[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] merlin803:
I am a first time android phone user, coming from 7+ years of i phones and I can honestly say that I have not noticed a "lag" or difference in smoothness coming from i phones. I am loving the S4 and can't see myself going back to an i phone.

Just my experience, you would think from reading some of these threads that ALL of the S4's are "laggy" or slow....just wanted to give my experience with it, it may be different for others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atari800:
iOS (any version) has a custom build for each device. You cannot take the iOS 6.13 for iPhone 5 and apply it on an iPad 3. They each have their own builds that exploit each devices capabilities to the maximum. Android on the other hand has 1 core OS build that each manufacturer either tweaks or adds bloat ware or whatever .... And there in lies the problem.

Sure SOMEONE could make a custom build for a SG4 that is specifically tweaks for the quad core CPU, it's ram, disk size/speed, etc. and make it run like water but take that same image a plop it on another phone and that performance is gone.

Now I can honestly say I don't have a1 second delay or a 2-3 delay anywhere, with exception to a game that is loading and those usually have a progress bar showing that there is activity.

Trying to help here - could it be that your lag is caused by the removal of 1 too many "bloat wares"? Possibly something is required or expected and you lag is just a timeout waiting for "program x" to respond???

If you disagree that's cool bro. Stfu and go cry to your mom about it. Reporting threads will only make you a bigger ass, considering they're not breaking any forum or moral rules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
When the same exact topic has been posted and locked multiple times in the past, it is breaking forum rules. They were locked and deleted for a reason. Either it was an unnecessary thread or it ran way off topic. This thread is both. The topic has been discussed not only in this thread but in many others all leading to them being both unnecessary and running off the topic. With that said, it is spam. And I don't care about freedom of speech. I have just as much a right to tell someone to stfu about a long drawn out and irrelevant topic, as they do to start said topic.

I have explained how things work with the phone, I have explained how it handles its hardware and software. I have explained that the "lag" is because people are not doing things right on their device. There is nothing more to discuss here as everything has been answered. What you are doing is telling me that I need to just stop, and not even putting up a reasonable debate on what I have said. I have backed up everything that I have said. You have provided nothing. So you, sir, can kindly piss off. If you can't provide anything logical against my argument, you have no place to tell me what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crzykiller:
If your S4 does not lag then you have some special S4 or something or you just have never used an AOSP rom before. After coming back from pure AOSP the stutters become very apparent. Opening apps isn't the problem as they open up very fast (don't know why people say that) but its the stuttering in the launcher and the apps and stuff. Like when you switch to the widgets in the touchwizz drawer. It takes time and it stutters like a mofo. I had the HTC One and that is a phone that doesn't stutter at all when going through the app drawer and home screens. It also eat up like 900mb of RAM and has terrible battery life (I'm coming from AOSP Which has crazy battery life)...

If you have ever tried a AOSP Rom like Slimbean you should know what a smooth phone looks like. Anyways the S4 is still an Amazing phone that has really crazy features that no other phone has. If you dont mind the little Stutters all over the place then good for you :laugh: but if you're like me who doesn't understand How a S600 quad-core CPU lags then I don't know what to say. Just my 2 cents, don't want to be offending in any way

Have a good day :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
I have had multiple devices and used every kind of ROM out there. I prefer TW on my Samsung devices and I prefer AOSP and the likes on HTC devices. Sense is horrible to me. I do like AOSP and similar ROMs because they are smooth and quick, but are boring after awhile. The reason I prefer TW is because it integrates features perfectly and the camera is much better as well. I have no actual problems with my phone on TW because I have taken the time to tweak and fine tune my system to perform with speed and conserve battery life. I can get 3 days on a full battery with moderate usage and get fairly high benchmark scores. Some of these people that complain are too lazy to even take basic steps to prevent issues. I go to varying extremes to make my stuff function how I want it to.
[Motorola Droid 4] jmonty42:
I've been running Android-Wifi-Tether version 3.3 beta 2 on my rooted D4 with JB without a problem until just recently. I successfully used it just last weekend without a problem. However, when I tried to use it just a couple days ago, it wouldn't broadcast for some reason. I couldn't pick up its signal on any of my laptops or other phones and the data counters never updated. I tried changing the device profile, changing some settings here and there, but nothing seemed to fix it. There are no errors shown in the logs, either. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, but that didn't do anything either. I'd really like to avoid re-flashing my phone just to get the wifi tether working again. I can't think of anything that changed in the past week that could have affected this, either. I didn't install any apps, I didn't change any system settings, it just suddenly stopped working.

Does anybody have any idea what this could be?

I had same problem when I first tried WM5 on my sx66. If I takeout my BA battery, all my network (GPRS, MMS) setups and email accounts are disappeared. So I created a cab with all my network and email account setups. I just reinstalled it and all my email accounts and networks setups are back. I know this is not a real solution to the problem. At least we don’t have to do all setups again. This cab is also handy if you have to do a hard reset for some reason. I can help you guys if somebody volunteers to test the cab.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kcchen:
I have the same problem... not on every soft reset, luckily. I've resorted to using the data and registry restores after a hard reset w/ storage clear. I wonder if it has something to do with the ramdisk.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwyjibo:
I'm trying to root my N4 using WUGS toolkit.

When I plug my phone in via USB it will charge but that's all it will do. Nothing shows in the taskbar of the phone and the computer doesn't recognize it. I've tried my main PC and my work laptop and neither will recognize it. Both will charge it though.

I tried uninstalling all USB drivers related to Google, Samsung, etc. as suggested in the toolkit. I rebooted and tried again but same issue. I've checked and unchecked and rechecked the USB debugging box on my phone and it makes no difference.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Use wug to install the drivers for you. I would also try a different port and cable.

I wasn't clear with my post. This is what I did. I installed the generic drivers and it wouldn't recognize my phone. Would charge but that's it.

Then I uninstalled those drivers and installed the signed drivers just to see if they'd work. Same issue.

Tried a different cable on a completely different computer. Same issue.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
I have a friend who has an N4 8GB, after the update to 4.3 from 4.2.2, the in-call sound dissapeared.

After tinkering with it, while unrooted, we found out that the phone is thinking the earphones are alway connected, even though they are not.

We downloaded an app that disables the earphone jack and it worked, but what a crappy workaround.

So, is there a fix for this? It was working on 4.2.2... I want to fix this while still being unrooted and stock.

I can give details if required.

more:

-baseband and bootloader got updated automatically to the latest.

-build number is JWR66Y, i saw people factory resetting their phone but it didn't solve that issue, so I'm guessing downgrading to JWR66V?

RMA it if it doesn't work after flashing the factory images because I don't know what else you could do. Flash everything together all over again too. Flash the bootloader then restart boot loader. Flash radio then restart Bootloader and then finally flash the system

As it says. Can't take pictures cuz it says no storage available or even use my xda app. Look in es file explorer under /storage/sdcard0 and it says its not mounted in settings I don't have the option to mount it only external. Is there a way to manually mount it? Iam on cm10.2 nightly btw
[Motorola Droid 4] skyss07:
I think 4.3 version is not allowing External SD Card to be visible and only the Internal SD Card are allowed to be visible. Try to use X-plorer app or any similar to it and go to root > storage > and you can see there "sdcard0" and "sdcard1" and open it. Hope this will help you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoudsalem91:
so last night I planned to come back and find a new ROM to install and I did found one ( PardusHDRom_412_final ). After installing the rom as it said how to do, the phone started up normally but I noticed there is something wrong with the network. it just show Emergency calls only!

so I started looking up for the cause of the problem and I got that it was the EFS. the recovery made a backup before the installation which I didn't knew that has been done. so I tried to just easily copy and past the folder with my backup and everything will be good to go. IT WORKED xD I got network and made calls and everything working very normally but it wasn't the ROM I wanted to have. I said if it happened once and worked then it will happen again after installing the rom I want. I installed the official ROM and Rooted it and tried doing what I did before but it didn't work and now im getting this msg all the time.

the rom it worked on was paranoid1.4

I tried doing factory reset and it showed me the same thing.

I installed another Official ROM but no luck and still this msg showing up..

Any help?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey94:
I tryed this, and it worked very well:

Go into Root Explorer. Go to /efs/FactoryApps/ and open the file "factorymode" with a texteditor.

Then delete "OFF" and write "ON" there. Now reboot and it will work.

Next time if you have to copy your EFS, just change it on your computer before copying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoudsalem91:
No, it didn't work. I tried with both ES file explorer and Root explorer ( blue icon ) it didn't do anything! :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Maybe you screwed permissions up by copying your backup the way you did.

You should put your backup on pc and follow the adb guide in my thread to delete and restore efs again.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoudsalem91:
you mean this?

I'm stuck in factorymode, is this related?

Yes, factorymode is caused by corrupt efs. It is possible to fix it with root and a terminal emulator.

Firstly try these commands (case sensitive)

Code:

su

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymodeIf they fail, use the more detailed commands:

Code:

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

rebootThis should hopefully return you to user mode. If not, restoring to stock and / or restoring an efs backup may be the next things you try before sending for repair.

I followed every step you said and I even read it again. cant I just do fix permission from recovery?

I hope you not laughing at me right now! lol

wow I did it!!!!! I just flashed an earlier stock rom ( 4.0.4 ) and its just working fine!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sorry, could you elaborate?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoudsalem91:
ok here is what happened. I tried finding a way to fix this. I don't know if it possible to just wipe the efs folder out to just reset it to default as it was so then I can be able to get the F*** out from this factorymode ( its really annoying ).

I flashed official ROM 4.0.4 and that's the full name ( I9300XXALE8_I9300HTSALE2_I9300NELE4_HOME.tar.md5 ). Network worked fine, I could make and receive calls and sms but that was the weird this that I noticed which there was no setup steps in the beginning as every new setup roms. so I did an update and another one and then another one then I got to the 4.1.2 now and im having the msg right now again.

can I format the efs partition ? is there is any other way than the one provided in your sticky forum?

btw changing from OFF to ON didn't work because it was already ON.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You'd only have the set up wizard if you factory reset.....

You need to delete EFS contents and restore your efs backup.

Ok all done. this time its DONE and working as normal again and here is what I did exactly.

after installing lots of Roms to find a way to get the hell out of the factorymode, the last rom I been using was Pardus HD. I tried changing from OFF to ON in factorymode file by text editor but it wasn't any luck by that because it was already ON. after I read what RootSU said in the last replay ( thanks a lot for your help ) deleting all efs partition files and restore the backup I hade. I deleted everything in this folder and just went into recovery ( philz touch ) did a factory reset and then chose installing new rom so it deleted everything. I went to mount and partition and did a format to cache and system again and then I installed a new rom ( Omega V48.1 ). the phone started but it was in factorymode still. opened ES file explorer and went to efs/factoryApp/ and then I opened the factorymode file with text editor and it was off so I changed it from OFF to ON and restarted the phone.

phone started in startup setup and after that everything back to normal. Im NOT gonna try flashing any roms for now, I will just enjoy my phone that back from factory f*** mode and maybe later I will see something new to flash or just back to stock.

im posting this because there is lots of people in factorymode and I know how they feel about being in this **** mode. it is really pain in the ass.

thank you so so so much RootSU and everyone helped me out.
