Why is 4.4.2 slower? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated to 4.4.2 and rooted it but it feels bit laggy. Is it a problem with rom or its just me?
I heard someone saying the same on someother forum.

Didn't use the phone much after it, but i didn't notice any difference....Oh well
Keep in mind its just 16mb update mostly security/patches but i think and feel it's much faster smoother then before.
I think we'll get another update in the following weeks with bigger changes.
Ya I noticed it was pretty small, what we want is KITKATTTTTTTTT

thanks but i knew that already, what i meant was that most regions have no 4.3 update yet(only 3 or 4 countries) and its been 2 weeks since the supposed "rollout" started
guess i will have to flash again, how lame

I don't think this voids your warranty, because you are still on stock firmware....you don't need root or a custom recovery!
Just got an OTA from MJ5 to 8. Phone generally feels the same. Nothing new observed by me other than "maybe" a little better RAM management.

Overlock and firmware change

Hello.
I have 4.2.2 version with Omega rom.
I recently overlocked my S4 to 1.89 (1 cpu) 1.89 (2 cpu).
It was weird because i saw overlocking till 2.60 in youtube.
Why my limit is 1.89 and other limits are higher overlock?
I want now to go to 4.3 official and then to the new Omega Rom.
How can i do that?
As i suppose i will loose all of my files?

I have no idea about overclock... But if you need to ask if rooting is a good idea, then maybe it's not right for you.

The stock speed of the SGS4 is 1.89 so you weren't overclocking at all

Second cpu was clocked at 384 mhz when i open the programm.
All European there must be.
As it concerns the 4.3 i can root it and then pass omega?

I9500 freeze when enter to camera/gallery/3G

hey guys,
I know that the S4 has a lot of bugs and problems. i had a damaged battery before a month and already replaced to a new one. but now i have other problems.. when i enter to the camera or gallery or browser trough 3G/2G my phone freezes and wont turn on unless i take out the battery and return.
tried to upgrade to the newest build of 4.3 and a few older builds of 4.3 but same thing, none helps.

this answer is crap...
Try to flash the new firmware with repartition and the right pitfile. That will do a full wipe and a clean install. I have had the same issues, tried a lot of things and nothing was helping me... This solution works for me and Knox wouldn't trip!
best regards

Flashing any official firmware - so long as it's same as you have got or an upgrade - won't trip KNOX. - If you try to downgrade to different versions you encounter KNOX issues.

You can not downgrade!
Try to see what is holding wakelocks - possibly stuff like the indexer/finder service that is "kept in a loop" by certain files (for instance unusual PDFs or video/audio).
Also see if you can disable some of the things going on the network in the background.

I updated to this firmware a couple of days ago, since this version is March build and whenever I update I always do a factory reset and wipe cache. But I think this must be a system problem :-S
Same problem here, since the update with 4.4.2 ITV firmware in Odin my battery life sucks because of Android System (19% today) and Android OS (12%). I was unable to find any indication on how to fix this anywhere. :crying:
However those two are preventing the phone getting into deep sleep mode!
Any solution guys?

Your drainage is about the apps running in background (bloatware) and the brightness screen. Disable system apps through Settings - More - Application Manager - Tab ALL and disable apps that u installed (You can use Greenify app for it) :highfive:
