The eye icon signifies the S4's Smart Screen functions are active. (They can be configured in Settings>My device>Smart screen.

sorry, I wasn't intending to be deceptive.I am a gadget addict and keep coming back to Android to see how things have changed. Obviously, not that much since my last venture. I may have some more questions, but always appreciate inside that might be different from what I've heard before. didn't...

I decided to experiment with Android and the S4 after having iPhones since the day they were released. It's only been a couple of days, but my quick initial impressions: PROS: [1] LOVE the bigger screen. No problem using it onehanded or putting it in my pocket. Apple really needs to revisit...

I made the switch for many of the same reasons you mentioned. It's only been a couple of days, but my quick initial impressions: PROS: [1] LOVE the bigger screen. No problem using it onehanded or putting it in my pocket. Apple really needs to revisit their screen size [2] LOVE that I can choose...

I'm new to the S4 after having iPhones since they first came out. (Decided to give Android a whirl since I wanted a bigger screen and more control). And I correct in my analysis that most of the S4's whiz-bang advertised features to do with gestures and motions are way over-hyped? I thought...

I just got a Samsung S4 (Verizon) because I was tired of Apple's stagnant OS and tiny screens. And I'm a tinkerer, so I'm loving (sort of) the endless ability to change and modify just about everything. And LOVE the big screen (and I have no problem whatsoever putting it in my pocket or using...

I like the S3 (my first Android after years of iPhones). My only complaints are the battery life (horrible) and that the power and volume buttons are too easily triggered.

I'm considering (but just considering at this point) replacing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the Motorola Razr MAXX HD, primarily because the battery life on the S3 is beyond pathetic. When I was in the Verizon store taking a look at it I saw that, unlike the S3, the Android "buttons" (home, back...

I'm a recent convert to Android (from iPhone) and am used to being able to see all the photos on my phone in one place. Every app on the phone seems to create its own album withing the Gallery app. I'd like to have a view that only show just the photos (not individual albums associated with...

Well, thanks for that. Didn't think to pull out the manual....figured the left half was GPS but didn't realize what the right half meant.

I have a (Verizon) Samsung S3 and I can't determine what this status bar icon represents. It doesn't appear on the regular lists of standard icons and I can't figure out what app it might be associated with since it never goes away (even after I've closed down all active apps via the task...

I'm continuing on my quest to transition from years of iPhone to Android. Overall it's going well, but I have a couple of random, minor issues/questions. [1] Is there a way (short of rooting) to reassign what the single long hold and double tap of the home button does? (I've looked for apps...

OMG - solved. It never occurred to me there would be a setting to play in mono in accessibility settings (let alone how/why it would come out of the box checked...) . All is well now...

I think there is definitely something amiss. I have subsequently determined that the problem is that I am getting NO stereo sound , to either wired or bluetooth headphones. This includes both mp3/music apps as well as streaming media such as Pandora. But I guess I have baffled everybody...

I think my SD card may be buggy, so I'd like to reformat it. So I don't lose whatever important stuff is located on it, I obviously want to back it up before formatting. I have Android FIle Transfer installed on my Mac. Am I correct that to do the backup, I just drag all the contents of the SD...
