Gt I9500 s4 ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just ordered I9500 off eBay used nice condition. Should be here tomorrow so I figured I'd post a new thread to see what to-do with it. I previously had the s3 rooted, romd sold it got nexus 4 now and this s4 coming. Gonna probably root the s4 but my question is what sweet things I don't know about can I do? I don't know much about this tech so any help would be appreciated. Not looking to get ripped on but have at it. Thanks.

[Q] Should I take this trade?

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket with AT&T. I also have an Acer Iconia A500 10" tablet. Both are rooted running custom ROMS. The tablet is actually running a leaked ICS. I have been proposed this offer. A guy has an upgrade available. He wants to buy me a brand new white galaxy note in exchange for these two devices.
If it were you would you accept the trade?
i'm not saying the Note isn't worth it, but my gut feeling is that you could do a bit better in that deal
rooted/custom roms mean nothing with price. sell them individually and buy new

Sorry!
I meant to post this in the Note for AT&T forum. Sorry!
Thanks for the reply leppo and intruda119!
Can a MOD please delete this thread? Thanks!
You're missing one important thing in your thread. What are the actual state of your note and tablet? Are they almost new? Really old?
If they all are almost new, then you might better sell them individually. If old, then the deal seems good enough for me (brand new Note)

[Q] Why is my s4 slower than my note2?

Traded my note2 for S4 and new phone seems slower. Both rooted with 16gb. Froze and uninstalled many apps. 4.1.2 v 4.2.2. Why?

Because it needs to be updated more
The note 2 was buggy when first released too IMO

No thanks. I've bought several phones off Craig's list and will do it again. Might go for an HTC One next. I'd heard 4.2 wasn't great. Definitely seeing lag in games.
4.2.2 seems to be a problem... S4 has the highest specs on the smartphone market presently so it isn't hardware related at all.. Something in 4.2.2 or Touchwiz is causing the depreciation in performance

The one is fast but isn't worth much so good luck with that. Samsung and apple keep their value.

Galaxy s4 or Galaxy note 2 or optimus G pro

I have a galaxy s4 and have a friend who wants it. He has a note 2 and his wife has a optimus G pro. He wants to trade one of them for the s4. Was thinking about it but does anybody know anything about the other devices. Or are they going to be a bad trade.

Bro trust me keep the s4... I have had the note 2 and the optimus s4 way better

1080p screen is key. I wouldn't touch the Note, but would definitely consider the G Pro.
I agree with tmushtare. Keep the GS4. I have had all three phones as well. The GS4 is superior to the Note II & O-G Pro, + has a higher resale value than the other 2.
The OG pro is nice I was considering it when I bought my S4 ( I had the optimus G) and have had the Note 2.. The only thing I see as better about either is the 5+ inch screen... But for me the 5" screen is the sweet spot.. I get awesome battery life on my S4 and its a good size for my big fingers but it's not so big that I have trouble using it one handed.. Love my S4

I had the HTC One, OG pro, Note 2 and now S4. I had both the I9500 and now the the I9505. To make a long story short keep the S4 or get the Gpro if you like bigger screen. You cant go wrong with either phone seriously but know that the gpro development is pretty much non existent right now . As far as the note 2 it is an incredible device but the Note 3 is right around the corner. I would say keep the S4 for the time being and see what the note 3 is about in a short couple of months.

Thanks for all the replys. I have defiantly have exclude the note 2. Somebody said the gpro had support here but doesn't anymore. If I got it could u root and run custom ROMs?

The G pro development section is a ghost town compared to the s4.. Take a look at the forums and see for yourself lol

I haven't checked any other sites but if any site were to have ROMs and mods and whatnot for OG Pro it would be xda and I just checked again so I don't eat my words there isn't one ROM there in fact there's only like 10 topics in the development section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
OK I took a look and gpro doesn't have that much in it. So if u just run stock then the gpro would be OK. Think I'll stick with the s4. Thanks everybody.

Now if we can get a bootloader unlock for the s4 we would be set.

I tried this G pro when my s4 was stolen. It's heavy to me but 5.5 inch screen. It seemed a tad bit slower not much than s4. I've mainly owned either Samsung or LG devices so I'm used to the difference between them. I just felt less comfortable carrying the Pro. I would definitely use it at home but not out & about. The storage is great 32gb internal with additional sd storage.

galaxy s4 price

would anyone be able to give me a link to where i would be able to buy a galaxy s4 for roundabout 480-$550, as i decided not to go with the nexus 5 since i feel it will have massive battery issues and i cannot find another phone that i would truly like.
I'd consider giving up my S4 for a Nexus 5. Nexus phones are really great.

i know and i love the nexus line to death but honestly it seems as if it's going to have massive battery issues with only 2300mAh and having to power a quad core snap 800 and 1080p screen.
In my opinion, I think 2300mAh battery for the Nexus 5 should be plenty and should last a whole day. Before you go assuming the battery life will be bad or whatnot, let me get my friends opinion. Three of my friends just got the Nexus 5 today so I'll ask them how it is.
Or if you Google "international I9505 S4 "you can buy it completely unlocked for $574.00

As @~wolverine~ suggested, Swappa will be your best bet. They are endorsed by XDA and carry both carrier-based devices, as well as unlocked devices. Though, if your planning on rooting or using custom ROM's you may want to steer clear of the S4 until a breakthrough is made due to the restrictive bootloader. If your insist on the S4 try to find a Google Play Edition, else go with a Nexus 5 in my opinion. - Hope this helps!
I Honestly would give my gs4 up for a straight trade nexus 5 32gb
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Sure I would give up my "ATT" S4 up for a nexus ,but if you like the S4 like I do you have more options like the GT I9505 brand new in the price range your looking for.swappa deals with a more used based type of phone.sure it's cheaper.new sounds good to me
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
look up the local listing on craigslist, you might be able to get it even cheaper. or wait another couple of months and get the S5
