QUOTE(azuradaniel @ May 12 2013, 12:57 PM) Yesterday, send to Celcom. They reset/format the phone but still same problem. They replace with new simcard but same problem cannot send sms. We decided try with other no but celcom simcard still same, try with other telco simcard, success can send sms. Conclusion my S4 cannot use Celcom simcard. They don't replace with other phone but asked me to go to Samsung center to check. At Samsung they reformat/reset the phone again. After one & half hour, they call me to collect the phone. Put back my Celcom simcard still same problem, they try with other celcom simcard still same. At last I asked them put other telco simcard & success. But they also no replacement provide but asked me to go back to Celcom Bukit Rajah for replacement or go Samsung Summit for another check coz the said Samsung Klang no replacement procedure. I go back to Celcom branch Bukit Rajah but the office closed. Now,  I faced before such issue on my Note. All Telco OK except celcom. Sent in to service center n sim module replace FOC n issue solve

Tweet from SoyaCincau : Samsung dropped the prices for Galaxy S4 covers. The Flip Cover costs was RM159, now RM99. The S View Cover was RM189 now RM159
Still expensive - you can get alternative better quality covers for 30-40% cheaper from EBay

QUOTE(tancc19 @ May 12 2013, 09:07 PM) me too, anyone bought from Maxis and have SMS from Samsung? Buying from telcos is the worst if you want them to register warranty for you. 8/10 of them dont even bother doing it for you. Easiest get fellow forumer "Fallenout" help and he can do it for you FREE of charge. Just PM him your phone IMEI, name and mobile number and you will get the Samsung confirmation within minutes once he does it for you, usually quite fast within a few days ( depend how busy he is)

QUOTE(rhoyo @ May 13 2013, 07:55 AM) after rooting and factory reset my phone hangs and then show download mode .. looks like i brick my phone  What is your firmware? Did you flash right file as only newer latest firmware use only adam kernel. Older firmware needs a different file cofface- see page1 Since you can boot to download mode just flash again Phone is only softbrick nothing serious This post has been edited by benny888: May 13 2013, 08:33 AM

QUOTE(merci @ May 13 2013, 10:13 AM) HI, Hi, I just got samsung Galaxy S4. I have this new problem : I have a red/orange circle with no 1 inside for the' samsung apps' icon application. How to remove this notification? (the notification is similar when we get sms) I've tried to go to setting - application manager, scroll down to samsung apps and delete all data , cache and uncheck the nottification alert but the notification still there. Does the notification alert always on top of the icon? I'm afraid the notification alert will drain the battery. if not normal, how to remove it? Hope i get response from experienced forumer here. Thanks That is to inform you one app is available for update. Open Samsung apps locate the app n update it and notification will go away

All these talk about phone heating up please be specific - what temperatures are you seeing If it is between 40 to 50 degree C, it is normal and nothing to be worried about. All high end specs android smartphones are like that Different phones you will feel the warmness differently as it depends on the material of the backcover Example my Pantech Vega No6 does not even feel hot ( just slight warm) at 45 degree C while I can feel the heat at even 40 degree C on the S4, HTC One, Note 2

QUOTE(madman20 @ May 14 2013, 10:10 AM) Haha..Benny888 cannot tahan already  Not cannot tahan but users need to be more specific when talking about "heat" and "hot". I see these in practically every phone thread - HTC One X, One, S3, S2, Note etc etc And many new users are from Symbian based or Blackberry based and they are not so accustom to the warmness/heat generated by these high end Androids. So they always think something is wrong - so be specific, mentioned the temperatures than we will know whether your phone has a unusual behaviour out of ordinary

QUOTE(alexng2208 @ May 14 2013, 10:34 AM) but in note 2 thread, i think nearly nobody complains about the heat.. maybe sometimes but then its never uncomfortable. try putting a (any actually) laptop on your lap and play candy crush. it will burn your thighs off therefore for a quad core phone with graphics and full HD screen, a little heat is to be expected when you use it right? inb4, my note 2 also hot but its ok lar considering i was streaming songs through Kuwo, using Waze navigation and have bluetooth connected, full brightness (yesterday was a sunny day) and under the bright sun on my dashboard. it was warm although i didn't charge it at the same time, but its still ok and not burning hot.. just warm You are right about Note 2. It is still the coolest of all the high end Androids I have used ( vs S3,S4, HTC OneX, HTC One, Butterfy, Xperia Z, etc). Its operating temperatures averages 3 to 5 degree cooler - main reason also why its battery life is excellent and at times double that of other phones though its battery capacity is only 30-40% higher

QUOTE(HaN18 @ May 14 2013, 11:23 AM) my ram is around 1GB - 1.4GB is that normal? Yes normal. No need worry about this as in google andoid OS , To quote google : RAM IS MEANT TO BE USED. UNUSED RAM IS WASTED RAM So that is main reason why NOT necessary to use any auto task killers - these will only bring more ill effects to your phone and consume unnecessary resources
