Hello good S4 users. I'd like to ask a couple of question on it.
As looks like this is the best option in my country (Peru) for an on-contract upgrade I'd like you to tell me:

1. How much RAM is available after a reboot? Both when you just bought it and after you personalized to your needs, please.

2. How many of the apps running after the reboot are from Samsung "bloatware" and how many are apps you want them running (i.e. Set CPU profiles, Email, Directory Bind, etc)?

3. How much RAM are using the heaviest ones of such apps?

4. If I decided to flash the Google Play version (stock Android) of the S4, would I loose the key cool features of it (i.e. Multiwindow, Eyetracking, etc)?

5. How much RAM is available after a reboot in a Google Play ROM version?

These seem to be my main concerns about the S4. I find it quite cool. I hope you guys can help me with these questions.
Thank you in advance.

- L.

Pd: The HTC ONE is also available for the upgrade. Any recommendations? Thanks!

You only have to buy one and use it if you want or need to storage more media (videos, movies, mp3, etc) also get it if you like playing Gameloft games like Modern Combat 4, etc which are quite heavy (almost 2GB of data). Otherwise you can live without it. But I'd advice you to get one. A Sandisk Class 10 microSD Card of 32 or 64GB will be the best you could buy.

      I cant update my s4 again since the first auto update it keeps on telling me I have the latest update installed. Could it be because of formating my phone.
