*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S4 Thread ***

Cheers mate. I'm contemplating whether to get one or try a flip case. I think I'm steered more towards the spigen though, it looks awesome!

No worries Dude. I'd definitely go with the Spigen, as it's not that bulky and you don't have to worry about moving the flip when using the phone for convenience side of things, plus the S4 is well protected. Thanks it's a good looking case and well worth the £14 that I paid for it :)

Prefer it to the silver one as it just looks like an oversized iphone with a silver bezel - already get asked enough 'oooh, is that the latest iphone?' - grrr lol

Device has been on order with EE since last saturday. CS rung me up today to say that it should be with me early next week (but they said that last weekend aswell!) - tis killing me this wait - I ain't even played with one yet!!

The way I see it - the longer it takes, the more likely I am to get from later batches which should have all the problems ironed out ;)

Oh yes, I was tempted by the silver one as well but then I saw this by accident and thought the slate colour complimented the black mist S4 really nicely :) Some people are just plain silly, not every phone has to be the iphone does it? lol :mad:

You gotta love EE's customer service surely they would know when the S4 will be in stock. Can't you pop into your local EE store and pick it up from there? that's what my friend did.

I can relate to the frustration but trust me it's worth it once you get your hands on the phone. I only got it the other day (yesterday) and aside from the misting problem on the settings / menu which is apparently down to software I haven't noticed anything else and the screen is uniform in colour and doesn't have the pink tint that some users have complained about, so I reckon you'll be ok when it finally arrives. Trust me you won't be disappointed as it looks even better in person than the pictures you've seen :cool:
 
nothing special - plugged it in, open via explorer.

I have Kies/drivers installed if that makes any difference (don't think it does)

This is a Samsung soft ware from what I have read on google it is a down load to a PC.
I will not be able to down this on a work PC.

My old HTC Desire S once connect to my PC the micro SD card loads as a drive in Windows Explorer. The S4 does not do this it opens a phone folder.
So I can not edit any excel or word file from the phone folder. The files opn as read only which is not helpful as I travel from one office to another.

Did you get it online for £14? If so, any chance of giving me a link in trust please? :P

I've got the ultra fit matt hard spigen case on at the moment and I'm finding it a bit too slippery for my liking, plus the back cover gets so dirty quickly and is a fingerprint magnet! :mad:
 
That's good news Elite. Will give it a little more time to mature then I'll be there. Always soon many updates early in the build.

Very true mate, I usually tend to wait a bit for a few releases but I got a bit impatient this time round with the S4 lol. The early signs are good ones though :cool:
 
Not flashing wanam or anything yet stoosh, waiting a little while until a good theme is available too.

Are you rooted yet mate?

Same here Dude, am going to wait until the Dev scene really starts to take off then I'll defo root. Like you said Wanam's ROM needs to mature a bit more and I want to see some stuff come out by Vertumus and JKay's deluxe settings in terms of themes.

It's a waiting game but we'll get there ;)

Am loving the S4 BTW. So glad i bought it :cool:
 
Is there anyway to adjust the default zoom in when you double tap the screen ??

As my S3 zooms in much more then my S4 does when I double tap on a webpage and I like to be able to set my S4 double tap zoom the same as my s3

On the S3 you have a default zoom setting which has 3 options you can choose from (Far / Medium / Close) I can't found or see this option on the S4..:(


Picture below of both my S3 & S4 zoomed in by double taping the screen to show what I mean...(S4 on left,S3 on the right)

I think it depends on what browser your using.

The stock browser seems to do a better job for me than chrome, but I don't think you can adjust it.
 
Happy with my N4 but just ordered one via o2 on the refresh to have a play on an upgrade to my old s2 plan which finally expired this month. Let's see how it compares.

Good to hear that you are getting on with the GS 4 stoosh and don't have any problems with the new one :cool: Maybe some day HTC will win you over for good! :p

Genuine question.

What are we missing out on. I've got ME2 whats Wanam going to give me

- A cleaner stock rom with the bloatware removed
- Better battery life compared to stock rom
- More free RAM
- Overall increase in performance (you probably wont notice much in real life usage, but for the sake of benchmarks and such)
 
I bought my S4 on this plan...

£375 for phone & £26 per month for 18months...
200minutes
Unlimited texts
Unlimited data (max 500mb per day fair-usage policy )
