New Software Update rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S4, brings enhancements and stability fixes
Samsung has just started to roll out a new Software Update for the Galaxy S4.
Galaxy S4′s (Exynos +
Qualcomm) first batch of firmwares suffered from a lot of issues, and
many people complained about these issues to Samsung and on various
forums. Thankfully, the new software update brings a ton of
improvements, enhancements and fixes over the initial firmwares of
Samsung’s flagship device.
As you may know, the
16GB variant of the Galaxy S4 comes only with 9.15GB of user accessible
memory in which the user installs all his/her apps. The new update
addresses this issue by giving the user the functionality to move apps
to SD card and increasing the available storage to 9.23GB. This should
solve customers’ complain about low user accessible storage. This is one
of the enhancements in the update, rest of them are listed below.
Improvements and fixes in the new Software Update:
-New Camera firmware
-Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
-Smart Pause Toggle
-Move Apps to SD Card
-HDR Video (Can record HDR video)
-Semi-transparent status bar
-New Icons in Settings
-Secure boot status (About Phone)
-Increase legibility (Display) (New feature)

Since the S4 update my alarm no longer snoozes..... it doesn't repeat, and it also doesn't complete the briefing and alarm. Had anyone else run into this issue?
