The lag you get when the home button is pressed is because S Voice is programmed to launch on double pressing the home button, so it hesitates on the first press to see if its a single or double tap. You can go to S Voice settings and remove it, and the lag goes away.
No problem my friend. The note is the all around best choice to me.. but I love the htc one and the s4 is great too... let me know what you decide Tim..
I already have the iPhone 5 but I just like hearing about new phone and floss u make people just wanna listen to u and hear about new technology nice work floss
Just bought this phone (for around $70) and it's really good for me. I've got new battery in it and overall I like performance and features of that phone. Highly recommend to buy even now in 2017. Thank you Floss for the review! I made my purchase decision based on this video #salute
BEST COMMENT EVER! Its funny that people actually think I don't know that after having 50 android phones .. people have to remember the htc one is running 4.1 that's why its so smooth. My nexus started lagging soon as it got 4.2 too.. it's the android lag, not samsung
The lag isn't the Samsungs fault, its due to android 4.2... my nexus started lagging soon as 4.2 came on it too..remember the htc one runs 4.1 thats why its so smooth
I'm with you on the note 2. I didn't even feel phased by these two coming out. I'm still on top with my note 2. I think only the note 3 will make me want to jump. Great review as usual. I always look forward to your new ish.
Your reviews Rock Floss, I love how you keep it real. Getting this phone Monday, can't wait. And seeing as your giving it a 9.. I'm satisfied. Keep up the good work. Love that case btw.
hell yeah Floss got some dope reviews. Funny thing is I'm not even a Android user(nothing against it), but i still watch all the reviews on all the stuff. He got some dope phone case reviews too.
Love your videos floss you helped me decide that I want the galaxy note 2 a few months back lol I still watch your reviews even though I already have my phone and don't really give a flip about galaxy s4
Yo Floss, big ups on the review. I decided to send the HTC One back and go back to the Note 2. I agree with Dee Jimenez on the S4 software features but I'm gonna wait for the Note 3.
I always follow your reviews man, just saying on mine I tried that and I didn't have the problem. Trust me, I notice small things like that and probably beyond. I have the latest software on mine as well. Please keep up the reviews, probably the only ones I trust anymore lol.
Glad to hear the update did improve things. Great "real review" as usual! Sick case too. Do you have the double-tap home for S-voice on? That's the usual reason for the home button lag.
If you go into developer mode you can easily remove the transition animation so that hitting the home button makes it nearly instant when returning to the home screen, much like the htc one. Also removing the s voice feature from double tapping the home button helps it too.
Thought about the S4, but im happy with my note 2. Besides, the update is coming soon and i love the s-pen and its features. Cant wait for the note 3, but great review Floss.
What's good Floss, I appreciate the videos and and keep them coming. One MAJOR thing I see you maybe didn't address is the memory out the box. I feel Samsung got ahead of themselves by putting all those features and not too much under the hood to back it up. That's partly why it has so much lag. I mean a little over 8GB out the box on a 16GB is ridiculous! I used it for 4 days and was already down to 5.5GB internal. Boxing it back up and returning and I may just go to the One.
Hi Floss, greetings from Paraguay. About the lag when tapping the home button. That actually is 'cause the phone is waiting for the second tap, to open the S-Voice feature. If you disable that function in the Settings, the lag of the home button disappears. I disable that feature in all my galaxy devices, and they run great. Your videos are awesome!
Yo floss. You are the truth my dude. I'm definitely a fan and you helped me out on alt of cell issues with your videos. Keep up the great work. Btw. Do you recommend rooting the gs3?
Keep up the good work Floss, love the videos, any new product coming out i always check in here first and more often than not your rockin it, peace....
I'm hearing and now seeing 4.3 android is hopefully coming soon, which I would think help with lag issues with 4.2. I'm running Note 2 and for me personally love Touchwiz rooted rom, but looking at going to AOSP rom of 4.2.2. Love them vanilla features of Android. But touchwiz IMO is best overlay of android. But keep up the work on these vids!!!
Good video flossy.. I due for a phone end of next month and i was looking for the note 2.. However i know its been out for a decent time. would you recommend me get it next month or wait for the new thing?
quick question floss .. i youtube'd htc one death grip and a few vids came up where the phone will have 4 or 5 bars and once they grab the phone the service goes down to 1 , 2 or no bars .. you can youtube it if you want .. u getting anything like that on yours ?
Floss, love your reviews, thanks for the insight you give in layman's terms. One question tho, I noticed that you have had quite a few Samsung smartphones which typically have the speakers located on the back. Have you always had an issue with its location or is it because of the HTC ONE putting their speakers on the front? I know IPhone has its on the bottom. Are the S4 speakers not as good as the orher Galaxy smartphones?
Hey Floss you definitely want to get the Spigen slim armor case, feels much better in the hand and it fixes the speaker problem when it's placed on the back.
Hey Floss to help out a little with that lag! Go to developer options Go to limit background processes and move it up to 2 . Works for me.. Some people have even said 4 is the best...4.2.2 on touchwiz seems to not handle multi tasking well ! Especially when going in and out of different screens .hope this helps ..Great videos bro keep up the good work.
yo... FLOSS, you are so dope, where have you been all of my youtube life? Based on your review I am totally picking this phone up on monday. Out of ten I rate you a win. WIN/10
The lag going back to the home screen is mainly if you hit the home button...I noticed it responds quicker if you use the "back" button to back out of the app.
Its still a great phone 3 years after its release. I just discovered zerolemon 7500mAh extended battery for it. Breathes new life into an old phone. Damn s4 now lasts an entire week on one charge.
hey . I like your revies. I wanted to ask you something, Which version do you have ? and does it get hot after playing a 10 minute game, or looking at internet.Also, if you have the Snapdragon , could you tell me if there is any issue with the headphone jack ? People have said that they hear muffled sound with snapdragon version when they use headphones. Thx man
trust me homie, Iv'e had almost every hot android phone since the birth of android so I'm not a newb when it comes to this phone game. The Lag is a lot to do with the new touchwiz and all the new features. of course you're not gonna have those issues with the S2, its running an older touchwiz and has less software installed. The HTC one is lag free. just as lag free as the Iphone 5
The lag you get when the home button is pressed is because S Voice is programmed to launch on double pressing the home button, so it hesitates on the first press to see if its a single or double tap. You can go to S Voice settings and remove it, and the lag goes away.
You'r very smart ;)
This was my first Flagship smartphone when it first launched 🥰🥰🥰
OLD BUT GOLD MY G FLOSS! 2020 Covid Vibe!

No problem my friend. The note is the all around best choice to me.. but I love the htc one and the s4 is great too... let me know what you decide Tim..
I already have the iPhone 5 but I just like hearing about new phone and floss u make people just wanna listen to u and hear about new technology nice work floss
never happened to me yet.. maybe its some bugged units, but the 2 that I use run super smooth....

What's the clock and weather widget
My dude never disappoints with these real reviews. Raw uncut & unbiased.

Thats not true at all.. what does the case have to do with when you're holding the phone in your hand? And whos going to use the phone without a case?
I'm with you on the note 2. I didn't even feel phased by these two coming out. I'm still on top with my note 2. I think only the note 3 will make me want to jump. Great review as usual. I always look forward to your new ish.
I guess you didn't read the description
How many socks do you own? Times that by 2
Much love my dude

I like your review because you so honest. No other reviewer mention how the S4 lags sometimes, thanks for the review :)
The home button been off... the lag is from android 4.2

Yo Floss, big ups on the review. I decided to send the HTC One back and go back to the Note 2. I agree with Dee Jimenez on the S4 software features but I'm gonna wait for the Note 3.

my boy floss never fails man awesome review made my life alot easier to choose on my next purchase !
If you go into developer mode you can easily remove the transition animation so that hitting the home button makes it nearly instant when returning to the home screen, much like the htc one. Also removing the s voice feature from double tapping the home button helps it too.
Love your reviews I've been watching your reviews about S4 and HTC one, Fairly Judged keep it up.
Thought about the S4, but im happy with my note 2. Besides, the update is coming soon and i love the s-pen and its features. Cant wait for the note 3, but great review Floss.
Hey man what's the name of the Galaxy S4 cover, looks sick with the white phone color really matches.

Thank you Carmen and welcome to the family!
Thanks my friend
Great, detailed review, Floss! I'll be checking your other videos out.

Why don't you read the description that "HE" left on the video.

Love the reviews dude. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Fam!
Yo Flossy ma man, Thanks for the reply, love all d videos budd, what's the weather and clock widget on ur phone?
The lag is due to android 4.2 not the phone. Your s3 has 4.1 thats why its smooth.
Cool . Out of the reviews on the phone you are the only one to mention the speaker issue. Good looking out.
Thanks my dude. much appreciated
first flossy vid I saw back in the day. crazy how time flies
Binging on Flossy's videos, and I don't know how I ended up watching a Samsung S4 review in 2018.
Hahahaha the oldies
@@FlossyCarter Daaaamn! You actually responded haha! Any plans on getting that Pocophone? It's been making a lot of buzz.
Yeah I ordered it, it's coming this week hopefully
wrong case..the pouch is calfskin
Good video flossy.. I due for a phone end of next month and i was looking for the note 2.. However i know its been out for a decent time. would you recommend me get it next month or wait for the new thing?

This was one if my favorite phones when I got it. Grant it was 6 months later after the initial release, but damn did I have fun with it! #Salute
It was Great!
So true!
i like how genuine your reviews are! and they are very helpful too! thanks so much for making these videos! your awesome! :D
Awesome review Floss! Yet again thanks for another video
beautiful widgets
Hey Floss you definitely want to get the Spigen slim armor case, feels much better in the hand and it fixes the speaker problem when it's placed on the back.
Hey Floss to help out a little with that lag! Go to developer options
Go to limit background processes and move it up to 2 . Works for me..
Some people have even said 4 is the best...4.2.2 on touchwiz seems to not handle multi tasking well !
Especially when going in and out of different screens .hope this helps ..Great videos bro keep up the good work.
yo... FLOSS, you are so dope, where have you been all of my youtube life? Based on your review I am totally picking this phone up on monday. Out of ten I rate you a win. WIN/10
Lol me too.. im hoping KLP has it fixed
Hey Floss what app do you use for your widgets? I like the clock you have on the s4.
Yo Floss...what beautiful widget theme are you rockin'? I dig that clock style
Thank you floss for the review! I always love your review videos - I will stick with my Note 2 for now.
lol that's because this isn't the s3! the new touchwiz has more lag
i doubt it.. i actually like touchwiz over stock android
Exactly!!!
Thats the screen protector that's chipped
Yo Floss, nice video as usual. Quick question, what clock widget are you using /theme? Thanks
The lag going back to the home screen is mainly if you hit the home button...I noticed it responds quicker if you use the "back" button to back out of the app.
Great video, I just got the S4 for verizon and loving it. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Homie!
Its still a great phone 3 years after its release. I just discovered zerolemon 7500mAh extended battery for it. Breathes new life into an old phone. Damn s4 now lasts an entire week on one charge.
