Still using my S3, 4 & 5 didn't seem like that big of an upgrade for me to swap up. But, at the moment I'm waiting for the S6, reading some big changes happening including an earlier release date.

The Note 4 camera reviewed a lot better than the S5 so if they just stick it on there it'll be a big improvement.

Samsung releases phones way to quickly in my opinion. They just released the Alpha and I'm sure the S6 won't be to far behind. Usually comes out a few months after Apple makes a release.

Post your cases for s4.... Bored of my cases as they offer no real protection. These are what I have.

Metal bumper

I have the otterbox commuter. The thinnest otterbox you can get (I think) that offers any 'real' protection.

At first I wasn't a fan, but it's saved my ass on more than one occastion. Most recently while I was hanging xmas light at my parents place, it dropped out of my pocket, waist height onto a concrete paver stone. Not so much as a scratch, and the phone still works great.

Another reason I like it, is for the raised bevel it has around the screen, so you're able to lay the phone screen-down, and not have to worry about messing up the screen.

can anyone recommend someone that can replace my s4 screen and lcd? I've done a few searches and i'm seeing about 220ish for it. Thing is, I have another screen and lcd that just needs to be swapped into the one with the broken lcd.

Do you fancy a little DIY?

Is it the glass on top or the actual display screen that needs replacing?

Here are two helpful guides to DIY:

Samsung Galaxy S4 Cracked Front Glass Replacement

Samsung Galaxy S4 Display Assembly Replacement

Yah i've been watching videos and looked through those links. I think i can manage a DIY. I called a couple of places and the lowest quote I found for a simple swap is $65, $175 if i don't provide the lcd. The actual display LCD is cracked and not the top glass.

edit/update - I did it my self, was fairly easy.

This is common problem with S4
My S4 randomly reboots beucase it can't detect SIM card....
I haven't found any perm fix yet.
I ordered new sim card tray from ebay, only $4 shipped, if that fixes great if not, i'm only out $4...


Anyone know or know place that can fix, let me know

I still like S4, dont want to trash it because of this annoying problem...

thanks

Was using my S3 up until a week ago. Power button is having issues. Looking for a new phone now... I want the S6 but can't wait another 4 months...

Funny thing is the only reason I got the S3 about 3 years ago was that my blackberry power button had issues. Whats with me and power button issues.

Looking at LG G3 but I'm not very convinced that it`ll be good enough. I wish S6 was out sooner.
