    [deleted post]Maybe you bought it from a fake shop selling china copy apple products. It's very rare for people who bought iPhones that are complaining such complaints.

                Anyone who have used it please tell me will this thing get scratches if I use it rough???

                Also how is the video recording quality. Most of the people are complaining about its video.

                I am not going or Note 3 as it doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Once I buy a phone I dnt change it for 10 months also I dnt use any sort of casing to protect my phone.

                So should I buy this thing???? My needs are:
                Non scratch able Display
                One day (20 Hours) battery backup

                        Let's say for instance that Samsung finish an update on 01/11/13. They then have to send the update out to each carrier in each country for approval. The carrier installs the update and then tries it out for let's say 2 weeks. Then the carrier reports back to Samsung on 15/11/13 and wants an alteration to the Firmware. Samsung have rewrite the Firmware and then send it out again. 2 weeks later the carrier reports back to Samsung approving the Firmware (now 28/11/13) and it gets released.
                        You moan about the slow update on your laptop. It's your connection at fault, not Samsung's problem.
                        My OTA update took less than 30 minutes. The file size is 1.6Gb, what do you expect on a laptop.
                        I downloaded a backup the Firmware for my own use. Now, I have a 60Mb Broadband Fibre Optic connection and that download took about 20 minutes (it took that long because it was a busy time of day).
                        Stop blaming everyone else.

                              Hi everyone, did anybody encounter the same problem with me? my phone all of a sudden lost data connection while browsing the internet. it says insert sim card and no mobile signal at all. i left it with samsung service center and was advised it's gonna be investigated for a week or two. i tried using a new simcard still no signal. i got it from Smart Mobile from the philippines and was just using the phone since july 23. I feel so bad i had to stick up with a phone for a 2 yrs in a contract that had been repaired after a month of use.

                                    My battery drains so fast after updating it to the latest version and downloading apps even with minimum use and features off. I was disappointed but I read an article to reset the phone for better battery life. Woala! Mine lasts more than a day. Good job s4! Nice phone if u want a bigger screen.

                                        Thanks for your suggestion. One of the (many) times i came home with my unit from the service center (the unit was reformatted and the software was reinstalled) i made sure it was running the most recent android version and used it as is (without syncing it with my google account and apps or installing any apps). After a couple or so days, the unit still auto shut off.

                                        I really wish it were just app incompatibility...
