One thing that is really annoying me is the Emergency Call button on the lock screen , i always press it.

Even when when the phone is my pocket , i feel it vibrating slightly and i look to see a dozen numbers on the emergency dialer.

One of these days it'll call the guards or something

I've had mobiles do that in the past but not this one. It's always fun when they call back to ask what was wrong.

'Erh... yeah sorry about that I'm a retard...'

Well it arrived today and it looks the part. Very nice phone. Charging away here and cant wait to get home to try it out.
The poor iPhone 5 looks tiny beside it!!
Now to get a good cover for it. Dont like those flip ones. Looking for something silicon or similar.

Well I'll tell you what I just ordered an imitation S-View cover from eBay there the other day, when it arrives you can have my black silicone cover if you like? Only cost me €15 so I'm not going to ask you for anything for it.

Clareman · 31-07-2013 03:53PM

Can you send me on the link for the S-View cover? I'd like to try 1 but I don't want to spend 30 quid on 1

I've bought a few of these in different colours from this place and they've been perfect. Sometimes the price changes to £2.99 so watch out for that too.

Hey Achilles, thatd be brilliant. If you can post it to Galway Ill cover the postage?
Also I have a proper white S-View cover that came with the phone. You can have it if you want? I know I wont use it.

Yeah that'd be fantastic, I'd cover the cost of postage myself as a thank you so don't worry about that.

PM me your address and we'll work something out.

New update out today,phone is currently updating.

brian ireland · 02-08-2013 08:20AM

Three times now, once every week for the last three weeks my phone won't respond while it has been charging overnight. It's switching off and I have to take the battery out to restart it. Anyone else come across this?

I rooted and installed that straight away after getting the phone last week. Very stable ROM with all the Samsung extras included.

I got this too and it's made a massive difference to the performance of my phone. My home screen was regularly stuttering and considering how powerful the phone is I was really disappointed with it, however this update has cleared any of that up and it's now perfectly smooth. I'm very happy!!

markc1184 · 02-08-2013 12:42PM

I'm still having a problem with the WIFI dropping. I've tried resetting my modem and connecting the phone to it again but the problem is still there. Has anyone any ideas of what else to try. I didn't have this problem before the update, WIFI connection was always stable.

evolutionqy7 · 02-08-2013 01:11PM

Change the router WiFi channel

Exact same as has been happening mine. Has this only started since you updated your phone?

Honestly I can't remember when it started but I don't think it was happening when I first got the phone,It might have started happening at the start of june maybe.

coldfire1x · 02-08-2013 03:51PM

Got the update last week or so. No such problem for me. Connects fine on my office and home wifi. I never switch it off though wherever I am it just connects.

So I dont think it's related to the update.

Dempsey · 02-08-2013 05:34PM

I have a water damaged S4 here and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in Ireland that does repairs for a reasonable price?

I was looking at a review of the teardown on ifixit and its easy enough to fix with the right tools and spare parts.

The phone itself wont turn on but the battery charge screen does turn on when plugged in but the charging image is frozen.

evosteo · 02-08-2013 10:43PM

took my s4 out of my pocket today and found the screen all distorted, cant see or make sense of anything, like what the hell, theres no damage on the phone at all, hasn't been dropped or even marked for that matter and now my screen is gone?????? is this an issue with the s4?????? its on bill pay so will meteor repair of replace it? i have to say after been so impressed with it since i got it, (2 months ago) im starting to have doubts about buying it with issues like this.

has anybody else had this problem??????

steve

evolutionqy7 · 02-08-2013 10:50PM

Jeez people what would ye be doing or keeping in your pockets. My phone spends majority of the time in my front pocket without keys, coins or anything else and its fine.

Last time I heard the guy cracking or damaging a screen "from his pocket" he had to pay for the full screen.

evosteo · 02-08-2013 10:55PM

the screen isnt cracked let me be clear about that, there is not even a mark on it but the display is all distorted like the lcd is damaged, how could this happen if the phone is unmarked???????

That sounds like a faulty screen. Get onto Meteor ASAP

That can happen if there was too much pressure put on the screen, this can happen if something else was in the pocket squeezing against it or if you had it in your back pocket.

There doesn't have to be physical damage to the unit for you to have damaged the screen.

MrVestek · 07-08-2013 11:33PM

Can you post a pic of what it's like? Might give us a better idea as to what could be causing the issue.

evolutionqy7 · 08-08-2013 07:18AM

Dropped my phone onto a tiled floor in a super market.

Cracked the **** out of the screen. Still works and all but will have to send it away with insurance
