    bada was fast in opening native apps but it was annoyingly fast in rebooting by itself when out of memory.

    by the way i can't remember when i did give u an advice.

      its slow at launching even at basic app

      apple ios always best,

      even my s8530 with crapy abandoned bada can launch basic apps like call keyboard,contact,setting,logs, message much more quickly compared to s4

      inbetween i use badadroid now

              if u have a friend with some knowledge about smart phones let him check your phone.

                  All those people who keep on comparing this phone with the crappy HTC One go to hills...........run 4 ur life trolls. HTC is still running in huge losses while samsung is breaking records. I have the i9500 for 3 weeks now.........even the battery is outstanding compared to de lowlife HTC One.

                    excellent device, the duration of the battery is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S3, I think it depends on the firmware version,
                    only bad thing is that mine came with an IR LED problem of rest is fine

                              Heating problems - some apps are poorly written and threads run/drain down your battery. If having heating problems, close down apps or restart phone to close down apps
