[Q] Galaxy S4 i9500 from Amazon

Hello guys, Some sellers from amazon are selling the I9500 at 400 bucks. Would you go for it?
Seems too good to be true, however amazon warranty is awesome, I've never had any issues with bad sellers when ordering through them

Link?

Rooting and flashing roms can be done easily on the i9500 as well.. I have Omega rom (pre-rooted) and a custom kernel on my i9500.
It's just AOSP roms that aren't available yet, but should be soon enough.
So, if you're into flashing AOSP roms and cannot wait for them to be available, or if you really need 4G, get the i9505.
If you like taking picture (or slow motion videos - 720p on the i9500) or want a slightly faster phone, get the i9500.

In that case, you're probably right.

It does seem to be too good to be true but then again like you said Amazon is pretty. Personally I think it should be legit and you should go for it.

a question i never find my phoen anywhere like cyanogenmod.org i only see galaxy s4 at&t and stuff i can't find i9500 or anything
whats my phone?!

Android 4.3 for Non-Google Play Edition S4 Phones?

HI all,
I have an SGS4 which is the NON-Google Play Edition phone, does anyone know as to when the update to version 4.3 will be downloading to these phones automatically? Or does it depend on the carrier or region?
I know in fact that the S4 Google Play Edition will the update to version 4.3 quicker.
Thanks

Depends off each carrier

Is this only for the Google Play Edition S4 phones that will get the update to version 4.3?
I just have the regular default version of Android version 4.2.2 that came when I bought the phone.

I guess no, Samsung keep upgrades in his phones by 2 years so hopefully we obtain android v 5 in our phones, but the installation is carrier decision

Will I still get the update if I use my own WiFi network at home?
So just to confirm, that even if I do not have the Google Play Edition of the S4 will I still eventually get the Android 4.3 update?

You'll get it when Samsung release there touchwiz version of it but at the moment its just the Google edition s4 that its rolling out for.

Hmm ... is it possible to switch to Google Play Edition from Samsung Stock firmware or does this fail because my SGS4 is an I9505?

Guys,we have still Write Protection Enabled! We can't flash the PIT,Baseband,Bootloader so i think OTA Updates are still a dream for us... we have to wait for a Method to turn off this ugly write Protection in Bootloader
BR

So those of us who do not have the Google Play Edition of the S4, we will not get the Android 4.3 update at all?

Until Samsung releases the Touchwiz version for your phone, no, you won't. Eventually they'll release it when they manage to implement all the touchwiz features on 4.3

Ok, I understand now. Thanks for the help on this.

I don't think Samsung will release a 4.3 update anytime soon. Like mentioned they will only use their own touchwiz version. Plus their current version works just perfect, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Alternatively there is a few 4.3 ROMs currently on nightly. And even direct ports for the 4.3 i9505G update so you can run it on your standard i9505.
Don't sweat it. If you want it there are always ways to get it.
Peace.

Perfect? Noooo..I have some problems with it lags and I can read a lot of bugs reported, and the Touchwiz eat a LOT of memory, my nexus 4 with the same installation eat 600mb touchwiz 1.5 gb!

Look at the Galaxy Note 2 it will not get 4.3... but it will get 5.0 and i think Samsung goes the Same way on the Galaxy S4 and yes if anyone needs 4.3 there are a lot of 4.3 Builds out yet (Not Touchwix but good old CM+AOSP) but this is a bit Offtopic:silly:

We get 4.3 after the Note 3 is launched which will come with 4.3 out of the box, hopefully Samsung will do the same for the S4 as they did with the S3 & Note 2 and add some new features from the Note 3.
So the earliest we could see 4.3 on the S4 is around October/November time.

If apps don't work with 4.4 doesn't mean that 4.3 is better.

Maybe this is a silly method,
My N900 was rooted, when I install XXUCMK2 on my N900 and rooted manually via odin, I didn't satisfy with MK2, then I use CWM to reset data and format/system then install XXUCMJ7 via odin and it works well.
I need your comment if my method is correct.
NB : Both XXUCMK2 and XXUCMJ7 were download from sammobile

It's already being discussed in great detail HERE.

Nah, brah. Recording every single call is creepy.
I really doubt someone would add auto-record to a rom...
Have you asked in the Omega rom thread for assistance with the call record function?
