Hi everyone,

anyone using the s view cover but the flip cover doesn't close tightly to the phone itself? I thought they have some magnetic stuff on the flip cover and the top of the phone so that the flip cover and phone can attach together.

I wondering if it is the matt screen protector that i put on the phone that causes this...

Don' think it's supposed to close nicely. You can watch Youtube reviews...

anyone got difficulty activating airview? i put my finger hover above the screen v long still nth happen leh. is there something wrong with mine...

Initially I had the same problem as well. Then I found out that beside activating Air View, you can go deeper one level to activate the preview of info etc.

Go Settings --> My Device --> Air View (Not to choose on/off, but select the setting) --> Information Preview set to On.

Try it.

Better to trade in or sell at HWZ Marketplace, then go get the S4

Anyone can confirm the sound chip that is used in the S4? Still Wolfson?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Processors: Exynos 5 Octa Superior To Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, According To Antutu Benchmark
Reports indicate that the Snapdragon variant of the Galaxy S4 will make up 70 percent of Galaxy S4 handsets available in its initial release. Samsung is expected to ship 10 million handsets primarily, with the Snapdragon variant going to America and Europe while the Exynos variant will go to Asia and Africa. Eventually, some countries like Poland, Germany and the UK will receive the Exynos variant after the initial Snapdragon release. Consumers in countries providing only the Snapdragon variant should be able to buy the Exynos variant from overseas after a time, though rumors suggest that some carriers won’t support software updates for the undesignated version.

Hi guys, anyone can answer my following questions?

- When you first bought the phone, does it show the setup wizard? If I remember correctly when they opened it at Singtel, it did not show me the setup wizard but goes to the main screen rather quickly. Everything was shrinked wrapped properly though but I forgot to check the seal :( Also, does the default screen plastic come off easily? Cos when they handed me to test it came off damn easily.

I hope mine is not a return unit! Cos I realise the home button feels a bit weird. Maybe someone returned it?

telcos do open it before hand iirc to install their useless bloatware apps ;)

You don't have to be worried about that at all. Just flash the latest ROM available by devs at xda forums. Welcome to android.

Okay that's good.

Anyway, is the sticky home button a common occurrence? When I press the left side of the home button, it feels weird. It doesn't have that 'click' feel but instead feels as if I can press the whole button down...

On the middle and right side of the button it feels fine however... Can anyone test to see if they have the same problem on their phones? :\

Also, one more thing, anyone got the WatchON app to work with their aircons and hi-fis yet? Can't seem to add such devices. So much for its advertised capability...
