First, you're an HTC fanboy. Don't deny it...its obvious to anybody who reads your posts. You claim that using polycarbonate is a bad thing for the GS4 but when HTC uses it for their phones its okay because its the best available?

Being an obvious fanboy discredits everything you say. Try to be more unbiased and truly neutral.

Now with that out of the way...

I believe HTC began truly failing as a company when they started with the One X series. They axed their expandable storage slots and the removable battery. The Inspire 4G was am aluminum unibody design and yet it had both a removable battery and expandable storage. So why not the One X and its successors? They're going the wrong way with their products and their marketing and they're getting obliterated as a result. I'm not going to say its a "bad" device, but it definitely has its flaws and they're huge deal breakers.

One thing they usually do get right is aesthetics. They make fantastic looking phones and it shows with the One, but unfortunately that's about where it stops with them these days.

Oh and before you go off accusing me of being a Samsung fanboy, every phone I've owned since my 2G Motorola RAZR has been HTC.

The S4 does look better than the S3 and pentile or not the screen is gorgeous!

It really irks me when people are going banana over point number 3 without even hearing what the people who had feel the GS4 in real life and the screen performance. http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-57574558-85/samsung-galaxy-s4-display-looking-good-expert-says/

The fact that it uses PHOLED and different pixel arrangement seems to be ignored in favor of "BUT MUHHH PENTAILLL IZ BLUISZ".

As for point number 5, I think too many ignores how significant big.LITTLE can be if it can produce a significantly better real world result of battery usage.

As for the design, yes it might be boring and plasticky but hey, I'm not just salivating over a phone's form factor, I'm actually staring at the screen doing something.

You call that proof ? One day sammo bile would come out and say S5 will have quantum processor ,you.will leave all other phones for that right?

NO lol

You will only trust those rumors in which you see something against Samsung,that shows you are trolling here.

pentile or not doesn't really make a difference when ur talking bout 400+ ppi... if u can tell the difference den congrats for having super human eyesight, won't be surprised if u get headhunted by certain branches of the military...
[Galaxy S 4 General] iampun33t:
Touche..!!! Even I am amazed at what Samsung has brought out..!! It is a great device. Looks and feel do not surpass the performance of the hardware and the software. People who worry more about the premium finish of aluminium should run over to Apple. I guess the iPhone 5 looks even better than the HTC One.!! I fell that GS4 is a really great device and with the correct pricing, would blow out all others..!!

Most are coming to conclusion that Amoled pentile display doesn't make any difference. And they are right for so high pixel density.

But what about the oversaturated colors or the bluish tint with these displays? Is the fanboyism making them to defend this drawback or people overlooking this. Coming from a GS3 owner...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Livebyte:
Pentile won't make a difference with insanely-high PPI displays.

But the one thing AMOLED severely lags is long-term use. My screen already burned in after 4 months of heavy use.

Bad AMOLED. I prefer LCD just because of longevity.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
The bluish tint is gone as the matrix the are using isn't pentile

and oversaturated is an opinion plus we haven't seen the s4 screen yet
[Galaxy S 4 General] tbong777:
Agreed and why would anyone be concerned about slight "blue tinting" on a camera phone. Maybe on a Nikon D7100 which costs about twice as much and does ONE thing. or even a D3200. Sometimes I think if Samsung's entire sales we dependent on XDA members they would sell TVs only...but then you have the handful at AVS forums that can see a dead pixel 200 feet away.

The only use for this forum for Samsung are those developers cooling using leaked FWs on Stock ROMS as us willing beta testers. I don;t think they are concerned with Cyanogen or any Developers that want to wipe Samsung from their devices and still have all the hardware work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] STrider90:
2) Xperia ZL have best screen-to-size ratio

4) Xperia Sola have Floating Touch, and can be used with glowes, and it's a whole year old (same with Nokia 920). Xperia ZL have IR sensor and remote control, HTC One also (Nokia had that 5 years ago). Barometer have a bunch of phones (example, again, Xperia ZL). Xperia Z, ZL, LG Optimus Pro haved 13mpix camera much before GS4. Nokia N8 has much better camera than any of those phones, and it's 3 year old phone. Anything that you mentioned is no real innovation, only recycled thing from other manufacturers

5) It is, because only 4 cores can work at the same time. We have yet to wait for testing, because we don't know how Android work with this kind of proccesor, to determine which is faster - Snapdragon 600 or Octa core Exynos

7) Xperia ZL is 5mm shorter

Deny any of this, if you can.

This is useless thread.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chillz88:
Xperia sucks dude- a glass slab with poor hardware..laggy software poor screen..

Sony is not even the equation of innovation... sola had floating stuffs but it wasnt executed properly and it was a fail. Just as the current xperai z's

[Galaxy S 4 General] tbong777:
Sony looks interesting. Thanks for forcing me to take a look at the Z threads. they love their devices as much as we love the Samsuungs. Sometimes I get a little tunnel vision when I find a Manufacturer I like. But I am still holding out for a 6+ inch screen and interchangeable batteries...

You are obviously blinded by fanboyism do u really think that arm (yes the same people behind almost all smartphone processors including the Xperia Z) and Samsung would screw up so bad that the singular reason for the extra 4 cores being used wouldn't function

NO it wasn't it is a relevant thread u have made a useless post

S4 INFO
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
How about starting with the ZL being 2mm thicker, dummy? The SGSIV is by accurate measurements 75,4 cm3, the SXZL is 89,4cm3, therefore the Sony is a 18,5% larger.

Phones have 3 dimensions, deny it if you can. :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] GGXtreme:
The oversaturated colors and bluish tint have nothing to do with these display types. Even PenTile AMOLED is capable of delivering an accurate 6500K color temperature and natural colors, but it's entirely down to the screen tuning. That's why Samsung includes the options for aRGB and sRGB ('Movie') in the display settings—you don't have to stick with the wider gamut if you don't like it. On top of that, the 'bluish' tint is nowhere near as bad as it was with earlier devices. In fact, the HTC One had an even stronger blue push than the Galaxy S3 (which had a primarily green push), resulting in the PenTile AMOLED display having a more neutral and accurate white point than the competing LCD. If they redid their tests with the gamut set to movie, the delta readings would have been much closer to what they saw on the One's display (maybe even better since the One's screen didn't perform too well to begin with).

I think you're in the wrong thread/forum. This isn't the place for people to advertise their Sony fanboyism or make purchasing decisions based on whether phones are 5mm shorter.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Andrewtst:
1) It is Polycarbonate but Samsung one does not look as solid as Nokia build. No metal on side, it was look like but not real.

2) Design probably 90% look like S III, but it was 99% look like Note II. Nothing new here, Samsung just recycle the design.

3) It still is PenTile AMOLED.

4) Those functionality is quite innovation, I agree on that.

5) It useful or not, too earlier to tell.

6) 13MP or what MP, important is it output.

7) This part Samsung is success as they build similar (actually smaller) size than S III.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
For your 2nd point: Didn't HTC do something similar with a lot of their phones for a few years? Pre-One X, of course.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Andrewtst:
Every company got it own design trademark, but they is changes to make you know which is which.

S 4 is totally no changes, you can't really tell which is which, acceptable if similar design within a year for different model (like S III and Note II same design which was OK), but S 4 was next generation of S III, they still use back recycle design, which is KO.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
Talk about fanboy. You come from HTC to a S4 forum to discredit a superior product. Your argument is that Samsung is doing like Apple. What about HTC? The One is an even slighter update from the One X. Only very few minor details in the specs but they changed the look. Wow what a difference. You can just buy a protective case and have the same result.

Please see my signature before judge.

HTC One will be my 2nd HTC phone only if Nexus One consider as HTC phone.

I use before/suggest S II, W(my sister), S III(current phone) and Note II(my sister), and plenty others Samsung phone during not smartphone time. I also use Samsung Nexus 10 tablet, I probably use more Samsung than you.. which part show me I am HTC fans. I am not any brand fans, any better, I will use any. Why need to tide with brand, the brand never give you any money also.

Also if you think One is minor updates from One X on hardware spec, this was same case on S 4 vs S III.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zetsumeikuro:
#1.) It's glass it will still scratch no matter how reinforced it is. A lot of the reviewers say that the backplate is still flimsy and brittle.

#2.) Most people prefer drastic changes vs subtle.

#3.) S4's display brightness is 258 lux vs S3's 213 lux.. Doubt that's a really huge change.

#4.) Some don't care about the Samsung software featues and just purchase the device for hardware. Yes we know there is the Nexus 4 (no LTE no ty) You probably won't notice the "huge" boost in performance except for numbers in benchmarks. I'm sure games will benefit from the upgraded SoC's but how much will we really see? I know when time goes on we will probably see the performance differences in the devices. But when that time comes the S4 successor will probably will already be out or close to release. http://betanews.com/2013/03/15/why-im-not-impressed-by-the-new-samsung-galaxy-s4/ has a nice write up about S4's "innovations"

#5.) No arguements here.

#6.) Don't care about the camera so no comment.

#7.) We really can't say anything about that personally until we actually HOLD the devices ourselves now can we?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jimmy2027:
Hmmm.. to be honest I still think its just a bunch of bloats. Unless you are working professionals and really NEED those extra features on your phone in day to day basis, I don't think the general population will care much. The only one I am interested in is larger battery capacity. More performance? I think the quad core on S3 is already more than enough! If you are a REAL serious gamer or some one who REALLY needs all those extra performance for video rendering purposes or who knows what, get a decent laptop for your use.

Actually the S-voice is very usefull when you drive. I can answer the phone, switch songs, adjust the volume while driving and not touch the phone at all. Also the Voice activated camera feature is cool. How many times did you need to ask someone to take a picture of you and your loved one? Well this time is over,Just put the phone there and shout "SHOOT". Everybody is turning around and you look like a fool but it's even more funny.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jimmy2027:
That is funny, either you or someone else still need to use hands to hold your phone to take pictures. Doesn't S3 already have the S voice feature tho.:confused: I think the S voice software can be improved via mods. The thing I find the most hilarious is the gifted ability of Samsung to diss its "potential" customers away every time a "new big thing" comes out, like the time when S3 came out.

I don't think you need a new battery. I had this identical problem with my nexus 7 and found this

Connect the charger to your Nexus 7, then plug the charger in to an outlet.

Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.

Press Volume down until you find Power off, then press Power to select that option.

When your tablet is off, disconnect the charger, then reconnect it.

fixed my nexus 7 and would no longer drain while on charge and being used. Also you need to work out which app is causing it or you will need to do it again in a while (though I have no idea what caused my n7 to drain). good luck.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmascosta:
Hi everyone!!

Quick introduction: I'm just a regular guy, not that tech-y, that purchased a Galaxy Note for note taking in classes. And i have a problem: the bottom android is a pain for note taking. So, while searching for a solution, I ended up here. Of course, one thing leads to another and after reading a few threads, I already realized that are other "tweaks" I would like to make to my tablet that I didn't even knew I wanted ;) But let's go step by step.

I've been reading the samir_a excelent thread, Guide - Installing Firmware, CWM recovery & Rooting, that seems to be the beginning of everything (correct me if I'm wrong). And I'm convinced I know how to do it... how to root, how to install firmware, so on. What I don't understand is what these actions actually do. In other words, I don't understand most of these concepts - like "rooting", "firmware", "CWM", etc etc etc - so I ended up not getting the process. Sometimes I feel like you guys are speaking other language that not English.. :D So sorry if some of these questions are dumb...

- Root the device means getting access to do stuff that I can't do without that, correct? Like entering as "root" in Linux - you can do stuff that you can't with other users. Is that it?

- I read a lot that to move the navigation bar to the top of the device I need to root it. But is just that? I root the device and boom... the top bar is on the top?

- Is "install a firmware" the same as "install a ROM"? (meaning, is it like install a new operation system in the device)

- The CWM Recovery... what is it?? Is it like.. to create a system recovery image, or something??

- Lastly... does any of these - rooting, installing ROM, etc - void the manufacturer warranty? And if yes, is there any way to undo that in case something happens?

Once again, sorry if these are dumb questions (or don't even make sense). And thanks for your patience! :)

Cheers!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charly-whiskey:
Right!

No. But after rooting you may download and "install" (flash via CWM) a mod that does that.

Yes. Actually there is a difference between a rom an a kernel. Kernel is the core system adapted and customized to the model of your gadget, the Rom the user interface, simply spoken. Different roms may be based on the same kernel.

The stock recovery does not allow to flash custom roms, to make nandroid backups (full backups of your operating system / Rom / Kernel, CWM recovery does. But vou need to find the cwm that is made for your device!

Yes an Yes! With a pc and Odin you can flash back to your original Rom your device was delivered with.

If that helped, just press the thanks-button.
