    Galaxy S4 Wifi dropping [fixed], but with battery drain....

    There are several well known techniques to increase the battery's depletion time - by that I mean the time it takes for the battery to deplete - to go from 100% down to 0%. There is a well known name for this. But I don't know what it is. Can anyone please tell me the correct name for this...

    Easy way to designate a Home Screen: S4

    The same was true for me. It looks like a fat arrow. I don't know why but so many of these icons look like any number of different things. The one set of icons that drives me crazy is the "broken circle". A circle with one break at the top means "refresh". But there are several other circles...

    Easy way to designate a Home Screen: S4

    A 2 finger pinch is one way. But I discovered that tap the menu button (a software button) will do the same thing. Seems like 99 percent of everything I have learned about my phone has happened by accident. When I explore my Settings and screens.

    Why can't I find Blocking Mode anymore?

    I can't find Blocking Mode anymore for some reason I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I recently upgraded my OS to the latest version 5.01. I just tried to access Blocking Mode today and I can no longer find it. I checked in some books and one of them said I can access Blocking Mode by tapping on...

    What is the meaning of this icon?

    I found help in another forum. Someone told me it is the "Refresh" icon. That makes sense to me. I'm sure that is correct. But thank you anyway for the opportunity to post in your forum. I think this is a very lovely forum and I hope to be a good member here.

    What is the meaning of this icon?

    I'd like to ask the meaning of an icon on my screen when I open an email I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. If you have a similar phone and use GMAIL for your email, please tap Email then select one one of the emails. You should then see a screen with four icons at the bottom. The first from...

    Is there any Buy/Sell forum here?

    Before explaining just what I want to sell, I better make sure it would be OK for me to post it here. I think it would be OK to say it's a 10-day old smart phone together with a two year plan and I would make it worth your while to sub-lease this phone and plan (if that is the correct name for it).

    Interesting Thing about Battery Behavior

    Am I also correct in the observation that my phone charges significantly faster when it is charging while powered off instead of just the screen lock?

    Interesting Thing about Battery Behavior

    I'm new to the world of Smart Phones and I discovered something about charging my battery that seems like it's newsworthy to me. I just hope that people won't yawn and say that everyone already knows about this. I have found that charging my battery using a connection to an electrical outlet is...

    Where are the settings for the update on the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    Re: Where are the settings for the update on the Samsung Galaxy S4 I found that to be so distracting that I moved the icon onto the home screen. I like it much better that way. I really don't like the new version and wish I could go back to the previous one.

    Is there any way for me to revert to a previous version of my OS?

    Recently, I upgraded to the most recent version of the OS and I'm not liking it. The previous version made the phone look so beautiful. But in the new version, all the menus on the phone are in weird colors it just looks weird. Also when I tap and hold on an icon in order to move it (like it...

    Galaxy S4 New version of OS - Two simple procedures

    I must apologize. The previous post was just too long. Much too long. I'm used to posting on a diff forum and I can see that I will need to shorten my posts a whole lot if I'm going to be able to get any help here. I do not blame anyone here except for myself. The next time I post a thread, I...
