deeply unhappy, just waiting for international non scalper 1+1 set, then i'm out.

What is awesome...that rom is themed rite..?? hows batt life??

now that my phone is rooted and i wanna try custom rom, can guide me with the steps?

1) install ODIN on pc.
2) download and install custom rom by using ODIN.

that's all right?

..

s5 because of its camera improved function such as focusing mode and smooth video recording and love all the additional so called "craps" stuff!.. thats all.. hehehe.. anyhow, still like sammy improvement compared to other sony, htc etc.. brand.. like old-time nokia.. haha

good for you then, i really hate my s4.

1) Flash custom recovery (Philz, etc)
2) Download ROM and place in SD card
3) Flash ROM from recovery

I've always liked the S series camera. Really like the S5 real-time HDR function. I find the S5 camera better than Note 3.

What you dislike?

camera performance is my main dislike.

little bit here and there.

latest thing that make me frustrated is, now I keep receive the notification saying that my wifi is unstable, when another s4 is working fine in the same wifi connection.

overall, s4 suxs and full of bugs.

What problem you facing with Camera Performance? Sure every phone will have here and there no meeting expectation.. like that no phone is good for you... wifi connection unstable... hmm... so far so good for me...

I think he need new godphone ipong, then all his problem resolved. BTW, I switch back to Samsung from i5s after 1 week of usage.

well, plenty of i9505 users complained about the camera before, old issue la. anyway as for wifi, my s4 is the one that keep notifying me that the wifi connection is unstable, you can try google it, common issue as well.

i don't want iphone, i just want android.

Thats not correct.

Use ODIN to flash Official firmware and to inject (flash) Custom Recovery (CWM//TWRP)
Once you've flashed custom recovery, flash Custom rom from there.

I recommend you to get the latest Philz CWM Recovery

About the camera issues, well its common, i've used HTC/Samsung/LG/Nokia/Sony, all have their pro's and con's.
I am like you, i am concerned of every details within a phone.

About the wifi issue, i can say it is modem related. Flash the latest XME (Malaysia) modem for i9505, im not sure now it is NB2 or what. Can check from Samsung Firmware sites. I can make a flashable modem for you, i just need the modem.bin file

*#0011# press menu, Wifi, turn off Wifi power saving.

ok thanks, will try later when have wifi.

As everyone else said:
1. Install custom recovery. Im using TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265588.
2. Place ROM file(normally a .zip) into the default phone memory folder (SD card not external storage).
3. Reboot to recovery, choose to flash ROM then ur done (PS: read instructions on the ROM page on how to proceed with this step and what to wipe. Failure to do so might result in bootloop/soft brick).

The only thing that currently keeps me frustrated is the wifi doesnt automatically connect to those connections that require login (eg: starbucks). I need to keep manually press to connect to those lines.

i9505 camera as far as I know uses a different camera sensor compared to i9500.

wifi connection is unstable, I get that as soon as the line becomes really terrible.

I have seen that before. I just disabled it. Will try next time then if it works then might recommend mod to add it to the front page if its not there.

tried to search using the Search Topic but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.

this problem started yesterday..using Samsung S4, all of a sudden the phone just keeps rebooting & gets stuck in a loop of rebooting. I googled this problem and it says it's a problem with an early batch of this model and it's a fault of the battery.

but the thing is..I'm using a 3rd party battery (Sun Global). I tried taking out the battery last night and putting in the ori battery I got and left it charging overnight..woke up today, used the phone normally for 30mins or so and the same thing happened again.

someone posted a comment saying that if you leave it with a portable charger or something, it doesn't happen..from what I can see, that's quite true..but if I try to plug it in after the problem occurs, it shows that the phone battery bar is empty ..

idk what to do as I really need to use my phone for the next 3 days as I'm going out later and need to make calls & use GPS and stuff.

Someone told you before...

I am about to said that... now for I9505 is NBE..

what is NBE?
