I am trying to create slides with sub-figures that will appear and disappear when the next slide will appear. So far everything looks perfect but my main problem is with sub-figure numbering. When the slides are initialized the numbering starts with (a) which is correct. On the second slide I would expect to see the subfigure as (b) but I see (a) again.
While I was looking online for people having the same problem, I found all this possible solutions:
Where I tried all solutions:
\setcounter{subfigure}{0}% Reset subfigure counter
\makeatletter
\@addtoreset{subfigure}{framenumber}% subfigure counter resets every frame
\makeatother
\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
\AtBeginEnvironment{figure}{\setcounter{subfigure}{0}}% Resets subfigure counter at start of figure environment
Unfortunately this did not work. I searched more and I found also:
Problem with subfigure numbering using ContinuedFloat
Where I tried:
\makeatletter
\newcommand\resetsubfigs{\setcounter{sub\@captype}{0}}
\makeatother
Which is similar to the previous solution, but unfortunately this did not work either.
Does anyone sees something that I am missing? Where I am going so wrong? Working sample of my code is provided under. In order to test the code just use an blank image.

Best Answer
Finally after all of experimentation I found the solution to my problem. I noticed that things get complicated when I use the final
\only<4>{}. If I do not use the final\only<4>{}the enumeration continues normally but not the expected output.So I searched for alternative solutions and I found the
\visible{}, with reference to this question:Beamer: How to show images as step-by-step images
So my final solution is provided in case that someone else might have the same problem. For each picture you might need to play with
\vspace*{-1.0}etc. in order to get the desired output.
