Hi folks. I'm looking for a recommendation for an android app that is particularly good at navigating my Samsung smart tv's built-in browser. The problem: Using the tv remote to navigate the built-in browser is slightly more pleasant than getting a root canal. Using the 4 arrow buttons to...

Thanks for the reply. Even a couple hours doesn't matter. It charges over night and the S4 has a much, much better day life than my old G Nex. So, that's not the issue.

I recently got a new S4. My previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus. The clerk at the Verizon store told me I shouldn't use my old Galaxy Nexus chargers, for 2 reasons. 1 seems like BS, the other probably legit. The clerk said I should buy new chargers (usb, car) because: 1. My old chargers are...

I like Google+ quite a bit. I'm not very social with these things I just like multimedia sharing on it if I'd like some entertainment, so you don't need to maintain it like certain other social networks.

yes, it's CDMA, so I think I couldn't get gouged with huge data and voice rates even if I wanted. I think the best plan is to put it in airplane mode and turn wifi on, from what I've read. As I understand it, airplane mode turns off both voice and data and it's basically a palm pilot with wifi.

I'm definitely appealling to the techies who know their stuff, which I certainly don't. Basic stuff, I'll number my questions. 1. Will it dial and get on the voice networks in Europe? I'll be all over but probably mainly in Slovenia and Croatia. 2. Will data/web work, and if so, should I...

I got mine 3 or 4 months ago. I did all my homework before going in, knew exactly what I wanted. It didn't matter at all what the sales reps said, for them it was easy, I walked in that door with a specific purchase in mind. They were a little busy and put me in a queue (tracked on mounted...

I had a D Link router, and the phone would bounce between 1 bar and no wifi connection, despite being mere feet apart. It couldn't find an antenna, I thought years ago I had an antenna screwed into the back of my network card to get my ex-gf's tablet to connect, but I couldn't find the antenna...

ok thanks I've never seen anything from Verizon making a billing distinction between 3g and 4g, was surprised to see it made in this app

awesome thanks for the heads up, I've been checking on this now and then. I notice in the preferences, there's a 3G checkbox that says there are potential charges for using 3G for data. So.......I'm not aware of there being charges for using 3G on Verizon, anyone else know what this is about?

just checked, no update, running 4.02 Verizon

I've seen a few people on this forum say that the battery gets better after a little use, and I have to say this is true in my case. I'm not into the rooting and kernels and all that, I just throw down apps and games, so I haven't done anything that really alters power usage other than go...

I can confirm HBO Go doesn't work on GNex. I even got an email reply back from HBO support. It'll happen we'll just have to be patient. Which I'm not particularly.

ok, this is very interesting, thanks all curious if anyone has done this?

I have an account but that's just to subscribe to certain interest channels, mainly gaming
