Hello,
My S4 I9505 4.4.2 LUX keeps restarting frequently
I reinstalled the official 4.4.2 LUX with ODIN... same problem
I am thinking of downgrading to 4.3
I am currently downloading 4.3 LUX, but it takes many hours at 10 - 20 KB/s for a 1.5 GB ZIP to download... unless I want to pay for a faster service :silly:
I find it unbelievable of Samsung of NOT SOLVING the 4.4.2 S4 restart problem.
Unbelievable that the android S4 versions 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2 are not available on an official Samsung service site!!
So I am thinking/hoping that a German or UK version of 4.3 is available for faster download (MEGA, ...)
A not so happy Samsung customer,
Ivy

Sites like http://samfirmware.com/ and http://sammobilecom/ are official.
Don't downgrade to 4.3 version, unless you don't mind to trip knox flag.
Instead of it, try to do a factory reset and see if the problem persists, if so go to a service center.

I did a factory reset and the problem still persists.
I had a chat with the Samsung "support" and they do not know about the problem...
Just google: random-reboot-problem
buying a LG smartphone next time?

As pfbatista mentioned it is not OK to downgrade to 4.3.
So, I will try another country and more recent 4.4.2.
I am downloading a German DBT version: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YBTGNG8_DBT
Hopefully my S4 will stay alive and not restart every now and then with this version...
I keep you posted
ivybec,
I found this http://www.technobezz.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-automatically-restarting/
Maybe you could try one of these methods?
Do you know if the problem also affects the I9500 (Exynox)?

Hello Marcello,
Thank you for the link!
I didn't know this site.
Right now I am re-installing 4.4.2 and hope for the best.
If the restarts continue, I will try one-by-one the proposed methods.
I don't know if the problem is also on I9500.
Rgds,
Ivy
I did not have any unwanted restarts anymore

Hello,
Since my re-installation of android 4.4.2 (black edition = latest version?) a DBT (German free version) instead of the Belgian LUX (Belgium free version), I did not have any unwanted restarts
Maybe the new version (black edition) solves some problems (I don't see any difference with my previous version though)
Or, this time, I flushed caches and the S4 was reformatted... that probably solved the problem.?
Kies 3 sees the DBT version as genuine
Hopefully the end of my Samsung misery,
Ivy

[Q] How to fix the Recent App cards lag/jitter issue in GTI9500 Lollipop ?

I have started seeing the following issues in my S4 GTi9500 (India firmware - I9500XXUHOC1) :
1. Long press Home button to access recent app cards has become too slow to repond when there are lot of app cards in there. [I have S voice disabled]. It is comparatively faster when there are maximum 3 or 4 recent app cards.
2. Scrolling through the recent app cards is too laggy and jittery like a video game running at only 10 fps.
phone has all the updates installed. Also the latest incremental update that was release a few days ago.I thought it would fix the issue but it did not.
What i have already tried :
1. Cache clear.
2. Factory reset.
3. clearing some phone storage.
NONE of this helped
Questions:
1. Are any of you also facing this issue on GTI9500? I have checked a nexus 5 and on it the recent app cards work flawlessly.
2 I have only updated using OTA. Would it help if I download the firmware from Sammobile and then use Odin to flash it again( I tried this for kitkat once, at that time was facing some issue with lock screen but it did not help.). So can flashing using Odin get rid of the issues?
3. I am pretty tired of samsung's updates so is there any stable CM lollipop available for GTI9500 exynos version? If npot is there any stable Kitkat build availabe? Please post the links if yes.
ANY solution to this problem would be appreciated. Tired of Samsung updates
it 's a known bug maybe in next update this issue will be solved
I've got the same issue on my i9505. So it's a common problem, I hope they will solve it soon

Plis
Please someone who knows how to carry a rom cyanogen mod 12 for this model beg a teacher to do us the favor of carrying a plis unstable although we would be very grateful I was
Anyone tried this link....? I saw this link on YouTube. There are links for ROM & Gapps in the description of this video. Also it clearly shows Model number and everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fQYfkzvZCo
Deception
If we review it is a hoax that's been going around on the net it is really nothing more than a lie and only changed the model build.pro to display the model number, deception.
Same here for SM-E700H. I didnt get any news and lollipop update till now
Any Update?
Guys any update on whether the E7 will get the update?
Well, some websites say as a leak that the E5 and E7 with devices like A3 and A5 will get the Marshmallow update as a second phase of updates after the confirmed devices gets updated from Samsung, let's hope that leak is true.
I guess lollipop not allowed for E7 variants.
Marshmallow sounds good. I read article there's a lot of privacy features up there.
