I'm coming from an S3..with a fantastic rom called mrom which is a 4.2.2 rom..now the s4, I do like the screen better...that alone is worth the upgrade... But I absolutely HATE touchwiz.. Using Nova Launcher it's ok
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
Must be a common thing with the back cover. Mine didn't put the cover on properly either so it felt crappy until I snapped it in properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam2c:
ok, it seems to be a software problem, which is a bit of a relief. If you turn off and turn on the phone, the screen that show the "Samsung Galaxy SIV" insignia is as BLACK as black can be, even in a totally dark room. As soon as the OS starts to load (the Samsung animation), the beautiful black turns red/brown, and its like that from then on. Samsung needs to fix this, and QUICK!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Metusion:
My initial impression is that the phone looks nice, feels good in the hand, but the dang lag is super distracting. And the phone I was using didn't even have all the AT&T bloatware installed, just stock samsung. dissapointing to say the least, when the One feels so smooth. I really want the S4 though, the One looks weird to me. The screen is dwarfed by the speakers and borders.. With the S4 I feel I got a big screen and is easier to use with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] valleng:
I am not seeing any of this lag being reported at all. Maybe a minimal studder but nothing where I get annoyed by if

Its the best Mobile ever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
On first boot coming from an iPhone 4 ..

- Wow this thing takes forever to boot up (I thought it was stuck at the AT&T logo)

- No I don't want AT&T pay service 1. Skip.

- No I don't want AT&T pay service 2. Skip.

- No I don't want AT&T pay service 3. Skip.

- No I don't want AT&T pay service 4 (you get the idea...)

+ Wow. Beautiful screen. Can't wait to watch some 1080p content on this.

+ The plastic really doesn't feel so bad. It still feels well "put-together". I'll probably get a paper thin case in the near future.

+ My FIRST EVER LTE phone! 21 megs down, 21 megs up! Holy lord!

- Let's play around with the new software..

- Multi Window works I suppose... it's just weird and feels hacky. Maybe if Google builds it in to KLP, it will be a bit more intuitive.

- Can't try NFC because no Google Wallet. #ThanksAT&T

- Air View. I haven't been able to get the hang of this yet... I can get it to work on stuff like Gallery and Flipboard, but I don't see me using it very often, if at all.

+ Air gesture. I can get it to work with the pictures, but it's still kinda "meh". Don't really see the point. HOWEVER! I do like the lock screen gesture where it brings up the time, date, battery, etc. I used it several times while the phone was beside my bed in the middle of the night. I also like the gesture to answer a phone call and go straight to speaker phone. Very neat.

- Smart Stay. Can't get it to work. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, or maybe I'm using the wrong app.

- Smart Scroll. It worked one time out of 10. Even then, it's "meh".

- Bloat. This looks like a HP computer from the year 2003. I mean hell, it's got a "HP Print" app. All its missing is Norton. *shutter*

- Samsung Apps. The only one I've found useful is the S Health trackers (calories, exercise, steps, etc). I've been using the step tracker all day so far and I found it to be pretty spot on. Everything else is bloat to me. Why is there a "Samsung App Store"?? "Samsung Hub"? Why?? It's literally duplicating Google services and doing a crappy job of it. This is exactly what Apple was trying to avoid by controlling every bit of its device. The worst offender is S Voice. S Voice is a joke. Is this thing actually trying to compete with Google Now?? It can't because it sucks. Even the Samsung text-to-voice engine sounds like an early TomTom. What a shame.

TL;DR: Hardware is awesome. Software is not. Thank goodness for XDA and the FUTURE potential of unlocking bootloaders and rooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flucks:
It's the same exact form factor. I put my S3 up to the S4 and they were the exact same size. Makes me happy since I was scared of an even bigger phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] suadion:
I also suffer from this issue, seems to be only certain handsets, not everybody?

XXUAMDF:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] valleng:
Ya its the same size but it's more squared. Regardless feels a lot more natural in the hand then the one imo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iceman4357:
First impression is great for me. I disabled A LOT of the bloat like a lot of people, and also turned off a lot of the Samsung software junk that I will never use. The phone is fast for me, I have yet to experience any lag. I came from a GS3 in an LTE area, but this GS4 seems WAY faster on the internet than my GS3. Maybe due to the upgraded HSPA+. Battery life, after all the junk is disabled, has been amazing for me. With light use(1.5 hr screen time, some wifi some LTE, internet surfing, basic tasks) I was over 15hrs and 70% remaining battery life.

For me a locked bootloader is ok. I used to flash ROMs all the time with the Skyrocket, but I got used to the UI on the GS3 and never flashed. For me once the junk is disabled the UI is acceptable; not as nice as ASOP or a custom ROM, but it functions fine. Glad I switched from the GS3 to GS4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cdd543:
I picked one up yesterday and my first impressions aren't great. I liked the SGS3 and note 2, though the note 2 was too large for my taste day to day. The SGS2 was another favorite of mine back in the day. The point is that I've been a big fan of the recent samung devices. I also own an ip5 and HTC one currently. My observations:

Hardware: Phone feels great in the hand and very balanced--screen is great. Too early to tell about the battery...

Software: This is where I'm not loving it--my phone is so laggy that it feels like I've gone back in time to pre ICS days. It has random hiccups and is really just disappointing. I've disabled all the ATT bloat and turned off all the other samsung extras along with editing the windows and animation transitions in the dev menu, but it's still about the same. -ugh-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maverick96:
Agree with this. It's like a step backward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iceman4357:
Has anyone tried a hard reset? I know that fixed a lot of issues when flashing ROMs, maybe it will do the same on the stock software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cdd543:
I haven't, but will just to see if there are any improvements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SteveISU:
I had the One since the 18th, liked most everything about it. It was smooth, no stutter or lag, gorgeous phone and awesome screen. I've always been a fan of Samsung (S2, Skyrocket, S3, Note 2). So I've been fighting a little devil in my head to try the S4, devil won and I exchanged the One for the S4 on Saturday. BIG MISTAKE! The S4 is laggy, Wifi signal repeatedly drops, TouchWiz use to be tolerable but now it's just a bloated septic tank of a OS. You could strip the 5% of whats left of Android on the phone and it would stand on it's own. You expect to see android somewhere and but it's buried. I read another describe it as a 2003 HP computer with all the crap on here, that's pretty accurate. The S4 screen is gorgeous and the camera software is awesome, but the rest of the OS just wreaks. On paper it looks like a phenomenal device, in practice it's anything but. No premium device should lag this bad. I would equate the S4 to having a really hot chick sitting on your face and then ripping ass, totally kills the experience. I've loved their devices in the past and I thought I owed it to myself to try it, but now I'm stuck graveling back to the ATT store manager hoping he lets me do another exchange.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iceman4357:
Please report back and let everyone know. Its crazy to me how scattered everyone's experience is with this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cdd543:
I have noticed some improvement in the launcher scrolling after the hard reset, but am still seeing slow odd looking things in the message app and when opening and closing apps. I'll pay attention after each app that I add back into the mix. This is with all the samsung related s-gizmos disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iceman4357:
Good to know. I know on the GS3 the water drop lock screen caused some major issues. I disabled any lock screen animations right out of the box. Is yours disabled, or do you have the little glowing BS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Hahah. I got a chuckle out of "little glowing BS". I turned it off as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iceman4357:
:) yea, I saw Samsungs "making of GSIV" video and the creators were talking about "taking inspiration from the night sky"... Blah blah....I want a phone thats faster, not one that glitters when I touch it. I wouldnt be surprised if the GSV has a rainbow tracer when you swipe your finger on the next lock screen. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cdd543:
No, but I will. Let me look for toggle 4,735.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SteveISU:
If I didn't know any better I would have thought they took inspiration from the movie" The Great Outdoors". This thing is almost as bloated as Chet after downing the ole 96er.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mino0703:
I'm coming from an i9100 the international version of the galaxy s2 I love this phone and still like it over the s4, but of course the s4 is still new and there are no custom roms for it yet. One thing I've noticed with the s4 that I find very annoying is that its too easy to hit the back button unintentionally with my palm when trying to use the phone with one hand and reaching for the top/upper portion of the screen or when trying to pinch to zoom with one hand. I wish the touch capacitive buttons weren't placed so close to the edge at the bottom. The placement of the volume rocker is positioned higher in relation to the center of the phone compared to the s2 which is a little annoying when trying to change the volume with one hand. Other than these minor things the physical characteristics of the phone are great especially the screen, I'm also pleased that there is a physical home button.

Performance in terms of LTE and cpu graphics are phenomenal. I never thought I would get 50mbps download on a mobile phone. I'm a Gran Turismo 5 addict and I just started playing Real Racing 3 on the s4 and I have to admit the graphics are staggering for a mobile phone.

Ok so I am installing this custom rom HASA v4, and when I try to open an app in the Google Play market everytime it gives this error and force closes, even though the market opens, you can browse categories, but as soon as I select an app, it force closes.

- Tried installing different versions of market

- Tried copying the market app in system/app and changing the appropriate permissions

- Tried clearing cache and data for the market

- The system cache is fine, about 100mb and 95mb free

- Tried flashing gapps

So help me please!!!! Could this be rom related?

Try installing proper version from

Nope, still the same thing, nothing changes with any gapps...

Btw, the rom by default doesn't have Vending.apk in system/app, even though there is the Google Play icon, you can click on it, but not on an app...
[General Topics] ryanshew:
It will be called phonesky.apk...try renaming it to vending.apk, set permissions and reboot.

nothing again ;( the same error, even tried with another version of market, and placed it too in the system/app by the name of Vending.apk, with fixed permissions, restared, and nothing :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bestplayer55:
Hey guys. Im just wan to know how much battery use other phones with screen on and using 4g data conection (no wifi). Mines use 1% per 3 minutes of constantly use. A remember b4 it used 1% per 5-6 minutes. Can someone help me knowing others results ro compare?

Is thath consiume of battery is normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bestplayer55:
Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bestplayer55:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.

Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.

For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
MobileTechReview does a review of the Zero Lemon. The back case is the only thing that keeps me from getting it. Not that it sticks out, but that it's like a soft rubber. The whole back. The video shows it better than I can explain it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.

Unlock Your Bootloader - Desire C {GUIDE}​

DISCLAIMER

# I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone.
# I have tested this method and it works like a charm.
# Unlocking bootloader on HTC devices is not a big thing but yes it will void your warranty and if you mess up with your phone beyond its extent, then you will have to pay extra charges for that.

# First of all register yourself on the HTC Registration Website.

# Then go to the HTC – Unlock Bootloader and select “All Other Supported Models” at the end of the list in “Select Your Device” and the click “Begin Unlock Bootloader“.

# After this you will have to accept the terms and agreement of HTC that it is not responsible if anything happens to your phone.

Now you will get the steps of Unlocking the Bootloader or perform these in the same way :-

AND THEN CLICK PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP.

# Download the unlock_tools.zip file from here and extract it to a new folder in C:/Android/ (or select any short place like Desktop.)

# Now open the folder where you have extracted the contents of unlock_tools.zip (in this case C:/Android/) and press and hold SHIFT on your keyboard and then RIGHT-CLICK on mouse and then select “Open Command Window Here“.

In the command window type the following code:-

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

You will get a long message in which there will be some lines like this:-

<<<< IDENTIFIER TOKEN START >>>>
....................
....................
....................
....................
....................
<<<< IDENTIFIER TOKEN END >>>>

Their would be some combination of numbers and alphabets instead of the dots so just copy this code.

When copying the token, start with this line:

<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

And end with this line:

<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>

Now paste the copied code in the Device Token Code as in the picture below:-

You will receive an email (the one with which you registered on HTC Website) in which there will be an attachment

Unlock_code.bin

. Save this file in the same folder in which there is adb,fastboot etc. (in this case C:/Android/ THE ONE THAT YOU EXTRACTED) and then type the following code in the command window:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

After a while your phone will reboot saying your bootloader is Unlocked......

I have bought the asus Fonepad which so far is a great device.

Could you use a general root for the padfone or do i have to wait for

a special root.

Thank you

The telephony features is unique for this kind of device and the best part is it's running on Intel, I know developers can do wonders on this device and not to forget the price is very affordable.
