Easy guys, no need for hostility.

When I first got the device I noticed a bit of lag but with new FW, perseus kernel that's all change (and NOVA launcher). I have the HTC One and I like it as well but read over on that Forum and there are also a fair share of problems. No device is without it's flaws. Samsung has a good track record of pushing out FW faster than you can say fast and with the quality of devs on XDA, there is almost nothing that is not fixable.

I agree that Sammy rushed the release perhaps with unfinished FW but this is quickly being fixed.

No need for the flaming though, that's not what this place is about.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Yep. Samsung is definitely going to take care of the problem, the first update got released quickly and there's definitely more to come.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AMDPOWERFIST:
Ive had my I9505 for over 2 weeks now, got it 2 days after release date. I havernt had a single issue with mine at all.

None of the issues discussed in this video apply to my device, i checked them 1 by 1.

Only issue i have had is minor lag. After upgrading to the newest ME2 firmware (Omega v3.0 ROM) combined with FauX-001 kernel all lag issues have fully ceased to exist. This is combined with NEXT LAUNCHER 3D which is a much more resource hogging Launcher than the default TW.

My advice: Send back the device you have, get another - review again after upgrading the firmware to one of the latest ones (stock or third party). I bet all 4 of your "major' issues disappear. I put this review down to a faulty device, not representative of the population of devices as a whole and therefore null and void.

This review is similar to me going to a car dealership, purchasing a car with a door hanging off - then giving it a terrible review because of a pre-existing (that shouldn't be there) fault... then not recommending it to others... Silly in my opinion, unless it is fully representative of the product as a whole.

Almost ALL of the phones i've had in the past ive got within days of release and almost ALL have had issues.... you know what happens though... they get fixed, its part of the software process. As for the hardware issues, as i said, send it back. It shouldnt have come with a faulty screen, that is true, but theres plenty out there that dont have faulty screens.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments, It's good to know the majority of you are not having problems with your S4. My journey continues I've got an S4 from a later batch due early next week. Will compare it to the one I have now and see if things have improved.
[Galaxy S 4 General] system.img:
The One's processor is actually not underclocked and the S4's is not overclocked as you say.

Both phones have different variants of the S600 and the S4's is designed to run at 1.9 GHz.
[Galaxy S 4 General] babyscouts:
I'm not seeing any of these issues.

You must have bought a counterfeit unit.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Slai:
I dont have a problem with any of my headsets, but sucks that some have that. But just use it at 10 or 12, seems to be easily remedied until a potential fix, alternatively make your retailer aware of the problem, so youll have no problem changing your device later on if its deemed to be a HW issue. Or using the warranty.

No WiFi problem either, but I dont have those routers either. I know there are some quick fixes that arent optimal, but make it work nonetheless. But yes, absurd problem.

My device never gets too hot either. Played games for longer than 20 minutes, no big deal about the heat. It heats, sure, but nothing I find problematic or even unusual. Its pretty much around the neighbourhood of my Lumia 920. Maybe a bit cooler than the 920.

I dont see a problem with the band, but I CAN pull on it with my nail if I want to. If this escalates somehow, Ill take it up with Samsung or my retailer. I really dont see this being a problem during the lifetime of my device (about a year) so unless youre in it for the LONG haul (2+ years), I cant see this being a big problem.

Even if it is, make your vendor aware of the issue and agree some form of return agreement if this is remedied in future batches, alternatively a replacement if the issue escalates.

"Buyer beware" strikes me as "oooh stear clear" instead of "bring your headphones and test them IF you want to have the volume at exactly 11, as they MAY not be great for that particular volume".

And stearing towards the HTC One seems absurd, it has a whole range of physical flaws according to the forums Ive been reading. Of course, such defects are remedied by HTC quite fast, but still.
[Galaxy S 4 General] knuckle03:
No problems here but i agree with you that the software is a bit of rushed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jarraheissa:
Do u recommand GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 , i dont see samsung keeps both up to dated frequency, GT-I9500 gets more updates.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
There are three things that have been mentioned here that are almost impossible to compare on Android unless the devices being compared are running stock s/w without any user added apps, s/w, or configuration changes. They are battery life, lag, and heat. And even battery life bone stock is hard because if wireless is active the Wi-Fi, LTE, HSPA signal quality makes a difference.

For the heat scenario, if apps one person has running in the background are using processing power (or competing for it) while gaming their device could run hotter than someone else’s. Battery managers, task killers, and CPU monitors are pretty pervasive and I could see them adding to load when monitoring the device at max thresholds.

Lag's pretty much the same. If a device lags out of the box it's OEM s/w causing it. If it doesn't, it could be some combination of apps and settings contributing to it. It shouldn't be memory because the SGS4 has plenty and Android would just start killing processes if it needed more. And apps that worked well on one device, even another Samsung device, might not be trouble free on the SGS4 because there's tons of new code, a new SoC and GPU, a 1080P display (graphics issues), and a new OS (4.2).

Battery life's always fun to watch people discuss. A car with an EPA MPG rating of 24 MPG combined (city/highway) would get different results if someone was carrying four passengers on winding mountain passes averaging 35 MPH than someone driving it alone at a steady 55 MPH on a totally flat interstate. If the first person got 18MPG and the second got 28MPG they'd both have gotten what should have been expected under the circumstances. But with Android battery life every device I've followed has "Wow, battery life is fantastic!" threads with "OMG, battery life sucks!" threads right below them. They are both right. The "wrong" is trying to compare so many different use cases with so many individual variables affecting performance.

You can tell if something's "real" and how "widespread" it is by how many posts and threads it accumulates (and not an OP or handful of people commenting on every new post to bump the thread and make it larger). Clearly there are some s/w issues and display driver issues with the SGS4 based on that. Wi-Fi, heat, and the bezel haven't been mentioned in large enough quantities to be called issues based on the low volume of reports. Not that some folks aren't having those issues; they just aren't OMG! “buyer beware” issues (yet).
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Exactly, that's why I said in an earlier post that I have read many users opinions and reviews, never heard of any of the issues the OP has mentioned. I think it is his own frustrations. Lag has been reported in many S4 threads, volume at 11 being bad hasn't nor the device getting hot "supernova" to the point you can't touch it. To the OP, ill recommend you either exchanging the device or get another phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] btemtd:
I own the I9505... No problem at all,.... Only the smearing issue which everyone has which will be fixed on further updates and if you cannot wait you can fix it yourself using a free playstore app.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ixon2001:
Well got my S4 today.

There are no build problems at all on mine thank god.

Tried the mp3 player with volume set to 11 with both stock earphone & my goldrings headphones no distortion that i can tell, so im happy with that.

When playing some games it does get warm no hotter than what the S3 got.

Screen smearing yip noticed this, doesn't bother me really, S3 did it aswell to some degree.

Camera doesn't crash on mine.

Touchwiz is slightly laggy, maybe get sorted soon, I'm using Nova Launcher no such problems with that.

Overall very happy with mine :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
I don't think OP's alone. It comes down to people having different expectations. For people like you and me who run through a ton of devices we kind of expect some things to be fantastic and other things less so. It's just like cars. No car is "perfect" and does everything everyone buying it expects it to perfectly. I love my car but the placement of some of its controls drives me crazy. And when it’s cold outside the lift gate doesn't automatically rise high enough so I knock myself unconscious all winter. But since I can't pick and choose features from other cars to have added to mine I just accept those failings because I like the car.

If I see another post on XDA that says "I paid "X" $/£/€/¥ and for that I expect perfection" I'll scream. No device I’ve ever followed has been “perfect.” The SGS4 isn't the N2, or SGS3, or One. It'll most likely do some things exceptionally better than those devices and have some idiosyncrasies that drive people crazy. As will those other devices. People that enjoy the 90% of a device that works really well are happier in the long run than those that focus on the 10% that doesn't work the way they'd like. And nothing's going to change the latter any way. If the SGS4's "10%" drives people crazy and another device does those things better they should buy the other device. But all they are doing is trading one “10%” for another.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Congrats on getting the phone! I have a week to go.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

OP isn't alone in experiencing issues but again, first time I hear the issues he mentioned. And I think he took them to heart :p cause he sounds really mad. But hey, if one is unhappy it is his right to complain especially after spending $$$ on a new phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] randombirt:
+1
[Galaxy S 4 General] abubasim:
Depends on how important the 10% are. A personal example: After losing my Note 2 to my daughter, I got an iPhone 5 and liked most of it. But the crappy calendar was driving me nuts. It doesn't allow you to copy entries and entries have to start on 5 minute intervals. And it doesn't allow you to choose which day the week starts on. The calendar on my startphone is less than 10% of all the functions but it's one of the apps I use more often.

Hi Everyone,

I got below link which claims Samsung SideSync is working with non-samsung PC & any samsung smartphone:

If anyone want to know what is SideSync, see:

I still have to check whether it works on our note or not (will check after office). If anyone found it working, let us know in this thread. Apk files are attached, which I found in the same thread (2nd page).

Screen sharing is working fine, fun stuff. You can type with PC's keyboard, record videos, take screenshots - will be useful for presentations, rom reviews etc. You can just drag files to copy - cool stuff.

Side Sync - PC app is required, the one in original thread is for Screen Sharing only.

BTW.

I run this on AOSP PA 3.5 from Beerbong.

I think the only requirement of this application is your USB driver in PC/Laptop must be installed properly. Can you check whether USB driver for your phone installed properly or not ? Once driver is O.K., first start Screen sharing application from your mobile and then, start PC application and follow the instructions.

Hi there.

my Asus infinity with 4.2.1 Android, is shutting down on 32 or 30% of battery.

What is the problem?

I checked the settings, and turned off the Power Saving options.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] CiaronDarcOne:
Hmm.. could be a problem with battery memory. Does the tablet switch back on afterwards without the need to plug it in? How often does it happen? Everytime, or just sometimes?

Thank you sooo much for quick reply.

Okay here are your answeres:

Does the tablet switch back on afterwards without the need to plug it in?

No, I have to plug the power in. and a few minutes charge it will boot

How often does it happen? Everytime, or just sometimes?

It started today. I didn't let the battery to get 30%. I always charge it. but today I noticed the problem on 30% and few minutes ago 32%. and 3 times today.

[Asus Transformer TF700] muehle795:
Had this problem recently, this bug is software related (appears on various devices since jb). While in the bug you can charge over 100% so when using it it can stay for few hours on 100% then start dropping but will die at 30-40%

To fix it just charge a few percent and unplug it. Then shut it down and wait over night ( an few hours for example 1 wasnt enough for me but around 5.

Just power your device on and you will see that the percentage level is normal again! [dropped down the 30-40%]

[Asus Transformer TF700] CiaronDarcOne:
Definately sounds like a battery memory issue. As in your battery is actually depleted when it says 30%. Weird software glitch that should be easily fixed by letting it run till it shuts down (at 30%) and let it charge WITHOUT switching it back on for a few hours past the point when the green light goes on.

Themed version of "Dood's Music Streamer"

Current version: 1.3.6

Last updated: 050514

I've just modded it to make it look more "groovesharky". I've also changed the icon, name and the widget.

The result is a fake "official" Grooveshark app.

Very simple. This is my first post and I'm not a developer at all, I did this just for fun, as I wanted a better looking free Grooveshark client.

FEATURES

- Listen to your favorite music wherever you are, whenever you want.

- Import lists from your Grooveshark-account.

- Save your lists for offline-streaming.

- Discover new music with the radio function.

- No annoying ads.

- Free.

DOWNLOAD

View attachment 2734998

INSTALLATION

1. Remove all previous versions of "Dood's Music Streamer".

2. Download the app and put it on your sd-card.

3. Go to a file manager and install it as a normal apk.

4. Enjoy!

For the ads I use Adaway, so no the ads will still be there if you don't have an adblocker.

I will hopefully have some time to learn myself some coding this summer and I'll begin my "system/computer science" studies at university in September so hopefully I will learn how to dev apps better, and maybe I'll dev an own GS-client in the future, who knows.

As a paying Grooveshark user ($3/month) this app always irks me when it comes up every repost. I say its bad because you bypassing their pay wall but it does get more users using GS soooo........

Also TinyShark is a similar app.

There is a reason that these are not on the play store you know.

Carry on ... Just wanted to drop my $0.02 in.
[Android Apps and Games] gaspariperez:
You dont need to buy dms ad remover, mysticdeath removed the ads in version 1.3.2
[Android Apps and Games] gaspariperez:
What was your point?...
[Android Apps and Games] slimdizzy:
Its piracy. That's why the app got kicked from the play store. But then again Grooveshark got kicked from the play store for "allowing people to share music". But that's a different matter entirely.

But like I said before just my $0.02.

Enjoy the music while it works :)
[Android Apps and Games] gaspariperez:
So all music streaming services are piracy? This app just lets users get free music from a free desktop streaming service like Grooveshark. Users could easily use their free mobile site anyways, this just makes the service easier.
