That's what I did here and it worked. The phone supports LTE (4G), and that's the default setting. But, a) I don't have a 4G plan, and b) here in Brazil 4G coverage is still very low. I changed my settings to GSM/WCDMA Auto-Select (i.e. 2G or 3G, whatever is available),and it works fine ever since.

I've always used cases and screen protectors. The advantage is that after a year or so the phone looks brand new and is easy to sell. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I use Avast! since my Galaxy Ace. It's free and great. Can track and send commands to the phone from their website or via SMS. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I also recommend Helium (formerly Carbon). Perfect for non rooted devices. I used Titanium on my other rooted devices but don't plan/need to root my S4. There's the initial small hassle for non rooted devices of running the desktop app, and having to do it again whenever the phone is turned...

Otterbox Defender. Loving it. Phone dropped, and all fine! Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I find the opposite here. I find it has to do a lot with the quality of the network connection. 2G or 3G, poor. Wi-Fi, OK. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

Try cleaning it, and remove any cover or protective screen. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I have one, and I'm really pleased with it. Yes, the buttons are Sometimes a bit stiff but I think they're improving with time. Still, this type of protection will have this drawback. Cases that don't cover the buttons won't protect them. An idea is to check the alignment of the bits inside...

Get application AndroSensor, by Fiv Asim. Check if values of proximity sensor change as you move your hand close to the sensor. Check light sensor as well. Whatever the result is, try and remember about any app you installed recently and remove them, and reboot the phone. No luck? Next try...

Three options I can offer: 1. Export them to a vCard file, and then import them in your Google account. 2. Just use a google account to sync them. 3. Use a service like Memotoo.com. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I use SlideIT keyboard. Although the internal one is good, having to tap twice to find the comma was bad. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

Settings, Connections, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Data Connection There you have some options. LTE = 4G WCDMA = 3G GSM = 2G Try anything except LTE. I use WCDMA/GSM for it to use 2G or 3G, whatever is available. This is your best try. To save battery when not browsing internet I leave...

BR is for Brazil. While lots of things can be cheaper, many others aren't. Cell phones and services,cars, and electronics in general are pretty expensive. Too many taxes, basically. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

Many ways. I've been using www.memotoo.com since my Palm. You can also export from iCloud to vCard file and then import in to Gmail, and then they'll be updated on your phone. Sent from my GT-I9505 using AC Forums mobile app

I had Google Now, and the same problem. But Google Now wasn't really good for me: couldn't change the route, would never remind me when I needed, and used lots of battery. Disabled it, and use S-Voice occasionally. I found that Google Framework, Maps, and others cause more battery use. I...
