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

Currently using latest ProBam ROM. Been using it for a while and liked it, but now I seem to be suffering from random reboots, notifications not working as they should and dropped calls. Might switch to another ROM. Any one have any ideas as to which?

I am using Goldeneye v11 with the old bootloader which I am quite liking. I have had one reboot mind you.
 
So much better than my iPhone 5. I get full days out of it, still alive now after taken it off charge at 7:45am this morning. A lot of use too.

im getting near identical to my iphone 4s . main thing i do is sit reading the web whereby i guess the bigger screen cancels out the bigger battery pretty evenly

FoxHound 3.2 based on MH8 (I think) is supposed to be out any day. I'm using Omega 13.2 and it works fine but a few niggles happen every now and then.

FH was one of the first ROMs I flashed so may go back to this. Don't mind waiting a few days for a new version to surface. Thanks!

This sounds promising :) I find my iPhone 5 battery to be pretty good too. Best thing about the phone to be honest. S4 now being delivered tomorrow, so better get that sim adapter. S4 bought for £380 and iPhone sold for £250 so only £130 out of pocket for switching.

Installed FH latest as ProBam was getting worse. Did it to the letter, installing MJ5 modem after flashing. Getting signal problems now :(

Stock rom ftw ;-)

Life is too short to try to enhance a already fast phone... You can replace launcher, surely that's all you need. If it works don't fix it

I received an update from vodafone in the week and it has ruined my S4, it's now really laggy (minor freezes all the time) and the s health app thing built in doesn't work and is eating my battery. Anyone else's like this?
 
Is it Google Services that is eating the battery??

If it is I followed Terrier's info from the Nexus 5 thread and its fixed it.

If its not then ignore the above :)

Btw, thanks Terrier for that, its helped!!
 
Thanks, don't really want to send the whole phone back as it is just the battery. I have emailed Samsung Support for help as telephone support today was buy a new battery :(

Speak to Amazon. They will probably change the whole phone out free of charge. That may no be so convenient for you though.

Nope.

Think it is stopping the phone going into sleep.
