Factory rom stability?

I am coming from an S2 and been considering an S4 and was wondering about the stability of the factory unrooted rom. I have read several complaints early on about freezes, crashes, and lag but was wondering if Samsung cleared that all up on the update that released after the phone was released. I normally root and run a custom rom but probably won't this time because of having a newborn and with working so much I'll just leave it stock for right now. So anyone with an updated stock GS4, I would greatly appreciate some honest feedback about how it is running. Thanks

He just said unrooted. He means stock ROM as in right when you buy it. The ROM that it comes with. And yes it is stable but could be a little better

The stock ROM (in my case - model SGH-I337M, firmware I337MVLUAMDJ) is very stable, I have yet to experience any freezing or force closes. I'm sitting here with about 300 hours of uptime so far, so it's not bad in my opinion.

I'm currently supporting about 40 s4 in my company, that are unrooted and unmodified, I know what the stock Rom is and I did provide an answer, that it is very stable. I added the additional information that the Google edition Rom is also very stable

I rooted stock but only disabled apps in factory interface, no other mods. No FCs, freeze or lag. I only reboot if I swap batteries.

My S4 was great before I rooted and son has not rooted and his phone is very stable also. I wouldn't hold back on this phone--it's amazing--
PS: There are always going to be negative posts. But, I think 98% of users love this phone--IMHO

stable yes, there is some lag and lots of useless apps etc. i hate carrier bloatware tho, because i travel a lot. last thing i need is useless apps from cosmote or docomo or wind or att on a phone that i cant get rid of; only reason i rooted the GS3 and Atrix 4G was to eliminate carrier bloat (also SIM unlocked them but that is because i travel internationally 1-2 times a month). The GS4 i wanted a faster ROM and to tweak it for my own reasons.
i didnt have any problems with stock rom stability, and it only lagged here and there and i only noticed it after flashing other roms.

I came from the I777 myself and still have mine as a backup (see my profile for evidence). The I337 (GS4) is extremely stable. Once you've killed most of the bloatware and turned off the air features (believe me, you won't need them), this phone becomes extremely awesome. Aside from the feel, the screen is brilliantly clear, and everything runs smoother and eye pleasant compared to the I777. When I had to send back my S4 for screen repair, going back to the S2 was day and night. Dark lighting, smaller build, and (yes) thicker. The durability of the S2 is nice, but that's all it wins.
Just go for it. You won't go wrong (but do get a sturdy case.)

News from OnePlus and Cyanogen on battery drain and new update

This is what Steve Kondik posted on OnePlus forums:
Just a quick update on the power issue in 30O..
Two issues that ended up in the build were identified and fixed. They weren't affecting everyone and were subject to hardware variations and timing, but our engineers worked quickly to get them resolved. The first issue was a very low-level system bus problem, while the second was a problem with how the proximity sensor is used to prevent false unlocks from gestures and double taps. We pride ourselves in the performance and low power consumption of 11S, and after these fixes our lab tests show improved numbers vs. 25R! This will go out as a small hotfix as soon as it's approved. Additionally, we are preparing another update in parallel that brings a few new features, a beautified lock screen, audio enhancements, polish on the new features in 30O, and of course bug fixes.
Both of these new builds are in the final testing and approval phases. I can't give any ETA because we are subject to third parties, but you should see the power hotfix in the next couple of days with the bigger update right on it's heels.
To ensure this doesn't happen again, we are bulking up our automated test systems to cover more cases, more often. Being a startup is both a blessing and a curse- while we can move fast on issues and updates, we are still building our automation and infrastructure. We depend on your feedback to tell us what we're doing right, as well as wrong! Additionally, we are working hard to reduce the time between updates even further so that they are more manageable.
Hang in there for just a bit and that unkillable battery will make a triumphant return.

I dont have that issue, but hope it will help you guys that have it.

Nothing new on this right? Just checked the thread not long ago and it was still in testing.

It was post 4 days ago, nothing new?

It's an old post. Fix still under test and would be released when approved internally in CM. Been waiting for the hotfix since past few days.

This drain is so damn annoying. Been thinking of rolling back but really need the speaker phone fix that came in this update.

I wonder if we go back to 25r if we will have to go to 30O then apply the new update or will they have a "new and improved" fixed 30O? BTW is your ability to have a different wallpaper on your lockscreen than on your home screen broken also?

I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours screen on time... Given I don't get good service for 8 hours, but still. I tried all the "fixes" out there. No luck.

Using the battery monitor widget I noticed my drain to be around 250ma with good signal and screen on, and well over 650ma when no signal. So keep in mind that lack of signal can triple your drain :/

Btw. Someone posted this as a workaround for the battery drain. Dont know how true it is but if you are willing to try...
Flash the Franco R13 kernel*
Quote*
Just pushed r13 which has a newer Touch Panel firmware from CM. Touch sensitivity seems much improved, which is a VERY welcomed plus. Also added support for PS3 controllers via OTG. I'll add MultiRom support on r14. Enjoy
Works fine with double tap to wake and capacitive buttons disabled. good battery life so far

or try and flash AK CM11S version, maybe latest _31b14 w/o changing back to 25R or smth else, (just to give a try as it is easier to change the Kernel than the ROM (you know...restoring stuff ))

Rerooted
I received the update about 2 hours ago. I am on CWM. When I flashed the update I was asked if I wanted to keep my recovery and my recovery was not affected. I did however have to reroot by flashing supersu in recovery. Re flashed Viper4Android and re-enabled xposed no problem. I can not wait for Lollipop for this device. I have the Nexus 5 and gave the final Dev preview a run and it was awesome. There was a 'Miscellaneous' battery drain that I could not pinpoint so I reverted. If it weren't for that I would have kept it on my device. It will sure look awesome on this phone. I think it would be cool if there were more Nvidia green in the OS for the new colorful Lollipop 5.0.

Maybe a problem of the screen protector or could be a software problem??

None of the others did and nvidia allows you to unlock the bootloader so I doubt they'd make an effort to do that. There isn't anything to be worried about either way.

I haven't seen any issues myself but I wouldn't go pulling your screen protector if it was working fine with it before... I have even been swiping out my messages on the forum with my tablet and any device that had touch screen issues before would mess up doing that.

1. Have you registered for the Soak Test for this phone ? (Is this a Soak Test update or an official one ?)
2. How is the performance of the phone ? (Benchmark comparisons, Gaming)

4. Screenshots ? Please ??
5. Can you make a Youtube video review for this ? (You'll get lots of views !! )

Yeah, totally snappier and quick--very excited because to be honest, I was a little disappointed by the phone's performance. T-Mobile, MN, USA.

On Verizon wireless in us no update yet thanks for the heads up however

Same for me. Much snappier feeling. It took quite a while to load some apps initially with 5.0. 5.1 is absolutely better. I'm an android Dev and have access to a lot of more expensive phones and am using this for its amazingly great battery (way better than my 2013 moto x . over double for my use ) and to hold me over until 2015 moto x. Not a bad phone all

New Update August 10th - Stagefright Patch

Seems the Idol 3 is receiving the Stagefright patch! I'm surprised Alcatel is actually keeping up with this phone and releasing needed updates. Now if only we could get Android 5.1 or even Android M.
For those who have rooted, I'm sure you will have to un-root in order to get this via OTA or follow famewolf's thread here.

Cool 5.1.1 would be nice as well

There are 3 different 6045i firmwares in the stock image thread. You could have backed up one at a time till you got one that worked with google voice and didn't have other issues.

But wouldn't that negate the positive results of the most recent update (improved DTTW, etc.)?

hope this don't cause lags.. had the opposite result the last time I've updated..it was a mess

Well, I also use Hangouts Dialer and agree it's not a huge imposition. Still, no other handset I've ever used has had this bug, and I'd like the option of using the native dialer with GV. Regards from New Orleans...A.

Off topic. But how do you like or compare to the blu life one 2015?

I like the Blu Life One LTE quite a bit. Bought it for $99 off Amazon during a pre-order promotion, and have been using out to compare various carriers alongside my Idol 3. Considering that it has only 1 gig of RAM, it's remarkably smooth. Very bright 720p display, good battery life. A paltry 8g of onboard storage, but I'm an app minimalist, and it does take an optional SD card. Dual SIM capability which has come in handy, though you must choose between SD card or SIM 2.
The Idol 3 is considerably more powerful (600-class Snapdragon versus 400; 2 gigs of RAM, bigger, full HD display, etc.). Covers more LTE bands, including Band 12, which is important for T-Mobile users like myself. Substantially better speakers.
I'm somewhat of a phone hobbyist, and have been playing with a number of inexpensive handsets lately (these two and a Lumia 640 -- amazing phone for $100 or less). I've gained new respect for this class of handset. See little or no need to pay flagship prices. But I don't game, so don't tax a CPU as some other users might.
I've been using an HTC One M7 on Verizon, but an going to move to T-Mobile. Coverage is solid here in New Orleans, and for my family (four of us) it's vastly less expensive, with vastly more data.

Hi All --
Wanted to let you guys know a new software update for IDOL 3 users will be released on or around August 10. This update will initially be available to IDOL 3 customers in the U.S. and will address fixes for Google Voice and SMS time stamp issues experienced by some users, as well as a Google security patch for the Stagefright vulnerability. For IDOL 3 customers in Canada, we are working with our carrier partners and hope to have an availability update for this very shortly.

I plan to give it a try and if it works I'll TRY to capture the 6045i update url as I did the previous updates..(I use a transparent squid proxy that all devices in my house go through to get to the internet. It allows me to intercept the url)..if I can get the update.zip downloaded I will make it available and perhaps some users will be able to sideload the update with less hassle.

That would be awesome. I'm in Canada and don't want to have to wait for my carrier to 'Ok' an update for a major security issue like this.

If that could be done for 6045k since I saw one user on this forum from Portugal with K model and 01003 update..
Meaning the update is pushed different from region to region..

I was really hoping I wouldn't have to mess around with anything more on this phone until CM is out for it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pretty sure you will still be able to re-root.
I can confirm that using the Full Unroot method via SuperSU works on this phone. I just ran it out of curiosity and followed the steps and SuperSU is gone from the app drawer and I am able to check for updates. See screenshots:
