          While I'm in a video call, my face is very out of focus. I can see this and so do the people talking with me: they see me out of focus.

          The front camera seems to be focused at the minimum distance (I tried putting a finger close to the front camera and it is in focus) and there is no way to let it focus elsewhere or on my face. I appreciate the attempt of the device to preserve my reputation, but I don't think it is always the best way to go.

          Please note that this doesn't happen when I use the phone (front) camera outside of Skype.

                      nikitha, 19 May 2014dear frnds....plz suggest me which is best among s4 and s5.... moreHi Nikitha, I am replying only because I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. My priorities rested on a top notch machine that was fast, reliable, good sound, good cam, good 5" screen and at an affordable price. Now three weeks in owning this beautiful machine, I can confirm that till now, I haven't experienced any of the problems seen on this forum. I am mighty glad I purchased this phone. Now about the S5, since it is the direct successor of the highly successful S4, it certainly is an improvement over what is a still very capable machine no matter how one may look at it. So if you want to be the owner of the latest S series, then if money is no object to you, sure, go for it, but if budget is a major consideration, then the S4 would be a wise choice. Anyway please do ask around for more opinions.

Interestingly enough, I signed up free at Sammobile, a very interesting site full of info for Samsung phone. Please have a look at what their firmware section, quite interesting. Cheers.

                              Guys do you believe that moto e is better that Samsung Galaxy S4 bec. Moto e is claiming that thier phone moto e which doesn't have Led Flash, and Autofocus and Secondary Camera and ugly design plus non removable battery is much better comparing to Samsung Galaxy S 4;

                              Performance – Faster In Day to Day Tasks Than A Galaxy S4

                              Delve more deeply into what powers the Moto E and you will find a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with Adreno 302 graphics. This won’t play the latest cutting edge 3D shooters, but is again a major step up from the competition. Most crucial is performance when navigating the operating system and surfing with the web browser is fast and smooth. In fact Motorola has a few stats worth bragging about when it comes to everyday tasks.
                              Compared to a Samsung Galaxy S4, Motorola claims the Moto E is:
                              1.1 seconds faster opening the phone to answer or make calls
                              0.9 seconds faster opening the browser
                              0.4 seconds faster returning to the home screen
                              1.7 seconds faster opening the camera.
                              Admittedly Samsung gets a lot of abuse for the lag on even its high end phones due to its extensive remodelling of Android with its TouchWiz user interface and custom apps, but Motorola sticks the knife in as the Moto E benefits from simply using stock Android 4.4 KitKat. Motorola also guarantees Moto E owners an upgrade to the next version of Android (5.0). Given it updated the Moto X and G to KitKat just 19 days after it came out, the company has a great track record here.
                              Note: the Moto E doesn’t have the Google Now Launcher homescreen (that is currently only available to Nexus and Google Play edition devices) but it can be easily enabled with this simple hack.

                                the best handset samsung ever made like it very much overall its wonderfull and those who are critising samsung for this they do not use this thats why they are posting these type of comments ...........its better than 19500 model because of its battery back up and 4g lte facility and the big thing in that device that you can move apps to sd card in that device which makes this device superior to sony........ i am using this since a month and its running very smoothly and camera is awosome as well as air gestures and amoled display make this device more attractive i suggest you to buy this device instead of s5 because most of us dont need heart rate sensor or a much bigger phone than 5 inches and becasue of its price s4 is cheaper tha s5 so that go for s4 19505 i suggest..........

                                    Hello everybody,

                                    1. When the user is in weak 3G coverage areas, the phone might show a 3G signal but fail to receive calls

                                    2. Users might observe slower download speeds even in good coverage areas

                                    3. You will not be able to do USB tethering on a computer with Mac OS

                                    4. You will not be able to find Flash player application on Google Playstore

                                    5. The phone will convert an SMS to MMS if the user enters more than 1600 characters (10 SMS's)

                                    6. LTE capability of the device is disabled on the phone and the phone will not detect or camp on any 4G network

                                    7. HD Voice is disabled in the software and hence users will not get HD voice

                                    8. Networks issues when users perform a manual network search and select a network other than 3

                                    9. Increased time spent on 2G networks while roaming

                                    10. Flash is not supported by this device, certain websites will not function correctly without Flash.

                                    11. The device will not camp on a 4G network if downloading or streaming started whilst on a H/H+ signal

                                    12. You may observe download failures when the phone is camped on a 4G network and a voice call is made or received from the phone

                                    13. When the customer is roaming outside of the UK and tries to enable tethering on a roaming network, the customer may not be able to browse on their phone and can only browse on the PC or device connected to their phone

                                      AnonD-214768, 18 May 2014did anyone get kitkat update in uae?Hi Rithwig. My S4 came with the latest official Android 4.3 and is a French sim-free model. I live in Beirut-Lebanon, so far when I try to update to Kitkat, Samsung tells me that I am on the latest firmware. If I am not being impertinent, then I would suggest that you wait till the official version is released. Then a gentleman here was asking for advise about purchasing the S4 or the S5. What I can say is this: The S4 is a beautiful reliable phone, no wonder it keeps selling so well. It is still top notch and the price now is within the reach of more people. The decision is yours if you can afford buying the latest Flagship obviously the S4's successor, the S5 is worth your consideration, but if budget is a priority, then the S4 doesn't have much to envy the S5.
