I had problems with Sandisk Class 10 32Gb before. Occasionally unmounted on its own. Later the card totally cannot be detected on phone and PC. Cannot reformat also.

I have given up on Sandisk. Now I'm using Samsung Class 10. So far so good

I'm trying to save the Kingston at the moment..or else it'll be pointless to have 2 memory cards (SanDisk and Kingston) sitting at home not doing anything just because the SGS4 decides not work along these 2 brands

I'm really starting to be suspicious with the phone (and maybe manufacturer) on regards of the memory card issues..

Hi all s4 sifu, before i buy s4, mind me to ask some questions?
1. is there any problem ? like GPS lock issue, connectivity, lag/hang, easily heat up, etc...
2. the s4 LTE version, the quad core version, enough for a heavy user? because i prefer to have 4G ready and i am a heavy user.
3. should i buy it now, or wait until note 3 out? because i assume s4 price will drop abit hahaha, just want to save money happy.gif"

Thanks in advance for any idea/good advice.  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

1. Did not own the phone yet, so cannot answer.
2. If this S4 LTE still not enuf for heavy user...I don't know what phone still can cater for heavy user for now.
3. If you really want to save money, wait till Note 3 launch prob in September, price should drop. Then when Note 3 arrive at October or November, S4 price will drop even more......oh wait....when S5 come out next year, it will drop even even more, hahaha..

Honestly tho, I'm also waiting to buy but looking at price dropping fast and Note 3 gonna be launch next month (probably), I will wait to see how Note 3 design and specs looks like first. Then again, Note 3 is definitely going to be way more expensive, so not going to save money. So I suggest go for S4 if want to save money, no point waiting, coz price is not gonna stop dropping, never ending wait and postponement...unless you're considering Note 3 for its size (Just compared my S2 with S4 side by side, enhance size, yes but somehow.....only IMO, only slight increase in readability for me, getting old, so maybe have to wait for Note 3 to see if its gonna be too big due to prob size increase.)

I send in my phone twice, but they just know upgrade firmware, OS and factory reset...very frustrated.

It's a sad fact that consumers in countries without strong consumer laws are denied 1-to-1 exchange even for defects arising within days of purchase. In Western countries you could just go back to the shop and exchange a new set. This is why I prefer to buy from online sites which allow returns like lazada.com.my. Their price is not the cheapest but the bit extra is worth paying as insurance.

Thank you notworthy.gif . i agree on ur point of view. Price keep dropping always for samsung, and if i buy now and the price drop after that, i feel heart pain LOL, abit not worth to buy at that point, something like that. But yeah, keep waiting forever for the cheaper price means newer and better phones are out... i think i will just get this soon, my current phone is lagging like hell...

it is not S4 problem.. it is Sandisk problem.. Sandisk itself acknowledged they produce some 32gb and 64gb problem memory card.. sos below:

SanDisk says it produced some bad 32GB and 64GB microSD cards

if you appear to have problem with sandisk card, faster go exchange to new card..

You mean there are neo selling below RM100. There are lots of fake out there claiming to be original and all the trusted sellers sold original above RM100. Where's the place for the lower price original?

Don't know abt your father's taste but S4 zoom is supposedly based on lower end 4.3" S4 mini, not S4 itself. Its like a camera pasted onto a handphone, quite thick/fat/chubby, cumbersome to carry and may make the user looks a bit like an idiot sticking a camera lookalike on his/her ear.

Definitely not a good choice for an everyday phone but then again, its up to ones taste if he wants to carry a zoom camera all day round despite its weight and awkward bulkiness for a phone.

New update for s4 active improves the score a bit. Now it scores higher than the s4 lte.
