What apps can I turn off or force stop without negatively affecting the system There are SO many pre-installed apps on this phone that it's driving me crazy. I don't mind that the icons don't go away, but I would like to limit the amount of memory and power that these things are utilizing. I'm...

Up until this point my phone has been working pretty well. However, for the past month or so I'm having no end of trouble working with my photo gallery. I am using the gallery that came installed in my SPH-L720. First, when I wanted to delete a photo, the gallery would allow me to bring up...

Thanks for the reply Tom, but I'm not sure what it means to find a rooted stock ROM. I've read some pages regarding ODIN, and it appears to be more complicated than I can decipher. Can you direct me somewhere I can find instructions I can understand??

I am having the worst time updating to Lollipop. I too have a Sprint Galaxy s4, SPH-L720. The software has been downloaded to my phone at least four times. However when I attempt to install, each update has been aborted. The first error code I get is “/system/bin/ddexe” has unexpected...

It's not all of the albums in the gallery, just the camera album. I can bring it up, but can complete no other function. I can bring up the menu, but cannot select or delete any of the photos, and there are a number of duplicates I'd love to get rid of. The camera gallery just freezes and...

I was having the same ridiculous problem. It took me DAYS to finally get my phone rooted. The way it finally worked was after I googled the request for root utilizing the carrier, phone name, model number. It still took me 4.5 hours to get it right. I had to do it twice, and THEN my phone...

And so, I put the card back in my phone to check it, and of course, it still says 'blank sd card.'

Thanks for that. I used a different adapter and the removable storage is now visible as drive G. I cannot browse the files or auto play because the pc wants me to format the disk, which will erase everything. How'm I doin?

Well Wizzrah, and first of all I thank you for replying, I am pretty unschooled about the way I might go about plugging the card into my pc. I have what is supposed to be a device for that purpose, but the card is too small for any of the ports. When I put the card back into my phone, and...

I have no idea how this might have happened, but 80% of my music and photo files are gone. I understand that there is supposed to be some way to recover these files, but I am at a loss to figure it out. I've looked at lots of 'solutions' online, and watched a number of instructive videos on...

Okay, I've been having an okay time with my Galaxy S4......until today. My phone rang and it wasn't the ringtone I set. When I went to reset it I found my music gone.....maybe 50 songs. Then I looked at my photo gallery, and the images were gone. Sooooooooo, my SD card is blank, and I can't...

Yeah no.......thanks a bunch Joe, but maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. The video is in the default app, Messaging, but when I open the app, there is no folder to save to, and the long press doesn't work. What am I not understanding??

I received a little video, by text, from a cousin I haven't seen for ages. It appears that I don't know how to save it, and I want to. Can someone help me do this, please? janice

PLEASE PLEASE Help with Hands Free Mode So far no one has been able to help me. Does anyone else have this voice that keeps reactivating ever half hour?!?!? I turn it off.....it comes back on, by itself. It's making me crazy. Janice :confused:

Re: HELP with Hands Free I've always known how to turn it off.......it just keeps turning itself back on. How do I keep it off?????????
