I've been thinking about upgrading from the GS3 to the GS4. I know someone just swapped to the dark side from the iPhone5 :cough::cough: Adm_rsx :cough::cough:

Anyone else? Post some screen shots and ish!

Yea. My screen was hella cracked but it was a dud to begin with since its damn near the same as the 4s.

I'm surprised you didn't like the S3! Youre the first person I've heard that didnt like it. I might scoop up the S4 today, or maybe Monday. I just want a legit case for it before I get it. The last thing I want is to drop my new phone, lol.
Adm_rsx, the assistive light widget is the shit!!! So glad android added that for ice cream sandwich and jellybean. ^.^

Lmao, my bad. The earlier android operating system (4.0) is called Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). The new 4.1+ is Jellybean. You has teh jellybean.
Menu > Settings > About Device. See where it says "Android Version"? Tap that really fast like 10 times. Enjoy, its a hidden 'fun' feature. Impress your friends with their android phones that they've had forever and didnt know could do that. Lmao

Everyone says that to me when i say i hated it...i honestly hated it so much that i went back to my old phone to not use it....
Main issues :
Wireless turned on because of the updated wireless manager, and left wifi on when not utalized...
The file system is garbage, you can't browse the SD card from any applications, you can use file managing apps, you can't move files because the samsung rom controls every folder displaying it as empty...
It puts all your album art into separate folders in the gallery with no default way to group them
I hated that the music selection options weren't on the lock screen like my HTC/android
My biggest issue though, was when i was typing a very long text message then selected a word from the suggested list, it would delete 90% of the text and just fill in that suggested word. I would literally freak out

Samsung makes horrible shitty roms for thier phones and locks them down in ridiculous ways...Also idk what provider you have but At&T is also putting a boot locker on the s4.

Luckily, I had none of those issues and ai put this thing through hell. Worst thing I've noticed is the battery goes way too quickly. Oh well, bought it to use it!

I'm trying get the S4 now with opening a new contract, but everyone with unlimited has either $100/month (before tax) plans or $70/month (before tax) plans where you buy the phone for $650. It sucks! Need an S4

I love the android software games! ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) was an android as superman... but an ice cream sandwich instead, and hundreds of them flying in the sky haha. Very cool feature!

I have 1. There are A LOT of features on it that I don't use but are pretty cool. Like eye scroll or when look away from the phone while watching a video it will pause. I like the feature of watching a video and still being able to use the internet at the same time. This is my 1st Galaxy and I like it a lot. 1.9 Quad Core Processor... can't go wrong with that! It's like Boost! lol I like the picture quality, as well.

This is my first galaxy as well. Came from the iPhone. The transfer was difficult because your used to how one phone works. But after learning, I prefer the s4 over the iPhone 10 times over. I too agree that there are cool yet not so practical features, the movie pausing gets annoying and eye scrolling was a trip to try and use. But the keyboard Where you can drag to type is awesome.

I have been due for an upgrade for a while now but every time I look at phones .I can't decide what to get and end up saying the hell with it and keep my "old" familiar to me phone that does more than I need it to already .But seriously I need a new phone that somewhat simple to use and takes nice pics .I don't do well with computers so I don't need the best phone there is just a good durable phone that can take some abuse on the regular.
