    Does anyone find S Health useful?

    I'm a runner and I don't find it to be useful (maybe occasionally useful when I'm figuring out a new route and how far it is, but I have a lot of tools for that). I also used a Fitbit for a while. The Fitbit seemed better, but I don't take my phone when I run and I hate wearing watches and...

    [CLOSED] Contest: Win an Honor 5X from Android Central!

    Impressive for $200, that's for sure. I like the size and I love that the display resolution isn't stupid high.

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X in our Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    A 6P would be pretty swell. It doesn't have everything I want, but it's pretty darn close. Plus, pure Android has got to be worth a try, eh? I would love it if it was smoother, more responsive without all the crap that AT&T and Sammy gave me on my GS4.

    [Galaxy S4] Camera Pictures: Let's see what you got!

    Re: [Galaxy S4] Camera Pictures: Lets see what you got! Nothing amazing, but I liked the spiky green flower. =)

    A bunch of questions from a Verizon customer considering the S4

    It's funny you should mention that. I am also finding it to be slightly jarring from a user experience. It's not a deal breaker (and it's too late, I already have it!), but the incongruity of it compared to the otherwise sublimely responsive touchscreen is notable.

    A bunch of questions from a Verizon customer considering the S4

    I can only speak to 2 and 4 as I've never used unaltered Android. I disabled (or hid) almost all the AT&T and Samsung branded stuff and use Google everything, so long as it's available. Works well. As for WatchON, I have yet to find anything it doesn't work with, but my sample size is...

    If iPhone 5 also has a 5-inch screen, would you still be getting the Galaxy S4?

    Most likely just hyperbole. Been too long since I owned an iPhone for me to weigh in. I'm not a real fan of the relatively massive bezels on iPhones, so unless that was fixed I wouldn't go back. I picked my phone in part due to the form factor and that includes not just screen size, but...

    How do you open the texting app from the lock screen text message notification?

    I haven't installed Handcent on my S4 yet, but it worked that way on my Atrix.

    What phone will you be upgrading FROM?

    Motorola dinosaur -> Nokia dinosaur -> iPhone 3GS -> Motorola Atrix -> Samsung Galaxy S4. Starting with the iPhone, then the Atrix and now this, my phone tech just keeps getting better. Though I have to say that the jump from the iPhone to the Atrix wasn't nearly as huge as the jumps...

    are you using your new sensors?

    I turned the Air Gestures off. Can't stand them. I might try them again at a later date but for now, I'm not a fan.
