    Overrated lag machine

    What exactly are these lag issues some people say everyone is having? The few S4's ive seen have had no noticeable issues. Is it multiple apps, not enough ram, or are you talking signal issues? I don't think Ive heard anyone describe there specific situation so it could be a variety of issues...

    Receive SMS -> screen turns on

    I have noticed this as well but I like it as it lets me go right to the sms from lock screen unlike before on my gs3. I have found this has not affected battery life on my phone so im not worried, I think the screens just turns back off even if its in your pocket.

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

    Mine is an improvement over my s3 as well I pick up better lte signal and in places I only had 3g before. But its not a huge improvement, knowing Samsung is known for weaker radios I inquired and they said improved radio over s3. But if you need a strong radio and live in rural area of are...

    Overrated lag machine

    BS...My brother switched from outdated iphone platform to s4 because he saw how much better my old gs3 was over his tiny featureless iphone. And he cant believe the difference he can actually customize his phone. But after jb and Verizon totally blew the last updates and ruined many good s3's I...

    Update has been pulled!

    The stupid tech I just talked to didn't even know there was a issue, or that's what she said. She knew nothing of pulling this update so stop spreading these rumors. We all know Verizon takes way longer to fix issues.

    Update Has Screwed Up 4G

    Yea this issue is not caused by that caller id app cause I disabled it right away. As forced Verizon spam it cant be deleted normally. I still barely get service. Verizon tech support is so worthless they wont even admit a problem, first blaming Samsung for the issue... All the normal...

    Goodbye Galaxy S3

    Most people know that the GS line of phones don't have the strongest radios in them that's part of the reason there sar levels are usually so low. Its not the best phone for those in rural areas or at the edge of signal areas. Works perfect for me though.

    Cell standby??

    I noticed mine had drained as well this morning, when I checked my cell standby had drained it. It said I had lost signal for a hour or so and was draining the batt constanly searching for signal. It drains real fast when this is the case. Probly a verizon screw up as usual.

    Screen brightness is abysmal...

    Like most the only time I need 100 brightness is in direct sunlight on screen and then I can still see it fine, probly better then most. Maybe you do have a bad screen or are using a really crappy screen protector. Mine usually stays at 75% unless i know I will need to extend my battery life...

    Hate to admit this....

    If you think its such a behemoth then get something smaller, wait for the s3 mini, or stick with the outdated iphone5. This phone has an inch larger screen then the iphone and weighs less then an ounce more.

    Verizon Billing - over billing for data - heads up!

    Go to the verizon website and check the detailed data usage for your last months bill it should show daily how much data you used. I had to do it once when they overbilled me for my first month with this phone and didnt tell me exactly how much data I was prorated, so I was refunded my $10 fee...

    New software update: VRALHE

    Theres more then likely some tweaks in the update that they wont tell us. Also what ever they did it fixed my update service unavailable problem, so when JB comes down in 4 or 5 months i will be ready for it.:-\
