    How do I change the language

    In the Language settings, I see I can change to English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese; but Japanese is not available. I've found a way to get it enabled, but it requires downloading an app, and granting it permissions using adb; which isn't something I would want to do for any app...

    Where can I get another charger for a reasonable price?

    I have the Spigen NeoHybrid case, which makes most of my other cell phone chargers incompatible with my s4 (the rubber/plastic around the plug won't fit into the hole in the case). I'm looking to buy the same charger that came with the phone, since I know it fits. Unless I was looking at the...

    When browse file locations in Astro, I can see far too many storage locations: The only locations that have files are "My Files 7" (my SD card) and "My Files 9" (local storage). Each of them are labeled as a usb drive (UsbDriveA - UsbDriveF), except "My Files 7" which is labeled "extSdCard"...

    Alternative to WatchON?

    Are there any good alternatives for WatchON? I know about the Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 app, but I'd rather not pay $10; since I probably wouldn't use it a lot. I don't have any problems with WatchON, but it seems like more of a pain to use then a dedicated app.

    Root Source for stable/fully working ROMs?

    Are there any AOSP ROMs that are complete with very few bugs? Most times when I look for them, the camera doesn't work, or only 3G works, etc. What are the most stable up-to-date ROMs available now? I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1.1 (kernel 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod+slayher@homebrewed #7), but it seems...

    Occasionally I cannot send or receive MMS messages. If someone sends me a text message with a picture attached, sometimes the picture doesn't show, but there is a download button (which doesn't work).

    Root Question about unrooting

    My power/lock button has stopped working. It looks like I'm going to have to unroot, and return my phone under warranty. My only question (so far) is, how can I unroot if my power/lock button doesn't work? I can't select any options in the bootloader/recovery.
