I am using this mobile since it was launched, good mobile with all useful options in your hand. I suggest Samsung to launch new mobile with high speed, good battery backup, good camera and having all S4 features in it. I can ensure you that I will be the first purchaser 

I bought this phone about june 2013 and I'm still using it. Overall, it's been a good phone. Right now I have 4072hrs. uptime and counting since last time it's been restarted. I might end up using it for several more years.

anno holic, 21 May 2018Hi,
I would try to delete the dalvic cache. An error in the cache might cause your problem.
... moreHEY
Thanks for your answer. But the phone doesn't want to get to the boot menu. I've tried it but I get blocked at the "android is downloading" till the battery is discharged. So plz tell me another thing, because I've tried to install the official rom 5.0 but Odin always tell me that it is failed.

I would try to delete the dalvic cache. An error in the cache might cause your problem.
How to wipe the cache partition:
1.: shut down your phone
2.: hold volume up + home key + powerbutton about 5 sec
3.: you should have entered the boot menue
4.: sadly I don't know the exact steps, but try to navigate to something like "wipe cache" or so.
5.: delete the cache (this will not delete your personal data)
6.: restart your phone
good luck!

angry customer, 06 Nov 2017i dont know whats wrong with this phone but it is always very VERY HOT whenever i use it..i me... moreYou probably have one or more apps that are constantly running and overheating your CPU, that's bad for battery life and makes the phone run slowly... also isn't too good for the battery itself. Easiest, simplest way to deal with it is to get Cooler Master (free) at the play store. It will scan for the bad boys and let you know which apps are the problem. Thereafter it can automatically shut them down when they overuse the CPU (you decide which apps to allow this behavior for) or you can remove the apps that are problematic. I would say look for updated versions that don't do that, but if you're running stock and by the rules they are already updated and that itself may be one of the problems! I will add that my battery life can be as high as two days running cool, but lucky to get an hour sometimes, the phone does NOT handle heavy useage well! Good luck.

John-John, 31 May 2017please allow to update on 7.0 (Nougat) because this device is very smart and higher version is... moreYou can root your phone and then install nougat custom ROM, but I wouldn't yet, go with an earlier build, the Nougat roms are still in beta and missing features. I'm running Lolipop right now because Marshmallow manages the SD card in ways I don't like. But if you don't mind either losing the ability to read your SD card in your PC or being unable to control how the phone formats and uses the SD card, which you probably don't, go with Marshmallow, it's nice. I like the ressurrection remix rom, personally. google it xda resurrection remix 19500... have fun.

Rif, 02 Apr 2018@Tiara; "sd card is damage need to format or safe to remove or sd card amount..."; what size i... moreYou can go to settings, storage scroll down to the sd card and eject it, if it is damaged it may not be showing up at all. If it was formatted as external storage or just off the shelf you can try to repair it in windows put it in an sd slot or sd card reader, plug it into the PC and hit: START, in "search programs and files" type: cmd.exe right click on that and click on run as administrator. then type in the window that opens: chkdsk X /f /r [replace the 'X' with the Drive letter of your SD.] if it is formatted as internal phone memory, the windows operating system cannot access it to attempt repair or recovery. You can format it with free software one such (free can be got here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
As to that, if the card failed because it was physically damaged, you might be able to recover some data off it, but you should NOT afterward try to use it, it's garbage now. Officially the i9500 supports up to a 64 GB sd card a class 6 will meet your needs since the phone can't use anything faster. I am using a 128 GB SD in my S-4 with no problems but can't swear you won't have problems if you try the same, if you can't read the sd card at all download one of the free programs to attempt recovery, there are several available, One is DiskDigger available free for android or windows: https://diskdigger.org/ Hope that answers your question and is helpful.

What disk format does it use? FAT32? ExFAT? Check this on a PC.
FYI I use a 32GB card with FAT32 on SGS4, I never had any problem.
