I am thinking to upgrade to S5 from S4. My issues with S4 are: 1. Voice quality sometimes is not good. 2. The phone is slow at times. 3. Cellular reception is not good. In fact, it is worse than my wife'sS3. Will I see improvements in the above 3 areas if I switch to S5? If voice...

I want to switch to the stock email app to read/send gmail. I followed the IMAP account setup steps from Google's website. However, I cannot send email out. I can read email though. When I tried to set up the gmail account on Android's stock email app, I got an alert stating "Unbable to...

My S4 on Verizon runs KitKat and has about 40 downloaded apps, including Advanced Mobile Care. Recently, I get warning messages from AMC that my S4's available memory is low. Should I use an auto-kill app to get rid of apps that are taking up memory space? I tried an app called Memory Booster...

I have been using the stock email app for reading Yahoo mail. After the KitKat upgrade, there seems to be a sync issue. Before the upgrade, if I read the Yahoo mail on my desktop PC, the mail would show up as read on Samsung S4 stock email app. After the upgrade, these read emails still show as...

I want to change the codec from EVRC to EVRC-B on Verizon. Recently, I switched to Samsung S4 from HTC One. Before that, I had a HTC DNA. On these HTC phones, I can dial "##PROGRAM" to enter the edit mode. However, it does not seem to work on Samsung S4. Does it have a special sequence to...

I have been testing the voice quality of my new Galaxy S4 with my brother. He states that he hears a higher sound level when I use it in speaker phone mode. When I use it in the non speaker mode, the sound volume is lower. So I want to know if there are ways to increase the microphone sound...

Under "Accounts & Sync" and then "Google", one can select various sync options for the Google accounts. But what does the "App Data" sync do? Do I need to check "App Data" sync if I just want to sync the calendar? Thanks.

I just started a new job and they use Google calendar. I want to add this Google calendar to my DNA's calendar client as well. However, I am having sync problems. The original personal Google calendar still syncs well though. I have tried to empty the calendar data, as well as removing and...

Is there a way to increase the vibration strength on this phone? I put a case on this phone and find it harder to feel the vibration. I would like to have a stronger vibration if possible. Thanks.

I just checked battery usage and found camera used 42% of the battery. However, I have not used the camera at all. Why did it show 42%? While I am asking battery usage questions, there are "X" marks on the right of some applications. What are they used for? Thanks!

Is there a way to display caller name in addition to the caller phone number when the caller is not on my address book? On my Droid DNA, it would just display the caller's phone number. But on my wife's Samsung S3, it would display the caller name as well. A store tried to reach me and my...

My old phone is a HTC Evo 4G and it has a stock "call history" app. This stock app is nice because I can put it on phone's home page. Then just one click can show me the call history and the names associated with the phone numbers. I cannot seem to find this stock "call history" app on my new...
