I wasn't asking on my older post, i was saying about the chipsets, which is indeed same, then you replied in a wrong way that who said chipsets are same blah blah...so for your reference i gave you link to see that, well and as far as respect goes, there are very fewer people who replies in a way you did, i am sure once i'll get a phone in my hand, i'll learn myself quickly, i may give you feeling like ultra noob right now, but on my HTC devices, i have built ROMs with disxda kitchen, made my own modifications, i do have a knowledge about the whole system of HTC devices, i'll learn samsung's too, just making sure is it worth buying or not, people have a right to investigate what is better for them, and yes they also can by asking again and again if that's not cleared there query. btw now these are fairly clear for me, after reading a very informative article in a blog :D

HSN is crap, never buy from them. You will easily get it for 70k in the first week of launch. So far its having some issues like smearing, lag and heat issues. These are all related to software issues and I am sure It will be fixed soon. I will buy after a month :)

Samsung galaxy s4

Guyz SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 is officially launched in PAKISTAN TODAY at EXPO CENTRE LAHORE but HOMESHOPPING are selling it for Rs.67,000 without warrenty where as samsung is selling for Rs.72000
[Galaxy S 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
A friend told me in the market if you bargain enough, you can get the s4 with teletec for 67k...

So I guess homeshoppings price with their HSN **** warranty is worthless...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Galaxy S 4 General] usmanxhmed:
Advertised official price is 72000 by samsung, but almost on day one, it is sold for 70000 for even little less in warranty?

Is this because of serious smearing and may be other issues? they are reducing price influence the consumer to buy it.

Finally has anyone actually bought it yet? Is the Pakistani version has Screen Issues as well? With Screen Issue how anyone can even think of buying it, in this case i may have to buy iPhone 5 because it usually does everything fine or in less case HTC one?

Thought are required?
[Galaxy S 4 General] omer7:
What screen issues does it have? Did someone tell u or u read it somewhere?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hassan89:
Bought it today for 70k from bluearea islamabad . Working perfect.Have noticed no issue with the display or any other issue overall.The screen is damn gorgeous and i am using it with full brightness :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
The advertised price is usually always higher than the market price... Because retailers get about 4-5k off the advertised price... Unless you buy direct from a official retail shop...

The final discrepancies in price come because it depends on how much profit the final shopkeeper wants to keep... There are 2 distinct schools of thought... Sell at a cheaper price and sell more units to make more profit... Or sell less units and make more profit per phone sold... Hence the range of 67-70k prices you hear... Of course location also makes a diff in price...

But its too soon right now for there to be too many "khushboo" or resealing just yet...

Another aspect is if you know someone in Samsung, you can buy products with a 8% discount via them... That is how HSN gets their phones and sells for their low prices... The got the s3 the same way as well...

I know this because I also know their contact and have his number but can't reveal it for privacy reasons :P

bought it yesterday from hafeez centre for 69.5k with teletec warranty (warranty starting from 16th june)

I have noticed screen smearing in setting menu and also pink tint at top of screen on white background, both issues appear only at 0 brightness or at very low brightness... I normally use mobile on 30% or more brightness so it doesnt effect in my normal usage. But now I know about these issues (thanx to xda) so it does bother me now:(

are these both hardware issues or software related?

what is the procedure to claim teletec warranty here in pakistan? does anyone has any experience or can help me regarding this?

and if these are software issues then any solution??... thanx

Damn heating issues (till 40 c) --- all phones from hsn (crap dubai stock) has issues of heating .. i think it is hardware related heat sink issues .. guys wait dont buy it so fast
[Galaxy S 4 General] omer7:
If u play a heavy game, 40 C is normal i guess. Dont know after how much usage ur phone goes to 40C.

Does it go to 40C after a light use?
[Galaxy S 4 General] newstar:
Offcourse no game , no benchmark , just browsing and charging upper side of screen get hot much
[Galaxy S 4 General] omer7:
Mmm.. Okay.

Browsing and charging at the same time? If yes, try browsing for the same time without ur phone on charging.

I remember i plugged in my htc one S for charging and with it downloaded Real Racing (which is abt 1.2GB i think, screen remained on whole downloading). I went for lunch and when came back my phone's temp went to 46C .. Lol. I cud hardly touch it. Phone does get a little hot while charging.

Anyway just shared it for info.
[Galaxy S 4 General] newstar:
By the way , what are normal tempratures
[Galaxy S 4 General] mnaveed:
plz report heating issues if there are any
[Galaxy S 4 General] i9100g user:
Phone is actually pretty cool, backside of screen acts as a heat sink(that is why cpu is placed in the upper part of screen ),pretty useful in absorbing heat.

But it could get hot , when you do cpu intensive tasks , where A15 cores are utilised,as far as normal usage is concerned it is pretty good, according to various reviews.

Browsing, gaming,benchmarking ,A/V decoding are one of those things where A15 cores could be used.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sohebq:
I feel really sad for you, I have written 2 days back that dont buy it yet, if u r on xda and you still Bought it without doing proper research, then you have to blame yourself. Problem is not getting the phone, problem is that we are living in pak where warranty claim process is just pain. If we r in USA, we can easily swap phones, but here the only way to to return is to calim warranty which takes up to 2 weeks and they make excuses.

[Galaxy S 4 General] HassanM:
Seems like it.... By the where did u get your phone from?

Anyway for your screen smearing try Screen Adjuster...
[Galaxy S 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Your right... Phone on charge while using, ANY phone will cause the phone to heat like crazy... That's very normal... I've had my Nexus go up to 52°C while doing very heavy processing...

Its quite normal for these heavy processors to do so... For one to randomly say its a defect is ridiculous... Matter of fact I remember my original Galaxy S would go up to 45°C + while on charge and using...

Also the warranty in Pakistan I really doubt covers the issues being mentioned... I remember having a Nokia with software issues that I had to get fixed on warranty 3 times... Then through a source got them to exchange the phone... And the phone they gave was clearly a slightly used phone... Warranties here are the worst... And as someone mentioned, they always look for excuses to not let you claim warranty...

The question is why the exynos version is not supplied globally, if it was that good.

Exynos version is supplied in all the developing countries and other small european countries. I think samsung knew about these issues and they halted the soc development. To test it they make a small number of international variants.

The qualcomm edition is rocking this time unlike the previous releases. So lets pray the issue is resolved. My samsung sales man tried to stop me fron getting it atleast now. He said that the new batch of s4 i9500 is expected to have a slight modification. So i am still waiting.
[Galaxy S 4 General] usmanxhmed:
While exynos is provided in developing countries because we dont have LTE 4G and its home baked and 1st priority CPU, not because of good or bad.
[Galaxy S 4 General] newstar:
No ota yet , and there are mix reviews about new ota ... its my big mistake to sold my 3 month old note2 in 40k and buy this garbage

P.s iphone5 also heats up on charging but not give un pleasent feeling may be due to almunium back
[Galaxy S 4 General] omer7:
Was ur note 2 in warranty? For how much did u get it? And i think yeah GS 4 might not be worth upgrading from note 2.
[Galaxy S 4 General] usmanxhmed:
Every phone gets hot while charging, its normal, but the phone should not get hot while using it!
[Galaxy S 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Usman is above is Correct... There is ALWAYS a different release for Intl community and the US market... You can look at every Galaxy flagship release to date... Always been 2 variants ... Mainly due to the addition or certain radios or LTE/4G support... Same with the S3 and S2 and Note etc etc...

Matter of fact, the s3 had 3 variants... We got the quad core with 1 gb ram (i9300)... Then there was the US Dual core with 2gb ram (t999 I think), and then the also US quad core with 2 gb ram (i9305)...

Why are people to jump to conspiracy theories that Samsung knew and they just wanted to screw over third world countries etc etc... That's all rubbish...

Its a known fact that the first few batches of ANY phone have faults in them... That's with Iphones... With nexus devices, with HTC, anything... That's why you should wait a few months before buying...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Galaxy S 4 General] qazibasit:
No i am not saying they are screwing 3rd world. I am saying that international variant always outperforms the other variants. And the other variants are only for USA. But with the s4 most of europe is deprived of the exynos version. With s2, s3 and note 1 europe got the international version. This time i think the exynos soc is experimental release and thats why samsung limits its distro.
[Galaxy S 4 General] usmanxhmed:
Pakistani Guys tell me, is S4 worth buying or i should buy iPhone5? Or should i wait, iPhone has smaller display, less sharing abilities, but its software is faster, even skype, facebook, twitter etc works faster on iPhone than any Android, yet bigger screen of S4 tempts me?
[Galaxy S 4 General] farrukhna:
Well after using s4 for a couple of days i had just lags, a bitnof choppiness and smearing issue. Didnt have or noticed over heating issue. It does heat but not much which would be an alarming issue.

Smearing issue is with all and is a software iasue which will be hopefully fixed in future. And as for laginess and bit of choppiness, will flash the f9rmware again to see if it helped or not
[Galaxy S 4 General] sohebq:
Its your own choice, you need to decide whether you want stability with less features, or less stability with higher features. Iphone is more stable than android, but its features makes most of people boring and outdated. If you want to buy s4, I would suggest to wait at least a month so that samsung can fix all the issues. We will then get to know how stable it is. The other Choice would be to get note 2.

[Galaxy S 4 General] DrunkFuX666:

I went to HyperStar (Display in Supter Store), Display looked beautiful, i seen smearing too but it was not bothering me, but upper portion of the screen was definitly hotter, while the lower was cooler even at the display?

Display looked beautiful but the touchwiz, the menu, the text even in the message App looked such a pain in my ass, i thought how people bear that, that they made S2 and S3 a success, why can't samsung make stock or something like sense is beyond me, yes we can change launcher, messaging app, keyboard to stock, but definitely heat and its a chance if your screen is OK or with Yellow or Pink tint, so its by luck this phone? will Samsung fail this time?

Like you work in Samsung and you know it all that its software problem? lol Well even Samsung don't know if its software or hardware bug lol thats why they are silent or if they know and they know its hardware mess so they are silent
[Galaxy S 4 General] newstar:
Speaker volume (maximum loudness of songs and movies) and ring tone volume (maximum loudness) is also less as compare to s3 and note 2

Any guy experience it too ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] aami.aami:
well guys after using S4 of my friend and comparing it to my Note 2 i would suggest those who plan to buy S4 to buy it right away. i remember my Note N7000 and S3 had smearing and Halo issues over the scrolling bar and the top of the icon lines... but i took my mobile from the shop, went home and flashed the latest European rom and it was all gone. the screen issues are mostly software issues. untill its not the hardware issue of the screen where u have to get the phone replaced from where u bought it. like if u guys remember, S3 had the ink spots on its screen which were visible on its screen once the screen displayed black color.

go to a dark room and display only black color on the screen and see very carefully. if there are these small ink spots and there are more than 4-5 you have faulty screen. u should get ur S4 replaced as soon as possible. if there are less than 4-5 spots thats fine. thats the special glue that is used to stick the screen connector to the solder of the modem. thats present in almost every mobile with AMOLED technology screens. even my Nokia 808 Pureview has those.

and about over heating issues. yes it over heats a bit and thats normal. as i told u when u get the device out of the box and use it for the first time, thats the factory flashed rom, and there definitely are bugs in it. you should as i told u get home and flash the latest stock firmware (at your own risk of course!) this issue would be solved soon by samsung cause its software issue. samsung really got in a hurry to release its S4 with Octacore chip Exynos which is very new architecture based SoC. samsung did almost the same with low software support for the quad core Exynos 4412 that was in the S3. but My Note 2 does not over heat like S3.cause of development of software.

my Note 10.1 tablet heats up in like 2 mins! about to sell thats cause of the sheer size of screen where the gpu has to display the pixels and also the wacom digitizer. but thats other story.

so all in all, its my advice for every one who is interested to get S4 cause all these issues are software related and would be solved soon.

today the price online was Rs 67000.

i will sell my Note 2 this week. i have already put order for Black Mist S4 i9500.

(hit thanks if i helped u) :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] sohebq:
^^

A bit of surprised to hear this that being a note 2 user, you actually liked s4. There are very few people who moved from note 2 to s4, I also wanted to shift but I will wait a month at least to see how many issues are fixed.
