    Apple Headphones with Galaxy S4?

    Just bought a pair of Apple EarPods to use with my GS4(I hate the default Samsung ear piece because they make my ear feel uncomfortable), the Volume control don't work but the Play/Pause/Answer Phone Call button works. That's good enough for me.

    handbrake settings for s4

    I just use the standard PC preset(Regular->Normal) & m4v, and all my movies looks great(I use MX Player), the file size isn't too much of a problem for me either. As far as resolution I just use the default resolution of the videos ( mine are 640X360, 704X396, 1024X576, 1280X720). I crop all my...

    would leaving my galaxy s4 charging over night do any kind of damage to the battery?

    Some battery data for me today. I first drained the battery down to 15%(playing video 9am- 5:50pm) and then charged back to 100%(6-7pm), then kept the phone playing video while plugged in(after 8pm). As you can see, normally battery temp is in the low 30 C range, charging the phone from 15% to...

    Brightness SUCKS on the S4

    Try a different screen mode? I(Dynamic, 100%) can read my screen just fine outside. Not as good as a HTC One but good enough.

    would leaving my galaxy s4 charging over night do any kind of damage to the battery?

    A discharge cycle for Lithium ion battery is defined as dishcarge the phone the full 100% to 0% so letting the phone charge 1% 100 times uses 1 full discharge cycle just like 0 to 100% one time for a lithium ion battery Link Thus for a Li-ion battery phone like GS4, small partial discharge...

    Why I Bought The Galaxy S4 Over The HTC One

    Not sure what you mean by a 80 inch Mits. But having owned both phones and viewed daylight photos taken from both on my 27" 2560X1440 monitor I can zoom in a lot more on a GS4 picture without encountering blurs.

    Why I Bought The Galaxy S4 Over The HTC One

    I am pretty sure he is talking about trying to enlarge a 4MP photo when viewing on a 3.68MP+ Screen( a 2560X1440 screen for example).

    Why did YOU choose the S4 over every other device?

    I posted this in a why GS4 over HTC One thread, but it should apply here as well so pardon my copy and paste.

    Why I Bought The Galaxy S4 Over The HTC One

    I have used the HTC One for 1 week before going back to ATT store and exchange for a GS4. Reasons being: 1.I couldn't get enough details on the pictures I take with the One. Most of the photos I take are between 10am and noon somewhere outside, and that's where GS4's 13MP shines. HTC One's 4MP...
