    Meteor only do 18 and 24 month contracts, no? That skews the figures a bit.

    I have a bunch of nfc tags that I bought for S2 (before I realized it can't read them), but they don't work with S4. What type/brand of the tags I should buy?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have the logs in phone just show phone calls permanently rather than reverting to everything when you re-open it?

    Looks good! Where did you get it?

    PS: Is anyone else's phone heating up a lot at the back around the camera module?

    Cheers,

    Not extremely. The gallery always lags. Little bit of lag on the lock screen and other parts, but the library is the main lager.

    All the time. Try running the phone in safe mode for a day without any apps. Just to make sure it's not some app causing the trouble

    Thanks man. I am eagerly awaiting the Android Revolution HD ROM for the S4 and hoping that will fix this heating issue? Maybe there will not be one as I can't find anything about it!??

    What's the buzz with ARHD? It's just a stock ROM. People think that Mike does something magical to the ROM for some reason.

    For me just runs super super smooth and better battery. You know if he is working on one for the S4??

    Picked one of these up during the week and absolutely love it. I was very close to getting theHTC One but just preferred the S4 after playing with both.

    Anyway, one question, and it's a minor thing - my wallpaper doesn't scroll any more. Regardless of the screen I choose, it's a static image, which is different than my S2. Is this a 4.2.2 thing?

    It's not a 4.2.2 thing as it happens on my Nexus 7 which is on the same firmware. Not sure why it doesn't happen on the S4... might be a screen transition thing. If you are using Nova Launcher though it does have the the background move option!

    Well my phone is being sent away to be repaired or replaced......
    I dunno how I will manage with a brick in the meantime...

    I really would be mad to buy another S4 in the meantime to get me through the week????

    Depends on the store, but your generally entitled to a replacement within the first month of the phone, if they can replicate the fault.

    I had to take screenshots of all the crashing in order to get my first one replaced.

    And yes you would be mad
