Got one today, not impressed really.I'm going to unroot it and take it back and order an sgs2 from clove.
No dev work on it yet, don't know why when there is already a thread for the htc sensation which has no release date yet.

i selling my galaxy s2 if you interested! or anyone else that is interested.

same here...
I'm using a captivate with Speed N Style ROM Purplicious. Infuse looks mostly similar minus the processor and 1080p. Development may follow heavily, and pretty quickly, due to the similarities to i9000.
Got one today but spot working im in downloading mode need stock rom any help plz )):

What did you guys pay for yours? Where's the best price off contract you've seen?
loving mine. 4.5 inch screen is great. especially when dash mounted. extremely snappy. can't wait for the ROMs, touchwiz 4 is better than 3.
Like a lot of others, i was torn about getting the infuse or waiting for AT&T's version of the SGS2. it sounds great and all, but who knows when that's coming out. Even when it does, i don't know if the dual core will be a huge difference, plus i think i would rather have the infuse's larger screen.

worst case, you wait a few months, love the SG2, and then just sell the Infuse.
at least that's my plan.
now I'm off to the mall to buy it
I've been doing the buy/sell/trade with phones since the Iphone 4 came out. I got my Infuse yesterday, and I can honestly say it is more than a phone. Its the first phone I have not been able to use comfortably with 1 hand. The delayed dedicated forum and GS2 will prolly kill this phone. I don't think the dualcore will really matter, but I think the smaller screen of the SG2 will make it more comfortable to use. Until then, I will use the Infuse that I got, as it is by far the best At&t device to date.

The only thing that was bugging me about the huge screen that I think is impossible to do with one hand is pull down the notifications tab. Installed LauncherPro, used the home button to pull down notifications problem solved. I'm loving the extra real estate and especially when it comes to typing.

sorry,
someone from ebay already bought it.
To begin im not rooted or unlocked and ive read through the stickies and pages at "solutions" but i gotta say this is the worst phone ive ever owned. I figured it would be at least on par with my old g2 or mt4g but they would smoke this paperweight on edge network. Ive factory reset, used task killer, rebooted, called tech support, and im about ready to committ cellular homicide and mail it back piece by piece. I know im not the only one here....who else wants to vent some steam by sharing a nightmare?

Um it would quite help if you were to explain the reasons why you don't like this phone? And it would also really help if you didn't judge this phone stock because when its on the stock rom, its a piece of sh*t. I almost ran over this thing.

It shouldnt have to be rooted to compete with the g2 or mt4g...this beat the iphone 4 in a speed test. This thing lags on every scroll and takes a good 10-15 sec to open anything you touch. This isnt the first one ive experience this with either. Tmobile hyped this up like its hot sh** but its just cold diahrea

If you are clearly having issues why not custom rom it? I really don't understand why are you refusing to do something that has SOO MANY benefits and zero disadvantages. Sounds like lazyness to me. Shouldn't even bother with xda if you won't even root the phone

My wife and I both got the SGS4G at the same time she had all of the same complaints and eventually caved in and got a different phone. I on the other hand came to XDA and got help and now I am perfectly happy with the phone. the Vibrant had all of the same issues and its a software problem form Samsung. I loaded a custom ROM and all of the issues I had are gone. the great thing about software is that it can be fixed. Hardware issues are another story of which this phone has none that I have found. It is possible to revert back to stock firmware and software so that its like you never did anything if you want to sell the phone later. So this is not the place to vent about how crappy your stock phone is it is the place to come and load the software needed to fix it.
I'm.with you... I miss my mytouch 4g. Such an awesome phone. So many roms. So fast.

Honestly this is like if you bought a Ferrari and it had a rev limiter set at 2k with the top speed limited to 10mph but refused to turn off the limiters. The limiters are clearly there and you can clearly turn them off but you refuse to and instead of fixing the issue, you complain saying that you shouldnt have to turn them off and your ford fiesta is faster.

I know that rooting the phone isn't simply going to make all the problems go away. I absolutely hated this phone. Then when the new gb roms came out and all the tweaks started pumping out, I actually started to like this "p.o.s".

i think ur saying stock=crap rooted=good....so you basically agree with me so far...we both hate it stock and when my pc is back up n running ill root and update my review when i got custom rom. But as it stands im at 1ghz slow as hell. And its like i said before i dont want to buy a phone depending on root in order to make it function like its supposed to. If the cpu acted like it was at 1ghz i wouldnt be slammin this p o s.

just a note you dont ever need a pc anyomre to cough root a phone and flash a diffrent rom at all all yuo need is root explorer and to start off the recovery from krylons cwm final and then the update.zip and then the custom rom or a few of them push the recovery record reboot install zip via update gets u to cwm and then install new rom never once haveing to touch a pc
and if your on froyo u can use the market and get root theres apps that work for that

You came here with the sole purpose of complaining about the phone and not showing any interest about doing anything about it. If you want to complain about how bad this phone is try doing it on the T-Mobile forums so at least people who are thinking about buying the phone might be persuaded against it. I fell into it by commenting in the first place and I overlooked the first rule of the internet...Don't feed the trolls.

seems the market app may have been removed sent u a link with one that will root any 1.6-2.2 android rom without needing a pc just make sure to pick 2.2 version of froyo should work
Part Four, is that you?
Anyways, I've actually played with my cousin's MT4G (3 cousins have that phone). I honestly wouldn't say that the SGS4G falls too far behind it.
My cousins always complain about the battery life, since they can't even get half a day's worth with the screen at the lowest setting. On the other hand, the SGS4G put up excellent battery life since I got it. I ran it with its first brightness setting and easily got a full day's use out of it.
Speaking of the screen, you can't deny that this screen is quite beautiful.
As for the stock speed of the phone, I kinda have to agree that the MT4G is slightly better. It's not ridiculously faster, but it is faster by a hair. On a more interesting note, my friends had a rooted G2 which lagged more than my stock SGS4G.

Ill give you the screen, it is beautifull and that was a big selling point .my battery drains fast and charges slow ive downloaded maybe a couple apps, my display takes 99% of my battery and its at half power if you can believe that. But a g2 that lagged worse? He should get mexdroid or pyromod and start blazing up and down the superhighway. Those were my fav anyway

But don't stay on a froyo rom. I didn't really like those either. The big difference is when you start using a gingerbread rom which you will need a PC for to flash the bootloaders.

I have two mytouch 4gs. The screen on that phone blows away the sgs4g. The only reason I don't use it is because the wife and daughter have taken them over and stuck me with this thing.
Mytouch4g running Faux123's AOSP rom gets well over a day with heavy usage. About the same as CM.
I like the sgs4g.... its what I'm stuck with for now... but its no where near what the mt4g has to offer.
Better camera. Flash. Better screen. Better wifi.
And AOSP.
This phone with every tweak and rom doesn't come close to the mt4g.
Sorry. But its true.

Hello I just got my gs4 on Saturday and I have to say that im not as impressed as I thought I would be.
The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.
I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...
At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....
And mine is definitely laggy

If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.
Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..
Mine got pretty warm last night while playing a simple solitaire game...
It was also eating battery pretty fast.
I rebooted it and it seemed to go away.

There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?

I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.
Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.
With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

try to factory reset it or firmware initialization in kies before you take it back. 50/50 chance it fixes your lag. plus an at&t OTA update happened today that has addressed some lag issues also.
The HTC One is a very nice phone..
I was ready to sell my S4 and get a Nexus 4 because of the lag issues I was having.. I had deleted over 100 apps / processes and had to tweak a bunch of settings just to get the phone usable..
Then today something strange happened..
AT&T released an update that has solved all my issues. This phone is now lightning fast and I am 99% pleased with it..
Enjoy the HTC One as it's also a very nice device!

Ahhh spoken like a true fan boy fag. Ive had the gs2 gs3 note2 and now the gs4. Never a complaint untill now. That makes me a real troll.
For the others ill see how the update is and go from there. Maybe there is hooe for this phone. My cousin already got his update and he too was pleased.

Just exchanged my HTC one in today for one of these bad boys.. both are awesome, the s4 is far more convenient than the one is software wise.. im thinking the camera is slightly better on the s4 also. Htc definitely has it when it comes to design and build quality but reception and wifi is kinda botchy (assuming its due to aluminum casing).
Have fun with your battery life OP :thumbup:

I traded in my htc one expecting the world (as promised) from my GS4. What an awful mistake. This device has the be one of the worst upgrades ever!!!!! All it does is lag, lag, and lag some more. Its constantly freezing forcing me to restart the phone, getting hot and just driving me nuts. I've officially had it. I cant take it anymore. Im fed up. Im disgusted. I cant think of any more ways to describe what im feeling. Called Att a few minutes ago and now have a black htc one otw. I cant wait to recieve a premium phone thats acts as such.:banghead:
Now to the fan boys. I was one of you until recieving my s4. I am now officially jumping off that wagon. Samsung better do a much better job in the future if they ever hope to see another penny from me ever again!
Thanks
Sal
Ps btw because of the freezing and garbage keyboard this obe thread took about 5 minutes to complete. Woul have taken 2 minutes on the HTC

My initial phone sucked back. Lag, got hot, etc... Swapped that baby out and now with the update, this phone is near flawless for what I use it for. It is so smooth and fast.
Return it and your problems will go away.
Mod, please lock this because there are too many threads that are samiliar this thread. Thanks.

Thank goodness. Nobody needs you here anyways.
I'm even more pissed than you. Want to know why? You started another thread about lag. I think anyone that starts stupid threads when there are already 100,876,342,956 stupid threads of the same thing should be banned for life from XDA.
Also, the HTC One is a fantastic phone, but do you think anyone here actually cares if your returning your S4? Return it and get a life chump. Nobody cares.

OP as it appears you are unhappy with your device, I can provide a solution to your thoughts>>>>Here. Thank You.
You know I bought this phone on the premise that even if loaded with bloat the Snapdragon processor in here should be enough to handle it and still provide seamless screen transitions, etc.
Sadly it seems that this phone is laggy. At times when screen transitions it will "stutter" or otherwise "hesitate" causing a poor user experience.
So I did tweak my ROM up some, disabled most of the bloat and the experience is now what I would have expected from it stock.
I also understand that I am coming from my own tweaked ROMS on other high end devices but I just expected more from this.
What do you all think? What phone did you come from?
Yay another thread about the lag lol

Can you post where, I want to read up on it. I will close this thread as well.
Will you be creating clean Rom for this?

Yeah, I am debating whether or not to keep this thing.
Its nice but I was kinda expecting more punch from it. Plus its just line I dont need as I also want to keep my Verizon line so its up in the air right now.
I did stock rooted ROMS already from the latest OTA dumps but have not posted them pending testing.
I still have 12 days left to decide....

Honestly with the bloat frozen this phone is nearly the same as my s3 was out of the box "lag" wise. I love it...
Really hope you decide to stay around, have only ever heard great things about clean rom but have never gotten to try it!

Exactly, its the same as an S3 with 1/2 the processing power.
I have Note II and S3 ROMS that are much smoother... I guess its going to be hard to judge until I can tear it apart and do some tweaking to the OS more. It sjust my Note II, stocked seemed faster.
I dont know yet. Just trying to gather opinions. I am sure Samsung will smooth it up. They made huge strides with the Note II.
I'll check out your links tonight. Thanks for posting them!
I was thinking about returning it for the one which is smooth as hell

I have come from the note 2 as well and its unreal to realize the lag on this. Ive only froze the at&t bloat thinking it was enough but damn....its pretty bad.
Stock Note 2 smashes this. Im hoping if/when the bootloader gets unlocked, scrosler and other devs can make this GS4 into what its meant to be...a beastly device.
For now...its tolerable but its bad now because I expected more from a flagship phone.

Hey Scrosler, loved your One X roms! As far as the lag goes, it does definitely seem that my S3 was faster. It's made it hell deciding on whether I should keep my S4 or HTC One, since I was going to originally take the One back. Aside from the stuff you probably did already, try disabling the lock screen animation as well as disabling the home button from accessing S Voice (double click the Home button, then go to settings to disable). These are the two things that seemed to have helped the most with lag issues. Still not perfect by any means, but it's much improved. Now if I could just do something about the damn keyboard lag..

What about gaming. My girlfriend has the s4 and we did a head to head comparison of vice city and her one ran it smoother. That makes no sense to me.

My wife is not experiencing any of this prolonged lag. Consider us lucky. Ours is pretty solid. The first time I did notice lag was while unlocking the phone with the "majestic twinkle" effect. It did it intermittently. Turned that effect off. Now unlocks smooth. Also turned off all transitions. Much better. Theres no stutters or lag spikes. Its pretty darn good. For a stock experience we are satisfied. If Scot does decide to develop for this phone I am confident it will be CleanRommed.
Comparing it to my Note 2 running cleanROM is totally unfair though
Mines snappy idk what you guys are talking about!
Scott keep it! You leaving the One was a big reason why i switched, and a few of the other inconveniences that comes along with an HTC

But I would not blame you one bit if you ditched it!
I am seriously debating selling mine ( I paid full price ) and picking up a Nexus 4 but will wait until Google i/o before deciding what to do..
Same thing here I'm used to using my own ROMs, so there is that adjustment
But Scott as you know there is only so much that can be done with a ROM at the end of the day Samsung will have to adjust some things which then gives us a better base to work from, I'm sticking with this one till nexus 5 is out
Just my 2 cents

I will tell you this...
I had both and the One is 10x more smooth. Thats why I felt let down with this phone. I have to shut off / freeze damn near everything to get acceptable performance out of it. I know in time Samsung will improve but I am dealing wiht the here and now...

Thats what I am saying, stock Note II blows this away but the benchmarks are just the opposite.

Yeah, I tweaked it pretty hard, minor stuff like build pror, caching, etc. Similiar to what I would do if I had a ROM built around it but... still..

Yep, I am sure of it. I dont think Samsung has the experience in building with 4.2.2...

Yeah, but you turned off the cool parts which I like. I always set my transistions to 50%, even in my ROMS but I wont turn them off. The twinkle affect should cause stutter after its done. I see lag just backing out of the Play Store to the desktop it will sometimes stutter. Not just the occasional lock screen lag in which I know you are referring to.

lol, I guess in a way I feel bad... But i never told anyone to buy the phone I do :crying:
I really dont know if I am going to keep this one. Its a whole differnt carrier, and a whole new line that I really dont need. And with the current level of performance its hard to justify keeping it.
This is why I started the thread. To see if it was me and my expectations or if the phone really is laggy.... And from the feedback, its laggy, its not just me.

Yes, I totally agree and I think its Samsung lack of experience with Snapdragon on 4.2.2.
I have Nexus 10 which is not as powerful as this phone but its a Sammy processor and there is ZERO lag with dual cores at 1.4 or is it 1.5 GHZ. And thats at nearly 4x the pixels that this has.
I was just expecting this thing to scream when I first got it...
Disable and android go hand and hand since the g1. My only problem with the os is the hardware needed to make this a smooth experince , a lot of work needs to be done with android. Its a great platform but nothing is perfect I guess
But hey android is getting better and better.
