Noob Q, but what happens to all the apps when you root the phone and flash it to a custom fw? Is there something like the "Sync" feature on the iphone?

Does anyone have this issue where the s view cover screen pop up randomly every now and then? It annoys the crap out of me... Is there a way to turn this off? I don't use the s view cover either.

I'm still a noob at this too Quote:

I wouldn't tinker with it more if I were you because later even if you bought an unlock code then you can't unlock it I hear. Best bet is buy one on ebay. 20 bucks. Just glad its not an iphone which is $70+ at repair shops

I'm running Infamous S4 rom with kernel. I'm very happy with this rom, I only flashed AOSP on my S3 but reverted back to stock because I liked the TW features. Infamous S4 gives features from both AOSP/TW.
@Traum look through XDA-Developers and find your S4 model.

from XDA developer website. the S4 forum for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (M919). the google s4 is I9505.
the Wind M919V is identical, except in name.
i had to install the Bell CWM recovery as the M919V doesnt have one for some reason. it works fine anyways. i installed it with ROM Manager from the App store.
the Rom Name is " I9505 - Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finally_M H5.zip"
aha found the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2404687
not feature filled, but i dig the small footprint required.
oh for the curious, my 128GB SD card works on this phone too  | |

less junk software, faster snappier phone, more storage space, more options for every aspect.
try em all. keep the one that fits you, honestly. no one can say which is really best.
does anyone's phone seem to get uncomfortably hot when gaming?

You can't really switch back without reloading everything. Also custom ROMs will be more up to date than anything Rogers will release.

The more popular ones release updates fairly regularly. Some even have bleeding edge nightly updates if you're feeling brave. Minor revisions you should be able to dirty flash so all your apps and settings are retained. One thing I recommend buying is Titan ium backup. The best way to backup and restore your apps.

Did anyone get their screen replaced yet? Cracked the gorilla glass while dirt biking and haven't gone into store yet.
Heard samsung is like $200 or something? After-market repair shops charge $130. I'd rather get samsung to do it for that price

Thinking to upgrade from my S2 to S4.
For the guys that have the phone, hope you guys can share some input to this.
How you guys liking the phone overall?
How is the battery life? (I am heavy data user)
What do you guys dislike about it? (If there is any)
I am heavily considering this phone or the HTC One.

I picked up my second S4 this weekend. I've tried many phones around this price range, and this is by far the best option imo.
