    Getting Google Now working

    I'm not sure quite how to make it show all the time, but at least make sure it knows where your home and work are - looks like you can set that in Google Now settings, then My Stuff, then Places.

    Shortcuts on Lock Screen

    Ah, that must have been why you didn't see the Shortcuts setting. Yes, apparently with this phone the only way to have widgets or shortcuts on the stock lock screen is to have it in swipe mode. It's still a "lock screen" in the sense that it keeps it from turning on and doing random things in...

    Shortcuts on Lock Screen

    If you click on the word Shortcuts there's actually a sub-menu in there where they can be configured. Took me a minute to figure out as well.

    Now that you have your S4 how do you like it, pros/ cons

    I was able to use this trick to get continuous scrolling on the stock launcher. It requires root, but it's very low risk if you're careful. http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-note-2-rooting-roms-hacks/242013-mod-infinite-scroll-touch-wiz-home-screens.html

    How do I activate GS4 when it arrives..?

    There will be instructions in the box. Last time I did this, I just called a number and an automated system activated the phone without needing to talk to anyone or punch anything in. You can also activate phones on My Verizon online.

    Still haven't received a tracking number, but I called *611 and the automated system was able to confirm my order had shipped.

    Preorder updates..

    I think it has something to do with where the phone will ship from, although I'm not sure. A lot of the old Verizon iPhone 4/iPhone 5 threads have people discussing this.

    Preorder updates..

    My card was also charged today for the full amount. It showed up under temporary authorizations, but that's where all charges sit for a few days before they officially post anyway.
