The Big Off-Topic Thread - Galaxy S 4 General

Hello!
I thought I'd make a big general thread for people to say unrelated stuff or whatever. Of course, people can ask questions about ROMs or kernels or whatever.
Let's all try to help each other out here.
Thanks!

Oh I would love it if the mods let this one stay! There's a big and popular General Thread in the S3 section that's remained unlocked because we police ourselves well there ^^

This is what happens when a phone is too good. After a couple of months the forum gets boring

Hey Shawty. Keep us updated after you've had it for a while. Might get one myself.

I sure will. I chose the low-cost shipping method, though, and I won't have it until at least 5th of July. I didn't wanna spend 50 euros (70 Aussie dollars) just for shipping.

Couple of weeks isn't too bad. I would have done the same. How much did shipping end up costing you?

Roughly 14 AUD.
EDIT: I cancelled the order for it. I think the phone's gonna be a tad too bulky with it.

No idea. Possibly a lot.

Thanks for this thread buddy. I was about to make this one. Great, now we can have chat in this thread regarding Off-topic & few rumours can be shared here..
I think it must be sticky here.

Me Gusta!

Just a mild warning on this thread, as with the other off topic threads we will allow it to remain unlocked as long as no major forum rules are broken (ie as Theshawty said, police yourselves). Breaking major forum rules could result in this thread being closed (look at the Galaxy Y off-topic thread and you'll see what I mean).
Thread stuck, have fun guys

Guys, you really use that all staff from samsung (smart stay, scrooll etc.... Balbla)?? I deactivated everything...

Is it just me or is smart pause very finicky? Sometimes it will work while other times it wont. Is there even a way to know if the phone recognizes your face?

Just checked the live Samsung updates page and it seems the Orange-branded Spanish firmware has the highest changelist so far: 779953 and it's an MF4 build. PDA version is lower than the unbranded Spanish release MF5, though.

Week off?

Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

Who wants one of those Samsung cameras? The ones with android. Why do you want one? I don't see the point in the thing, I don't see who would buy one from VERIZON and pay the ****ing data fee. I just don't get it. What is the appeal to own one of these?

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.

Yup. Why are there soooo many of these threads?? We ALL know that Verizon sucks with updates. Why do we need 10 threads basically saying the same thing? Honestly, no one who is on this forum should really care about carrier updates. Way before the carrier releases something, these is always a dev who ports it over from another carrier or the international verison.
Dont worry about updates when you're on XDA

Split the octa and quad subforums.

Hi guys! I'm back to my lovely second home, xdadev.
Just a quick suggestion this time, - IMO it would be a good idea to split the i9500 and i9505 subforums, just because later on it will get all very cluttered, since the two models will have different rom's and kernel's, In that respect they don't really belong in the same place on xda.
what do you think?

Not saying that mate. This thread should have be posted in General, because this problem is everywhere, not only in development area. Everybody is talking about "S4" but most of people doesn't specify which one. It's a chaos.

You're right this thread should be in general section. OP, you're definitely right, the octa and quad should be split into two subsections under Galaxy S4
Wrong section mate..
And about the suggestion. Definitely yes. Both the devices are totally difference and does not relate to each other in hardware manner.
Damn you eagle eyed forum readers! quick, summon the admins! We need to relocate
I'm pleased to see such a positive and logical response to my suggestion, we may be on to something here.

Here is one thing I noticed, there are plenty of posts complaining about where MM is and this is the only post showing that there is some progress and some people instead of being happy that there is progress, they complain here. So instead of complaining like a few people on here, I am going to actually thank the OP since I didn't know there was any progress on MM. There are a lot of people (me included) who just get their news from XDA. So I am glad to see that there is progress. I think the mod should clean this thread, as this thread is showing progress, not people complaining when the update comes because their $700-$800 phone is paperweight without the update.

Lol they've got their work cut out for them with all the complaints around here.
Also very excited about the progress, I used to always buy international variants but I've since found tmobile to be a cheaper variant to buy outright. I'm so excited, I know personally it'll take a while for me to use it. I dred going back to stock at any cost. I'll likely have the first flash able rom. But again one step closer for us is amazing news. Thanks OP!

Ahh I got you. What the hell is there to complain about. I am right there with you though. If updates are such a huge deal that adults have to throw hissy fits about them then you shouldve sucked it up and went with a Nexus.
Just because Google released a newer version doesnt mean somehow your phone is magically useless.
Thank you all for understanding. I was excited about the news and decided to share!
