just want to share something..last night before sleep i downloading data for NFS most wanted while charging my s4..the i 'tertido'..about 4 hours later i terjaga i touch my phone and very2 hot..not just warm..very hot untill i cant hold it just for few second only..and its just freeze at nfs game..then i pull out battery and let its cold about half an hour..the issue is,how can its freeze and be very2 hot..i think mybe around 50-70 degree celcius..

i think its normal...because lasttime i charge my fon while turn on the browser the fon starting get hot...eventhough if im not running any program it still warm...i think thats normal for s4..hurmss

but its not warm..its hot..i knows if we surf internet or heavy gaming it will warm..but not that warm..its very hot until i cant hold it..

Dunno why it hang but its probably stuck at top cpu speed hence heating it up.

yeah i know .. because u already chrge the fon more than 1 hours...as me last time is start to warm and get hot..
and mybe the cpu try to process the data while chrge the fon..so its hot

Hello friends. Just bought this phone. Anyone here using Go Launcher? Issit compatible?

just got s4 i9505 LTE and so far the lag is still there.. thought it only happens on i9500 due to bandwidth efficiency issue between the 2 processors..

the good news is, if it's not hardware issue, perhaps it can be fixed in future software update.

btw, here is score difference in synthetic benchmark (antutu) between i9500 and i9505 (right)



please bear in mind, the octa core is actually dual quad core processors. and while running this benchmark, the i9500 only runs on the faster exynos quad core cpu. not on both processors.. yet it's still faster than the s600 quad core, which is clocked at higher speed (1600mhz vs 1900mhz).

so other than the LTE capability, i dont see any advantage for i9505.

Anyone tested the universal TV remote control with S4? Does it work well with your TV?

working well with my Samsung TV and my house mate's LG TV. Won't work with another housemate's Soniq tv though.

Doesn't have to be smart TV right?

Anyone find their s4's camera sluggish and laggy when changing modes/settings?
Any way to smoothen it?

I just got the S4 yesterday. Do I need to charge 8 hours for the first time?

no..

As far as I can tell, no, it doesn't need to be a smart tv.

No, modern lithium ion batteries have no need for that and even if you do it, it will make no difference to the battery. In fact you can use it straight out of the box.

Thanks for the reply guys.
i see. so i just need to fully discharge it until left 1% and fully recharge again? This practice can ensure good battery life right?

For LiIons, don't let it fall below 5%, best to start recharging at 15%

no idea, uninstall and reinstall @@
but should be no problem since latest changelog is fix for s4 and some htc device

huh not compatible with phone spec ??

4 hours sure finished download and fully charge, impossible warm and hot @@

that not normal at all, by 4 hours sure finished download and charge
and phone just got slightly warm only since still charging

yes why not

no need like that 1
it got a cycle, just charge as you wish

lol me always charge as I wish, that means my battery life will become shorter and shorter ?
yet daily charge once ~.~

In most cases, you should avoid full discharge cycles. Unlike NiCad batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory.

They have a limited number of charge cycles and letting it drop to 1% and then fully recharging would shave off one full cycle so if you purposely do it often, in the long run it could shorten the life a bit instead of just recharging it whenever the battery just kinda gets low in power.
