Battery History is helpful [demonstration]

I only got about 5hrs barely using my device while at the rockets game last night. I noticed my screen was on 100% at times before and not sleeping. According to the reports.
So when I got home I opened my Battery History app [free from market] and found the root of the evil. Even tho I had Weatherbug not updating or any alerts, it still caused my fone never to sleep.
Uninstalled weather bug and my problems are over

That's actually very helpful.
if the screen is off, does that necessarily mean it's sleeping ?
(asking seriously, not snarky)
AND.. thanks for pointing out the additional functionality, functionality (anyone see short circuit ?? LOL)
I'm gonna wait a few hours and peek at mine and see what the culprit is
EDIT: this can also be found in Spare Parts for those that don't have that app yet.

Thanks a lot, that you found it useful. My mission is complete lol.
Correct, under normal conditons having the screen off puts the fone onto sleep mode. Kind of like a soft suspend.
But having a bugger of a program can keep your phone awake, with the screen off.
And you are right, those settings arein spare parts, which most of us have. As this function was ripped out

Noticed some bugs today..... :(

OK so biking to work today noticed a few different bugs I had not noticed so far, coming from iPhone I had never experienced these problems with Apple.
My bluetooth simply will not auto connect to my garmin 510, I have to go into both devices and "forget" paired devices and reconnect a fresh, every time I turn either device off/on.
Headphones crackling at high volume (which isn't really that high to be fair) can't be the headphones as there very high spec. Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum
Just tried to compose an email (original email client) and as I write the email the cursor moves by itself back into the middle of the line im writing making it impossible to write a full line??? WTF?
TBF, at the beginning of this note I seem to compare to Apple, but thinking about it these are basics that should work on any device, I have been perfectly happy with the S4 up until now.... But the 3 jobs I wanted it to do properly today, it's failed at....... miserably!!

OK, So I've managed to write my email. Had to switch to original samsung keyboard (from swiftkey)
Can anybody replicate this error using original email app/swiftkey

I think I've read one or two complaints about the cursor issue. You can just install another keyboard from the Play Store. Thats the joy of android..
About the crackling, there's a whole thread on that topic. It seems that the S4, majorly the qualcomm LTE version I think, has crackling issues when you use headphones with a resistance lower than 14-16 ohms, so you're out of luck as of now until that issue is sorted by Samsung. You can find more info here, just search for it next time:

Mini apps

Hi guys, does anyone else have an issue with the "Mini Apps" function? It's the one where you swipe over the virtual keys and minimizes the screen for one hand operation.
It was working fine when I first got the phone but now it doesn't work anymore even with the option turned on and after reboot.
Am I the only one or is this a bug?

I had issues too at first, but with lots of research, I finally found the solution. To to settings>Accessibility and make sure that Switch Access is turned off.

As far as I can tell, Switch Access doesn't do anything important, so you won't lose any other features.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?

I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.

You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

Broken screen need a little help(just a screenshot really.)

anyone mind grabbing me a screenshot of the pin unlock screen(number combination) usually i use fingerprint but when the device restarts i need to enter a pin and i just broke my screen so I can't see the numbers. A screenshot of the unlock screen with the numbers up would be sooooo helpful. new phones on the way but i need to unlock this one so i can make calls by saying ok google.

Here you go

Thanks man, printed it out to scale with my screen but didn't work sadly. Pretty sure the touchscreen is gone as well as the display. Sucks but whatever I use my phone too much anyway I can take a break for a few days until my replacement arrives. Have a good one.
Thanks again.

No luck. I'm not sure if usb debugging is enabled(pretty sure i enabled it...) and i'm not about to go screwing around in fastboot and recovery without being able to see what's happening. Thanks for your help though i'll just stick it out till Tuesday when the new phone should arrive.
