Totally random...

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Am currently on roaming so cant download the update ( crying..:( )

About my review for s view cover...

I used it for few hours and removed it.

It surely looks great, but opening and closing the flap hinders me to use this phone work only one hand...

It also becomes difficult to use camera and play games ( atleast for me )

I might get a hang of using all this hassle free with the cover in one hand after some time but since I was to leave for some another place today morning, I removed it for now...

And guys please do keep posting changelog after the duos update ( crying again ) that came just the day when I was to hit the streets ( now crying very loudly )..:p
[Galaxy S 4 General] .xxx.:
I am happy that I chose s4 over htc one.

Looking at the updates we are getting,I feel that this phone has taken over the market lately. Even the statistics says so ;)

I do have i9500 and a SanDisk 64gig UHS-1.

I am also getting the same lame speed of around 15MB/s (write) and double the read speed:(

Sorry guys to ask. I was reading some of the articles about S4 I9500 vs I9505. I thought I9500 is the international version with has Octa-core and doesn't support 4G LTE but the article says vice-versa. Is my understanding correct? Does I9500 supports LTE?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaidev.s:
Nope, and idoubt whether 9505's lte will work in indi.
[Galaxy S 4 General] venki5star:
You haven't answers for all my questions!
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaidev.s:
9500 does not support lte, ur understanding is correct and i guess the author of that article got the facts wrongly. Some versions of 9505 supports lte
[Galaxy S 4 General] zeusumit:
AFAIK, i9500 is an international version and it doesnot support LTE. Its only i9505 which is a LTE version.

But someone over XDA said that the lack of LTE in i9500 has been updated. Check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241571

But this is no where mentioned on the official site of Sammy or on wiki

i9500 is not the international version.. International version is i9505.. i9500 is using exynos big.Little architecture(octa core) while i9505 is using S600(quad core).. i9500 doesn't support LTE while i9505 does..

Its recommend..

[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
The story is partially true but our media always manipulates all news to present one or the other party in good/bad light..!!!! Also, the earlier case they talk about was proven false. Some guy had dropped his S3 in water and then tried to hide this fact by putting the phone in microwave..!! Samsung Caught him and proved that the damage was caused by external source..!!

Anyway, in this case, Samsung is at fault, they have already classified this as the fault of the device, though they have given the girl a replacement device and compensation with medical bills.

There is nothing there for i9500 . Only 9505 .

[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Yeah..but most of the US sites r trying 2 portray i9505 as the international version cuz it too hs launched in many places and its the first time that their version comes anywhere near the international version performance...thats y they r putting a mask on most of the stuff that clearly describe that i9505 is so inferior to i9500..

Only i9505 hs more developer support..evn that cud change if samsung just release their source code..

Exynos ll always be better than snapdragon when it comes to performance..samsung makes the best chips..

So they put better components in the models with their chip..

[Galaxy S 4 General] funtoosh:
Yeah this is my last Samsung phone, though the reason is not that they did not provided anything extra with the phone, well they never told they will give anything extra so i'm fine with it, but the reason is they don't provide what they advertise, they advertised 16 GB of internal memory, but we are just getting 8-9 GB of usable memory which is not acceptable, they need to keep their junk bloatware in separate memory or atleast they should be reasonable with it, like atleast provide 14-15 GB of usable internal memory

Samsung SUX and this is my last samsung phone. Apple ROX, they always give what they advertise, never going back to android for sure

I've spent a lot to buy S4 so still using it, but it could never become my primary phone, iphone 5 is still my primary phone

I'd be very surprised if that price was true.

And that reported US price is before tax...

Yes, that's how it works.. a cheap plastic but it's easy to manufacture,release,launch and hence costs less..

By the way i assume, who-ever here jumping for S4 are either Original Galaxy S or S2 users, no point for S3 or Note series user to jump for it.

Please one thing should be clear by now......

GALAXY S4 will launch at same S3 pricing in India.

Indian version will be based on "big-little" architecture based SOC ie it's Exynos Octa powered version

Last there is no LTE/4G version here (at-least for 1-2 more years, it will be like that)

You could've just posted all of it here instead of making us click that link. Cheap tricks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ckhurana:
Hmm.

For users already having a customized, fun to use and issue free S3, they can feel sure that S4 is not having any special stuff which could take it beyond S3's shadow.

As for me, I just hope the Exynos troubles have been ironed out. My S3 mo-bo died in 3 months... Same sudden death S3 issue :(

Have been waiting to get my hands on the S4 since then.

But now, after the launch, I find the shape (though tried and tested) is so much an antonym of *sexy*, I just hope our sub-continent gets a 4G Exynos version. That would really make this phone a minimum 2 year buddy
[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:

Plastic can be as durable as glass..!!! but i know how hot it can get in Oman.. have lived there for a while..!! but even if what you say above is true, Samsung knows this.. they will probably launch it in the cold contries like Americas and European nations, will probably have a glass screen option for other countries..!!
