you samsung addict?

You should also kept S, SII and SIII too...

Appreciate any help I can get ...

Was thinking of ditching my S4 for another phone as it was getting laggy, battery dies too fast and it keeps getting stuck for no reason.  Now thanks to this thread, found out that an update is available and I'll probably try the update first before wasting any money changing phones.

My problem is that I've not had any OTA update notification and I don't think I can wait any longer as my S4 is driving me mental.  I'm tempted to download and update the new firmware myself but am a total idiot when it comes this.  Hopefully, someone will help me with my queries:

1. Is updating via Odin or Kies considered flashing/rooting?
2. Any danger or is there anything I should know about first before doing this?
3. Will it blow up my phone?

Cheers guys and thanks in advance.

Thanks to all for the advice and tips.

I didn't backup my phone but instead resorted to praying a lot and thankfully everything went well. Used Odin by the way.

So far so good. Battery life also seemed to improve a bit based on my totally unreliable method of timing using my gut feel. Although I totally agree that I need to replace the battery since it's actually older than certain people.

Will observe and update.

support samsung la, their revenue not good.

You Samsung employee?

bought i9505 to replaced my aged Lenovo S920. performance and screen is leaps and bounds improvement. traded a smaller screen but much improved AMOLED of S4. superb!

2 years old s4 i9505 battery going crazy, original battery cheap or not?

forummer offer about rm100.

groupon cheaper but not sure if original.

anyone know how much does it cost to change i9506 screen??

Anyone with I9500 Black Edition... Have you guys received Lollipop update? Mine still stuck at 4.4 and i can see normal edition and i9505 already got 5.0.1 update.

You just trigger TOMEI-R pain 

Anyone knows what can I do to my sprint's  s4 that's very sensitive to the network. Only getting signals at good coverage area n the rest of the time there's no coverage. Takes some time to make a phone call too
