I think he is asking a valid question. I'm wondering the same, whether it's because people have more choice as in HTC One, XZ, BB10 etc... still S4 is a very good phone, and heralds what to expect in the Note 3 drool.gif

Well so far my i9505 has given me quite a satisfactory battery life. I don't use it as much but some medium usage all day yesterday watching videos occasionally, listening to music, web surfing etc. and I still had a good amount of battery left when I got home.I think it was about 2 and a half hours of screen time. Probably gonna do a proper screen-shot some other day of the usage and screen time.

Plus I use LTE all day and it doesn't seem to affect battery life that much haha
Hopefully can get this kind of speed with Celcom when I go home and they have their LTE network ready haha XD

Much as I like the current crop of Samsung devices, this is a fail for Samsung:

when will 32gb be available? for early adopters this is not an option. the only real option is for samsung developer/designer to reduce the bloatware.
*
Precisely. Game are large due to the graphics. Here in the S4 it's probably large due to lack of code optimization. For all the features you get, the screens aren't anywhere near the graphic intensity of, say, NFS:MW. Most of it is likely code bloat.

I don't think Samsung wiil produce 64Gb yet or may be never produce it.
Android 4 only support app in internal memory for stability like apple did.

It is not entirely for stability. It is about control of content, and to some extent, security.

In the case of that fruit company, it is entirely about control. They control, not you.

With Iphone & Ipad I can backup/move my app & data to PC/Mac with itune. I just keep my use app & data inside ipad & iphone other keep inside pc/mac. Can install back anytime, I normally download game & app using PC/MAc & install later to iphone/ipad. How to do it with android? I new in android.

Itunes is your gatekeeper. Lose it and all is lost. With android you can drag and drop anywhere and even sync to the cloud if you want.

Real APK leecher can be used for downloading from the play store for later install.

waveweaver good point about ipon storage but could it be due to the training from fruitco that "you are satisfied with whatever we give you" and that itunes manages the rest for them? I hav heard of users complaining they can't store enough songs on their idevices.

Thanks for the reply guys.  biggrin.gif
i see. so i just need to fully discharge it until left 1% and fully recharge again? This practice can ensure good battery life right?
*
For LiIons, don't let it fall below 5%, best to start recharging at 15%

Lower clock speed but higher performance = better efficiency = GG

thanks to the 4 x A15 cores. The other 4 little cores A7 are used for  power saving. Samsung did well in being first to try use this little.BIG tech from ARM. Unfortunately currently the implementation is not complete. The switching between A7 and A15 is done in a crude way. Its either all 4 running at A7 or all using A15. This technique similar to the little fifth core used in tegra 3. Although little.BIG actually can switch them independently depending on loads on each core. Imagine all 4 A15 running, power drain quickly. If you are heavy phone users, you may see the effect.

There are reasons why some XDA developers don't like tegra 3, and in this case the S4 implementation of little.BIG and Samsung lack of source code update, etc. Just don't dismiss it quickly without understanding it. Although I know lowyat forummer like to discuss casing and wallpaper more...

I, for one, like the discussion on hardcore CPU stuf.... please carry on rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

Some article I read conjectured that the kernel handles the core switching, it was yesterday. So we *could* end up having all cores firing but you may end up with 1h SOT whistling.gif laugh.gif

Does anyone have problems with the sensor? Was asking a Maxis staff abt the S4 and he said this batch has some kinda sensor problem.

Does anyone here know why my S4 LTE AP from HK does not have the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option in the network setting? And I can't use 4G with it. However, when I first put in the sim card and boot up the device it detected 4G for a while and then gone. And I try to go to the setting and found that the LTE/WCDMA/GSM is not available. I am currently using Maxis Postpaid. Used it with Note II LTE has no problem accessing 4G and it has the option.
*
Did you use a "cut" SIM instead of a replacement micro-SIM from Maxis? That's usually the case.

No AFAIK there is no way since it is billing tied to your phone no. That is how telco plans work.

That puts a damper on my plan on getting one. Well, suppose I have to procrastinate a little more. In any event, I am waiting for the LTE version. Hopefully, it would be better.

I infer that the LTE version, with a slightly slower CPU, may suffer the same issues, unless the drivers are better written since it is from a different supplier?
