I seriously think all you guys fighting for the fastest phone best phone title should sell off your phones and buy a toy phone. Then your fight for bad quality build and stupid specs will be worth reading. Stop behaving like neighbors with a beautifuler daughter and get on with life. Please don't make the public forum your personal spittoon.

The power output directly from the wall outlet can supply power a lot faster than when connected eith pc..

To be specific the wall outlet supplies 2 ampere or 2000 mah while the maximux output from a usb port of pc is 500 mah only ( atleast in usb 2.0 ports.. dont know about the 3.0 ones )

Hence the difference is 4 times when charging from pc as compared to charging from with the help of charger
[Galaxy S 4 General] bryanfuryin22:
also with the wall outlet the phone heats up due high output and once the charging crosses 85% mark it cools down. this is what i have experienced every time. does any one facing the same experience please share.

Yes once u flash a Stock firmware and reset the phone u will have it Official status

But u will loose Root or anything custom u have
[Galaxy S 4 General] manu44:
Ah Got that.. So I have Downloaded the MF5 Firmware and I would follow This Tutorial to Flash Via ODIN to Stock

Right?

And After i Do this I just Root it again with Cf root like i did earlier.

Plus Would Binary Counter Increase if i do it Like this?

Thanxs
[Galaxy S 4 General] HS™:
Yes the link u are using is correct do as mentioned no need to use PIT file for now just flash the firmware

And binary counter in I9500 is hidden so we canot see

And flashing a stock firmware will not increase the counter only files which are custom and flashed thru ODin will increase it

Having said this We still Cannot see the counter for ow need to wait till Chainfire Supports I9500

Hi, Any tips to get better battery life? I got this two days ago, on stock rom, but rooted. I am on the usual power saving mode, "movie" option for display, etc but battery barely lasts a full day.

Also, any thoughts on whether to go for Omega or WanamLite rom? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] HS™:
Omega 7 i m using its Really good u can try that

Plus if u wanna have perseus kernal with camera fix it will Rock with many Stweaks
[Galaxy S 4 General] getdunexpected:
I ordered mine from UK.. www.handtec.co.uk

ordered a htc one s last year from them (wanted the snapdragon s4).. they ship fast and communicate well.. Just that they sometimes gt their stock from overseas so yr csc myt show EUR (greece) or smthn else other thn BTU(stock UK unbranded) but you can always flash stock BTU without any probs.. And that the GBP is on a high now.. bout 91-92 Rs I guess so it might cost you a lil extra!
[Galaxy S 4 General] msquare:
Cool, thanks will try Omega tomorrow morning at work. You dont recommend Omega 8??? I am assuming no problems in the Omega 7, Perseus kernel combination?
[Galaxy S 4 General] HS™:
U should go to the latest which is Omega8 I did not change coz no need to its working just fine

And ya with perseus kernal also no issue after flashing kernal do flash camera fix else u ll have camera not wrkng

Other way use only omega 8 and after some use if u need Flash kernal
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
Before changing the rom why don't you take a look at the root cause of the battery drain using 'better battery stats'.. May be it's because of some apps you installed

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Not from grey Market.. From a normal shop.. They will give the warranty also..

Also if you have somebody in uae, you can buy from here.. Its cheap also.. I bought mine from dubai for 32.9k..its a BTU version.. With one year uae warranty.. Now the prices have come down here.. You can buy for 2k AED
[Galaxy S 4 General] skarma103:

Free S-View cover claim.

Hi, i bought my Galaxy S4 on 28th june.

Samsung had a promotional offer that a GS4 bought within the dates 10 June-30 June would recieve a free S-View cover.

The offer had to be claimed online, by entering the IMEI number. But, when i entered my IMEI number, it showed that the offer is not available for my device.

I even mailed my details and a scanned copy of the invoice to their email id. But as if now, i haven't received any response.

Does this mean that i am fooled by the shopkeeper or my device is suspected to be authenticated ???

Please help me, i want to avail that offer.

Nope. These is still a small amount of ghosting when scrolling text, which I think is due to the fact that black are blacks in AMOLED.

[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
use the fix in my sig, or update to latest sammy rom to avoid purple tint in sammy apllications. Its there because the blacks in s4 are perfectly black unlike s2 or s3.

exfat too is from microsoft and from the forum posts i can understand that exfat implementation in samsung firmwares is broken and not reliable.

Yes. I notice it pretty often. Especially in gallery app and on the stock clock widget while swiping homescreens. Most noticeable when the brightness is low. Pretty annoying. I'm actually regretting going for S4. Even the sound output sucks and there are micro stutters even on this hardware. I tried out an HTC one and that thing is iOS smooth and much much faster in frequent operations like opening and closing of apps.

I dont know about u..but i tried my friends htc one too...it does lag...mayb ur unit was a fresh one with only stock apps..

After the mea update things got a little f@#ked up..before that s4 was noticeably faster than one...be it opening apps or anything else..now its more or less the same...

Also with htc one u ll face micro stutters for sure while playing games..everytime..

S4 use to run games like a beast b4 the mea update..but after the update a15 cores stop working when the temp reach 50..and they start again when it cools down to 40..samsung did this to keep the overheating issue in check(i never had the overheating issue)..but in general there were some cons too...after the update i can see some micro stutters here and there..but if u think this issue ll b gone if u update 2 one then u r wrong bro...

Also if u r refferring to the speaker output of s4 then yeah htc one is louder...but the sound quality of one when playing thru headphones is totally dwarfed by s4..

Further cons for me were-

1. Lcd screen..i like amoled better..and even if u remove the screen tech aspect..then too s4 screen has been considered better by most of the screen tech sites and professionals..

2. A guarantee of faster updates than htc one..

3.Cant say about first day but after a week or so(when u hv installed a few apps) htc one ll lag more than s4 in general.

4. Camera quality of s4 is far superior...ultrapixel thingy was total bullsh#t..the only thing it does a bit better is taking low light shots..but when it comes to daylight s4 beats just everybody..

5.micro sd card..i hv a 64 gb one..and i keep lots of data on my phone..

6. The features which some ppl call gimmicks are not so gimmicky to me..i often use air gestures..and other features too...

7.a lot of my friends and relatives hv samsung galaxy s3 or note 2 or even s4..so s beam is a must for me..

8. Removable battery..i dont use it often..but only on long trips..

9.this is not a con but i find using samsung phones relatively easy as compares to htc...i dont know y they located the power button on top..and y did they made the button layout suck even more..

An update from samsung can fix the little issues s4 hs...i ll wait for note 3..m not sure i ll update to note 3 cuz its too big but at this point if u really want to update then wait for 1-2 months for a new phone rather than going to an already outdated phone..

I am Using omega v8 rom.. With philz touch 5 cwm recovery.... Works like a charm.. Great battery.. Lag less.. Stable rom..
[Galaxy S 4 General] techfreakgag:
I was referring to the audio output through the jack. It's **** when i compare it to the output of my iPad be it any of my external speakers or my headphones. I don't know why but I find the quality considerably worse.

I bought the phone on the day of launch. The firmware it shipped with, I had overheating issues and the device used to stutter like hell. For me, it has become MUCH smoother and faster especially after the MEA update. So totally different experiences here.

For the gaming part, I don't really care. I don't play much games on the phone. I do very rare and casual gaming.

The screen, I personally liked the ONE's screen much better. And this is after using Amoleds for a little less than 3 years. (I had a Nokia c7 for a year and then the S2). I have always preferred Amoled over LCD myself but I really really liked ONE's screen much better than my s4.

I totally agree with you on the camera. The ONE's camera was totally useless for the little while I got to test it. S4 has a fantastic camera. No doubt about that.

Expandable memory and removable battery definitely a huge bonus. Plus it charges very fast and easily lasts a day for my usage. Can't comment about this for HTC as I don't own one. But as far as I've heard, S4 is better in battery life.

All in all, Both of these have their share of imperfections. Another thing is(a personal opinion), I'm starting to get very bored of the Nature UX/UI. Same interface since jellybean made it to the S2.

What I like about the One is of course the looks. It does look much, much better than the S4 in person. There is no comparison whatsoever in this department. I could really use a break from the same old boring stuff from Sammy.

Second, the screen, looked better to me than S4's. And third, much better AOSP support in the developer community. There's no contest on this front, really. So if I ever get bored of Sense, I could always get an AOSP ROM which would be much more stable and complete than it would ever be on out Exynos monster. And this is a pretty big deal for me as I tend to get flashaholic.

I know nexus is better for this purpose but I can't stand LG's after sales service, the useless screen and pathetic battery life. Not to mention the phone being more brittle than my chinaware.

To sum it all up, I' pretty confused whether to sell it any buy the One or stick with my S4 for now. Let's see.

Dude... have you noticed something about the review websites... something that relates with point 9... When Sony decided to put their pwer button on the side, the sites called it a revolutionary idea.. !!! An ideal solution to the problem of moving fingers all the way above the device to unlock.. but Sammy has been doing that for years... Ever since Corby Days... long before they adopted Androind.. and then in every single touch device they produced... No site applauded them.. Also, in Sony Xperia Z reviews, they didnt call the feature that was taken from a better usability of Samsung, but just plain innovative..!!!!

WTF!!!
