Hi, I checked for update but it says latest one installed.

Is there a way to force update like clearing cache of Google network service for Nexus?

Or patience is my best friend for now?

Hey guys,

I am using galaxy s4 black edition, still with Kit Kat 4.4.2 as I didn't received any updates OTA for lollipop.

However this morning I checked for updates and there is one about 1GB in size.

Anyone knows what this one is for? Whether for upgrade to lollipop or just security updates? Thanks.

Hi guys,

I revived my wife Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500 on 3G only no 4G), found out the battery drained too fast.
Configured to lowest brightness and reset the phone with basic aps in it.

I thought it caused by the battery, then I bought a new set of battery from Samsung KLCC RM100+.

PS: On Android version 5.0.1

Unfortunately, same result but better than previous old battery.

Have you checked the usual stuff like wifi, sync, background apps, etc..

Anyways, s4 battery performance is not something to be proud of the begin with..

I can drop from 100% to 80 % in 15 minutes of Clash Royale..so yea..keep chargers or battery banks nearby..

I have been using the S4 I9505 for nearly 3 years. The battery drains quickest if connected to mobile data. Significantly less battery drain if connected to WiFi.

Nowadays a full charge in the morning will last me until evening based on my usage pattern. I use third-party replacement batteries. Pisen, Nohon and Deji but now unable to get Deji. Pisen can get from Lelong, Nohon from AliExpress. I swap out the depleted battery in the evening and charge it using a separate battery charger. I normally carry a spare battery with me when I go out. Smaller and lighter compared to a power bank (So far I have not used a power bank).

Bro I wanna ask, how much is the capacity of those third party battery?

Been wanting to get sun global 3150maph battery but doubting whether it is as advertised.

I heard third party batteries have shorter charge cycle compared to original battery. Is it true?

I just don't believe the high capacities quoted by some of the third-party suppliers. I go for the batteries that quote the same capacity (2600mAh) as the original Samsung battery. Because this indicates to me that the supplier is at least not exaggerating.

I do not have equipment to measure the true capacity of the third-party batteries. Just use them and see whether they last about the same as the original. In fact, the third-party battery, being newer, should last longer than the older original Samsung battery.  Right now I switch between the Pisen, Nohon and Deji batteries. Stopped using the original Samsung battery (the oldest battery) because the capacity has deteriorated such that it depletes faster than the other third-party batteries.

I have also used Anker and Andida.  Surprisingly the Anker, despite its apparently popularity in the US, seems to me to have less capacity than the other third-party batteries. I gave the Anker to a friend who is still using it. The Andida was my first third-party battery for the S4 and I find the worst. The phone will shut down when I activate the Camera app. I suspect the Andida battery cannot cope with trying to charge up the phone LED flash causing the phone to shut down. No longer using this battery.

Lastly, in case NFC is a requirement. I think only the Anker and Nohon batteries comes with NFC capability. But since I do not use NFC, this is not a criteria for me.

Thanks for the comprehensive review!
