[Galaxy S 4 General] yusmiza:
Mine bought from singapore last month..16gb.i think malaysia still using same product but 3

2 variant 16gb and 32gb memory.no 64gb for now

Price for 32gb is RM2499 sme(Senheng outlet) .Maybe you can more cheaper from local small shop.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yusmiza:
both have same spec just differ memory.As i know...rom is same but pit file is diferrent.16 gb pit and 32gb pit file.Partition and memory size is depending from pit file.I I never try flashing 16gb rom to 32gb rom..but if u just flashing firmware without pit file.i think its should be ok

Does anyone know where can i custom or pre-order an LTE version of the S4? I would like to buy a SIM-unlocked version

I just came back to Malaysia from overseas during my summer holidays. The country in which i am studying already has LTE. I thought of buying one so that i can use LTE when i return overseas.

I think you should send ur phone to samsung service centre. Ask them to find out whats the problem. Convince them that you didnt do anything to your phone. Otherwise warranty voided

Did u buy from local small shop?if yes maybe they already using your hp for their purpose.trying new hp n rooting maybe...after using few days..cleanup and sold as new set.my fren also having same experience ....always hang..sent to samsung and they told warranty already void because flashing..and then she going to the shop,they dont want to take any responsibility...and simple asking my fren..WHY DONT YOU CHECK BEFORE BUYING?If hl already out from their shop warranty is done by samsung...not their responsibility anymore...lastly my fren ask me to help..i just flash stock rom and ok...but no more warranty from samsung..

[Galaxy S 4 General] saffri:
Hi all, i'm a noob so forgive me if it is a silly question.

I've bought S4 for me and my wife, yet both our phone do not have the LTE option available in "Network Mode" selection. I've went to Celcom carrier and change my SIM to 4G LTE SIMcard. Still, the LTE option is not available as well. Then i came across this thread and was wondering, do i need to do the SIM unlock to have that option available in "Network Mode". i've install the SIMcard apps and it show "SIM state: Network Locked". Does this means my SIM are locked? Although i can still make and receive call, does that consider as SIM lock? Please help. hoping to be able to enjoy the 4G service :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] override182:
Only GT-i9505 supports LTE, the exynos octacore GT-i9500 does not support LTE. On 9505, the LTE option should be available in the network mode. Are you sure that you own 9505 and not the 9500?

Try set to GSM auto (PRL) instead of WCDMA Preferred. That should be able to minimize the network hiccups depending on some situation.

Im not sure why im facing this delay. Might Maxis but changing to non LTE network option just like any other non LTE devices dosent seem to fix. I can bear with this, for now :P

[Galaxy S 4 General] saffri:
yeap...i'm using I9505...even currently i think celcom having network coverage issue due to haze (i think) but i just wassap the shop i bought my s4 so i will be going there to ask and to check and to fix :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] noodlecore:
Hi,

How do we check whether the phone is SIMLock or not? Any secret codes which be able to see those infos? Tq.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ghaza:
Hi. This might sound like a noob question. I am using I9505 LTE and planning to change my sim card to celcom 4G. Just wonder will there be any problem or connectivity hickups in non-4G area when the sim is 4G.
[Galaxy S 4 General] override182:
Try changing the network mode to GSM/WCDMA instead of LTE/GSM/WCDMA. It will avoid the phone from excessively searching for LTE. GSM Auto (PRL) is quite the best for balance between network quality and battery life.

[Galaxy S 4 General] amfslash:
Hi guys, about to splash on an S4... Shud i get 9500 or 9505? On celcom, more looking at batt life n performance rather than internet speed..
[Galaxy S 4 General] yusmiza:
Both oh them have advantage and disadvantage..i9500 octa core..more faster than i9505 quad core..camery and grafic ..more better than i9505 but development more to i9505...google edition s4 also using i9505 version..i9505 got LTE ..lack in i9500..battery comparism..some of them say i9500 more battry friendly but i9505 also good in battery life..i m using i9505 and dont have battery life problem...its up to you ...but as i know ..new midel i9505 using qualcomm 800 means extremely fast rather older model i9505 qualcomm 600 model..my opinion..wait for new s4 with qualcomm 800..i m also gonna sell my s4 qualcomm 600 and buy s4 with qualcomm 800 if arrived in singapore or malaysia
[Galaxy S 4 General] amfslash:
Custom rom n kernel support by devs also matters, n with google going with the 9505 platform, i think that has made my decision :D

I dont have any problem with the screen personally..yup maybe one in 10k having problem..this is normal..s4 sold over 7 million global...so if someone got poblem..its fair right...i dont know bout others opinion
[Galaxy S 4 General] saffri:
i've change to celcom 4G sim. Free of course :p but at 3 branch is available to change to 4G sims (i think). i'd go to bluecude Sunway Piramid. i hope your I9505 do not have problem like mine where changing Celcom 4G simcard also did not make the LTE network mode option available. But when put in Maxis simcard, the LTE network mode option IS available (weird huh). So the shop helps me to fix it and now i'm using Celcom 4G :D (although for celcom, only at certain places)

Battery wise, so far no problem :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] ghaza:
Yes! Changed to 4G LTE sim card already. No problem so far. 4G signal detected immediately after put in the new sim card.
[Galaxy S 4 General] amfslash:
Ok got my s4 lte woohooo!!

Keeping to stock rom for a week to see batt life n check if any hardware issues.. switched to celcom lte simcard n getting 14mbps download speed in sunway area..

Now anyone using google edition rom? Whichbis the best or most stable so far? Does it effect the awesome camera of stock?
[Galaxy S 4 General] saffri:
used 4G in cyberjaya, on Monday manage to get 23Mbps...today manage to get 17Mbps :D

Hard to believe......immediately after changed to 4G sim at bluecube Sunway, reboot the phone and did speed test, download speed at 69mbps and 22mbps upload speed. But its only happen one time. The subsequence speed test only 23mbps.

BTW, have you install latest firmware for Malaysia MF8? Been using it for 2 days now but dont see much different from previous firmware version MEA.

Malaysian i9505 32gb ROM version

Hello,

Do you have any idea if the following phone is a genuine GT-i9505 32GB ROM version instead of Korean Galaxy S4 LTE "SHV-E300L"?

http://www.senheng.com.my/smartphones/12710-samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-32gb-black-mist-sam-gt-i9505.html

I want to buy international Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-i9505) with 32GB internal storage, but this is not sold worldwide broadly.

I'm really glad if the guy above is a true GT-i9505 32GB ROM version.

Thank you,

Pokizo
[Galaxy S 4 General] amfslash:
Senheng is a large and reputable chain of electronics store here in Malaysia. So if the website states I9505 then I would doubt that they would sell you a different one.

OK got 20+mbps in KL yesterday, nice.

After 2 days, my batt life is around 12hrs from unplugged with screen time of just under 4hrs.. hoping for things to improve.. updated to MF8 btw...

now so tempted to flash google edition.. anyone can give feedback? is the camera the same quality as samsung stock?

there is a new update for i9500 have anyone updated it?

what's new?
[Galaxy S 4 General] CtrlShiftEsc:
Hi, newbie here. It's good to have Malaysian community here as well. :D

As for me, I bought my GT-i9500 in about a month already. Everything is OK at the first time but now I keep getting funny error every time I try to open S Health. It's an error like "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped." and I have no idea on how to fix it. I'm using official firmware (no Root too), everything is standard.

About couple of days ago I have another problem where my S4 camera takes a long time to open itself. Every time I click "Camera", my phone's screen goes black and I have to restart my phone sometimes. It's kind of vexing even though I rarely capturing photos with that phone's camera since I expect the camera to work whenever I need it. Now my S4 camera problem has gone for I-wish-I-knew reason but the S Health problem is still there. Any bright thoughts regarding this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dkeys:

JDQ39.I9500XXUBMG1. any changes?

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone spotted any changes in this new update?
[Galaxy S 4 General] CtrlShiftEsc:
Erm...luckily my phone's camera works properly now despite taking longer than 1 second to launch itself. Nevertheless, having such ability to quickly launch the camera application would be great! :D

Same goes to my phone's camera for now. If I recall correctly, the camera would take about 2 to 3 seconds to launch. By the way, how do I update my firmware? I've already tried updating my phone's firmware through Software Update in Setting but no luck, with the message like "The software update is not available due to the maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded". Does that mean I have to update through Kies or just simply flash a new firmware with ODIN?

What about the S Health application? Does it work well on your phone? I'm having trouble with the application at the moment where it keeps spouting alert like "Unfortunately, the S Health has stopped." and then close itself every time I click it. Now the problem is starting to get into my nerves. :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheMrcool212:
Yes, flash through ODIN. Download the firmware @ www.sammobile.com/firmwares

Sent from my Galaxy S4 i9500
[Galaxy S 4 General] CtrlShiftEsc:
I see. OK, here comes a n00bish question. Does flashing the firmware through ODIN void my phone's warranty?
[Galaxy S 4 General] recorder:
you can use samsung kies to update as well... once you installed samsung kies and connect with your phone it will notify you for an update...

my camera takes 2 or 3 secs to on too.. =.= hopes there is new updates to solve the slow camera access
[Galaxy S 4 General] CtrlShiftEsc:
Ah, Samsung KIES. I still remember the time when I remove that software from my computer so that it doesn't have trouble with ODIN later. Now I'm just too lazy to reinstall it back. :p

Well, same goes with my phone's camera using I9500XXUBMF8 firmware. It would be great if this new update could make the camera launch faster than that (and solve the S Health problem as well, in my case).

Thanks [MENTION=4377838]rayzha[/MENTION] . I'm aware of the i9505 vs i9500 functionality. It's just that I thought there are two versions of i9505, quadcore snapdragon and octacore version.

Hi guys I sm from Sabah. When I bought my S4 2 weeks ago d firmware was not updated n many apps were buggy including wtsapp. I updated to MEA via odin n ph was much smoother but camera n gallery lag still persisted.

Today I got OTA firmware update of 18+MB and another of 30+MB after which my build number updated to G1. This is d latest firmware so far. Immediately I noticed camera n gallery lag is gone almost 100%.

Will spend somemore time on this build n will update anymore changes I observe.
