Hello Guys,

one of the promotional offer from Samsung states "Galaxy S4 buyers will also get 12,000 coins worth Rs 12,000, which gets activated as soon as one downloads the MyServices app. These coins can be redeemed against premium content like movie streaming, songs, games and live TV. These would be valid for three months."

Can anyone explain me what is 'MyServices' and how to use it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] manmohan0339:

[Galaxy S 4 General] manu44:
There is a App installe din the phone by the Name of My Services or something like that. Open that and then You can Download Music or Videos from there for latest movies Games and use the 12000 coins for that,

Personally its a **** app.

In short, if your soul likes s4 then buy it .... :)

1.Display tint issue..

2. Home button will loose mostly after usage of 1 month(depends on usage)

To be frank there's nothing.. But the things you may miss are :

*Boom sound..

*The unique look(as lot of samsung phones have design)..

*Developer support(if u are buying i9500)..

S4 is a good phone.. But before buying go to some shop & play with it for some time.. Afterall its a personal choice..

Ya i love the boom sound of my ONE, but hav few small issues with it, so i was thinking of changing it.

Whats the temp of pohne whn its ideal and to what max temp it goes once we start using it.

Bcoz i was using s3 and even a little temp rise was irritating me.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

1. How to check for the display tint issue?

2. Hmm its the same issue which S3 had ?

3. Bcoz of this issue only i wan to change my HTC oNE :P

4. After the update howz the heating issue ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
These issues are not common at all -- IMHO, the OP you were replying has a faulty piece or abused the phone in some manner.

The overheating issue seems to have been mostly resolved for people who used to have it after the MF5 update (at the cost of some performance though, since the phone now switches to the A7 cores earlier I believe).

The only ubiquitous issue is smearing (which is noticeable only on pitch black backgrounds, once you know of it). The available internal storage is also a bit low (only 9 GB or so).
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
Of course its available in india.. But you will have to search for it ;)

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------
[Galaxy S 4 General] fatekills:
Wats the temp now ? and wat performance will reduce ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
In mine(i9505) its not heating much.. In i9500 if the temp goes beyond a specific value(i dnt knwvd value) the cores will switch to a7 till the temp comes down.. Even if the phone heats, you won't feel much like that in One, as s4 is having plastic body.. Plastic is not a good conductor of heat like aluminum..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mandeep148:
Is 32 degrees Celsius. .
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
Paging [MENTION=3877923]bala_gamer[/MENTION] -- he tracks these things closely :). Bala, at what temp does the switch to A7s happen on stock?

Anyways, I haven't noticed any performance loss actually. The A7 cores work fine for my usage generally.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mandeep148:
Better to check questions threads.. mostly the person got tint issue on display..

If the tint is visible in black back ground then it's defected like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb7EZTPi_eA

If tint is slightly visible on white grey or plane background then its normal.. like this thread. I have this same things from s3 note 2 and now also on s4..

People saying that ita not common.. is lie.. truth I told u and now urs decision.. I have not any benefit to tell u lie or truth..

I just told u these thing which can annoy u..

Check there are many forum.. in which people says that they replaced 15 device but they hadn't got perfect..

latest MF8 update

it took a lot of time to upload. i hope this link works

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6mSCwSaSU3jaDRiUE93eFAtUm8&usp=sharing

this for latest MF8 update for i9500 from sammobile

I tried it seems to be working. takes you to preview tab, where on lower left (in my browser) is download tab.
[Galaxy S 4 General] samir_a:
Yes the problem is button does not have any feel when you press it so the simple way out is just press it slightly and thats it

There will always be some drawbacks when you go with fakes but until u dont press it hard regularly there should not be an issue
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
We didn't tell that you were lying about the tint.. Instead we were telling that we don't have the tint issue.. I watched the video links posted.. But i dont have any such problem.. Or may be my eyes may not be capable to notice the tint issue :rolleyes::p

So why should one worry about a problem which doesn't create any inconvenience or problem :cool:

Enjoy the phone rather than finding the extremely small issues.. Who knows what happens to phone or us tomorrow :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] K14prasad:
Restarting

My s4 started restarting itself since saturday. Its not due to camera, had MF5 running, not overheating anytime.. it restarts approx every 1 hour but its very random, did a factory reset and finally gave it service centre.. they reflashed it and gave it back, but the problem did not go away. they say it might be a hardware issue and said they might change the motherboard. now the phone is with them. did a search, but could not find a similar issue. Any one found a similar fault?
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
the throttle down starts when the cpu temp touches 90C , the clock speed will be reduce be -200mhz and so on. It dosent have any big impact on performance. Even disabling a15 completely will not result in any performance issues. running antutu with a15 completely disabled gives around 18k score which is any day better than the perfomance of s3 ;)

In mobilefun 1886 for glass.t & 2264 for glass.tR... I was talking about glass.Tr
[Galaxy S 4 General] zeusumit:
ah...yes u r right..just noticed the diff in glass.t and glass.tr....

Glass.t is .23mm and Glass.tr is .40mm

I know Glass.Tr is the best as its more thick and can sustain more impact but just wanted to ask that hows Glass.t's performance?
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Well both have their advantages and disadvantages...glass.tr gives better protection..no doubt.. but u ll find that its not compatible with many of the cases...and when u ll put the phone facing downwards..glass ll be touching the surface with every case..which makes it more prone to scratches..also airview ll be even more jumpy when compared to glass.t

I hv been a fan of spigen..and hv tried almost all of their accessories except for the nano glass protector..

Glass.t is a very good choice imo...gives almost same protection as glass.tr(almost)...and is thinner..compatible with most of the cases...and glass ll not touch the surface while putting phone facing downwards if u r using a case with a bit raised bezel..

So its not like one is better than the other...both r targeted towards different ppl..

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

There is no reduction in performance..

The only issue which is common to all s4 is the smearing issue..which is not noticeable unless u look for it...

U ll hv no other issues if u buy ur phone carefully and responsibly..unlike some ppl here..

So follow some simple steps if u dont want to be irresponsible and to accuse ppl of lying..

1.dont buy the phone online..

2. Check fr everything u cn on the shop itself..

3. U hv 1 week grace period..if u find some faults later go and change ur handset for a completely new one..

4. *#0*# menu cn be useful for checking a lot of things on the spot..rest u ll hv to figure out urself..

5. During that week..try 2 use every feature..evn the ones u dont think r useful 2 u..

Whn u r buying any handset u shud check fr those..cuz the problems r not common at all...i hv seen very few with the problem..IN Person..not talking abt online..

So if u buy ur handset carefully u wont hv 2 tell anyone that all of the issues u r having r common..and then accuse them of lies..becuz other ppl r responsible whn buying their phone..

Lonelemanav let me tell u about the so called sexy phones

XPERIA Z

1. Astoundingly low earpiece, earphone volume. Useless when in traffic.

2. Ultra low contrast display good for nothing.

Viewing and seeing, both factors are lost. Now only feeling is left out. Which is good because its glass. But whats the point if we cant use the phone.

Doesnt katrina has minimum common sense to use the phone before signing for advertisements.

2. The HTC ONE

Intelligent to chose Krait 600 and then snap an audio amplifier on its incredibly quiet audio codec.

But again okish battery and no sdcard slot.

I think sammy is the best.

Now is it a worthy upgrade over s3 is a different question altogether.
