[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Nickchapstick:
This is a great thread. I really love that you have brought this to attention cause I will place my phone far from my body and not use it unless I have an emergency not related to my Facebook posts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] makeshiftharmony:
I have been doing more research into this. And I'll be honest, it worked me more and more. My kids sleep with cell phone by there head, I charge mine and my wife's next to mine. I have started to make sure we all put our phones in airplane mode while we sleep. I don't know if there's fear mongering going on, but I'm fearful. The internet usually has conflicted articles, but on this subject it seems to be way, way one-sided toward cell damage and such. I love my cell phone and its many uses a whole lot and hate to know (think) it may be harming my family and me. Sorry about the long rant.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BigMcGuire:
From what I've read, the cellular antennas for the Note 3 are at the bottom of the phone. See linked image from anandtech: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/7376/Screen Shot 2013-09-30 at 3.39.26 PM_575px.png - from article: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7376/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review/7

I've always held most of my phones, while talking, from the bottom corners and resting the earpiece against my ear. Now with this phone I try to hold it from the top, near my head, and let the bottom part curve outward - about 3-4cm from my mouth.

So if anything with the Note 3 we're radiating our lips? And those of us who hold our phone from the bottom - our fingers.

Just having our cellphones 20mm (2cm) further from our bodies halves the SAR radiation. Then is it safe to assume that using this phone is better than most because the cellular antenna is located at the bottom of the phone which sits (at least for me 3-4cm from my face). So I'm getting 4x less radiation than the listed .9 rating?

That said, I rarely use this phone for calling, so during WiFi usage (which is when I'm using it mostly) my hands are at the bottom - maybe 2-3cm from the WiFi radio - and I'm not sure if WiFi is as harmful or not vs cellular?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lmike6453:
Great information, thanks for sharing this. When Samsung performs their tests, they test Head and Body SAR at "normal operating position" which I would assume is the device hugging your cheek. It's really tough to gauge the amount of radiation deduction from keeping it further from your head, but is logical to assume that it is much, much less radiation by keeping it a few CM away from your face...and I would say that this is good practice to not have to worry and relax if you do indeed do that.

WiFi is a whole other debatable topic, where the debate is that it is hurting children especially since their skulls are thinner while it is developing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
Moderator clearly didn't agree with my comment earlier, so decided to censor it. No curse words, was on topic... I think this is nonsense, the subject of this propaganda post in general. If you think your cell phone is going to kill you, maybe it was your time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GuestK00143:
Good advice here, I'd rather be safe than sorry if possible. This whole post has made me think differently on how I use my phone. Thanks for the info.

[Q] First ROM install running into "Emergency Calls Only" or "No Service"

I apologize if this in the wrong section. I have recently upgraded stock Galaxy SIII (SGH-1747M) to Liquid Smooth (LS-KK-v3.0-2014-02-09-d2lte.zip) The phone was rooted and Clockwork MOD touch restore was installed. The Rom install went fine after I solved a few problems (SD card wasn't formatted to FAT32, was using an older restore at first and it error-ed out the liquid smooth install). It was new so I was going through all the settings not changing anything just looking and getting familiar with it. After I got out of the settings I was faced with Emergency Calls Only. I searched google and this forum and what I found it suggested that I go into Settings-> Wireless & Networks-> More-> Mobile Settings-> CMDA Subscription and make sure it is set to RUM/SIM and not NV. I go in NV was selected and selected RUM/SIM it goes out of the menu I go back in and NV is selected again even tried rebooting the phone and doing it same thing, I made sure network was set to automatic and not home only and that the ACN information was correct. It seems no matter what I do I can't select this menu item and have it stay and only way to get service back is to reinstall and not go into this section of the settings. In total I have probably re-installed this ROM 3 or 4 times plus the original install. I need this phone for work and can't have it going in Emergency Calls Only or No Service and having to re-install it to get service back is getting tiresome. I also installed this ROM on my girlfriends phone and she has gone into this menu and looked around with no issues, she is on the same liquid smooth and the initial rom install. The phones are exactly the same other then the color and the carrier which supplies service to the phones. My carrier is Virgin Mobile (Canada) and hers is Fido. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time in advance on this issue.

Updated to stock 4.4.2 India ROM. Battery life is so far so good. 4% drop over-night. Shall post updated after EOD. The Android system is running because of the com.sec.sviewcover application. Think it is triggering the sensor without the cover and the phone is searching for it. If we can freeze it then hopefully the drain can be restricted.

When i was on Omega ROM my battery was draining as hell, in 1 night like 20%, now i'm trying Echo, during night seems fine with only 1% lose, but when i'm starting using apps like whatsapp the battery goes down so fast ._. (with Power saving, geenify, du battery etc..) It's seems like a ROM problem or a Kernel problem.

Any suggestions about the best Kernel or ROM?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo9393:
10% 40Mn means 15% per hour that is a 100 % CPU throttle sign. you device may be a bit warm?

You may have an application turning in background or a system service not stopped like "the well known mediaserver" .

Install a wakelock tracker to see whats happens. (check at play store)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amagdy81:
I tried a wakelock tracker called "wakelock detector" and the main CPU waker was the exchange service. What I also did was remove the SD card and restarted the phone without it then put it, I got 31% charge after 12h 25m which is a huge difference and again the main draining app was the android system and the second was the screen, any idea regarding this android system draining power????
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo9393:
If this is linked to your SD it can be because exchange API is seeking in loop for data that are not any more reachable because of kk 4.

Best is to google for more detail " wake lock exchange battery drain" and learn from that.

Good hunting.

Try using Wanamlite lastest version for i9500, cuz I don't know which is it, I have i9505. Then download SetCPU for Root Users, and make up profiles for when your screen is off, screen on, charging and in call. I set my max cpu for screen off at 384Mhz powersave/noop, then set for screen on 384 min and 1242 max ondemand/cfq for charging also set like screen off only move the max to 484mhz and for in call use 384mhz min and around 484mhz max with powersave/noop :) With that my android system and android OS use up less battery cuz the processor stays underclocked after screen lock and it goes into deep sleep. And if I may say I don't see any difference in terms of performance for your daily usage like messaging,phoning,internet browsing,youtube,facebook and such. If you play games you may have some less performance, I don't know since I don't play games on my phone. Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psycho_M:
I've been searching for a solution for a week now and still no luck. I've done all the suggestions I've read by now. Checked the battery if it's bulged/swelling and it's all good. Factory reset, clear cache/wipe cache, pull out battery, install Battery Doctor, GSam Battery Monitor, power saving mode, turn off all Google apps, GPS, sync, sensors etc. I'm on KitKat 4.4.2 almost a week now, and my phone model is Galaxy S4 I9505.

When the phone is sleeping it's draining something like 1% per hour which is acceptable by me (even though last night before I went to sleep the battery was at 97% and when I woke up it still was on 97% wtf?). But when I use the phone (with auto brightness on, sometimes I manually reduce it) it drains the battery pretty fast. Especially when I'm on the internet (whether it's Facebook or just randomly browsing the net) the battery gets eaten, literally. It drains like 1% per 2 minutes. I can barely get 3h20min screen time on a fully charged battery. From what I've heard it should at least get 5-6 hours of screen time on a fully charged battery (with all the useless crap turned off). When I use the camera it's similar, battery gets drained 1% per 2-3 minutes or sometimes faster. So I basically have to recharge the phone in the middle of the day if I'm using it for internet browsing or capturing pictures/recording.

I've uploaded some screenshots, check them out and give me a suggestion or a solution, because as a newbie I'm getting frustrated with these kind of things. Before this phone I had the Galaxy S2 I9100 and it's battery life was something like 5 hours of browsing the internet which is far better than the S4 I'm using now.

Sorry for the links the system doesn't let me post links as a new user of the forums (duh) :/

I've taken a while back. The wallpaper keeps scrolling from left to right

and vice versa. Is there a way to disable this wallpaper scrolling so that

I can have a wallpaper thats the same on all homescreens? I've looked

overlooking, but can someone please tell me if there's a way?
