    Backup Procedure Before Factory Reset

    My Galaxy S4 is in desperate need of a factory reset. I have done this before, but usually lose something along the way. I would like to be able to do the reset, then restore all of my contacts and SMS messages (I use Go SMS Pro, NOT the most recent version). Do you all have any good...

    Factory Reset

    Just gave in and did a factory reset on my G4, and it helped immensely...so far. Stopped the freezing, overheating, and greatly improved battery life.

    Sometimes I can't type anything else than the first letter when writing a message..why?

    Re: Sometimes I can't type anything else than the first letter when writing a message... I just had this happen, and finally decided to do a factory reset, as I had updated to Lollipop. I had been avoiding it because of the annoyance of the whole thing. Well, even though I still lost some...

    Widget for an APP Without a Widget?

    I have been forced to use a secure messaging app. This app, Startel Secure Messaging, does not have a widget like GoSMS Pro and others provide. Is there any way to build a widget or make something that will provide similar functionality?

    How Do I Verify Photo's Are Saving to My SD Card?

    Maybe just pull the SD and open it with your computer. Then, you can verify that all of your pics are there, and at the same time copy them onto your hard drive for safety.

    Candice, have you tried pulling the battery for a minute or so? That often works in this type of situation.

    What is a better launcher for SG 4

    I like Nova. I have been using it since I was using a ReZound. I suggest using an app such as HomeSmack, which allows you to easily change to a different launcher. Download the free Nova launcher, which you can easily upgrade later. Try others as well. I have fun trying different launchers.

    Go SMS Notification Question

    I just changed to a Galaxy S4. I typically keep the phone on vibration only. As the vibration is weaker than on my Rezound, I am using a ringtone along with the vibration. I have noticed that Go SMS gives me a sound notification when I SEND a message. I can't seem to do anything to stop it, and...
