No problem with my S4 regarding temperature.
It's cooler than my S3 that only reached 38ÂșC with 4hrs nonstop browsing  hmm.gif

Right. No such overheating which I believe an isolated case
It is obviously even cooler than HTC One by 3-5 degree C overall while in use

To all sifu,
Is it normal that sometime the signal bar is there but not the H+ . Therefore i can't use wechat and whats app . Need  o restart the phone to get the H+ back again. Am I getting a lemon phone? Cheers.
*
3g or E is good enough for such stuffs
You don't need H+
Probably is your simcard problem. Have it change n assess again

May i know how is the battery life for u guys? Seem like my this S4 battery is not as good as the Nexus 4 as reviewers stated. Even when my phone is not in use the battery is draining like hell. I off all the sensors too. Checked battery usage and saw the exchange service is using alot of the juice. anyway to improve it? Thanks
*
I feel it Is definitely better than nexus 4
See my posting details about 2 days back on this showing SOT n battery usage
Battery drain with 3g on even overnight 2-3% over 7 hours is common
Check your wakelocks using app betterbatterystats

quote "..I have this annoying yellow tint on my S4's screen, but disappears when the phone is tilted over 45 degrees. Is this faulty ?"

just some of the post i read.

Firstly those quotes is only by one user and does not represent the majority
Go and assess yourself - plenty of demo sets around
I don't have such issues at all on my set

This is nothing new. Seasoned galaxy users would already know this trick to improve any lag if it bothers you
The author over exaggerated it saying it improve lag 10 times

Is the camera lens ordinary glass which is easily scratch? And  anyone able to solve the camera app hang and phone reboot problem?

Users having such camera /reboot should send in to service center. If is firmware issue everyone will be affected n not only few users
Mine is perfectly fine since day one till now

S4 is basically is over bloated with stuffs. I have pointed out some of the gimmicky stuffs n some not even working properly. This review sums it up well. But it will still sell by millions greater than HTC One. Simply the masses doesn't care unlike some of us who are more inclined to some technical stuffs

Ok so I went to sleep yesterday with 51% battery but woke up to 41%. I'm sure this is not normal so any reason why? My wifi was on, it was on power saving mode and that's about it.

Next time use betterbatterystats app to check wakelocks. Google for these if you don't understand. You should target for say 2-3% drop over 7-9 hours idle. Mine is consistently this range with 3g on but wifi off

I had the camera reboot issue once yesterday. But today it was fine. No firmware upgrade in between.

Still sounds like firmware instability to me rather than a hardware issue.

Or it could be some 3rd party app interference?? If firmware, every user will be facing it n firmware problem will consistently give you such problems

Use Odin in PC
If yours is rooted can use mobile odin to maintain root
No data will be wipe in both methods

Hi guys, I'm a iphone user wanting to switch to android. I have a question regarding the S4.

Is it possible to root the phone to run stock android and still keep the Samsung features like airview, smart stay, smart pause, etc..??
*
Yes definitely
Rooting will not change / delete any stuffs
It allow you admin access only

I never faced any such camera causing reboot issues till today. Maybe it is because I never update to the latest rom as I rooted it and unable to update it OTA. Probably the latest rom update is causing such issues
