That must be a record... [emoji12] ;-)

Solved Can't update galaxy s4
- Thread starter dezymond
- Start date
When you've gotten used to 5yrs of no ads, each and every little ad in all the apps becomes quite an eye sore...
And yeah it's probably my personal record at least. I think initially when I got it, I left it stock for 2 days...

I think it's something that you think is a good idea, but you quickly realize it's not as great as it is once you have it....yeah I'm gonna go with that.
Like having an itch that you can't scratch, huh?

I have noticed radio signal has gone up, but it could be due just to reading it too. At home with 4.2.2, or even 4.4.4 ROMs, I was in the mid to high 90s in dBms. Right now, I'm sitting at mid 80s, and my signal strength in the battery "history details", is all green.
The real test will be later on when I go to some places where I usually get bad signal. So far happy with it though.

Welp at my usual weekly spot for Sunday lunch where I get very poor signal.
Sitting at - 115dBms and 25asu.
Still managing to stay on 4g though.
No doubt there's some improvement, but still pretty sad considering the s4 was a flagship device.
And I think I'm finally getting those XLTE speeds at home. I was getting almost 40mb at home and that's a bit faster than home internet. Before I updated the phone, I was barely getting 25mb average.

We get about 20 over LTE here. I get 50-60 from the cable company.

I've used both Global and just CDMA/LTE mode, doesn't make a difference. Done just about every trick in the book to try and make signal better on this thing and it's just the radios in the device, plain and simple. Samsung talks about being the next best thing, but they're cutting corners on the radios. I'm sure they've improved since the s4, but considering this was a flagship device at one point, it's a bit embarrassing.
The update from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 shows a pretty significant improvement in radio performance, but even then the signals this phone gets are pretty mediocre to the competition.
