    Help Increasingly failing apps

    So over the 26 months that I've owned my galaxy s4, I have been seeing a pattern of failure to function properly. The most annoying problem, from the first days of owning the phone, was that it was very difficult to get into google play - the typical behavior when attempting to launch the app...

    On my SGS4, when I drag from the top of the screen to the bottom, the phone displays the time, date, icons for settings and some other things like wifi, location, etc. Then I see a screen display brightness control.

    There are some applications which do not appear to provide a way to indicate that its data should be kept on an external micro SD card. This results in one or two applications taking up nearly all available space on the quite small internal storage of a Galaxy S4. Is there a tool that might be...

    Is there a newbie's guide to using an SD card on the S4?

    I have never had a smartphone before this. I have a laptop, desktops, etc. and have used Unix for years. I have read that there are some similarities in how things work on the S4 and those. The memory in my phone is about 70% full. I have an SD card that came from my former phone that has...

    Help Whoops! Where did those icons go?

    So I have a number of virtual desktop screens - I guess they are called that - where I have placed a variety of icons. This morning, I checked to see if there were any phone updates, and there was, and it turns out the phone was upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4.2. I was surprised to see, however, that...
