    Update?

    I woke up to an update on my 8.4. Don't notice any significant changes and can't find any info online. About 190 mb. Edit - while typing this post I pressed the menu key and this message popped up, "the menu key has been replaced by the recent key". Not sure what's different as all my...

    Bought it last week...

    Love it so far except battery life. The 8.4 has essentially replaced my laptop. Has anyone noticed the Samsung Music Player (Music) is always running. I rarely use my tab for music (plenty of other gadgets for that) so it's not as if I'm leaving the app open yet it is always on when I check...

    Help with app's persistent notification

    I've noticed that I can't get rid of the phandroid icon in my notifications unless I force close the app. Also, the phandroid app continues to run and does not close when you back out, again, unless you force close. Any suggestions other than uninstalling the app and accessing via the web?

    Help Quarter of texts not being delivered since update?

    Seems, as to be expected of Verizon, that my awesome phone has all sorts of issues now that I received the most recent "update". On top of the lag I'm experiencing (different post) about 25% of my texts fail to be delivered forcing me to long press and "resend". Anyone else?

    Help Lag since the update?

    Anyone else experiencing lag since last weeks update? My phone is definitely not as snappy as it was before I updated. Normally I would do a factory reset but with 4.3 on its way (I know, it could take a while) I don't want to have to set up my phone twice in a short period of time. So, any...

    Help Good 4g signal...extremely slow speeds?

    I just can't spend any more time on the phone with Verizon so any help would be greatly appreciated. According to Verizon my 4g signal strength is great (between -80 dBm and -90 dBm). However, my download speeds are hovering between 0.1 and 0.25 Mbps consistently. Sometimes I can barely...

    Help Update destroyed 4g speed!

    Has anyone else noticed a significant drop in their 4g speed since the update? My download speeds are now hovering between 0.1 - 0.5 Mbps on speedtest. More often than not I cannot even get a speed to upload as it won't connect. If anyone else is in downtown San Franciso, has an s4, and...

    Help Browser zoom?

    I can't seem to adequately zoom in to web pages (desktop view) with this phone. When I double tap on a website it barely zooms in. In portrait I can't read the text. Is this a Samsung thing (double tap not really working)? I'm coming from an HTC so Samsung/Touchwiz is new to me. What's the...

    Replacing Rezound

    Planning on replacing my Rezound but don't want to lose my unlimited data. Don't want to buy a stolen or trashed phone from Craigslist or EBay. Against my better judgement and to fulfill my need for a new shiny object I've decided to buy a new phone at the retail price. My question is, can I...

    Is there a way to export or save my playlists to my SD card? I just did a factory reset (which I do occasionally when things are getting laggy) and lost all my playlists. I'd like to be able to save them. I use the stock music player. Thanks!

    Anyone else's Rezound overheating since the update? Never had a problem before and now I'm reaching 105-110 degrees after a 10 minutes of normal use. I had a Mugen Power battery in yesterday and thought that might be it so I did a factory reset and swapped with the stock battery. Having same...

    Wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? V Crap Media Manager insists on trying to sync my media to the V Crap website, without my permission. This started a few weeks ago when I first got the phone (which is amazing BTW!). I usually power down at night when I charge, so I didn't...

    Help Phone getting stuck on 1X

    Having trouble picking up 4G/3G once I leave, then return to service area. I don't have a signal at my house so I use a network extender. When I am at home, all I get from the network extender is a 1X signal (always use wifi, so not an issue while home). My problem is that once I leave home...

    Okay, this is weird. As of yesterday, when I go to Google mobile to search for something, the characters I am typing get blocked out with the star character just like when you are typing in a password. You can see the letter you just typed, but a soon as you move on to the next letter, the...

    Help What happened to the HTC PDF Viewer?

    What happened to the native HTC PDF Viewer? I noticed today that PDF Viewer is no longer on my incredible. Now, Adobe Reader opens up my PDFs. Adobe Reader sucks! It's so slow and laggy that I can't use it. PDF Viewer was so much smoother and faster when viewing/zooming PDFs. Does anyone...
