My S4 Mini (on Verizon) is pestering me to do the Kit Kat update. I'm putting it off at the moment, wanting to hear some feedback. Comments, anyone?

Earlier today, I had an app auto-update successfully. Now, I have one that has been showing 0% progress in the download for over 30 minutes. Ideas? It's a one week old Galaxy S4 mini on Android 4.2.2. Verizon.

My cell carrier must have either failed or shut down my local tower. Yesterday AM I had a call drop. Since then, I can't make or receive calls. Once in a while my phone will roam, but then it quickly slips back into trying to use the network. I haven't been able to find a setting to force...

Most days, sometime between noon and 3 PM, my phone rebbots itself. I'm certainly not powering it down or taking any other actions - it's doing it all by itself. Anyone have an idea what's up?

Has anyone successfully polished out scratches on the screen? I'm assuming that a typical generic polishing compound will be OK, but hoping to hear if anyone has experience.

So, a little while ago, I downloaded Stock Quotes from the Android Market. No sooner had it finished downloading and installing, than I get a notice about a system update from Sprint, and updates for quite a few of my apps. This, after not getting any update notices for two or three weeks...

Last night about 9PM, I was working on my computer, phone on the desk beside me, display dark. I had last taken the phone off the charger about 7AM. My use for the day had been fairly light, and the stock battery meter on the phone had showed about half-discharged the last time I looked. Some...

If I compose a new text message to someone that I have previously texted, it goes into the previous thread. Sometimes that's OK, but sometimes I'd like to start a new thread. OK, what am I missing?

After a lot of work, I've got my contacts pretty much fixed up on my new LG Optimus S - synched with Yahoo, GMail, Twitter, etc. and all edited, joined duplicates, and so on. I know that everything other than the Yahoo-only contacts will show up in my GMail account, but that's not good enough...

Still a noob, only 2 days with my LG Optimus S So, my phone is on the desk, screen dark, and it has automatically locked the touchpad, which is fine by me - no pocket dialing. Here's what I am doing to make a call: 1-Hit the home key to light it up 2-Slide the lock to the right to unlock it...
