Finally got my Glass.t Nano Slim and a Samsung 64gb MicroSD :D..

Installed it on my S4 and it looks just like the bare glass without a protector .. Will post pics soon :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nani67:
hi,,

can u plz tell if 64GB cards can be used directly in the phone or should we format them to fat32 using PC and then use in phone..

am asking this coz, recently my 32GB card has become unusable, it used to loose all data everytime i reboot my phone.

so, asked sandisk for replacement & got a reply that they are giving me a 64GB card as 32GB cards are out of stock.

so guide me on how to use 64GB card in S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
Where did you buy from..?? Can you send the link... Though I have placed order on Amazon.com, they will ship the Glas.t Nano on July 8, when it becomes available, I highly doubt their shipping cause Amazon.com does not ship any other Spigen Product to India. As the website is showing shipping to India, when the product is pre-order, but I think they won't ship and will later refund me..
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Wether it became smoother for u after the update or not but what i said about the cores being switched off is still true..thats y "everybody" is getting lower scores on antutu etc after the update...

And if what u r saying about audio quality is true then u might hv a faulty device..cuz i too hv an ipad..and its definitely better...u cn use the audio mods for evn better quality on s4 but it shudnt b necessary..

And i hv been using amoled since evn b4..i had a samsung jet..and i also flash a lot of rom..since samsung jet..i remember the jetroid project..

Btw i dont know hw cn u think htc screen look better..m not challenging ur view..just saying that it certainly looks better to me..or anybody around me who saw them both side by side..

Regarding aosp support i agree wid u..for that i9505 is the better choice..

I advice wud b to wait for a couple of months for new devices wid better exynos or s800 chips...cuz imo switching to one ll b like going backwards on so many grounds..

Again this is just my opinion..i am in no way challeging the opinion of others..

This might sound like a really stupid question, so apologies in advance. I am gonna flash a new ROM (Omega V8 or WanamLite).. Does the zip file have to always be placed in the internal sd card for flashing through CWM or can I keep the file on my external sd card as well?

I suggest u keep it in ext sd card because if u run mega wipe script, it'll wipe ur whole internal sd card. So better keep it in ext sd card
[Galaxy S 4 General] techfreakgag:
Yup. I'm inclined towards waiting for a few months too. S4 is a very well balanced phone all around and is in no way inferior to One. The two phones just boil down to several personal preferences of people. Both are great devices. I should maybe wait for the next nexus phone or something. Gonna enjoy the S4 for now :)

You mean mine is defected? :'( :(

But tint is not noticable.. its very slightly...
[Galaxy S 4 General] snoopdog2006:
Defected - NO thats not the case,

I read a lot about the tint and seems like its the way the manufacture those SAMOLED screen which sometimes results in tints (Blue/Yellow),

I have this serious OCD when it comes to screens:cyclops: so i replaced,

But having that little tint wont effect your usage in anyways, unless you stare at a white screen all day :D

Thanx.. I shown device to service guys... they said its normal..there is no tint..

As they said there is no tint..

But it have but it's really less.. u can say its 3% opacity transparency out of 100..

So.. its normal..?

[Galaxy S 4 General] siffar:
My handset died while taking a picture. So I gave to the service center.

Now they flashed the I9500XXUAMDK and returned. The handset heats up lesser than earlier MF5. But there is considerable time when opening the camera. Also its annoying to see the Hindi and Punjabi font. Mf5 had beautiful font for both languages.

Is it possible to flash MF5 using ODIN over this, without affecting warranty?

PS: This is my first non-Nexus device, so I am clueless. Nexus devices only took adb commands which IMO are super easy. This is some complicated **** :confused:

This is weird. Up until MF5, I used to get OTA updates the same day they were rolled out. Never had a problem. But MF8 is not showing up even when the firmware is out.
