Got my s4 back in may, coming from an iPhone 5 there was alot to learn. Its been lots of ups and down. I havent rooted, been using nova launcher and my homescreens almost looks like the iPhones. Not many widgets I care about, dont see the point in many of them. Sure its nice having my calendar but with the new ios7 I can just pull it down and I see today and/ or tomorrows appointments.
The screen has been great exept in direct sunlight but I can live with that. Swipe has been awesome but havent seen any direct improvment in speed, its just more "natural" kind of typing on a screen. 5 inch is great but for my part the 4 inch was enough, I like my phones abit smaller even tho I use em for pretty much everything. Its my chat, camera, social, music, calendar, phone thingy. It does it all. I barely use my mac. I did take a look at the s4 mini, great size but dident like the speccs.
One thins that really distrubs me is headphone sound. It just dont sound as good as my iphone. Ive tried all the sizes that come with the S4, if I use my iPhone headphones it sounds great, but then the volume rocker dont work, very distrurbing. Anyone know if HTC one´s headphones sounds more like on iPhone?
I do some gaming and I like achivments, thats great on ios with gamecenter. On android it just got started with google play but very few games so far.
I guess what I was looking for was a mix of phone, tablet, computer and S4 is closer to that then the iPhone. Its things like sharing files, torrents, utorrent remote that makes it feel more like a PC.
Why I write this? well im just a casual smartphone user, I gladly share my experience.
