[GALAXY S4] BUG THREAD!! Found a bug?

[Paul627g]

Everyone hates bugs! No not the type you splat, squish or run from and scream I'm talking about hardware or software related bugs. So here is the thread to report, discuss and attempt to resolve them within. Try and include which carrier/region specific phone your posting about so everyone understands which your referring to.

Screenshot are worth a million words so if possible provide them along with any other important info.

Enjoy!

i know previous galaxy phones dint support exFAT format on sd card
will gs4 support it?

 

[madlaw1071]

Hello Everyone, Having used my New S4 for now 4 hours, only problem occured to me is slight temperature on the top end of the phone.
Is anyone else is experiencing the same. if so please update others..

Happened to me too but I'm pretty sure it was all the initial syncing with contacts and everything. It's all fine now

S3 supports exFat, so S4 will as well.

Yes, I think it was initial sync too. Now its completely ok.
Battery is good.( its one first charge cycle. it will get better after 3-4 full charge.)
Display is awesome. I kinda feel it better than S3 (Sensitivity & Brightness.)
No Freeze or crashes so far. Played new Iron Man game for nearly 30min.
Not used to all fancy features yet like smart pause,scroll n all. Air gesture will take bit practice, but handy to answer the phone without touching the screen.
Myself, after using Iphone for 3 years, this is my first switch to android phone. n so far, no complains. totally new experience.
Hope all gets their delivery of S4 on time.
Cheers to everyone.

I guess the 'Air Features' don't o sell sometimes.
Such as checking the time when the device is off, may not work as expected.
I've also heard that TouchWiz UX 2.0 isn't really optimized greatly, yet.
Such as it delaying input, its not a slow device, just the optimization with the software.

These aren't bugs, but would like to point it out.

Not to mention secondhand speculation from someone who doesn't have the phone. Really, what's the point of even posting that?

I have a question, not sure it's a bug or not, or just me doing something wrong.

When I had the note 2 and I went on a website and downloaded a font I was able to use it... but with the S4, went to the same site to download the same font.. I could see it when I go in my settings to change the font, but when I press OK to select it.. it says "Font not available"

Does S4 support different file type? (the font was .apk)

 

[jackdubl]

Just for note.
You are right, it isn't a bug, but I did imply that in the end of the post.
Some people may be interested in how the gestures work.
People might be interested if the software is well implemented in Android. As it might improve.

I think most would rather hear it from someone who actually has the phone is what he was saying. And he's right, by the way.

Ive experienced lag between home screen and app drawer, and the camera crashed.
I've had the phone for 2 hours.

I just tried to use the keek app. And realized the videos are distorted green with lines. I tried recording in app as well as on the camera and upload but it still looks like this. Anyone else experiencing this?

The camera is working fine though but only noticed this happening in the keek app.

Any ideas?

Could be due to the screen resolution .. Not too many apps support 1080P...yet

Could be Samsung paying people to bash Samsung. Punishment for their little HTC stunt.

The WatchON app, especially the updated version, works only with the initial device you set up (TV/Projector). Any subsequent devices you add asks you to tap the button below--but there is no button to tap at all! Original version did not have this issue.

Also, supposedly I should be able to add my own stereo and stuff. But the only options I see are TV, DVD Player, AV Receiver, Streaming Device and something else. No option for stereos at all. Feeling very disappointed at this supposedly 'killer app'

Experiencing blackout on my phone. My phone exits to screen saver mode and will be stuck there for 5 seconds or more.
Can still switch on and off but will stay on that screen saver for 5 seconds.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks.
