    Inaccurate GPS tracking in cloudy weather on TWO S7's

    I have been having problems on and off all weekend, navigating a 5 hour trip. Often, Google Maps shows me on a side street rather than the freeway, and tries to re-route me back to the highway.

    shutter speed

    The shutter sound may have been instant, but the time to take the picture is still the same. Only a SLR (Single Lens Reflex; DSLR for the Digital/ non-film version) or mirrorless camera has an instant shutter. Phone cameras use the same technology as a "point and shoot" camera, which has a...

    help me

    You may want to stay at 32MB. Some people have had issues (me included) with 64MB cards. Occasionally I get an error message that my SD card was unexpectedly removed, then it reloads. I've tried a few fixes, even reformatted my card to FAT32 after backing up my data, but I still get the error...

    Annoying music plays over and over while dialing?

    Do you hear it for every different number you dial? If it's just a few, it might be a ringback tone.

    If you're not buying a refurbished S4 from Verizon directly, make sure whatever you buy is the Verizon version and not rooted, or a demo phone.

    Switching from Droid X2 to samsung galaxy S4 without upgrade grandfathered unlimited 3g help?

    I did the same switch when the S4 was released. (Anyone want a cheap Droid X2?) I paid full price and stretched it over 12 months in order to keep unlimited data. You have to do it in a Verizon store, though, because the side shops (at least last May) couldn't do the payment part.

    Yesterday I was intermittently going through this forum and other web pages. Somehow 6 pages got opened. when I tried to touch the number icon in the top right corner so I could close them, the browser did not respond. I power cycled my phone and still had the same problem. The only thing I...

    After update....

    Do you have to do a "factory" reset (clearing user data), or will a simple power cycle fix it?

    Group texting with iPhone friends

    Maybe some in the group are not replying to all but only individually. You can't control how everyone else replies. if it's intermittent like that what I would think.

    Adapt Sound...Makes a good difference!

    Adapt sound setup guides you through a mini hearing test, so it is very user-specific. Make sure you are in a nearly soundproof room without distractions when you set it up. I ran through it a few times with similar results. I thought my hearing was getting bad until I saw the original post above!

    S4 got wet, still works, but...

    I've even used my phone while inside the zip lock bag. I had to adjust the volume for a call, but the screen still responded while the bag.
