I use the s view cover. It's way better than the standard cover since the little slot they have for the cover is actually useful.

Some validation from Consumer Reports about the Galaxy S4. An article about the phone being the best smartphone in the world. -telling everybody what we already knew about the S4.

For people looking for a slim case that still offers full phone protection I would recommend taking a look at the Spigen Bounce cases. Its a slim TPU case that I think would be great as long as its not super sticky/rubbery feeling. I haven't seen one in person but it should be slimmer than the SPG Slim Armour case I am using.

Stock wise I hate everything on it actually. I turned off all the features the S4 was advertised for as well because I don't use it often. I love the hardware its equipped with. That is all IMO

I'm sure you'll be able to flash the s4 "nexus" rom from the us model onto it after next month. I'm thinking of getting the s4 just because of that.

Would it still work? Since the google version is using the T-mobile model, and in Canada we have the AT&T model.

^the playstore version is not the T-Mobile version. Not sure what they did, but it will be pentaband with same bands as Nexus 4 + LTE bands. So it will work with both Rogers/Wind

What they did was activate the full power of the chip via software. They should've done this for ALL S4s. But noooooo, Samsung Canada wants to keep carriers happy by locking it and disabling unused frequencies depending on model. Then again, this isn't "new", Iphone 5 has a pentaband chip since it was released but only until recently did they release an official pentaband iPhone 5.

Anyone know how to organize the apps in the actual apps menu. Not home screen. I try to unclutter the apps by creating folder
but when I drag an app it pops out to home screen...

Also can't delete apps by holding them (iPhone style and my old galaxy Q). Only in app manager

It doesn't do that on the stock rom. If you get one of the home replacements you'll be able to group things within the app listing via tabs.

Deleting apps can only be done through the app manager. But once again a home replacement may allow you to drag an app to the trash for uninstalling. I use Apex and Nova and both have those features.

Not sure if this has already been posted but if you did a hardware upgrade with Rogers and signed a 3 year flex they're giving a $35 google play voucher.

Mine is still pending after being submitted on the 9th.
