    Apps open when I am talking on the phone

    Thank You! My Mom has been complaining about that for a while now! My stepfather, Mom, & me all have the Galaxy S4. I've never had that problem and didn't know about that setting. Mine was checked and I'm able to press the numbers for the answering machine menus. My Mom & stepfather's...

    My Play Lists and Ringtone won't stick

    I'm having the same problems with ringtones. Main ringtone is fine and notification tone are fine. The contact ringtones & notification tones change. Notification tones change to numbers sometimes so when I get a text it just vibrates. I don't know when or why that happens.

    Samsung Galaxy S4 - Connection Problems

    Now the messages I want to delete seem to be working. But you never know. Very odd!!!! Just installed the Yahoo Mail app and it updated my email right away. NO failure messages! So I think I'll use it and see what happens.

    Samsung Galaxy S4 - Connection Problems

    I went ahead and did the update on my phone for Galaxy S4 from 4.2.2 to 4.3. The firmware also updated so I got around that problem. I have T-Mobile. Now that I have the update, I have another puzzling thing. Deleting Text Messages has changed. You used to be able to click on the MENU key...

    Samsung Galaxy S4 Profile Issues and Drop Calls

    For those people who get dropped calls with the Samsung Galaxy S4, try this: SETTINGS, MORE NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS, NETWORK MODES. (I think that's the last one) Switch from the top 4GLTE to the 2nd one. I went to the T-Mobile store and they said T-Mobile is just rolling out the 4GLTE and...

    Samsung Galaxy S4 Profile Issues and Drop Calls

    We have a tower right by us. So nobody really knows huh? It appears when they start talking the signal strength goes up now. I don't know if there's some power saving thing so the signal is low when not in use? My Mom said she was able to talk longer on it the other night but I don't know if...

    Samsung Galaxy S4 Profile Issues and Drop Calls

    I don't have the S4 but my Mom & Stepfather have them. They worked fine for a while although my Mom had problems with the new technology. Now they have 1 bar for their signal and calls last about 2 minutes. Stepfather called T-Mobile customer service and they were shocked & stumped. Said...
