    Google Calendar app vs Stock Calendar....Duplicate notifications.

    I was able to resolve this (see second paragraph). I have a Galaxy S4 upgraded to 5.0.1 OS. I installed Google Calendar APP and then had the same duplicate notification issue. But as some suggested, I could not uncheck "show notifications" (checkbox was greyed out) in Application Manager, I...

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    Regarding the microphone being disabled: I have the Swiftkey Keyboard on a Galaxy S4 and the microphone function is still available after uninstalling the updates for the Google App. The Swiftkey Keyboard is great, and free. I also disabled automatic updating (done in the Play Store menu). I...

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    Sorry B.Diddy, and everyone, my post #31 to uninstall the "Google Text-to-Speech" app only worked for 2 days. I updated that post twice to say it did not continue to solve the problem. Plus, after thinking about it, why would "Text to Speech" uninstall work anyway when the issue is really with...

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    For Wayne WM: Try what I did (I have the S4 also). See post first post (#31) above by Lanten22. Try it, I think it will work. If not, then try B.Diddy's response to my post (about uninstalling updates in the "Google App.")

    The "Tap to Speak" screen keeps freezing up on me

    Hi, When you suggest going to App Manager and uninstalling updates from the "Google APP," I'm assuming you mean to uninstall the updates from the App named: "Google Text-to-Speech Engine." Is that correct? Because that's what I did and it worked. Tested it using Google voice to text on a few...

    Galaxy S4 (Sprint) --Internal memory usage calculation for pictures, videos wrong?

    Hi Rukbat, Do the following instructions look correct to you for clearing cache, as you suggested, on Galaxy S4? Or is clearing all the browsers' cache and then the cache in the storage menu separate and different methods? PS What the heck is burstlyvideo cache and burstlyimageCache? And do...

    Galaxy S4 (Sprint) --Internal memory usage calculation for pictures, videos wrong?

    Thanks B.Diddy. I found the .thumbnails folder but it was empty. I'm going to try to see how to clear cache, as suggested by Rukbat. Unrelated forum question: Is there a setting where I can receive email notifications when someone replies to a particular post? Thanks...

    Galaxy S4 (Sprint) --Internal memory usage calculation for pictures, videos wrong?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I can't find the thumbnails folder. I'm assuming the "file manager app" is the "My Files" folder? In there, the only things under DCIM are Camera, Optical Reader and 100ANDRO. All of these folders are empty (having deleting all pictures and videos previously). I...

    Galaxy S4 (Sprint) --Internal memory usage calculation for pictures, videos wrong?

    I have a Sprint Galaxy S4. I have NO pictures or videos anywhere on the INTERNAL memory (I deleted them all after backing them up to laptop). But the usage calculation under "Used Space / Pictures/Videos" shows 1.8 GB in "pictures,videos" storage in internal memory. I am sure there are no...

    How to truly get 120 fps slow motion on Galaxy S4?

    In a Galaxy s4: Do I understand this correctly: That you will only truly get 120 fps recording if you choose "x1/2" in the options after choosing "slow motion" (these "speed?" options are in the menu in the video camera icon that appears below the regular video camera icon - after selecting the...
