Yes that search in "My Files" has an automatic "pre" or "post" wild card effect .. very nice. Since I also have a huge number of audio files on my external SD card, it is very handy to find specific audio files without explicitly having to launch my favorite audio player and navigate through...

Thanks for the response about ES File Explorer. I was hoping to find a way without adding an extra app. Under 4.2.2 I've found something that speeds up specific FOLDER access a bit: - drag the "My Files" app from Apps to one of the home screens. Then with My Files app open, Menu and "Shortcut"...

Is it possible to add SHORTCUTS to files in folders added to a home-screen? I know how to create the custom home-screen folder. For example, I have a ppt file on my added SD card in a few subfolders. Instead of having to navigate using My Files, I'd like to have a shortcut directly to that ppt...

This problem has been fixed with the latest firmware update (measured on my SGH-I337M). All other great headphone audio characteristics (frequency response, low noise, distortion etc.) have not been affected by the update, so the problem was some sort of digital artifact and not a limitation of...

Updated to the latest firmware with Bell Mobility for SGH-I337M. I have confirmed that the "crackle" problem is gone and that all audio characteristics (frequency response, distortion, noise) have not changed (see update to web page posted above). So this is really good news.

thanks. I noticed that only some of the downloaded apps have that button enabled (e.g. Seagate Media app. has it disabled). What determines this?

thanks but that only has info on rooting/security stuff. Can anyone else comment on what differences they observe (apart from the transparent status bar)? For example, I can't find the Apps2SD app that someone said was new.

Is there a detailed description anywhere of the changes made in update I337MVLUAMG1?

I almost got an HTC One instead of an S4. I'm sure the One via good headphones sounds fabulous. Different than the S4? I don't know ...maybe. I'm setting up a "quick switching system" between 2 smartphones and the same headphones so I can quickly toggle back/forth to see if I can hear a...

I have confirmed that the recent S4 Samsung system update has completely fixed the "crackle" problem that many owners have reported with the S4 i9505 and SGH-I337 for low-impedance headphones. The problem is therefore not a hardware design limitation nor an intrinsic issue with the Qualcomm...

I like the default Samsung Music player app (SMP) on my S4 (but dislike Googles Play music app and disabled it completely). I really like how SMP supports DLNA ("Allshare ..") and can stream my music (or photos from Gallery) from my S4 easily to several devices on my WiFi network. Samsung is...

also stay away from the standard A440 (tuning fork frequency) and The Who's My Generation

there is probably a bit of variation of that nominal impedance value. Don't forget that the impedance depends on frequency and what seems to matter is the impedance value below ~ 500 Hz or so. Also, since there have been reports of varying nominal audio output levels in some S4 phones, that...

Thanks for the comments. I decided to just disable Play Music completely (after removing its updates) and that seems to do the trick. I'm pretty happy with Samsung's default Music app which has really good support for DLNA (since it is Samsung) and nearby devices. I have a huge music database...

Why does Google Play music sometimes (often) start automatically in the background (as visible in Active applications) when I only launch Samsung's default Music player?
