Hi,

I'm having a very weird problem here...

My i9505, running Google Edition ROM 4.3 can't handle Photosphere. It aligns OK for the first shot, then starts drifting to the left, sometimes also downwards or getting skew. It's a slow process, hard to notice, bit it makes Photoshpere unusable.

If there is a fix for this, then I'd love to know, else I'd have to attempt restoring to stock i9505 software and returning to Amazon...

I9500 on rogers network

Hi,

My wife just recently picked up i9500 (international version) s4 and shes only been getting like EDGE like speeds. I know that the i9500 doesnt have LTE, but it should have a least 3g/4g compability. Right now, her phone is only showing G, and i downloaded the speed test app and its getting only 33kbps download speed.

Is the i9500 not compatible with 3g/4g Rogers frequencies? Do i need to look at the apn settings? Under the network mode option, it is defaulted to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode).

Any help to get this phone running on 4g is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
The I9500 doesn`t support LTE but it should to be able to handle at least 3G and 33kbps is very low. I would contact Rogers or look on the website for the correct Apn/3G settings to get better data trafficing. These are the supported 3G bands 850, 900 MHz, PCS, IMT, UMTS/HSP. 2G bands 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz, GSM / GPRS / EDGE.
