Get the iPhone 5. It's a major update from the 4S. If you are a heavy texter then stick with apple. If you care more for Internet browsing and multimedia then the Samsung Galaxy S2 might be a good fit because of the bigger screen and external SD.
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 32 GB Model

And with s4 is there any version numbers I should be aware of? I do have root experience but I know most of us are like this with a new phone. I also started to do my reading Thanks. Kole

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

You know your rooted when....

I saw this on another thread and thought it was funny so I'll start this out....
You know your rooted when you take your sII to a Sprint store, to get the sIII, and forget there is a live kernel boot animation on it.

You are, you have been here for a while.
This belongs in the [Want to sell] Section. If you don't SEE that section, it is because you need more posts in order to dell/trade things here

holy crap people, click the little report button and move on. thats how the mods get notified of something you belittling him fixes nothing
Looks like rules are so hard to understand.
or written in some different language OP cant understand.
As it's already been stated, this is the wrong section.
You can't see the right section because you don't meet the minimum requirements for the MP fora. (Have a look at the forum rules for the exact requirements)

Update to MF3 or stay at MDL?

Been out of the game for a little bit due to a broken s4 but my question tonight is should I just stay at Rooted MDL or update to MF3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Don't do it
I STRONGLY recommend for you to stay at MDL, because as of this moment, there is no bootloader unlock for MF3, so that means no custom ROMS or kernels, unless you want to use SafeStrap. If custom ROMS don't matter to you, update. But remember, if you get TWRP, you can always flash an MF3 ROM and get it, while keeping your bootloader unlock. Try it. If you don't need custom ROMS and other cool stuff, update.
Lol just read about it and I defiantly do not want to update thanks for the help. So I'm safe to use any rom in the development section
