anyone here using S4

hi-capacity sun global batteries 3150mAh

or extended battery 6300mAh

any review on em or possible problem like explosion

nope. a fake on should cost you about rm30+
an ori s cover should cost you about rm150+

Im using 3rd party 3100mAh batt3ry by sunglobal.
Still use back ori cover.

But u will feel slightly heavier.

Performance wise is quite good. Shud last u through the whole day

Try to look for it at mudah.com or accessories shop.

Its actually more expensive than the 6000mAh extended battery (the one tat require the fat back cover).

Moreover the fat battery is frm unknown / less famous 3rd party manufacturers.
Sunglobal batteries seems to be better quality. Or atleast it looks better built.

I have both. But the 3100mAh shud be adaquate for medium usage.
I do plug it into a car charger OCASIONALLY when im driving, but on average it still last a full day till 10pm with bout 20-30% left.

Note: im actually using the lte version.

anyone hav problems with the gallery after updating??

mine... can load up the existing thumbnails.

I din clear off the cache for the thumbnails.

zzzzzzzzzz....... after few days usage. felt 4.2.2 is a a bit more STABLE than 4.3.

but of course 4.3 is more fluid and smoother.

but some apps crashes on 4.3 from time to time. while i did not experience any crashes on 4.2.2 b4.

more over... gallery freezed and lagged after update. and i have to back up and reformat my sdcard to solve the problem.

probably need to manually update some of the apps to solve the crashing problems.

if factory reset, means going back to 4.2.2 again lol..

then whats the point of upgrading to 4.3?

oooo... gonna do back up rite away.

and test it out after doing reset.

thx for the tip.

a bit more battery draining compare to 4.2.2 leh

anyone notice

lucky i have and extra 3150mAh battery as back up.

can notice significant 1% cycle draining within few minits while whatsapp...

feel like going back to 4.2.2 jor T_T

here's my update on the issues i'm having after 4.3 update.

apps random crashes - most crashes are SOLVED with manual updates / redownloading the apps, others persistent crashes could be solved with factory reset and redownloading the app

gallery lag and freeze - SOLVED by backing up the sd card, and doing a reformat on the sd card.

significant battery draining when using -

wifi connections showing unstable - tested the wifi problem a few times with different wifis at different location. and manage to reset my home modem a few times, and even adjusting the modem channel, to see whether its my modem problem or phone problem. seems like a phone problem to me. the wifi shows that its still connected, and running, and i might still b able to on9 with the connectivity. but notifications show "wifi is unstable" and prompt me to "auto connect to other available wifi". dint experience this problem b4 update.

conclusion: will go for a factory reset to see if it solves the other unsolved problems. but doesnt seems related with factory reset or not

not to say 4.3 is bad. or half cooked.

it seems note 3 users did not experience the problems

for me... 4.3 is actually smoother and more fluid compared to 4.2.2 in some areas.
or js a basic GUI example: notice a significant fluidity when opening and closing folders and apps.

so i would conclude that i see the potential speed up in a lot of areas.
but currently some of the laggyness in apps seems to be related to the compatibility of the old version apps in the new version firmware. which caused slow response when opening the apps / even crashing when opening.

would have to try more updated version of apps which is optimized for the current android to really conclude 4.3's performance.

ask your phone dealer to register for you.
provide him your full name, phone number, email, etc info

or you can do your ewarranty / product registration via www.samsung.com.my top right corner. you shud notice a PRODUCT REGISTRATION link. need to upload a photo of your receipt though...

patience bro...

few of us still testing 4.3.

not to say many problems la. but probably most of us expected a better upgrade.

but the expectation jus came short.

things will go better soon

samsung wont let their flagship die with a small OS update
