[GALAXY S4] BUG THREAD!! Found a bug?

[GiantJay]

So i bought a samsung galaxy s4 last week, and so far i was really impressed by it. but today when i
woke up i saw that it was almost dead.
So i thought that i forgot to put it in the charger, but i didnt. it was connected correctly but it wasent charging.
So i put the charger out-and then in again but now it only vibrates every 10 seconds then it shuts itself down.
It shows a picture of the battery and like buffer logo (you know like those on youtube) in a circle inside the battery, but not the usual green at the bottom when the battery is charging,
I dont know whats wrong? so i put the charger in it vibrates the gray picture of the battery shows up, then it fades away?? i dont understand last night it was charging and working prefectly.
So i just wont charge, so whats the problem. PLEASE HELP it costed me alot of money and it would be sad if it broke now...what should i do??? help

Take it back to the store where you bought it.

Whatsapp disable auto media download trick
I have noticed on the new whatsapp that the feature to disable auto download of media has been removed so I searched and found a trick that i hadto fiddle with so now I am going to share it with you all.
I just got my s4 less than 24 hrz ago. I got mine to work by completely uninstalling whatsapp.i then went and downloaded version 2.8.9108 by searching for it in google and installed it and switched off my wifi so it doesn?t auto update. I changed the date on the phone to 31 dec 2012 then proceeded to setup the whatsapp. After it asks me to continue for the last tym and I see my chat screen, I switch to flight mode. I then go to into whatsapp then settings chat setting and switch auto download off. I then switch flight mode off and wifi back on and update whatsapp from playstore and go to settings and chat settings and the auto download option is back there and it works perfectly.

Ps : my phone is not rooted

I have rotation turn off randomly on the S3 as well. I thought they would have fixed that by now.

I have a question, not sure it's a bug or not, or just me doing something wrong.

When I had the note 2 and I went on a website and downloaded a font I was able to use it... but with the S4, went to the same site to download the same font.. I could see it when I go in my settings to change the font, but when I press OK to select it.. it says "Font not available"

Does S4 support different file type? (the font was .apk)

Hello!
I just got an S4 and it has a problem with the camera. It's not working at all! It's just a black screen and after a while it says 'camera failed'
I already restarted my phone 3 times and did a soft reset...
I really hope it's a system bug and it can be fixed.

Hi, I have a strange bug.
When I launch the camera app, the camera dont show any image and restarts the phone, and after the reboot doing the same thing doesn't cause a reboot and the camera app works fine.
Looking for information, in other page I found this:

Go to developer options and change "limit background processes" to 4. It should work.

This actually worked for me.

I hope it will be useful

I work in mobile accessories and we got three S4's from Samsung. That was good news, we thought..
2 of the three phones have the same problems:

-Gallery does not work, it either act like it's opening and goes back to home screen, or nothing happens at all except a frozen phone for a good 20 seconds.
-Almost every app I open crashes after some time.
-WIFI connection is ridiculous. It disconnects every hour. They say it's with Belkin routers and that it's solved with an upgrade. Not true. (this is for all three phones)
-From the moment i start camera till the moment camera is open it takes around 10 seconds.
-I can't record.....
-The fantastic 'Cloud agent has stopped' message pops up 20 times a day. (This is for all three phones)

And then it's Instagram, of course. Not Samsung's fault, I guess.

We've had both on service and received new phones. Of the new phones one is having the exact same issues.
I'm just REALLY happy I didn't pay for this..

Does Samsung have a record of fixing any of the bugs reported? Or does everyone put up with the bugs?

If you activate the developers option, you can send reports of the bugs

Okay I read somewhere on here that their alarm did not go off. Mine didn't this morning!!! I woke up 35 minutes late! I've set the alarm to go off everyday Monday-Friday and I checked repeat weekly but for some reason it did not go of this morning!

Did you make sure the speaker wasn't covered or the phone laying on its back ? the sound tends to be very low if the speaker is covered
