Galaxy s4 overheating?

I have a stock Galaxy S4 I337M with Telus. I am not playing game and when I check the temperature in *#0228# option, its write that my phone temperature is 50 degree. I have no option activate and my luminosity is at auto. Also, its always the top of my phone that became hot. Is that normal?
Sorry if my english is not very good, I come from Montreal and im not billingual

CPU is located on top of your phone, hence the hotter than other locations. I believe its normal getting that hot. Just browsing websites gets my phone to heat up but I don't have a problem with it. Phone being this thin has to transfer heat somehow and someway. I just wish that the back cover was something other than pastic type of material since plastic isn't great at heat tranfer.

Do you have an external SD card installed by any chance? I had a similar problem and it turned out that a corrupt media file on my external card was causing media scanner to run continuously which was was heating up the phone and draining the battery quickly. Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331101 . I solved the problem by deleting the file that was causing it and also I used the app Nomedia by Droida to stop media scanner from looking in my videos directory.

Yes I have a 64gb sd card. What I gave to do for this?

Try unmounting and removing the card temporarily. See if you still get high temperatures at idle. If you do then it could be the media scanner finding a corrupt file on the card. If not, then you don't have the same issue as me.

Hey are any of you guys running Omega or any i9505 roms on your i337m? I can't seem to find a compatible kernel I have tried ktoonez t-mobile kernel but does anyone know any others?

Omega with the T-Mobile KTSGS4 Kernel does work on the i337M. My friend is running that on his S4 without any issues. Its just critical that you are running it with the T-Mobile kernel.

Thanks for answering me I know this isn't the right thread.... But I'm trying to find a kernel that runs cooler than stock because my phone gets damn hot playing games... Are all t-mobile kernels Ok to try?

Photo Lag?

Hi
Does anyone have the problem of extreme choppyness and lag when zooming into a photo in the gallery and panning around?
It also seems to happen in quickpic too, and it's very strange indeed. Also quite embaressing when showing your mates a photo and its lagging like hell.
This isn't a problem on the HTC Evo 3d and One S, and tbh any other recent phone I've had. Seems to be Samsung specific and it has persisted on different roms. I'm currently stock 4.1.2 rooted.
Any suggestions? It seems ridiculous how Samsung have not corrected this.

Just seems to be a bug. Do you not have this problem? Power saver mode is on on my HTC One S and it's smooth as butter when panning a photo.

Tick force gpu rendering in developer settings, it's a quick fix at least.

Very strange then. I have had it from the beginning.
I'm on the LTE version though
Sent from my Galaxy Note II LTE using Tapatalk

Yes I have this too.
While my nexus 7 with the crappy Tegra SoC doesn't lag at all when viewing photos. Makes me think it's only samsung's terrible rom optimization/drivers...
Does AOSP/CM roms have this issue as well?

Yes it lags for me also. I have 2000-3000 photos in gallery and it lags
I'm on stock 4.1.2 with root, and im using 64gb SanDisk ultra.

Man, are you sure that Samsung is responsible for everything you did on your rooted phone? Where's your responsibility?
I'm still sitting on 4.1.1 (stock) and everything is ok, no lag (except when go into Widgets and when you clean your RAM).

Yeah I am sure it is Samsung/the rom. I've done nothing much at all on my rooted phone and this also occurs after a fresh non rooted wipe and also on the 4.1.1 rom. Rooted or unrooted, and fresh from a wipe.
This does not happen on my HTC ONE S or any other HTC Android phone I have had. Rooted or unrooted. The gallery app in general is laggy as hell too but I'll put that down to how many photos I have.
The lag I'm refering to is related to when you pan around a zoomed photo which was taken with the phone camera. And this also applies to non-stock gallery apps.
Will not be taking any responsibility here whatsoever and fully lay the blame at Samsung's door.

Well if you have root...try to use a custom firmware.....if you still have warranty you could claim it....best bet is firmware change....unless its a hardware issue....but in this case I think its a software issue....so check into it

Ultra Power Saving Mode on S4 I9500

Dear devs and users, I want to know whether Ultra Power Saving Mode presented in S5 is Software dependent or hardware. . ??
As far as of my concern, it is software dependent. . If so, can it be ported to S4 Sock KitKat 4.4.2 ??
