I usually does that when I feel like getting a new phone, I would stalk many forums for review, opinions, issues and also some monkey comments to laugh at. I survey for about 2 months b4 getting my s4 LTE biggrin.gif

btw does anyone know what is the other way to screenshot phone without pressing the home and power button?
bcos I did b4 a few times by accident but kinda forgot how. lol

not enough space
just go root it problem solve, OTA update's "move to SD" is rubbish and does not actually move the whole app. The first day I got my phone I already started to root it as not rooting your phone makes it close to useless.

heat issues
this problem occurs on both S4 versions no helping it, I have this problem too when playing NFSMW. Just try to turn off features that you dont use often.


I notice the screenshot feature you need to swipe the ide of your hand to snap the screen and does not work when you swipe with your palm dang !.

i dont know why no matter how i swipe there is 90% chance to fail to screencap

so i only used the homebutton + power button  shakehead.gif

sry typo in last post ... you have to swipe with the side of your hand not the palm of your hand ... I can screenshot 100% of the time using this method biggrin.gif

i got 2games , both >1gb ... hardly play unless super boring.. 16gb sd card, loaded with 10gb "movie"  brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif

installed most of the popular apps in playstore, and yet i still have 5gb left in phone and 5gb in sd card....

i dunno what apps available for android os , but iOS do have a LOT of apps to install...not much games optimised for android OS quadcore as well

heat issue ? my iPad2 warm than S4 2-3x....phone so small , of course easily warm la...thats common and normal... go buy nokia 1100 , not warm at all
*
I am not complaining but rather telling those who complain about those issues how to solve them pal smile.gif

btw I dont know what games you play but my internal 32gb about 25gb is games so totally not enough futhermore I have an external 64gb and its closing to full with 1/3 of them being games smile.gif

oh and never had an ipad (don't like fruit brand) so I dont know about the heat part but s4 really heats up quite fast compare to my galaxy tab and my bro's HTC One

Yes need to point out again. Those flip cases who doesn't protect 4 corners, are not protective casings.

you just have to be extra careful, I am using S view flip cover and had no problems what-so-ever smile.gif
casing like the otterbox IMHO makes the s4 looks like walkie talkie.

Well, it was only 3 meter high from the bed to the floor so I have no idea how it could just crack so easily.

You don't see the physical cracks but when you turn the screen on, the side has haywire. And the screen is all with colour and you can't even use it and the touch screen will not work!

Very sad, have to replace for the screen....
*
3 meters ?? shocking.gif
that sure is one tall bed and your damage .... just go with the majority here who uses those casing that gives you maximum protection when cases like this happens, but then your phone will be a brick
sorry you have to spend $$ to repair it, i feel you pal.

have never felt the lag before on my s4 be it a tab or multiple tabs for chrome
either you open simultaneous too many apps or some where something is wrong.

Nope, I didn't even try on it before coz I know performance will decrease drastically

I did and found no decrease in performance only the backlight of screen not so bright

That's so wrong. I bought it for lte, bigger screen, and full HD. I don't care about the gestures but it's a bonus.

QUOTE(azuradaniel @ Jul 2 2013, 12:56 PM)
I also bought S4 coz Full HD & want to try android, no need jailbreak headache.

I bought the s4 simply because Android OS is "open" not like fruit products and also for the gestures features blush.gif
