    micro SD: Sandisk vs Samsung?

    I bought a 32gb class 10 Sandisk microsd card for my Galaxy S4. It was a complete failure. It would constantly unmount and remount the phone. It was unusable and even a laptop would recognize it only about 50% of the time. That's the 2nd card I've had of theirs that had problems. I think Sandisk...

    SD Card Unexpectedly Removed

    Hey all, I am having the same issue. The card may or may not be read by my laptop either, it's about 50/50. I was able to copy all the data off, thankfully. I read somewhere that this may be caused because the SD card was connected while rooting the phone. I don't know how true that is, but I...

    I personally witnessed an AT&T Rep pushing Samsung in a big way today.

    The reps at my store seemed to be encouraging the Galaxy as well. Maybe Samsung is offering incentive. Or maybe the rep really likes the phone and was giving an honest recommendation based on the customer's needs, which is very possible. It is a great device.

    Does anyone have Insurance/Protection plan on their phones?

    I never had insurance until my S4. My girlfriend and I both have one. She needs it, she's dropped a few. I am only putting the smart cover on mine, so I got it for peace of mind. You break it and have no insurance, you're reaching way down into your pockets.

    sync google photos / picasa web albums

    I'd suggest finding an alternative. I made the mistake of trying Picasa. The sync function is awful. I have one folder with sync enabled. It has 20 photos in it. When it syncs, it syncs 35 photos online. The 20 photos, plus 15 random videos from various places in Picasa. I've confirmed there's...
