[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi Guys

Basically had two S4's from phones4u, my first was the black mist, which had intermittent faults and in my opinion overheated. This was sent

to Samsung who said that in a nut shell it was fine and the S4's ran warm get over it or words to that affect. As I was unhappy and out of the 28 day return I decided to sell. I was still in love with the S4 so bought another again from phones4u from an ad as an upgrade but I was given the receipt.

This one is the arctic blue version which is really sexy :) hehe and I love the look, problem is this one seems to also run hot in fact even hotter than the black mist, I was hoping as the blue model was newer Samsung would have identified the heating issues and built the next batches with possibly better thermal compounds or some other way of reducing overheating. This version also occasionally lags and jutters from time to time, I find when on power saving mode they both ran smoother.

My problem is I only have a few days left on the 28 day return so I want to make sure that I havent been that unfortunate to have 2 brand new s4's that are faulty, I know that the s4's run hot and I know that a lot of people are complaining about smoothness, but how hot is the norm and how smooth should they be?? is the question.

I've had loads and loads of phones including, htc one, iphone 5, S3, various windows phones, so I know how smooth smooth should be.

I would like to root and put a custom rom on but I'm holding out to know if this phone is faulty or slightly faulty so to speak, or if everyones S4 is as hot and every so often jerky, I find internet very jerky especially when using chrome browser simple things like scrolling, its not my wifi as my wifes s3 and ipad mini run smooth or smoother.

On Antutu my benchmarks vary from as low as 21000 to as high as 26000?, I know that Samsung is involved in this benchmark rigging thing but surely thats not right?, sometimes I have wifi on dont know if that makes a difference both to benchmarks and heat?.

When I do a stability test, the top half of the screen gets very hot and normally temps start at 30 and rise to around 40 with a gradual increase, as for the stability it goes from 140 to sometimes 70 (3 or 4 times) it also takes around 15% out of my battery for around a 10 min test.

I have attached screens as luck happens the last stability test the phone went to under 40 as you can see, I charged the battery left it a while then ran the test fresh, please can you run the stability test on your s4's guys and put my mind at rest or help me prove to phones4u my phones running hot.

My firmware is UBMGA - i9505

Many thanks

Of course s4 is hot when you use processor a lot or when you recharge s4. Mine hasnt ever become uncomfortable hot but it is warm. Antutu score doesnt mean anything because everybody has different apps running and so on. You had two s4 and it is almost impossible that both of the phones has problems. Remember that s4 is very powerfull and it is very tight package so it is normal if its hot.

My SGS4 is always hot during playing games. Sometimes extremly hot. I've sent it back for warranty repair but they said it's ok. So no luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kriomag:
S4 is hot ;)

its hotter than S3 i used to have. It says 1.9Ghz but in games or benches its sometimes lower even than 1.5Ghz because of thermal throttling... when i used 1.5Ghz as max in setcpu i had better results in 3dmark! yep! and antutu score become stable - a bit lower but stable, with 1.9Ghz i had 24000-25600. with 1.5Ghz i had 24300 almost every time.

But now im using UV kernel and i UV -0,50V and i set thermal throttling temp to 90'C, now my antutu score became almost stable at ~26100 :)

I think samsung overclocked this S600 to much... 1.5Ghz is almost stable but 1.9Ghz is definitly not.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] psm510:
Hey everybody, my stock battery isnt really charging anymore. Sometimes when it plug it in it says charging and then hours later it stays at the percentage it was in previous to charging. Then when it does charge, the battery runs out quick. Time to get a new battery I just wanted to ask:

Anker

or

Hyperion?

I think Anker just added NFC (which i need) so i wanted to know which one you guys preferred. I have seen some threads where people liked one over the other, but they were old. Thats why i made this thread to get some fresh and new input on which is better. Is Anker really worth the five extra bucks? Or is the cheaper Hyperion superior? Or is there somebody else who has a stock sized battery that is even better?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] foolie:
I always go with Anker. Used their batteries on my galaxy nexus for a year and they held their charge very well compared to two of my stock Samsung batteries that lasted about half the anker. Didn't experience any battery degradation
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fitz420:
I also have great experience with anker. Used em in my evos, and on two laptops. Also bought their laptop chargers. I can't speak for Hyperion, but I assure you that anker products are high quality.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shakewell:
Anker...

Sent from my SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] psm510:
thanks

Why the ellipsis? Are you being forced to type that? Are you being held at gunpoint? LEAVE HIM ALONE ANKER EMPLOYEES!!!

Jokes aside, there is a lot of Anker love in this thread, so im going with them. I think they have a decent warranty as well IIRC. ill look into it. Thanks everybody!

I used a Hyperion in my Evo 4g a couple years ago and it worked well. Now I have an Onite 4500mah and its worked great so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgwilly:
Anker works for me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] therealdoodle:
Nothing but good experience with anker for me. I bought an external charging pack and it rocks. Their customer service is exceptional as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dvaderx:
I have both and both work fine. I'd give the nod to anker because it has a better more sturdy extended back case that comes with it.

the hyperion back case cracked within a week in several places. but the battery works fine. if your only care is battery. either. if you care about both case and battery go with anker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elcabone:
word! .. case/battery go to Anker... i guess that's the best option for ya.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
That's what you should have done in the first place; let EE deal with the hassle.
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
Hi Yes you are correct, however I was advised by ee in store to return it to HTC as they would be doing that, rather than repair it themselves because it was due to physical manufacture defect.
[One (M7) General] foxmeister:
And therein lies the problem. You should've insisted that EE handled the repair because they were the original retailer, and therefore it is their statutory duty to make good on the repair and/or replace. I would still go back to EE and claim that since it has been nearly two months since you reported the initial fault, and that you have now been without a phone for 3 weeks, they should replace your device because it is unable to be repaired in a satisfactory time scale and that this is a breach of your statutory rights. Don't take no for an answer, and throw section 48B of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 in their faces.

[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
HTC have now re located my device, after a call from ee to them. I will now receive a perfectly repaired device back from htc next Tuesday (hopefully) else I'll be going around the houses yet again. If all is OK on Tuesday it will be 69 calendar days since I first reported the problem to HTC. Customer service excellence eh...

3rd HTC repair attempt, but they want me to pay

Hi,

Had some new info from htc today. They lost my phone last week and have now decided that they want to charge me for another repair?!? This is without me even having the phone returned to me after the last repair attempt (2nd repair attempt, again under under warranty).

I can only assume that they caused yet more damage with their 2nd repair attempt, and they want me to pay for it.

I spoke to EE this morning who have raised this as an issue with OFCOM now. The last commitment from HTC (to both me and EE) was that they would return the repaired phone to me for 3/9/13. This was on Friday. I also tweeted HTC over the weekend and they committed to escalating the case (again).

I also want to say thanks to EE for their help in this matter, escalating it to OFCOM themselves.
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
Nearly

A minor update. HTC tweeted me again after another day on the phone with ee, htc uk, and htc tweeters, As follows:

- HTC uk have now decided (with ee's help again) not to charge me and have advised that my repair is complete and MAY be with me today, despite using UPS standard. UPS have not received the device yet so I will not be receiving the device today as promised under this courier arrangement. I am now exactly where I was 1 week ago with HTC.

I was tweeted again by htc to ask what my ticket number is, so I provided this (as I did on Saturday when they requested it). I tweeted them to 121 courier it to me today.

HTC UK customer service have agreed to email me in the morning to update me on the UPS standard delivery and have refused to courier it to me by any other method because no managers are available to arrange this. Maybe , just maybe, today will be the day my HTC One is returned without defect. I also tweeted that I want a written letter of apology, compensation and a fault free htc one today.

EE have been absolutely brilliant today and have really given me excellent support. thank you Gareth and team for your support.
[One (M7) General] uronfire:
HTC customer service sucks donkey balls
[One (M7) General] biffsmash:
Don't tell me.... said manufacturing defect is the much lauded gap in the "gapless" technology phone?

Seriously if the phone was less than 28 days old, I would of returned it to EE for a replacement on the spot, although I wouldn't of bothered as every phone in the world has issues, as they aren't Rolls Royce or Rolex's.
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
I didnt bother for a month after receiving but the crack got worse. The real problem is not the crack. The crack is caused by the front of the device not being squarely attached to the rear, which causes an over/underhang at the top/bottom. I recommend you check yours and return if you can feel this with your fingernail, else yours may crack also. Also check to see if the glass is fitted evenly (see pics). I think this is also caused by the poor front/back fitting as it stops the glass from fitting correctly. If you have your phone on contract I agree (with hindsight) that you should return to your network provider for repair. Going to HTC (UK) has been a disaster. My network (EE) have been brilliant "motivating" HTC to repair the device. Any how the phone is now repaired and, supposedly, on its way to me. I have but one remaining item of business with HTC (UK) which is delivery. They promised to get it to me today, but are using ups standard which wont deliver that result. Yesterday I asked them to escalate this issue and make arrangement for a person to person delivery today. Still waiting for feedback from my escalation, but yesterday they advised that no-one in HTC (UK) has the authority to do this!! I think this actually means they cant be bothered, even after taking 70 days to fix a problem. Hopeless.

I tweeted HTC yesterday and they are looking into my case. They also said they would do this on Saturday however with no apparent results or updates from them. More lip service I think. Still I'll do the silly HTC repair dance for as long as it takes, and cause as much pain and shame as is necessary to do it.
[One (M7) General] Sean88:
Sorry, but I had the same issue on my One. It didn't get worse or bother me at all. You could of just lived with it and not got so OCD and about.
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
Look at the pics. If u think thats acceptable then fine, but I am not you. The device was in the process of falling to bits. In my case it did get worse as you can see. You may think that Im OCD, but the law states that the device should be free from defect, and I am thankful of it. Thank you for the valuable contribution to this thread.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
The gapless tech does not cover the speaker area. This has been said many times, even HTC has said it in one of their blogs.
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
Oh dear, oh dear

Hi,

got the phone back today, and the gap is back but is now full of a glue. This was actually fixed after the first repair but its back. There is also additional damage in the form of a chunk out of the corner, and an additional gap at the side of the device. The glass problem is yet to be fixed as is the over/underhang, and theres lots of excess glue around the device.

Lucky I got before and after photos at repair cycle. Repair not accepted. No more HTC repairs for me I think.

I made much noise on twitter, and now have a publicly made personal commitment from a HTC senior exec to help with the matter (Twitter is marvelous in these circumstances). I await his response. I am somewhat relieved at this as it does show, at least at the top, that they do care.

So there's good, and there's bad in this update, so unfortunately its still a thumbs down from me. as my problem is still not resolved 71 days after I first reported it.

I offered my professional services to help transform HTC but have not heard anything back yet.

The helpful EE guy I was talking to has disappeared off the face of the planet also until Saturday apparently also. BBC;s watchdog have had a sniff so this could be the start of my TV career, if HTC dont want to hire me.

I also updated HTC and advised that I will only discuss this with the senior exec who offered his services from this point on.

P.S Apologies for the poor pics. I had to use my old phones camera.
[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
Whereas this story is very poor I have to say HTC's UK repairs center were great when it came to me sending in my old Desire and Sensation for repair. 3 day turnaround and both sorted without bother. It does seem like this is a bad experience, though, and one that would just make me claim on my insurance to get a new handset as opposed to getting one repaired :(
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
My device is under warranty. This is the result of three warranty repairs, lots of escalation, costs (time spent, days off waiting for the device to be returned) and grief. How would I make a claim on insurance, its in warranty. Believe me,if I thought my insurance company would fix my ongoing problem I would have claimed. I HAVE authored a thread previously stating what an excellent level of service I received from HTC UK repair, when I had a problem with my HTC desire.

I will give credit where credit is due, and complain when it is due. I want to write nice things about HTC, but in this case I cannot unfortunately.
[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
Oh, I know what you're saying. I'm just saying if I'd had this much agro I would've just got the phone back unrepaired and claim on my insurance and just a brand new handset...sucks that this has happened to you
[One (M7) General] zaphodbeeb:
But would your experience figure in your next purchase? HTC have made contact and I am confident they are taking this matter seriously. Hopefully be seeing improvements and lots of positive reviews like this one

I just bought a new tablet known as Takhti7 which is a product of Pakistan. The specifications are listed below. I need to root my tablet and install either CynogenMod or any other stock ROM which might fasten the tab a bit.

I spent my earlier part of this evening making this with a tool.It's an aroma installer package and for those who don't know what that is it's a mod which gives u an extra GUI in recovery and allows you to pick what mods you want to install.It's limited right now and read all here before messing up your device and coming back to report an error you made.

Disclaimer:I'm not responsible if your phone explodes,shocks you or melts or whatever.Do this at your own risk if there really are any.

The first version of this mod has 3 sections.

-You'll find root apps.Framaroot,root tools and xposed installer.Choose if you want them.

-You'll find nodo camera mod(don't use if you aren't on stock),and the xperia gallery app and more in the app section.Don't install oppogallery2 if your not on the stock rom except you want to try and you know how to revert.

-The clock widget section is a choose one only option to choose between the Oppo green,red,yellow clock widget respectively.Don't choose the 3 or you'll end up with the yellow.I included the order in the title so you don't have to remember.(due to renaming issues I had with the aroma compiler you need to go into /sytem/app and rename any oppodigitalclockwidgetG or r to "OppoDigitalClockWidget.apk")

This is the beginning and I'll add more and keep the package apps updated.

Hit thanks to say thanks and happy flashing.This are all compiled by me so if you share give me credit.Included apps[4.3camera,framaroot,Oppoclock widgets(R,G,Y),nodo-gt camera mod,recoverytools,G.E.sunbeam live wallpaper,xperia walkman,xperia gallery,xperia z ultra launcher,xposed framework]

Hello peeps!

I happened to get a big crack a couple of days ago from a nail when me and my dad where doing some work on our roof. Since the crack is on the backside it really isnt disturbing and the insurance wont take I must fix it myself. Since I really dont care how the phone looks on the backside I was thinking of getting some kind of glue-rubber material to make it waterproof and more safe again. Got any ideas what kind of material is good??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Stick some clear silicone in the crack. Get yourself a tube, cut the absolute bare minimum off the tip then apply some very sparingly over the crack. Then tool it off into the crack making sure any excess is wiped away with a wet wipe.

Trust me, I do mastic (silicone) work all day.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
just send it for repair,even if it's out of warranty it won't be costing that much, these kind of fixes only mess up your phone and warranty.
