    Verizon software update

    So does having the wifi toggle take away the "ongoing processes" wifi in the notification bar? if so it would be worth factory resetting and freeing up more space on the notifcation bar

    Downloading Music From Play Store on S4

    Hey Everyone, This is a noobish question, but after having the S4 for a couple of months I finally decided to buy a song off the play store.

    I purchased two OEM Samsung Chargers and they look suspect to me -- your thoughts?

    I bought that same charger off the ShopAndroid store a couple of weeks. While it looks exactly like the charger that came with my S4, the printing is slightly different from the one that came with my S4. Both say 2 amps though. I did not notice any difference in charge times so far.

    Make SMS messages show up on lock screen?

    Chomp SMS is pretty good when it comes to getting SMS on the lock screen. There's some pretty good settings for quick reply as well.

    How's the signal strength of the Verizon Galaxy S4?

    Coming from an iphone 4, and my signal is a lot weaker at my office here in Midtown NYC. 4G is showing on top, but nothing is connecting. On my I4, I had no problem with 3g. For some reason my S4 is not attempting to connect via 3G either. Is there a way to disable 4G and use 3G only at times...
