I've noticed more drain than I'd like overnight and I'm sure it's more than it was when I first got the phone just a few weeks ago (picked one up on a very good discount when I switched from Apple and got tired of paying newest flagship prices). Seems to be a common problem with Android. I've...

I thought Nova only supported badges if you install Telsa to get them? Or is it Native support now? Haven't looked at Nova for a while. For all the problems with Touchwiz, Nova feels kinda basic for me these days.

I find this 'update' a pain. All I need when I get a message is a tone, a flashing LED and a notification in the drop down list. I DON'T need the phone to add another Home Screen to my device with a box saying 'MESSAGE' at the top that when I touch the 'Message' notification I get the 'Swipe...

Thanks folks. I'll try a couple of restarts and see how it goes. Will post back once it's been a few days. Not sure what to make of Battery Guru. It just seems to control most things I have disabled anyway. The downside was that it created more work for me. It never seemed to remember my wifi...

See what you mean about the wifi on the graph. I'm still getting my head around these stats and the graph to be honest LOL. I've had SBG installed just a few days now and it seems to be learning still. Will see how it affects things.

Hi. Ah. Thanks for that. Will give it ac try. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher! The fix of disabling the update to Google Search sure works, except of course that you will have an out of date Google Search app that will function for how long? Hopefully they will fix it and release another update. Bit of a pain to have to...

Hi. Thought I'd post on this thread instead of starting another. Overall I'm most impressed with my newly acquired S4 that has now pushed the iPhone 4S I have into use as a secondary phone for when I travel. Just lately though I see to be getting terrible battery life overnight on idle. As...

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher! Same problem here. PITA. I do sometimes use Google now and its a nuisance having the update constantly sitting there waiting to be applied, only to have this problem return when you do. Had a quick look but found nowhere yet to give feedback either...

I'd say Light Manager too, great app, very easy to set up. I use it in conjunction with the Do Not Disturb Mode App.

I'd prefer it if they had SDs. It wouldn't be such an issue if 16GB WAS 16GB but it's not. In these parts the N5 is not available at Google Play prices and given that you can get a 32 GB LTE S4 for the same price as a 16GB Nexus 5, one of the big reasons to choose the N5 for many people...

Much the same for me. Shown me the weather (much less accurately than one weather) and tells me how far to drive to somewhere I've already been and come back from. Outside of that, squat. The sports are very limited too. Disable for me.

Previously I had Lightflow installed but in all honesty I found it offered much more than I needed and in some respects a little too complex to use. For some reason some gestures with Touchwiz didn't seem to work after I installed LF but now work OK. The only things I want to change for the...

Must admit I'm not keen on installing apps that require other features to be disabled in order to use them, or use them in ways that interferes with other functionality.

Disappointingly, Blocking Mode seems to be only partially effective. For me, Mute is not an option as I need some VIP calls to get through at night. So the fact that the S4 has Blocking Mode was an attractive feature, BUT it doesn't work with: 1) What's App. This seems top be a WA design...
