    App to SD Card

    Yeah, it sucks.... The only practical way to do what you want, requires that you "root" your phone first. There are quite a few utilities out there that support mounting the external SD card "as if" it was the internal storage... but these requires root.

    no spell checking in Google Play Edition Galaxy S4?

    Yeah, you're right... I played with the settings of the "Google Keyboard" too... There is a setting for how "aggressive" the autocorrect is, but turning it completely off doesn't turn on spell checking.

    no spell checking in Google Play Edition Galaxy S4?

    Well, let's try some obvious stuff first... from Setting, go to "Language and Input". There should be a checkbox for "Spell checker". It (obviously) should be checked.

    Downloaded/saved photos issue.

    As for the SD card part of your question.... No, there is no practical way to change the path where these files are stored. You can use a 3rd-part file manager apps, to manually cut-n-paste the files to the SD card. A better solution, if you're rooted, is that you can do some magic to make...

    Let the count down to 4.3 update begin...

    I'm actually kinda surprised that somebody hasn't already started a thread that says: "Well, 4.3 was officially released, and Nexus devices are getting it now.... how long until GPe devices will get it?" This will be a good test to see how a Nexus vs GPe phone gets "timely updates". Should...

    Mp3 as custom ringtone?

    I don't have a "media storage" option... When I go to Settings -> Sound -> Phone Ringtone, all I get is a list of ringtones in a radio button list.

    Mp3 as custom ringtone?

    Hey, I was just playing with my new Galaxy S4 GPe... but I can't seem to get custom ringtones to work. I just did what I've always done... I just copied my custom ringtone MP3 file into the Ringtones directory. But, the new song doesn't show up in the list of ringtones for me to select it...

    Google Edition Doesn't save pictures to memory card

    So, you're saying that I can't mount/unmount an external SD card in newer versions of Android? And that I can't read/write to that mounted device in newer versions of Android? And, that my applications that specifically target reading/writing to an external SD card will cease to do so in new...
