Hi all,
2 things i need to ask. Why does the volume bar comes on screen for 3-4 sec after finishing a call?
When battery is about 30to40% if i use skype ,camera or GPS sometimes it goes dead and continuasly restarting and will not turn on unless you plug it in.
My phone is 6 months old. Any tips will be welcomed.
God bless you

I want pure android 4.4.2 with s800 and S-LCD3 in Nokia Lumia 1020. Shape, build and camera must be from Nokia. And thats it, the perfect phone.

Download games by payin... moreSome games are incompatible with i9505, but if you download apks the games will run but will lag because they aren't compatible. What good is this phone when half the games are incompatible?
And games like Iron Man 3, Dead Trigger 2, Shadowgun Deadzone, Asphalt 8, which I downloaded directly from the play store (because they are "compatible"), are lagging as well.
Do you, maybe, by any chance, get paid by or work for Samsung? You don't have any arguments or anything you just come here and seem desperate to find a reason to say how it's people's fault that games lag and not phone's.
Let's be real. The games lag, you can tell by just looking at 'em, but even if you don't see it (for whatever reason) FPS meter doesn't lie.

Hello...
I really need your help.
I have a samsung s4 I9505. And its current version is still android 4.2.2. I live here in the Philippines and bought my smartphone in Dubai! I can't upgrade my phone into 4.3 version. I tried using OTA for so many times and all it says... "the latest version has already been installed" I also tried using the samsung kies but nothing happened, there is an error and cannot read the version of my phone.
AP: I9505XXUBMF7
CP: I9505XXUBMF7
CSC: I9505OJVBMF1
I would really appreciate your help. Thank you

I've never had issues with my S4, I've rooted it and using the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition 4.4 Kitkat with a few mods like Gravity Box, Xposed Framework, XuiMod with CWM Touch recovery.

Because you download apk files from internet so that's why games lags. Download games by paying money in play store, then you will come to know what is the real taste of gaming on s4. I never installed any pirated game so thats why I am not having any problems.

If you can buy costly phone then how come you are downloading pirated versions of games. Even games on play store are having new versions where as the apk files can be 1-2 years old.

So do things genuinely then tell people what s4 really is compatible of. I have also seen videos of gaming on s4 and I am also playing on my phone and never faced any problem like that because I have always played genuine games not apk ones.

rsnsvs, 18 Feb 2014Only you are having problem with games and stuff. None of the other users are having it. So ma... moreIt's not only me. I checked gameplay youtube vids with fps meter, and even the authors of those videos were dissapointed. You can't tell me that they optimize their apps for i9505 when half the games on google play are "incompatible with your device i9505". I mean sure you can download apk and data but it lags because its not optimized. Even those that are compatible, get like 30 fps and stutter to 20. Dont come here telling me that I'm lying without any arguments. Are you saying you get more than 30 fps? Are you saying it doesnt drop to 20 or so? I care about facts, not opinions. Just because you dont see lag ddoesn't mean there is no lag, you could have low standards or something, I don't know.
I didn't check YT vids and stuff before buying cause I didnt think a flagship can be so bad. Unbelievable.

TheBeast042, 17 Feb 2014Contacted some of the game developers, for Vice City, RiptideGP2 etc. and I9505 isn't compatib... moreOnly you are having problem with games and stuff. None of the other users are having it. So may be you should get your phone checked and stop telling fake talks about 19505 because this is international model and most of the developers are optimising their apps according to it and whereas 19500 is concerned its only us version.

So either you are having a fake s4 or samsung hater because you are writing against galaxy s4 from a month.

I am having a galaxy s4 from may 2013 and having no problem with it. All the games work fine. Not even heavy games like the dark knight rises or modern combat 4 are lagging. These games are nearly 2gb or more. So get a check on your phone.
