hello .. wanted to kno if s4 i9500 is also 4g or not ???
m in india n got s4 i9505 from uk but its motherboard got damaged by mistake .. so went to samsung ppl n they said the motherboard will cost 13000 rupees for i9505 model but when they repaired they gave me i9500 :| which i realised after a month :|
so wanted to know if i got into a loss ??
like m planning to complain about them ...
according to me 9505 is better but needed expert opinion like if 9500 is also 4g then no prob
I see here that it is market dependent:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php
But I think the i9500 is a 3G version.
The biggest difference is that the i9500 has 2 cpus (not working both at the same time) and a different gpu
thanks for the reply .. think it is 3g n not 4g :|

Anyone has tried the International galaxy s4 I9500 in the USA and if so please tell me about the Internet speed . Is it picking up 4g , or 3g speeds and how good is the speed !
Is it worth it to buy the I9500 version and use it in the USA ?
Thanks in advance
Hello guys,
I'm heard from various sources that I-9500 with octa -processor not support 4G (LTE).
Now i want buy I9500 from ebay: //cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190834430042
Seller wrote in description that this phone (I-9500) compatible with 4G (LTE). This is sounds realistic? Or it is mean that phone will work in 4G but with transfer speed of 3G?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
The I9500 does not support LTE.

This one is cheaper but is an i9505 (quad core)
So far, the only Octa LTE SGS4 is from Korea. The model is not I9500, but SHV-E300S

Thanks guys for answers, now i understand on ebay it is just marketings tricks.
please help and answer about what you know.. thanks
1) i heard then exyos 5 chip does support LTE 4G in korea version, and the exact same chip is installed in i9500 international version so there may be a chance that LTE will be enabled using rooting features or something?
2) do you know a good store or something in Europe (if you have in Italy it would be much better) from where I can buy GALAXY S4 I9500 version with 650$-750$(max). (looking for 16GB version)
3) do you know where can I buy extended battery for S4 (at least 3,000 mah) and I hope it wont be needed special case or something.. im looking for a good battery but not too big.. I dont know if there are already good batteries, or its still early to ask
4) there is NO fm radio in S4?
5) what is the download speed for S4 (i9500) using 3G network? is it better than S3 although its still 3G and not 4G ?
Galaxy s4 development questions:
2) there will be AOKP based rom or good roms for s4 or its still too early to talk about it?
3) do you think there will be clean- android rom (without samsung stock design) PLUS full customization like s1-3 have ?
4) I wanna buy galaxy s4 soon but im afraid..there are great roms for S1 (like AOKP) .. i hope there will be stable+fast roms with a lot of features.. i wanna enjoy my phone and NOT like s1 (because good roms for s1 came 1 YEAR after i bought it.. hope it wont be the same with S4)
BOOST AND OVERCLOCKING:
5) i never realized that.. why would simple developers make "boost" to the SD CARD, RAM ect.. and not samsung?
my father says never overclock or something because Samsung does its best and if you boost something, it hurts something else.. is that true?
6) do you think there will be good and optimistic Overclocking+ boosting features for S4?
7) I heard a new linux kernel has been released .. will it be used in Android 4.3? do you think it will boost s4 performance?

I see that no one answered you. Personaly, I have searched for 3 weeks the same information, and I don't find anything useful. I will try to answer you as much as I can:
1/Since no one has acquired the Korea version(or a very little group), we don't have much information on this model. And there isn't any information about the LTE in I9500. It is more a hardware question than a software question, I don't think a little rooting will change this.
2/I live in France. I bought mine on Ebay, since the guy has good feedback and has a lot of I9500 in stock. I first ordered on valuebasket.fr, but this scammer siteweb just make me waiting and waiting, 7-10 days before shipping, and 7-10 days for the shipping. So I just cancled. I also tried on Negri Electronics, but they are out of stock too. IFinally I go to ebay and find the seller who sells 530 euros (700 dollars) + 36 euros (45 dollars) fedex shipping fee. It will arrive early next week.
3/Dude, an extented battery will make your phone bigger for sure, there is no doubt. You cannot get both...
4/No fm radio, but who cares...On the one hand, almost nobody listen to radio nowadays, on the other hand, we can litsten to radio on a lot of siteweb if we want.
I cannot answer your developpment question. Hope these can help you.
AOKP and CM roms for the I9500 will be slow to arrive due to the non-open source nature of the Exynos chipset. This is one area where the I9505 holds the advantage with it's Snapdragon architecture as shown by the fact there is already a CM10.1 release available.
You will get them eventually though.

You can't really get an answer to that since the speed depends on your area.

But you'd have to make sure the network bands are compatible with your telco.
Personally, I'd recommend the I9505. Where I live, I get 40mbps LTE and there's plenty of Dev action here. We already have CM!

The korean supports any network and you recieve an external chrger for the battery and another battery i think.
i had the i9500 and he was Great but im still not sure...
The lte doesnt matter because in my country we are still not supporting LTE until 2015 or something like it ( i live in israel )
what about the htc one? havent tried it yet...
whats the best phone available ?

Um, no. The E300S/K/L all use different bands that are used by SKT, KT, and LG respectively. That's was the reason why I couldn't import one to Singapore. If the bands are compatible with your telco, you might wanna wait for the E330S (Snapdragon 800!!)
If LTE doesn't matter, then still get the I9505.
And as to the matter of which is the best phone, that is an old argument. As always there is no answer. Go compare the features of different phones: whether you want the waterproof xperia z, the sexy One, or the feature packed S4. They're all good choices. Good luck!

I have the I9500 and works great.... we dont have LTE though (Costa Rica) so there is no need of the other models
im talking about performance, whats the best?
about the E330s i cant use it.. i need HSDPA (3G) 850,2100 and it doesn't support.
im in a huge dilemma and i dont know which one to buy...
The HTC one wasnt launched on my country so i havent used it yet.
really i dont know what to do, i loved the GS4 but maybe ill love the HTC one more?
ill be in Hong Kong next month and i need to decide by then.
dont know what to do...
P.S - in Hong Kong they're selling all of the GS4 variants and all the variants of each phone.

Hey everyone!
I purchased an S4 yesterday from a guy on Craigslist. This S4 does not have any type of branding on it at all, so my guess is that it is the international unlocked S4. The About Phone section says it is a GT-I9500, baseband version is I9500XXUAMDK.
I took it to MetroPCS today (which ride off of T-Mobile towers) and activated the device onto their network. However, I am stuck on EDGE!!
I do not know what to do. It has been quite some time since I have been working with Android phones. Any help is greatly appreciated.

actually, u r in the wrong forum. this is the S4 Active forum and not the S4 forum.
by the way, i9500 is not lte enabled. the international lte version is i9505.

Is it? Baseband version and model number are legit ... this is the international exynos variant s4
Also according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies
MetroPCS uses CDMA/EVDO tech for data ... while the i9500 which u have supports only gsm bands and HSPA+ for data ...
That's why u are stuck on edge/2g

Yeah, I ran a test with an app in the play store that detects. It has less than 1GB of RAM and only 720p video. The camera quality kinda sucks too.
MetroPCS teamed with T-Mobile, so they should be on HSPA+ now. That is why I took the "S4" there.

Sorry to hear about the fake s4.
I hope you didn't pay exorbitantly
It would be nice if you could post a few pictures of the fake s4 and its software ( details and Ui )
For my curiosity and to help other people find out fakes.
Thanks.
