Congrats on new thread 
Just wanna share some info. I just bought a new battery from Hulala, a groupon like site. This is the 2nd purchase I have made and will boycott this website from now on. First time they sold a "phillips" powerbank claim its 20k mah but its lighter than my S1. Charged my S1 2 times and its dead. Returned it and went thru all the trouble as well as threatening to report to consumers association before they agreed to refund me not via giving me onsite credits.
PS: Phillips doesn't even sell such powerbank. Its china one with the word phillips printed on it and came with 32gb fake 32gb kingston pendrive and fake 64gb kingston micro sd.

This time they sold s4 battery and put there 100% original. According to them last time if its original, they will put a stamp on the picture to say its original. This battery comes with NFC(unlike the previous one I bought from shop which looks authentic as well as having the seals to say dont buy if seal is broken and hologram sticker saying samsung original. Bought using book voucher so I dont care about changing it) and battery lasts but according to Battery Monitor, it cant charge at 2A speed . I do use NFC as I have NFC stickers ready for writing.


Package came as such. No Blue samsung sticker on it.


Nova battery tester stats. See 2nd from bottom for results.

Apart from advising people not to patronize this party, I am asking for opinion. What would you people do in situations like this? Thanks.

Stock Keyboard?



try to use spacing the charaters, space once, backspace and apply it

you 10 spaces also the same i suggest to put a dash in between..

i used stock keyboard to test this out and still the same.

put a dash will solve your issue, right? l am not sure how old is the sony ericsson phone you referring and all these are controlled by FW. Maybe you could confirm with other Android user like LG... HTC.... if the same then is FW otherwise is Samsung FW only..

hello ladies and gentlemen.

urgent help is needed here. 

my s4 suddenly keep restarting.  i tried to remove the battery,sim card and also the sd card.
i even tried to reset that phone. but everytime i install the battery,it is automatically ON until the samsung logo
and keep restarting again and again. i even tried to change the battery but nil joy. i also tried to enter download mode to use ODIN,but also cannot. (macam-macam sudah try) 

since i am away from malaysia,i cant refer to malaysia samsung for warranty claim.

pls,anybody. need this phone urgently.    

thanks in advance.

I can confirm is caused by FW. I have used other keyboard with same result. Did the same in my friend Note 3 with same result.

This maybe Samsung Android or generally all Android unless someone can confirm it.

can't even reset the phone. only On until samsung logo then gone.
so it is maybe not because of software problem.

IC stands for what? 

me in myanmar. google for yangon samsung servise center ady but tak jumpa.
ask around they also dunno 

hmmm recently my s4 auto connect to data usage immediately after i turn off my wifi

virus ?

i don remember changing any settings

Changing FW?....  I am afraid Changing FW also will be the same... unless you don't use Android phone...  

really ??? for the past 10 months everytime i turn off wifi... the data usage never on Automatically

just happened like a week ago... would an app cause the phone to auto on data usage after wifi is off???

also cannot enter recovery mode. tried few times before 

cant wait to get back to malaysia then claim it.
do u guys have any idea how long they gonna need to fix this problem ?

why 16gb only give 9gb free space? any solution except adding sd card?

as the price stated

anyway, do you guys sync?
if yes, which one? coz got google sync,
samsung acc,
now fb also want to sync contact..   

which one easier say if anything happen to my phone, i can just do backup to get my contacts, whatsapp etc

thank you
