[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
The trouble is, you dont know what your missing if you've never had it. People could be blissfully unaware that it going on, if they dont have a point of reference, ie a nexus device, or, for that matter, an apple device. I see it, it happens, its not horrible, nor a deal breaker, but yes, it happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
Finally someone with some logic...

You won't notice the lag unless you compare it to something that doesnt lag. For example super amoled screens (pentile) you don't notice the fishnet/grains on the screen until you compare it to an LCD screen. Then after that it's impossible to ignore...

I'm not trying to bash galaxy S4, but it is far from perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
Task650 AOKP ROM with KToonsez Kernel. Do KToons Recommended kernel settings with that ROM, and try to tell me that your GS4 has any lag at all. Its just as smooth as my friends Nexus 4, but is more responsive when opening and closing apps. You would need to get the ATT version of the ROM though for the latest version. It works perfectly on TMO M919 and Canadian I337M as well. You just need to remove the first few lines of the install script once u download the ROM, so it skips the build prop check, and then all installs fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
Alright awesome, thanks. Will definitely have a try at rhqf combo when I get off work. Much appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
You will be very impressed. Its a great featured ROM, the Dark UI looks AWESOME, and it hasn't dissapointed me. It's impossible for me to switch to anything else, because as soon as i do, i do notice the minor lag that was not there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
I noticed that the thread was closed (aokp) is it not being supported anymore? Also is there any bugs? I've had bad Aokp experiences before so I'm just double checking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
His ROMS are always very stable without bugs. It's quite a good experience and i haven't run into any issues at all on the latest build 7-28.

Its Closed in the TMO thread, it should still be open for AT&T. Get the AT&T ROM, then unzip it, find the install script inside the ROM package, remove the first 2 lines i think. The ones that say getprop. Then after saving and rezipping the files, install and it will work perfectly on your TMO device. Make sure to install the TMO KTSGS4 Kernel tho, and once u get the chance, follow his recommended kernel settings from post 3.

5 inch, 1080p screen. Super Amoled. Try and beat that. You can't. :fingers-crossed:

1.92 ghz Snapdragon processor.

S4 = super phone with features that no other phones can match. The other phones are super phones with a weaker screen, and weaker processor.

S4 >>>> your favorite phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dan37tz:
I agree with Fuego.

People are so in denial or they must come from a 5 year old phone to not notice how utterly laggy this phone is.

Maybe that's why Samsung is dragging their feet on fixing it, releasing a software update that will make it smoother. They got your money, and its obvious the customers are willing to take it up the ass with their half ass software release... They're probably just like 'Oh sh1t.. we can't get TW to be smooth on the S600 chipset. Might as well get the S800 chipset ready and hope for the best!"

Com'on Samsung.. when the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 with inferior hardware is smoother than your latest greatest....you got some splainin' to do..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rasengan82:
Omg I thought the OTA will fix the lag issue? Does the international version with the latest version lag like the T-Mobile version? Waiting for OTA on my wife's S4, hopefully it fixes the lag. I probably notice it a lot more because I am using vanilla android on nexus 4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
My favorite phone is the galaxy s4, its just sad that my nexus 4 with lower specs, out performs it. Also I have all the gimmi..... "Features" turned off and uninstalled. Still runs, "meh"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
Post here or PM me your findings when you get a chance to try out that ROM/Kernel combo I told ya.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Window animations turned off, phone is smooth ad butter. Eh.....sucks for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyjr2:
I don't understand the motive for this thread. I run Wicked Rom and I am positive the lag isn't there as I saw in stock and aosp roms I ran. This guy say he love the S4, but he is going on and on. The Nexus 4 is good for the money, but it is no high end phone on no day. It's time we close this thread because this dude obviously has an agenda here.

He wants me to believe because him and his brother has S4s mine runs like theirs. No sir! It's smooth with transitions on full time with my SwiftKey keyboard. Just like u told the other guy I can post a video to show u my phone don't lag like yours does. I've have 5 windows phones and one iPhone, so I know smooth firsthand. The s4 is not to far off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
I'm not so advanced to do all that unzipping stuff :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cantenna:
Im liking my galaxy s4 more than my ipad 3 at the moment. Im currently without a jailbreak so its an even easier victory for my galaxy s4. Its such a nice phone, so lightning fast! :D so much customization and themes, so much POWER in the palm of my hand, literally im using an Anker 5200 battery:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyjr2:
If you type in Nexus4 lag in youtube your whole argument over the past week is invalid. LOL. You will find one clip where the widget drawer lags over and over and over. Not only is it confirmed in the video, but the people who left comments all complained of it. Stop trolling bro. I love my S4 and you can't change that. BTW, it has never performed the way that Nexus does in that video.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
I'll pm u the exact instructions. Its pretty simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Lmao. Fuego gets owned by 4 different posters. Take a nap fuego. We know what you're up to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
Thanks bro, and to everyone else. Video will be up soon. I really wanna see the excuse is after I show you. :D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyjr2:
After you show us your set up, not ours. Give it a rest homie!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
That's a pretty poor excuse blaming it on "setups" the average consumer doesn't root, they shouldn't be stuck with a laggy phone after paying $600+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] silent_bob52637:
why does every device forum have lag threads im still running my s1 and im getting the same 1 or 2 seconds of lag even on 4.3

if the software is that bad for you just pick your hardware and then spend 6 years and billions of dollars developing your own os

with this many features and diversity and getting oems and third party software developers behind you

Then you can stand up in front of all the xda users

and say "hey everyone heres the perfect os"

and everyone on here will pick it apart and "mod" the crap out of it

just to make it perfect for themselves
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gamepr:
AMEN!

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Dude, if you can't notice the lag then you shouldn't even be participating in this thread. You probably are one of the mass consumers that have no business being in forums like xda.

You probably should've NOT rooted your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gamepr:
My n4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
Somebody with brains, thank you for having common sense. It doesn't Take a genius to notice the lag on the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_r0dd:
I have no reason to lie. Why should I have to turn off my animations? Never had to with any of my other androids. Most people's computers don't have as good of specs as this device. Their are graphical issues with the s4 period. Artifacts when opening apps frequently. I love my S4 but I am not oblivious to it's flaws either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
I'll just leave my video here. Custom ROM, running wicked, tested with and without animations. My brothers does the same thing. And before anyone blames my "set up" or have any other poor excuses, my nexus 4 has way more apps installed, way more widgets on the home screens, about 3 times the text messages. Completely stock, so go head and give my video a dislike while you're at it :)

Who the hell u talking to? I ain't in of your hoes. I been on xda since my t-mobile wing and have had a smartphone since 2003. Do I develop? No. Am I an advanced smartphone user? Absolutely. What I said is no android has zero lag. Not a nexus, a galaxy, a one etc. Android lags. All devices lag. Windows phone and Apple lag less than others and is much smoother, but even those don't come without lag.

You don't know me, so u might want to chill. I maybe a geek, but I am from the streets. We can take it there if u want. U don't run xda
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gingson:
Fuego has consistently pointed out that his beloved Nexus has no lag at all. As I have stated before, the Nexus is a stripped down Google Phone and the SGS4 is full-featured phone with TW. I really think that it is not fair to compare these two. Is there lag, yes I noticed it on the first day of use. Did I return it? No I kept it. I had thirty days to make up my mind and I kept it. Was lag a deal breaker? No I liked the other features? I am sure that Fuego has thirty days to make up his mind whether to return it or not. If I were Fuego, I'd keep the Nexus 4 because Samsung knew about this and they knew people would buy them. "Perfection" is up to the "Eye of the Beholder". Imperfections depends on how people perceive these things.

Lag is part of our daily lives, some people has lag with their heartbeats:), my car has lag:) when I step on the gas, my boss has terrible lag when it comes to giving out raises;), I lag when I get up in the morning, people lag when they make decisions. IMHO, this thread has become a pointless squabble. So Fuego, Peace:cool: May You Lag With Your Decision Whether to Keep Your SGS4 or not.;):cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
T-Mobile has lag in getting us the update that takes away the S4's lag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
I've already given everybody the ROM/Kernel Combination that eliminates all the S4 lag. It's up to people to choose whether they want the TW features over a lag free Device. Otherwise, the ROM has a great array of built in customization and features and is just as lag free if not more than the nexus 4 because it is quicker at loading and closing apps because of the stronger hardware. Fuego has been PM'd the instructions to get it set up and i'm sure once he gives it a shot he will respond on a positive note on this thread :). I'm super happy with the device, and nobody i've shown my S4 to has ever seen such smoothness on a mobile phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gingson:
To Monkz.....I don't think Fuego will change his mind about S4 lag whether its a stock rom or custom rom. My only point here is that he is comparing two different phones. One is loaded the other one is strip model, no TW, no nonsense phone. It's not apples to apples. He knows what he wants and he knows what to do. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
All he has been saying is that he hasn't found a GS4 setup that can run as smoothly as his Nexus, so i gave him the option. At the end of the day your right it's his decision, but i'm pretty confident based on how impressive my device is performing that he should get the same results, and atleast have one setup that if he chooses to give up on Touchwiz to escape the bits of lag that he is noticing. I'm just offering him the solution to get his GS4 to perform on par if not smoother and faster than his Nexus 4, while getting to enjoy the display and powerful hardware of this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omf05:
Regardless of what you say a 600+ dollar phone should not lag out the box.

I love my GS4 but thats the only phone I have bought that lags... Nexus 4/ Htc One/ iPhone 5 lag free!

The fact they knew about it is what gets to me. If i'm selling a phone I'm doing my best to try to keep my company top Product LAG FREE out the box.

But its no big deal I always get the new best thing when they come out , so I'm sure the New Nexus will be in my hands soon.

Please send me your setup. I would like to test it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gingson:
Just wondering if you guys ever tried the other stock "Easy Launcher". Those of you who are still using unrooted rom. Give it a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
I just tried Easy Mode on my phone for the first time.

It looks like something a grandmother would use on her Jitterbug phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gingson:
You crack me up.:) It is fast though. That's what a strip phone does. It is almost lag free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gamepr:
Your reply to my post is the secondary reason why you definitely shouldn't be participating in this thread. I don't think you belong here dude.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalUnderground:
This thread is pointless but fwiw, I'm on a 4.3 GE ROM and it has absolutely ZERO lag when I do anything. I mean ZERO... NONE. WAAAAAAAY smoother than the n4. If u don't want lag, and have an s4, run 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] monkeypaws:
But then people complain that they miss out on the features of the s4. Nobody wins here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
It's not really that much your missing out on. Most of the features are gimmicks to show off, rather than being useful. Like idk, but smart scroll is kind of useless. Takes much less effort just to swipe your finger to scroll, and smart pause glitches up every once in awhile. Sure you lose a few apps too, but i personally atleast don't find them to be that important. The only real thing i miss from TW is the Camera, but i can tolerate the 4.3 Photosphere camera on a daily basis, but when i am going somewhere i plan to take a lot of photos, i normally just nandroid back to Touchwiz for the occasion, make use of the TW Camera, then nandroid back afterwards. You get the best of both worlds, and i consider myself to be a winner, because i have a lag free device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalUnderground:
Yeah the gimmicks of smart scroll, smart view, air gestures, etc I never use them. I used to use palm swipe screen shot and slide to call/text but that was it... And palm swipe is way less sensitive on s4 than s3. I actually really like 4.3 GE. I probably won't go back to tw.

That question has been asked so many times in that thread that I believe Josh actually answers it in the op.

Edit: I actually didn't see it in the op. You need to go into jellybomb rom manager then kernel tweaker than audio. From there slide the left and right channel all the way up. This will fix your problem.

Hi there...

As u know we can install apps from play store via PC too...by just clicking install on the apps we wish to install and they get downloaded automatically the next time we turn on wifi or mobile data from the phone...but when I try to do this,play store gives a message saying "you haven't accessed play store from your device with this id"...

So m unable to install any apps via PC though everything works fine when use play store from the phone...

Can someone please temme why the play store is not recognizing my device...?

I'm running miui gb rom which I flashed a long time ago...I hadn't installed any apps via PC ever since until now...so this problem came to my notice recently...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omega_warrior:
Relax boss, nothing to worry. The Play Store installed on your phone needs to get itself updated. Once it is updated you wont face this problem.

So just open Play Store on your device and give it some time to update itself.

Had faced the same problem few days back. Relax. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:
My play store was the first to update among all the people around me...I got the update a week ago...

And I've been having this problem before the update and also after it...:(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omega_warrior:
Actually if you must have noticed that there is another app called GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE or similar name.

when u open play store that PLAY SERVICE app also updates itself.

So just try explorin the PLAY STORE on your phone. Give it a few secs. It'll be ready.

Spend some time surfin on the Play Store so that it gets time to update itself.

It has worked for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:

Dont use two different Gmail IDs. Check if you have Google Play Services (or something like that). Make sure your device is synced with your gmail ID.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:
Even I thought of the same...but I have only one gmail account...so there's no chance of a mixup...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
Login with your id, sync your device with it, check under Gmail settings, install google play services app. If the problem persists, contact google via email. May be it is mistaken that your account has been accessed from a device that isn't listed in your previous access details. Are you sure that you first used this account on phone and then tried it on PC ? May be they're treating your phone as an untrusted source of access.

If you don't wanna bang your head over all this, just create a new Gmail account and access it via your phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:
I double checked all the things u asked me to...problem still persists...:(

I was suspecting a change in the android user id or something like that...it usually comes up after flashing a new rom...titanium asks me if I want to restore the previous user id so that my device is still recognized as the same one that it was before flashing...but I don't know more technical details on this matter...

So since ur a developer,I guess u know the technicality of this matter...I just feel the reasoning for the problem must be in that direction of thought...please help me if u can think of something that could have gone wrong...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:

First... I ain't a developer :p You can call me experienced. But no one knows everything. You can say we know enough, but not everything. When unusual problems like this arise, everyone find themselves in a dilemma. Then someone somehow finds a way to nail it or someone works out wonders. Until somehow the problem is solved, learning never stops in xda ! Our Ace forum is so tremendous that we find so much of varied and relevant cases here that can't be found anywhere else on xda and that makes this forum a stand out and hell awesome !

Talking about your problem, did you try the titanium backup trick ? Sometimes it is just a sequence of steps to solve it. You can just follow it. Like, titanium backup fixes the bad integration of superuser for example. As far as my conscious goes, a new Gmail id should definitely solve it. But if you're concerned about sync and purchases, I'd recommend you to contact google via email or the titanium backup Dev as he might know how to nail this since he's provided a possible solution to the prevailing problem. Last resort, wait for someone more learned to respond or go try to nail it yourself, can't help :D It's happened to me before :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punitthereddevil:
K...I'm not even related to the software field...I'm in the medical profession...so solving the problem myself is out of question for sure...:p

But Ill try contacting titanium dev...hope he has a solution...coz even a new id dint fix the problem...

Anyways thanks a lot for everything...really appreciate it...:)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suzie:
Hi, my phone has been working great ever since I got it in September...

Then today something terrible happened, I was taking a photo and suddenly a weird black bar appeared in the middle of the screen, and everything was frozen... and then after 10 seconds the screen went totally black, except for a few glowing pixels.

So now hours later the screen has still refused to come back on, of course I've removed the battery etc. and the phone is still working fine, I can call it, I hear when I receive messages, it's just the screen stays black permanently, actually if I leave the screen on for a while then the whole thing glows in a crazy way. So I guess I'm going to have to send it in for a warranty repair.

And so I'm trying to get all my files off the device before I send it in, in case it comes back erased.

I've connected by USB and I've got almost all my files, the only thing left is the screen grabs that I took using the stylus, the ones that it takes when you hold down the stylus button then draw the 'lasso' around something.

I can't figure out where those screen grabs are located! I tried searching the device for all .jpg files but they're not there, it must be another extension - I've also searched for .png and .bmp without any luck. I know the screen grabs must be a regular image format, not a custom format like the S Note files, because the screen grabs appear in QuickPic.

Can somebody please check and tell me the exact location where the screen grabs are stored? Thanks!
