I believe that I've tried that, though most of the time I only have 3G at my college anyway.

Hey Shon, thanks so much for your reply. I found out that it may be that my college's dorms/classrooms have extremely bad reception, causing my phone to constantly search for the service. When I'm at one of my family friend's house with 4G/LTE, my battery lasted extremely longer! I'm assuming it...

Oh, no. I don't mean my forecast. I'm looking at the actual battery life I get. I really dislike how the battery dies so fast compared to all my friend's with iPhones who's phones literally last two days without a charge while I always have to recharge in the middle of the first day with barely...

All right, well, I put together some files. This is me BARELY using my phone, used as a ground level. Basically only used my phone as a watch. Near the end of my test, I forcefully used my screen so I would be able to see the data on it (prior to that, it used barely any power that I couldn't...

Hey guys, I've had my phone for over a month, and it is a beautiful phone, though I have run into a few problems. First, my phone usually runs pretty smoothly, but there will be times that my phone freezes up or just stutters. I've had a galaxy s4, and I've experienced basically the same...

So, I received my new S4 and it has developed a somewhat sticky key (you can notice it more by pressing the right side. It doesn't "stick" but you can notice it doesn't feel as solid). Pressing it will often make the phone think you held it down (although it doesnt feel/sound like it was stuck)...

Yeah, I have to ask my uncle about the specifics. Just wanted to let you guys know about it, so you could at least hear about it haha. But I mean, I did get a completely new S4. Weird.

Thanks man! But I've tried both going directly to "Firmware," and my "Update Samsung Software" is also saying I'm up to date, although I'm only on 4.2.2

How am I supposed to update to 4.3? I am on Sprint in the US. Not sure where to go to update...

Just a heads up guys. I received my S4 around early September and noticed bad problems associated with it (I posted a couple threads on it earlier). My Uncle who works for Sprint asked for my MEID, and apparently, my number was on Samsungs list of phones with "soldering problems," I believe...

Yeah, it's Apex I believe. The other launchers aren't laggy at the times apex is. Yep I have a bunch of different launchers. I really liked Nova, but the biggesttttttttt problem with it was that it "stutters" when I start to move through home screens. It's that quick jolt in the very beginning...

I've done a factory reset already for trying to fix the camera missing options. It didn't work for that... EDIT: Also, the apex launcher only gets laggy SOMETIMES. I'm not sure what makes it laggy, and it only seems to be the problem with Apex. The touchwiz, although laggy on its own, and nova...

So, my phone's home screen (Apex launcher) just gets really laggy. Sometimes my Apex Launcher stops being smooth when moving through pages (slow fps), and I have to restart my whole phone. I've tried using clean manager, manually deleting cache etc., but only a clean restart seems to fix that. I...

The bigger screen and great camera were the biggest pluses. The HTC UI, responsiveness and great look and feel were great... but I could make the S4 faster just by changing a couple options and downloading Apex Launcher to get rid of crappy Touch Wiz :D The front speakers are nice though. Wish...

Re: "Back" button randomly doesn't work Anybody have any other solutions to this? haha Thanks.
