actually mine is m1 set. somehow the m1 craps is gone after factory default. left the samsung crap. which about 230mb. no that much
[Galaxy S 4 General] currway:
You'd only need to do a factory data reset to remove the star hub / M1 bloat crap. Reason is simple, factory data reset wipes out whatever apps which are in /data partition and not the /system partition.

The telco crap are stored just in /data partition. How silly.

Sorry for my bad English, I mean you had to backup all the personal data in internal sd card either to pc or to your external sd card. F. reset in Stock recovery will wiped off all including formatting internal sd card. I used super backup for calender and contacts to ext sd card. Used titanium Backup for installed applications backup to external sd card.

Flashed back latest Sg mf8 csc and checked by csc select what code you have. By doung this generally yoyr 4g will be back in phone setting. Changing of csc code will wipe your data. Backup is importance. Flashing of csc is best with stock recovery. You can used sgs4 flasher fir changing recovery which was safe and fast.

[Galaxy S 4 General] 1337RYoN:
So apparently it wasn't actually a preorder, just a 'registration of interest'. Anyone knows how this actually helps in getting my phone earlier? Singtel, M1 and StarHub didn't give any info. Would be glad if anyone could enlighten me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MasK:
Well, M1 closed their registration of interest due to over-whelming response. So I do believe that ROI is like an unofficial reservation, and you'll probably have a higher priority in getting your set. However, Starhub did mention that ROI does not guarantee a set. A booking is required afterwards.

Here's my email for ROI:
[Galaxy S 4 General] 1337RYoN:
Yeah, I asked a singtel worker about it and he said that the registration gives the registered users first priority to purchase the handsets. However they did mention this in their email

1. Registration of interest does not guarantee a purchase or stock reservation.

Haiz.... sold my S4 and got back a Note 2 LTE..

Reasons as follow..

1.Battery life not as good as note 2. Normally end of the day around 6pm my Note2 will left with at least 50% juice wherea S4 left 10%+..

2. Phone gets real hot to my comfort.

3. Seriously laggy although i had removed all bloatware. Should b addressed with firmware updates furture down the road.

*** I m comparing S4 against Note 2.

Still prefer larger screen but S4 size is just nice to hold. Guess will b waiting for Note 3...

Cheers
