shubham yadav, 03 Jul 2013don't go for OTA updates. install updates via KIES software in pc. install kies on your PC. co... moreHello Shubham,
Thanks for the advise buddy but even with kies it says the current firmware is the latest firmware. I tried on two different laptops but same result. I also tried to factory reset the phone, but of no avail.
This is really odd. I am an experienced user and i have owned Galaxy S1, S2, Note1. Currently i own Note2 and S4, but i have never seen such a behaviour before. An option would be to manually install via Odin. But i dont want to do that in my brand new S4.
What to do?? Any help anyone..

please don't listen to trolls bashing GS4. it's absolutely stunning.
and to all the trolls here i want to say that find a new job. people are not fools.
i admit that GS4 is splendid, but you still keep your note 2 as this will be really a minor upgrade. you should keep your note 2 unless you are very rich man with loads of money.
to all the trolls who are saying that GS4 is a marginal upgrade from s3 please tell me that apart from design which has changed little, what other feature has not changed: the screen, the camera, the UI, processor, new sensors. whatelse you want. and samsung didn't create it to crush GS3, but this is a great upgrade for people owning mid rangers or 2-3 year old flagships.
PERSONALLY I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHANGING PHONES EVERY HALF OR ONE YEAR. UPGRADING MUCH HIGHER REALLY GIVES SATISFACTION AND THAT'S NECESSARY.
above all it's your choice but many people buy phones every now and then and than regret their choice and later troll here and there saying that it's not a marginal upgrade.
nothing groundbreaking happens in 1 year. so please don't expect marginal difference in every now and then.
GOOD DAY

ddas, 03 Jul 2013Thanx dude u answered well to all my 3 questions spclly the last one..One thing i noticed usin... mores4 doesn't cause pain in eyes. it's better to my eyes than any other smartphone including canvas HD, htc one(this one really pains the eyes), xperia Z. trust me with adapt display this soothes the eyes and the display really looks as if printed on paper.
if you can get past it's plastic, than this phone beats the competition by significant margin. buy it, u won't regret

I from India and i got S4 just today. I need help..
As soon as i got the device... moredon't go for OTA updates. install updates via KIES software in pc. install kies on your PC. connect phone to pc and voila, update it.
updating via kies has major advantages:
1. it downloads the total firmware and not only the updated files. so if by chance any one app goes faulty, it will be replaced by new one. it's like a clean install.
2. it never runs out of updates or shows no update available.
3. it doesn't cost mobile data. i don't have wifi.
advice: please do a factory reset before and after new firmware. u won't face any problems.
yours is a previous firmware. update it via kies
good day.

AnonD-78634, 02 Jul 2013bhai why are you buying s4...s4 is full of hangs and lags just read this page s4 comments ...a... morehonestly if people buy GS2 they better off with look compare to this peice of plastic, GS2 was the revolution when it came out, and still standing firm for those people who are not heavy in to 1gb GAMES, etc, it is a phone after all and both GS2, AND GS3 are good enough for what they are, and for AVERAGE user
why pay £500 and get a phone which looks and feel so plasticy, lags, battery drains, no FM, and beside it is absolutly nothing special compare to what is out there!?
I wait for GS5, or go and buy HTC ONE right now!
I tried GS4, and only within 2 days, I luckly return it.
GS4 sale is dropping like a stone, and soon will hit the ground

I truly encourage everyone to keep posting their experience and opinion about GS4 in here and other site. Share your experience and lets have a proper discussion of why we think Samsung has failed with GS4, or otherwise!

go and get yourself a fantastic HTC ONE, OR even Sony! you can't go wrong against this peice of plastic brick, boaring look, no FM, nothing new , same old GS3
!
good luck

I am so bloody regretting buying S4. Fir the price you pay to get the device you would expect smooth performance. But no. That is not the case. I turned off all the animations, turned of accessing s voice from the home button, updated the firmware, keep clearing all unused apps but still nothing. The contacts take forever to open, any app i am running decides to turn off as it pleases. What was Samsung thinking? I prefer going back to my iphone. It may not have any of the gimmicks that Samsung has but atleast worked smooth. If you are planing on getting a phone to show off get the S4 or else dont even consider it.

Hello all,
I from India and i got S4 just today. I need help..
As soon as i got the device i tried to get the OTA updates which samsung had released but i found out that it said that latest updates have already been installed. I even tried updating via kies but again it said that this is the latest firmware. In about device it shows:
Model number:
GT-I9500
Android Version:
4.2.2
Baseband Version:
I9500DDUAMDK
Kernel Version:
3.4.5-526212
se.infra@SEP-111 # 1
Tue Apr 23 23:00:57 KST 2013
Build Number:
JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK
SELinux status:
Permissive
Can somebody please help me out? Why are the updates not getting installed. I am worried, this is not a cheap phone by any means i don't want to be stuck with a faulty piece..
Thanks in advance
