To investigate battery sensor and 3rd GALAXY S4, the thermal problem (1/2)

Boasting a variety of shooting modes "But GALAXY S4", the performance of the auto also quite unique. Even when you turn off the shutter without thinking anything, you take a picture beautiful enough

Equipped with a full HD organic EL display of high-definition about 5 inches, of Samsung Electronics Co. to be able to enjoy beautiful photos and video segment and also, the "GALAXY S4 SC-04E".

Behavior is a crunchy with quad-core processor of 1.9GHz, of course, the camera features are substantial, such as a variety of shooting modes and 13.2 million pixel CMOS.

At leisure went out this summer, there was little chance of a digital camera.


And he went out to have only GALAXY S4 was held a month to "Tokyo Bay Dahua offerings made by fire," but, where it encounters a bit of trouble.

During the fireworks, If I had to leave to start the camera GALAXY S4 for more than an hour, the body would have a fever, the camera he became unable to start at last.

This day extremely hot day the temperature exceeds 30 degrees even at night. Also in fireworks venue crowded with a lot of people, it was repeated or was outside radio waves or even connected.

Or partly because of that, battery level also decreased in a moment. To tragically low battery by the time I return.

Fireworks shot with GALAXY S4 of "Tokyo Bay Dahua offerings made by fire". With the message "because it is detected that the temperature rise, to exit the camera" and, no longer able to be started immediately after this camera

I did not feel it becomes hot special compared to the other models also heat that you think you have been using the GALAXY S4 until now, have the battery is bad to be honest also, without even once. When the fireworks, I think ...... and adverse conditions only overlap by chance, but be worried about a little also. We decided there for heat generation and battery have the GALAXY S4, you try to test again.

First, how the author and you are using the GALAXY S4 usually, I want to introduce to hold the battery in that case is about whether first.

I think a lot of people being said, there is not much that ...... that is lit throughout the day the display. You can look at the Web and e-mail by turning on when you want to use, you can check the SNS, and you can take a picture. Or a phone call once in a while, while positioning your location GPS, you also can use the map app. It's not only how to use ordinary short, but after measuring the drive time several times in this use, it was found that use 17 to about 20 hours on average roughly.

As long as there is no thing to such as you immerse yourself for a long time in the game, of looking in a row video, full day - it's impressive, if not go up, and the battery is said to have enough from morning till night. Continue to use two days without charging indeed it is tough, but if you charge every day, there is little that you feel the stress has battery.

That said, battery consumption will come very different usage and smartphone, depending on configuration. For example, in the case of GALAXY S4, as well seem unrelated, in fact, it is to significantly affect the battery consumption, and or configuration of the lock screen.

When returning from sleep, GALAXY S4's can be selected swipe operation is not required "no lock screen", but it is set this is "no lock screen", when the pop-up notification, such as LINE, the display become on a certain period of time automatically. Such as "10 minutes", the display is time to go out if is set a longer, Oh My God ...... keeping with the display for a while in the pocket, but not occur.

Notification setting in the LINE, pop-up notification is turned on at all times, the display is turned on every time a message arrives LINE

Needless to say, setting of brightness and lighting time of the display, a significant effect on battery consumption. The on / off Wi-Fi and GPS, the Bluetooth, in the case of GALAXY S4, status on / off function using a variety of sensors is also likely to impact further on this addition.

When you are me, the display is turned on every time a message arrives LINE
