Happy Birthday and welcome!! As a fellow Taurean, believe me when I say you will soon be obsessed with making your phone perfect. Unfortunately perfect has no definition when it comes to phones, so it's an endless pursuit.

Thanks...
Haha, yes I know what you mean, I already had that perfection-issue with my iPhone partly.
But I have to say I'm looking forward to this road to perfection.
* Only thing I'm NOT looking forward to, is getting used to the size difference (iPhone 4S/Samsung Galaxy S4 are quite different in size)

I was really concerned about the phone size - I have a Galaxy Nexus and had been using my iPod Touch for years. While it was smaller than my Palm TX that I had prior, the GNex still seemed huge. Now when I see Iphones, I can't believe how tiny they are.

Welcome! The S4 is an impressive device. What are you thoughts on it?

 

[Dx3me]

Thanks guys...
Currently I don't have an S4 anymore, since I swapped it for a Nexus 4,which I can't say I regret for a single second.

Yes, the S4 might be a bit higher ranked (hardware wise), I just couldn't get used to the TouchWiz interface.
Also, I might had a buggy S4 from the start but mine was freezing quite occasionally.
So all in all, whatever the cause was, my first - and probably only - experience with Samsung has been a very bad one.

- Right now I'm preparing to get my hands on the new Nexus 5 next month.

Welcome to Android Central. I realize your initial introduction was back in May but what can I say I'm a bit slow now a days. 25 years old and I feel like I've lost a step already.

Sorry to hear about that buggy S4! :banghead:

I also had a first S4 that I had to exchange for another Galaxy S4. But in my case I stuck to my guns and really love my GS4! :thumbup:

This is my first Samsung phone and didn't have any problems getting use to TouchWhiz.

Good luck with the Nexus 4, still a good device.
