That is a feature of the Motorola X, but Android Police have posted that the google update for all phones may have the ability to have screen off listening. Right now once you launch search you can say ok Google
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Suzook1:
after rooting and getting my note 3 on att I have to say I am just in awe how good the battery life is.

I have sync on for gmail, facebook, linkedin and moderate use I am at 2 days and 7 hours off the charger with 18% left. Screen time of 5 hours and 6 minutes.

Killed a lot of apps with TI and it has really just been awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
Yeah, I'm about to hit éight hours of screen on time, pretty damn good for a stock unrooted phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
Battery life is incredible. Im on my first cycle, 1 hr on screen time, 9 h off charge and 75% left. Fantastic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lawalty:
I'm totally stoked on how awesome the battery life is! Full day of listening to SiriusXM, while using the built in pedometer, texting, and using Google Hangouts for face to face chatting, and still last all day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
According to my usage scheme, I had to replace battery twice with s3, and once with Note 2, but this thing can leave even more than 10%!

It even can last five days if you leave it idle 24/7.

how do you get such good battery life??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slick4mitch:
By not using your phone ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itzsmokey:
Yea that's what I try to do and it works, but I would love to get 7 hours of screen time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevessvt:
I think the common element here is all these people where getting great battery life before KK dropped. I know mine has gone downhill after KK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stir fry a lot:
If you're rooted, try disabling DVFS through Wanam. It substantially increased my battery life.

[Google Chromecast] micks_address:
Hi folks, I have my chromecast connected directly to my Denon avr 3310 and powered from the USB port on my TV. Chromecast is working as expected. I get dolby digital plus with no problems and great hd pictures from Netflix. Trouble happens when I switch back to my satellite box. That's connected to my TV via hdmi and receiver via optical. Since adding chromecast I get audio dropouts when watching satellite. How do I know it's chromecast? When I remove the USB cable powering the chromecast from the TV all audio issues dissappear. Anyone have similar issues? Cheers mick
[Google Chromecast] 007shark:
I would do what was suggested and move the usb to maybe a wall adapter for power for troubleshooting. Also make sure that somehow your optical input is not assigned to the same source as your chromecast hdmi input and double check all your input assignments on the Denon.
[Google Chromecast] micks_address:
Tried everything but in the end changed my satellite receiver to send audio via hdmi to the reciever and everything is playing nice now
[Google Chromecast] wistlo:
Same here with a Denon 790 and analog sources. The Chromecast is plugged on back of the receiver inside a bookshelf nook, so disconnecting it is impractical.

The workaround is to drill down the menu through Input Assign > [HDMI] for the port used by Chromecast > set to "None". When using the Chromecast again, reverse the procedure and reassociate the port. Don't forget which port number holds the Chromecast.

It's inconvenient and my wife explicitly Does Not Like It, but the dropouts stop when you disassociate the port. You eventually memorize the remote key sequence without needing the onscreen menu.

Hope this helps, even after 3+ years.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nocturney:
After we accepted the fate of our so-called flagship device having unfinished processor, overheating, smearing and all the other things we've managed to live with, another "fun" surprise is revealed.

During the last week I experienced at least once a day forced restart of my device, and going up with 0% battery.

At first 2 days it occured when I was on about 10-20% power, bat afterwards even on high percentage.

While thinking I'm the only one, I've seen a similar report on an Israeli forum,

and later the report on SamMobile

and AndroidBeat

Note : Device is

GT-I9500

. I am using latest Wanam based MH1 rom, with stock kernel, no mods besides Xposed module with the Wanam-Xposed app.

Someone else would like to share their experience on the subject ? Other versions of the phone having the same issue ?

Or perhaps it's not battery-related at all ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] valentinrascu:
30% of All galaxy s4 are faulty

tapatalked with s4
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
Yep.

Numerous reports of faulty batteries and loss of signal.

Probably another problem on the motherboard...
[Galaxy S 4 General] olimjon:
I had also swollen battery problem it was batch starting with S/N BD .what is your sn starting with
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nocturney:
You're right, mine is also starting with BD
[Galaxy S 4 General] milan188:
How do you check the batch

Sent from a Galaxy S4 now Free
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tanis64:
Seems that a lot of S4 are involved in that problem. Both Versions are hit, (I9500 and I9505) didn't know if the carrier models have the same battery.

Hopefully this is only a battery fault.

Here in Germany (9505) a lot of people have this issue.

30% I read also about.

Symptoms:

- Phone just powered off.

- Can't boot completely without charger connected.

- Battery level jumps

- Connection losts (consuming higher energy, faulty battery can't supply)

Call Samsung or Carrier to obtain replacement battery, in Germany Samsung Support is aware of this issue

Defected battery can catch fire while discharging, so cover contacts of the faulty battery with some kind of tape.

In Germany Samsung Support charge you to send back the defective battery, DHL (one of the biggest logistics here) did not allow sending defective lithium ion battery on the postal way. So I bring it to a big electronic discounter for a proper disposal.

[Galaxy S 4 General] milan188:
I think my batch number is B600BE it's the code above the S/N code. This is my new battery. Will check the old one tomorrow
[Galaxy S 4 General] olimjon:
That's not batch it's model look at your S/N number if it's starting with BD then you have faulty battery.All of people who have battery problems have S/N starting with BD

[Galaxy S 4 General] CountZer0:
Same here. Bd battery got swollen and started behaving as thread creators battery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nocturney:
It is quite outrageous to release a phone with about 6 months of battery life.

I've read on some comments on the SamMobile post about the issue, that some countries refuse to change the battery claiming it is user-related damage.

I believe it will take a while until Samsung will officially and globally admit the problem before they will start replacing batteries for every costumer complaining about battery life or performance. Remember it took a while with the damaged eMMC chip on their former flagship.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AkramSheiar:
I've the same problem in my battery, and yeah I checked it's S/N and found it starting with BD. My brother has the same phone but his battery is working fine and it's S/N starts with AA. So yes, I guess the problem is in the batteries which start with BD.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Solar_:
My battery S/N is also AA. Zero problems. It didn't swell and it performances great. I have the i9505 with stock 4.2.2 firmware (XXUDMHB). No root.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nikzDHD:
I had this problem about month and a half ago. Suddenly battery went flat. Would not boot up unless plugged into a charger, wouldn't charge, kept rebooting and shutting off when using simple things like YouTube. Sent it in for repair but o2 didn't state what was repaired. Anyways perhaps they put in a new battery but no issues since. Using the Anker battery and that's been great for me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pegasolabs:
Same problem here with Chinese BD series battery. It also ruined my display, now it's curved in the battery zone:
[Galaxy S 4 General] AkramSheiar:
Omg, that's horrible.. for one moment I thought my screen might get curved too but I told myself "NO WAY", now I see yours curved :s

Did you let the swollen battery inside your phone for a long time?
[Galaxy S 4 General] spamtrash:
Exactly as described - phone shuts down around 30%, cannot be turned on back without charger plugged in, front screen is slightly bent (pushed up) by swollen battery. So far, when I'll remove the battery, it returns to the original shape, but... but I wrote to Samsung - let's see if they will send me the replacement battery before I'll claim the screen damage caused by faulty equipment.

for any SAMSUNG manager/employee:

It is common term that your most recent phone (SGS3, now SGS4) is called flagship. Having in mind common issues like emmc, motherboard, battery, I have a tiny suggestion for you: Maybe, the Samsung company would promote use of the word: TITANIC, instead of FLAGSHIP? sounds far more appropriate, considering the quality of your last products.

30% of the faulty batteries? Really?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] AkramSheiar:
That's exactly what happened to my screen, when I removed the swollen battery it became normal again, but I dunno if it's 100% normal and no internal damage. So, I just wanna be sure that everything is normal inside and the screen is back flat again, because if the screen is 1% bent, i'll claim for another device as I still have my warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pegasolabs:
Yes, for the reason Samsung care told me that until my phone does not have symptoms I can't take it back for warranty. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S 4 General] HSNP:
I had the same problem! Just two months after I bought my device! Battery got fat and couldn't hold a charge, serial number started with BD, Samsung care center didn't have any s4 batteries so i had to buy it from another shop, i think it's unofficial battery because it said "cell made in korea assembled in china" but on my original battery just said "made in China" any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 General] colman1982:
Check if the NFC is working. If it don't work then you have an unofficial battery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pegasolabs:
After removing the battery, display looks only slightly better, but there is a permanent damage anyway. Today I sent the phone to Samsung centre.
[Galaxy S 4 General] HSNP:
It seems nfc isn't working but the battery itself is working very good it usually hold 24h with average usage.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tim182:
I also had a faulty battery, I9500. Broke after 3 months and was replaced by the Samsung service centre. First one was made in China, new one is from Korea. At first the charge didn't last then random reboots and drops in battery %. In the end it swelled up really bad. Fine with the new one
[Galaxy S 4 General] richard24:
My battery s/n starts with AA. Seems fine now. Although the phone gets a little bit too hot whenever I charge it. Should I be worried? Or is overheating normal during charging?
[Galaxy S 4 General] s.illes79:
my battery SN start with BD, after 2 months it's still ok.

are all BD batteries affected by this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] atilla88:
I had these problems with my battery too after 3 weeks.

I bought a new one from amazon and now everything is ok.

Do you guys think i could get a replacement for the old battery even if i already bought a new one?could i just send the battery for repair?
[Galaxy S 4 General] milan188:
My one only acted weird during the 3rd month and everything seemed normal up till then and within 1 day of noticing these problems the phone was soon unusable.

If your battery doesn't last a full day (5-6hr screen time) that could be the first sign of defects starting to appear

[Galaxy S 4 General] Tanis64:
In Germany it's not allowed to send defective Lithium Ion Batteries via DHL etc.

Call Samsung Service and ask for a replacement, also if they asks you to send back the battery don't do so (in a German Forum Andoid-Hilfe one member had posted an answer from DHL about this)

Dispose the battery over a Electronic Discounter like Media Markt.

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 General] atilla88:
Thank you for this great information.

So they will just send me a new one without checking the defect one?
[Galaxy S 4 General] maniaknl:
Hmm battery life on the SGS4 should be atleast 5-6 hours when using.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tanis64:
They should, they did it by a couple of the involved Forum users of android-hilfe.

I think Samsung is absolute aware of the problems with that batch (hopefully it's only one or a few batches) of the batteries.

So this is also much less expensive for Samsung as starting a official recall action, like some notebook manufacturer have to do in the past.

Ah ok sounds good to me will try it next week,im on vacation in denmark right now,will post if i have got one from sammy :)

Just checked my i9505 bought in May.

Battery S/N starts with YS1D

No problems here.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
So I've got another of the BD batch of batteries, and I've got the same problems:

Battery jumps from high charge (eg 80%) to very low (around 5%) on random occasions

Phone will turn off (even with a good amount of battery left) and fail to boot (boot loop) unless I plug in a charger

Battery is slightly swollen (not as bad as some that I've seen though!)

Generally bad battery life

It seems as if it's only batteries with the serial numbers beginning with "BD" that are affected, and it may not be all of the batch, but it seems like it's quite a common problem for this batch.

Luckily for me I've contacted the shop I bought it from (Amazon UK) and they're sending out a new handset which should arrive in two days. Can't fault their service!

(Posting this in both threads as it may be of use to people - Maybe the mods can merge the threads as they're both pretty much the same?)
[Galaxy S 4 General] TeeeJaay:
batteries that are clearly labeled "Made in China" are the ones affected

those with batteries labeled "Made in Japan. Assembled in China" is safe
[Galaxy S 4 General] coolbad:
I have the same problem GT-I9500 battery S/N: BD

guys Samsung is acknowledging the battery issue and it seems that they are offering a free replacement to the defective ones . we just need to wait and see if they are actually truthful or it s just another Samsung publicity bull**** .

[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
As the phones are generally under 6 months, it's down to the retailer to replace them (in the UK at least, not sure about other countries). I contacted Amazon yesterday, and the new phone was dispatched today. Skipped dealing with Samsung entirely! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
Looks like S4 has flexible display and we didn't know it :)) :victory:

Now, there is a thread full of people with their s4's getting they're SAMOLED cracked under the glass...

Now leaving jokes behind, if my phone would become like that i wouldn't keep it 1 minute more.

I would have the pictures done and take it back from where i bought it / samsung and get a new one. This kind of bull$hits it's unacceptable from a so called "FLAGSHIP".
[Galaxy S 4 General] pegasolabs:

Got it first :laugh:

Under the glass my display was ok, all curved elastically.

Guys I will be grateful for any help you can give me here.

I have a Lumia 900. I was receiving the notification of the latest update but didn't and never attempted to install it.

Last night it give a critical low battery warning and I connected it to the nokia lead and mains charger.

It was left over night to charge however this morning I found it in a boot loop.

Buttons on bottom light, then white screen, then NOKIA logo and back to black screen.

I can't turn it off, it just runs until out of power.

I managed to get it into the mode with phone and computer displayed and Zune connected, however I have no restore points or backups.

All help much appreciated

I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,

It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.

For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3

times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.

Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,

then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.

Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.

Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up

shooting all over the screen.

And sometime it will work perfectly!

I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so

I hard set after awhile it started again,

So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours

the problem was back.

Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a

loop that doesn't end.

I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?

I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get

any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!

It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.

Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] atrick-pay:
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] atrick-pay:
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)

put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!

I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,

I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be

one on the main board. :(

If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?

I have a ZEN ultrafone 701 HD (MTK 6589) device with HD screen

Things were going fine when this Fine day I got a bright idea to change ROM

I have a rooted Phone with working CWM, so went into recovery and cleared data/cache/dalvik cache,battery log etc

Then I did a epic goof up by clicking on the ROM file of a different device to install as ZIP from CWM . by the time i realized, it was too late

Now the phone boots up, shows logo and reboots,again and again. a previously working key combination to bring diagnostic mode is now not working

The phone starts up and reboots so fast the PC cannot detect the device in adb mode. perfect aint it ?
