Really disappointed in S4. In first two weeks have changed, keyboard, calendar, sms and launcher because I could not deal with the stock standard ones. Seriously overrated phone. Those with iPhones, you're missing nothing believe me. Smart scroll rubbish, air gestures rubbish, overall quality of android is not great. About the only thing it has going for it is that its customizable. I doubt I will live with this phone for much longer

anto, 17 Jun 2013heating issues anyone? after 5 minutes of use..the phone burns!!!yes it heated when i updated to every new firmware. it heats when you use every application first time(especially when using the things stored in memory card). but when you use it for one day and open every application once, heat becomes very low(very very low).

also disable touch sounds as it may help and format your memory card and do a factory reset if above procedure doesn't work. but it worked for me. i also set brightness to about 30% and put power saver on.

now it only heats while playing games for more than an hour which is normal and it cools down pretty quickly.also this heat is very less(just feels like warm)

you can check your battery usage statistics and if mediaserver or android system are consuming more than 20% power, a factory reset and formatting sd card might help.

Tip: use only class 10 high end sd card for high end phone as class 4 or 6 can cause heat storing full hd videos or 13mp photos quickly due to low memory bandwidth.

sorry for the long comment but surely at least one method will work. please repost your observations after trying these and help others fight this issue

anto, 17 Jun 2013heating issues anyone? after 5 minutes of use..the phone burns!!!I too am facing the heating issue only when Internet browsing and playing HD games. I think it's normal for a smartphone with Octa core processor. I place the phone whenever it heats up on the tray of a refrigerator for ten minutes and it cools down soon. Is it dangerous and can affect my s4 in future?

anto, 17 Jun 2013heating issues anyone? after 5 minutes of use..the phone burns!!!Not only this phone, I also experienced that burning sensation with my Huawei LTE portable Wi-Fi router.

Maybe it has something to do with LTE?

This is my first android and I thought i got the best. Nope. I can tell you it is just a dent to your wallet. I should have bought the note 2 instead. The only thing that got me to the s4 from note 2 were the display, camera and size. Those are the only things that havent disappointed me yet. Regret getting this phone

If you are planning to get one for the price its selling for now, DONT. I have been using an iPhone along with the S4 and even though bland I prefer the 4S. A few reasons for that are:
Even for a simply task like composing a text the S4 screen freezes frequently, a prob I have never had with the iPhone
Switching between apps witnesses lag occassionally that too when no other app us running in the background.
And this is a first I have seen on any phone I have used so far. I had hardly saved 20 contacts on my S4. Only the numbers I frequently called and opening the contact took for ever.

All that in just 5 days of purchase. Even after a year of hard abuse on the 4S I dont have much to complain other than it been bland, not in performance but in user interface. So either get the iPhone 5 or pray that samsung and google come up with a solution.
