    *SOLVED* 4G Stopped Working After Kitkat Update!

    I finally decided to allow the Kitkat 4.4.2 update (Verizon) through on my S4 last Friday. I'm not happy about quite a few things the update changed, but the one I'm REALLY PISSED about is: For some reason I've lost all 4G connectivity!:mad: The best I'm getting now is 3G. I did a factory...

    Does 4.4.2 Allow You To Save Your Photos & Videos To SD Card?

    I've read multiple threads on this issue and still can't find a definitive answer. Some say yes, some say no. I'd like to update to 4.4.2 but I need to be able to save my photos and videos that I take with the phone directly to my SD Card. Does Kitkat break that ability? I'm using a NON-rooted...

    Dust In Camera

    Anyone had problems with dust getting in-between the camera lens and the glass? I noticed this a few days ago while taking some pics in the sun. I kept getting this bright object in all my pics. Took the phone inside, and sure enough, theres something in there. It actually looks big, more...

    Photo Gallery Manager

    I upgraded to a 64GB card recently so I could store more photo's and videos on my phone to have with me wherever I go. The problem that I'm having (and have always had) is with the native gallery application. Even though I added my photos to my phone in a structured folder system, when I open...

    Gmail Notifications Not Working After 4.3 (Verizon)

    I updated to 4.3 last night and there are quite a few things I am irritated about. The biggest one right now is that I cannot get any notifications for Gmail to work. No Sound, No Vibrate, No Status Bar Notification, No LED Notification....Nothing. I've tried everything I can think of, and...

    Does any know of an Exif Extractor or Exif Writing App that actually WORKS with the GS4??? I've tried dang near every one that I could find, and none of them remove the Data from the picture tags. All of them "say" that the info was removed successfully, but when you check your file, the info...

    Help Broken SD Card Latch

    I was changing sd cards today and the internal latch broke! :mad: How the hell this happened is beyond me. I'm extremely careful with all of my devices, and have NEVER had one of these fail. The only thing I can figure is the fragile a$$ build quality of this phone. Ridiculous! I...

    Glass Screen Protectors

    I'm getting ready to buy a Glass Screen Protector for my S4. Based on what I've researched, I think I am going to go with the Mime Ghost Glass. They seem to give more bang for the buck and from what I've personally found so far, their customer service seems to be quite a bit better over others...

    Magnets & Screens

    Can the Magnets that are used to hold the front facing flap shut on a leather case harm the screen of a smartphone? I'm asking in reference to both regular TFT LCD screens as well as Super Amoled screens. Would those Magnets harm anything else in a smartphone?

    Wall Charger Help

    Just a general question about wall chargers. I have 4 different devices and I'm wondering if I can use 1 wall charger to safely charge them all as long as all the individual chargers specify 5v output? Some people say yes and some say no. Doesn't the amperage matter? Charger Specs. All are...

    Docks That Work With Cases

    I haven't seen a specific thread for the GS4 that's deals with this issue yet, so I thought maybe it would be useful. I'm sure there are alot of us out there that would like to purchase a Dock, but don't want to deal with removing their case from the GS4 every time just to dock the phone...

    Dull Screen Issue

    Has anyone felt that the screen on the S4 is dull? In comparison to 3 other devices that I own (all of which have inferior screens spec wise) The S4's screen seems to be the dullest for brightness and Whites. In fact, the whites look extremely washed out! I would think that the HD Super...

    Call Filtering

    Hey Everyone. Does the S4 have the ability to reject all calls that are not in your contact list, as well as private/blocked numbers? Or is it still a manual rejection setting where you need to enter the actual number that you would like to block? Just curious if they've finally...

    Help Gallery Question and Youtube

    I can't stand the gallery layout in ICS. I really like the look that it had in Gingerbread. Is there any way to get the old style back, or another app that can be used instead of the ICS gallery? (something that would resemble the old gallery style) Guess I could just wait and see how the...

    Blurry Screen

    I bought one of these a couple weeks ago and am not too sure how I feel about it. Overall I think it is nice, but I guess my main gripe is the screen. Obviously this isn't a really high resolution screen at 1024x600, but I expected the text to appear more crisp than on my 800x480 smart...

    Help Stream Slacker From Phone To Another Devise?

    I'm trying to find a way to stream Slacker from the Commando to another DNLA devise such as a TV, PS3, or Logitech Revue, in order to have it played through my stereo speakers that are connected to these devises. I'm using the Twonky Mobile app so the Commando is recognized as a server...

    Android Market Gmail Association

    This may be something that others have knows all along, but it has made me tear my hair out over the past couple weeks: Your phone obviously lets you have more than one gmail account on it, but the problem that I was having is that whenever I added another gmail address, the Market App always...

    Screen Color

    Just wondering how the color on your screens has held up. I'm talking about the white on a page. I've had a couple of these, the first one had a really nice white screen, but was malfunctioning so I had it replaced with this one. Right way I noticed that this screen was more of an Off White...

    Help Mobile Hot Spot

    I'm considering buying a Samsung Galaxy (7") just for home use, not to be used on any mobile network. I noticed that the Galaxy does have a built in GPS and can be used for navigation. I think that would be a great navigation tool in my vehicle because of the nice 7" screen, but like I said, I...

    Keyboards

    I finally found a good link for Better Keyboard 8 now that it's been taken off the market. That said.... I'm not so sure how I feel about BK8. It's extremely customizable, but for some weird reason I think that I might still prefer the Go Keyboard that I've been using over BK8. Maybe it will...
