Quick question which dragon are you using?

I feel the same. For me the major issues are:
- Voice recognition is very flawed. If there is any noise or Wind or anything it doesn't work. When it does work it will do all sorts of stupid things.
- Battery life is a joke. I rarelly use the phone, maybe once or twice a day and the battery is dead before the day is over despite the fact I have it set to low battery consumption and even added the defender app to reduce usage. Now what I do is I turn everything off (GPS, Wifi, ect) so that I can end the day with about 10% power. That is totally unaceptable. My iPhone 3gs which is 4 years old lasted 2 days with much higher usage. I am scared to do anything on the phone because I know it will die on me before the day is over.
- Only 8 gb of usable memory on the phone? OMG! Then you buy an SD card to find out the phone can't really use it. Won't let you use it for Apps and if you put media on it you need to find work around to play them because the Music app won't recognize it.
- And my lastest issue, after about a week of having the SD card in the phone, my Galaxy S4 thinks the card is empty. My PC can see all the files but the phone can't.
I have never seen such a bad product. I purchased it because my friends are Android fans and they convinced me that Apple was outdated. After looking at the specs of the S4 I was convinced they were right. Well, you know what, this phone might have 2 quad core processors, but it's slower than the iPhone 5. It lags on pretty much everything it does, you simply don't feel the speed. Those processors are very good at one thing though: Killing you battery.
Once my contract is over I will go back to Apple and NEVER purchase an other Android phone again. The user experience is aweful.
I know for a fact u had a bad unit.

I definitely concur with you!
My first Galaxy S4 had a very, very bad battery life, and the main camera was off center!
I returned it 6 days after I got it.

Haven't you read this forum? No S4 has any lag. /s

Yup. And, posts on a forum are a great source of data. Solid scientific stuff. Better than actual experience, by far.
The fact that this poster is having problems that basically don't exist should be a clue as to how rock solid that is.

And, focusing on trying to convince us that their is a problem none of are having subverts the entire direction of things.

From what I have seen repeatedly on this board, users will have some problem like lag and then there is some basic solution that they need to implement. Surprise, surprise they then have the same nice experience the rest of us are having.
