    Lock Screen notifications and other information

    After reading all of the reviews and holding out for months by denying the download of 4.4.2 I eventually received the download, I postponed it for as long as I could then eventually I realized this was a losing battle. I took the advice of a guru and before I updated to 4.4.2 I removed my SD...

    Disable Messaging lock screen widget

    Lockscreen Policy works for me, it returns the unit to what it was before the 4.3 updates on my previous S3, now all I get is the tiny little icon notification.

    So I have an S4

    I received an S4 as a replacement for an S3 that had serious reception issues; on face value it appeared to be an improvement, however there are some things I cannot modify that are beyond annoying. 1.

    Conundrum

    I did change that particular setting, but unfortunately it does not change the new notification, it is an incredibly large icon and annoying, and when there is a missed call it stills says who it was from, the purpose of a lock screen is privacy, that is now gone, I will be getting a new S4 next...

    Conundrum

    Unfortunately the S4 is my next phone, Samsung has admitted mine is one of the problem phones and they are replacing it free with an S4, so I will see what happens next, I am out nothing for the upgrade and if it does the same thing, I will consider an I-Phone.

    Why so much hate?

    Interesting when it the assumption that the hatred is derived from high expectation’s, my only expectation was that my galaxy functions built into the phone actually function, my hatred is derived from a complete failure of the products claims, not expectations that did not in fact exist.

    USCellular Jellybean (Good/Bad)

    Complete disaster and possibly the final edict in a long list of issues since purchasing the Galaxy S3 (US Celluar) Ordinarily I do not take the time to submit reviews, I am of the opinion that products are what they are, none are flawless and none will ever live up to the advertisements or...
