Some is Google related, to be sure. Google stopped the radio from Ice Cream Sandwich onwards. But HTC added it back. As long as the manufacturer has the correct chip and antenna it can be added back. There are apps to do so but apparently the S4 has no antenna. Google also stopped ability to...

Maybe not over just this issue but the reasons are mounting. No FM radio any more. No ability to change what is is the dock along the bottom. And more. The list is growing. Yes most of these issues can be solved with apps, but why should there be the need to do so...and overburden the OS...when...

You clearly don't get many emails and/or messages. My phone is pinging all day with work related stuff. My old HTC phones (and from posts on this forum, other brands too) I would just push "on" and the message notification is there to see. Message not important? Ignore. Message important, enter...

No, no, no, no and no again. This works perfectly well on my HTC Sensation (and before that my HTC legend) with a PIN code. When a message came through and the phone beeped and/or vibrated a punch on the on/off button opened the screen and the notification was there to see (in summary, e.g mail...

Seems like every phone can do it except S4. Beginning to regret not going with the HTC One.

And you're playing games like that on a piddly 5" screen!!

It is off topic. It's also incorrect. Torque relates to force. A automobile with high HP but relatively low torque will go fast but not have the "grunt" to tow a trailer. e.g. Subaru WRX.

"I was under the impression that Google did away with the ability to natively move apps to sd in ics" The key word there is 'natively'. This just means it is up to manufacturers to include it in their phone firmware. My old HTC Sensation with ICS still has this feature.

I have to agree with you. My HTC Sensation is post ICS instal and the option to move apps to SD still exits and works lika it should. So whilst Google may have altered the defaults in the OS it seems manufacturers can override this if they choose to. Samsung clearly chooses not to.
