I shown my device but they dont want to repair. They don't count my issue seriously.. then what can I do.. I have bad experience with them..

1 year ago I gave my galaxy s(it had mic problem) they stole mobo and replaced..

And they made it scratch full device..

My phone at that time was 2 days old but after giving to these guys, they made it like dog eated it.

So, I don't wana take risk..

Hi mandeep.. do one thing google search for samsung ceo office. You will get a link. Submit your issue there.. they will call u back. My friend had an issue with his usb on an s4 which was 2 days old. They said there is water logging etc.. they were very rude.. he complained here and the next time he went there, they replaced it. Provide them with all the details about the service center. All thw best and let us know what happened
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mandeep148:
Many thing tried... I also contact online and phone call they said u should contact service center manager and I did.. I shown tint(tint is not much noticable) and more issues but he said display is working and its fine lol

Edit. Actually my phone is 1 month old they can still replace?

Can u give me link of ceo?

In service mode, when i select wifi, it shows wifi power save mode is ON.. What's that doing??
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Hey mandeep, I know how rude these people at service centers can be..

My phone used to produce ticking sound on vibration but as soon as you hold your phone from sides, the sound would dissappear. ( you could only hear it when phone was lying somewhere ) the first service center just heard me for 1 sec, saw the phone while holding it and said that its working fine and didnt even looked at me afterwards...

I went to another one and guys at there were great. They properly inspected the problem, asked me when it happens, when I noticed it first blah blah ..

Point is try another service center in your city...

They might be better then the first ones..:cool::D:thumbup:

Quick review on the s4 s view cover: a thick cover which well saves the camera lense from getting damaged due to its thicker design.. Holding the phone hasn't been more comfortable.. Even though the phone has become thicker, it's more comfortable.. The finishing of the flip isn't very good with a few threads loose here and there, but it's tolerable

The bad part about it is that it covers the notification led light
[Galaxy S 4 General] sebilrulz:
Hey. I bot the exo gear exo life case for the galaxy s4. It makes the phone a lil bulky and obviously nfc does not work. Besides that its a good case.

[Galaxy S 4 General] simpleparab:
Yes got update from play store.. interface is nice..

I m using S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
Can you please post some more pics and a bit more detailed review. I am dying to buy this case but wanted some insight into the looks, feel, bulkiness, and of course... battery life. Also, where did you get it from..?? ExoGear Website or Amazon?? Also can you post a pic with the S4 bare side by side to the case so that the thickness before and after can be compared??!!

Thanx in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] darshanbangre:
But no latitude, check in :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] sebilrulz:
I will post the pic once I get home.. I bot it from exogear website.. I did a preorder so shipping was free. It is bulky.. makes the thickness of the S4 increase 2 times and as I said nfc does not work with this case which is expected. I would suggest it to anyone who does not have access to their charger once a day. It protects the camera modulr a great deal.. as u can see in the previous pic. Battery like increases almost two times..
[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
Thanx for the update. Awaiting the pics and battery review..!!

Cool man..lucky :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] darshanbangre:
I read that by keyboard or using voice if you type "OK MAPS" in search it will cache the area in that search window.

Didnt try though.. I need latitude.. so reverted back to older version

Edit: Dear Mapping community,

The offline maps feature is not included in today’s release of the new Google Maps app (version 7.0) for Android.

We know a lot of you love offline maps, and we've included a special feature hidden in the app that allows you to pre-load an area of the map you need offline simply by going to that area in the app and typing “OK Maps” in the search box (or speaking “OK Maps” into your Android device). That area will then be pre-loaded to your device cache and accessible when you don’t have a connection. Just return to that area of the map, and it will be available to you.

[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
I have the Glas.tr one one of my S4. For the other I went to look Karol Bagh in Delhi. As I am a junior editor to a mobile website, I tend to look at the local market for accessories. I found a Tempered glass screen protector for rs.1000. It is as good as the glass.tr.

I mean the shopkeeper applied it to my S4 and banged the screen with a hammer and not even a scratch. It is pretty awesome. We will start selling it on our website within the week.

Trust me when I say that it is as good an alternative to spigen glas.tr as mime ghost glass.

And as it is available in India. It is much cheaper. I got the glas.tr for 3700 including everything and the otherone I got for 1000.

Ps. I got a free s view cover and a flip cover with my first S4. For the second I received it yesterday. With a fake date of purchase. Lolz. I have also ordered the zerolemon 7500mah extended battery. And I am waiting for a feedback from a user of the Exolife S4 battery case.

He told, he bought from delhi.. But how can a 28$ item be sold for 1000rs??if it's a genuine one, then its a good deal..do they have some authentication code spigen?

I think it's from you i heard about the spigen glass.tR.. thanks for info.. I'm so happy that i bought it.. Its so amazing.. Everything works fine, except the airview jumps lil bit near the edges..
[Galaxy S 4 General] rgshah3:
Heera Panna is full of fake stuff! But spending 2k on spigen and 400 on a Chinese product and both almost lasting the same, it's better to buy the Chinese one! You can buy 5 of them instead of 1 spigen
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
For sure there will be difference in quality in someway..

Only if quality of both were same what you told become accurate.. For example we can buy almost 10 fortuner for the money of one range rover vogue.. But are they equal?? Of course not..

Yes..airview ll be a bit jumpy on the edges..make sure ur case fits its perfectly..or ur case may come loose in case of a drop or something and hence taking a toll on the protection..

I ws talking abt screen quality dude..atleast i do care abt it..thats y i bought this device...or i wud hv bought a mid range phn..

Local protectors r more prone to scratches..and they lessen the quality of ur screen..sometimes they dont fit perfectly...making ur high end phone look..well..less high end..and may cause damage to ur device in case of a fall if they mess with ur case..

Okay so I am hearing a lot about screen protector. So what exactly it does ? Doesnt that increase the thickness of the phone and qe dont need to apply screen guard if we'll use screen protector?
[Galaxy S 4 General] nani67:
hi..

the discussion going on here in the forum is regarding the branded screen guards which are very thin ( 0.4 mm, if am not wrong ) and are aldo very strong, so that even if ur phone falls down they can minimize the impact and protect the screen.

u can get a screen guard for as low as Rs.70-80 in ebay or as high as 3700/- as quoted by some members in the forum.

it all depends on how good it is.

some screen guards like the ones we get at very low price are not of good quality and may impact the touch responsiveness and also may hamper the visibility.

so, going with a good quality one is better.

5 Chinese products will last more than 1 original :P

Just like spigen, even those are companies but working on a lower scale and China based due to the materials being cheap
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibymon:
As i said earlier, 10 Fortuner is not equivalent to one Range Rover.. Like wise even 5 Chinese products not equal to one Spigen..

Moreover its personal choice.. I will prefer a Range Rover any day even if it's expensive :D:cool:;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] rgshah3:
But after application of the Chinese product, you won't even realise the difference! Plus you can change it every 4-5 months and get a newer one even if you get a small scratch! Even if spigen gets a scratch, you'll think twice before changing it since its 2k

I would like a range rover too :P

if u chck out the Contacts or the Dial log where the default contact pictures are in Green, blue, yellow and Pink color, so was curious to know,

whether thy are marked randomly in different colors or do they mean something else. i know its a weird question but was just curious to know.
