[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Hmm, I don't see why people think the GAlaxy range needs a redesign so desperately. It looks fine and is functional. The physical home button is a must and Samsung are one of a minority of manufacturers putting in SD-card slots and removable batteries.

I personally can't stand this trend in development to con the user out of the ability to expands their storage cheaply and gouge them on a capacity upgrade at the point of purcahse. Some of you are saying they're like Apple, but it's Apple and HTC that now charge you £100 for an extra 16GB of storage. At least with this phone you could buy the 64GB model, and put a 64GB sd card in there for much less.

The 1080p screen is nice. I'm sure some idiots will complain about PenTile, but that's their problem. It's also larger than the S3, which is fine by me.

The "Octa-core" is actually, and I'm sure some of you know this, two quad cores and only one will be used at a given moment. One for low power tasks, one for high power tasks. This should give it an advantage over the Snapdragon... If the Snapdragon is the Snapdragon 800 then that'll be great, but it's likely to be the 600, which isn't as powerful.

The RAM upgrade was MUCH needed.

LTE now as standard for the international models. My main reason for upgrading.

Samsung HAD to release this phone or fall into obscurity. HTC and Sony are releasing some nice flagship phones (which, the Xperia line all look alike also, where's the complaints there? Seems to be none) it would be obscene if Samsung didn't release something nice too.

As for the software features, I use next to none of the ones on the S3 and I will use barely any of the ones on the S4. However, I will take great delight in using the hardware. I want to imagine running Ubuntu on this thing ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rinxas:
The GS4 is the all-around best phone for 2013, at least it's what I think. Great screen (brighter and more colorful than the One and blows away the Z), great camera, same body size of the S3 but with larger screen, which is awesome since the S3 is the most comfortable phone I've used.

-The Xperia Z's screen is laughable and I'm never buying a phone with flap covers (has the Xperia S).

-The HTC One was a good alternative, but I think the camera doesn't live up to it's expectations and Sense 5 is, well, Sense. Touchwiz may be uglier and have more gimmicks but IT IS useful and well made.

-Nexus 4, well it isn't much of an upgrade from the S3.

Let the haters come but I actually like the plastic back. It makes the phone thin, light, durable and allows the users to replace battery and memory. So yeah I think I made my point.

AW: Will you upgrade from your Galaxy S III ? Vote!

Will wait for any reviews but i think i will buy it.the s3's lack of multitasking is just killing me.

I would love to have a browser which keeps the sites open and don't have to reload everything if i'm for a few seconds away.

If the whole touchwiz thing will be messed up on the s4 like on the s3 then i will definetly stay

Ok the preorder price is 700 euro in Germany. This wil require 400 euro to pay on the top of S3. Can anyone tell at least one thing that it can do or any app that will exclusivly run that would encourage anyone to buy. Besides being the first one to have it. Seriously, Samsung has to think how much it is asking for their devices. It smells like overpriced Iphone to me.

I'll wait for the Note III release, and then I'll figure out what to do. The Note could be big enough to actually work as a tablet, and keep me from using two devices, If it's not good enough, I'll already know what exactly is the real-life difference between the S4 and my SGS3 with whatever firmware is available at the time, and it will be easier to decide whether to upgrade or wait for next year.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
I will wait another year, See what advances we get next year. Now that htc has put out stero sound on their phones. I am guessing they will make a better one next year. So I will wait patiently, beside my contract has a whole year to go.

If you have an S3, buying the S4 is just a waste of money, considering that most features will be available on S3 too.

Not worth it for just a small hardware upgrade.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsofa:
Hello,

I've noticed my nexus is charging really slowly. When idle it goes really slow, when using it, the power is falling down..

Using the stock charger.

before this it was charging normaly

What hapened:

I was charging it and playing a game, then my roomate came and ripped it out of my hand thus bending the charging hole and snaping the cable connector. I bought a new cable and gently fixed the charging hole (micro usb slot) so now it is looking like it shoud...

could this be the reason? the conector might be damaged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsofa:
Now the tab has fully discharged.

It boots and shuts down.

Tried changing the cable, adabter no help.

The device is rooted, so I cant even unroot it and send it to the service.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opreptetr:
AW: Slow charging

I have kind like the same problem:

My nexus is still charging, but it is really slow (~20hrs to charge fully) and the charge decreases if i use it while charging:(. I tried with another charger, but its no use. So it must be the connector or the battery. The issue started few days ago with now really reason ( except i am a poweruser). You could try to open the tablet, disconnect the battery for a few seconds and then try to revive it, or to change the battery. Another thing i noticed since the issue occured first is that i dont get a popup message when the power falls under 14% anymore, so may it be a software fail and the tablet is charging normally in truth?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmix:
AW: Slow charging

Not sure whether this helps, but I once had it charge in USB mode, though it was on AC. When this happened I could hear the device make a buzzing sound. It was charging much slower then. There is a way to check the charging mode but I forgot how. May be part of Android Tuner or DaahClock widget's Battery plugin.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opreptetr:
AW: Slow charging

You can download spare parts, in the APP you can see wether its charging via USB or AC. But i think this wont help, cause the app says AC, but it seems im charging with USB power only ( if i use the tablet, the power level decreases while charging). I dont even think the issue is caused by a broken connector, because my Problem seems to be the same, and without connected charger, the tablet discharges much faster than normal. So its more like a fast uncharging problem caused by a defective part like the battery or a cable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsofa:
It's charging over ac ... its charging now, but only if I put it upside down and put a pen under the cable.... If I move the cable in the hole I hear little poping in there...

So this actually is possible 4 the devic to show me that its charging when it really isnt o.O

Waranty? Unroot it and send it ? But there are some traces of fingers on a copper part, and the connector is a little bent :S will that void warranty?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsofa:
Okay an update:

When using it in any position, with the cable connected:

Its discharging when screen on (or discharging slowly??? Idk) , and charging with screen off in the same position.

Im gonna charge it the whole night and I have a program that monitors chargin , so ill know how long was it charging...

Is there a setting that doesnt charge when screen on?

Or should I restore everything.. maybe an app is doing thes?

Edit:

Charging graph:

Charging too slow?

Update:

Tonight I charged it again the same way....but it was charging slow now matter if I moved the cable or anything (with screen off)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8geek:
Hi guys. I've always heard that unlocking bootloader and rooting voids warranty. What is true?

- Unlocking bootloader?

- Even after unrooting, still void?

- Can I undo unlocked bootloader?

- How does phone producers/makers know if your device (if sent for warranty) is modified?

- If I unroot/undo unlock bootloader, will they still know I have rooted/unlocked bootloader before?

If you had an upgrade what would you choose.........

My choice would be the one. I like the LCD screen found on the DNA. I have alot of faith in the 4 Ultra pixel camera. I want a phone that doesn't feel like a child's toy. The quadrant scores on the One were amazing, although I'm sure the S4 will come close. What would you choose?

FYI: all phones have ultra pixels, however there 1.1. The ones found on the One are 2.0. Just saying

Currently on an htc phone and with HTCs inability to update software in a timely fashion that makes me question them all together.

I have a samsung tablet but I am leaning towards the S4 due to samsung overall being the better product and updating things in a timely manner.

It took htc nearly a year to get ics on this and it's horrible for everything.

Go with Samsung. Overall it's just better supported and more highly recognized

The event for the unpacking of the GS4 was ridiculous! Seriously I watched the hole "show" and I was awaiting for the new killer feature that would erase the concurrents.

First of all, the design. Some of you may say "don't change the lineup of a working team" but personally I'm tired of the same designs with Samsung devices lately. It's the same on the GS3, on the note 2 and now on the GS4 ? Show some innovation Samsung!

I love Android, I never had an iPhone and never wanted one, but from the design, iPhone 5 is way better built.

HTC really got that and the amazing device that is the ONE is the proof.

You can't say "yeah I choose my device because it'll have more updates!". Wrong!

Every high marketed device comes with killer features ! 2gb of RAM? That's normal now. 32 or 64 gb of storage / 5 inch screen? Normal too...

The thing is they all look alike in a hardware point of view, that's why nowadays the design is very important.

A good design means a device built with beautiful and premium materials and that the device's design changes from the device that came out before.

Samsung didn't get that. Although the S series of Samsung is gonna sell at uncomputable numbers every one knows that, I don't think it's a major need to upgrade from the s3 to S4 because I just don't see the point except waisting money.

I think it may attract some of those who will walk in a store and see the device (thanks to the amazing job of marketing that Samsung always does) but for those who were waiting it to be a great and revolutionary device, the disappointment is the real feeling.

HTC ONE is the killer smartphone of 2013's beginning, sorry Samsung you'll do better next time. Or not ^^

Wrote a lot, if you agree with me let me know and if you disagree i'll be holding my breath awaiting your arguments !

[General Topics] rl421403:
Me getting S4. Although HTC One has better build quality but for everything else, HTC is not the company I would bet on. It will probably never get updates after one or two.

On the other side Samsung is adding more and more features in each update and from last year when I purchased S3, I already got 3-4 updates. Plus they already working on another one with all these latest features.

On hardware side, I think S4 has upper hand on HTC One. Battery is larger, processor is faster, S4 Screen is bigger but phone is little smaller. S4 Screen is better. Not to mention expendable microSD slot and replaceable battery.

So I would not want a phone with better built quality but strong specs and better features.

I think that's the main reason why I switched from iPhone to S3 in the first place. I know a lots of people might hate me for saying this but iPhone has best build quality among all phones out there.

So definitely Galaxy S4.
[General Topics] bartholomey:
I said " I love Android, I never had an iPhone and never wanted one, but from the design, iPhone 5 is way better built."

So please understand my sentence as it sound ^^

I'll say again maybe in other words this time, when you grab an iPhone 5 and when you grab a S3, don't tell me that the S3 has a more premium look and feel... And that's not a question of opinion, that's a fact.

I never mentioned the prices of the devices but if you want to, we'll see the price of the S4, when they'll show it at 699$ then you'll tell me the difference with the iPhone. The only device that is worth talking on a price basis is the Nexus 4. The rest of'em are just a scam :)
