Samsung Galaxy S4

Paranoid android isn't too great, it's like bare minimum Android.
On the S4, the pure nexus Google edition is the best. Looks nice, more complete.

On my note 8.0 I'm using paranoid and thinking of trying CM nightlies instead.

How's the Slimkat? I normally download for a friend, currently his on Pac rom.

Google edition is only available for i9505. PA is almost identical to pure android anyway, so the differences are moot. It is minimal compared to CM for instance as you say...

You guys also get the email notifying of the "Cancellation of Samsung ADH Plus Insurance Policy"?

My screen has one or two very faint scratches on it, wonder if I should make use of ADH before it's no more...

Adh screen replacement is not being cancelled. Only the insurance stuff. I am insured with my home contents.

I am in the process of a ADH screen replacement they didnt say anything. Screen is ordered...waiting for it to arrive and be installed.

So my phone just randomly started going into a boot cycle last night. I haven't installed any apps or updated the software. You will be using it and then it just turns off and starts booting up over and over again. Only way to stop is to take the battery out.

ideas...

 

[Park@82]

ideas...

Try without a microsd in case that could be it... then eliminate any software problems by factory resetting.

if the above fails chuck it in the pool and claim ADH

don't have a micro sd card. Didn't feel like resetting but guess i'm going to have to..

I know the feeling... not sure what else to try, perhaps also re-seat the sim card.

NOOOO!!!!

Boot it into Recovery Mode by holding down Power, Volume Up and Home button, then whipe Dalvik Cache and Partition and Reboot System.

May I also ask, do you have a case on your GS4? Check that it isn't holding down one of your volume buttons as that can cause the phone to act weird when booting up, also check that your Volume buttons aren't bent.
