Overheating issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear guys,
I got my I9500, and found that it overheats when playing any simple game or surf the net or actually do anything.
Then I flashed some kernels and new roms but the problem still exists.
Yesterday I went to tmobile and found that their phone which is continuing playing videos is COLD.
I don't think this is due to the cores, I feel that I have something wrong in my phone.
Any help plsssss

The first two pages of this forum section have no less than 5 active threads at this moment discussing that exact same question.
And most of those times it's ID 10 T error.

Hindsight is 20/20..[Kill this thread]

Started this thread about Zero Hero before I was aloud to post in the Dev threads (yes i was a noob, still am) But I have learned since then....So I edited it in the hopes that no one will post anything else in here and the thread will die!!! I know I bumped it by editing....but lets let this thread die.....
Please take all comments about Zero Hero to the proper Development thread---> Zero Hero Sense 3.5
this shouldve been posted in the roms thread.
Or not at all

About to give it a go...will keep you posted. From what I read on the other side of the forums (where I am not allowed to post) it is pretty stable.....

How is it running? I'm running it on my phone for about half a day and it seems okay.. i was expecting it to run a little bit faster! And r u having problems with sms because I can't seem to receive any messages?
Sorry, I know im a NOOB and all, but is this not the general discussion forum? This is a general discussion about a particular ROM....If i am wrong please correct me and I will gladly STFU and keep my comments to myself.
And for the record the ROM is quite sluggish, reboots when disconnected and reconnected to/from a car charger, incoming calls went straight to VM when answered, mad battery drain, will not reconnect to WIFI....not sure about messages yet...
But on the bright side, it is eye candy.

It always will be sluggish because Sense is a memory hog and the Hero has small memory to begin with. I personally don't run into any reboot excepts for the few after the first boot. As for calls and texts I can't test that because my Hero is deactivated. But I haven't had any issues with WiFi ever on my builds both with college WiFi up in Santa Cruz and at home here in San Diego.

Just calling it like i see it. Not knocking any work, as it is way over my head. The WIFI just kept reverting to "error", no text messages came through, but they did save to Google voice so i did find them...but when I couldn't pick up the calls, I had to abandon this one for now...
Everything else looks awesome from here!
Yea there is a sms problem with this rom.. many of my friends called me asking why I didn't reply to their message but I never received em. Other than that this rom is very nice!!
Fix has already been worked up.

Just wanted to put in my two cents on this rom. I absolutely love this rom. I tend to run aosp Roms since they are pretty lightweight for our processor and quick. This rom isn't as fast as an aosp rom can be. It does however run quick enough that I don't mind the occasional hang up or lag. I hadn't ran a sense rom in over a year and a half. But I do like this one.
I tend to only use my phone to make calls, the occasional text, and to tether my tablet which this rom seems to do wonderfully. When I was running jaybobs rom I was happy with the clock settings at 352 and 532. I have it cranked up to 768 with this rom. Never had been able to overclock that high until his kernal and was actually a major reason I tried this rom.
You would think that after being a member of xda for more than a year that I would have more than 3 posts but most of the time you guys explain stuff well enough that I don't need to ask any questions.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the developers and people that are willing to answer questions. It is always appreciated even if us "lurkers" don't let you know.
Thanks

From a previous lurker, time to quit lurking!!! We need more posters so we can have stuff to talk about! Like MattCrystal said, there's a lot of us out there, so let's post and make it known.
(And I'll try not to shoot down any more stupid questions... unless they're deserving)

I 100% agree....LONG LIVE ZERO HERO
The RC1 zero hero kicks ass!!
probably one of the fastest sense roms for me.
how do you check to see if the cpu is being clocked correctly.
i keep using and leaving sense because the lag is insane compared to asop.

Its a 2 year old phone.. your asking it to do something it CAN'T do. Fact.
I would like to just stop in and say thanks to all who have worked on this. Have not been into the droid scene for long but have learned so much. This rom is my favorite sense type rom. Small time issues that can be overlooked are fine by me. And after backing this rom up and then booting back into stock. Then using titanium backup to back up Sprint TV and a few other things. Then Booting back into Zero Hero and restoring those apps they work flawless. (sorry i have a child who likes to watch that sprint tv, keeps her occupied when im busily getting something done)
Thank you all of you guys. Out of 5 roms i have tried me and my girlfriend like this one the best.

[Q] Intermittent Bluetooth and Wifi

Hi,
I recently got my GS4 for Sprint about a month ago, and have it rooted under the ShabbyPenguin 3.4.0 kernel running Android 4.2.2.
I noticed that the Bluetooth is intermittent in my car, many times skipping out back to handset mode, and WiFi is not strong, not picking up my AP from 10-15 feet away.
I was wondering if this could be a software/kernel root issue or a defect in the hardware.
Would Sprint be able to fix this if I unroot the phone? I've had it for about a month now.
Thanks in advanced!
That definitely sounds odd. Was it happening before you rooted? You could also try flashing a different ROM and kernel and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for your reply.
I actually rooted the device a day or two after I got it so I was never able to fully test the BT/WiFi. I haven't used any other roms, I saw that the only working kernel was shabbypenguin's since all the other ones had root lock or something. (i don't really know what I'm talking about) Would taking a backup of the rom restore everything including kernels?
I would think it's a hardware issue since the BT/Wifi is probably on the same chip, but what are the chances of a hardware defect on these mass produced phones? :\
Thanks

Just a solution to this issue: Phone was faulty, the wifi/bt radio antenna was an issue. Had to warranty $50 for a refurb'd replacement, f'ing Sprint

Low Wi-Fi signal

Hi everybody.
I have the feeling that our S4 has a very weak Wi-Fi. My other phone is a zopo 950+ and while this device still gets a signal, the S4 already lost it or can not even find it.
I have searched on xda, but couldn't find anything.
In ARHD thread there is a WiFi fix, but since I am still on rooted stock ROM I am not sure about that.
Is there anything what I can do about it?

Well I am very satisfied with wifi maybe you should put router to G network instead of B
Is a long shot but.

Random reboots. What is the cause?

Hi
Is there anything on Android like Event manager on Windows, where I can go back and check what caused the crash?
I'm on SuperStock kernel and Superman Rom. Not changed much, besides having Xposed with Greenify and Amplify (with only a few standard alarms blocked).
Suddenly I got a Clash Royale crashed, then 3 vibrations and then a reboot. Would love to go back to see what caused the issue.
Thanks in advance
Good luck getting help with this on this site. I've asked a very similar question twice here over the past 4 mo. and have heard nothing from anyone. Disappointing.

I don't know if this happens on all XDA or just in this forum, I remember a while ago there are a huge community to help on anything, but that was when I owned a lot of sony phones...
anyways....
OP, u should check your rom/kernel thread to see if someone has that problem,u maybe need a log to know exactly whats happening (and help to solve the cause), check thread first though, maybe the answer is there
