hey guyz, im back again with the same problem unresolved as last time on my s4 lte. wondering if any of you guyz had the same problem though

my chrome app always flickering black and white after i opened some tabs and it stays like that until i delete all the tabs.

i was hoping that the new MKE update will fix it but to my dismay it hadn't. Already reset it a few time though, still the problem exist. Anyone got a clue whether this is hardware problem? izzit different if you reset the phone from within the setting or flash using kies? i though both ways reset the /data or app data?

Chrome app . Issue only started after chrome update few months back. Updates in play store Damn slow. So hopefully next chrome update is soon.

Keep S4.. n dun go for S5...
is no-point n nonetheless...
always put some heavy apps on their phone.. that's why i jump to Xperia Z[for this moment]→Nexus 5[get it,unlock BL, Root]

Going z1. Love the 20mp cam!
S4 cam sucks bad. So hard to focus to correct spot. And keep refocusing by itself. What is the point high MP but can't even focus properly? I already off my low light mode...

I also don't use those features, turned them all off.

But to have more features which can be turned off is better than no features at all...
*
Normally that is true.
But this not the case for s4. Sammy advertised heavily on these features as they are the features used to differentiate s3 and s4. I find using it causes even more complication, hence feel cheated. Now seems like. Upgrade just Bcoz of screen and lte. Even the available storage space is suckier than s3.
Design wise I still prefer the s3 rounded curvy corners.
Rooting the phone, which was the reason so many jumped to Sammy, is also ridiculously difficult now thanks to knox.
Sammy is losing its fan base real quick.

did anyone here still facing slow loading on camera?
its takes about 4 seconds to open the camera on my s4.....
*
Mine is after press the shuttle button, still need a few secs to take the photo. Causing photo to always blur when taking moving objects. I already disabled the auto low light mode.
Given up, so basic camera feature also Sammy screw up and no fix in sight. Now I use my tablet take photo.

Blur it is because there's not enough light and your phone is using lowest ISO possible therefore making the shutter speed slower. Therefore blur.

Tweak the settings, it can be a good camera.
*
Yes I know. But already turn off auto light adjustment. It should stay the focus that I pressed on the screen b4 press shuttle. It should not refocus every time I press shuttle. What is the point I focus nice nice first before press shuttle? My s3 don't act weird like this.
Anyway to turn off the auto refocus? Or auto iso adjustment? As I said, I already turn off auto light adjustment.

Note: shuttle button is the virtual button on the screen u press to take photo.

*shutter

Its not about the settings. Your hand is either shaky or you moved the camera (phone) when the shutter is still open.

Your S3's sensor happens to be able to take in more light therefore it can live with a faster shutter speed. Go read up sensor size and megapixels.

Same sensor size: More megapixel = worse low light performance
*
Ok then. I can concur s3 sensor is better than s4 even when s4 has more megapixel. Every time my photo blur, I swap to s3 take same photo, no issue. I can can do that Bcoz I passed on the s3 to my wife and it is always with us.
So the fruit is correct, it's the sensor and capability to let in light that counts, not the high MP.

Guys, can suggest me casing that can cover every corner of this phone? Otterbox is too bulky. And flap casing, trouble some. I prefer back protector or something like back and front protector but not too bulky. Just want to protect from scratch when fall.
*
U want all those and slim design, for spigen neo hybrid. If want thicker protection go for spigen armor. Go spigen. Com to check out the pics.
Make sure u get ori I used 1 year never regret as ori material is so nice to hold. Ori with promo As cheap as rm50 each in lowyat ground floor called "hotspot", just behind samsung store.

Problem is that their existing customers are the ones that will upgrade to their new crazily priced phones. If Samsung dont know how to take care of them, Im sure their customers will start looking elsewhere.
*
Aiiii initially I chose sammie over LG, Sony, htc is Bcoz heard their updates Damn fast. No more sammie for me.
If u check news, now they Damn bz preparing s5 launch and fingerprint scan.
Real copy cat .

if s4 also delay in receiving updates, the older models all can slowly cry.

Errr s4 already considered old model, especially in 3 weeks time.
http://www.lowyat.net/2014/02/samsung-gala...in-three-weeks/

Another reason why this would be my last Sammy phone. Their product life cycle is is too fast but updates too slow. Not even 1 year already new flagship.

To be frank, I never think that Samsung phones deserves the price they command. Especially the launch price. The phone design never changes. Its the same thing over and over again. Only betters specs and better screen etc. So the idea is to never buy when it newly launches.
*
Have to agree with u on that, especially since they are using cheap plastic for the external case.
When they use metal in s5,i wonder how much they will increase the price?
