all the talk about lag?

When I see this i guess either mine is fine or I dont know what they are looking at . Some one could let me know what the lag is so I can check mine.

I get no lag at all

Its everywhere.... Where do I start? there is a delay unlocking the phone once your finger swipes, opening apps is slow, pressing home button to return to home screen is delayed (after disabling the home button in svoice), pulling the notification window down randomly stutters. Most of these are random and inconsistant, but 1 that I have found is ALWAYS an issue is in the Samsung Browser. Do this to see the lag. at the top there is the window notification in the broswer that shows how many open windows there are. Press it and see how long it takes to display the other windows.
The lag is everywhere... Had I not returned my HTC One to get this I would return it in a second, but they wont accept a second return now, so im stuck with a crap phone....

Im sorry that everyone is having these issues but mine seems fine and if it is lagging then maybe im not a super user and to me it dont seem to be a problem , my only issue is the keypad I keep hitting the numbers when typing and letters when spacing . And the windows tab opens pretty quick to me bout .9 of a second and it opens.

use a different browser and see how fast it is. Thats the problem .9 seconds is lag, I guess were use to different speeds. If you are coming from a craptastic phone that had alot of lag you wont notice it as much as someone who is use to a fast phone like a Nexus 4 or HTC One. Those phones are blazing, and honestly my old Note 2 was faster than this S4.

After playing a bit with the one I do agree that it is quite a bit snappier however something about it just seemed boring. As for the lock screen I do agree and I was able to help the issue a bit by switching to the ripple effect apposed to light under lockscreen effect. Also switching to thumb keyboard greatly improved speed there. However after using it for a few days the little bit of lag either gotten better or I just notice less.

Might be just that , ive been on a htc vivid since November 2011 and it got to be a pain in the arse to use. Hopefully they will have something that will fix it soon.

No lag here, but I've said that already.

I just came from an iPhone 5 and the GS4 is already back in the box. I used it for one day and it was pretty bad. I guess if I had used it longer I might have gotten used to the slowness of it but the fact that SVoice and Google Voice search didn't work over bluetooth in my car like Siri and Google do on my iPhone made me return it.

Root it in the mean time, install tibackup and start removing crap. Clearly the phone is loaded with only 8 or 9gb free on a 16gb device.

with already having root, and the bootloader unlock already verified to be coming soon, i think you would be doing yourself wrong to get rid of your gs4. since we now know that custom roms will be on their way. and since we know that custom roms do perform better than stock roms.

Anyone who says their S 4 doesn't lag is either lying, blind, or seriously has never used a lag free phone. I don't see how its going to be fixed either since its mostly due the the extraordinary amount of bloat in this version of Touchwiz with a tone of useless "features" that are also responsible for taking up so much memory space. I have an iPhone 5 which is lag free like all iPhones ever and a Note 2 which has a minor amount of lag in a few places. The shoddy cheap plastic construction, bloat, and minimal memory space is an insult to Samsung customers. At least the buttons are better but Samsung is out of control everywhere else. Ugh. They msut really think their customers will put up with anything they deign to slop down to them.

I did notice a tad bit of lag here and there and to me the 3 main contributions to lag in any s4 are this
1- stock browser ie. Keyboard lag
2-stock launcher, I use go ex
3-att crap bloat, I've deleted not disabled it all
My s4 is f'in fast as hell with no lag after addressing those three items

Galaxy S4 Buyer Beware?

Hi all so the Galaxy S4 has a fair few problems some that maybe software others that are hardware. Right now I'm saying Buyer Beware and I'm wondering if other owners would agree or disagree?
In this video I cover the problems I've had myself, I know others have had different problems.
Be interested to know what everyone thinks...

I've not really experienced any of the problems people are reporting. The only thing I have noticed (which is rather annoying) is random reboots when using either the camera or the gallery and Chrome seems to crash quite often too but obviously this could just be an issue with Chrome and not with the S4.
Never even heard of the wifi or headphones problem.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

None of this problems occurred to me.
1. Tried with my SteelSeries headphones and it never got distorted in any level of volume (I use adapt sound).
2. I played "need for drift" and it got hot after about 10 minutes but not as much as putting the device away. And it was actually after a few benchmarks (such as antutu, quadrant and GLbenchmark 2.5 and 2.7).
3. The rim around my headset is just fine (maybe this is a problem with the s600 variant).
4. In my country the S4 are selling like hotcakes and I was very lucky to put my hand on a headset (I needed to buy from directly from an official store of Samsung for the whooping amount of 3600 NIS [about 1000 USD] since all the retail stores had already sold all their units), only the official stores here have left with headsets and even them sold all their stock very quickly and needed fresh supply every few days.
P.S. My wifi works flawlessly

Im very haapy with the device. Aside from the screen smearing which all s4 phones are affected, it's only software issue can be easily fixed on further updates

I have not had any issues. Amazing phone coming from HOX. I would highly recommend the S4 to anyone.

I'm not seeing any of these issues, either. If I did, I'd chalk it up to being an early adopter. The customers working out some of the bugs is unfortunately the norm these days and I knew that going in. However, mine has been perfect in it's first 2 weeks. This is my first Samsung (wife has an S3) and I am enjoying the change from the much buggier HTC's I've had over the years.

I have just sent mine back due to a crackle at high volume whilst using headphones which are not cheap ones

The prob I'm having is it becomes too hot to hold comfortably, regardless of any thermal trip that will power the device off if its too hot to hold its not much use for gaming after 20 mins. I've also seen games start to stutter more when it reaches this point which may indicate the system throttling back to reduce the temp. I dont think i have overly sensitive skin others that have used it have said it was uncomfortably hot.

As you can see all over the this thread (including myself), no one has faced any issues or bugs as mentioned.
The only thing that happens to everyone (and it is a software problem that can fixed via application from play store) is smearing and it's simply because the software don't turn black pixels back on fast enough so you see smearing when you scroll really fast.

I had a build problem & software probs on my first batch pebble blue S3 i bought last year, main problem was it kept dust around the edges that couldn't be removed, the software probs were sorted with updates, one being the audio quality were it would make a clicking sound when it went into sleep when listeining mp3's, also could have died at any point as it had the bad EMMC.
I recently bought another S3, build December 2012, no probs with build quality and a new revision of EMMC chip.
Just hoping now the build quality better on the 2nd batch can live with the software bugs as they will be sorted at some point.

[Q] Battery Consumption Gear 2 and S4

I have had my Gear 2 for about 7 days now and i barely get 24hrs on a single charge.
What are people seeing for battery consumption?
Am i missing something?
I thought it was the newness and that i might have been using a lot so i planned to reset the watch and not use it that much as a test. So yesterday i reinitialized my G2 and reinstalled the Gear Manager on my phone. I planned for a day of limited use. I turned off the screen motion sensor. Then this morning i took the G2 off charge at 8:30am. I checked the time today maybe about 10 times received 2 notifications and at 8:50PM i am at 49% WTF?
This is terrible performance and sadly i am contemplating returning my G2 to best buy and waiting to see what else comes out in later this year. I also can't seem to get notifications to pop up on the screen. I get vibration and beeps but i still have to open the notification section to read the msgs from my messaging app Invi.
The battery is really going to be the deal breaker for me unless someone has some insight to what might be causing this massive drain.

I've had mine for a little longer than yourself. I have mine hooked up to a note 3 and I have been getting great battery life, in the 3+ days range. I turned off the motion sensor and the battery has gotten even better, sitting at 69% after pulling it off the charger yesterday morning, I am not a heavy user of it however, I use it mainly at work, since I can't have my phone on vibrate, only silence it allows me to know when my phone receives things in a discrete manner. You probably received a defective unit as to the battery life and the notification issues. I would take it back to best buy and trade it for another. My 2 cents.

It is now 12:45AM the G2 has been off charge for 16hr 15min and i am at 20% I have only checked the time about 5 times since my original post.
I don't think it will make it to 24hrs.

That is the kind of performance i was hoping for.
Maybe i will return it for another but i don't have a good feeling. Maybe it is something related to my S4 and the G2 combination.

You need to remember that although the screen is off its still working. Mine is working fine on S4 and I have everything on and brightest it can go and use it a lot .anything over 24 hours is fine to me. Currently been off charge for 10 hours and still 83%. We all use devices differently so it's either defective or something isn't set right.

As i stated in my post i refrained from using the G2 aside from checking the time throughout the day. I completely agree with you. The question is what could possibly be set wrong to cause this,

When the G2 reached 15% at around 2AM (~17hrs off charge) i turned off the bluetooth on the G2 and after 2 hours it was at 14%. So it seems that it is related to the bluetooth and S4.

I thought Gear 2 only work with 4.4?

No they work with 4.3. My note 3 was 4.3 due to Verizon being slow to update. But the gear worked great with 4.3. Works better with 4.4 though. I see better battery life on both devices, it seems to not drain as much.

Tab 3 8 Kit Kat. What's new?

I just got the kit kat update for Tab 3 8. I live in LA California. Wifi only and I had to force it using the check for updates option. So I can list a few differences I'm noticing. I'm pretty sure all this stuff is new but some of it might be stuff I missed with 4.2.2.
Transparent notification bar.
New multiwindow experience. Now it does not have that little tab hanging over the side. Now you swipe it in from the side. I haven't played with it, I still find it unusable.
You can customise the toggle ribbon more now. You still have to have tons of icons but you can pick the order and take a few out.
The lock screen has a now playing type widget that looks nice.
On-screen keyboard toogle for bluetooth keyboards. I actually am trying to write a screenplay on this tablet and I had to buy a stupid app to fix the stupid keyboard the stupid way it worked be stupid fore and now it works better and I bought a stupid app for stupid nothing. But I'm glad it works better now.
That's all I've noticed so far. I also don't use touchwiz, I use nova.
Tell me what you guys are noticing or if you find an official list of changes let me know. Thanks everybody

Jacksonville, FL here and no update available yet.

Cosmetically it's hard to notice the difference on the firmware, but under the hood there are some serious changes to the firmware, but all for the better.
The "Transparent Notification bar" was there on JB 4.2.2,
And "Multiple windows" is very functional now.
● TouchWiz is lighter and smooth now...
(I'm so happy with it's performance now, to the point I didn't bothered to install the Google Now Launcher yet...)
● Third-party apps can't write to External SD card anymore...
(There is a way if you root the device)
● Some extra new Wi-Fi settings.
● The keyboard is improved and the "Picture gallery" and other factory apps also received some TLC for the better.
But for me, the "Multiple User capability" is definitely th e Icing on the cake.

Not much because i bought this phone only 3 months ago. But even i bought it a year ago, there are no reason to active a home screen for long time we can play game, read book, surf web , but no one just let home screen stay active to look at it in long time. That why this is realyy weird to me )
I just wonder will Samsung replace the screen for me under warranty ?

Not much because i bought this phone only 3 months ago. But even i bought it a year ago, there are no reason to active a home screen for long time we can play game, read book, surf web , but no one just let home screen stay active to look at it in long time. That why this is really weird to me )

since i bought the phone and i'm really afraid of this, i agree with you have no way to open the homescreen all the time and even though other icons should burn in :/
i don't know about the warranty but i hope they replace for you

Keeping your screen at full brightness with longer screen time out is going to do this. Never keep a static image on any non LED screen for a long period of time.

Just got my replacement phone from AT&T and it already has some burn in where the status bar is. ugh

Because they never send a new phones... also most likely the screen they replaced was not new one either and thus it was used for quite a long time, maybe in a bad ways that set it close to burn out(yep, it's called burn out = pixels fade). It's not fair to have warranty only to be send/replaced with used parts and phones... but yes, if you read the warranty - it's legal.

Have a replacement on the way, told Att I just wasn't happy with the display. So hopefully the replacement will be better.
