[dopestar]

Damn this phone seems to be buggy with everyone reporting on stuff... Does Samsung put any effort on fixing them?

There is already a update for the international version of the S4 so the US should see it within the next month or so.

Go to settings in the Google Now app and make sure your notifications are on.

I find a bug on the air view feature. It happened today as I back and forth on some apps including the camera, and when I got to my home screen and I'm hovering my finger above the folder apps when I'm trying to open my line chat, the folder is spreading just like I'm using an spen on the gnote 2, weird huh

The watchon app on my S4 automatically upgraded after i connected to the internet. After the upgrade, im now just getting a blank screen when i open the app. Even the options like settings, help, about, etc are no longer working when i click on them..

did you encounter the same issue? How do i fix this?

Anyone notice a weird "thump" sound when you are calling someone? The weird sound comes after each ring.

That sound means the person you are calling is on another call. Only certain carriers have it.

If I have Smart Stay on the screen will NOT turn off. I tested it this morning by leaving the phone on the dinner table and thirty minutes later without me walking within ten feet of the phone it was still on. I disabled Smart Stay and it shut it off after 60 seconds.

Was your phone laying on a table with a light above it? My s3 does this as it appears someone is looking at the screen - it's actually the light above it. Try turning the light off or moving the phone to a different location and test it.

so on two separate occasions now, my phone has shut off and an image of a gray battery with a white loading circle shows up. Both times, this is happened when my phone is plugged into a car charger. The car charger is a generic plug with a USB port and I am using the charging cable that came included with the Galaxy S4. In both situations my battery charge we well above 50%. Both times I had push the button to turn off my phone screen and about five minutes later when I go to look at my phone again I click the Start button and my screen doesn't go on. Then after a few seconds that gray battery shows up and I have to do a long press to turn on my phone. I'm not sure if it is related to it being plugged into the car but I thought I'd include that because it's the common denominator.

My s3 does this. Often. No idea why, only on the car charger....

Using the auto backup feature in my gs4... If I go into the gallery, the auto backup folder isn't automatically updated in its own. You have to clear data and cache for the gallery application. Weird and a bit annoying but manageable. One thing that certainly isn't however is this: when viewing a photo in the auto backup album, it loads as landscape view (even though picture was taken in portrait) and vice versa. Has anyone had this problem? I can't be the only one.

I have a problem with changing the font. Every time I go into settings/my device/display/font/font style, it says "loading fonts" and then the screen goes black and I get "unfortunately, settings has stopped". This happens every single time I try it. Has anyone else run into this? I'd love to know if anyone has been able to change their system font. I also downloaded ifont, but it still happens. Thanks for your help!

Ive had mine for about a month now and the only bug I've found so far is the homescreen wallpaper changing by itself every few days.

Do you have a wallpaper app installed? If so look at the settings to see if you have that feature checked because you are the only person I've heard with this issue.

Are you connected to internet when you try the change? I use that function with no problems

not sure if it's just my phone but when I am on certain sites, I am unable to see the text box, the predictive text box/keyboard is blocking it. I have tried multiple keyboard from the google store...same thing



JUst got off the phone with Samsung.. I use dolphin browser, seems to be a compatibility issue with the browser.. not the phone

 

[PhiPsi32]

I use Dolphin and have not had any problems.

 

[whodunit]

Yes, I'm on Wi-Fi when I try to change the fonts.

In the data usage section I get a glitch with the app differentiating between play music and youtube. All youtube data usage is shown as Google Play Music in the data usage section.
