    galaxy s4 mini, battery life, and overall phone

    i find the best way to keep the s4 mini battery in check is to, let the phone completely run out of charge, till it turns itself off, then put it on charge overnite without turning on the phone, this has the result of resetting the battery, after doing this the charge should last longer, i do...

    Sigh....it's only the S4 by name

    Re: Sigh....it's only the S4 by name/Alex Dobbie I recently changed from my s4 to the s4mini, i dont find the screen a problem, i think most people wouldnt be able to see the difference, unless you have the phones side by side, i for one sold my s4 because of the size, it was just too big to...

    Good thin and light protection for Galaxy S4?

    have a look at tech 21, s cases, i use one and there really good, not too bulky, and would probably protect against a drop.

    I've killed my phone!

    if your having problems, and now because you can use your phone again, try resetting the phone to factory settings, this will restore the phone to the same settings when you first turned it on, and after that you can then go and customise to the way you like it.

    Samsung has software issues

    I also found that by, turning off 4g, it stops my s4 searching for a signal all the time, as in the uk the 4g signal is not that good yet, so i have my phone set to 3g,2g only, thats made a difference aswell, probably in a years time when 4g has been running a while it might be worth turning 4g...

    Samsung has software issues

    ive found that shutting down things like google location, and play store make a difference, before i go to bed, i close all apps, wifi, gps,data,bluetooth, ive also only got 4 homescreens running, this gives a 4% usage over nite, and only turn on things like wifi, gps,bluetooth, data when...

    S4 not as good as an iPhone

    not in the uk its not, all apple products are over priced in the uk, which is one reason i would never be interested. apple and value for money, should never be used in the same sentence, OVERHYPED AND OVERPRICED AND OVER HERE.

    S4 not as good as an iPhone

    it still amazes me that this thread is still going, i couldnt care less if people think the iphone is better than my phone, i didnt pay an iphone price for my phone that will do the same things an iphone can do, if people get so upset about which phone is better how shallow does that make...
