Thanks, right now I have better battery stats to analyze wakelocks and apps and then I have greenify and system tuner to freeze Google services and apps. Hopefully this minimizes drain.

Hello form Greece and thanx in advance for any help

I bought my samsung galaxy i8260 core one month ago and 2 days ago I rooted it and today I installed pimp my rom.

I tweaked only hte following:

1. Pixel density to 275 (worked fine)

2. i ticked the boxew that make browsing faster

3. Hardware acceleration and gpu rendering (reboot needed)

4. tried to install (before reboot) bravia engine but it stuck.

After 5 minutes of waiting I have long pressed the lock button to turn the device off. It went off. Now it wont turn on. It dispalys the welcome screen (samsung galaxy blah blah) and then black (lit however stating that the screen gets power) screen.

I tied to connect it to the pc but nothing happened except charging.

Please help, I do not have another phone and i urgently need it

Thanx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Options are, restore backup after full wipe, that is if you made one

Full wipe and then flash new ROM

Factory reset and hope it fixes it

Restore to factory

Any of these should work, best of luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisanag:
factory reset did not fix it.... it still does not boot

restore to factory (?)

i try to flash stock rom using odin but i cannot download it from sammobile
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If factory reset didn't fix it then you changed something in the system partition, find a custom ROM or stock ROM and flash either through Odin or recovery depending on choice

As for not being able to download it I can't say, maybe search Google for a mirror or look for another ROM

And next time be sure to make a backup before playing to deep in your phone for this reason
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyriakosTM:
Dont worry .It happens all the time to me.This phone is just too slow for 2013 standards and they sell it a lot in Greece as a really good one.

You just need to enter the recovery mode of Samsung Galaxy Phones .With the phone switched off press Volume UP+home button+power button .From the menu just press factory reset/wipe.If this does not work for you , you need kies->tools->emergency recovery.

If you have any further problem pm.

Also the tweaks you tried to put are already implemented on the phone last time i checked.Unless a good developer for this phone shows up and gives us a good rom you may need to leave as it is.

I tried lots and lots of tweaks ,this phone just gets slower and lagging.You can try flashing rom from netherlands one which is updated.I saw an immediate increase in speed.

I'm looking for the most battery friendly rom there is out there.

A rom and battery life are related to what you do with your phone. So there is no "most" or "best".

you can try wanamlite (standart features and really good battery life)

thunderlite ....but everytime i try to flash walkman from sony it breaks (i used this apk on other roms and it works flawlessly)

and swift v4 is really good too.

all of them have amazing battery life and also you can use greenify to kill apps like facebook that are like leechers sometimes.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmadAlmousa:
Good question danielfiller.

Guys what about CM-based roms ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
Same answer. Battery life depends on what you're doing with your phone. I cam chew through a full charge quicker by playing IronMan, versus it sitting there doing nothing.

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmadAlmousa:
You're totally right. However, if you are to let your phone set ideally. Do you think it would drain faster if CM-based is installed ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
I would guess sitting idle doing nothing, the differences would be negligible.

I think you would see marginally different gaps by using various kernels. Some are geared to better handling wakelocks and shutting things down to a very low state while idle. But, end of day, I would wager a difference of maybe 30mins, if there was one.

Andreilux, the brains behind the perseus kernel (tw roms only) could give a much better insight on the edge cases and why/how drains happen outside of errant apps. But most mere mortals may go glassy eyed trying to follow along.

Straight Talk just announced that they're going to support LTE on their ATT bring your own phone sim card program.

They advertise free overnight shipping on all orders over $6.99 (exact price of sim card), and confirmed with a Straight Talk customer service rep on the phone (I have the full call recorded as well).

BEWARE upon checkout, they will charge you $14.95 for overnight shipping.

Here's the detailed video.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
ZVB is 4.1.2. If your phone updated to zvb then you were on zv9. And you should update to zvb before root and unlock.

1000's have used FreeGee and not had issues since zvb came out in March.

I just used FreeGee again yesterday to unlock ZVC, so it works just fine.

On phone now, but give me a minute and I'll post a couple links here.

[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Hey Everyone, now before you start posting anything about this being a comparison I would like to say that...

This is NOT a Comparison between the galaxy s 4 models.

What I wanted to ask you guys if I should change from the I9500 to the I9505 since I have a chance.

As for myself I think I should since I like flashing lots of Roms and the I9505 community is bigger.

Or the I9506 (I don't know much about)

Tell me what you think by voting on the poll.

Ps. If you have any opinions or reasons for me to change to it or to stick with the I9500 please share your opinion in a good manner. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] frazbox:
I would like to know as well. Where I live its the 9500 that sells more, but I also love to flash a lot of ROMs
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Exactly...so weird you own the tf201 also haha....that thing has the smallest xda community haha.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
Now is up to you entirely...

Advantages over i9500:

I9505 has LTE if you need it

has better battery life

has OpenGL ES 3.0 which will be useful starting with Android 4.3

has bigger selection of roms, you can turn your i9505 into a Google edition one and get latest updates without sammy's TW and craps..

Now i hope that nobody gonna get me wrong here, but Samsung completely fwcked up with this unfinished exynos on the i9500.

The decision is yours, they're both amazing devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ranger4740:
First thing I think you need at assess is what are your goals, what are you wanting to achieve & what are you going to expect by changing phones? (Edit) other than flashing. Both are rather comparable ya know at least from what I've read, its not like changing from a HTC desire to a HTC one S or something like that.

If you have opportunity then have BOTH and enjoy the best of both worlds I9505 for flashing and I9500 for better sound.

From what I've read better sound is the only real world benefit between the two.

Oh yes forgot about LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Thanks for your reply.

Very good reasons and I really care for getting the latest updates quickly.

Another thing that I'm not sure about is if the I9505 lags during gaming...some say yes some say no. So if anyone owns it please tell me about that too. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Haha the perfect world...owning all the phones hehe, but no I can't own both actually but will probably get the nexus 5 as a secondary drive if it is as cheap as the nexus 4 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
I don't think you will notice any difference between them, what i'm sure about is that both will get better and better with new updates, and the apps/games will get better optimization updates too. When first came out the s4 many games were running smoother on the s3, but since then things changed.

Let's hear some other opinions ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] jcasares:
The lags I suffered were with old games that weren't updated in more than a year. I believe it has to do with the screen size.

No problems until now with new games but I don't use CPU intensive ones like FPS or Racing games.

About the change, if you love to paly with different ROMs and try new things the 9505 is a better choice. I have a couple of friends with the 9500. They have less battery at the end of the day and use it less than me. Could be Touchwiz or could be Qualcom optimizations.

Anyway, there is still not the level of activity the 9100 has but you will be entertained. And the recommendation is always to get a Nexus device. The 9505 is the closest you will get without compromising SD Card or replaceable battery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Thanks for your reply.... The i9100 was a beast and a game changer.... It had tons of Roms
[Galaxy S 4 General] chickentuna:
Well in my opinion if you really wanted to be on the Android bleeding edge like really wanted to be on the latest Android version, the i9505 would suit you best. Google was really serious with the i9505g getting timely updates and since the i9505g is basically i9505, you could flash the latest android version with it and since you mentioned you really like flashing roms, the i9505 would not disappoint.

i9505 advantages:

1. Timely updates from Google(only a week behind the nexus updates) thanks to the i9505g.

2. LTE

3. Custom roms

4. Dev support.

I don't own the i9500 so I cannot really comment on it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] matheus_sc:
if you not satisfied with gt 9500 i think you should go to other devices like xperia z1 or optimus g2, makes more sense.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ps000000:
I miss Arrow rom (not for i9505 yet)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
When did I say that I am dissatisfied with the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Very Great Rom, I am currently running it. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] matheus_sc:
When you think in switch
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
Yea, to switch to a diffrent model of the same phone!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabil alami:
By the way did anyoney here own/still own a nexus 4.....?

If yes is there a big difference between the two devices?
[Galaxy S 4 General] l.Urker:
The i9505 struggles to keep some intensive games like Real Racing 3 smooth (>30fps) according to my experience! Battery life is phenomenal on my i9505, getting 4.5-5.5 hours of screen time at 40% brightness with constant LTE and Data on! Lasts about 20 hours on average! If you rather have battery life and dev support, go for the i9505, otherwise the i9500 is a good choice too!
[Galaxy S 4 General] netban:
Like others have mentioned, 9500 for the Wolfson audio or 9505 for the slightly larger development community. That is how I would see it anyways.

They are so very similar in many respects but I personally would prefer a larger selection of options available in the development world.

I'm on Jamal's 4.3 GE and it's the buttery smoothness you come to expect with such a device.
