Some of the launchers that I have used :

Nova Launcher
SPB Shell 3D
Go Launcher


I'm using SPB Shell 3D now

I have purchased Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid. Looks simple and nice.

I'm also considering getting the SGP Armor View. Curious to try out the View function.

New Black S4 LTE user reporting in.

My baseband version is I9505 DXUBMF8. Is this the latest?



In my Access Point Names (APN) list there is only Maxis 3G Internet APN. Is this correct? How come no 4G Internet APN?
I do have the 4G symbol on top of my notification bar though.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate that.

So, did you do the factory reset? Any difference?

If you like to customise homescreen, you should check out Desktop Visualizer app from PLayStore

If possible, try not to do that.

Just a layman thinking......imagine you are passing 240v electricity current to charge your phone and the other end is a cable straight into your ears....

I'm using SGP Slim Armor case with Glas tR Slim glass screen protector. Overall, it feels great but does make the S4 a bit heavier but solid feel.

Don't buy SanDisk Class 10. I bought 1 for my previous S3 and the card was faulty / undetected after a few weeks. Reverted back to SanDisk Class 4.

I would like to get a 64Gb Class 10 for my new S4 but don't know which brand to get. I don't dare to try SanDisk Class 10 again.

Thanks for the advice. Where to find Samsung Micro SD card?

Your SanDisk is Class 10?

Hi, my I9505 S4 just received an update last night.

So Malaysia latest stock rom for I9505 is DXUBMG5.

I also updated my S4 LTE last night. No changes to notification bar?

You might have to factory reset liao...

You are right. After I restart my phone, the notification bar also becomes invisible.

Just to share my experience.

I bought an original SGP Neo Hybrid and a fake Neo Hybrid before for my previous S3.

The quality is different. The fake TPU is harder, the colour slightly faded and the plastic doesn't fit properly as well as the original. The volume and power button are also not as well done as the original.
In the end, I didn't use the fake one because it makes my S3 looks cheap.
Learnt a lesson not to buy fake ones anymore.

For my current S4, I bought originals SGP Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. Using Slim Armor now with Glas tR screen protector. Nice

Hi all,

Have any of you spent some time to explore the S4 camera? Which is the best Auto mode setting to use to get clear photos?

Eg,
a) 13Mp(4:3) or 9.6Mp(16:9) setting?
b) Centre weighted or Matrix metering?
c) Anti shake On or Off?
d) Auto night mode On or Off?
e) etc

I'm still exploring which is the best mode and setting to get good pictures both indoor and outdoor condition....stress

Thanks for any advice.

Do you all peel off the protective film behind the camera lens? I wonder if it affects the photo quality?
I left it there from day 1 to prevent scratches to the camera lens...heehee

Just bought a Samsung Micro SD Card Class 10 64Gb for my S4

If buy online, around RM250. Buy from shop in Mid valley around RM280. You might get it cheaper at Lowyat or Digital Mall.

Tried out this Samsung Micro SD card class 10 64Gb last night.
The speed is much better than my old SanDisk Class 4 32Gb.

Worth the money

Just for comparison, Sandisk 64Gb Class 10 speed up to 30Mb/s.
Samsung 64Gb Class 10 speed up to 70Mb/s.

But some will say numbers are just numbers... Haha
Day to day usage not much difference. .

Anyway, the point is that it is worth upgrading from Class 4 to Class 10. Can see the difference

I might be wrong but I read that there are different types of microSD for Samsung.
Standard series are the cheapest, follow up Plus series.
The Pro Series is the most expensive.
