From previous last two updates my wifi radio is not getting off, it's always on and consuming battery, anyone facing same problem?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abilash10:
Update to latest nh6 may it fixed and after upadting firmware do phone factory reset. .
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Actually i did updated to NH6, that's why i asked here if anyone else got into this or not?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] devjmi:
Good news, Call recorder is working fine with new update.
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abilash10:

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Well.. Good morning
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] dr.moh1976:
trick

during setting new rom after factory there's option google ask to search for wifi networks even when wifi is turned off

for better location and something like this..

if you tick this your wifi will keep working all time.

((:victory:(i use greenify for power saving)))
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
omg.. why I didn't think of this before.! thank you for the suggestion..:victory:

recent update on Samsung grand 2

Live wallpapers received in previous updates are no more there..

Added more application in multi window

S view updates. ..like redial option now available

This 123mb update has made the device unstable. ..
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
no it has a lot of stability...
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Yeaa games running a bit more smooth... [MENTION=5723121]Sanjuujosephh[/MENTION]... bro have u rooted j2..?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
Nah .... I won't

I will wait and see if the cfroot release the zip and if it does. ...I will then check if triangle away will be able to flash the counter or not ....
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Bro KNOX void value can't be reset again... don't know what's sammy is doing
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
Woah then I will wait ....
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Bro saw you on xda after a long time....

Bro have u heard grand 2 getting 4.4.4 update..? Is this true..? Did u saw that document.?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
I was banned for a week ✌

Nah we won't ! There r many devices for Samsung to worry about ! Our device will remain pending forever
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Banned..? But y.? And i no its very less chance for the update... but I think sammy may have release there mistake and to be compitent in market with moto g they are pushing updates..?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
Bcuz I literally spammed the whole Xda forum so they banned me for a week .... it was awesome [emoji111]
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
So now what about 4.4.4..? Are pushing updates so that grand 2 be compitent to moto e...? Lol...:p:D
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
I really don't think so ... Samsung has released many new phones like Alpha so they might give much importance to our
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Bro [MENTION=2900641]wassem[/MENTION]Alkurdi told that the change in boot animation... which now contains powered by andriod under grand 2 logo is a sign that sammy may realse 5.0.... he says its 25% possible...
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] WaseemAlkurdi:
As true as the iPhone 3G getting iOS 8.1.

We may, however, get Android 5.

Why the hell would Sammy upgrade the bootloader for?

Only evading root?

Not so with a mid-range that it doesn't care for. Probably so if you're talking about the S5 or the Note 3 or the damn Alpha ...

Raised the odds of getting 5.0 to 30%.

Of course, if the Snapdragon Note 3 gets it, chances are up to 40% we will (same architecture).

The change in the boot animation means a new bootloader.

I saw this sort of thing on a friend's S5 (I take peeks at it for comparing my mod to it).
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abilash10:
How about rooting??do it get root ??
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
upgrade is sure

Its for sure that sammy is trying to give an os upgrade but i think instead of 4.4.4....it should be thinking of android 5..... its confirmrd that this will be the last upgrade....sio may be they are going for smthng big in this comprtitive market ..... not sure but this point would be surely raised in their minds as moto is still providing 5 to its older devices....
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Yea i was thinking the same coz moto e which is 6k mobile is getting it and it has almost half of the specs that we have... but we can forget sammy makes lots of customise stuff that increases ram consumption
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
sammy should go for it

U r correct bro...... every friend can search for the leaked roadmaps of samsung and compare both phase 1 released sep and phase 2 release oct where galaxy s3 neo had been removed from list but our one is still there.... also s5 and note 4 are planned to be given android 5..... hence pont is that "powered by android " on boot screen surely have an issue with the latest android in the market where samsung needs to stand strong against its compititors .... means upgrade should be necessarily provided on devices like grand 2 which is still in the market
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Yea hope to see this happing and even with realse of android one... which has gaurntee updates for 2 years plus it has google name in it.... so if sammy doesn't give update... you could see a downfall and moto has increased its market share in last Q3...
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
Yes bro we r sure either 4.4.4 or 5..... but only one of it...... chances decreases for 5 if the rumour for grand 3 is true as sammy is surely gonna provide it with the latest version......moto e, moto g, droid mini...maxx...etc are low range devices getting 5 beside having low hardware compared to grand 2...... only have to keep patience..... if its kitkat 4.4.4 then we will get in the end of november or confirmed december but if its the 5 then the upgrade will be passed to next year.......good thing is that our device is in the list of updates :good::)
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
systems ctsbuse

Roadmaps for reference friends
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] grohitsurana:
the logo is mandate as per new google policy

hey guys don't get deviated & start hoping that our grand 2 will get 4.4.4 or 5 in coming time just by seeing powered by android logo on the splash screen when we start the phone ...its just mandated by google for every manufacture to show this logo in their handsets running by android os any handset which his still getting updates even the old ones with minor updates has been mandated by google to show the logo...just google it guys with the key word "powered by android " & you will get your answers...i hope we will get 4.4 or 5 update in near future but not this soon so chill guys.....
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Sanjuujosephh:
noway

i don't really think so guy ! i think they might release a small update after j2 and it will be the end of grand 2 !

we wont get a 4.4.4 or never lollipop
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] abilash10:
hope we get andriod L
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
Clarification

Yes bro u r r8....... powered by android is non other than branding and informing about the os of the device........powered by "STAMP" is to be done by all manufacturers who uses google softwares....... Hope for android lollipop (5) is very less but upgrade to 4.4.4 may come till end of the year as by the sources..... lets hope for the best......:good:

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] WaseemAlkurdi:
There's a retarded phone called the S3 Neo Duos that has the same Snapdragon 400 and 4.3 on launch. Believe it or not, it now runs 4.4.4 from Sammy.

My reference to the Powered by Android logo is that Sammy hasn't forgotten our phone yet. They still support it.
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
Yeah it was realsed for quite a long time now the only difference is the internal memory and screen size...
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rahul10:
BIG NEWZ...!!

No android 5.0 for galaxy grand 2... It has been omitted from the list says the resources.. hence it will end its journey on 4.4.4 the final build of KitKat...

[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PanTh€R:
Reason for losing lollipop upgrade

yea bro as many of us were even thinking the same which you told before the official declaration. The major reason for such is the release of GRAND 3 which samsung will release soon along wid iphone 6.......it will get lolipop and will succeed our handset in every aspect forcing us to stick to official 4.4.4........well 4.4.4 is a stable update and is satisfactory but we can't be able to enjoy the new material design by android 5. :(

check out this blog which guarantees to recover software issues with 4.4.4 update

http://www.justaboutphones.com/sams...date-resolve-issues-introduced-android-4-4-2/

Sad news is that grand 2 is omitted from the upgrade list of android 5.......hence android 4.4.4 is the last and final upgrade for our device.
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] WaseemAlkurdi:
I damn knew it, though we may not even get Android 4.4.4 (but it was confirmed anyway).

It would be possible to port Android L from the S5 mini the way the S5 Android 4.4.2 was ported.

The leak looks false, however.

False but logical.

Is there any difference between those models, on the modelid (CDMA versions), or is just different CID's and firmware/software ?

edit: AFAIK the Sprint is the same as the Verizon(according to gsmarena) but what about the HK version ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dc.wash95:
Pretty sure it's all the same hardware, just different software features. That's why with root you can flash "Harman-Kardon Audio" to your device, which actually DOES improve audio quality.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saud__19:
I am already in Saudi Arabia. and just purchased another LG G3. using the IMEI of my old G3 i was able to download the kdz file for middle east 10e amx. using the LG flash tool 2014 i can upgrade the firmware with no problems. but once my phone boots it restarts, then reverts back to 10e eur.

the reason why i need the middle east firmware is to choose lte option which i only have GSM / WCDMA on network mode. i know that i can have LTE through service menu but once my phone restarted it reverts back to GSM / WCDMA.

Any suggestion?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Hi all.

I'm looking to replace my Moto G 4G phone with something that has slightly bigger screen and better optics. I chose the Galaxy S4 & the Nexus 5. Specs-wise we all know the Nexus 5 wins hands down. But i want to talk about the latest 4.4.2/3 on the S4.

I would like to know of any improvements (speed, performance & photo quality wise) on the camera of the S4 and if the battery life has been improved as well.

I'm also a bit reluctant in the sense that bloateware seemingly still remains in the S4. Is Samsung tackling this? And what can i do to make the phone a bit more faster?

Please advice. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmankh10:
If u want simple speedy interface with latest updates then nexus 5 is ur device.

S4 wins in term of extra touchwiz features,camera,battery life nd display(as i prefer amoled over ips lcd) .

One can always flash custom aosp custom roms on s4.

In the end its ur own decision.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
AOSP ROMs for the S4 have lots of bugs usually involving the camera, video playback and sound quality. This was one of the main reasons I sold my S4 and got an N5, because I really dislike TouchWiz.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

I got about the same battery life on both. The S4's camera is arguably better in most conditions, except low-light where the N5's OIS gives it an advantage.

Samsung is causing the bloatware problem, but rooting and removing junk is possible. That could trip the Knox warranty bit if you aren't careful. Installing a custom ROM will definitely trip Knox.

The only thing you can do to make the S4 faster is run an AOSP ROM or custom kernel, but there are penalties (mentioned above).

You can't go wrong with the N5 unless the difference in camera performance or having an AMOLED screen is that important to you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainTrap:
the AMOLED screen is such a huge win for the S4 and i have yet to see a better camera on any other phone. However, the N5 OS is godly for purists. I have been researching for a week now how to flash an AOSP GPE rom on my S4 (att nc1) and the dev is just not there yet. There is a great thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2767026

with some really bright guys working it out but its still quite buggy. I am hoping to learn enough and flash this rom to my S4 and try to get the best of both worlds. IMO touchwiz is a gimmick, a day after i got the phone i turned off all the touchwiz features as i found them quite useless.

hope that helped
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
I used to swear by AMOLED screens. After I got the N5, I couldn't stand the bluish-green color cast of the S4 any longer, which put another nail in its coffin. I do miss the deeper blacks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainTrap:
you are really making me want an N5 now....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I do prefer stronger blacks, contrast & overall colours of the AMOLED so that's one vote for Galaxy S4. The battery life and capacity in the S4 is better than the N5 so that's two votes. The bloated Touchwiz i think is still better in terms of added features so that's three votes now. The camera has been a very contentious issue but in this respect "overall" the S4 will get my vote; i don;t do much night shots anyway.

I suppose there are always two sides of the coin when it comes to the UI bloateware. Yes its either you love it or hate it. Whenever i ring (or email) Samsung about my suggestions on performance, lessening bloateware, etc. i do wonder if they really listen to you. And i'm not into flashing ROMs or rooting and i still prefer the normal updates.

Will a "RAM optimisation" or "overclock" app help in increasing the speed & performance of my S4? Is there something in the Developer Options that i need to change or tick?

Please advice. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
I agree with you finally.

I get so annoyed with the blue tint after using my laptop and iPad.

I do think it has more to do with calibration however because the Tab 2 with a IPS has a blueish tint as well :/

And also I think movie mode makes the colours look wrong even though everyone says it looks more natural because they think they are experts and pro for stating Less saturated/grammar = more natural when in reality, the grammar looks wrong at least to be compared to other screens.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I have bought the Galaxy S4 (normal UK LTE version) and i like it. But again, these issue of bloateware is getting in my way, battery life down from fully charged (at 6am) to just 30% by 5pm on moderate use (basic checking emails, news, weather, downloading a newspaper mostly and not even playing games or watching videos) and slow performance. This is what i did so far.

I turned off:

Bluetooth

Wifi (when i'm out & about); Scan for nearby wifi networks turned off

GPS (70% of the time but my nature of work requires me to visit clients hence i need the GPS to look for their address but this is only around 1-2hrs max at any given day)

Auto-sync

Notifications (apart from BBC News, Instagram & Twitter)

NFC

Samsung own gimmicky motions & gestures

Wireless printing

Vibrate

S-voice

Installed the Snapdragon Battery Guru app

Power-Saving mode is Turned on

Brightness set to low (and not on Auto)

Set the all animations (from Developer Options) to the second lowest value

Installed an alternative lightweight(?) launcher like Nova.

Stopped all background tasks and Clear memory

The above tasks did helped a little but can't help notice still some performance issues (camera and some apps still loads at least 2 seconds which by today is slow), benchmarks show RAM & processor are seemingly under clocked.Compared to the Z1 Compact or Moto G 4G the general performance & smoothness of the UI is better than the S4. Is there anything else i can do?

Please help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Ahh.. battery life is an issue with all smartphones today and considering that your phone is used for navigation for one to two hours max, that is incredible considering that the bloody iPhone 5S won't make it it past half a day with normal usage with 3G so 11 hours @ 30% is damn good for a smartphone.

Z1 compact has a snapdragon 800 chip so that cannot be compared but as for the Moto G 4G, the reason why it runs a lot smoother is due to the near stock android it is running so the best thing you can do is to install a AOSP rom on your S4.

I suggest disabling pre-installed apps.

As for benchmarks, my stock S4 isn't under clocking unless if it's on power saving mode or overheating.
