[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davith:
I really wanted to like the S4 but the apparent lag has killed my interest. It's a shame that even with such great hardware, Samsung devs can still only code with their feet. I may stick to my N4 or go with the One but the lack of external storage is kind of an issue for me. Still not enough to convince me to go for the laggy S4 mind.

Get it together Samsung!

Gonna wait for a few months and see what the CM team can do. They won't have to deal with the sh***y Exynos this time around.

I've got a N4,HTC One and bought a S4 today.

The N4 is the best in terms of fastness, smoothness and lagfree.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
So where does the S4 place in this top three then?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roswell782:
1.N4

2.H1

3.S4

I don't use another launcher so maybe Sense is just faster and smoother than TW.

Weird I just tried an s4 again in a different CPW and this one didn't lag, seemed much faster?

I haven't try the audio yet on the S4 and i have a mod on the N4 which is perfect for me.

Strangely i'm not really impressed by beats audio on the H1 i don't understand all the hype on it, ok it's good but not amazing at all.

I also have a HTC One and that device feels much smoother.

s4 stutter on att

I would like to add to the discussion a little. I am with ATT and have the s4. I was an s2 user and after excitingly awaiting the release of the s3, I was so dissapointed. I had to wait for the s4 and after a slight amount of research decided to splurge on it. I too am dissapointed with the ui lag (even after changing various developer options). Is there any news from samsung regarding this or can we expect the issues to be fixed with software, or is it beyond software and optimization?

Side note..it is comical that people are are only obsessed with the One and s4. Go play with the LG optimus G and explain to me that lighting speed. It is so fast and fluid it hardly makes sense. still, in my excitement and commitment to samsung, this is what I went with. I can be patient, but is a fix coming? Can anyone who is is reputable or connected to samsung in any way make contact regarding lag issues and TW bulkiness? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeamznz:
I have seen and read alot of reports of lag on the S4. I personally haven't noticed any at all weather that be in TW or in third party apps

i cant see any lags on my GT-I9500 octa. Im using Nova launcher, disabled S-Voice for Home Button and using perseus kernel. but i haven't noticed any lag before. sometimes it seems to get near to 30 fps for a second when sliding on the home screen, but its very rar and most people wouldnt notice it. i can recommend it, no lag problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LocutusEstBorg:
Get an iPhone 64GB. After using Android for years and going back to the iPhone, you'll feel everything is gimmicky and stupid in these mindlessly pumped out devices by HTC and Samsung.

Using Android means you've got to learn to live with lag. It's like using Linux on the desktop. It will always be unresponsive and substandard. The advantages are growing scarce with each update. The only major gripe I had with iOS was no notification centre and quick toggles but that's fixed now. My next device is going to be a 5S. I'm abandoning the thousands of bucks I spent on Android apps.

Android is great compared to ios. U can do so much with android but with ios Ur stuck with a flat os for life. I really think iPhones are good but not great anymore.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
This, while true, doesn't resolve the fact that an Apple device IS smoother than an Android device. No matter what phone, tablet, OS-version, etc. you use, you will always have lag sometimes. Really really annoying and rather incredible on a quad-core 1.9GHz device with 2GB of memory.

Wouldn't want to trade it for an iPhone even if they paid me $1000, but that's another story.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paras:
Ofc it will be as Apple takes care of hardware and software but that's not the case with android. If u want no lag then try Google edition phones.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Probably would agree that iOS is smoother, although not by such a great deal as it previously has been. To be honest I find that the transitions/animations look slower/sluggish (not laggy, but just not as snappy) on the iPhone when recently comparing an iphone 5s and my Galaxy S4. I think the iphone is definitely less impressive than it used to be due to the enhancements android has had since Jellybean onwards. I have changed the animation speeds to 0.5 in the developer settings which obviously helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Of course already tried GE, tried "all" Roms. They are all, on average, less smooth than an iOS device. All of them.

Just got the One recently, and I love it.

But what will happen if HTC as a company fails and closes down?

Will HTC phone owners still get support? Will we still get bug fixes and updates?

I really hope they succeed, because the One is a beauty.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Of course not. Do you see Saturn repairing cars still?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This would be an act of customer service. When companies are dying all they are focused on is damage control and selling off assets. Helping customers doesn't get HTC any money if they're going bankrupt in the first place. Therefore it would be foolish to expect this.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sKrAm_2013:
Don't Worry

I doubt HTC will go bankrupt and shut down operations.... and if by chance they do....xda is a solid community and it's developers will make roms and ports with new google updates....atleast for the next few years.

so i wouldn't worry much. enjoy that beast of a phone you have there and stop the worrying.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CiDhed:
Yes. They just do them at the GM stores now. The people who had warranties didn't lose them. Our old Saturn stores still carry stock of Saturn parts and take old customers who own Saturns even though they now sell Fiat.

It's a big IF but if HTC did go pop then xda would be the best source for updates (as usual) for the next couple of years at least.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id_mew:
I thinks it's a reasonable thread. When consumers buy expensive products they tend to look at what kind of warranty and support a company offers.

Yes, I do. Saturn is still repairing cars that are covered. The internal paperwork still goes the same place it did when Saturn still had storefronts.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ports394:
Hey dumbass. Read.

GM was the parent company of Saturn. -- Ever notice that a bunch of Saturn cars looked like Buicks, GMs, Chevy's, Pontiacs? Because they were the same.

Saturn is dead as a car manufacturer. Federal and State laws require GM to manufacture replacement parts for 8-15 years to service all the Saturns and Pontiacs sold through 2011. So that cars still get serviced...since most of their cars were the same as other GM cars, with a different brand badge.

Next.

If HTC goes out of business. "You all can go screw yourself." That's going to be their attitude about it. You can service your own phones, and write your own updates & fixes for it.

Example: Palm & the Pre/WebOS. Palm went goodbye, and all the Pre owners were SOL. FYI...yes HP bought Palm for a bit... big f**** deal.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ports394:
HTC is clearly falling behind the other OEMs. Their manufacturing partner delayed the ONE because HTC wasn't a big enough, tier-one customer. They do need to get revenue and profits up, otherwise they will be sitting around waiting for some holding company (or idiots like HP) to come buy them up.

Hi Folks,

I live and work in the US, but also travel to Europe a lot.

I want to buy an XDA II (I already have XDA/T-Mobile).

Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy one is (without a contract) and what price I could expect to pay.

I am seeing them on eBay in the US for $900 and thought someone here may be able to point me in the direction of somewhere I could get one for a better price?

I can take delivery in the US or the UK, but want to make sure I have no problems unlocking the phone for use with a T-Mobile SIM card...

Thanks for any help.

Geoff

I bought a new one at www.tekntoys.com they were in Canada I buy mine in less than $850 and I am very satisfied about there policy. I did buy the MDA-II instead of i-Mate. They actually shipped my MDA late for a week and as a complement they give me an extra battery and I am happy with thier service. Todd and his emplyees actually friendly I call them from time to to to check my order. They give me everything info that I need on whats going on.

So when you think about buying new one try them. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
Hello,

I just got the new Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS which has the App Radio functions built in. I have bought ArLiberator and now have full control over my android device. Awesome. One great feature of the AVH-X8500BHS is if you hold down the "home" button on the radio it launches voice control. What this does is open a screen on the radio and then activate the default voice control app on the smartphone.

However, Android is only listing three options to take voice commands: One is Google Search which doesnt even show up in my app list. Instead I want to be able to open Voice Search which opens a Google Now app that actively waits for input.

Is there anyway to tell google to classify Google Voice Search as one of the apps that can be opened?

As mentioned, you really need to try them.

But I understand why you are asking as for the less technically competent user (i.e. me) its hard to easily flash and switch, and its hard to really gauge all the differences.

I do think its personal and depends on what you are looking for.

I can tell you for me I have tried a few and settled on Embryo. Its very stable for me, and with others I found myself having to do a level of troubleshooting and diagnosis that, while easy for others, was hard for me. And so that wasnt a good tradeoff for me. I wanted something stable and easy to tweak and use, even if its at the expense of slightly slower performance, etc. But thats a very personal decision, and everyones results vary depending on their phone, apps, usage, etc.

Did you purchase your LGOG from Sprint? If so, you will probably want to switch over to the Sprint LG Optimus G forum. There are distinct differences between the two versions and you could end up bricking your phone if you flash a ROM for the E970 (AT&T version).
