One random question, friend got an S3 a few weeks back, and I nticed when its charging there's abig blue light on the top that flashes on & off, is there one on the S4 and can it be turned off if so? If I do end up getting an S4 and it flashes all night while charging, she won't be happy as she notices things like that!!

S4 ordered! White as my S2 was black. Any idea what price an S2 in decent condition goes for these days?

Erm... you do realise that SkyGo doesn't work on rooted devices right?

Thats why I asked

as when I routed my nexus 7 it didn't work thats why I reverted to stock.

So looks like stock it is then for now

Yep. It's a lot less intrusive at night compared to the S3 one, which I had to turn off. I think it flashes if you have a notification on the S3, not noticed it doing it on the S4.

How is the back of the case? I am looking for something that isnt too slippery (ie, can rest on edge of sofa, or on knee without sliding off too easily). The one I have for my iphone is rubbery and slick to surfaces.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but someone on XDA forum told me it is rubbery

mattyg · 11 May 2013 at 18:14

Get a 64gb sandisk class 10 from the rainforest.

I'm having some issues with my S4.

The stock clock isn't working and I can't change my SMS notifications as android.process.media has stopped

I may be rooting sooner than expected
