Did you turn off, the software lag that is turned on by default and isn't exclusive to TW.

Not a single bit of lag on my phone. I turn it on, screen snaps on. I swipe, screen refreshed immediately. Apps are snappy, etc.

Did you do these things, because you don't specify and might feel a bit differently.

Your post isn't making sense to me:

Turn off what?
Software lag is turned on by default!?

HUH?!

I really like the Galaxy S4 but I wish it had a forward facing speaker or a kickstand like my HTC Thunderbolt did. When sound comes out of the back and phone is laying down it is hard to hear hence the kickstand or forward speakers would have been great.

You should get a flip case so you can somehow make the phone 'stand' when you listen to music or watching some videos.

I had the S2 (loved it), S3 (hated it) and now have an S4, which I'm kind of ambivalent about. That's unfair - I like it....but I'm also the user/chooser for a small business, so recently replaced work handset (old Blackberry) and had BB Z10 (hated, sent straight back), BB Q10 (hated, sent straight back) then HTC One (love it).

So now I've both the HTC One (work) & the S4 (personal). Both set up with identical apps/emails etc, just different phone numbers. I've found that at the weekend I sometimes swap the sims so that I can use the HTC One rather the S4. Guess that's a tacit vote to the HTC One.

Was there a poll for the One? I did not see that.

Okay, we've been here before but I see some of you need reminding....

Either play nice, play by our Site Rules, or don't play at all.

That means:

No inappropriate terms of language, whether disguised or not.
No personal attacks.
No trolling or otherwise inciting other members.
Attack issues, not people. This includes groups as well as individuals.

If any clarification of the above is required, please review the Site Rules (see link in my sig) and if still unsure PM myself or another moderator.

If the above unacceptable behaviour continues, expect a time-out.
