install this app --> Galaxy Charging Current Lite

make sure you get it from Play Store since Pirate apps highly risk now

yes, it happen before to some other phone.. it might be pure bad luck to those happen to get it.. i believe, charging overnight is not a problem.. doing that since Nokia 3310 era and it never happen..

More updates mean more problem fixed. In other word, LTE have less problem

after upgrade my i9505 firmware to the latest XUBMG5, my battery performance greatly increase.. Last time it is hard for me to get SOT 3 hours and standby more than 20hours.. Now i can get SOT 3 hours++ and standby time more than 20 hours.. few fb, twitter, 4sq, insta, flipboard, gmail, surfing, waze and also turn on air gesture, nfc & smart stay all the time.. anyone upgrading to this firmware feeling the same?

you mean, you only want EDGE or GPRS line only? seriously ?? why you want to have smartphone then??

the line appear in S4 LTE will be like this: G < E < 3G < H < H+ < 4G

satisfaction is subjective, different in every user.. Nexus is plain Android, but you get better user experience and fastest update.. While S4 have many bells and whistle, while some call it bloatware.. if you need the extra features, you will go get S4..

it is really worth to spend additional rm300 to get LTE because 2 things.. First, you get LTE connection and second, you get double the internal memory which is 32gb compare to 16gb only in 3G version.. it is normal in other phone model too like iPhone and HTC One, pay additional rm300 and you got double internal memory..

the biggest culprit of battery lost, Screen is the lowest usage.. this looks weird.. have you update your firmware to the latest firmware, XUBMG5 for i9505 or XUBMG1 for i9500?? then install Wakelock Detector to see what apps using the most cpu or trigger the wake..

just search in play store 'Wakelock Detector', or just click this link -> Wakelock Detector-Save Battery

your S4 is AP set? Malaysia official firmware dont have XUAMDK.. according to sammobile, XUAMDK is India firmware.. anyway, you still can update the firmware.. try install KIES on your PC, run KIES and connect your S4 through USB.. it should detect your S4 and search for the latest update..

Do you root your phone? If not, you can get update OTA by going to Setting > About Device > Software Update.

Else, you can use KIES to get latest firmware

since you said your is SME set, should be no problem with warranty.. but from sammobile, your firmware is India.. thats weird.. anyway, try using KIES to update first.. but, if you know how to use ODIN, you can download malaysia XME firmware from sammobile and manually update using ODIN..

easy, just see what process having the most usage is the culprit.. or any process that you didnt know or launch by itself without your command, that might be the problem..



in my sample above, if i logoff skype, i might have better battery usage, since it trigger CPU the longest time without me really using it.. apart from CPU wakelock, you can also check screen wakelock and wakeup trigger.. after you know the culprit, try to adjust the setting of the apps or just turn it off..

Setting > About

XUAMDE is the first firmware release for Malaysia. You should get latest notification to update to latest XUBMG1 firmware, when you connect your phone to KIES. Maybe there is some bug in the earlier firmware to get OTA update.

that is one weird 4G LTE logo.. how come you 4G logo appears as 4G LTE?? because my S4 just stated 4G just like your new LTE logo.. custom ROM?

you should not let other make decision for you.. if S4 can fulfill all your needs to upgrade, why not go ahead.. and i believe, upgrade from S2 will be a big upgrade

when i first got my S4 LTE, i also using normal sim card cut to micro sim card, and i always facing this signal drops..

then i went to Celcom service centre and ask for a fresh micro sim card.. after that i dont have signal drop problem anymore.. so, change to real micro sim card might help.. for Celcom, if you want 4G sim card, can only get it either at Celcom HQ or Sunway..

what data plan you use? we can get 4G speed across all data plan? because my celcom data plan stated speed up to 7.2Mbps only.. i dont want to change to 4G sim card and later cant get the 4G service

i subscribe to celcom 3gb data plan, and from the speed test, the fastest i get is nearly 7Mbps only.. while some my friend on maxis plan can easily get 14+mbps even on 1gb data plan.. wonder why celcom still practising the speed limit with data plan.. you can try read their FUP here: Celcom First Data Fair Usage Policy

while from celcom online, it also stated my speed is at 7200 kbps only



well since 4G sim card change is free, maybe i can go try it.. hope i will get real 4G speed..

you get the info and breaking news faster than 3G user, by a mere speed of light.. google search appear before you press enter.. twitter, facebook and instagram feed come to you before you touch the screen.. but all this didnt change the way you live with your smartphone before.. it still the same facebook you read, same instagram you upload and same tweet you chirping out.. in what way you need more data quota than before?

even for youtube streaming, there is no problem to stream HD content in 3G, so what is the different when you stream in 4G? you like to watch video 2x speed than normal speed?

yes, even then it didnt reach the 3gb quota.. why pay for thing not use?

because there is HUGE different in speed between Streamyx and 56k.. you are comparing snail and cheetah.. 3G is like streamyx and 4G is like Unifi.. you cant even stream youtube properly in 240p using 56k, but you can still get smooth HD streaming on 8mbps Unifi, so what is the difference watching the same HD youtube on 20mbps Unifi? you like watching 2hours movie in only 1hour?

erks, i think my problem is with data quota only.. i dont know why you guys bashing me while i'm asking uncle benny888 whether he having the highest primest Celcom data plan to get 4G speed, or any lower data plan can also enjoy 4G LTE speed.. i'm giving example of my usage, and you suddenly jump in saying your sense, and i must follow your sense?? i dont blame anyone that enjoying the higher data quota.. i'm giving fact that Celcom indeed make tier speed according to data plan you subscribe..

of course i love speed, and if i want to get the 4G speed, i dont want it to come compulsory with higher data plan.. in Maxis, every data plan can enjoy the highest HSPA+ speed, while Celcom the speed of 3G come in tier of the data quota..

let me stated again.. i want the speed of 4G LTE without upgrading to higher Data Plan.. is that possible with Celcom? or every user of 4G LTE must subscribe to 10gb data plan only can fully enjoy the speed??
