    Is the Galaxy S4 still worth buying?

    There's always something "better" around the corner ... it just depends on when you're ready to buy/upgrade. But the GS4 is still right there with other flagships in terms of specs. The good news is that since it's a little older, there are some great deals. As someone else said, I think the...

    I got it about a week ago, just bug fixes. From the Sprint Support page: "Resolves sleep mode issues" Find and update the software version on your Samsung Galaxy S4

    How to import videos taken with my GS4 into my ipad ????

    I suspect you haven't gotten a lot of replies because most folks stick with either iOS or Android. There's quiet a few different video formats, and not having an iPad, I have no idea what format they use (or even how you go about importing ... can you just use a USB port?). You might want to...

    Unable to Read ebooks on my tablet.

    My first question would be where did you get the books from , and are you sure there is no copy protection (DRM) on them? Second question is, exactly how did you get them into epub format, and are you relatively sure they're "good" (have you tried using an ereader on your PC)? I also believe...

    Hows everybody liking Official Jelly Bean (those who have it)? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?

    Terrific upgrade IMHO, lots of nice new features and no problems to speak of. Everything also seems a lot smoother and faster. Big kudos to Samsung and Sprint for getting the GS2 up to JB in fairly good time.

    So slow...

    To say it will "erase everything" is a little overstated, but doing a backup/restore is absolutely a good idea. It will erase most program data on the phone storage, but it should not erase your SD card. Anything stored in the "cloud" (e.g. Contacts, Calendar, etc) should come back once it...

    phone won't charge/hold a charge

    Could just be defective. The previous poster suggested checking for a "bulge" ... that would be the first/easiest thing to do. People have suggested a "spin" test ... put the battery flat on a table and try to spin. If it spins easily, it probably means the sides are bulging a bit and it may be...

    Universal search

    Looks like it may have been removed because of the Apple suit. If you Google "universal search removed" there's many hits which relate to that. Thanks Apple :(.

    Cool! I had to do it several times, but eventually it did pick up on the update. Updating now. Thanks.

    Having to reset wi-fi after phone rests....

    Yeah, mine does that as well ... just have to click WiFi off/on to get it back. Seems to me that it started happening after the last update, and I thought it might be caused by changes to save battery life ... but that's just a theory. Interesting that the 'sleep' setting doesn't seem to affect...

    Sprint/Samsung issuing ICS fix!

    Well, it shouldn't touch anything on the SD card, although you might remove the SD just to be extra safe. Some folks have also reported that re-formatting the SD card helps with battery life ... but that's a separate process. So ... you should backup anything that's on the phone itself. Now...

    FH13 and WiFi

    I think this is a large part of what they've tried to fix with FH13. A little hard to tell for sure, but it appears to me that WiFi is better behaved now. And, if you use the "Keep WiFi on" setting to have it off while sleeping, it seems to re-connect correctly when the phone wakes up. This is...

    Instant Firmware Update Using Samsung Kies

    I'm still having issues with Bluetooth (and I think many other people are too). It'd be nice to get those fixed. But having said that, I'm not as negative about this ICS update as others seem to be. I did a Factory Reset after the first update and have enjoyed ICS for the most part. Except in...

    Anyone having luck with bluetooth?

    I haven't had any disconnect issues, but I have had some audio issues in my car. I use the HandsFree built in to the stereo for my RAV-4 and also connect for music (A2DP) through a Blackberry Stereo Gateway. This worked flawlessly under GB, but with ICS and both devices connected, I get a...

    Anyone Received The Official FH13 Update? Post It Up When You Do

    Re: Anyone Actually Received The FH13 Update? Post It Up When You I also updated with Kies. No problems, but no major differences that I've seen either. Battery life seems about the same, but it was OK on FF18 for me too. I was hoping to see some improvement in Bluetooth (warbly phone on HF...
