Built in FM Radio - Galaxy S 4 General

According to AT&T's web page the Galaxy S4 has a built in FM radio...

Would it not be more useful to include digital radio instead?

I didn't see that that's very cool I pre order mine though ATT

Yeah, ATT ads are not made by tech people judging from the number of mistakes they make.

Woukd be COOL if true? But the ATT page when the SGS2 came out said it had the fm radio which was a mistake. Plus the link you have also stats Gorilla Glass 2? Which I thought it is supposed to have Gorilla Glass 3? So again I wont believe it UNTIL I see it in person.

Look at walmart's description. They say the S4 has a dual core processor with an 8 MP camera. Stopped reading after that.
Just don't get your hopes up folks. We know more than the ad men, the customer service reps, and in a lot of cases the tech support too.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

I know the international version had it. So I was stating that when the ATT version came out Att's website showed it had the fm tuner as well. As all the US versions know they took it out and didnt offer it.

Sorry whats wrong with the atrix? The screen is one thing. It's better for text, worse for solid colors, but seriously, the atrix, trash? No.
It's going to be a universal launch. Unlocked, all carriers, One price.
Koodo on tab, Virgin available for super tab, 3 yrs for all others, or straight up around 550.
It's pretty neat, but no superphone.
Did you try one? I actually picked one up from Bell on release day and used it for a week to see if I would make the switch. The result was a resounding no... it's just sluggish and choppy because of Motoblur. It's a typical case of good hardware, terrible software and execution. I could give you a detailed review of the shortcomings but that's not really the scope of this thread so... yay nexus =)

Just heard that verizon has officially passed up on carrying the galaxy s 2. What a **** move, it was going to be my next phone. I guess sammy didn't want to add 4g so they passed. At least that's what i read just now on neowin. God im ticked!
Fine with me. I will not touch another Samsung phone after the epic fail with the Galaxy 1 series (I had the ATT Captivate).

Yep, it's a good phone. Galaxy s1 series issues were mostly the file system's fault. They went with ext4 on the s2, not the crappy RFS hacked up crap they used to use.
Well hopefully the nexus prime is coming then.

True, forgot about that. At least the driver for GPS is opensource in the S2, so potentially it could be fixed by the community if it's not a hardware issue itself.

Vzw probably passed on the sgs2 becuase they are getting the nexus prime made by Samsung. Why carry both phones, it doesn't make sense, if the prime is everything it is supposed to be no one will want the sgs2.

It sucks that Verizon decided against the GSII. I am ready to move on from the Thunderbolt. I don't think the Bionic will be quite on par, but who knows....
Oh well, hopefully they'll get the Nexus Prime.
My sgs2 actually saved me from being a rom addict lol. Since I got it I didn't feel the need of custom roms. Stock gs2 rom its perfectly fast... I have the phone for about 3 months and still running stock ...phone is sick.... I hope the t mobile or sprint version comes with the exynos CPU.....

I've heard that several times now-- basically every "premium" android phone that's come down the pipes from them

[POLL] Which version do you have, S4 or S3?

Just a bit of research I thought may be interesting... Enter the poll and add any comments if you feel necessary :good:
How can I tell?
If you don't already know the S4 model usually clocks around 1.5ghz and the S3 clocks at 1.7ghz which you can check with several apps on the market. Another way to check is the model number on the box, Z560e is S3 and Z520e is S4.
Prediction:
I recon there is going to be more S4 people around due to this forum being used by a lot of people in the regions that only sell them. Although saying that, I bought my One S in the UK which should have been an S4 model but turned out to be a S3 and I can't refund it
Results so far:
Interesting, 2 days in (23/10/2012) and the results are as follows.
S3 - 13 Votes - 30.23%
S4 - 30 Votes - 69.77%
Don't Know - 0 Votes - 0%
Did I not say there would be more S4 users? ;D .. No brainer really..
25/10/2012:
S3 - 25 Votes - 35%
S4 - 53 Votes -74.65%
Don't Know - 0 Votes - 0%
S3 percentage is slowly decreasing..
And who knows, if there is enough S3 users dev's/chefs may consider whipping up a few more S3 Roms.. ;D
Also, Tell me if this is the wrong section for this poll, but I felt general should be fine for most things including polls
S3 here. I also didn't know what I was buying it is not a bad phone, but it is not the best either

I got my phone off Amazon.co.uk unlocked and unbranded. I did however talk to the seller before getting it and he said it was from the UK (Carphone Warehouse to be precise) I have a feeling he may have lied as the CPWH website says it sells the S4 model :C Oh well, live and learn eh?

UK amazon phone....S3 or S4?

Hi all,
I have just purchased a sim free One S from amazon and i'm trying to determine if i have an S3 or S4 model. After googling i found this american amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Z520E-VILLE-COLOUR-UNLOCKED/dp/B007H7G6IE
Which is the S4 model, when i change it to .co.uk instead of .com it comes up with the phone i just bought so am i right in assuming i have the S4 model?
I am coming from a HTC Sensation which unfortunately i lost so have replaced it on insurance money with this.
Don't hold me to this but I think it's s4
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Yes, it's the S4 version.
fantastic, cheers guys was hoping it would be. Can you also tell me whether or not the updates since the phone was launched has resolved the 'home screen issue' many people seem to have been having.
I don't think so the issue is still there I think I don't know I'm on custom rom
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
My homescreen doesn't have issues on stock not rooted. What issues are you speaking of?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
i've read of people experiencing weird home screen behavious, constantly changing from the main home screen to 5 screen view repeatedly
also, what headphones can i expect in the box as i heard the one s came with beats headphones as well as beats audio tech
When I ordered it from amazon.co.uk on the page was 1.5ghz cpu but I got an S3. I returned it. You can get S4 version in europe only by contract at some carriers elsewhere in stores it is the S3. And when its S4 its an old batch from the beginning of april whis has housing chipping. Im writing from my experience.
You can't be sure until u get the phone so when u get it go to hardware info if it says 1.7 you have s3.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
is it not easier to check what version it says on the box? that way i can return it if it's the s3 Z560e and not a S4 Z520e
edit: it also advertises a 1.5ghz processor which i believe is S4 and not the 1.7ghz one.......
Just received it and it is the S3.....how much of a difference will it make?

Kind of off topic but those included Samsung headphones sound actually pretty good. I liked the ones that came with my S4, sounds much better than the usual crap that's included with phone purchases nowadays.

You say that but I may be forced to get a T-Mobile gnote3 because as of right now there are no unlocked non carrier phones compatible with USA lte. Hspa+ is decent in town, but I just moved to an apartment where the atnt hspa is barely acceptable for voice. Forget about decent data speeds. May as well be on sprint. My folks house is about a mile and they're slightly better than what T-Mobile and atnt are transmitting my area.
Thanks for the video and making me even more jealous. As for headphones, Verizon does NOT include them, hasn't the GS3, GS4, GN2, and NOT in the GN3. So yeah, we get screwed by the masters of CHEAP.

Well, how cheap is cheap?
I have no idea how things are done in the US, but here in Holland, when you buy a phone with contract, at the end of the line it's never cheaper than when you wait a couple of months (after the pre-order period) and buy an unlocked, unbranded one (after some research, since there are tons of online and normal shops to compare from)...
Off course that the pre-order period, is a totally different ball game.
I am exercising will power and not being in a hurry...
I will succeed ...... ::silly:

PhoneArena should really have a talk with this guy, he doesn't even know why the cable "looks weird", it's a USB 3 cable you idiot xD
