Hope this is true ;

MOD NOTE: This thread is about the Samsung Galaxy S4. It is not:

A penis measuring contest on how phone X is so much better than it (although reasonable comparisons are allowed).
A chance to complain about retail outlet or operator who are (not) supplying the S4.
An opportunity to spam, troll, flame or otherwise derail the thread.

Mulling over getting an S4, would anyone know where would I get a simfree version cheapest online?

I have an S4 clone so hoping the settings are the same! Under Settings, Notifications, Default Notification, you can set your own tone. However, this tone is used for both incoming e-mail and text messages. I don't want it for e-mail as I'm persecuted every time I get new mail :mad:. Is there any way of adjusting this? Can't do it from the settings screen. Is there a way around it?

You can change the GMail email notification in the app, I have the same notifications for all IMs and a different one for emails.

Anyone have tips on cleaning the touchscreen?

She never claimed it was. She clearly stated it was a clone but was hoping the settings were the same. How about trying to be helpful rather than pointing out the obvious.

actually just noticed the video is very choppy, tbh i just want it for the Photosphere so i dont mind at all

Yeah something wrong with it. Even though its set to 1080p the video is all pixelated in the view finder.

Maybe some incompatibility

Its the camera and the gallery app, no need for root. Works fine as far as I can tell, nice to have a clean camera interface without all that clutter Samsung puts in. Though I do imagine missing the video record button beside the shutter button.

Thanks Fieldog , is this the full camera app? or just the gallery? been seriously missing the photosphere from my Galaxy Nexus, so much so i went back to my Nexus today

Do you need to be rooted to install the apk or just enable other sources?

I went from iphone 3G - 3GS - 4 - 5 and made the jump to a Galaxy S4. It's definitely worth the move.

Far better camera, better battery life, better screen, faster, better for customisation, all round I'm happier with it.
It will take you a few days to get used to it but after that there's no looking back.

Be waned re the cables though, my Samsung stock cable or my Kindle cable charge the phone at least 3 or 4 times faster than a generic micro usb cable. Have picked up an extra samsung one for the desk at work because of this.

MrVestek

Ohh sorry thought it was the Galaxy S4 camera app. Don't mind me. :-)

I don't think you're allowed to do that here. That's proprietary software.

Why not?

I'd understand if it's a third party app - but this is basically for stock Android 4.3 camera, which will be in every AOSP device going forward, not just Sammy handsets - it works on my N4....

Mods if there is any issue with the above feel free to delete...

Hi Carmanard,

Yes any generic usb micro cable should charge it but as others have noted the Samsung wall charger seems to charge it slightly faster for wahtever reason.

I wouldn't think twice about taking the plunge... come over to the lighter side of the force! :-)

OK, noob questions here, sorry if they cause offence but figured I'd ask... I am basically 90% decided on getting a Galaxy S4 this weekend. Have had iPhones for the last 4 years (3gs then 4s) but have no inclination to change to the iPhone 5 as it doesn't seem worth it to me. Agonised over the decision between the S4 and the HTC One, but have pretty much settled on the S4 now. So, my questions... Anyone using the S4 on O2, has the firmware update for the moving of apps to SD card come around yet?? It's the small capacity out of the box that had me dubious to start with, but SD card would alleviate any of those concerns.... As regards charging cables, I assume any generic non-union Mexican equivalent USB to mini USB cable would do the job for me?? Android will be basically a new experience for me having been indoctrinated into iOS for years, but I have used a bit of it on the OH's tablet & galaxy mini and it doesn't seem too complex, I'm actually looking forward to delving in to it, should I make sure to download Kies right off the bat so as to ease myself through the transition?? Battery life doesn't really seem too bad to me, my 4S barely gets a day out of a charge so I'd be used to having to plug in every evening anyway... Anyhow, sorry to ask the stupid questions, just doing final checks I suppose before I go ahead and make the switch, I have a natural aversion to major changes and like to make as sure as possible that I'm making a good move before pushing the button!!

Simi

There has been much grumbling about firmware updates in the uk/Ireland thread over on xda. It appears (for the moment at least) that three are the quickest at getting out updates and that sim-free variants will be the last to receive them, as was the case with the s3.

The result of which is that some people are actually rebranding their sim-free phones to three.

Personally, I would normally unbrand & root my phone as a matter of course, before customizing it to my liking. But after 2 years of Cyanogenmod, custom kernels, launchers, third party system apps etc. The stock touchwiz experience is actually kind of a novelty!

Same here. I'm on Meteor as well mate and no update so far......

Would rooting the phone fix this problem. I was also looking at the Google play edition, I'm sure there is a ROM available to get that.

But i've no idea where to start with rooting

Apparently , the stock ROM will give 12GB of space on the phone rather than the 9 with Touch Wiz

According to SamMobile.com, Meteor have not released the latest update yet.

Their latest one is apparently I9505XXUAMDE released in April
