You know what's great about the Internet? People can find something somewhere that proves just about any point they want to make. Whether it's valid or not.

The s/w at the launch event where the pics OP posted were taken was two revisions ago. GSMArena tested with what was shipped out on the review devices when they did their One vs. SGS4 comparison which was the second revision. They posted this along with pics taken with the newest (and shipping) s/w.

Update,

April 12

: We got our hands on a retail unit of the Galaxy S4. Here are some samples shot with the market-ready Galaxy S4​

Here's the link for those that are objective...

This is a bit like arguing which is better a macro lens or a wide angle lens. It's clear the One wins in low light portrait situations and the S4 in daylight landscape like situations. Which is better, depends on the situation. Personally I like cycling and have taken some nice landscapes with my phone because it's easy to carry and you need a phone anyway, so I will miss those pictures but on the other hand I have taken many night shots with my phone too and they are mostly crap but I usually have a camera around then too....

Anyway which one is better depends on your personal use

I have an Sprint EVO 3D and have updated to the latest CM 10.1 Wild For the Night ROM. I works very well except for the 3G (I don't know about 4G because my area doesn't offer it). All I have is 1x. On stock, 3G works, but every time I flash to CM 10.1, I lose my 3G. Was just wondering if there was any fix for this. My baseband version is 1.09.00.0108. PRL is 21095. Thanks ahead of time
[HTC EVO 3D] martychan:
Does the 3G have a X on the the side of it?

3G doesn't show up. Just 1x. View attachment 1888493

Pull down the tab and go to the settings then click the 3G

The x should go away if not try reflashing the rom
[HTC EVO 3D] jaws95678:
There is no 3G. Just 4G settings. I've flashed this ROM about 10 times. I've flashed back to stock and back to CM 10.1 and no change.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Friday I bought an unlocked Att galaxy note 2 from craigslist. I took it hope and ported my att straight talk number from the normal sd card to the Att mini sd. I waited until my number ported, put my card into the phone. I turned on my phone and had 4g serivce all day. Next morning I had nothing. I would flux between 4g, edge and nothing. As of today, i don't get 4g at all. I'm lucky to hit 1 bar of edge. Now when I don't have serive, I get nearly full bars of emergency calling. I tried the tmobile sim from straight talk and my fiancee's tmobile pay as you go card. Same deal. I tried every apn setting I could dig up. I also checked to see that the IMEI wasn't blocked. Any help would be nice. this is would be one heck of an expensive 5" tablet considering I have a nexus 7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdtp:
Custom ROM, unlocked? You ordered the micro SIM from straight talk? Have you tried an att SIM card? you said you got the same thing from your GF's t-mobile SIM, could it be that straight talk registered your SIM with only t-mobile towers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
They person said they unlocked throug att. It was unrooted w/ stock rom. Ordered, no but my micro sd was from a kit I bought when I started straight talk. It was the att straight talk micro sim. It didn't come with a micro tmobile sim so I had my normal sim cut. I tried both of those and my gf's tmobile sim. All three had the same results. I'd get service for maybe an hour then it mostly stay in emergency. I unlocked the aws bands and I got service for a bit but then back to not able to find. Under network operators it can usually only find ATT. I rooted and flashed a stock tmobile rom (read it might help) and nothing. I did notice that sometimes when I restart the phone it will say Att, like its trying to connect. I'm starting to think that the people I got it from maybe didn't unlock the phone. It seems to want to connect only to att but I'm not getting any kind of message saying my sim is invalid or anything. I checked the IMEI number and it says it's not blacklisted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok if your placing a different carrier SIM in your phone, and your not getting any kind of SIM pop up! Then the phone should b unlocked!! As far as the signal not sticking might just ba modem thing. So if you haven't tried changing the radio/modem then that would b your next option. One other thing is to check your APN setting also! That may also help you out. I made a list if you need them!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Nope, never got any kind of sim pop up other than the one at start up that says prepairing.

The modem/radio thing, is that when you hit *#7284# and change it to the second one from the bottom? Or is it more of something I need to download and flash? Like I said, I did the aws enable thing.

More detail on my signal change is, I'll be at 4g after a factory reset. I'll get 4g with near full bars. After a short time it will either drop to edge with maybe 1-2 bars or just get emergency signal. Mostly it sits on emergency. I've only seen it try to connect to att with a tmobile sim a few times last night while working on it. I was questioning the antenna being broken but I usually get near full bars of emerency.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
#1 you do have a TMO GN2 right?

#2 are you still on stock Rom?

#3 the*#7284 menu, don't know who told you to go in there but that's not how you change your modem at ALL!!

You flash your new modem in recovery as you do any other zip file!

#4 did you try changing your APN setting, or setting up a new 1??

I'm my buddies TMO GN2. He has a TMO modem, with att apn setting.

So if it's an actual TMO GN2 then add I said b4, your ok flashing a TMO modem/radio. Whatever you want to call it!!!

Do me a favor take a screen shot of your about phone. And I'll b able to c what you have!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
I'll get screen shots when I get home from work. I don't the phone with me.

1. I have an Att unlocked GN2

2. I'm on stock rom, but I'm rooted with CWM recovery.

3. I unlocked the aws settings to open up the tmobile abilites this phone as built in (according to the instuctions and such from galaxynote2root.com). That answer is also why i dialed the funky *# number.

4. I did not try the settings from your link. My GF has the phone during the day since she doesnt need to have solid service. Thats why I'm using her tmobile account. eventually I'll be popping in my straight talk sim if I can get this to be something more than an expensive 5" tablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Here are the some screen shots from my status menu. I hope I blocked all the stuff that I needed too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
That's the kind of things that Happen when imei is blocked.. But as you said you checked maybe call again to see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
I guess I can check again. I've check a couple times. Its just wierd that when I flash a rom or factory reset or sometimes it only takes a restart but I'll get like 5-13 m/bs downloads on 4g for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Then It will just pass between edge and emergency. I wish I had a true att card to test it on to see if it works for them. I'm going to try my new att straight talk sim tonight and if that doesn't, I think I'm done messing with it. Just going to sell it as is and pick up a nexus 4 or GSIII.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
Hopefully it works and it doesn't end up blocked cause thats some messed up people that do that I bought my first note 2 on Craigslist and it had a screen protector on it after I got home took it off some many scratches on it . Guy said it was brand new . He also changed his number when i tried calling him . My brother also got scammed with a blocked imei I dont understand how people do that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Yeah. This guy has remained n contact and stuff. It was sold as "like new" but there were a few scratches on it. Good thing is zagg covered them up. Bad thing is, I spent $45 on a nice case and zagg for a phone that I can't seem to use. I did find someone at my work willing to pop their att sim in tomorrow and see how that goes. This is the nicest phone I've used. I like pretty much everything about it. It's a big upgrade from my google nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I understand what you mean! But there are those type of people out there always trying to get over:mad:. Or make a quick buck$!! Which is SAD. Guess that's why I always buy my phones from the AT&T Store. Never any problems!

Side note: Always over inspect something your buying from someone online!!! Especially electronics...

Just my 2¢®

Ok that's good your going to check it with a actual AT&T SIM. Cause then you'll know if it's the phone or the other SIM card you have?? If it still acts up with the AT&T SIM. Then it's the phone!!:banghead:

I've also read that the SIM tray could b messed up, possibly? :confused:

Some owners had reported there's being damaged!!

QUESTION?? I went back thru the post and noticed you said you had, a micro sim kit? Is it something to make a micro out of a regular SIM? If that's the case then I hope that's not causing your problems. Or even started them!

Well let me know what happens when you try out the AT&T SIM card!

One other thing you can try is to put the stock firmware back on the phone and see if that restores everything back to normal for you. Just a taught... because maybe,, that guy had flashed a Rom on there. But just put back what he taught was a stock Rom. Like one of the stock releases from here..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
I bought a straightalk kit from walmart. It comes with a 1 month card for service and 3 sims. 1 normal att st sim, 1 micro att sim and 1 normal tmobile st sim. The problem is once you activate an att card and then switch to another one, that card is dead. Att is trying to get out of st.

I did root at one point but then return it to stock after. I recently rooted and flashed again to try out a tmobile rom.

This is a lesson for me. I didn't know about IMEI on a phone so I didn't know it was easy to screw someone. I paid 350 for the phone. I guess that was too good to be true. As much as I like this phone, I think I should have just bought the nexus 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
When you checked again was the imei blocked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok so you think the imie# blocked, messed up some how?? Just as Brazil said is the unblocked or unblocked on AT&T??

And yes I know AT&T is trying to get away from ST! But shouldn't be problem for you to use ST from TMO or AT&T. Which they both share.. FYI

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
Reason I thought it was blocked was because my brother got scammed with a blocked imei and he would put the sim in it will work then signal will just drop then he will restart it and it work then always keep droping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
That is kind of what is happening to me. I have done several IMEI checkers and they all come back valid. I just checked again and it's still marked as valid. I'm porting my st number from regular sim to micro now. Its been about 2 hours so hopefully it activates soon. I'm hoping it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
If it is somehow blocked, is there anything I can do, or do I just sell it for parts or use it as a nice paperweight?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
First I would call AT&T and double check and see if it's something on there end! If you haven't already..

But if it is blocked somehow?:confused:

But from the sounds of what Brazil said it may b somewhat blocked:mad:!

I've read that you can sell it to someone, international! And it should work for them if you need to sell it! Do a lil searching b4 u just let it go 4 to cheap.. Lol

Also did you check with your friends AT&T sim yet?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
If it is blocked it will sell for much cheaper. You could try selling on ebay for international people. I know if I was Verizon and esn was bad you can use it on straight talk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Not yet. I'm waiting for my number to port over to my att st sim. The reason I think it isn't blocked is because my service doesn't just stop shortly after boot. I'll get sparatic service all day. I mean 4g to 3g to edge to emergencey to sometimes nothing back to edge..etc, etc.

*edit

I tried my coworker's sim. For over an hour and a half he held signal with his att card. It went from between 3g and 4g but he still go it. He gets full bars here on his iphone 4s but with mine he was getting between 2 and 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
Maybe there's just something wrong with the phone its self maybe he opened it up to repair something and didn't put it back together right .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
So that sounds like you not BLOCKED as you said!! Which is a good thing.. :thumbup:

Because it's holding the signal when you popped in the regular AT&T SIM. Which I taught was going to happen. Ok when your number is finally ported over, and it's still acting up then it's that SIM card you have been using!!:what:

Hopefully after you get everything done, ported, tested, everything will work out for you. Fingers crossed :D:D

Could be possibility also:confused:. But remember it worked fine with the regular AT&T SIM in!! Which I was thinking was going to happen.. Lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
So far with my sim in, I've held a signal for the last couple hours. It is fluxing from 3g to h+. Mostly H. The bars are going from 1-full at random. I saw a video of a note1 where they guy forced it to hold h. Is that an option for this? I can see the constant flux killing my battery. I'm thinking it could possibly be an antenna issue but I dont know. My service at home isnt as good so that will be a true test. Here at work, I should be getting steady full bars. maybe 4 bars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Mine does the same thing flipping back and forth. From 4g, 3g, H. But doesn't bother my battery tho! Let me know if it gets better at work!! Also the phone sounds like it's fine not blocked.. :thumbup:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Oh yeah, I've been at work testing it. On my g nexus Id get full bars of solid 4g here at work no matter what sim I used. With this phone its been in flux constantly. I only hit edge and dropped signal once when I went into the bathroom. When I get home will be the test because my service isnt as good there. I usually get 3-4 bars but sometimes full on my g nexus so this one might get nothing.

Have you tried or changed the modem on that phone to the newest release? Also changing the APN...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
I have the standard att st apn settings. I just didnt put in the proxy. I get the same speeds wether I use port 80 or no port. I don't know how much else I can change. But on a new turn of events, I did flash the Att modem that is under the "one stop shop for roms etc etc" thread under development. I can say I'm getting stronger signals when Im running that. I did do it before I went to bed so that could just be a temporary thing. I did however notice that when I run wifi at home it seems to kill my signal. And I mean kill it, at one point it took away all signal, even emergency. It will pretty much drop me down to 1 bar of service soon as I turn it on. So is that an issue thats happened before? Also should I flash a new kernal maybe? I've never done that before. I'm running the latest jedi rom now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
As an update, I decided not to give up on the phone just yet. I'm stubbern. I find that in a place of great signal, I get good signal. In weaker spots, I get bad signal. I have a couple ideas behind this,

1. I'm on straight talk 4g and I have an att unlocked 4g lte phone. Could the LTE be messing with my reception?

2. Bad GSM Antenna. Bought a replacement, should be here today.

3. Bad wire antenna, Bought one, should be here by May. (Coming from hong kong)

4. Bad or missing golden antenna things on the case. No idea how to fix that.

If anyone has any info reguarding option 1, I'm all ears. I'll be poping in the new gsm antenna when I get home. I'm getting overall better signal since I flashed the att modem fix. Problem is, The phone cant decide if it wants 3g, H or 4g. It bounces between the 3 randomly but all the time. In lower coverage areas, I get E and G thrown in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
I had the note 2 just sold yesterday it always bounces around . depending on the area I go but I don't think you will get 4g with straight talk only H+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodom85:
Ohh, I thought H+ was 4g. Yeah, I should get solid coverage. I live in Pittsburgh and with the same service on my galaxy nexus, I got solid full bars of H+ here at the office and about 4 or full bars at home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
Oh then maybe with your new parts it will work
