When at home my S4 sits on the end table beside me. I've noticed that every now and then it wakes on (screen comes on) and then it goes back to sleep (standby). I think it's probably normal but has anyone else noticed this? If so, what is this behavior for? Does it have to come out of standby...

I'm on ATT and find the S4 to have good reception. I remember reading one review that stated that the radio in the S4 was excellent. Sorry I don't remember which review. I had a S3 before which also had good reception. My daughter has Sprint and while she's satisfied with it, she realizes that...

On the day that the ATT S4 was released, my Costco had 10. You have 90 days to return it and you get an accessoriy package with it (car charger and other stuff).

Good commercial, LMAO. I had a Samsung Focus (Windows Phone). I loved it, but it wasn't ready for prime time. I think if Microsoft knew how to market a phone and support it, then Android would be in trouble. Remember in the old days VHS vs Beta? Beta was superior but VHS won out because it...

I turned developer mode on the phone (settings>about phone tap build number 7 times) but was wondering how to turn it off.

I knew there would probably be an easier way but just didn't have the time (yeah I know it takes time to reset). This occurred soon after my update to jellybean and at that time I didn't do a reset. So I thought what the heck, I need a factory reset anyway. IMHO it's always best to do a factory...

Yes, I tried disabling smart stay, pulling battery and all the other tricks. None of those worked. Finally I just did a factory reset and all's good now.

I had the exact problem and the only thing I found to fix it was do a factory reset.

It is definitely and issue with google play store. I deleted app and purchased it from Amazon ($1.99) and that solved it. Also you can purchase directly from Swiftkey and install. Swiftkey is aware of problem and have communicated problem to google.

If I understand the question correctly, then LightFlow from google store should do the trick.

There is a volume boost for phone calls that are in progress. It may need to be turned on. When in the phone app, choose settings and enable "Use extra vol. for calls". During a phone call there will be an option on the screen to boost volume.

I believe if you goto S Voice and under settings uncheck "Open Via the Home Key", that will solve your problem.

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in. In theory you shouldn't have to do a factory reset. But it doesn't hurt to do one (other than having to restore data and other stuff). Problems can arise because the programs that you've installed may need to be re-installed to have them work properly. A...

I've had minor issues also. I finally did a factory reset and it solved everything. It's really a good idea to do a factory reset when you do a major upgrade. Before you do a factory reset, power down and remove the battery for at least 5 secs.

Open your phone app (where you can dial a number. Then settings>call forwarding.. The rest should be evident.
