    Help i337/KK4.4.4 email battery issue

    My stock i337 with KK4.4.4 recently started having battery issues. Email shows to be the main culprit draining the battery (using GSAM). I've cleared the cache partition, and still see the same issue. Historically, I've never seen email be at the top of the battery consumption list. So something...

    Help Can I force an update?

    Yesterday my i337 running 4.4.2/NC1 alerted me that it had d/l an update which I postponed. So last night I prepped to do a FDR before I did the update and then, after doing the FDR, when I go to d/l the update, my phone says it's up to date and I can't check again for 24 hours. The whole...

    Help GS4 will not download apks

    Does the stock browser still block apk downloads? I tried to get the new Google Play version today and regardless which mirror I choose, I never see any indication of the file being downloaded. My workaround is to hop on my PC and download the file. Then I open up ES File Explorer on my GS4...

    Help Transfer video from GS4 to iP5?

    I have a video I took on my GS4 that I would like to copy to my wife's iP5. It's about 20 minutes long so I don't think I can move it via email as the file is just under 3 GB. Is there a simple and easy way to do this?

    What kind of pointing device is this?

    There are times when it would be nice to have something to work the touchscreen other than my finger... such as in this pic. What is this? A generic capacitive stylus that will work with the GS4?

    Help Narrow down to app using battery?

    I am not having any battery issues on my GS4.

    GS4 thoughts

    I went from a 3.5 inch Android screen (S720C) to the Galaxy Note 2 earlier this year. Loved the huge screen... and yet hated it too... for the size. So I swapped out the GN2 for the GS4 and have been loving the GS4 ever since. No regrets, at all. Fast forward to last night when I popped in to...

    GS5 construction

    Yahoo! I don't know about the rest of you, but I like and prefer the quality plastic construction of the GS4 vs the metal construction of the iPhone 5 and HTC1. I think the trade press is nuts for making a big deal of the "superior" construction of the metal phones over the plastic of the...

    Help How to prepare for a FDR

    My GS4 (i337) is stock except for running Nova Prime. Of course my apps (and there are many) all have individual tweaks, etc. that will be tough to duplicate after a FDR.

    Minor nit to pick - auto-rotation

    I've noticed that my auto-rotation setting (settings/device/display/auto-rotation) somehow gets unchecked from time to time. I'm not sure what causes the checkbox to lose the check I put there. I only notice it when my images won't rotate and I have to go back into settings and recheck the...

    Help How to analyze the information battery drain apps provide

    I run a couple of battery drain analyzers in addition to the stock battery app. They all seem to indicate different apps are the primary battery drain culprits. How can this be? Or am I simply misinterpreting the info the battery drain apps provide? Check these screen shots I took back-to-back...

    The problem with assumptions...

    is that they don't always hold up in the light of day. I assumed... that since I told my GS4-16 to save pictures to my SD card, that screen shots would go there as well. So I dutifully saved screen shots of my screen layouts and all my downloaded programs to prepare for my swapout. So when I...
