[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 very slow charging - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my phone and flashed the latest 4.4.3 Pure Nexus GPE by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 and Ktoonsez. And it's been charging for so long, like 9 hours to fully charge from 14% battery. This has happened to my i9505 since I rooted it and installed custom ROMs, all GPE. What should I do? What is the problem? Please help

Hi I have the same problem with my i9505, I got it second hand with 4.2.2 stock if I remeber correctly, I dont know if it was previously rooted but I flashed the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4 on it, then tried 2 different stock firmwares (current is stock I9505XXUGNG8) and that didnt change nothing. I charged it with a black Samsung charger 2.0A then tried an 2.1A ipad charger, I bought a new U2 Samsung microusb data cable. Still 8 to 9 hours for a full charge.
Did you find a solution to the problem?

Download ktweaker for your phone and install it/zip it. There you can change to fast charging. My phone charges now really fast. But beware that it can cause a short life time of the battery
Ps. Sry for my bad englisch

[Q] Galaxy s4 i9505 question..

hi everybody.
I have a samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 which is rooted running echo rom 4.3 and all of a sudden my phone has started to reboot itself constantly..(rebooted about a dozen times already today and ive only been awake about 2 hours!!)
What i was wondering is...
Can i go back to my 4.2.2 backup i made in recovery and then flash the official 4.3 update with odin (i know this will trigger knox but i need my phone to work)
If there are any other suggestions anyone has which will not trigger knox it would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks.
What is your battery serial number?!

Maybe just start with going back to 4.2.2 and see if that fixes the problem first.
Then take it from there if u wanna choose a custom knox free rom or not
Hi,
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
^^^^^^^
Thanks for the info man.I'll let my wife test out my phone when I get it friday.

There is no unusual battery drain in 4.4.2 if not factory reseted do it, it will fix your problem, u can't go back to 4.3 now.
If you do a google search you will see there are many many users affected by the battery drain bug. Im yet to find a fix.

S4 MK6 Help??

My S4 has MK6 (resulted from the 4.3 update OTA as I pulled it out of the box), rooted and TWRP installed.
Currently running Skyfall 4.4.2 ROM. Battery life seems HORRIBLE and the vibration is VERY week (with each ROM i've tried).
Also running the Zerolemon 7500mah Battery that doesn't seem to fully charge, but drains quickly.
The question is that if I take 4.4.2 from samsung mobile's site and load via Odin, will it lock up the phone from being rooted and
installing custom recovery again?
So far, I"m unhappy with the S4..... but it's my own fault for rooting and testing ROMs, I suppose..... but that's all I ever did with my
S3 with very positive results.
Suggestions and help guys???
Thanks

The sammobile may change your bootloader, if you stay on 4.3 your bootloader will stay MK6 which means you can use a 4.4.2 rom or 4.3 rom, if you update the bootloader to NC1 you will only be able to load 4.4.2 roms. You don't mention what baseband your on so I will assume it is MK6. You may see some battery improvement going to NC1 modem (flashed through odin PC ... twice.. you will see in the instructions) I am sure there are some near stock roms out there for 4.4.2 ... Mapleleaf is close to stock. As for battery life, it depends on what you have running on the phone. I can get 2 days on mine if I don't fool around too much. urrently 2 days 4 hours 37 minutes, screen on time 1 hour 23 minutes... 40% left... I turn off all data after 10pm and don't have gps running. You can check what is using the battery with wake lock detector, maybe you have a something that is not allowing the phone to go to deep sleep.
Thank you! Valuable info! Yes, baseband is MK6...... I'll try loading the 4.4.2 from sammboile and see what happens.........
Will post results.
Any suggestions on other ROMs for our Canadian S4? I like TW ... Can't stand the look of AOSP

Try Mapleleaf .. its 4.4.2 tw pretty much stock except the kernel I have been running it for over a month now, no reboots or issues.... probably want to update your baseband to NC1, won't affect your bootloader, just modem. It is important to follow the instructions with PC odin (take off auto reboot flag) and wait for it to finish. I flashed it twice as the instructions suggest doing so.

Samsung s4 5.0.1 problems

Hi
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 with 4.4.2 official,some days ago I install Android 5.0.1 official, the rom is I9500XXUHOA7 from Russia with Odin 3.09, the installation was normally I use the option AP.
But i have the next problems:
- The screen of the phone too hot on top only with normal use without playing.
- The battery lasts much less.
Is there any way to return 4.4.2 or solve these problems
Thanks
Odin it back to 4.4.2 thats what I had to do wait for 5.1 to see if it fixes up these pesky bugs.
I believed im the only with top screen hot.

Battery & Gestures
I like the lollipop update except two things battery,something I think Sammy needs to address, second problem is that the Gestures are not fully working i.e scrolling when using stock browser. I've tried both Russian and Indian firmwares both same result. Anyone notice this or anything else?
Oh! dirov if you do downgrade make a backup & bk your imei. Report back how you get on, Good Luck!

Fast charge

I've seem to lose all fast charging capabilities ever since I've flashed cm12.1 on my SM-N910G running latest 5.1.1 coh4
Now I'm on note5 kyubi rom 5.1.1 with the latest bootloader and modem.
It doesn't show fast charging notification nor at lockscreen. It only shows charging and it charged like 3hrs for max charge. Is there a way to fix this? Before I refresh the stock firmware and try again.

The better way to fix it, is to flash a stock rom
