Anyone got a list of ROM for i9500 that are stable, have good battery life and camera?
I want my phone to perform better with better battery life but wouldn't want to sacrifice those things above. |

Just updated my i9500 to the latest Knox 2.0. Didn't see any difference. It add new shortcut for installing Kids Mode, which I am not really interested. Anybody tried the new update?
Seems there is new app (bloat) from Samsung called Samsung Galaxy Life which seems to be some kind of exclusive deal notifier for Galaxy owner?  This post has been edited by RushArt: Oct 1 2014, 09:05 PM |

QUOTE(wira1979 @ Jul 3 2015, 10:06 AM) Appreciate any help I can get ... Hi, why not just try to factory reset your phone? See if it is misbehaving apps.Was thinking of ditching my S4 for another phone as it was getting laggy, battery dies too fast and it keeps getting stuck for no reason. Now thanks to this thread, found out that an update is available and I'll probably try the update first before wasting any money changing phones. My problem is that I've not had any OTA update notification and I don't think I can wait any longer as my S4 is driving me mental. I'm tempted to download and update the new firmware myself but am a total idiot when it comes this. Hopefully, someone will help me with my queries: 1. Is updating via Odin or Kies considered flashing/rooting? 2. Any danger or is there anything I should know about first before doing this? 3. Will it blow up my phone? Cheers guys and thanks in advance.  Anyway, to answer: 1. No, because you are flashing Samsung official firmware 2. There is always danger, although because you are just flashing official firmware, the risk should be minimum. That being said, I always do full backup before attempting anything. Just in case. 3. Nope, but don't sue me if it blows up when you are flashing  |

QUOTE(wira1979 @ Jul 3 2015, 03:33 PM) Cheers buddy ... will download and try to install this weekend. Anyway, if you decide to factory reset, just use Titanium Backup (the free version is sufficient) to backup all your apps and data, factory reset, then restore. All your apps and data should be intact.Reluctant to factory reset because that would mean having to back-up and all that right? Am a bit paranoid of losing my PvZ progress so most likely would only factory reset as an absolute last resort. This post has been edited by RushArt: Jul 3 2015, 04:22 PM |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jul 6 2015, 06:45 PM) Battery usage for the S4 was never really good to begin with. To be fair, S4 has one of the best battery life for flagship of its generation (M7, Nexus 5, Xperia Z, Note doesn't count because it's a phablet). The only flagship that has better battery life at that time is LG G2 (with the downside of no removable battery). |
