I've seen an issue when I launch Google Maps - 1 out of 2 times it asks me to turn on GPS Location services, which somehow turned off. I'm pretty sure I've never 'unticked' that option in settings since I've owned the S4. If you hit OK, it doesn't turn it on, just dumps you into settings. I...

Root no, but I can still tether via FoxFi (w/unlimited). Hint: Instead of canceling the Verizon Hotspot alert that comes up, just hit the home button.

Wow. A little levity and harmless fun reared its ugly head! A veritable sh!tstorm!! Next time you see an S4 owner get jiggy with his remote at a bar, run him through with a bar spork!

Hi guys, For some reason, every time I want to access Visual Voicemail, it asks me for the password again, then syncs up with Verizon for validation - and goes through the process of setting up visual voicemail for the first time. Anyone else having that issue, or had it and found a fix? Get's...

Thanks for that. I got FoxFi (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anrdoezrs.net%2Flinks%2F100048248%2Ftype%2Fdlg%2Fsid%2FUUacUvbUpU2810039%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.foxfi&token=KCR81CDf) working too - but again, I get that big...

Hi all, This might be supposition, but it appears any tethering app that does not require rooting brings up Verizon's Mobile Hotspot in the background. Not sure I like that... seems like we're forced to use that app (even if its in the background.) I have this sneaking suspicion that one that...

If you are referring to the Samsung drivers for the S4, AT&T and Verizon use the same set. Right now that's version 1.5.14.0. Did you try this procedure for Verizon root? [GUIDE] Root for Verizon Galaxy S4 ***Updated 5/23 - 4:30 PM*** - xda-developers That worked perfectly for me.

Not sure... this didn't seem to work on my Verizon S4 - I got the SU icon but no SU access. However, this guide worked splendidly: [GUIDE] Root for Verizon Galaxy S4 ***Updated 5/23 - 9:30 AM*** - xda-developers I think the Verizon version requires a temporary firmware change to the...

Yeah, I've been looking to for a Samsung version for the s4 to no avail. Closest option I've seen so far is the iBolt version: Amazon.com: iBOLT xProDock Active Car Dock/Holder/Mount for Samsung Galaxy S 3, S4 & Note 2. Works with all cases.: Cell Phones & Accessories Unfortunately, it's not a...

Yikes, it seems there is a little lack of clarity here, and some legitimate beginner questions that we can help out with. So this will be a little elementary for many, I apologize ahead of time. Bloatware is the extra software that your phone manufacturer or carrier puts on your phone. Often...

I looked at the specs, user manual, and some pics I could find and have found no evidence that even the smallest holes are there for a lanyard strap. I'm super paranoid now as I lost my last phone when it fell off the (supposedly) secure mount on my motorcycle - whilst riding on a busy freeway...
