does the S4 have ... like the S3 did? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, just a few quick, probably simple questions, anyone who's played with or has been watching videos could answer. I've been using custom/modded roms so long i don't even know what's stock features and what's custom haha.. (╥__ ╥╬)..
sooo question 1; does the S4 support long pressing volume up/down to skip tracks forward/backwards? if so does the headset also support it?
q2; does the camera have all those parental controls cockblocking when you can and can't open the camera app? like below 15%, during music, in call, as well as mandatory focus and shutter sounds that can't be muted?
q3; what's the charging rate on this thing? my S3 charges at 1.2A on both AC, and USB
q4; uhh anything else i should know that i didn't think of? lol
ill add 'Thanks' to anyone with answers/feedback ^^

No long pressing Volume does not skip with stock Music App... Headset is supported with the original Headset!

Increasing Volume on Phone (Speaker and Headpones)

Hey,
I had SGS3 before Nexus 4 and the volume on that was low, so you could increase it with Custom Roms and / or custom kernels so the speaker and headphones volume was much louder.
Anyone know whether something similar will come for NExus 4 as it's a tad quiet, althought the music quality is better than SGS3 in my opinion.
Cheers.

Read the description of the app before suggesting it.
This Application is ONLY for phones running Gingerbread.
It will NOT work on any other version of Android but should work on ANY phone running Gingerbread (2.3).

I wont
and the paid version works fine for me
Thanks for the replies.
The Volume+ App doesn't work so I guess I will just wait to see if a kernel comes out that works with volume boosts.
Cheers

Sound Enhancement

Does anyone have a way to boost the sound on this phone? Even turned all the way up, it is not very loud when listening to native music player or Pandora. Its great with the head phones but I set it on the table and listen while I cook and clean.
This is why I wish clark44 would bring his freegs rom over here. In that rom he had mod that would increase the volume by 40% percent. Hopefully someone here will make a mod for it soon
I love the 90s. Good times.

Faux released a kernel for the sprint gs4 that's compatible with his speaker loudness and amp control app on the playstore.

Anyone know of a ROM with...

Hold volume up to skip track while screen is off? I know also has it but I'm wanting a touchwiz room for now.
I've tried a few but it appears this mod doesn't exist on our device yet.

Not yet, as far as I am aware.
Xposed framework theme and apps section read it carefully to see what you have to do

Why not just get some nice earbuds with playback controls? I got some black OEM Samsung earbuds with 3 button playback controls (and mic), great sound too. Earbuds in ear plugged into phone, phone in my messenger bag little crevice on the side and all i do is double tap "play" button on earbuds to skip track or play/pause and volume up and down to change volume. Never have to reach for phone to do anything.
The only ROMS i've ever seen with what you're looking for were CM and AOKP ROMS, no TWiz..

Must have missed it, then. When i had the S3 (a while ago now) i only saw it on AOKP.
I think what devoured said is your best bet. When i had Xposed it didn't quite work though. Although it did start up stock music player.

[Q] Anything to increase the volume of bluetooth?

I remember on my GSII I had some cheap rocketfish bluetooth headphones and I remember getting an app, or a flashable zip (rooted) and was able to increase the volume so much on the rocket fishes, my ears felt like they were going to bleed, lol
I have the backbeat 2's and they are awesome for the price (didn't want to spend for the jaybirds) but it could use a tad more volume, nothing crazy, just a little.
Is there anything out there? an app maybe?
thanks

You have probably already done this but there is a separate bluetooth volume control that, for me that I know of, can only be increased with the volume rocker switches when the music is actively being played.
lol come on!!! really?? where is everyone

I would like to speak about the new funtionality, bug, and change.
For me now all works fine, I need to conplete test.
Only thing it's really orrible is the new Home with a too big icon. I can't see that.
What about speakers volume? Its louder or lower? Has the quality improve?
Thanks
You who already have this update could post pictures for us users of the D6543 (Brazil) version, because it will take too long to get to us. .
Ultra Stamina, works well?
I heard about a bug in the google bar? Proceeds? Pictures please.
Thank you

worked on the first try for me. However, it was a little bit laggy. Had the graphics quality on High but it's definitely not because of my network since I have Gigabit and professional hardware (Switches and Access Point).
Speakers volume seems to be the same as before

have you unlocked bootloader? if yes do you have ta folder backed up???
If your notifications seem quiet, use the volume button, in volume settings it can be on max and sound quiet, but if you use volume on home screen it will increase. I think it's tied to media volume for some reason. Heard peoe say about camera viewer lag and tried 4k video, got 9:30 recorded and phone was barely warm. Couldn't record longer as ran out of storage. I think they have done something to the viewfinder that stops the phone overheating. Before I couldn't get more than 7 minutes.
Any changes in the camera department?
