A major problem with my I9500! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I had my i9500 s4 for like 5 months now.. never had a problem, but now.. It restarts randomly and a lot of items there is no sound at all or very low sound, I never messed with it!
That was on stock rom + Preseus kernel.. I installed custom rom with latest preseus kernel and no success, same problem

I was already full stock and faced that problem, will try again though, thanks a lot

I hope you don't experience any of the below things to otherwhise you have to replace your battery
do you have only battery drains or also random reboots?
the fact is that samsung shipped out a bad serie of batteries (which is confirmed by Samsung) their serial starts with BD
the symptoms of a bad battery are:
Huge battery drain
random reboots
while rebooting the phone hangs at samsungs logo
battery is swelling
phone shutting down while you have an incomming call/sms
when you are the "lucky one" to experience one of the above symptoms please replace your battery asap under warranty
if you don't do this you risk a phone exploding in the pocket of your pants this is not only painfull for your phone but also for "everything else" whats in there

yup, i had this after running a custom rom for a few days. i'm sure it wasn't the rom though, i restored back to stock last night just in case, we'll see.
However, in the future, please also post your ROM, kernel, etc.
For example, having your phone OC might result in such random reboots...

I didn't change the kernel and I don't want to name the ROM because I'm sure it's not its fault - it was fine for a few days with plenty of reboots and activity/usage. Sounds like others on stock have the same problem (not necessarily related to the camera issue), so I've gone back to my stock backup and will see what transpires.

I understand you, but it is not like blaming the ROM creator. Is that you might have discovered a bug, and you can help to get it solved.
personally, the first thing I would do is to make a factory reset. This is not the case for you any more... but however.
Good luck and please tell us got things go on...
Fair enough, it was slim bean build 6 on Verizon. I reverted to my stock twrp backup last night (10hrs ago) and been fine so far...

[i9500] Android OS draining battery and high CPU usage

I dont know if this is the Android 4.2.2 problem itself or something wrong with my device. But the Android OS in Battery setting didnt drain this much on my galaxy s3 running 4.1.2.
please tell me about it as I have tried:
- Factory Reset
- Stock Rom
- Various Custom Rom (Omega v9, Crash, Wanam 1.8)
And nothing works.

Yeah I've faced the same issue when I play any game or something. So at that time I used to restart my phone to reduce my cpu usage. It used to worked me. Before restarting It was more than 50% and after restarting it usually became around 20%. So I used to do like that only until I got the awesome OTA updates from samsung. I've updated my galaxy S4 now It's battery backup is awesome and the CPU usage is now below 15%. So try to update ur firmware via OTA.
Everything will be fine....:good:

I9505 Problem

Hello good people of XDA i own a gs4 for about a year. Absolutelyawesome phone, ... But recently i've had some problem.
Ok so let me explain if i was to lock my phone for longer time not touch it (1 hour or half an hour) when i unlock touchwizz freezes tho i can use things like notification bar.
So i tried fixing it. it happened to me before
- my phone is rooted
-it's not the battery
The only thing that helps is install a custom rom or install a custom rom and then revert to stock.
And i do root the phone, i know i can fix it clean install custom rom then stock rom, but i really have a lot of stuff on my phone.
I am using stock rom all the time and it could be that the problem is Root or something i really dont have a clue
I apologize if i posted incorrectly please let me know if you have a soulution im glad to take it

I dont think its the battery because you see if i install custom rom then stock its fixed for about 2 weeks then it "comes back" the problem
Idk i can try with a new battery maybe it'll do the trick

Were you experiencing this problem on stock kernel?
It might be worth Returning to Stock and seeing if the problem persists. That way you can narrow the problem down to whether it was caused by user intervention or if it's in fact a hardware problem.
Have you tried any other ROMs, Kernels? Or have you only ever been having this issue with Stock 20F with Dori?

It's also quite possible that your phone is growing a conciousness and it's slowly becoming self aware. Now it's just enjoying playing tricks on you when it's in your pocket :silly:.

First of all, thx for your reply :highfive:
Hmm... i don't remember if i was on stock kernel or not the first time the problem came.
I will follow your advise and back to stock kernel and i see what happens
I've never tried another ROMs, only base on stock (stock OPEN). But yes maybe my phone is trying to communicate...
I will test kernel stock and i'll be back :fingers-crossed:
thx
Ok... with KK Stock Kernel, i still have this bug... :/
But i read that it could be a problem of version (20F)... some users have this bug too. Update to 20G or not ? or be patient and update to LP ?
any suggestions ? :/
More than 6 month later, i still have this curious bug :/

try to Odin Flash a stock ROM and check.
Remember to Wipe Cache and Dalvik if you make any changes to System.
