Was the best phone of 2013. Still one of the best phones out there. My phone never heats up so who ever got a faulty phone just get it repaired.

AnonD-267983, 28 May 2014Yup mate you said right. Performance is better for sure.
... moreI already mentioned in my comment about the heating. It will get better over time. And the best remedy of all the problems is an s-view cover. Just try it, S-view cover is great.
if you use the s-view cover, you'll feel a lot lower heat as it is thicker. Additionally, it protects the camera which is protruding now. The heating will be gone when the summer goes. Don't worry about it.
Regarding charging, i'm not an ideal person to enlighten you but i usually charge when battery is below 5% and take it to 100%. That may not be iseal but it hasn't given me any problems.
Oh and please purchase a class 10 UHS-I sd card. They are also called as PRO or ULTRA sd-cards. They have premium card speeds and ideal for capturing high quality photos and full HD videos.
Have a nice day

I was worried about it but now it is much better than before.
So your suggestions about the battery life really made me feel better. At least now I can say thanks :)
One more question buddy,
I can see a little heating right down the camera or I can say just at the flash and the compartment of micro sd and sim card ,I hope its normal and will be fixed in weeks.
It's much in the sd card and it is a SanDisk 16 go micro sd card.
And one more thing that what is better?
1 . charge after total battery drained

It's good to know that those solutions for heating worked. The heating will reduce over time when the phone firmware and the apps stabilise and summer goes away. Yes, summer affects a great deal in heating. If the ambient temp. is 42 degrees, phone will tend to cross 47 -48 on the inside. They will even improve over time.
Additionally, you would have noticed the performance boost you got from the 0.5x changing of animations in developer options. The kitkat( android 4.4.2) is even faster but i don't recommend to update to that.
Regarding the battery life, don't do anything. Use the phone normally. Just dont enable those smart stay, smart scroll and other useless features without using them as they drain battery. If you want to use them enable from 2 finger swipe of notification area, use them and turn them off. Switch off GPS, mobile data and wifi when not in use.
The battery life will increase in a week or so. So no need to worry there. The initial charges last less.
Don't use any battery saving apps. The power saving mode is enough.
You'll notice in a week that your battery life will be tripled and that too on general use with 3G on, brightness medium and with a normal wallpaper.
Just enjoy and explore your phone and don't worry too much if it heats or drains battery during the first week. It's normal.
Have a nice day

I already got r... moreWhat I have done from my side are,
1 using a black wallpaper.
2.Using power saving mode most of time.
3.using lowest screen brightness.
4.time out of screen is lowest.
5.i charged it fully after the complete battery emptied. (Pl also give some tips about charging)
Any recommendations for battery saving and does it really works?
This is my first Android phone. I am well aware of the battery back up in android phone, but I think it can perform better.

Hey subham ,
I just got my s4 yesterday.
I already got reason to say thank you, your reply to ddaz(or like that) about the heating issue solutions worked for me.
So thanks a lot.
But I have problems related to battery back up. As much I observed in only one day is that the phone stands perfectly for all said features and I just love it.
But the battery goes 1%(almost) in a minute. However the standby time amazed me.
I am on 4.3 jellybean.
I would be very thankful if you give me few tips to make it better.

Note 3 is better than s4.
S4 is better than all the rest of samsung phones.
So yes, note 3 is better but if you have budget, go for galaxy s5.

parv, 27 May 2014S4 or note 3 neo ? confused.....S4 is in every way better than note 3 neo. Note 3 neo is a mid range device whereas s4 is a flagship.
S4 has :
Better screen ( 1080p )
Better chipset/processor
Better camera ( 13 MP vs 8 MP)
It's also cheaper.
Note 3 neo has just 2 advantages:
s-pen
slightly better battery life ( 74 hrs vs 69 hrs)
So choose wisely
