[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munier1994:
Hello,

About a month ago I had the opportunity to renew my mobile subscription. After 2 years of enjoying Samsung Galaxy S2 I decided to go for the new galaxy S5. So I got the phone and everything was fine for the first few weeks. Got use to the phone real quickly but had only one major issue. Every time I loaded up heavy graphical apps like asphalt 8 I got a really annoying and weird pixel rendering all over the screen. I have tried googleing my issue multiple times and have looked on many forms but couldn't quite find anyone with the same issue as I have been having.

There are 2 screen shots of asphalt 8 and a TV streaming app.

The bug also appears when i use the dual camera option.

I really like the new S5 and most of my other apps run smoothly on it. My question is has any one of you have or had this issue? Is it a software bug and should i not worry too much about it? I really hope some body can help me with this issue.

My carrier is T-Mobile in The Netherlands.

Yours sincerely.

M. Stuart
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
Since you mentioned that most of the apps run correctly, I would assume that your phone is acting funny only to a specific type of game engine or a specific type of code.

I would guess that it is not hardware related since you do not experience this problem on other apps.

Have you considered a factory reset to determine whether the bug persists?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopat:
Those could be artifacts. Does the phone get hot when that "bug" shows up?

I think it is a hardware issue. Smart phones are like mini computer. Computers show artifact on the monitor if the video card is heavily burdened caused by overclocking or just a sign that the video card is breaking down.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munier1994:
Heat

My phone does get a little hot when i'm playing the game. Its really weird. One day i had the game run completely smooth for a wile but then to back to the pixelated state in seconds. Oke i tried the next things: Usualy i have my phone in a flip case. After pulling the phone out. The pixels appeard only on the start screen of the game (asphalt 8) and some light flikker once in a wile.

Didn't know that it would be that big of an issue. The pixelation is still in the other apps. Now i'm wondering should i go to Samsung and ask them if the can relace my phone or do i have to live with it like this for the next 2 years.

Anyways thanks for the advice

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
How did you get watch styler to work after the upgrade? I also confronted Samsung about the lack of apps for Gear 1 owners now running Tizen (14 available for me), and they said that unfortunately only a few Gear 2 apps are currently compatible for Gear 1 owners- even though internal specs of the 2 watches are nearly identical (not to mention OS is the same).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] forshaw:
goto gear manager

goto Samsung apps

click the 3 dots for the menu, then purchased

update watchstyler

that's how it works for me

im running Nordic NEE 2.2

my Samsung apps has not even got any catagrys for me
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] forshaw:
found the solution to my proble, I uninstalled gear manager

then installed the updated gear manager

bingo ive got apps now

but no watchstyler, and can not install watch styler

poo
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Same thing for me. And using the 3 dot method to find watchstyler comes up with nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] forshaw:
first time I installed tizen,it asked me to restore, I restored and everything worked good, ,just no apps in Samsung app store

watch styler worked and it was the last opion in clocks

it worked with all my rolex watches, analogs, I never tried digital ones before

then I found someone else had the no apps problem, I uninstalled gear manager, then installed the new version....then it told me it will restore my watch to factory settings, it did it,and then I lost everything

watchstyler everything

but now im thinking in the next few weeks there will be a watchstyler for tizen
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
That makes sense since I was in the process of installing a fresh ROM on my S4 at the time also and started out completely new with BT pairing to the newly flashed Tizen Gear and let it download Gear Manager from there.

Oh well, goodbye Watchstyler for now. :crying:

Hi guys...

This is app you gotta have on your TS.

We have only 600mAh battery and every % is more than important.

This app will scan cell towers and will learn when to enable and when to disable wifi to save battery...Awesome idea...

Here's the link to original thread where you'll get all info.

Don't forget to say (press) tnx...

For all XDA (registered) users app is free but if you can, support dev and donate.

Hey,

Same approach (scanning cell towers) is used to set locations by Llama application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama) and you can configure A LOT with it (as location base tasker). So maybe checi this out as well :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dsebbs:
Hi all,

So I'm getting a lot of battery drain on my S5. I unplugged the phone this morning at 5 AM (hungover LOL) and went back to bed to wake up at 12 PM with about 40% drain. This is my fifth Android and I don't recall this ever being so bad. Especially considering this phone (and battery) are only three weeks old. Could it be manufacturer defect on the battery???

Here is the Android Battery display as well as "Battery Widget Reborn" stats. I'm running BatteryGuru too.

I have no idea why Weatherbug or Youtube or Sirius XM are SO HIGH.... considering I never opened either app. Actually just installed Sirius XM seeing as I haven't used it.

Any thoughts of what else I should look into?

I've turned as much bloatware "off" as I could too.

Thanks,

dsebs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Dude, use Ultra Power Saving Mode when you're not using your phone. It will make a huge difference. With my phone just seating there over night, as in about 6 to 8 hours, it will loose no more than one percent. With some txts coming through, it will loose no more than 5 percent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
There's a good possibility that one of the apps you have installed is keeping your device awake and not letting the processor go to sleep. Hence, your battery life decreases at a faster rate. Go to Settings > General > Battery, then press the battery graph to get details. You will want to pay attention to the "Awake" part. If there is a solid blue line, it means something on your phone is not letting it go into idle sleep, which is the primary reason for battery drain.

Weatherbug could be set to detect your location or update the temperature way too often. I would look through the options and try to scale it back a bit. Once an hour for location and temperature update is usually fine.

Sirius XM could also be keeping your device awake. That's a large % usage for something you claim to not have opened or used yet.

I would uninstall both of these applications first and then evaluate your battery life and "Awake" reading. If the problem is resolved, then add each app back one at a time, making sure to start the app and go through the options to optimize it, and then re-evaluate your battery life and "Awake" reading again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dsebbs:
Thanks...

I've actually Turned Off YouTube and so far it seems much better. Getting more than two mins additional per percentage change. I will keep evaluating.

Anyone else had any issues with You Tube?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
I'm not sure I'd agree with YouTube being the culprit, as it doesn't do any background tasks at all. It's probably safe to turn this app back on. More often than not, "Awake" and battery issues are caused by third-party apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dsebbs:
Thanks for the tips.

I'm going to follow your first idea tomorrow AM on a 100% charge.

I'm going to turn back on YouTube and uninstall both Weatherbug & XM and let's get a true baseline.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlenm:
I lose about 1% per hour on idle, if I turn on powersave its about half of that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dsebbs:
Must be nice. Lost 17% in 2 hours. Screen use at 4%.

Do I need to return this thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlenm:
Has to be a rogue app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dsebbs:
Time for a clean wipe it's sounding like?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlenm:
Install your apps one at a time and see which one causes issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] VashTS:
I had this issue 1 time with youtube being the culprit. it was stuck open. once i killed all running apps, the battery drain went back to normal.

its rare but its youtube.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
Not really needed! Mine, without any power savings on, with 6 emails accounts and FB and whatsapp on, 4G LTE/WiFi on 100% of time, barely loses 2-3% overnight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rumbleweed:
Battery life went to hell suddenly. A little investigation shows WiFi never turns off and seems to scan for networks every 3-5 seconds. I have all the options under advanced in wifi unchecked. This has only happened in last few days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
There should be one more option in settings that allows to check for WiFi networks even when WiFi is turned off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rumbleweed:
That is shut off as well. Even turned on then back off just to make sure. problem is all the crap that google updates/changes even though you have updates etc turned off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
I am clueless about your issue now. I'm attaching the normal drain I see over night. See the status bar for incoming messages/mails, n the number of times phone was awake while I was sleeping, n see the battery line. I lost like 2-3% overnight from like around 1.30 am until 8 am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rumbleweed:
Removed a few unwanted Google and Samsung apps and shutdown and restart, Now back to 3-4 days on stand by. Guess I will just have to do this periodically as updates turn stuff back on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
I solved this by turning auto update off, in Samsung store too.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini I9190 (8GB) with the Official Android 4.2.2 installed (therefor unrooted). I'm looking for a Samsung S5 or HTC Sense 5 rom for my phone that is stable. I found a few for the S3 and S4 but none for my phone. Please help me.

Thank you in advance and I apologise if this is in the wrong section or if I didn't give enough info. If more info is needed I'll add it.

How can i updated my N7100 in India, is kit kat ofecially launched in India
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusPRIME:
Go to sammobile.com & search for kitkat firmware for India.

Don't upgrade directly to kitkat if you are not on JB 4.3.

First upgrade to jelly bean 4.3 & then update safely to 4.4.2

# Note : Don't forget to backup EFS before flashing/doing anything. its your golden key in case of emergency.

& also backup your current MODEM(optional) from recovery.

Hi all,

MDA Vario via T-Mobile receives emails fine over POP3 (well, apart from loads of spam).

Went to Madeira for two weeks very recently... downloaded emails were header only, with the message 'content will dowloaded at next connection' (though it never was). I made sure the 'download header and content' setting was witched on, but this continued to happen. Now I'm back in Blighty emails download fully as expected.

Anyone know why this should happen? Do I need to register with T-Mobilr for international roaming? I'm starting to worry as I go to Hong Kong on Monday and need to to be able to read the full email!

Grateful for advice,

HB

I have posted it on another thread but no luck so I will post a new thread. I have tf201. Its an awesome device (aside from the week wifi signal) and I have been happily draining its battery for the last 2.5 years. However the time has come to move to a custom rom. Asus abandoned the device for no reason and things are starting to slow down and its just sad. So I am thinking of taking the big step for rooting and going to a custom Rom in order to restore the glory of this awesome device. I searched and I have concluded that perhaps the best solution is the SlimKat rom but here things get tricky. Most of the guides I have seen mention that though its a TF300 rom it is compatible with TF201 but the process only mentions guidelines for TF300 users.

So I need help and I am sure there are a couple of people out there in the same need. I am on a stock version of 4.1.1 with a 10.4.2.18 kernel. Can anyone provide a full process for doing the upgrade. And I mean a full process like rooting, installing twrp , upgrading kernel and etc. I know most people post links saying go there and you will find what u need but when a thread is 100 pages its like searching a needle in a haystack and I really don't want to brick my device doing something, someone suggested and 10 pages later it was discovered that he was wrong and I missed it.

I know its a lot of asking but for someone who is fairly knowledgeable with android with the device I am sure that devoting a little time for people who just started experimenting with android development will do a lot of good for setting some good foundation for them to go on and one day give back to the community.

Thank you in advance.
