Galaxy S4

[MRU]

Hey MRU....i thought you chose the One over the SG4? Did you end up keeping both phones? I see you posting in the One thread with some awesome pictures! 🙂

No ... I sold the S4, but I had already ordered the cases in the meantime, so now I have a fancy Verus Oneye case and no phone for it.... 🙂

I'm going to give it away to a member here..... I haven't decided who shall be beneficiary just yet 🙂

I was JUST about to ask about that case and your S4 status!

I absolutely LOVE that case.

I sell beer for a living. So if a trade is in order.. just sayin'!

Just picked up my S4 16gb! I was gonna get the 32gb, but I got a great deal on it, so I just said screw it.

Enjoy. What colour did you get? Grey (black) or White?

Got the "black" (basically dark grey) color. Don't like the white. Too common.

I'll post up more detailed impressions later, but here goes:

- screen is gorgeous. But I think we're at that point now, where they can't get better. 1080p is overkill
- prefer the more square shape of the S4 over the rounded Note 2/S3.
- Build quality has gone up. It feels like a more expensive device
- speaker has gotten much louder
- Camera is insanely loud

They didn't have an S-View cover in stock. Gotta pick that up soon.

Thinking of selling my Iphone 5...where did you sell yours?

I actually never sold the iPhone 5. It went to a family member, and I sold the 4S that I had given them previously. So they got a nice free upgrade.

The 4S I sold for €400 on a website similar to Craigslist.

Not sure how much I would get for my 32GB iphone 5...

For no hassle and stress free try these;

http://www.mazumamobile.com/sell_mobile_phone.php?action=view&prod=1960

I have used these before, money is in ones account the next day. That is the bottom price you would get IMHO.

A little more effort will get more for your phone though, although I dont like using them, e bay may get you more. 🙂

Is it worth restoring to factory settings?

That problem would drive me mad! 🙁

I copied and pasted this reply to the same problem from member Itiskonrad over on xda forums.

Look in your accessibility settings (my device> accessibility> services). If you have any services besides "talk back" listed (they don't have to be active, just listed) it will activate talk back for a few actions (like selecting items in the gallery), even if talk back is disabled. This is a notorious Samsung glitch. The only work arounds are to either uninstall apps that use accessibility or to freeze both Samsung and Google text-to-service apps (which will also disable other text to speech services, like vocal navigation directions when driving, etc). It blows, I know. I just avoid apps that use accessibility.

Indeed any solutions would be nice...

Has anyone here has gotten their hands on the GT-I9500?

I'm not sure which variant of the phone is sold here.

Anyone else not seeing badges on the Gmail app when you get new emails? I get a number badge on the regular mail app, but not on the Gmail app.

Where are you?

USA and UK have the 19505 quadcore.

 

[2298754]

So I spent all night rooting the phone and de-bloating it. No lag at all and I gained back a lot of space.

Yeah, you have to use the stock mail app to get the badge. The Gmail app doesn't have that feature.

Welp I installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, sadly I was one of the unlucky ones and Wifi no longer works. Hopefully a newer CM ROM will fix this.

Yeah it should be getting updated quite a bit to fix all the bugs they find

 

[Vegastouch]

That would be annoying. I only get that on my GS3 if i have it in driving mode.
