Finally Galaxy S4 to be released on March 14

[LUClEN]

I did a little research and so far the only bad thing I've been reading about this phone from other owners is the battery life doesnt last as long as it's suppose to not even close.....but the htc one suppose to have a stronger battery life than the S4? but I may end up still upgrading to the S4 tho

Battery life is bad if you use a lot of internet on it.

I found that making my lock screen and home screen wallpapers all black has helped preserve battery life. I also turn off my 4g when I am not using it. Keep it on power saver mode and turn off all the unnecessary shit like air gesture and stuff. Auto screen brightness is effective too.

yeah I thought about that too the more you use it the battery wont last as long I dont use alot of apps like that anyway and I use the internet when I'm searching for something so I'll be straight

It's mainly the screen that eats up battery. I shut the internet off at work and just put my music library on shuffle and can listen to music for 9-10 hrs straight and only eat about 20% battery.

i finally got around to getting the sg4 ... battery life for me is crazy good. sometimes im tempted to even leave my charger at home. still tramatized by the evo 4g tho (dont judge me lol im no cell phone king) so im still not ready to trust it LOL

im not gonna be online for long at this point, but i wanna write a small IC review on this phone. one thing i can say is this shit needs more WIDGETS!!!

So you going to buy one expensive ass phone and then get another one in 4 to 5 months?

i have the ability to get a new phone every year, i have 3 people on my line, 95% of the time, i debo there upgrades, $100-150 for an upgrade every year, if i dont like it, i'll give it to them, and use another upgrade for whatever i want...shit i have an upgrade option today lol

its cool i read they were going to allow the installation of apps to the SD card soon

so i wouldnt say its a big deal IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A NICE SIZED SD CARD FROM A PREVIOUS PHONE.

if you dont however, then yes get the bigger 32 or 64 .... dont find yourself at walmart or target trying to cop a 32 or 64gig SD .... unless you got that jay z money lol

Back in the day Verizon's unlimited data plan was $30, wen i got my galaxy nexus 2 years ago, Verizon let me keep that $30 charge because I was "grandfathered" in as they call it. Now I'm tryna get the S4 nd the unlimited plan is like $80 like u said.. I read on certain blogs that there's still a way for me to keep getting charged $30 instead of the $80 but I heard it's a long ass process
