    How do I add italics or bold to Gmail

    No kidding! If I don't update every hour, it could a week before it updates...regardless of setup options!

    New Update?? WTF???

    I'm just pissed off that I'm with AT&T only because Sprint has lousy LTE coverage...in CHICAGO of all places!! I had to drop them after 10 years...really upset me. So I get AT&T which charges exorbitant fees for data coverage when I was used to unlimited data from Sprint. But...let's be hinest...

    GTA vice city problem - Can't trigger taxi missions with controller

    Hey! I'm STILL trying to figure out what's so great about this game. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a purchase than this game. I remember 11 years ago my 35 year old friend was raving about it..and kept trying to force me to play it. I tried it once and couldn't remember why...

    Dropped Galaxy s4

    Don't EVER commit insurance fraud 'cause they haven't been committing fraud on us, right? And the carriers are not overcharging us. And the phone makers aren't making billions by laughingly stating that we're getting a "deal" by paying $250 for "a $700 phone" that will end up being only $50 in 6...

    Dropped Galaxy s4

    Don't know if anyone said this yet. But I'd get insurance through my carrier...wait 30 days.. then call it in. I usually call mine in as stolen so I can still use the old one as a charger...if nothing else. But, I've been told by 2 different carriers (and more than just one rep) that you have to...

    Serious lag when playing games

    You know....I'm also noticing that I omly seem to have (at best) 800 mb...and usually only 500 or so. The UI really eats up memory.. But then...I also have a lot of stuff still Enabled. I suppose if I didn't have useless apps like Flipbook running (I mean seriously? The app has news that's...

    Serious lag when playing games

    I started having lags on Ravensword Shadowlands as I got further into the game. Really...it only lags when I hit pause to change up weapons...and I think I'm just impatient. But I have noticed that even though the GS4 is considered the "best" (whatever that might entail) gaming system on a...

    16 gig may be deal breaker. :(

    @Dimsdale...you are soooo right about only gamers having complaints about the 16gb model. I am a gamer and I just couldn't buy a 16gb model so I got the 32gb model and really wish that they had a 64gb or even 128gb model since I also have music and tons of eBooks on my phone. As it stands, I've...

    S4 or Note2?

    I have to agree with Kilgore. The GS4 has the best display I've seen on any phone yet... My mom got the Note 2 because she needs a bigger screen so that she can read what's on the screen. But, for me? I cannot live with a phone that has so little storage space. I like having 23 odd gb for...

    S4 16GB now or 32GB later?

    Well....this is from a smartphone "addict," and I'm gonna tell you that if it really is you're first smartphone, that means you've been waiting qui some time. Soooo....do NOT be like me (who had a perfectly serviceable GS3....but no LTE because either my phone didn't come with it...or it really...

    AT&T download speed!

    Where are you guys located that you're getting Sprint speeds like that? I've had my fkn "LTE" S3 for a year now and live 6 blocks from the border of Chicago's North Side and I've never gotten anything but 3g speed and that's 6 months after LTE supposedly hit Chicago! I'm starting to wonder if...

    AT&T download speed!

    Good point! The town I live in...right on the border of Chicago....is so small that they've restricted any towers from beimg bulit near residential homes....so my signal is coming from across the street in Chicago. Well....a few blocks at least. That's why my dl speeds are so "slow!" I'm happy...

    would leaving my galaxy s4 charging over night do any kind of damage to the battery?

    I don't know about the trickle charge....but I DID notice that the phone just stops charging at 100%. The charge sign goes away and so does the lcd light letting you know it's charging. I thought it just turned off. ..but I guess it must be charging a bit ti still have a full charge in the...

    Cimo S-Case for Galaxy S4 protection wise....good?

    Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I feel safe with the case on...and the side grips are key! @Anthony2558...of course I had to go and get the clear case because I thought you would be able to see the phone and how great it looks!! No such luck as most of the "clear" case is actually a matte...
