[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MXRaceR141:
Hey all,

So I've had a bit of a 2 part problem here. I flashed Infamous v3.6 a few weeks back on my S4, and everything has been flawless... Except for 40% of my apps fail to recognize the properly mounted 16GB MicroSD that I have in the phone. So, I attributed this to the ROM not handling the card properly, "oh just a bug in a custom rom". The OS itself, as well as file manager, etc, all see the SD Card just fine. But certain apps won't pick it up, I.E. photo collage apps, hungry shark, etc.

So I downloaded a bunch of ROM's today, going back to AOKP and a different TW ROM, etc. Set them all on my desktop. Stripped all of the files off my External SD Card to clean it up. Thought maybe, before flashing a new ROM, using the reformat SD card that's built into the S4 under options may resolve the issue.

Did the reformat, didn't solve the issue.

Now, I'm trying to xfer my downloaded ROMS to the phone, and the 1.5 gb file completes, but cuts it short ~1.3 GB (no way I'm risking flashing that), but some of my smaller AOKP roms won't transfer.

Spits up the "Cannot Copy Item: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" error. This happens when trying to transfer it to the external SD, or internal memory. Gapps/Photosphere transfer just fine (much smaller zips).

I'm wondering:

Does it have to do with the way the card is formatted now and what file partition this rom supports?

That being said, how do I reformat it? Considering MTP/PTP don't support it as a "drive" that is reformattable via PC.

BTW, running Win 8 with the newest Samsung USB Driver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't even flash a new rom since I ripped my older downloaded roms of the SD, and I can't put new ones on :(

Thanks

Suggestions:

Format the sd card as fat32.

Change usb cable.

Change usb port on the pc.

Try a different sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MXRaceR141:
Tried different ports, and it's a brand new cable for a brand new phone but I'll try swapping that out. What's the easiest way to format it to fat32? Through CWM? I feel like at some point someone in these forums said to avoid partitioning the sd card that way.

Not sure about this fix, but I did get the SNote app working and fixed version is up. Just wish it was reported sooner. I had no idea until today.

Curious where you get the 'gubro" & "gro though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pie_are_squared:
I just switched from Sprint to Verizon this week and I have discovered that Verizon and torrenting don't seem to go hand in hand.

There seems to be two issues:

1. After downloading a torrent file and opening it up in an appropriate program (say uTorrent for example) it wont connect to any peers. (or so I hear from those who have attempted this, not me of course)

2. If Verizon finds out that you are torrenting, they will rain all sorts of hell down upon you.

I'm wondering (strictly out of curiosity of course) if there is any way to mask the fact that I'm torrenting (of course only hypothetically, I wouldn't torrent, that's illegal apparently)?

Additionally, if I were to tether my computer through my phone, would they still be able to tell, and is there any way of masking that as well (again, strictly hypothetical)?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottusa2008:
Two things come to mind that prevent torrenting from working on Verizon.

One is the ToS say we can't use "peer–to–peer (P2P) file–sharing applications" as this would degrade the service. As for using your computer and trying I doubt it will do any good since the your still using Verizon's wireless network. It's probable Verizon might have measures in place to detect and block torrent activity (and specific other activity they don't allow on there network).

Second is that you probably have a private IP address and not a public one. Unless you pay the $500.00 fee to get a public IP address you are assigned a private IP address... Because of this it is not possible for anyone to connect directly to the device. Depending on where you go for your torrents (and the BT client configuration of whom your connecting to) if your not connectable then you won't be able to download...

As for hiding your activity you could possibly run an encrypted VPN connection of some kind and see if that helps. If you have a home computer you might be able to set this up easily, but the reliability and download/upload speeds would be limited to the internet connection of the VPN server.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
I've been torrenting and tethering daily for the last 2 years with no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pie_are_squared:
Thanks

Thanks for your response, this leads me though to two (new) questions:

1. For some reason when I was with Sprint, I had no problem with this, which leads me to wonder if it cant be managed with Verizon as well.

2. Are there any good methods for running a VPN directly from my phone, and will it indeed hide my activity from Verizon?

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pie_are_squared:
Thanks, I guess I'll keep trying then, Although I found one way to get it to work. If I start the torrent while my phone is connected to my home wifi (which is not as fast), and then turn off the wifi on my phone, the torrent will keep running fine. It seems as though (for me at least) I cant connect to any peers while on my phones internet, but once connected it will download just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottusa2008:
Can you shed some light on how you are able to do this? What torrent client works for you? Is there any special configurations/roms/etc. you have installed that make the torrent client work?

Are you running a BT client on a computer tethered to the mobile device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] catapilla:
.... I tether and torrent like a mad man. Use private trackers like bitsoup.me and force encryption.. Disable local peer discovery and dht and your fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
Been doing it also. I rarely torrent but use adownloader (try their website) i think the play store is restricted.

Tether all the time without any problems. Unlimited data plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Longwayii:
I use ttorrent pro and download all the newest everything. It's not Verizon is user era lol just joking but look around there's ways cause its one of the main reasons I kept unlimited data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pie_are_squared:
thanks, how do do all those things?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Utorrent wouldn't work on my Bionic but tTorrent lite from play store worked like a champ so I use that on my GS4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
I'm just running Eclipse 2.0 and using Ttorrent. But the ROM shouldn't have anything to do with it. Not sure why it wouldn't work, I've been using ttorrent since my droid incredible days.

As far as tethering goes, most Roms will have the built in tether app working out of the box. If not, the WiFi tether app found from Google code works well.

Hello Friends,

I wish to gather as much info as we can about the I9500 that are heating......because I was informed by someone at samsung that the devices manufactured after june have a revised PCB....which eliminates the overheating and battery problem.......I got my I9500 on 14th aug but in Antutu it was reching 85 degrees hence I will be getting a replacement tomorow....

Please use *#2222# to find out the HW Version : The defected ones (I assume not confirmed yet) are REV 0.6 because my friend has the same rev and his phone heats up as well........So if we succeed in getting more and more details we can go to samsung svc and ask them to atleast replace the motherboard....Cheers......

Heres What we need

Date Purchased :

Date Manufactured on the box :

How hot does it get :

Does the heating affect battery life :

Maybe ask the guy if he have a port for 9500

Use wheatley governor (huge improvement to reduce heat since it doesn't bump all the way to max cpu all the time).

My battery life nearly doubled, can last 15-20 hours easy depending on usage.

Hmmm so am getting a replacement tomo by tue I will confirm if any improvements are seen if yes then u can approach samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codenamezero:
honestly, if your problem is only the heat, i am pretty sure a better cpu governor would solve your issue. lets face it, these phone will get hot, running close to 2ghz, quad cores with NO active cooling... even my desktop cpu gets around 45c with liquid cooling man...

i am sure the temperature is an issue using all existing governor (except if you use powersaver or conservative, but is slow), but the wheatley does a good job keeping the phone smooth despite staying at the lower end of the cpu speed as much as possible..

i got my S4, eventhough we have triangle away, i never planned to return it anyway, i'd just deal with the heat problem, in fact, at the beginning before i even discover the new kernel, i just manually reduce the max cpu speed to 1.6Ghz, and that solved the heat problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypergamer1231:
So without rooting its not possible to limit the cpu and thats where am having a problem!!!!

Rev 0.6 here. Spectacular battery life 5-6 hours screen time. Overheat issue is "almost" gone for me. Atleast the heat is not enough to bother me while browsing and general use. Heavy gaming makes the phone quite hot though, out of the comfort zone of placing the top of the phone in your hand.

Purchased my S4 in June. Had horrible overheat issues, hickups,restarts, battery level suddenly jumping to low followed by a restart.

Every single one of this issue got solved by the firmware update. Latest MG5 (Indian). So please update to this one if you haven't already (Flash it) and report your temp, general battery life etc with us.

Yup Been MG5 since Day 1 and have done multiple factory resets still the temperature issue exists even the svc confirmed that the heating I have is a hardware issue,,,,,

*********If anyone from india recently bought the S4 they have a offer going on wherein 1 screen replacement will be done for free by samsung till the device is under warranty you can call samsung cust care and give them your purchase date they will confirm if the device is eligible for a free screen replacement!!!!! So for me no more screen guards needed,.....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inolvidable:
I am running MG5 (Indian) firmware stock, no root, hw rev 0.6. I did some measurements today with cool tools

Ambient temp : 29°C

Idle processor temp: 37°C

Light task processor temp: 43-50°C

Web browsing heavy pages: 45-60°C

Playing sonic 4 ep1 : 59-67°C

Antutu processor temp: 70-92°C

Antutu score: 27.896

Pretty standard temp behaviour I guess. The overheating in my phone seems to be the inevitable one that comes with such a powerful (and unfinished) processor.

If someone gets a new hw rev we could compare at a given conditions (ambient temperature, apps running etc..). It might not be very representative, but it could be fun.

So say we all!! from my GT-I9500

Bought last June 14..

No "overheat issue."

Heavy gaming makes phone hot but not to the point of overheating. Also after flashing a new rom it gets hot on first reboot (just wait for the rom to settle)

Every smartphone gets hot in a certain situation and thats pretty normal..

Best battery stats of my s4

Got 2x 7 houra screen time

But usually my usage is between 5.5 hours to 6.5hours screen time

I think you really got a bad device and not a batch defect. Good thing they will replace it for a new one.

I suggest update your device yo latest firmware or root and install custom rom and kernel.

Eventhough we have less available rom and kernel for now, the good thing is that they are all very nice and devs are great.

overheating SOLVED

please switch off your google now completely and switch off localisation services for google applications and delete apps proceses from some cleaning app like clean master before gameing in some have game than you will see how your heat will be dramatically reduced i think this is only way to overcome overheating. Google now is responsible for overheating...propably people without this switched on are happy from their devices thats why some people said dont have any overheat because they just simply dont have google now switched on heh Try this you will be happy, I feel like have other device now. Playing modern combat 4 2 hours and only bit warm ! that was impossible before. Before I had hot after 10 minutes in modern combat heh. Dont forget to tell thank you

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

just tried with gangstar rio while phone was on charger all the time used to play 1 h while on charger and phone still not overheat !!!! no difference now witch charger or not phone is still nearly cold !!!. So mates you have now solution ! and this really again really work ! he I cant believe I fixed it and so many people couldnt before heheh. Propably you dont even need all this things what I wrote above, enough will be if you will swich off localisation for google services and after you will switch off google now service completely. But if you want you can do all like I did so as well kill all processes before gaming from some memory cleaner but I think this is not important and completely enough will be to sort google like I said.

if you want to know more please go back to second big thread about s4 overheat on xda last 3 posts. Dont forget to tell Thank you mr :) to switch off google now completely press home button longer than tap sign called g in the middle on the bottom than you will be in google now so now please tap only this light button on left from home button than choose settings and here switch google now off and you are ready to go :) and localisation for google you switching off in another place so go to google settings app on your home screen and there choose location and switch off access location. And thats all ! :) be happy now from another device :)
