    Help S-Voice when docked?/brighter lock-screen?

    When docked on my Samsung base, plugged into my PC, my S4 displays the icon for S-Voice at the top. On occasion I've noticed it automatically started trying to record for no apparent reason as well. How do I stop this? I don't even use S-Voice. Also, is it possible to adjust the screens...

    Help me choose a new headset?

    Unfortunately for some reason, my good old Denon AH-D1001's don't work with the Galaxy S4. (have always worked with any other 3.5mm device) I also happen to need a new headset for Teamspeak use. I'm not sure if there's anything out there that could cover all my needs, but if so I'd love to...

    cable questions - "fast charge" from laptop USB & what makes a "data cable"?

    Awhile back I bumped into what I think was some special cable and/or change you could make that'd allow regular speed/faster than typical charge speeds from a laptop USB. Am I talking outta my ass, or is such a thing possible, and if so how? Also, what actually makes the difference between a...

    I've got a Galaxy S4 with a Hyperion 5200mAh pack + TPU cover. Are there any windshield mounts that'll fit, and actually stay in place? I purchased an iBolt while on an extended trip last summer. It worked great for about the first 1k miles, but after that it'd only stay attached as long as...

    Help Any way to make S4 view flip to horizontal view?

    I'd REALLY like for the main S4 app pages/screens to rotate into horizontal view, like I think I remember the S3 doing by default. Is there any way to get the S4 do the same? I'm in the market for a docking cradle and whether or not it can be done, will make a difference on exactly which one...

    Dumb question.. no sound through headphones/jack?

    As the title states, I've got what's likely a dumb question. Plugging in my favorite set of headphones, (which work with every other portable device I've tried them on), doesn't work.. the sound continues to play through the phone speaker instead. Is there some silly setting I need to fiddle...

    Root [Verizon] accidentially disabled Google widget?

    Installed RootAppDelete & as I was afraid, I managed to screw something up. (I'm guessing I'm at fault anywho, tho I don't recall messing anything to do with Google) No matter how I interact with the basic Google widget, (the one that's 4x1, says Google on the left & has a mic graphic on the...

    I've found the option to automatically run data intensive sites etc off wifi, but is there an option that'll make ALL online activity switch to your wifi signal when in range? :confused: (I mean without having to manually turn off mobile data usage) As always, thanks in advance!

    Help help - can't close android browser pages?!?

    Smartphone noob here.. the default browser seems to have bugged out in that any time I try to close, (or add), a page it throws a message saying, "unfortunately, internet has stopped".
