can we claim warranty if rooted ? no right ...still need to unroot and get rid of the red exclamation mark ...not sure for S4 , but S3 got red exclamation mark if not mistaken...pls correct me if im wrong ...
true enuf , some ppl dunno what is root... some buy phone and use it that way .... juz lazy to learn sometime...LOL..especially when u need to undo everything that part
I had an S3 which I rooted, never saw any red exclamation mark so not sure what you mean, but regardless the Samsung guys surely can check quickly if the phone is rooted or not.
I had to root it to fix a bug that Samsung didn't bother to fix...copy/paste stopped working and the only way to fix was to root the phone so you got access to the root-folders where the cache was, and clear the cache. Then copy/past started working again

Took about 20 minutes to learn how to root and actually do it. Then install some nice file browsers. I never installed a custom ROM, but I installed a file explorer that allowed me to remote access/stream files from my pc over wifi to my phone - so I could watch movies etc from the pc straight on my phone without copy files when I was home.
It also allowed to install a flash player, but it did not work for all content.
Now my S3 suffered sds and I am out of warranty so waiting to get the S4 LTE...
