Your primary account will be the one you use to sign into the play store with. I have not tried to remove my primary account and designate another as primary to see what would happen.

Yes, it is quite possible the lack of signal getting to the phone could cause you not to get your notifications/calls. When you make a call or send a text, the phone has to wake itself up and try to find a signal. Someone else may correct me, but unless the signal is just strong enough to keep...

That is another feature I miss from my BB. It was nice being able to tell which account had new messages just by glancing at the screen.

I think it would be seen as any other traffic being routed through the tether. Using a VPN will change the perceived origin, but only after it leaves the outbound terminal. It still has to pass through your device (and the carrier) first.

I have an email account set up through the IMAP server. Attached are screen shots of how it is set up. Open the email app, tap the menu button, then tap settings, and the account you want to work with. That should bring up a screen similar to the first image. Make sure the notification check...

If you can get to a store that has a selection of them, Seidio makes a pretty wide product line of holsters. I was able to find one that fit my old BB Bold rocking a commuter case without a problem. it is mainly an issue of finding a case that is about the same size as the Mophie, and trying...

If that does not do it, check your account settings and see if it is set to exchange active sync, or pop/imap. It may require removing the account, then setting it back up. I have a couple accounts set in my stock app, and do not get notifications for either unless I manually check them.

Are you using the stock email app, or a dedicated app like Gmail or Outlook? If it is the stock app, make sure both peak and non-peak schedules are set for manual, and the notification option is not checked.

The screen will certainly drain the battery. Even with the S3 has a relatively large screen which is why the screen is listed at the top of the usage chart. If it wasn't, I would certainly be looking to find something else eating the battery. I would definitely look into the tips provided in...

What kind of battery life have you been getting? That graph looks similar to what I would expect with my S4. I know you have a little smaller screen, but it looks pretty consistent with the usage. What was your wifi traffic like the second time you had the wifi active? From the battery graph...

Did a factory reset on it, and the notification seem to be working. Except for getting three notifications for the same message. Suppose I should be happy I get the notifications at all.

Well, ended up doing a factory reset on it yesterday. Finally got everything set back up on it. Will see what tomorrow brings with the battery life.

Settings > My Device > Wallpapers for the basic options. I just pick an image in my gallery, and have not had it change on its own. Perhaps you have one of the live wallpapers selected, or an app that automatically changes it for you?

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what got updated over the weekend. I might have to start writing that info down instead of just dismissing the notifications. It still seems to be on track with what I am used to again. Hope it stays that way. For those lurking with a similar issue, all I...

Auto on/off setting, native alert/notification profile options. Those are two of the things I miss most from my Blackberry. There are some options to do some of that in the play store, but none that work well enough on my S4.

If it is only a few months old, the battery should still be covered by the warranty. If the factory reset doesn't work, if there is a carrier or Samsung store in your area take it in and have it switched out. ETA: If you haven't done the reset yet, try booting into recovery mode and wiping the...

There is no visible bulging or swelling that I can tell. Without doing anything different, I have only used about 16% in the past 6 hours today. Hmm.

I was hoping to avoid that if possible, but havent ruled it out. The update was applied over a month ago, and I am just now seeing this issue. Posted via Android Central App

I have had my S4 for about two months now, but the past couple days the battery has been draining incredibly fast. Tonight it went from 33% to 20% battery in the span of an hour, without any apps or the screen on. I have pulled the battery, left it out for a few minutes, and put it back in...

I had a Groupwise account for a few years, I never did figure out the proper settings to get direct access of email on my Blackberry. My work around was to set the account to forward all email to my BB account. Groupwise would leave the original copy on the mail server, so it would be there...
