Samsung Galaxy S4 thread - See Mod Warning in Post #1

Hope this is true ;

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/1799635/samsung_galaxy_s4_launch_will_be_march_15.html

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.

Failure to abide by the above will be treated with no tolerance.

Actually while i am here which phone would you cobsider better the note 2 or the s4???

A note 2 is basically an S4 with a larger screen and some more bells and whistles.

A better question to ask would be: what are your requirements?

Try Snapdragon Battery Guru. It stops apps from refreshing pointlessly (I'm looking at you Google services, and your location services)

My battery has gone down to quiet good use, minimal I mediocre use during work leaves me with around 75% left at around 6PM. Then I pretty much kill it before midnight by checking news, fb, twitter and video.

Right now screen on time is standing at 2 hours since 7:40 this morning.

Also a good tip is to turn off any Google plus syncing and drop box gallery video, document and picture sync. Found those to take up a bit of battery life.

I've also 2 spare batteries and external battery charger to get me through heavier days when I'm away from the charger.

I've just installed the snapdragon app. It says it 8s in learning mode for 4 days and 3 hours. Does that timeline sound right?

Yup, just about. Takes a couple of days to calibrate. You can still manually select the apps and select their refresh settings.

At the moment I have battery defender and advance task killer should I delete them and just install the snap dragon app instead,Any opinions welcome.

I wouldn't bother with the task killer in the first place. Not 100% sure but I don't think there's any point of having two battery savers. I tries battery defender pro before and just didn't find it that helpful + it confused the **** out of me with its set up

Does anyone that is using the Accuweather widget, know how to update the time settings after the clocks changed?

Tap the widget to open. Press the menu button and you will be presented with settings option. Scroll to the last option which is 'set time'.

Any one notice their phone slowing down from time to time? Have to restart the thing to get rid of the lag.

Another poster had a similar post on the Galaxy Note 3 thread, I'd be interested to see if both of you are on the same network and if that might be the problem.

Hi Folks,
Just got a note 3 and I'm selling on the S4. I want to unroot it first and I was wondering can I go straight to flashing the 4.3 tar file onto it from 4.2.2 where it is currently or should I get 4.2.2 stock first , then update.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Because of 'knox' it's difficult, if not impossible to hide the fact you've used custom firmware now. Whether this voids your warranty or not is a matter of debate.

Afaik you can simply flash a Google play edition rom straight onto a touchwiz s4, dye to subtle hardware differences between the two. There are a range of custom roms derived from stock firmware shuffle on xda, but I haven't tried any of them yet so I can't really advise.

Personally I'm gonna hold out and see what Samsung touchwiz 4.3 firmware looks like. Unless it's significantly improved, I'll probably end up looking for something to flash.

I have a unbranded one I got from three around launch. Should it be BTU, or TSI?

It's early days but I noticed an improvement in battery life since going to 4.3 yesterday. Have you noticed this slicktalker?

I suppose being on Meteor unlocked ill be waiting some time?

Anyone else having problems since the 4.3 update? I'm getting more application freezing, and not with non-standard apps either - Flipboard and a few others have been freezing, taking a few seconds of me hitting the back button before anything happens. Also, with Poweramp I'm getting regular blips in the music which wasn't happening before the upgrade. They might be application specific but have definitely only happened since the upgrade.

The only issue I've noticed is my equalizer has stopped working, installed another one and its the same
