I think the Samsung coming one is based on 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 which are not stable. I have 5.0.2 on my Nexus 7, it's quite bad at 1st until unusual then i factory reset. It's a world of difference but still laggy, then i check youtube for this guy who has 5.1 on his Nexus 7 wifi already. It was so smooth until it's hard to believe it's a 2012 device. I think this coming lollipop firmware update cannot expect too much until the 5.1 release.

if u go developer options, turn off window animation and transition animation, it actually feels quite snappy.
cannot compare to AOSP of course, but I'm quite satisfied with it.

so far it's quite stable for me.
Both the leaked and official version.

Guess I'm too used to aosp after so long, can't get used to touchwiz now. :( Enjoy yours.

Official S4 Lollipop firmware is out (installing now).
It seems that the "mute" function is put back in.

It's black edition. So comes with different wallpaper and startup tone.

can show some screenshot how the black ed looks like?

It's just a black theme meant for the special black color edition of S4 with faux leather back instead of plastic.
Nothing special about the firmware, just different wallpaper for the lockscreen and home screen.
Start up sound is different also.

ref: issue with S4 unable to detect sim card - restart phone" issue mentioned earlier.

having the same issue. very irritating indeed. doing some research online. suspect its the sim card slot problem. neighbourhood hp shop quote me $45 to change both sim card slot and micro sd card slot as the two forms from a single part. if problem persists I will do the repair soon. you can do a youtube search "replace faulty sim card slot".

that depends what u have installed in the phone n how many messages r stored inside. my friend got more than 10 years of messages inside, never deleted any before. another friend likes to keep all app that was installed earlier on

if u have nothing much to begin with, then there is not much difference which phone u use

Eh. U can try searching for janet mobile if u stay in the west. Not advertising for them but just saw many gd reviews on their fb page. Their repair cost quite reasonable. Check it out.

SIC genuine battery for our s4. Did some research online and I'm pretty sure it's legit. Price is cheaper than others too(about $17-23 depending on sale). Any cheaper it's most likely fake. But the desktop charger(a.k.a extra battery charging kit) don't know real or not coz it doesn't come with a battery. Might be from other samsung factories, but buy at your own risk.

Cool. Does it come with the original samsung box? Coz I saw some reviews by those who bought note 2 ones, theirs only got plastic wrapper. Lol. But I looked at their pics and I'd say it's authentic. How's the battery working so far?
