[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurens227:
Hello

i'm new here, but not new in ways of flashing and rooting and stuff.

My main problem i'm stuck at for over 4 years

Galaxy S2 i9100

Galaxy S3 i9300

Galaxy Note 2

Galaxy S4 LTE i9505

Galaxy S4 LTE T-Mobile (Netherlands) GT-i9505

BATTERY DRAIN ON EVERY CUSTOM ROM\KERNEL EVER

Let's go:

Samsung Galaxy S4 T-Mobile GT-i9505 (NO NOT THE SGH-i337, I DONT LIVE IN AMERICA)

Whatever ROM \ Kernel i tried: DRAIN

Kernel : Any

Location off

bluetooth off

signal strengt: Lived almost under a cell tower, 100 percent signal

Airplane mode, wont make a difference

Sync off (ALL SYNC)

New battery : Not resolving anything

Wipe? I could wipe for billion times wont solve ****

Brightness low - (auto disabled)

Disabled automatic time

disabled google maps log report + Disabled the whole app

Disabled auto update play store

disabled virbration

disabled touch sounds

disabled automatic wifi scan

Removing SD Card : Nope not solving anything

Trying different roms? : I tried all possibilitys

Calibrated battery? Check no solve

"Settle the rom (bull**** but was worth trying) No solve

Replaced model??Check! No solve

Gsam Battery monitor? Check, Not a drastic drain...??

Undervolting, .. nope

underclocking,,, nope

powersave governe? nope

Using 2g as priimary network? you can already guess it

Average battery 100-0 5 - 6 hours. When using losing 2 percent in 3 minutes average, playing simple games (COC) 30 percent in 10 mins

The solution to get normal battery back?? TOUCHWIZ STOCK (EVEN CUSTOM BASED TWROMS DRAIN)

So my phone lasts longer, if it only has 500 mb ram left instead of 1.3 gb (wich was on custom)

Battery goes longer with bloatware from samsung + tmobile running in the background

Its like if you drive 200 kilometers per hour on max rpm using less gasoline then driving eco mode on low rpm.

IM SICK OF IT FOR OVER 4 BLOODY YEARS ALL THE SAME BULLS*T

ANY HELP IS MUUUUUUCH APPRECIATED

THANKS IN ADVANCE

YOU GUYS R AWESOME!!

PEACE!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Custom roms don't have the same battery life as stock roms, true.

But what you're describing is clearly not normal. Last time I charged my phone was 18 hours ago. I'm now at 75% percent. There was some moderate usage (mostly texting) but the phone was mostly idle.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Well the only constant factor is you. I think you just expect to much of a smartphone. A screen on time of 2-4 hours is normal. Also it's common to charge it every night.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurens227:
Yes i don't have problems with charging it overnight

I have problems with charging it 2 times a day, it goes off the charger round 12 midday, and is already empty round 17.. with minimal usage, whatsapp, not even facebook or what so ever.. i play a game for like 10 mins, listen to music.. all by all i dont do too much on it. still it goes to fast to zero
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurens227:
Yeah man, i'm a heavy user of it to admit. but even on days i nearly touch it it went to fast to zero.

thank you for your reply
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Maybe it has something to do with root. Since it happens only on rooted roms.

I can't find any explanation why you have good battery life on stock but bad battery life on any custom rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurens227:
Hm that could be, i really don't know..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bodom_hc:
My friend has a s4 running hyperdrive 4.3

Hes not that into rooting so hes pretty lost, not sure how he even got this far but anyways.

I dont have an s4 which is why im posting here

I would assume he needs to first update his recovery

and the lastest twrp i see is 2.5 ?

If someone can tell me what i need to do to his phone in order to be able to flash the newest hyperdrive rom thatd be great

Dont feel like getting a headache trying to piece all this information myself

thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob Frank:
Greetings,

I have some issues on my international SGS3 with videos..

When I want to upload video for example to the message through messenger, it stucks on 30% everytime..

Or when I'm watching some video, I can't rewind it because the video again stops playing..

Can anyone help me?

Device: SGS3 (International i9300)

ROM name: SuperNexus 4.0 - I9300 - Build 1

kernel version and its settings: 3.0.64-CM-gb166325 root@DigitalOcean-001 #1

any mods applied on top of it: Only xposed - GravityBox [KK]

flashing "style": clean
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] takaki:
Everytime after I run the Windows Live Messenger, my machine never stop auto-connect. I stop it manually, then it try to re-connect...... until I soft reset =.="
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BUMP THAT:
Did you try stopping it with WML closed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] takaki:
1) sign out the WLM

2) close the WLM

3) comm. manager -> stop data connection

.

.

.

.

then it starts to re-connect =.="
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jpxdude:
This is one of the first things I figured out.

Go into settings, then connections, and create a 'fake' connection which will have empty parameters.

When you don't want to use your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection at all, set your internet connection to point to the 'fake' connection. Anything that tries to use a 3G connection, such as messenger, will try to connect and fail only once, and never bother you after that. When you need your regular connection, just go into settings -> connections, and switch your profile to your operators connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] The Lazy Slug:
No Data

You might want to try this little app.

http://www.modaco.com/New-FREE-Utility-t246171.html

As the author states, it's very handy for when you're abroad, but I tend to use it when watching video to stop the connection bubble interfereing with my viewing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simon_darley:
happens to me when using wifi n start wlm. wants to use 3g/hsdpa as default.

i just turn phone off until i start the app, then enjoyh quiet of no phone for a while :) if u miss ur phone turn it back on afterwards. it will use the wifi after that once connected.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Chutney:
I have the exact smae problem.. do later versions of messenger live resolve it? I haven't tried yet.

Anyone see this before? Both the wifi and LTE icons are showing up at once. It happens occasionally and usually only lasts for a few minutes before the lte icon disappears.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
Yes. Do a search there was a dedicated thread to this.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleGreenSony:
So I was happily using my phone for music. Using earphones. Running PAC 4.4.4 with a locked bootloader. Decided to phone my mother on the way back from college. Can't here her. No earphones connected. No sound through earpiece, switched to loudspeaker this worked and I could hear her. ( though she could also hear herself due an issue with PAC ROM)

I tested my phone's audio when I got back using Deezer here are the results:

Loudspeaker: No sound volume. Tried adjusting still no sound

Headphone jack output: normal sound and quality.

I then used an app to switch audio to earpiece: sound is breaky uppy. Stuttery very much broken.

I then tried switching device on and off. No result.

Sound plays on volume adjustment of ring volume only.

Tried other sound sources anything to do with ring or notification sound plays from loudspeaker.

So confused thought it could be viper for android.

I changed to the new stock based 4.3 ROM by killawave.

The problems stays I reflashed kernel both .205. And .207

I've resorted to believing its tondo with the headphone jack ( so I'm removing screws from my phone to see if I can open the port and fix it. But I have hit a stubborn screw. Feeling quite frustrated by this.

Does anyone know about this problem? Or how to solve it. :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleGreenSony:
I think I have a solution

But it's temperorary. Sound plays if I download an app called SoundAbout from Google play. I went into connectable devices --> wired headset settings --> disable wired headset detection.

Essentially all sounds work now

But before all volumes but media volume would work.

From testing it is definitely earphone jack failure:

I'll try a toothpick massage to the port to see if it works wish me luck:mad:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halloarno:
If you think it might could be firmware, you can consider to flash a ftf file and start all over...

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleGreenSony:
Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion but I heavily doubt the issue is software related. I've tried going stock. But didn't solve the issue. Its hardware damage for sure either physical or moisture. But not sure how moisture could of entered. I'm sure of it as twiddling a paper clip in it solved audio for a few seconds but replugging earphones in resets the issue. I'll try a bowl of rice overnight to remove any moisture if any. I will open it up using solder on the dodgy screw tomorrow.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cola Vs Pepsi:
My friend recently upgraded to the M9 and gave me his M7 for free.

I love every single thing about the M7 except 1 thing:

The rear and front facing camera. >:(

From the guides on xda forums, i have read that if you double the copper tape and add a copper roll from the screen side, the pink tint will go away. But the problem didnt go away.

So I thought to myself that there is a gap between the camera chip and the copper tape. So I bought Arctic MX-2 and applied a small piece to the chip. It ALSO didn't change anything.

I was hoping that the pink tint will gradually appear as the camera heats up. But it appears immediately...

The front facing camera at daytime is beautiful. However once you go into a dark root, even with 1 lamp lit, the picture gets extremely grainy and the video gets very choppy (maybe 3fps) ? Is this normal?

My question:

1) Is there anything I can do besides, buying a new rear facing camera?

2) Is the front facing camera normal? If I buy a new front facing camera will the issue disappear?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdarski:
1. No. It's been permanently damaged.

2. No. Grain and low fps are due to poor low light performance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cola Vs Pepsi:
If I buy a replacement ultrapixel camera, will the camera be the same quality?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdarski:
It should be.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cola Vs Pepsi:
If you have a m7, can you please take a picture of your front camera in low light and upload it. Thanks!

Last question:

Where can I get a good quality camera ultrapixel camera in the UK for under 15 pounds?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdarski:
View attachment 3321718View attachment 3321719

Here you go. One picture taken in poor light and the other one taken with lights completely off.

No idea where you can get a new sensor but do search this thread - it was already posted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmitr:
I have 2 M7s. My "primary" I purchased launch day (2+ years of use), solid (awesome) battery life, great screen, and camera is flawless front and rear. My 2nd M7 is my ROM flashing machine, screen is claibrated differently (not worse, but whites are bluer etc, I prefer my primary), battery is worse even though it hasn been used as much, and while the front cam is fine the rear cam has the purple tint issue and is useless in my opinion. Even clear daylight shots it fails in comparison to my primary M7.

Okay so I upgraded to lollipop OC3 using keep root method then flashed this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479) with flashfire and now I'm getting "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone." Any way I can get this rom up and running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
That rom is not for your device. If you can't boot up you'll have to flash the stock firmware in Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cats_PJs:
There are people saying this works in the All things AT&T thread,but using the safestrap method, not Flashfire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tkitez99:
Okay, thanks Cats_PJs I will try the safestrap method!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tkitez99:
DIdn't work for me. I'm using safestrap v 3.75 vs. 3.72 could that be the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cats_PJs:
That should be the correct version of safestrap, haven't tried to flash the rom myself, maybe ask someone in the rom thread how they got it to work.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnerualP:
Hey guys,

Well, this sucks. Randomly today my power button decided not to do anything anymore. I've done some googling, and found people who have some problems unlocking with it, but i can't even use it to lock my phone.

For now, I can use the phone by letting it autolock, and unlocking by double tapping the screen, but obviously this is not something I will be able to keep on doing.

My main problem is, I wanna try the good old haaaveyoutriedturningitoffandonagain, but the only way to shut it off is probably to just let the battery run out.. And then I'm scared that I won't be able to turn it back on again :)

Is this a known issue? Or is it probably just random hardware failure. Can any of you wizards help me out?

Thanks a lot in advance!
