I had the same issue with my S4 i9505. It kept on freezes every day, sometimes twice or thrice a day. What I did was erased some of my phone internal memory, uninstalled few unnecessary apps and turned off Google location reporting. It had solved my problem. It has been few days now and phone is working flawlessly. Especially that Google Location Reporting feature was draining my battery alot. Now battery time has improved and I can use my phone for 30 hours with ease.

Well, I'm into now past my second week of using this beautiful phone. The battery life has improved a little now allowing me to juice it for a whole day. So far I've seen no negative issue yet, it's been truly a pleasant phone to use. I guess one has to see the priorities when purchasing a smartphone. I am happy with the richness of the 5 inch screen, my priorities are a good cam, a good listening experience, both of which the S4 provides generously and a removable battery. The LTE too is another big bonus in our ever demanding world of communications. Though the S4 feels solid and well built, it being such a good phone to own and use, a good fold up cover, plus a good quality screen protection will assure that this phone will provide you for a long time dependable and trustworthy service. In all honesty I can only recommend it as an excellent phone, still top notch in ever sector.

After my bad experience in Samsung Galaxy S4, the unit get extremely hot and the battery become swollen, I changed the battery twice from Samsung dealer in period of 4 months, and even charging time on USB is very very slow.Also MMC issues every time I connect my mobile to laptop the laptop hang than I discover that the problem is from the MMC.
Therefore I don’t recommend any body to buy Samsung mobile phone and waist their money, there is a lot of other brands 100 times better than Samsung mobile like HTC one LG G2 Xperia Z2, this is my advice after experience.

Get S4 and flash with Cyanogenmod. You will never use back Samsung UI. Try it.

I purchased this phone a few days ago. In my family we've already got a few Samsung phones in use, but as far as I am concerned this is my first one. I've been using Nokia, HTC, BB, Motorolla and Sony for quite a while, all of them great phones, but now I can say that I am truly pleased with my S4. It's very fast, butter smooth, seamless and a pleasant phone to have around. Maybe the battery is not the most durable I've seen but overall I simply cannot fault it in any way. I will definitely recommend it as a good buy.

Not sure if you wrote "Kies" by mistake but you'll need Odin to flash a stock firmware and after you do this the camera app should be back.
If you know how to root a phone then flashing a stock firmware shouldn't be hard, you can't do any damage unless you check the wrong options in Odin, interrupt the process or flash a wrong file.

The phone is absolute beast. android kit kat. everyhting run smooth. no lags. display are great and high quality. but it looks and feel cheap with all the plastic. I dont know if it just me, but most of the "S" function are not actually practical. i ended up turning it all of. the s voice, smart pause, smart stay, air gesture, air view etc. Its kinda useless. but hey, overall it is a great phone. its just a matter of personal preferencess.
ps: this premium phone, doesnt look THAT premium to me.

People from all over the world.
I had 2 brand new SD-cards killed by my GS 3 international version. Never did nothing to the phone and whenever Samsung sent updates I did them. My both cards Kingston 64gb, class10 are killed and I am afraid to buy another one , so I go without card.
Why don't we all get together on one website or somewhere and sign a petition and make a complain to force Samsung to call back all our S3, S4...etc. phones that kill cards if this is a hardware problem or to release a update if is a software problem.
There are thousands of people on many forums having problems with this same matter but Samsung is just ignoring us one by one and every time they say they never hear of this problem, or they blame the card manufacturers.
Maybe the card manufacturers can support us on this because they ma be tired to keep exchanging cards for free because Samsung cant make a product right and don't want to fix their problem. Or they can actually come and support us with some study by their technicians that can actually prove this.
Dumb people that come to this forums and claim strong that: " this is your card fault, maybe you buy non brand, maybe is fake, or is user fault" without any technical knowledge or any study but they come to talk just so they can look important or just so they can contradict someone ....please stay out because soon will be happened to you also ...soon.
I was thinking to buy t=he new S4 black edition since I did not like the new S5 they came out with but after reading this forums I think I will wait for LG G3 to come out , I think is more promising phone. Forget this ignorant people from Samsung and their phones. No wander their stock exchange go down day by day.
Awaiting for solutions and actually someone do something then mass e-mail all members that participate on all this forums.
