please help!

Does your wifi/bluetooth work?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
yes they work with no problem
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Then it's a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
i don't think so,it plays the bootsound and also the sound works properly for a minute,then it disappears
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
No One had this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamidZaeri:
yes, me too.

Freeze or restart on playing any sound.

I'm on stock lollipop rom I9505

It's OK for a minute after restart, but no more than the minute
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Did you flash any custom rom before?

Tap thanks instead of writing it. Guess what, it's easier!! ??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
i have flashed a custom ROM only after this problem,but nothing change.I went to a china fix store and they said its the motherboard...can this be true?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Try connecting your earphones to the output jack, if it works than try to change the kernel. If still broken than I'd guess it's hardware problem, but probably not the moderboard ( correct me if wrong )
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
with earphones still no sound...i think its hardware problem
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amir4Life:
I have the exact same problem from 15 days ago mate, i ll add to that : the phone overheats under the flash led section as soon as it starts, searching i found some talks about faulty Audio IC chip located there. I did not find a solution, some repairing shops told me they wont even open it here since they know about it, and said it's not repairable...

Now phone even reboots itself, you ll have that too after some days i guess...

Its really annoying since its a replacement for a faulty hardware s3 unit...eMMc chip died on me.

If you find something to fix it let me know please.

I serrendered.

PS : and videos wont play anmore too, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamidZaeri:
I don't think it's about hardware, because my freeze a little on loading audio stuff and it's sometimes OK.

I have tried two roms but no chance.

Is there any link of some stock kernel to flash via odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccovite:
well i think we have to surrender
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcd:
Try stock and check in accessibility ..if all sounds are off ..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Do NOT surrender, those chinese guys are probably trying to rip you off... Im saying this as a chinese guy. Go to a Samsung store.
[Galaxy S6 Active] dew.man:
Picked up a new S6 Active which, while having a 40% larger battery, Samsung lists as only having a 10-20% better battery life (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G890AZWAATT vs http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920AZDAATT). Having a g920f (international s6) handy, and wanting to do a real-world comparison, I immediately disabled the AT&T bloat, and set up both devices exactly the same (except for the S6 having root) including all the same applications, 3 different Exchange accounts, and Tasker running the same profiles. I tried using the devices exactly the same - one on top of the other on a table, doing all the same tasks. Primarily checking email, surfing the web, and watching YouTube, here's what I found:

After 24 hours of use, and 4.5 hours of SOT, the S6 was down to 4% battery. The Active, on the other hand, was still at 24%. The estimates in the Battery settings shows the S6 having another hour remaining, while the Active was predicting another 5.5 hours of use. Both phones did well, but the Active does appear to be holding out only about 15% longer (just like the Samsung website predicted).

So where is the rest of that extra battery going? The internals are supposed to be the same. Same software. With the 40% improvement in battery capacity, I was expecting the Active to show similar improvements in battery life, but it did not. Maybe it has to do with the phone not being conditioned by having been through several charge cycles (keep in mind this was straight out of the box after first full charge). Or maybe the AT&T firmware has more crap running in the background (which we might be able to eventually disable once we have root).

Anyways, I'm not here to recommend one over the other as they both have their pros and cons, but merely to share my findings...
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
Unfortunately I don't have a S6 to compare my Active to. I am very happy with the Active battery performance so far. I'm coming up on 2 days on a single charge under normal use conditions with 40% battery remaining. I'm still on my initial first full charge of the battery as well. I'm sure GSMArena will have battery numbers up as well. For me, I held off getting the standard S6 hoping the Active had a larger and removable battery. At least it is bigger and I'm happy with my purchase.
[Galaxy S6 Active] clovis_ll:
Thats pretty good actually.. I got an att s6 and i can barely make it to 3 hours SOT thats with greenify and root! (maybe because you got the international s6 thats why the battery life is better-no att bloat)

Now I'm seriously thinking of exchanging my s6 for the active...
[Galaxy S6 Active] barondebxl:
Im sure the active will get better with a few charging cycles. And ppl are reporting more than a day of battery life with ease so thats a pretty big difference
[Galaxy S6 Active] nick_dpt:
I just picked up the active, switching from an iphone 6 plus, and love it so far. im at 50% after quite heavy usage for a good 7 hours.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lyall29:
That's pretty good! My S6 usually drops to 55-60% after 4 hours of podcasts and light web browsing. I don't mind though because I always charge the phone on my lunch break anyway. Though the longer battery life would be great if I am away from any power source. Hmmm, I'm starting to consider the Active.:confused:
[Galaxy S6 Active] holtenc:
Generally after a typical days use, my S6 would be around 20-30%. My active is around 50-60%.
[Galaxy S6 Active] barondebxl:
That's a HUGE difference

Here is my second complete charge cycle since Friday. Did not screenshot the first one, but it was over a day. I've noticed it's learning the battery better. Takes about an hour and a half right now to recharge w/o booting up the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Active] barondebxl:
What was your on screen time?
[Galaxy S6 Active] crispy1805:
crap, did not catch that. Sorry :-\
[Galaxy S6 Active] joewoo:
Only 10-20% more with 1000mah extra is odd
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
Battery test...

[Galaxy S6 Active] robertopod1968:
It's way more than 10-20%. I've had them both and both set up exactly the same. I'd say it's at least 50% more battery life for me with the active.
[Galaxy S6 Active] beaverslayer:
There's a guy on Android Central that got 10hr SOT; pretty amazing.:good:
[Galaxy S6 Active] crispy1805:
Almost hit the two day mark today.
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
At 3 days 10 hours, with 24% left. I consider myself a "light user". Occasional phone calls, text messages, check facebook a few times a day, youtube here or there, etc. I have NFC and GPS off. Bluetooth always on and WiFi set to turn off (use most data) when not in use. Disabled all the ATT/Microsoft apps except I left Milk Audio enabled. Also changed some sync settings and only sync Google App data, Mail, and Contacts. Not running any battery management apps.

ETA: I just installed greenify to hibernate Facebook and Messenger.
[Galaxy S6 Active] crispy1805:
That's amazing. Anything else you can think of, let us know. I have done most of that. A lot of my battery drainage seems to come from MightyText; but I use its services and I am not sure how to make it better. Getting two days battery life is pretty sweet though, so I am not complaining much.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Ascertion:
I haven't played with the standard S6, but this is my battery on it's first charge. Disabled about 32 apps that I deemed bloatware.

LTE 100% of the time. No WiFi.
[Galaxy S6 Active] barondebxl:
Wow!
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
It seems like everyone is reporting great battery life.

For me it is very mediocre. I usually got around 4 hours screen on time in 15 hours.

I have disabled all the bloatware, location history off, wifi scan off, NFC off, bluetooth on, one gmail and one email sync. Also using Greenify to kill apps when locking the screen.

None of them seems help the battery life especially when it's in standby.

It holds up pretty well when I am actually using it.

Here is the screenshots:
[Galaxy S6 Active] Ascertion:
Update on my experience.

I think this phone is great so far. Battery performance should be prioritized in this industry.
[Galaxy S6 Active] k6tcher:
That is exactly the way mine behaved. I was getting around 3 to 4% drain on standby per hour (6 to 10% while using it) after disabling the bloat. I even have a MicroCell so the cell signal was always strong. I factory reset twice and each time the drain was the same. I tried every fix out there. I finally returned it to AT&T. My Nexus 5 only drains 1 to 1.8% per hour on standby with a 2300 mAh battery. I guess my Active was just a dud. Back to the Nexus it is!
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
Did you pay the restocking fee?

I'm wondering if this is just a defect unit as others all seems get great battery life.

Thinking about exchanging it for a new one but not sure if I need to pay that fee.
[Galaxy S6 Active] k6tcher:
Yeah. I did. There wasn't anyway to really prove it was defective (as I suspect) and I just didn't want to deal with the lack of updates the Active will probably (not) get. It will be stuck on 5.0.2 for a good couple months. I think those getting great battery life are on LTE and are not using WiFi that much. I suspect Touchwiz and Android 5.0.2 have a battery drain involving the WiFi + the cellular radio.
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
I tried just use lte for one day but still pretty much the same result.

If it's just software issue, I can live with that and wait for updates or roms.

But if it's some hardware issue, then probably need to return it.

I still have one week to figure out...thanks for you reply, at least I know I'm not the only one get bad battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
10 hours overnight. No use 2% drain.
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
I guess I will take it back for a new one...
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
I have a lot of stuff disabled and using greenify for facebook and facebook chat. WiFi is set to turn off and NO gps, nfc, led, vibration feedback, etc. But like I said that was a 2% drain while I was sleeping.
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
I also have those off for the most part, and it would lost over 10% if I sleep 10 hours...
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
Anything show up under battery you don't need? I had Samsung Push notifications show up after I tried downloading or logging into their store. Disable that too.
[Galaxy S6 Active] xcwjxc:
I disabled that too. Did everything I can but not improving. Half an hour screen on time in 2.5 hours and I'm at 80% right now... I even turned on the power saving...
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
Personally I don't do OST tests. I figure if I can test my battery during sleep I can find out what is keeping it awake and/or draining the battery. So far this is the best test I had. My first one was I think 6% over 10 hours at night but Facebook/Chat were running.
[Galaxy S6 Active] ericc191:
I just picked up an active coming from an HTC One M7. So far it is nice, but there is a lot I will miss..

- Front facing stereo speakers

- Smaller size (small hands)

- Back arrow on the Left not right (left handed)

- Sense

- ROOT!

I think I will survive, though. I had fully intended to get the One M9, but after seeing the battery life tests from multiple sites showing it was even lower than the M8, that put the nail in the coffin for me.

I think the most important thing here is going to be root, though. I really hope this device gets rooted.

[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
The S6 Active is the King of the hill on battery life. Even the LG G4 is reported to have worse battery life than the G3. I knew the active was coming out as soon as they released the standard S6 so I'm glad I waited for it.
[Galaxy S6 Active] j-fuze:
My S6 Active doesn't sleep quite as well but I'm still very pleased, all things considered. I've made very minimal changes to it, just disabled AT&T bloat. Using Google Now Launcher with always listening, constant Android wear connection, NFC, GPS high accuracy w/ location history, default sync rules with 2 gmail accounts, auto brightness, no power saving modes. This is the second full cycle on the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Active] dingyibvs:
I've been getting some excellent battery life. I got my S6A on Wednesday, and I spent Thursday setting up the phone, then most of Sunday tinkering with the phone, so 2 very heavy use days. On Thursday, I got 16h 36m on battery with 5h 44m of SOT, discharging all the way to 0%. This was with a mix of WiFi and LTE, about half and half. On Sunday, I got 11h 40m on battery with 6h 14m of SOT, draining to 14%. This was all WiFi, and I spent most of the SOT installing, trying out, and deleting apps, so it was pretty battery-intensive use. GPS and location services (with GPS, WiFi, and cell for best accuracy) were on as well as Facebook and Messenger. Bloatware and google now were disabled, but OK Google (always listening) is enabled, and there were no other battery-saving measures (i.e. no greenify, no power saving modes, etc.).
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
I managed to get about 6 days on my normal use which is pretty light compared to what most do with their phones.

It took 1 hr and 45 min to charge the phone from 0-100% with the supplied quick charger with the phone off.
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
My 1st charge lasted through thursday & friday at work, and saturday all day at home. Of course, that included a bunch of app in/uninstalls, 7 hours screen on time. Ended the third day (at 10pm) with 15% battery left. I disabled all the AT&T apps, don't use facebook, and used the "old time" theme (as it was the darkest I could find). Very happy. AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] dew.man:
I don't get it. On my second s6 active, and can't get through two days with 5 hrs of sot. Now granted, when I leave it alone without a sim card in it, it'll go forever. But with real life usage, I'm maybe 30% better than my regular s6...
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
Do you use a bright theme? My biggest battery drain is the cell radio. We have very weak signal, maybe 1 bar or less, at work, and only a couple at my house.
[Galaxy S6 Active] k6tcher:
Just curious... do you use an AT&T Microcell to connect to a cellular signal?
[Galaxy S6 Active] nhutpham:
I'm averaging about 5 hours of screen on time too. I use my phone for push gmail, push exchange mail, messaging, gaming, pretty typical use. Facebook, occasional picture. I'm pretty spot on 4-5 hours SOT or averaging out to that much.

Not sure if everyone that posts the 7-8 hours SOT is mostly surfing the web or watching videos or I got some kind of drain going on, or it's just normal.

I'm on T-Mobile, on Wi-Fi at least half of the time.
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
6 hours screen on time, 25% remaining. I have the phone set up for dark themes in all the utilities that I frequently use. Email is pushed from work, ok Google search enabled on all pages, no Facebook. AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
All in all im very happy coming from a gs2 not even getting a full day to the gs6 active getting 4 days on the same type use.
[Galaxy S6 Active] ..::SH@RIF®™::..:
Nice article thanks 4 share
[Galaxy S6 Active] MizuRyuu:
I been getting around 3-4 SOT on average, with the best being 5 hrs and the worst being 1hr.... As you can guess, this battery life is fairly disappointing, considering what some of you guys have mentioned and shown. I am trying to decide whether to go into the Best Buy to get an exchange before my exchange period is over.

In terms of my usage, I am mostly on facebook, reddit, email, and messenger each day. I also have a smartwatch connected to my phone. I also have the Material design theme installed. I am seeing about 2-3% drain on standby. I have also tried playing youtube videos for an hour, and it drains about 15% in that hour. It feels like my battery is draining away at a fairly high pace even (or especially) when I don't use the phone.

I have been uninstalling/disabling most apps that is a battery drain, and it barely squeezed out more battery life. Of course, I also have just about every single pre-installed bloatware app disabled. I have also restricted background data to a few apps ( in particular, Google Play Service) to try to reduce some of the background processing that can cause battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
How bright do you have your screen? Mine is at set at auto, with the dot directly below the "o" in location (on the notification bar). I use the "old time" theme. Not sure what my best time-on is, probably 6 or 7 hours. I run three or four days between charging. I don't use social apps, work email is set to push, personal mail checks once per hour.
[Galaxy S6 Active] MizuRyuu:
I have the screen set to auto with the dot at the mid point. There is no way I can run multiple days without charging. If I don't use it much throughout the day, it will still be ~25% by the time I sleep. I do use social apps, but not more than an hr each day. My email behavior seems similar to you
[Galaxy S6 Active] chadderbox:
I get a whole day and if I don't touch it, I can stretch to 2 days. Running anywhere from 4-6 hours SOT and that's usually with some charge left maybe 10-15%. Overall I'm happy coming from an edge with 2-3 SOT at most, but have to admit I'm slightly disappointed as I had hoped for more. Hoping we get root and greenify will help but I'm not holding my breath.
[Galaxy S6 Active] mj0528:
Ditto
[Galaxy S6 Active] crispy1805:
I started using Package Disabler (in the App store) and it has worked great. Disabling ANT+ and some other bloatware I could not disable from the settings menu has changed the drain on my phone. Now if I leave it sitting around unplugged for 8 hours (i.e. while I am sleep) I only get 2-3% battery drain instead of 8-10%.
[Galaxy S6 Active] wardie123:

Hey guys first time posting, i used the S6 Active for 30 days and i have even posted a video review on the battery life specifically.

ive actually been getting pretty terrible battery life out of it, fine screen on time but the phone with the screen on or off seems to be chewing away at my battery regardless. my screen is never the top under battery usage.

Heres a link to my video

https://youtu.be/tmTISVIn3Xk
[Galaxy S6 Active] blessedsword:
what....just 5 hours?

If you dont have the SIM card,use airplane to keep your battery better.

I can use it for more 6 hours screen on with 4LTE on and 7 hours without sim card in more than 1 day.

sorry my bad English
[Galaxy S6 Active] crispy1805:
I clicked "disable all bloatware" then went through and selected the things I do use (instagram, flipboard). Most of it is samsung addons. Looks pretty similar to this (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-active/551480-package-disabler.html)

Hi,

I'm trying from some tine by now to find a solution to install kids mode on my I9505 on different lollipop roms

So far I found only one rom with functional kids mode, but this one will be soon outdated...

There is one in Albe's thread with S6 apps, but it's not working.

Also all previous roms (4.4.2) had it

Can somebody help me please with a link or provide a working app? Either S4, S5 or S6, it's not important :)

Highly appreciated,
