LV still only has WiMax. No LTE there yet at least not officially, there may be a few spots active. Use the sensorly app from play store to see if theres any Sprint LTE in the area.

You overreacted as your phone wasn't bricked just that you have failed to unlocked your bootloader. Plus all you had to is flashed a stock firmware and follow a more recent guide to rooting your phone. You just might have f**ked up your phone further by using that guide as it was done before jelly bean was officially released. Here is the most recent guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439

It's a huge BS blame game. AT&T's people claim that Samsung isn't providing the 32GB yet and Samsung claims AT&T hasn't asked for it yet. Of course, there are no "official" releases from either yet, just Twitter, Facebook, and forum replies from people that claim to know. It seams as though AT&T is the only US carrier that said they would carry the 32GB but only "soon" has been hinted as to when. And no one (AND I MEAN NO ONE) at AT&T is willing to talk about it. I'm sure it's like all of the rest of AT&T's screw-ups, they hope it will go away if enough time goes by and people will forget about it.

WHY must you ALL need more than 16GB of storage..... Samsung devices have freaking SD Card slots, and in which you can stick a 64GB card in or even a 128GB if you can afford it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Because apps cant install to SD card simple as that. This is a bs Google move so what good does an sd card give me if my apps can't use it and with games being 2gb in size now it goes away quick. I have a 64gb card and only few apps installed and I am down to 6gb free space and my SD card hasn't been touched. Piss poor programming by Google by doing this with the OS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lordpelvis:
I agree. Even though I went ahead and got a 16 gb, I think its BS that google changed that. Does anyone know why exactly?

I really wish these carriers would pull their heads out of their a** and start being able to offer multiple storage sizes. Even with an SD slot, they can release the fruit phone with multiple choices, why can't we have that same luxury with samsung?

Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
This is why these android manufacturers can't compete with iPhone. The reason Google did this is for greed. They want you to store all your stuff on their servers so they can mine it for data and deliver you targeted ads. This is their sole business and money maker. Why do you think they made android free in first place.

My dad was sad when I chose the Navy over the Air Force. He's retired AF.

As an indirect we have almost the same phones as AT&T, we use the same system they use. Just we charge less for the phone. We have the S4 for 149.99. The htc one for 149.99 and the 32gb one for 189.99. The s4 32gb is 189.99 as well when we start to sell it.

The indirect I work for, we don't pad or hop the accounts were not paid on the phone or activation the same way as most third parties . I also used to work for AT&T.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
i see all sorts of tectiles on amazon and i want to get some...

my only real question is, how many bytes do you need? i was going to buy some 144 byte ones but there are one with 1024 bytes and im not sure if those are better or if it will make a difference.

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Robogar:
In my opinion, for everyday use 144 bytes (NTAG203, type 2 tag) is more than enough. I've attached a screenshot where I launced a URL, toggled WiFi, adjusted the brightness and set an alarm, it used up 111 bytes on the NFC Tag.

Also keep in mind that the MIFARE Classic 1k (1024bytes) which is very common are not compatible with the GS4.

Finally there are the new Tectile 2s coming out which are going to be type 4 tags. These are going to have at least 4kb minimum, but I think they're going to be reasonably more expensive than the NTAG203 which are out right now.

The big question is are you going to be storing any extra long URLs, or large amounts of text/data (i.e. a long e-mail/text) on the tag?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
this is what im wondering too, ive never used them before so im probably going to spring for the newer better ones instead ...

i mean 144 bytes may be enough, but why buy the small ones if i want even 2 or 3 of the larger ones ? they'll be like 30 times the storage lol

we'll see im gonna hold off for now though
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] snakecharmer23:
I'm using the hobbyist starter kit from tagstand with my S4 and they work very well with the app NFC Task Launcher. Once in a while I have to tap the tag 2 or 3 times but once I get a better sense of where exactly on the phone the NFC antenna is, that won't be an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] edmchoi:
I know this thread exists in pretty much every other Samsung built phone forum, and I know that this is by no means going to be conclusive, but just curious. See poll.

If you have issues beyond general lag, feel free to post in replies.

Made in Korea, notice a little lag (definitely not as sharp as my GNex, but to be expected), biggest lag comes from accessing pics from external sd (even with sandisk 64gb class 10 xc1 card).

(Mods if this is wrong section or redundant, feel free to delete, and my apologies in advance.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] burningembers:
When you say you have the biggest lag accessing external sd card pictures, how much lag and at what point are you talking about?

Just trying to make sure I'm on the same lag page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
This and also. People have different views on what "big lag" is. We need to have some kind of testing method or video of the phone lagging.

My phone is Korean, and it lags a bit sometimes. Like sometime when I go to home screen the weather widget refreshes, and sometimes the keyboard lags when typing but not swiping.

I've just gotten used to crappy bloated TouchWiz.

To me its absolutely normal lag, but to someone else it could be unacceptable and they might try to get their units replaced.

S3 was same story, but after custom ROMS it was totally fine that's why I'm not even worrying about this.

Besides I assume there will also be a needed firmware update soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] edmchoi:
For me, when I said biggest, I meant biggest relative to all the other actions when using the phone. It takes a clear "0..1..2..3..4" seconds for me to open the gallery portion of pictures stored on my sd card, never had that issue with my old note 2. It also takes a clea "0..1..2..3" seconds for me to open a picture I just took.

I'm getting my replacement unit Tuesday, just hoping it was something with my initial device.

In terms of the lag on the phone, things tend to hang for a couple of seconds when pressed. The worst offender (which I've since removed) is sliding to any screen with the weather widget, it take a good 3 seconds. But the worst part is it bogs down the phone where everything takes time to open. Agreed, a cleaner TW ROM will clear up the issues, was throwing this out there moreso on whether there were any hardware issues. Seems no one has received a made in China s4 yet, so there goes my theory. LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
For me, I have 3 S 4 phones and all are made in Korea and I have 0 lag. Only on one of them did I turn off all the animation stuff but there is no noticeable difference between that one and the other two. I have to tell you though, lag, unless very blatant, is relative to what you were using before the S 4. Those who were running custom ROM's might find the difference but me, coming from a rooted S3, no custom anything, find the S 4 to be much faster. I gave it to two Nexus 4 stock users and they too found it incredibly smooth and fast. All I have done is disable the bloat. I'm happy. All this lag talk had me very nervous before my phones actually arrived. Someone mentioned slowness is switching between the dialer and contacts and I have not experienced that at all, even with 150 contacts. Hope it stays that way.

I had the same exact problem as you. Tons of lag, especially when accessing the memory card after taking a picture.

The first thing to do is reformat your SDcard. Next step would be to swap the phone out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lost2030:
I got the S4 last night. First thing I did was disable all the bloat apps. Been using it and it is smooth. I have over 1000 pics on my 32GB samsung micro sd and the Gallery is smooth. It took about a second to open, but all the folders in it load up quickly. Clicked on pics and they open right away. I have no lag switching between home screens either, but I don't have a live wallpaper on.

I had an S3 before this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xxjrsmith3xx:
I wish I got your model ... I think it's the Chinese one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gauthig:
I fully agree on "LAG" being a user perception, but if you go into developer options and turn of the animations, it is very quick and snappy using stock, root or not. Yes the flash card will be a bit slower and take 2-3 seconds to pull up a large library. Most of the lag comments are around items on the external sdcard. There are other around the animation. One thing to note on all the testing I have seen for the different sdcards, almost all cell phones max out at class 6 so there may be no difference going to a class 10. Also To date, no cell phone has class 10 UHS. The UHS standard uses additional contacts which are not in the cell phone slots. It is in some computers, readers and many cameras.

On the S3, some of the roms had tweaks that made almost everything lightning fast, except for reading form the sdcard. But, those roms also had many comments on battery life.

So you need some kind of balance, battery and speed.

Tips for speed:

1. Turn of animations or speed them up (0.5x is good is speed and you can see it) as the default does allow a nice slow screen drawn.

2. Ensure you do not have 3rd part apps that run and log information. Many utilities have a stats or recorder function to see what is going on, that slows the system down.

3. Do not use any app the clears unused memory. That was needed in ICS, not JB. There is no improvement if you have 60% of your memory free, that actually slows things down. For a test, open up the mail app after you manually clear memory. Then go to the home screen and wait 20 seconds, then open it again. Notice how quicker it loaded. That is cause some of the app libraries was still in memory (cached), so it did not have to load all the required files. Android JB does a good job of clearing memory when it needs memory and leaving most frequently used apps cached. The same concept with Windows, Linux, OSX and all server OS's.

4. FREEZE CARRIER BLOATWARE. We all know this, they run poorly at best.

5. Do manual syncs. Dropbox is great, but it will take up CPU and battery when running in the background synchronizing with the files you keep changing on your PC.

6. Turn off S Voice and use Google Now. S voice take a little more CPU when running in the background than Google Now. Turn them both off it you want to, but I personally like Google Now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zacisblack:
1) I don't think people know what lag in this context is apparently. Any kind of stuttery animations or inconsistencies I consider lag. ALL Android devices have it regardless of if you think so or not. It's just part of Android. Some devices are better than other. The Nexus 4 and HTC One have very little to no lag but it is there.

2) I've played with 6 different Galaxy S4s on different carriers and every single one of them had stutter at some point. Those of you who say otherwise I understand that you're trying to defend your investment but if you stop being defensive and realize that this is a real problem I'm sure Samsung will do something to correct it.

3) If you take an iPhone 5 and put it next it ANY Android device the iPhone will always be smoother and more consistent. It will probably always be this way and we just need to accept it.
