So you decided to get it? I'm sure you won't regret the decision!

Yes. I decided on the note 2 instead of the sg3. I had the sg3 already but then I saw all of the features of the gn2. I'm use to the size already. I'm just a little embarrassed to hold it to my ear. Lol I'm sure that will change soon.
I love the multi window feature.
I can't wait to root it so I can have more apps in the multi Window.

I came from a GNex as well. With Beans and Nova launcher, this phone feels like a larger version of the Nexus on steroids! :good:
Gotta love these threads that have no depth to them.
I came from the Epic 4G Touch and that phone was a huge brick. This thing is huge and I love it, but not so big that it's a pain to use. Everytime my wife hands me her iPhone 5 to talk to her mom I feel like I am going to drop that little thing.

Congrats! This phone exceeds my expectations I had for it. You know you don't have to root to get more apps in Multiview right? You can just mod the apk/installer of the apps you want it there and install them.
Here's a step by step in case you wanted to know how to do it:

I know the screen of the S4 Active has changed to TFT. How is that compared to the screen on HTC One?
I'm going to look at and possibly purchase the Active today. I will report back with my findings.
So I went to look at it... it took me less than 2 minutes before I decided I had to have it. So I bought it. It is a REALLY nice device, and the screen is nicer than the regular S4's. Compared to the One, the screen is just a hint brighter on full brightness, and pretty much on par with colors. I think the One might be just a tad richer, but that's about it. No doubt, the Active has a gorgeous display. It seems more responsive than the One as well. Definitely happy with my decision.

It's awesome. I like it better than the One believe it or not. It's noticeably more responsive, the screen is amazing, and it doesn't feel anywhere near as fragile as the One. The hard buttons are nice, but will take some time to get used to. The only thing about it is the dialer, man is it hideous.

You're telling me. How anyone can say they prefer the look of Touchwiz over Sense is beyond me. It's really a joke, there is no comparison.

I don't know of who actually likes the look of TouchWiz, but as a Samsung owner myself, I do agree its more ergonomic and has better controls/options than Sense, but Sense is a much better looking UI

That I can agree with. As much as I love HTC phones, the Epic 4G Touch is still my all time favorite Android phone. Being back on a high end Samsung device is nice, reminds me of the glory days

Screen is nice and on par. Battery I have found to be not only better than the HTC one but also the original s4 as well.
That's without using any power saving apps or settings. I'm going to take some photos with both and compare them. I may post them here if anyone is interested however it's cloudy and raining today.

So, it seems thats "4ultra pixel" looks about the same as 8mp active camera, save for the zoom in detail loss.
The charging port bump and the front physical buttons are a definite NO.

Ever heard of the Sony Xperia Z? Hideous buttons on a High-end phone? No thank you. However, the TFT screen does look pretty nice. I'm sure if HTC wanted to make a water resistant device, it would be on par with the Xperia Z and wayyyy nicer than the S4 active.

Selling my One
The screen on the Active is sick. I think it looks better than the One. I might sell my HTC One or keeping it. I'm falling for Samsung once again until the Note 3 comes out in fall.
Just got my S4 Active today...
I really like it much more than the "original" S4...
It just feels much more solid and the screen is beautiful... used it for about 30 min then I sold my HTC ONE
I'm getting ready to switch to Verizon and was interested in this phone, but I keep reading about it having horrible lag. Anyone care to enlighten me with their opinions?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ive yet to see any lag on my phone. But thats because I actually close my apps when im not using them. So unless you forget to actually close out of your apps you wont have any lag
Sent from my Bonestock S4
Every phone has some lag at times. Everyone's definition of lag is different. What I think is minimal could be horrible to someone else. Phones will always lag. Even the note 3 with iys rumored 8 core cpu and 2+gb of ram will lag. It's not all about processing power, it's about a well optimized operating system
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Anyone who has lag doesn't know how to setup their phone.
Just changing the CPU governor greatly effects the phones responsiveness/lagginess. Changing the tunables within those govs will change it also. Kernel settings, ram settings, controlling background app functions all completely change how the phone responds.
For performance and no lag I run mine on fiops or deadline with interactive. Interactive set with high speed freq set to the my highest frequency, go high speed [email protected] 70, min sample at 90,000, and timer rate at 18,000. I also change all the kernel's VM settings so that the system writes it's information more frequently and favors the current foreground app and drops old apps more frequently freeing up memory.
Not great for battery but I experience zero lag.
I don't remember stock settings but typically its set to a happy medium with ondemand and cfq. With low ideal frequencies/sync frequencies.

Oh yeah. They seem like good phones. I'll never own one simply because, well, who has one? Which means mediocre at best developer support.

All I can think about LG is lame a$$ phones other then the nexus phone. I can't bring myself to even think of LG. They will have to have better phones for awhile before i would consider them. Moto has always had the best quality phones but lack luster update times but that should get better. I have have always had Moto phones but this year i finally went Samsung GS4. Easily the best phone i've had to date.
Personally i never drop my phones and are never in my back pocket so i don't really care much if it's plastic or metal. Plastic just makes it lighter. Plus like a few said once in a case, it matters not if plastic or metal. It's such a ridiculous gripe about plastic or metal. I want the best phone period. That is IMO the GS4.
Meh, just my 2 cents

hey man! i love the phone..amazing screen. quicker than my GS4. some bits of lag that annoy me (theres lag when going back to teh home screen..seems as if the launcher redraws every signle time, but it freezes movement so you don't actually SEE the redraw.)
the one was a great phone, and i loved my DNA..but the camera on both were meh. i played with a one in the store, and while it's great, and those spekaers rock, the screen was too small.
the speaker is nothing special on the G2, to be honest. there's some kind of built in limiter/compressor that you CAN'T turn off, which sucks, because it makes music sound kinda crappy over it. haven't tried headpohnes yet.
over all, fast, awesome phone though with a great screen.

def! i'm seeing mike D and scott around too, so who knows, we might get some good stuff going over here.
the lag i believe is simply the launcher handling refreshes. it's not always there, but sometimes hwen you go back home and try to switch pages irght away, it doesn't do anything, then it moves over very choppy.

I have a stock rooted S4 I got as a replacement from asurion, for a S3, it's on ME7, I have not activated it. Just thoughts from the community, I am a long time aosp user, anti touch jizz since fascinate days. Should I keep the s4 and bear with it on rooted stock or send it back and get another S3?

You have to ask??
SCORE!
Root it and move on. A device that is almost a year newer, better screen, better battery, two more cores and a better GPU.....

Why wouldn't they? People buy the one. It's just an htc one with a note 3ish size screen and larger battery + sd card slot finally. I just want reliable and fast 4g again, something I can't have with my s4.
Edit: just read some reviews on the one max. Disappointing. Now I really don't know what I'm going to do for a phone. Maybe back to my rez.

What condition is your S4 in?
Does anyone honestly believe a unlock method is being worked on?

mint condition. Never dropped. No scratches. Kind of undecided what to do with it now. The only thing keeping me on the s4 is 5in screen and battery life. Was definitely getting rid of it before I read the one max review, now I'm not sure what to do

Yeah, first you gotta figure out if you selling or keeping.
I honestly don't see any reason for any other phone at the moment. If I can get it unlocked I'm straight for a year or more.

Yeah I know. Your best bet may be a dev edition. I really don't think an unlocked bootloader is coming unless samsung leaves a door open for someone to get into in a future update.

This whole ordeal reminds me of the RIL bs with the fascinate.
This blows extremely. Let me know if you decide to sell yours. Or if you wake up and decide touchwiz is your friend I'll trade with ya

Yeah I don't know that One design just doesn't scale well. I mean look at a One compared to a Moto X, it's a joke. They have the same screen size but the Moto X is almost the same size as an iPhone while the One is bigger than our phone. So the BoomSound speakers plus the 5.9" screen means it massive. It only has a Snapdragon 600 after all these devices are coming out with the 800. It loses OIS, which ruins the whole point of their "UltraPixels" with the larger light aperture, in favor of a fingerprint reader which so far hasn't been reviewed very well. Apple integrated the reader into the experience of the iPhone by putting it right on the home button, the One Max makes the same mistake as the Motorola Atrix. Furthermore, it doesn't even retain the best part of the One design, the unibody aluminum shell. It features a plastic ring around the phone like our S4 as well as an apparently spotty removable back that doesn't even feature a removable battery. Very disappointed in the One Max.
