I got a phone direct from Samsung and on the boot screen it states that its a GT I9506. I cannot see anything on this phone? I was told that its a pre production phone.Its running the below
Androd 4.2.2
Baseband I19506XXUAMHA
build number is JDQ39.I9506xxuamha
kernel is [email protected]#1 Tue Aug 13 23:44:23KST 2013
No posts on this phone and its unrooted but don't want to touch it yet as cannot find any info on it?
Anyone here of this and can it be rooted or what options do I have as bloatware I just disabled but cannot install ad aware on it and Adverts driving me nuts and battery consumption bit higher
Thanks

Luck
Consider yourself as happy!
The i9506 has a faster processor than the i9505 and it has LTE+!
If you're unhappy we could change phones :victory:!

I have the same phone I'm in Australia

Here in Germany you can get this new Galaxy S4 LTE+, too. You only get it from Deutsche Telekom (t-mobile). It is really cool! :laugh:

Cool but no tested root until now....

Hi, I was just wondering about the i9506. How do you find it works in Oz? Do you have any problems with it, or would you recommend it? I live on the Gold Coast. I was looking for a 32gb internal i9505 but can't find one anywhere. Any help would be awesome.
Cheers mate.

New Galaxy s4 GT-i9506, what works for this one?

hey,
so i finally decided to get a s4 and happily walked into the GT-i9506 which matched my needs in terms of newest hardware and just being the s4. my question now is:
how can i use custom roms etc., as i couldn't find any useful words about this model.
i know dev support isn't or will not be as good as for the 9505, but is there at least something?
thanks in advance.

[Q] One question about galaxy s4 GT 9506

Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:
Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made ​​me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!
I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you

It is exactly the same device as i9505 with 32gb on board and slightly different camera driver, this is not a big deal stuff to change. I would pay for the latest 4.4.2 CM11 which is stable and working for this device.
Unfortunately the support for CM on S4 not too much

Figuring out which model number my phone is

Hey guys I looked under my battery and on the box and even in the phone it says the model number is SGH-M919 so I am unsure what model the phone is. If it is a i9500, i9505, i9505G or a i9506. Can someone help me so i can figure out what rom to use on the phone. since the 4.4 kitkat update my Tmobile S4 battery life has gone to poo. Any help would be greatful please.

i think s4 have better development
Hi,
If you want newer devices with arm64 processor architecture, A5 is the best for you. You can upgrade it to 5.0.2 Lollipop via OTA for the best experience with arm64 devices.
But, if you end up yourself choosing S4, I suggest you to buy GT-I9505 or GT-I9506, not GT-I9500/GT-I9515. Developments on both devices are harder than in GT-I9505 or GT-I9506.

I never test both devices for real (I don't have both GT-I9505 and SM-A500F (A5)). But, at least, both devices have same battery capacity.
