Looks like S-View cover promotion is ended.

Because 2 of my friends purchased S4 in last 3 days and they were not able to register for S-View promo.

It says something like "this offer is not valid for this imei". Checked imei many times.

Na i dont think so i just bought a second S4 for my father. and i just redeemed the S-View Cover..

BTW i was just thinking if we take the IMEI number of people from outside india will be we able to redeem the Cover? :silly::laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] chintz24:
I redeemed it on saturday. It works.

Have your friends purchased frok grey market
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
I doubt IMEI number from other countries will work because each IMEI number is tied to a location/country and they verify Indian S4 IMEI numbers. Everything else it ignored.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

I don't think so but I am not completely sure.

One of my friend got it from Samsung store and his IMEI is not working. Possibly his IMEI number is not registered on Samsung system so far, so we will try again in new few days.

I hope for the best.

Even I thought it was 2hrs at first but actually 2 mins...

[Galaxy S 4 General] sebilrulz:
Don't buy the duplicate one's online. . I bought one from eBay. It was really poor quality. The buttons also wouldn't work. So I suggest you go to some shop and try the cover on and buy it. Or try some power seller on eBay.

I personally prefer the slim armour. . It's good. .

Hey,

I am in a horrible situation.

I have sent my phone to the service center 5 times already! Samsung just refuses to change my phone! I had purchased my galaxy s 4 on 27-04-13 and have been facing issues after issues with my phone.

Can someone guide me what to do next? Emails to http://www.samsung.com/in/info/contactus.html Do not help. I get an automated reply email and a call a week or two later saying that I need to send my phone in for repairs again.

I am stuck with a Rs 41,500 phone! Samsung customer care is absolutely useless! They have closed my case as I refused to give my phone to the service center for the 6th time!

My case # 8426814913 in case someone can help!

The problems for which I initially sent my phone in for repairs -

- Distortion in bluetooth audio (when I connect to a BT device e.g. a car's BT. I cannot hear the caller, all I hear is distortion)

- Distortion in Earpiece (over a call I get an annoying disturbance, something like a crackling sound and yes I have tried 3 different service providers)

- Device overheats to more than 55d C while either texting, browsing, email, games and even during a phone call (I have to hold the phone away from my ear during a phone call!)

- I am unable to use the flash while taking a photo as I get this message "unable to turn on the flash. device temperature is too high"

The last time my phone went to the Service Center (Next to Milan Subway, Mumbai) I got it back with additional problems -

- the screen does not switch on during an incoming call (randomly)

- I cannot hear the caller. I have to disconnect and call them back (randomly)

During one of the first SS visit the SS scratched my backcover and when I confronted them they said it is "part of the design", when I told them to compare it with another s4 at the SS they said "we don't have another s4 to compare it with", After telling them I am ready to wait till another customer comes in with an s4 they proceed to tell me that the scratch was there previously!

I am totally harrowed by this treatment from SAMSUNG!

Can some one please HELP!!??

Thank you

Guys, its now 2 days since i am using the s-veiw cover and i have 1 observation.

There is little more battery drainage then before.

Initially the ideal battery drain over night in 6 hours was 1-2% which after the application of s-view cover is 6-7%.

Same kind of observation in day time...

One reason could be that every time when we open/ close the cover there is a change of brightness but then this happens when we are using it every now and then...but whats happening during night time, when phone is kept idle...

Is it that any of the sensor is active which functions or looks at the behaviors of the flip cover?
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
of course it does because with s-view enabled, sensors are always working, they never sleep. They keep looking for if s-view was flipped or not.

change of brightness cannot cause battery drain if phone is in sleep mode.

Hello guys.

Today all of sudden i got message of sd card removed......

I was using my s4. I was on whats app. Placed phone in my trouser pocket. Heard a notification type sound(system). Was changing metro so after 5 min looked a triangle at upper left corner and saw the message.

Powered off my phone. Then after 30 sec or so powered it back on but no luck. Went to storage it was saying insert sd card or no sd card type message.

Powered it off again. Removed sd card and placed it again and i was able to use it.

I dont know what caused this issue?? Any guess? I am using sandisk sdxc 64 gb. From day 1 of s4. First time error came.

Good news guys i have finalised for slim armor view case. Black soul 1. Available on mobilefun. Its such a good case.

Yes i know i said i am not flipview type guy and also i am selling my sview for 1500. But this spigen sa-view is solving my lots of purposes like its protective, slim, flip is hard and locked unlike all other. I am the guy who get lots of sweat so this will save my 42500. Will b easy to pick calls. I really talk a lot and have fealt the warmth of s4. Will save my soul from it also.

Now help me out should i go for spigen nano glas along with this. Or standard screen protecter??

Or any other input about case?

I m using S4

[Galaxy S 4 General] simpleparab:
If its really a diff in battery backup of using s4 with or without flipcover??

Theory says no. As if there is a sensor in s4 which senses s view magnet and works accordingly, sensor should b active all the time i mean he doesnt know if we have flipcover or not. He is the on 1 end who is at negotiation mode i.e. if magnet comes i will set my display to little window or not.

So he is always up and eating the juice of our device.

Why he would eat extra battery.

I m using S4

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Edit. Sorry i am talking about S-view and likewise cover..

I m using S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] zeusumit:
Well there is definitely something in the s view cover...hence what you said is true...

But, i guess something is getting activated as soon as the s view cover is placed on the phone.

Yesterday I have my normal flip cover open and tried just placing the front flip cover of s view cover on the screen and the sensor (or whatever it is) got active. After that i placed a metal sheet on half of my screen and then i placed my s view cover and nothig was happening....so i guess something is in the s view cover which makes this sensor to work.

Also if you want to test it from your end then apply s view cover and keep your phone in airplane mode and do not touch your phone for 3 hours and see the %age drain. do the same activity without the s view cover. You will notice the diff.

Hola people!

My friend's travelling to US and is looking to buy the unlocked international i9505 from Amazon when he's there.

Anything he should be made aware of?

No official warranty here, but will they fix a defective device if you pay for it? Do these phones come with International Warranty? I doubt it. Edit: Nope, no warranty. Checked.

Also, read something about India using different 4G technology in this thread...so there's just no way of getting the 4G to work on the i9505 here in future? Looks like they use different bands, bummer! :mad: Edit: Ok, no FDD-LTE in India.

[Galaxy S 4 General] roofrider:
Oh didn't know that, but it's going to take a year at least i believe and it'll take even longer for it to hit South India. But is there even a single phone that uses our td-lte today? According to wiki, there is none.

Anyway he decided to opt for the local i9500 because of the lack of lte support here. He's new to the Android scene so he's not lured by the AOSP rom availability of i9505 yet.

If it were me i would've gove with the quad core without any second thought. :p
