[Q] A rather dumb question, why is the S4 named S 4? - About xda-developers.com

Hi,
I know this is rather a unnecessary question, but I have always wondered why the Galaxy S4 forum/device is named "Galaxy S 4". S4 with a space inbetween? Was this just an accident or has it any deeper meaning?
Sorry for being so bloody curious.:cyclops:
Thanks
Felix

The name doesn't have any space. I mean at boot says, Galaxy S4 i9500/9505, on the box same. Probably some confusion because of the "S" shape/size.
Cheers

He meant the name on the forum. I want to know it too

Because 4 is after 3 )) why iPhone 5 is called iPhone 5?Why the world is rounded...why it rains???
I thiink is called S4 because is the 4th generation on S-phones :-??

Ah...sorry i didn`t read correctly his question.Maybe because if you search for "S4" without space between the search result would be incorrect :-??

Why is this here?and not in the Q/A section?

You are right, I should've posted this in the Q&A section Shame on me.
Still: This device is correctly named like this: "Galaxy S4". Between "S" and "4" is no space. On here it is. I can't imagine why
It is a little confusing if you search for "S4" or if you type "S4" into the Type To Find Your Device field.

It just is what it is. If you like, I could get in touch with the site administrators and ask them
Nah, seriously it's because it's our way of knowing that it's a monitored forum. If you don't wear a tin foil hat when you browse it then we can see your internet history and address. If there's no space in the title then it's not monitored by the psychic division.

All of our Galaxy S * forums have a space. Galaxy S II and Galaxy S III are the same. There's nothing special going on. It's the same with anything. If it's a new revision, it has a space.
Back To The Future II (not Back To The FutureII)
Rocky III (not RockyIII)

Hi Scotsman, when looking at Samsung's US website they are actually putting a space between "S" and "4". But if you look at the European websites, in UK or Germany, you can clearly see that there is no space.
Looking at this banner: http://goo.gl/8126jR you see the S4 is promoted without a space.
I think that is what confused me, in Europe ppl are just used to the "S4" without any space. This is different with "Nexus 7" or "Galaxy Note 3", but "S4" does really feel like an stand alone name, which "S 4" indeed does not reflect.

[REQ] Samsung Hercules SGH T989 forum

Time to start a new forum for the Samsung Hercules.
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28052
Already pre-ordered. Now we need a forum to spread rumors and beg for developers until release.
The Release date is 9-25-11 so unless they change their mind having a forum now is way to early Maybe end of August........ I want it now like today......... but until we know for sure.............. too early for a forum on the Hercules

That release date blows. Where did you get that information? I haven't been able to find anything.
And yes my post is jumping the gun a little. Just needed somewhere we could start drooling without bugging everyone in the Galaxy S2 forums.
Wicked phone! I want one asap!
Ran over to AT&T to check out the Infuse and it's Supoer Amoled+ 4.5" screen. Looks pretty good. Typical AA issue with text when zoomed waaay out on a web site... but that could easily be fixed with root and lcd density change. Colors were amazing. Made my HD2 look horribly bland and washed out.
Love EVERYTHING about this phone (assuming specs correct) except the 800x480. Once again... lcd density. Will definitely spec out the Sensation to see how qHD looks but I don't like other things about it.

I hope they release earlier I am ready for a new phone

They show 1.5Ghz Qualcomm APQ8060 dual-core CPU there. Interesting.
This is why I semi joked about needing a dedicated forum.... so we can gossip. But I agree it's a little early.
-Edit-
Further down I noticed they say the speed is 1.2Ghz.
i want this phone so frkn bad!! new forum would be nice so we can get developers ready for this beast of a phone!
well here is another about it man i want one too! yep we do need to get a fourm set up incase they move the date up sooner http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/samsung-hercules-coming-late-september/

[Q] i9023 screen on i9020 possible?

Hi all:
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the screen from an i9023 phone on an i9020? I have a broken screen on a 9020, and the 9023 are quite a bit cheaper than the 9020 ones. For the intended use, I don't mind about the screen differences (AMOLED, LCD).
Thanks in advance.

Review

I know this doesn't relate to S3 but if you guys can give me some feedback on my review for HTC ONE V as HTC Teen reviewer program
http://androidreviewerak.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/htc-one-v-full-review-htc-teen-reviewer-program/
Anything I can improve on!
Thanks in advance

If you know this has nothing to do with the S3, but rather the HTC One V, post it in it's proper place.
Your review is very subjective. When talk about speed, you say it's slow, but slow compared to what? Use numbers, benchmarks would help, especially 3 month from now, when a new generation of phones come out.
your review also focuses on the superficial. I know you are a teenager, because you say it, but don't make your review sound like a 12 year old boy who only cares about how "cool" something looks. What about battery life? How loud the phone is? Reception? Storage size? All those would play in to how a phone can be "used".

He's just trolling. Does it all the time, so don't worry about it.
But I do agree that this is in the wrong place and should be in at the very least an HTC One variant forum. I understand why you put it here (being that you are an SGS3 user-probably should have put that in your OP) and are just wanting peer review. Best place to get peer review on a product is probably that product's forum.
I'm not the Mod for this section but you can request the thread moved, otherwise you might get more of the same responses.
Thats exactly why I put it here and troll level over 9 000 haha but its cool if a mod can move this for me please to htc one v general
I was hesitant to post this in the first place I dont mind gettin it moved
I asked for it to be moved. Should be sometime soon. You'll get far better peer review over there, than you will here.
Good luck in your writing.

I get it, it is very difficult for one with your intelligence to realize that when you review a htc one v device that should be posted on the htc one v forum and not on the samsung galaxy s3 forum...huh not sure, maybe these two names sound very similar to you probably

Dafuq?
Are you mad?
one v has 3.7 inch screen not 4.3 inch.
Also, this is one v not one s. Please edit your review.
Thanks so much for the feedback guys! That HTC ONE s error was a noob error, I was supposed to get the ONE S thats why. Sorry about that
I updated it. Lemme know if I need anything else guys,
Thanks a lot
Yes, you can make this review a lot better by writing something about the phone. IMO even temple run does not run on the stock rom. Also, sense is much better than touchwiz.
I don't think so ^ I guess I'm just used to the TouchWiz UI lool
I think touchwiz is just **** and samsung would do themselves a favour by using stock.

Not sure what to make of this mess. His review is about the One V. This is the One V forum, and the thread is posted in the One V general sub-forum, so unless this was already moved I don't see what the problem is. Also, this goes to everyone: If you see a violation or mis-post, just quietly report it and carry on. Confronting the other person only starts a flame war, and puts you in the hot seat, which could lead to consequences. TBH, I thought the way some of you treated the OP was absurd. He is only looking for feedback, not to be berated in front of other members.
Flaming another member for violating the rules, is a violation in and of itself. Please refrain from flamatory or disruptive behavior towards other members. Those found participating in this type of behavior will be dealt with.

[Q] Samsung Is Reading This

Hello all,
I have noticed that every defect or bug being discussed by a new thread is being deleted. You will not notice any thread that have a title against Samsung being available. Even though I was aware of many in the first. Is this true or is it speculations? Were those threads deleted by authors themselves? I really don't have an answer. So, what do you guys think?

in your opinion mate, whats the best rom to use on GTAB s 10.5? this is new to me and (hopefully if the delivery driver doesnt mess up) i should be the proud owner of mine later

I take it that using a different launcher is sufficient to reduce a lot of this lag?
My delivery driver will be burnt at the stake if he messes up muahahaha

Sorry. I meant no offence. But yes, it's troll food. There are a lot of anti Samsung users on the M8 forum.
And on XDA in general. Most Samsung owners here own them for the specs, and flash AOSP ROMs. Just sayin....
Coming to a M8 forum looking to make your phone look like a Samsung device is almost considered blasphemy.

Yes, it has changed since the Note 2 days. On 2014 devices (Galaxy S5 and Tab Pro lines, that I know about) TouchWiz is a laggy mess. Most attribute it to the UX Magazine interface.
