S4 Wont Turn On

Im on MDK still from day one. Only problem is my phone stopped working out of the blue a few weeks back. I have since jumped to he Note, but would like to revive my S4. Basically, when I can get it to look like it is turning on, is will show the samsung bootscreen and then turn off. I can only get htis far when I pull the battery and replace. Otherwise, I cant get any further. I have multiple batteries plus a wall charger, so I know its not batteries. It wont go into stock or custom recovery as well. The one thing people elsewhere have brought up is the power button issue. Cleaning of or replacing of. I have gutted my phone a couple of times in hopes it will fire back up magically. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions?

Same thing happened to me a couple months ago. Then mysteriously appeared again today. A little trick to get in, after reinserting battery tap the power button repeatedly. My phone will boot up. I recommend a while and clean flash.

I thought I was going to have to go s5 or note4 but still not ready to lose my s4 32gb

Please let me know if it worked or if you find the cause.

Cool. I'm going to wait a bit though since 5.0.0 was just released for the gs4 gpe edition. I may have to go back to LG at this rate. I really do like that LG G3. It feels much better in the hand compared to my Galaxy S4. They just don't market like Samsung. TouchWiz is just horrendous to use

You don't have to lose your unlimited data. Just buy whatever phone you want straight out without upgrading and you keep your current plan. It's expensive but worth it my opinion.

I have been playing allot of games on my G3 and maxing the graphics settings to the max. I have had no frame rate issues on ultra setting with the most demanding games on the play store. Just for info, I play Dead Trigger 2, Riptide GP 2, Shadowgun, and other high end 3D games. I also play psp games upscaled to native resolution and most games play at full speed. Even God Of War. That is awesome.

I have yet to see the snapdragon 801 get bottlenecked by the 2k display playing even the highest level 3D games. Also the soc rarely throttles and I notice that the cpu cores do not all get utilized which tells me the 801 is more than adequate.

How about you guys? You can talk about anything. The thread is not centered around gaming. Thats just the most demanding thing I do on my phone. ?

[G3 General] 4ndroid99:
I've noticed heavy throttling when I play games while the device is charging, which is understandable because the battery get quite hot while it charges.
[G3 General] helikido:
Yeah when i play demanding games like dead trigger, after 10 minutes the cpu throttles to 1.5ghz max. That is only while charging. But no lag happens still. Besides it has to with 2 amps of current flowing in.

Well, about that time again. Had my ATT S4 for a year, and I had good and bad to say about it..

Hated not being able to get a bootloader unlock for it, being stuck on Touchwiz for a very long time gets irritating..

I have had a long list of phones since android came to fruition. I started with the G1 and never looked back. Hated apple and all they stood for and never wanted an iPhone, like most of us.

But its time for an upgrade and unfortunately AT&T doesn't have much to offer at this point in time. Just about the only phone worth getting with android has to be this phone right here, the G3. Ive never owned a LG phone, stuck with HTC until they burned the bridge, had the S4, and now I'm here.

My question, I suppose, is should I just get another android.. or maybe try that iPhone that everyone and their cousin has? I can't imagine going from android to Crapple.. but maybe it's a good change for a year? I hear mixed reviews about the LG OS, and it doesn't look too too unflattering. But it doesn't make me excited to get the phone, even with the fantastic hardware.

Can anyone here who has had the phone long enough to actually get used to daily life with it keep me grounded in the world of Android?

How is the battery life with the 3000mAh battery? How does the phone respond with the LG OS? How does the camera fare?

Irk.. I so don't want an iPhone but I don't want to be stuck in the same position I was with the S4, on a crap OS with nowhere to go, frustrated with myself for getting what I thought was a fantastic phone. I just want to be happy with my next phone. Cause Samsung effed that one up my last go round.

Cheers....

[G3 General] shook187:
You're asking a bunch of questions that can all be answered with the many, many threads around here and by doing your own research.
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I guess I'm just looking for one answer:

Do you think you'd be happier with another flagship device?

I'm reading through all the threads, but it's the usual, bickering and sifting through it all for one or two good posts..
[G3 General] helikido:
Instead of crying answer his questions. He obviously did some research.

Anyways @OP

The phone is pretty good. The battery life will be better than the s4. The performance will be much better than the s4. The design is awesome.

The LG UI is very nice. Its simple and erogomic and does not look childish. It is also more functional with allot let bloat and gimmics. The phone feels really nice. The display is beyond sharp. Impossible to spot a pixel. The brightness is very good and the best part is that you get a 5.5 inch screen in a phone sized simarly to the S4. Its awesome. I had samsung for 4 years, will never look back. Its a nice new experience. Plus you get 3gb ram and 32gb storage standard. [emoji41]
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Thank you for your response. I'm leaning toward the G3. Might hold my tongue for a week or two, so if I like it I can keep it, or return it in time to get the new iPhone on September 9th..

Or I might love the phone. Hoping I do. :good:
[G3 General] drock212:
I personally love it. I too came from the S4 to the G3. The battery life is beyond anything I could of imagined (given I am rooted and have made cpu tweaks and removed AT&T bloat along with lg apps I'd never use). Bootloader unlock for this phone is looking very promising so hopefully that'll come soon (although an exploit has been shown that could possibly work on the S4 so I'd keep that one around for awhile longer if I were you). I didn't like the LG launcher at all so I switched to nova but then again I always use nova even if I'm on CM or AOKP. I made the switch to this phone purely for the specs not expecting to like the large size or anything else about it that much but I do love it. It won me over. Build quality, camera, screen res, battery life, again didn't expect to like it anywhere near as much as I do. I'd even go as far as saying I don't need bootloader unlock as I'm getting so much of what I want and need with stock firmware. One last word; don't switch to iphone. You won't like it, and you'll quickly notice its not even remotely capable of doing what you're used to easily doing on your android devices. For me iphones are nothing more than your pc desktop full of shortcut icons to apps that you feel are mostly useless. These are all my opinions of course and I don't treat them as facts nor do I expect anyone else to. And everyone's experience with their device is their own. Hope this helps you out on your decision.

Ps once Android L releases this phone is gonna be beyond what it is now and if/when we get bootloader unlock custom ROMs based off L are really gonna shine (especially CM).
[G3 General] helikido:
I think you will regret getting an iphone after having an Android phone. It will feel a bit locked down. Like someone put you in a cage.
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Ive got to say, this has been a helpful reply. And exactly where I am coming from. Thank you. Will be getting this phone tomorrow :)
[G3 General] drock212:
Glad I could help. I'm gonna see if this weekend I have some time to put a thread together listing everything I've modded to get the performance that I get as well as what I've don't to try and squeeze as much battery life as possible so definitely look for that.
[G3 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Will definitely look for that. My warranty exchange will be here Friday, and l am taking it straight to the Att store and getting the G3. CAN'T WAIT!!

Nice not to expensive.

One thing is clear though, if you love your note and you like to write on it, get an glass screen protector. I used SGP steinheil on my note 3 and my note 2014. But after putting glass on my note 3 I knew I wanted the same for my note 2014. I'll never go back to anything else.

screen protector

I've always get mine screen protector at the booth at my local mall. I keep forgetting what the name. I always known it as lifetime screen protector. They are the best screen protector I have and have it install on all my devices. But one down fall is that they cost a lot. $35 for my note 2014 and $20 for my note II. Replacement is $10 for the Note 2014 and $5 for the note II.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] cindylee60:
I got one from eBay for about $20. It's thicker than the expensive ones but i don't mind. In fact i like how the home button is now recessed. Accidental wakings when i carry my Note in my bag don't happen anymore. I use the s pen a lot and haven't had any issues. It's not a mil-spec fit though....prolly a scant millimeter gap at the edges. Doesn't bother me at all though and i'd buy it again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] digitaldreams:
Hi all! I recently bought a branded XPA v1605 (TyTN) with QTEK_405 as original CID (Swisscom, italian version). As pre-installed software there was also TomTom Navigator 5 (CH/AT maps only) that I activated using the product code of my new Navigator 6 (W.E. maps), I not installed it before becouse I had to wait for a 1GB microSD to copy the software on (Navigator 6 shipped on miniSD). In the mean time I upgraded the ROM (to 1.18.255.3) and unlocked CID (now 'SuperCID'). After installing Navigatior 6 the activation process hangs becouse the device ID has changed (had to ask TomTom to kinldy give me a new activation code depending on the new device ID). I think that such device ID depends (also) on the CID.

So, the question: If I want to upgrade to a new ROM (eg. 1.18.416.1 or 1.35.255.2), does the CID change or still remain 'SuperCID'? If not I don't think that TomTom will give me another activation code... With ROM 1.18.416.1 (which uses bootloader 1.06) it is not possible to load the patched radio ROM to change CID, I'm right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
- If you used unlocker v1 you will be back to your original CID after flashing any ROM.

- If you used unlocker v2a your CID will remain SuperCID forever.

Right, you need bootloader 1.04 to flash a radio rom (patched or unpatched doesn't matter).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] digitaldreams:
Great! Exactly what I would like to hear :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Deleted member 384713:
Stange, on dutty's v2 and lvsw and maybe other upgrades it is the same issue. Changed Device Code for TomTom. Now the TomTom Activation Code doesn't match anymore. Does anybody know why? What can we do?:o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mbn:
Very much looking for an answer on this, too. I just upgraded to Black 2.5 and have the same issue with TomTom 6.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Hyperbaric:
Had the same problem with TT6 after upgrading to Black2.5

Tomtom provided a new activation code for TT6 and the original map without problem, but I can't get the latest map update to activate despite a load of emails between myself and TT support. They even had me update the core software to a newer version (version 6.030). Just waiting for a reply from '2nd level' support - I really dont understand the issue, I think all I need is a new code.

They had me jump through a few hoops when I asked about a new code for the map update too, wanted a proof of purchase for WM6. Seemed happy enough with a photo of the device info screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Karzi:
I am also having the same problem

I cant use any of the paid for services for tomtom plus cams traffic e.t.c

TomTom Support: We don't offer support on TyTN

I've got the same problem...

After a bunch of emails, TT support told me that this is the reason they don't list the TyTN as a "compatible device".

Bummer... I have Plus services untill may 2008. Another 40 Euro down the drain... not to mention the 125 Euros I spent on TomTom 6...

I'm tempted to stroll the internet for a "semi-legal" solution ;)

I believe the only way is to do it either via USB or bluetooth.

[Moto X Q&A] Imacellist:
You need root to WiFi hostpot. All the methods that I am aware of requires it. Soon we should have a boot loader unlock, which will get you root and let you do this. Until then USB or patience is your answer sadly.
[Moto X Q&A] kdog349:
I don't pay the hotspot fee, so the built in hot spot doesn't work. Frustrating that they make hotspotting so difficult even though I'm allowed to do it by law (I have a data cap). Guess I'll just wait for root. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
So you're not on the old unlimited data plan?

I thought Verizon enabled the hot spot feature on your phone automatically once you were on a tiered data plan, since it uses data from your tiered data.

You can always call them and ask.
[Moto X Q&A] kdog349:
That's the frustrating part, I switched to a 6GB plan partially because of the hotspot feature but they still block it on my phone. They gave me some whacky reason when I called them, something to do with the price tier I'm in.

I thought they weren't allowed to restrict bandwidth on the LTE spectrum as per their deal with the FCC, but I guess they found a loophole.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
first, i'd read your TOS to see if it's mentioned there, then i'd call back and complain and then escalate to a manager. tethering is included in the share everything plans, so if you're on some unique plan, you may be out of luck.

Whenever I click on a video and then enter full-screen mode with it, the video just plays in portrait mode, leaving the entire top and bottom dark. So I have to unlock the screen orientation, go in to landscape mode before I can watch the video in true full-screen. This happens in Chrome and many other browsers I have tried in the play store, the only browser that have a different web-video player is UC browser. It does all that I need when I watch a video (gestures, automatic landscape fullscreen...) but I don't like the browser itself. I prefer Chrome for browsing but not when it comes to watching embedded videos.
