    4.4.4 Zoe Video and YouTube

    It seems that the 4.4.4 upgrade has disabled the YouTube upload of Zoe videos. I was able to upload to YouTube with 4.4.3. But after the upgrade, I can only upload the Zoe vides (videos formed by grouping various pictures and added music) to Zoe.com. Did I miss something?

    Newest Verizon update for Galaxy S4

    @silverfang77: when I did the software upgrade, it also hang in the last step. I waited half an hour and had to pull the battery to boot it up. I cleared the cache as well. But it did not help. So I had to erase everything and started from scratch. It seems to work fine after that. But hours...

    Anyone switched from S4 to S5? What improvements have you seen?

    I am thinking to upgrade to S5 from S4. My issues with S4 are: 1. Voice quality sometimes is not good. 2. The phone is slow at times. 3. Cellular reception is not good. In fact, it is worse than my wife'sS3. Will I see improvements in the above 3 areas if I switch to S5?

    Bad Radio Reception

    Yes, my wife's S3 is on Verizon as well. But why would a new SIM solve the reception problem?

    Bad Radio Reception

    Compared to my wife's S3, my S4 seems to have worse radio reception. My phone always gets one less bar than the S3 when they are in 4G mode. When we go to places, the S3 will still be in 4G and my S4 goes down to 3G or 1X. Anyone has a suggestion? Thanks.

    How Low Does your Free/Available Memory Go Down to?

    I have an unrooted S4 with Verizon. Lately, I found the available/free memory goes down to 25%. I use S4 mainly for phone, email, IM, and some apps like Chrome and Facebook. I installed an app called Memory Booster Lite. Basically, it just kills processes to free up memory. Each time, after the...

    KitKat stock email app for reading Yahoo mail: sync issue

    I found the root cause of the problem. The KitKat upgrade changed the settings of the stock mail app. Before the upgrade, I had the setting for syncing 2 weeks of email. The upgrade changed the setting to all mail. Since I have a large number of email, it was very slow to update the email read...

    KitKat stock email app for reading Yahoo mail: sync issue

    Thanks. But it is probably not an update time issue. If I delete an email message on desktop Yahoo mail, the message on S4 will get deleted as well. It is the message that I read on desktop Yahoo mail will still show unread on S4. I did not have this problem before the KitKat upgrade....

    KitKat stock email app for reading Yahoo mail: sync issue

    I have been using the stock email app for reading Yahoo mail. After the KitKat upgrade, there seems to be a sync issue. Before the upgrade, if I read the Yahoo mail on my desktop PC, the mail would show up as read on Samsung S4 stock email app. After the upgrade, these read emails still show as...

    What programs to turn off? (KitKat)

    I upgraded my S4 to the latest version 4.4 KitKat. I would like to turn off all programs I don't need so that battery can last longer and the UI can run faster. I use my S4 mainly for email, IM, phone calls, and some apps. I don't really want to use Samsung's and Verizon's apps. As an example...

    Please recommend the best wired earphone/headset for calls

    Thanks all. I bought the Apple earpods and they work very well. I think it is the best earphone/microphone I have owned. I have problems with my DNA's microphone and people complain that my speech sounds static. So I had been looking and trying various earphones/microphones. Glad I have found...
