[Discussion]What specs or features the SGS4 Should've had?

With all the hate/love thread out there about the S4, nobody came up with real alternative about what the S4 could or should have been. I would like to know what REALISTIC spec or features the S4 could have.It would be nice to hear about realistic inovation. Are there other set of CPUs or new wifi technology or some cool obscur apps that could have been integrated here. It's time for all of you scifi fan and creative tecky to step up.(and PLEASE don't talk about the plastic as this have been covered all over).

Interesting! Do you have a Note? Are you using the S-pen a lot? Coz I will get a Note2 soon and I was wondering if it was really useful.

That's for 'Note' line. I don't think Samsung would degrade the "value proposition" of Note by including S-Pen in Galaxy S-series.
Also, it's a good business decision because it allows Samsung to have 2 distinct flagships in a year.

Dual sim

I am using Note2. The Spen is very useful if you do a lot of note taking.
Edit: I used to forget bringing pen with me. So spen solve my problem because there is no way I forget to bring my phone with me

The S4 is Dual-sim (need to buy a Asian version)

It'd be cool if the home button was a fingerprint scanner, or had the ability to scroll, it would be useful while typing to move the cursor

An updated design?

IMHO, the curved design of galaxy s4 is better than the sharp angular design of HTC one. It feels slightly uncomfortable in the hand thanks to the sharp edges. The plastic could be replaced with carbon fibre or less glossy plastic, though.

I asked this exact same question of a few mates of mine who were "Underwhelmed" with the stats the S4 presented....
I then asked them.... so with the CURRENT technology that is out.... what else would you have liked to have seen in this wonderful device.... and you know what they came up with??? sweet FA... because as it currently stands, the S4 has the most advanced technology out, bar a few minor differences between HTC One and Sony Xperia Z which have a few alternative features on theirs....
I think too many people have looked at the S4 then compared the LOOKS of it to the S3 and have gone.... nah, not interested.... but does the aesthetics of a phone really take away from its overall hardware on the inside? As many people have pointed out, smart people put CASES on their phones anyways.... so the looks of the phone really dont matter too much, as long as the screen is vibrant, 90% of people would probably struggle to tell what kind of phone you have anyways, with the cases attached to them all...
So to answer your question, the only thing i would have wanted to see on the S4 which it didnt have, is litterally nothing... i cant think of anything that any other device has, that the S4 should have, except maybe the waterproof function of the Sony Xperia Z... but i have had my original S2 for almost 2 years now, not a single issue or fault with it, where many of my friends have had issues with water etc, so this function wouldn't even be for me, rather to see them struggle less when it comes to damaging their phones lol

Strange that nobody mentioned the flexible glass. But how is it going to work? The glass is flexible but the case and chips inside the phone are not. So what... they will just make a curved phone? Is it really practicle?

1) Is cumbersome to carry c-pen with you. Heck, I can't even remember to carry a pen with me
2) the tip is sharp on s-pen. So you see clearly what you're writing.
Flexible glass is pointless if the case and chip are not flexible. Wait until they invented flexible case and chip first.

Yeah the C-Pen is a poor man's S Pen. Also it's still not confirmed if it works with the S4 or not

At work we're not allowed to have phone so the pen is just to pretend I'm working.
On a more serious note;
I would see a phone with a removable wifi scren so you can remove the flexible screen and wrap it around your wrist. The rest of the phone is in your pocket.

Notice how this thread is only 2 pages long, compared to the other troll/bait S4/HTC ONE threads all over the place. Majority of those complaining about the S4 being a S3+ seem to stumble when they are asked what they would of liked the S4 to come with, based on technology currently available to us. I'm sure a bunch of people are going to say the way it looks. Is that it........the look stops it from being an upgrade.....meh

I think Samsung would say that eye-scrolling is even better. I'm very anxious to see how it actually perform in the real world. I already use and love the Smart-stay/ S-voice activated camera/S-voice on music player (via bluetooth) and S-voice answer the phone.

[APP] Weather Station

After putting an ambient temperature/humidity sensor in the Galaxy S4, Samsung has decided to put one into the Note 3 as well. I wonder how this app I developed functions on the Note 3 compared to the S4, especially with the faux leather cover and larger screen, etc:

I don't think so. People like to know the weather so why not get the weather exactly where the phone is? It's also useful for hiking, etc. The challenges are compensating for the internal heat produced by the phone.

that's nice1

loved this on my s4 great to see it is coming to my note 3 too!!!

Temp sensors on the phone itself Is cool because one, it’s more accurate than using a general location by setting it with a city and state and two you don’t have to leave your location / gps on as some people do with their weather apps.

Actually, I think the barometer is the best new sensor. The temperature one will be useless if you keep the phone in a pocket, but the barometer will be cool especially while flying as it would not be too difficult to turn it into a altimeter. (It would have to be manually calibrated to take cabin pressure into account, but that is usually a fixed ratio, like 6:1 or 8:1).

GN2 has a barometer already

Actually, you can, but not directly through the built-in sensors. However google for tellstick / Telldus Live, buy a couple of wireless switches and sensors and use the app Remotestick (plus a number of smart Tasker-rules) to control almost anything at home that can be controlled by wall outlets...
My home is almost completely remote controlled by my phone

I just loved your app on my s4, really one of my favs. So thank you!
Of course I put it on my new N3, and it's working perfectly. However they must have a different calibration, as the humidity can be out by up to 8% across devices. The temp is fine, or i should say within tolerable limits of measurement difference.

Does this app need root?
Another question I have:
Did someone measure how accurate the readings given by the N3 (or S4) are, compared to a real Thermometer or Hygrometer?
Thanks.

i personally prefer a battery that last for 4 - 5 days...

I miss just looking down and seeing info like on my previous smartwatches. I brought this up with another Dev to make a watchface that was always on, but had really skinny/small fonts on a black background for just critical info that leveraged the AMOLED tech, but it seemed this Dev had too many challenges getting even a full day out of the watchface. He didn't follow my full suggestion, though - so I wasn't surprised.

Going from a Pebble to a Gear 2, I thought losing the always on display of the pebble was a serious negative, but the Gear 2 makes up for it completely with the wrist movement detection. The display is on as soon as I want it. :good:

False. The Gear 2 motion detection is flaky and has a frustrating moment of lag that sometimes has me guessing whether it's going to show me the display or not. It is certainly NOT immediate and one of my main complaints when I came from Pebble. As it currently is, it's simply ok - but you do get used to it, I guess. Essentially we gave up a bit of usability for a prettier screen.

Anybody waiting for this over the Note 4?

Hey all
I for one will be waiting for this over the Note 4 (when it finally arrives in the UK) The curved screen technology really appeals, the slightly reduced battery capacity really does not bother me that much, for me its a small price for such an intriguing new feature. As the rest of the specs are pretty much identical to the Note 4, its down to who feels this new design is worthy of the wait.
Who's in? and how do other members feel about the extra screen real estate?:good:

I think I'm in your camp too. The only thing is, I have read some obscure articles claiming that this might not actually come to market for some time due to production issues and the curved glass. My contract renews in November, so hopefully we'll hear some more news before then.

My contact is up in October, but will move over to a SIM only contract until available. I can live with my faithful note 3 a little longer:highfive:

Yep waiting on this one.... The note 4 is too close to my note 3 to be interested in it.

Waiting ... :highfive:

I'm on Verizon, living in the Greater Manchester Metroplex (actually, a little rural town but it sounds good). The odds of our corporate store having the Edge - even ONE - are dismal. So I'm going to have to order it online at 12:00:01 AM the day of release... or pre-order, whichever comes first.
I'm really hoping I can get the Edge, although one part of me is hesitant: the MODDER part of me.
How much development will there be for the Edge? Will there be sufficient quantities of stock to satisfy the demand on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon? Or will each U.S. carrier have maybe 50 of these things? Will developers even bother with it? Or will there be enough of a supply that developers will embrace it, root it, bootstrap it and create custom ROMs?
That is my question...

I'm waiting on this as well. At first, when I saw the details on the Note 4 when Samsung had their introduction, I was relieved because I knew I would save money since there was really nothing(in my opinion) worth upgrading from a Note 3 for.
But once I saw the info on the Note Edge, I was excited because I knew that I wanted to get it(and slightly disappointed because I thought I would be saving money on a phone upgrade this year.).
From what I've seen on the net, the Note 4 should launch in the United States sometime in October. Hopefully this means the Note Edge will launch in November.
The thing I really like about the Edge is that it will be very useful in multitasking since the access to app shortcuts will be on the Edge display. This will really increase productivity in my opnion. Even with the smaller sized battery, it should be fine since we can use the Edge display to check on notifications, etc. without waking the main screen.

I am still on my good 'ol Note 2. I wanted to original upgrade to the Note 4 until I saw the Note edge. Just wish they would give out some info

I have a GFlex now and impatiently waiting for the Edge!!!!

If the Note Edge is <$1000, I will definitely get it regardless of custom Roms, support, or reduced battery issue, simply because I want to do my part as to motivate Samsung in trying something new to smartphone world. Samsung took pioneer steps that no one else has taken for the good of the whole, instead of most company out there who only goes after their profit.
Only 1 question I still have regarding the Edge, and this is after watching all videos, articles of it. If we can turn on the curve screen for notification and such without turn on the main screen, then how do we plan to do so? I mean, should I press the power button? or a home button? Or whatever button? Wouldn't pressing those physical buttons turn on the main screen as well? Please someone tell me...

Yea I think that the edge would be a swipe like the note 3.
if i reach for my phone the screen lights up and tells me the time and miss calls, email etc...
so I can seen samsung making a setting for picking which screen to be active for swipe.
also I believe the power button would be map for the full screen on. And they will probably have swipe over just for the side screen. It means sense to me but let's see of they do it.

I'm thinking of getting the Note 4 when it drops since the Edge doesn't look like it'll be for sale until early next year. I'm on T-Mobile so technically I could "JUMP" after 6 months (April). Whatever phone I get, strong development support is a huge factor.

I was at the UK Samsung Experience. store at Stratford and was told the Edge is not coming to the UK as an official device release.

i'm waiting for Edge. I think if Australia release is 5th Nov, US would be before that. All carriers still have this as "coming soon". I wish Samsung was as aggressive as Apple in marketing and releases.

Just heard this will be a very limited release. Not for the UK or US.

Will there be a Note Edge "Led" Flip cover??

they ain't the same thing. led cover is always on as long as there are unattended notifications yet the edge screen is on only when the notification is triggered.
Plus, the edge screen is only readable from a limited angle and distance due to its size and position located on the device yet the led cover is more practical as long as it is faced up due to the icon and text size used on it for notifications.
anyways I would like to see such accessories for the most expensive samsung mobile phone ever released.

I totally know they aren't the same thing, but unless you even have the case at the right angle you wont be able to tell either... I feel like it would be redundant to have this, along with the edge, and the led notifications themselves. To much of nothing going on. Hey to each his own I guess. I dont see them making it for our phone, but who knows. Maybe someone else has the information to help you.

that is neat !

Considering the Edge is now the flagship of samsung considering the hw and the price any (subjectively) cool and compatible accessories should (preferably initially) released to the Edge, imo.
As for the "redundant notifications" statements; well then those who think in such way should never buy a smart watch neither coz their purpose is mainly replicating notifications to wrist.
I use the edge paired with a moto 360 and sony sbh52 and enjoy seeing the notifications everywhere.

I actually don't think the smart watch is redundant. You dont have to pull your phone out of your pocket everytime to see the time. They serve there purpose greatly and it is it's own separate entity that you actually dont have to have the phone for. Thats why I like it. I would like a smart watch actually but cant seem to cough up 300 for one. What does annoy me from time to time is all the notifications. I get the same ones on my tablet as my phone and they are both going off. Cant stand it. The led case to me is like wearing 2 smart watches with both of them doing the exact same thing side by side. One just may be displaying it using a different method. Like I said though to each his own. If you want an led cover then get one. If they ever make it.... Judging by the lack of support or accessories for this phone that is the only reason I say probably not.

Using double-negatives isn't helping your already-weak arguments for something that's incredibly low in demand. You're one of a very few people who want an LED cover, which is why it will likely never be produced. Your thinking is upside down if you believe the price of a device should dictate the extent of accessories available.

I agree stay on topic!! I often ask myself, Why do I need a 7" tab and a 5.6" phone? But heck, to each his own, needed or not. If there is a demand, then someone will make one. So keep asking, go to the manufactures website and ask there too. Get friends to ask also (Even if they don't have the phone) Who knows, they might send you a prototype free to test out and see what the reaction is.

I sent samsung an email about this, hopefully they getback to me

There is no way that will work with our phones the way it's showing... Not have out some sort of custom ROM/software. Save your money, even if it's only a few bucks.

I dont see any chips in the pictures on the inside of case. I kno the s-view cases are auppose to have a chip to activate the s-view, i assume its the same with these so check it out before you buy. I got a note 3 sview last year and it was same advertisement saying it would turn on sview but it didn't have the chip so i got the case free for false advertisement.

Just had a thought? Beside covering the edge screen, shouldn't Note 4 cases or backs fit the Edge?

There is no way that will work with our phones the way it's showing... Not have out some sort of custom ROM/software. Save your money, even if it's only a few bucks.

Whether it works or not, but why not contact the seller for further info. instead of jumped into conclusion.

You can see from the pictures that the front of the case is just a bunch of holes. Some images imply that there is some sort of LED display, but you can see the rear facing camera hole through the holes in the front of the case.

Honestly, even if they make a LED flip case for our phones I'm not sure I'd get one, unless the magnet is stronger than the one for the current flip case. I've watched too many reviews on it and the flap just falls open too easy. I want something that'll stay shut when the phone is held upside-down. Furthermore, I'd like one that could hold 3 cards in it without it affecting how far the flap closes. Just my magical Christmasland wish though, probably won't happen.
