Ive had the update for almost a week. Zero problems so far

I did this once after Kitkat and never needed the reset. The overheating stopped and battery life is dramatically better than pre-Kitkat

I just went and turned off the Caller ID app and it had no effect on the ghost 4G icon. So I guess it does not work for every phone?

After Kitkat update I had very hot phone. So I followed advice here and did the reset option to clear cache (just that, not a full factory reset). Absolutely no problems. Wifi seems more stable, no overheating. Seems to be ok right now. For those who have not tried the cache clearing, I...

The only real problem I notice is overheating. Just general use seems to make it heat up, and I haven't made any calls yet in Kitkat. Hating the white battery icon, just sayin' ;)

I have been a Verizon customer for many years, long before we had wireless. Many times I have had to call them about a service or device problem. On exactly 2 occasions I reached someone who understood what my problem was, and was able to help. All the other times I was prodded to upgrade or...

Re: [Galaxy S4] Camera Pictures: Lets see what you got! Taken on 28 November, in Newport RI

I just took some amazingly good pix with the S4. The other camera was not with me, so I used the S4 and was impressed. Change settings to largest file, highest resolution

Re: WiFi issues on 4.3 Same for me (minus the factory reset). Turning wifi off, then on fixes it, but this started with the 4.3 update.

I may do that or just leave it alone. I only have one other person who'd ever need my password anyway so it's not a big deal really. Really great to have the Galaxy S4 connect so fast and smooth to the wifi now..thanks for the help :)

I notice you have the Kindle app disabled. This is one of my favorites. In some ways it's better than a Kindle reader device, esp since it produces color images on the phone. I now use it much more often than the Kindle reader (one less device to carry around) But thanks for the advice on...

Hello-- I have a case for the GS4 from Evecase. It's wallet-type and has the flip cover, but when I'm using the phone I never close the cover, nor do I have any credit cards or anything in the inner windows. When the phone is in this case, the screen will go black and become unresponsive after a...

First of all, "Ouch!" I know what broken limbs are like... Thanks mhinc for the advice. I actually tried what you suggested and it did not seem to 'take' when I saved the setting. I'll give it another look: it was a bit intimidating, not being certain what I was changing. The current password...

Thank you. This is useful. I did not know you could still have wifi in airplane mode. I just tried it with the GS4 (with 4.3 update) and it works fine :)
