I think the problem is many people were misinformed by htc about the One being a unibody design. As time passed then only many found out it wasnt really a unibody phone lol
*
quality control in htc sucks...its most important ,other than specifications of it...high tech corp ? Lol..luckily I get S4..

There are devices from many sources that doesn't comes with warranty.

For an example, some from overrun production lines does not come with warranty.
*
there is no such thing in this world.. i assume the example like crocs shoe ? they selling replica crocs shoe at cheap price , and tell u about overrun production ? its kind of bs..LOL

I'm trying to find a cheap source, since I live in a country where people are willing to buy the Octa cores at a higher price than the i9505. Why not make a quick buck from it.
*
no ppl actually bother about octa core or real quadcore... ppl are buying the brand only ... and latest product frm samsung ... octa core or not...it doesnt really matter...

dont live in a dream..wake up man ... higher price or not , its up to the market

From your statement I take it that you have not been overseas before. I am not belitttling you here but when you make such a statement especially when you are abrasive, you must make sure you are correct on all counts.
*
there are in oversea, but its hard to get it here... and thats why there come scam case... im juz be realistic only... i believe in refurbished product , but not really in overrun production items...

Sorry; i just had to ask.
How's the camera picture quality as compared to iphone 5?
Still deciding which to get
*
u wont consider iPhone 5 , when u decide to buy Samsung S4...

4" LCD and 5"LCD ...

its big difference already...

those who want to buy iPhone5 , never think about S4.....

picture quality wont affect ur decision to buy S4....

low light photo is a bit bad, got a lot noisy...u can google around for that... but for normal photo taking , its alright ...

FYI.

Apps such as games can't be move to SD card.

1 game may take up around 1gb.
*
LOL....are u going to install 4-5 big games inside ur S4 and play in the same time ? i used to be install 10-20 big games (1gb+) in my iPad2 32gb and end up i never play at all some of it ..

delete the games whenever u dont need ... housekeeping is important smile.gif

Definitely!

S4 16GB Non-LTE = 2199
S4 32GB LTE = 2499 (not sure if its offical)
HTC One 32GB = 2299

In terms of price, I guess HTC One is doing very well. But you lose removable battery and MicroSD card slot.

edited again

But you can't put games onto SD card anyway. Only those who likes to save files/photos is a big advantage for them.

i charge my phone 2-3times daily , 3g on most of the time... so , removable battery is important for ppl like me...LOL

Rooting doesn't change anything in your phone. It just unlocks some settings so you can be free to use your phone as you like. You can just root and carry on with your stock firmware. You gain various other unlockable powers though.

If you don't root, then you are limited.

Rooting does not mean changing a ROM and all that. You don't need to. I was on plain rooted stock for many months before changing ROMs again.
*
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 ...

QUOTE(noookiller @ Jun 4 2013, 02:17 PM)
Maybe because I dont know anything yet about rooting,might aswell learn basic thing first.
All these root stuffs I read on articles,which some against it due to warranty void. Plus most of my friends that having S4 Non-LTE have no idea what is root.
*
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

Fair enough. For the warranty void part, there is a secret counter that detects whenever you flash something on your phone, counter can only be seen by Samsung service center. But chainfire on xda is working on something

oh..i tot the triangle away can remove it ? not yet for S4 ? i guess i better stay unroot for the moment... duwan end up bang table like wat happened for my HTC One V....bad experience

In this corporate world and today society, not many have the time to learn how to root.
I believe only 1 out of 10 are rooted phones.

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 smile.gif
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...
*
sds after warranty finished ? thats suck .... hope my S3 doesnt have such issue ...else , i wont get normal SME unit , rather get frm senheng for the 2yrs warranty

digi smartplan 88 2yrs contract should be RM1.7k as well
