[Galaxy S 4 General] mrbish:
Just started to develop battery problems over the last few weeks, almost 5 months old now.

Battery life is getting worse and worse, i'm starting to notice the phone dying in my pocket now when i'm sure i have about 20-40% battery life left. Wont turn back on unless i reconnect to a charger. Sometimes it happens when i'm using it, no low battery warning, just switches off and refuses to boot back up.

Not sure if i have a swollen battery though, it's a BD serial number on there and there is a bulge on the rear face of the battery near the bottom, but i'm not sure if that's the NFC chip inside or actually battery swelling. My nearest repair centre is over 20 miles away so it's not really worth me travelling there to get the battery replaced.
[Galaxy S 4 General] choccy31:
I called that number above (uk Samsung) they would not sed anything out just kept insisting I go to a service centre even though closest is 25 miles away.

Useless.
[Galaxy S 4 General] k1000716:
Be grateful there is one in your country at all. I had to wait two weeks while my phone was sent awayThe to a repair agent, tested (!), had the battery replaced and was then returned.
[Galaxy S 4 General] choccy31:
I don't understand why they want the poxy phone. Samsung were like you can send your phone to us for testing which wil ltake approx 12 days.

They know full well the batteries are dodgy so they should simply send a replacement battery!
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrbish:
My battery is swelling quite rapidly since my battery problems started last week, im worried that the back cover is putting too much pressure on the whole thing so i've left it off for now, using a rubber case on the back. Ordered a new Anker battery with NFC as they were £10, but i still want to get the battery replaced, no way i'm sending the phone off for something that's a known problem with the battery.

Might just get them to send me the mail packet and just send them the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] braincrack82:
I'm from Egypt

having the same battery problem since i started flashing 4.3 firmwares . At first I thought it's something with 4.3 firmwares so I downgraded to 4.2.2 south african firmware but the issue persists

I've seen this thread and yeah my battery is swollen and its serial number starts with BD so I guess it is faulty

called the samsung service center they asked me to head to the center with the proof of purchase and the warranty certificate

I believe this visit will be useless because my warranty is void because of the so called bloody knox.
[Galaxy S 4 General] odlabu:
Lucky I have no problems with my battery atm
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrbish:
I doubt they will check anything with the firmware or notice that any software counter has been triggered, they will probably see that the phone matches the receipt etc and just hand over the replacement battery.

I think it stinks that Samsung are telling people to turn up at a service centre or send the whole phone away just to get a replacement battery, they are fully aware that these batteries are faulty and should be sending out replacements. They probably know that most people who discover the problem wont bother and just purchase a replacement battery (like i have done). I went to my phone carrier store today (O2) and they said i will indeed have to send the phone away, they offered to do this for me but warned that i could be without my phone for 7+ days, they could see the battery was faulty but insisted that Samsung need to have everything sent back. It's just not worth the hassle.
[Galaxy S 4 General] colman1982:
Same in Norway. You need to send the phone to service and be without it for 2 - 3 weeks. You buy the top model and this is what they call service. Guess it's time to look for another brand next time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] s.illes79:
just back from the service center (15 min walk from work :) )

they swapped the battery, from a BD to an AA one.

There were quite a few people with same issue, some of them over 6 month period and they had to pay.
[Galaxy S 4 General] recipientsuperior:
Way back in September, after reading about this, I checked my then 2-month-old phone's battery. Lo and behold, it was a partly swollen BD battery. So I promptly turned it in to my cellular provider, which immediately agreed to replace the battery free of charge, but it would take 1 month+ (!) to get the replacement and they would contact me as soon as it came in.

Fast forward 2 months later, I still hadn't gotten a call, so I decided to drop by the service center and ask about it. Turns out the battery was already there for god knows how long and nobody bothered to contact me about it.

So for any other Globe Philipiines subscribers out there with defective S4 batteries, 1) globe will replace the battery free of charge, and 2) they WILL take their sweet time doing it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] henrik.dk:
I am also back from service center. 5 minutes drive from work.

get it replaced. also bd to aa. The swollen battery is evident compared to the normal one.

I am over 6 month period, and replaced for free.

It is defected battery, they ought not to charge.

it is a wide known issue, during the past two weeks, 20 got replaced due to swollen battery in one service center.

For this who feel lucky, check your battery batch number. If it is BD, be ware of the random reboot and boot loop.

I was caught even after 6 month.

At the beginning, I thought it is a custom rom issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] CalInTheZone:
They did not even want to see a recite where I got mine changed. Just showed the guy behind the counter the battery and he went into the back came out with a new one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gusm41:
s4

my wife and i both have the s4 with the bd swollen battery service centre closed till January.
[Galaxy S 4 General] s.illes79:
in my case it was a bit over complicated and ridiculous process:

1. walk into service center

2. receptionist removed battery and confirm it was swollen and will be swapped for free. all good so far ...

3. but wait for it ... she removed simcad and sd card, put back battery, logs a call with an engineer to swap battery, 20 minute latter i got new battery install. I was like WAT, u really need an engineer to swap battery, u already removed it.... ok whatever.
[Galaxy S 4 General] braulio_holtz:
S4 stopped charging and noticed a high battery consumption (after carrying)

I went to Samsung Service, left there with the invoice

I sent email pro technician to expedite delivery of the unit and explaining in more detail the problem, explaining the recall

Battery and the connector (board) was replaced, not not turned on my phone (with root and custom ROM). Just turned my phone on technical assistance and saw the battery consumption, just like when I took the assistance.

Current battery made ​​in Korea

I did not see where it was manufactured the old battery, but is actually another battery
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyanoviper:
I have 2 different n7 2013, one of them has a Ce, made in china and do not put in the trash logo below the little logo on the back and one does not. Is something wrong with that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
Is it just a sticker?

Also are they from different manufacturing months (on the box if you still have them)?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyanoviper:
They are both 07 2013, both bought in north america, and it's printed, not a Sticker.

More precisely: both bought in the United states.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dkryder:
mine says made in china 2013.7 on the box, but nothing on the unit itself.

edit: ok i looked again and it is on mine, had to use a light and get a look from an angle.

i also noticed that the box says "perchlorate material", which some u.s. states classify

as a hazardous waste. hence, i assume, the trash warning.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
It's normal, never noticed it on mine until closer inspection plus the fact I put a case on pretty much straight away but it's there under the 'ASUS' branding only fainter than the one shown below.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rocksyjj:
The ones with the print on back seems to be used alot from reviews from companys could be a demo one not to sure

used google images found a few and it was like from electronic sites reviews

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2295135/google-nexus-7-2013-review

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2013/10/14/google-nexus-7-2013-edition-review/

strange not seen this at retail level pictures
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
Most of the images on Google of the Nexus 7 will be from specific site reviews, not many individual buyers will put up high res images of their unit.

Still you could be onto something but I thought electronic devices had to display that info anyway, the original Nexus 7 had it displayed as a sticker due to the soft touch material back.

Also I would thought it'd be the other way round having info for retail & not bothering for demo units etc.

Or maybe just they ran out of stamping ink or forgot with some units?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AlderCass:
Both my Nexus 7 2013 and my Nexus 4 have that on the back. I wasn't aware any units were sold without it, thought it was a legal thing (the same info is normally under the back cover of phones, but neither of these devices have removable backs)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rocksyjj:
Strange how some have em and some dont

it could be to do with shipping aswell but strange

its from same place
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyanoviper:
AlderCass' picture shows exactly what i mean. The unit i am writing from now doea not have that. both were warehouse used - like new versions from amazon by the way.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Mine don't have them. Wonder if these correlate to touchscreen issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] overrule:
I have a 9.2013 one, bought in portugal and it has the printed thing, it looks horrible btw. they could have made a sticker like the last model.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] and2nckiko:
Mine dont have them also..i dont have issue on touchscreen..i havent installed my ota..still running jwr66n..im afraid it may cause some issue if i install it..what do you think?..my nexus 7.2 is july batch..been using it for 3 months now without issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I would just sit back and wait for KitKat. Mine was perfect till it updated. I have since been able to fix it with sfhubs fix. There is nothing major to gain by updating

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AlderCass:
This might shed some like on the whole thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Yea DON'T UPDATE it.

You could probably install a custom rom though to get newer versions that don't include the updated touchscreen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyanoviper:
as far as i can tell, both of my units have little to no touchscreen issues. little enough for me not do anything.

the version without the ce logo runs paranoid android rc 2.99

the version with the logo runs stock android 4.3 (ota update installed)

abut the ce marking thing: that means the one with ce marking could have been sold in europe to. Then I still wonder why they bother to make 2 different back cases.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellevsoft:
Hi,

We're developing an app called Gmail Unread Counter : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ellevsoft.gmailunreadfree

It's a very simple app(widget) that shows unread email counters.

One of my user says it doesn't update on GS4 Active. (When email arrives badge number doesn't update right away).

He's using with no custom ROM, not rooted, no launcher, no app management app(that kills other apps) running.

Could it be GS4 Active bug?

We don't have the device so could anyone help?

Thank you.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changt34x:
I was just wondering whether you guys have experienced this or not.

When I connect to Wifi networks (generally only when I am in a basement or area with poor 3G/LTE connection), I always disable mobile data as well. Coming from the Note 2, this would also disable the 3G CDMA/LTE radio and just leave the 1X connection because it needs no more than that for calls and messages. Now it keeps the 3G/LTE radios on searching or trying to hold a very poor signal, completely killing my battery (8-10% an hour).

Are there any ways to turn off the data radio? I already tried Phone Info (used on Note 2 to force 3G) but I don't think it can force 1x only.

Just a quick suggestion for the future: it's courteous to use an informative subject line when you post, so readers who scan through the forum's list of threads can tell at a glance whether they're interested in clicking on your post.

Since this is a forum for questions about the AT&T Note 3, the subject line "Question about At&t Galaxy Note 3" tells us nothing we didn't already know. A useful subject line would be something like "Why does my phone vibrate when it's touched?".

What Rom and mods are you using? That looks like what a Samsung UI search looks like.

Did you recently install a Mod?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickmage:
Stock rom. I just noticed I lost the ability to theme individual icons. Instead of the option to name and change icon, it just picks it up and I have option to delete or show info. Maybe my launcher is gone? I had x posed with g2 settings installed but I uninstalled them. Would an option to select theme just disappear?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickmage:
A theme option should be here right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
Yes, there should be an option at the top. Something tells me that a theme you tried to install conflicted with the stock rom that might have not been compatible.

If youve added any mods or themes I would freeze or remove them in titanium backup and restart and see if that fixes the issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickmage:
Most of my theme icons came back except the apps icon after few reboots. Does titanium detect and let me remove themes even if my option to theme is gone?
