    Charging Efficiency

    Make sure to use Samsung OEM USB cable, makes a difference if you're using after market cable. Is your charger reliable one? You can install Galaxy charging current lite to see if you're getting enough juice (not 100% accurate but you can definetely see the difference when you're using non-OEM...

    What program to sync with

    I have about 2,500 songs on itunes, I used Easy Phone Sync to sync my entire library and adding new songs one by one using USB connection. Tried Kies too but it syncs new files on top of old ones creating pile of duplicates. Make a shortcut on your desktop for your phone's music folder for easy...

    S4 bluetooth connection question...

    Is there a way to have S4's bluetooth to auto-switch to one of your 'paired' devices when you turne it on? I'm pretty sure my iPhone 4S auto switched to new devices whenever I turned it on. (I have 5 paired devices, car, main headset, stereo clip and two backups) Received a private call today...

    USB charging in the car issues

    I had couple of old car chargers (1.0amp max output) I used to charge my iPhone and it wouldn't charge my S4. Your best bet is to get a 2.0amp car charger adapter and use OEM USB cable. I bought both from eBay and they're pretty cheap.

    USB charging in the car issues

    Is your car's USB output 1.0amp or less? Buy a cig. lighter charger with 2.0 or 2.1amp and use the OEM S4 charger cable. I've tested it myself using different combinations of OEM S4 charger, after market charger, OEM cable and non-OEM cable and found out non-OEM charger/cable combo takes...

    iPhone's Activator for Android?

    Yeah, I switched from LauncherPro to Apex a few days ago. Gesture shortcuts could only open apps not functions. I just need couple of hard button shortcuts to control music player, like "hold volume up" for next track and "hold down" for prev. track. I've always had my iPhone jailbroken and...

    New to Android. Desperate for help with music/media management.

    I just got done with my itunes library transfer. I too love the sync ability of itunes/iphone. S4's stock music player doesn't let you create smart playlist or edit the tags. I tried couple of syncing methods and music apps and found the following to be the best solution for me (for now)...

    Default applications' Icons

    I just finished setting up Apex (free) and I think this one is far better than LauncherPro. It does everything LauncherPro can and more. Try it, you'll love it. Posted via Android Central App

    Default applications' Icons

    Get the LauncherPro, you can customize the icon with your own images and also personalize your homescreen completely. I love this one!

    iPhone's Activator for Android?

    I just switched from jailbroken iPhone 5 to S4 and one thing I miss the most is 'Activator' tweak. If you're not familiar with Activator, it's button and gesture based shortcut to whatever you want your phone to do. Is there's a such thing for android?

    Bluetooth signal strength

    Anyone noticed S4's bluetooth signal is much weaker than iPhone's? I have four bluetooth headsets/headphones and they all get staticky & lose connection at around 10 ft. I used to get 20 ~ 30 ft with iPhone. Is there a way to boost S4's bluetooth signal?
