Had a pouch with my Blackberry Torch. Problem was that when I had something in my 1 hand and had to take a call from the phone which was in my pocket - how to remove the phone from said pouch in order to answer?

Became such a pain.... Offers great protection though!

Yeah. Either way, there will be drawbacks to using either kind of protection. Personally, I don't mind taking it out to use it. It's the only way I know it's fully protected.

getting anything from wantitall will be....

Couldn't agree more!!! Nobody should buy anything from these guys, their prices are daylight robbery!!! I will never buy anything from them even if it's on special and the cheapest!!! Their prices are completely non-competitive!

I bought my case through Amazon.co.uk and getting it shipped to my aunt along with a few other things, she will then forward it over here!! Paid 18 pounds

That is BS, I am using several different chargers in different locations - All have worked so far, (HTC / Blackberry / Generic, etc.)
The supplied adapter does charge a LOT faster than all the others though.

Was referring to the case and not the phone, any micro usb will charge any device with a micro usb port of course ;) only charging rates differ!

Can't use it until Wednesday though :( Lady said that's how long it will take for my number to port from MTN to CellC and the new sim to activate :(:(:(

You can still use it, you just cant call :) You can wifi and connect to the internet... which is what a phone is for? what is this calling you speak of? :twisted:

Perhaps I should try cutting my MTN sim to micro size to use it? Is it easy or is there a chance I can bugger it up?

Heard of many people doing it without problem. I reckon just google how to do it, and you will probably find a good write-up/video on how to do it properly

Anybody else experiencing slow responses from their s4.
If i open an app(mainly with Whatsapp) theres little indication its opening and then as i click again, it opens and goes into a contact. Rather annoying

stock firmware is hardly perfect. it actually sucks ass if you used to a Custom ROM, which I am.

I get that lag too, and i end up doing exactly the same thing of going into a contact

WTF! Seriously? With those specs and price tag?

That's samsung releasing a device before the firmware is optimized in my opinion, they do it so they don't lose market share. I expect it will be fixed in the next month or two through some firmware updates.
One of the cons of buying the latest flagship from Samsung as soon as it comes out.

Just my opinion, open to correction

OK, found a bug........

I have the phone connected to my car via on board bluetooth. I have used 3 different phones prior to the S4 and all have worked flawlessly with the carkit - it's an OEM factory bluetooth.

But the S4 shows it's always connected and will make and receive calls, but 20-30 seconds into a call it will lose all voice and the radio will come back on and the car says call ended, then a second later the radio mutes and the call duration timer on the car radio screen starts counting in seconds from 0 again and I can hear the other person on the other end of the call.

It does this every time and I have unpaired both the car and the phone and repaired without success. There is definitely a bug in the phone's firmware as I have never had this issue with any other phone...
