[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
After doing some tweaking and replacing most of the animations, I'm pretty happy. Deleted A LOT of crap. Samsung should really learn to concentrate on one or two features instead of piling them on, and not putting any effort into actually making any of them work like they should. Can't really understand why they need a new TouchWiz framework to begin with when they could just add TW as a launcher and theme stock android to their liking. Especially considering its horrible performance. They haven't even gotten the animations to be smooth, and there's lag everywhere. Hope they go the HTC way with the S5, as less definitely is more.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jcurran.jc:
I love it.

I haven't had any overheating and find the phone to be super smooth.

Battery is pretty good in comparison to the s3
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Definitely not optimized, but after doing some tweaking(build.prop + init.d + animations) and Trickster Modding my S4 is now buttery smooth even at 1242Mhz. ;) Android is really really smooth with the right tweaks. :good: You really learn a lot from having a Nexus 4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] flo7002:
Got mine the other day. I love the screen and the camera, but as others have mentioned in here, it lags a lot. My nexus 4 runs circles around this thing. I got it rooted so now I guess I gotta find a good rom that runs smooth. Overall I'm slightly disappointed with how it runs out of the box.
[Galaxy S 4 General] blackknightavalon:
My SGS4 rated 25103. :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] BlastTyrantKM:
I've had my S4 since Tuesday... I've not seen a hint of this so called lag people are complaining about. My wife was messing with it for a few minutes and said "this thing is fast". And I'm not getting the purple smearing either. My only real complaint is the seemingly endless list of bloatware. But a flashing a ROM will solve that
[Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
Agreed. I'd add to the list a little, though. I think it's hard for the S4 to have that 'wow' factor both because most see it as just an iteration of the wildly popular S3 and also because the technology is starting to mature.

I'm very happy with my S4 so far, FWIW. Still running stock, un-rooted. No lag, no streaking, great camera, good battery life, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] arlenesboyfriend:
you have to be overclocked for those benchmarks.... I'm totally stock but rooted
[Galaxy S 4 General] szymon247:
Nope. SGS4 - in the "slower" version it has the same chipset as the One, just clocked higher out of the box. The A15 cortex performs even better because of newer and more efficient architecture. No wonder it's just going to score higher.

Anyway, I don't have the S4 nor the One, but I think something should be done with the HTC One crowd. This thread is not related in any way to the HTC One, it's for people who'd like to get information about the S4. I think the Underdog jpg really applies more to HTC now, as their fate depends on the One's sales.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Nope stock telstra rom 25600 ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] arlenesboyfriend:
the last I checked I live in America and we have freedom of speech I can say anything I feel I have to and where I feel the need to say it

thank you
[Galaxy S 4 General] KillaHurtz:
You can say whatever you want and still look like an idiot :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] btemtd:
Ummm I dont think so bro go check the benchmarks page and check.. I reached 12800 I have a screenshot of 12600 on that thread too. Your 12200 aint special pfff

And we dont even have any overclocking yet so go cry in your htc forum
[Galaxy S 4 General] elucid:
I fully expect that my S4 will outperform my current phone in every way. Current phone: Samsung Droid Charge :)

Edit: Pre-ordered with Verizon (come on Verizon, why are you always last!)
[Galaxy S 4 General] KillaHurtz:
The ROM I made for the Note 2 saw over 9000+ on quadrant. I expect to blow the lid of this new exynos as soon as I get my hands dirty :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] krabman:
I afraid you're quite incorrect. This is a private forum with specific rules and you cannot say whatever whenever unless it complies with forum guidelines without placing your ability to post at risk and being an American gives you no special entitlement. You might want to consider reading those guidelines because you seem to possess no clear understanding of fairly common forum etiquette such as remaining on topic, not attempting to hijack threads, etc.

To the thread, my phone has a fair bit of lag in the launcher. I rooted it so I could bring over my ti backup but always run my phone for a couple days to give the stock phone and software a good look. Done with that, going to do some adjusting tomorrow and get rid of some bloat. As it sits now however this phone is actually slower and less impressive than my s3 in use.

Edit... I have reduced bloat considerable and turned off many functions which I don't use such as the eye scrolling. This made the opening and closing of apps mostly happen respectably quick without the odd hesitations here and there. Still had some lag in the launcher though and after completing that I noticed it was most noticeable going to one screen in particular. I began adding and removing items from that screen and when I removed the 4x1 widget for winamp I noticed an immediate stop to the lag in touchwiz not just to that screen but throughout. This has greatly improved the phones perceived experience for me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GIR:
Every release of a phone comes with nonsense stories about how bad it is and the problems it has. Most of them unfounded, spec picking or plain lies, remember the S3 catching fire story when the S3 was released? Unfortunately the people doing the shouting are far few then the satisfied people but these people also have the loudest voices. Sales numbers are the ultimate thruth. The S2 was a success and was an excellent phone, the S3 was a success and evenly so. The S4 will be the same and haters are still going to hate. Just ignore them.
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2727alex2727:
I got my s4 on Thursday, the , I9500 not the 4g variant, and it's amazing. Battery life is great.with 100 - 21% taking 9 hours of heavy usage! And great speed.

Only paid 699$ outright
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
Sorry bro, but your HTC One gets crushed by my Samsung Galaxy S IV.

Re +Samsung Mobile Galaxy S4

I loaded up the latest international firmware, I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXAAMDM_DBT.zip, did a full wipe.

Some of my issues are now solved.

1. Homescreen is back to normal, can re-arrange icons and widgets easily

2. Can replace dock icons

3. Can share images to email

4. Can rotate images

Issues

1. Showing Dropbox images in Gallery freezes Gallery

2. Phone is just slow and heavy - feels nothing special at all

3. The new features are still just a gimmick, slow the phone down and don't really work

I still think I might ELF my 3rd Galaxy S4 today... just really not happy with it at all...
[Galaxy S 4 General] __NBH__:
It's a good phone but it's slower than my old S2 running a 4.2.2 custom rom. It might be better at benchmarks but for general use it stutters much more. The only advantages so far are the bigger screen and bigger battery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] fernando sor:
They are still pretty similar. I hit around 12700 stock on the One in quadrant. 1.9 clock speed will usually nudge out the 1.7.

What I would be concerned about on the s4 is the lag being reported by so many. 4 or 500 higher in quadrant means nothing if your phone is stuttering. And believe me I don't like seeing any Android flag ship have issues. I'm pro android.

And it appears the lag is being reported on the Octa processor also so it seems the software is not optimized or touchwiz is an incredible resource hog. I'm sure they are looking at the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
How about this then :laugh:?

So far i have the highest Quadrant score for both the GT-i9505 and GT-i9500.

This is with the Galaxy S IV (GT-i9505) version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] irzero:
Dude your sig is really fricken annoying.

Remove it or shrink its i dont need half my screen taken up by your crap.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Galactus:
Why has this turned into another S4 vs HTC debate? As for benchmarks, they don't mean much, especially quadrant. Based on all the reviews I've seen though, The HTC ONE is smoother even if it does lose in some benchmark tests. Again, based on reviews, the S4 does lag and stutter in similar places that made the S3 stutter. Samsung need to optimise their software.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
If you look at the post that are 3 post earlier than my last post, then you will see that i'm not alone on having a big signature.

And why is it annoying?

If it could have been that easy to place the text under the picture to the right side of it, then it would be great.
[Galaxy S 4 General] irzero:
Because no one cares about the stuff you got in it.

And no one needs a full size photo of the phone either.

There should be a rule limiting this crap.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
So just because one guy (you) doesn't cares about it, it means the rest of the world doesn't care?

EDIT: I can ofc try to see if i can find another picture of the phone that makes my signature thinner.
[Galaxy S 4 General] irzero:
Trust me you sig is full of useless stuff. Why do you feel the need to spam our screens with it
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
I have been here for 4 years and 2 months now. You are the only one to complain about it in those years.

Oh also, the info about Neowin is not useless information. It needs to get out so others can see the behaviour / attitude some of the forum mods on that webpage have.
[Galaxy S 4 General] irzero:
The neowin stuff isnt the problem.

Its the big ass photo and the other useless information thats spamming everyones screen thats the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
Like i said, i'm trying to find another picture of the phone that makes my signature thinner.
[Galaxy S 4 General] irzero:
The photo is in your avatar.

Just get rid of it and take out the spaces between the lines and your good to go.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tom-Helge:
Nah, the picture of the phone will stay, because that's showing the phone i have and at the same time you can click on the picture to get to the specification of the phone.

But isn't this kinda off topic lol?
[Galaxy S 4 General] fernando sor:
haha how about this? clocked to 1.9 just like yours.

personally though benchmarks mean nothing if your phone lags.
[Galaxy S 4 General] krabman:
Lots of people don't seem to realize that their desire to spam a message has nothing to do with others desire to be spammed with that message. Thankfully this is easily fixed, just turn off signatures in your settings and you're done. The spammers can go on thinking they're getting the word out with a message that does nothing but annoy the few who actually notice it and you don't have to see it if it does annoy you. You both win, the rest of us who mostly don't notice signatures at all unless they've got bare breasts in em don't have to hear any more about it. Everybody wins, a rare and wonderful situation for all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DroidLessons:
Very happy with my Galaxy S4 purchase. Although it was definitely not an easy choice to make between the HTC One and S4. There are pro's and con's to both. It's great to see so much debate about which phone is better. In the end, both devices are going to make Android an even more popular platform. Win win situation. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] kle3nex:
s4 sucks.. it doesnt shoots laser and not powered by nuclear energy. damn this phone
[Galaxy S 4 General] lambstone:
Yeah, ordered a S4 too. HTC One was incredibly tempting but I decided I needed the removable battery.

S2, S3 had an extended battery. I'm expecting S4 to have it soon later.

S3's official extended battery went from 2100mah stock to 3000mah.

S4? 2600mah stock to 4000mah? I certainly hope something like this might be possible.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dikime:
The S4 is great, I have a white international I9505 and it's amazing, even coming from the S3 which was epic (and still is) just by itself.

I know a lot of trolls/haters/disappointed people would hate the phone, but I see it also from supposedly professional tech sites. What the f**k is wrong with everyone to prefer an outdated & sealed & locked device with retarded interface and buttons and a small screen on top of that just because it's (partly) aluminium?

Since when everyone wants a 600$+ device just to show it off in public and not use it? No wonder Apple is still going strong.

Copy&Paste that in the "HTC One vs S4" thread.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RobertR3750:
If it DID shoot lasers and was powered by nuclear energy, Samsung would be inundated by protests from every anti-nuke pacifist in the world.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jj03:
On second cycle of battery..happy with the phone. Some lag here n there but nothing disturbing. Removed all bloat. On mdm firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] exsing:
Loving my S4.

The ability to root and customise the hell out of it is excellent! Sure, it would've been better if some of the stuff that requires root is built into stock, but I understand the legal dilemma (such as changing dock, shutter sounds etc.).

But that is why the Android is so good! Customisation options are endless!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Since the last upgrade for the Verizon GN, I've had issues where the second core will go to sleep, and does not awaken even when the phone is busy. Only a reboot of the phone seems to fix the state. I'm not sure what event is driving it to enter this state (bad charger? low battery condition?).

I'm basing the information on SystemPanel Light. When its in this state, everything is running slow (half the cpu power). I usually notice it after the phone connects to my car, but it could easily be that its just busier with GPS, Audio etc... at that point, and that it has entered the condition from a night of sitting charging.

Anyone else encounter this? I searched, but didn't see any other posts, but it could be my searching skills are lacking.

Thanks for any ideas on how to wake up the second core, or ideas on what could make it to go sleep in the first place.:confused:

Are you on a stock Rom/Kernel? If not which ones are you currently running?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyper91:
Hey guys, I've had my HTC one for a week now and loving it, and decided to install the TrickDroid ROM, which I equally think is amazing (and may even deter me from the need to flash any AOSP based future ROMS), however after flashing the AOSP lockscreen whenever I receive a phone call, I have to unlock first!

Is there anything that can be done about this as it's my only gripe with the ROM.

Cheers!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillingrsx:
Bump.

I also do not like the lockscreen. I tried installing using the HTClockscreen.apk from the ROM but it won't let me do it. I want the stock lock screen back. Yes, I agreed about doing two steps just to answer a phone. Unlock, then press answer. Please help.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

I also try to change the lock in "setting, personalize" and still doesn't change anything. Still have the ring unlock style lock screen.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misc2020:
Same here!!

I'm also having the same issue with Trickdroid v5.5.1. Incoming calls don't display unless you unlock the screen. When additional security is enabled (e.g. PIN unlock), you need to then unlock and enter the PIN before a call can be taken! Love AOSP lockscreen, but this is V.annoying!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laraiza:
You have to re flash the rom and change the setting back to stock via aroma.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillingrsx:
Can you explain where in Aroma do I change this setting? Is it via the tweak flash?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laraiza:
It's one of the first couple options available I believe. It asks if you want the aosp lockscreen or htc lockscreen. Choose htc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PleasantChaos:
Do I have to set up everything again when I re-flash it or does it stay the same? Apps etc.?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yungskeeme:
I just upgraded to the S4 and am selling my note. I know the Note has a larger SIM. If I were to sell it would the person have to get a new SIM card from AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
It's recommended to get the right size sim card. At&t doesn't charge to replace them. There are cutters and inserts available. People even tape them in place but it always leads to problems. You could even botch up the sim port on the phone if not careful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The sim is YOUR account information. It isn't transferred between subscribers.

Chances are the new owner will need to get an LTE sim to use the phone.

[TouchPad General] kruuth:
Hey folks. I accidentally left my touchpad on an airplane. I see it still in my play store. Is there a way to see if it's been used, or if it's in use, and if so, where it is?
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I would call the airline and see if they have it. Unless you have a locator app on it already and its connected to the internet, I dont believe there is a way of finding it that way. If the airline doesnt have it, I'd have to say its gone. :(
[TouchPad General] taylorcoffelt:
There is an app that can be installed remotely from the play store for situations like this:

Plan B

I hope you find it!
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
I copied this from their link in the play store :

NOTE: Plan B only works with 2.0 - 2.3 versions of Android
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
You have to remember that your touchpad has to be connected to the internet too in order to install things remotely. So you need to hope that 1. Your touchpads battery isn't dead. And 2. Someone has it connected to WiFi.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Zed:
Hi, I'm me again.. Ok. Here's the thing. I was just searching out files from roms for alfs, nAa and stock and I found out that ramdisk.tar files is in stock kernel roms and the others not! And also, I got libs for stock kernel. First is first! I wanted to know if I add ramdisk.tar files from stock kernel rom's and paste it in the other kernels rom and flash libs would boot up that? I don't really think so but I'm just asking. Hay.. Easy on me. While other peoples creating threads that doesn't even make sense about soft bricking (They didn't use the search button I hoped (Forever Alone Search Button)) I was asking some quite well questions so easy on me please :) :)

Please :D :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortun:
Why don't just go ahead and try it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
As I remember (I not used stock kernel and roms for this kernel since the first custom kernel out ;)), the separated ramdisk files needed for the recovery. Ramdisk.tar contains the stock ramdisk, cwm.tar contains the clockwormod recovery, another tar file contains the xrecovery. Examine the chargemon file in any stock kernel based rom, you can see how to work... :)

I don't know what is your goal with these tar files and libs. You want to use naa/alfs based roms on stock kernel? If yes, you need to revert lot of things (wifi, egl libs, sensor drivers, etc...)
