Posted via RS Mobile | If you're not on 4.3 yet, I would try custom roms now before updating the official 4.3.
4.3 has the Knox security bootloader update. From what I've gathered it's a pain in the ass, since it will flag your device as custom on a bootloader level after you use a custom firmware. It will then prevent you from going back to a stock samsung firmware.
On 4.2.2 there is the custom flag, but there are ways to get rid of it and go back to stock.
I made the jump to avoid the whole 4.3 Knox deal and installed the Goldeneye firmware. It's pretty much a lightweight version of 4.3 Touchwiz with all the features, but without most of the crapware. I mainly stuck with Touchwiz because I like the Samsung camera functions, which are not available on stock android.

so I might pull the trigger on the S4 from rogers because I have a hard ware upgrade of $50 and the phone is only $50.
It is the 16GB version, is this the only version of the s4? I dont watch much videos with my phone so I think it should be enough
I am upgrading from a blackberry so I think the s4 should be a faster phone when using the internet right?
Samsung noob here

My first s4 had a faulty camera and would get blurry pictures, the new one is amazing.

I have S Planner and Google Calendar App (GCA) installed. I have set up permissions between my phone and my wife's phone to share calendars. Whenever I put an entry in, my wife's phone would get synced and updated with my calendar. However, when my wife puts in an entry, my S Planner and GCA does not update/sync. Nor will it show past entries of hers. Anyone able to shed some light? My wife has an iPhone and i have S4.

My touchscreen is no longer responsive after installing a new Xtremeguard screen protector, so I did what any logical person would do after, and promptly removed said protector. Touchscreen still doesn't work though.... Guess I need to take it in. If I take it back to the store I bought the phone from, would they just send it off to the Samsung repair centre? Would I be better off taking it to the service center myself then?

has anyone experienced "camera failed" on their phone? I just got mine a few days ago and when i go to my camera, the screen is black and lags when you want to select options
There is a button for a 2 way camera, the camera facing yourself works fine but the one on the back does not operate
I've cleared the cache and data and tried re-booting and resetting it but they all dont work
possible defect or lemon phone? ordered it from Rogers call center
