  • GS4 GT-i9506: Old original battery 2500mAh, low capacity due to age, and no charging issues whatsoever.
    Changed it out to a new 5050mAh generic battery; and boom; all the described issues with gray charge icon, and self-induced shut downs/ loops. Even tried a second, other brand 5050mAh, and with same issues.
    Putting back the original battery= all fine again!?? Tried wiping cache, and all the other on/off/reboot - solutions.. No go!
    No way two new & independent batteries are faulty. Nor the USB charge port.
    I am actually suspecting a built in software restriction, or similar!?
    Anyone with the same experience? Or a solution maybe?
