I can see why people get worried. Some screens are of lower quality. I have had the note 2, s3, s2 and gnex and I have tried to be as careful as possible but have had burn in on all of those. I never did on the original sgs though.

As far as I am aware samsung hasnt released any sources for their exynos processor. So it makes non samsung roms like CM10 harder to dev for. Hence why there are stable versions & nightlies for the i9505 and a work in progress one for the i9500.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffnz:
Interesting that you joined in June and the vast majority of your posts are in the HTC One forum, that either means you haven't owned an S4 or never had any issues with it like you seem to have had with HTC One with the camera.

Suffice that if you like the HTC One thats great enjoy it and those of us with the S4 will either enjoy it or get rid of it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Agreed, I have both as well (i9500 S4 and HTC1 black 32gb).

My only gripe with the HTC1 is the camera resolution. 4MP isnt great, even though it provides reasonable clarity at that resolution. Night pics and video suffer a little as well, but I hear this is fixed in 4.2.2? On the flip side, the S4 camera takes great shots (if it can focus quick enough), but the lag and bugs, not to mention sloooow startup time, in the camera software kill the experience for me - some of which are still present with MF8 firmware.

There are other things that annoy me about the S4 too, eg, Plantroincs bluetooth battery widget doesnt work on the S4. The widget works perfectly fine on the HTC1. For me thats a killer as I use my Plantronics backbeat Go headset every day and need the indicator to see the battery level status...

The S4 single speaker is also absolute rubbish, as is the Samsung equalizer. HTC1 with beats wins hands down.

The HTC1 screen is also much brighter outside, and being 4.7" its so so sharp and clear. Colour reproduction is excellent too, not oversaturated like the S4.

Some people have said the HTC1 scratches easy. I tend to agree, but I coated mine with an Auto ceramic paint protection hard coat liquid called "Opticoat" and its worked extremely well to protect against everyday use.. I also have a Belkin smoke black TPU case on it which protects it from the bump n grind.

The S4 is really good with games (I'm addicted to Minion Run) and with the Octa CPU it glides thru complex rendering with ease. The HTC1 has a bit of lag/stutters some times, but generally its just as good. I'm not a benchmark guy, Antutu nets around 27000 for the S4, and only 22000 for the HTC1.. Also worth noting, Real Racing 3 doesnt work on the S4 i9500 either.. Of course I don't play this often, but the HTC1 is fully compatible, and compatibility is a good thing. I hear the S4 i9505 with S600 chipset gets real hot while playing RR3 too. My HTC1 gets warm but not excessive.

Maybe the new S4 with LTE-A and S800 chipset will pull me back (or maybe the Sony Z with S800 coming soon - I had the original Sony Z and it wasn't bad), but overall the HTC1 is the winner for me IMO. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I made the switch from HTC one to S4 back to HTC one. First of all it's always a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is better because it has nearly flawless performance, the display is the best in a smartphone ever, battery life is pretty good although S4 is better, the design is beautiful, the speakers are insane and all that good stuff. The S4 is very comfortable in the hand, has a nice display and fantastic battery life but it stutters way too much, it's really frustrating, also I find most of the features to really be gimmicky in practice. I tried The S4, HTC one And optimus G pro and in my opinion the one is the best.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Looks like I will keep the One then :eek:

Unless Sammy find a way to correct all the lags and stutterings of the S4 with updates...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimilaci:
I owned an s3 and also an s4 and yes

I had issues with the s4...but as I said I had an s3 and basically the s4 is an s3 on steroids so I could manage to get rid of all the annoying bugs(features)... And is that a problem that i did not post anything in s4 ....funny....google is there ....you dont have start a new topic whenever you have a question....anyway... I was not satisfied

I just shared my opinion and the pros/cons i noticed....

Both devices are amazing btw:)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centrezuk:
i had the htc one for 3 weeks i bought it because it looks so stunning compared to the s4 but give it 6 months it will be scratched and look totally crap, it does scratch so very easily and u will need a case on it permanently, blinkfeed is a waste of time.. zoe camera waste of time.. hasnt got half the features the s4 has, i am now the proud owner of S4 i just wish i had got this before the one..

camera quality=same

screen=same

video=same

people will argue the htc one has better screen FPI video quality etc.. but in reality the average person will not notice the difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrik.dk:
The reason I bought s4 is just that it has bigger screen/removable battery/lighter.

I did compared it against htc one before the buy.

But the downside compared to htc one is:

1. audio speaker

2. screen brightness under direct sunlight/screen purple tint when sliding/blue tint at viewing angle like 45/color accurate.

3. easy to collect dust on the front gap.

I am from htc sensation.

other are just user habit. previous I like physical home button. But it is inconvenient to long press the home button to get

the recent app list. the power button on the right side could let the screen on when sliding into the cover.

design wise, when holding s4, it is like holding a mini tablet of boring design. HTC one is really a piece of art.

If the bigger screen is important to you, I would say s4 is a sure choice. There is no perfect phone.

I switched from One to S4 cause I found the camera to be horrible on my developer edition HTC one (it had old firmware, and there was no updates)

But now I'm in the process of switching back to a Google Edition HTC One.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
If Sammy corrects the stuttering then it should be a pretty good device. But even then, the HTC one is just the better phone trust me and I'm a Samsung guy. Having used the HTC one and then used other phone made me realize how amazing the one is. Maybe you should switch to realise it as well:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
No one can deny the One has great performance ( cuz it has barely no features + no animations )

But for GS4 in other hands has a lot of features + bloatwares :p but it has really good performance i play with my sis GS4( Octa version ) every day and its vary rare to stutter so i'm not sure why some people have stuttering problem

And BTW my eyes are so sensitive to any frame drops ( and i really hate them :eek: ) and they still happen on Android even with project butter :/

Warranty is honored, but never EVER on a one to one exchange basis.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratif:
Well samsung was really nervous after seeing their grip getting loose on the market after big fish like xperia and One were released.samsung were not confident enough to rely on their home cooked pseudo octa Core that they made snapdragon based i9505...and to make things even more disappointing they declared i9505 as the international version. And now they are releasing snapdragon 800 based s4...samsung I really love u but please...I didn't pay 600$ to get lost into the confusion of which s4 do I have and which I should have bought.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
You kinda owe it to yourself to research before buying. Doesn't just apply to phones, but everything, otherwise you may end up disappointed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratif:
And how could have I researched?who on earth knew there would come a snapdragon800 s4??unless u r the VP of Samsung...and the common sense was,always has been that i9100 i9300 were international version. So should have i9500...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
No one knew about the S4 LTE-A, but I was talking about researching the i9500 and i9505. Just because a certain phone line was the international one for a long time doesn't mean it has to continue being that.

If you're going to buy a certain phone, you kinda have to research about it. Like, will it be good? Are there better ones? Does this come in different versions? After all $600+ is a lot for a phone and should therefore meet all one's expectations. Right? :)

Don't worry about there coming better phones in a short time, that's just a good sign of technology advancing fast and quick. The i9500 and i9505 don't because any less good just because there's an S4 LTE-A out with slightly better hardware. Besides, who's to say the S4 LTE-A will come to Europe or the US? South Korea has LTE-Advanced networks, the rest of the world has normal LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Samsung certainly wasn't worry about no Xperia Z, I wouldn't call that phone a big fish at all. It's not even available in the US, a Huge market country. And with all the noise the HTC one is making its not even coming close to Samsung sales or market share. Those are facts not an opinion.

Both are great devices.. I was pondering which one to get even the day I bought my phone. I tried them both in the store and the button configuration made it clear to me that I'm going with the S4

Good luck :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
I sold my HTC when I got my S4 and dont regret it, the only two things I miss from the HTC are the loudness in headphones and the ability to send long texts not just three pages.

I love HTC devices but HTC are taking the mick as the One was supposed to be their flagship phone and even though many are saying the butterfly S isn't HTCs flagship phone, apart from the alluminium build (which I don't really like anyway because it gets scratches etc on it so am going to put a case on it anyway) the butterfly s is better. Ok its mostly the same but you have slightly bigger screen, a three button layout which i prefer rather than having the current two button and the HTC logo in the middle of the bottons it looks ugly and you get mirco sd card slot and a much bigger battery, why couldn't HTC atleast add a bigger battery to the one if anything.

It was battery and micro sd card reasons why I mainly got the s4 as I ran out of the 25gb free memory space, a micro sd card slot would have solved that and then a bigger battery would have solved my battery life problems aswell not that the battery on the one was rubbish but the s4s battery last much longer especially in stand by.

Now I am still waiting for samung to bring the darn update that resolves the crackling in headphones

I have an HTC one and i really like it. Just bought an S4 because the HTC one was just blacklisted so I must return it to the seller. I went with the S4 because I wanted to try the s4. What I loves about the HTC one is the no lag, screen, speakers, build quality and volume. What I was highly dissapointed in the camera. Ultrapixel works great in low lighting conditions. Sucks any other time. looking forward to the larger battery, sd card slot, GOOGLE WALLET :D, and camera. Not too fond of AMOLED screens but this one is much better than the one on the S3 which I hated so I'm giving samsung chances, but another reason is updates. samsung will update the s3 to 4.2.2. HTC is flacky with their updates. I've gone through the s3, iphone 4, nexus 4, oppo find 5, htc one all this year. I may need to detach myself from the tech world. These phones aint cheap XD. anyways, I'm a flash addict and I approved this message

bought it from a dude off ebay. idk how he got it but exactly at 8am yesterday, precisely right after I flashed a mod, the signal never came back. i thought it was the mod, until I called T-mobile at 12 am est today and they verified that the device was blacklisted. Looking forward to trying out the s4 though. good thing is if im really not digging it, i can unlock it (as i see there is an unlocking thread) and sell it and not really loose any money and go back to the htc one.

while using this version of ThinkingBridge ROM​

[/SIZE]

Link to ROM thread

PLEASE make sure to thank developer for the dedication to this ROM

Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter

*​

F.A.Q. and COMMON ISSUES

Scripts in /etc/init.d/ folder doesn't work. Why?

At the moment you can use one of these apps as a workaround. They will run the 99kernel script (or any other script you like) at boot.

Script Manager: Play Store Link

Universal Init.d: Play Store Link

Because I noticed some errors with CPU settings while running the 99kernel script, I suggest to read the second post and to use the custom script posted there. It's basically the same script, but with CPU settings disabled.

To configure your CPU, you can find the useful tool coming with the ROM under Settings -> Common -> CPU Settings.

My phone gets hot and/or I have random reboots on low battery level.

This could be caused by your kernel settings. Please follow the instructions to run the 99kernel script with this configuration:

GPU=266667000

DD=200000000

FSYNC=2

Now set your CPU with this configuration (don't know how? read the first Q&A above):

Governor CPU: BADASS

Minimum CPU frequency: 384 MHz

Maximum CPU frequency: 1566 MHz

These settings should ensure good stability and good performance.

My UI starts to flicker, specially when I'm on lockscreen.

This is a beahvior experienced by some users. Developers are still looking for a fix. Any temporary solution/workaround will be posted here.

I'd really like to help in solving the "screen flickering issue". I'd like to get some informations to isolate the problem. Please answer these questions and post them here (when you have time and if you want, nothing mandatory!) ;)

Are you disabling hardware overlay from Developer options?

Albino said that screen flickering can be caused by a memory leak in the framework: how many lockscreen widgets do you have? Do you use Ribbons?

Which kernel are you using?

Are you overclocking CPU or GPU? Please post your settings.

In your specific case: the problem is completely random, or does it happen on specific apps/actions?

hi Guys,

I just installed this awesome ROM a few days a go. I like it very much but I'm having a problem with it.

The problem I mean is a flickering lockscreen and sometimes even the whole UI flickers so that I have to make a complete reboot.

I'm not sure but it seems at if the flickering only happens when my battery has less than 50% of its power.

Maybe someone can help me with this problem

best regards from Germany :)
