    Non-Verizon Sim?

    Hello! I really need to get rid of the "This Sim card is from an Unknown source" error on my Verizon Galaxy S4. I am abroad, and Verizon lied to me about the phone being unlocked for use with an international SIM card, so I rooted it and I am trying to unlock it myself. I installed CWM and I...

    International Voltage Conversion?

    Hello! I will be traveling to Australia for six months in a few days, so I need to buy a power adapter. However, does anybody know if I also need a voltage converter? I have heard that new devices will convert the voltage for you, but I'd really rather not fry my S4. Thank you!

    Emails have stopped updating?

    Hello! I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it. My emails have stopped updating on my S4. I didn't change any of the settings, and I still have the phone set to receive new emails every 15 minutes, but not only does it not do this, I am also never notified...

    Blinking Screen?

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced a very fast blinking screen in direct sunlight? Whenever I use my phone outside, the screen blinks really rapidly and I can't look at it for too long. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or not. Also, the brightness outside...

    Really Bad Battery Life?

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat and I'm not sure whether to return it or not. I was at 5% with about 13 hours and 10 minutes without charging which isn't nearly as much as many other people claim to be getting. I'm thinking it might be a bad battery?

    Really Bad Battery Life?

    Hello, so I have been experiencing some poor battery life. I barely use my phone (I don't play games on it or use it very often at all except for text messages and emails occasionally) and I don't understand why it's draining so quickly. I have had battery saver on since yesterday morning. My...

    Is Verizon Samsung GS4 GSM unlocked for international use ?

    Re: Is verizon Samsung GS4 GSM unlocked for international use ? I don't know if this will help you, but I just talked to a verizon rep on the phone to find this out because I am going abroad in the fall, and she told me that all of their 4G phones are "global ready" which means they will work...

    Continuous icons in the App Drawer?

    Hello! This is just a minor annoyance that I realized my old Android phone also had. In your app panel, there is always one missing app on the bottom right corner, even though there are more on the next page. Is there any way to fix this to make it so the apps are continuous and every page is...

    Voice cutting out on Calls?

    Hey, I just got my S4 yesterday, and so far, with all the calls that I have made, each person on the other end has experienced the same thing: My voice cuts out on their end and they can't hear me. It works fine at the beginning of the call, then nobody can hear me. Did I get a bad phone? Is the...
