My stock i337 with KK4.4.4 recently started having battery issues. Email shows to be the main culprit draining the battery (using GSAM). I've cleared the cache partition, and still see the same issue. Historically, I've never seen email be at the top of the battery consumption list. So something...

Yesterday my i337 running 4.4.2/NC1 alerted me that it had d/l an update which I postponed. So last night I prepped to do a FDR before I did the update and then, after doing the FDR, when I go to d/l the update, my phone says it's up to date and I can't check again for 24 hours. The whole...

This was actually a good idea Xyro. I hadn't thought of the subtitles and turned them on today and rewatched the "Kill the Moon" episode. It was a bit cumbersome, but helpful to follow the dialogue. I like Clara, but oftentimes the speed of the conversation between her and the doctor has made...

I confess that I'm really struggling with the new doctor... and Clara. I miss much of the dialogue, perhaps as a by-product of the accent plus the speed of the dialogue. They seem to be speaking very quickly. Or maybe my hearing is on the decline (which I'm sure my wife will attest to). In...

Does the stock browser still block apk downloads? I tried to get the new Google Play version today and regardless which mirror I choose, I never see any indication of the file being downloaded. My workaround is to hop on my PC and download the file. Then I open up ES File Explorer on my GS4...

Lately, I've been getting pretty large battery hits from something called Security Policy Updates. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm considering either of the mounts below. Does anyone have experience with either? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Amazon.com: InfiniApps Slyde CD Slot Mount for Smartphones, Cradle-less Universal cell phone holder with Quick-snap technology, magnetic cell phone mount: Cell Phones & Accessories...

I have a video I took on my GS4 that I would like to copy to my wife's iP5. It's about 20 minutes long so I don't think I can move it via email as the file is just under 3 GB. Is there a simple and easy way to do this?

Stay in control with DROID Command Center widget If so, what is the process for an unrooted GS4 running Nova Prime?

There are times when it would be nice to have something to work the touchscreen other than my finger... such as in this pic. What is this? A generic capacitive stylus that will work with the GS4?

I am not having any battery issues on my GS4. However, I've noticed that when in airplane mode (at night), I have a regular battery hit that I have been unable to pin to a particular app. I have Battery Mix, GSAM battery monitor, WakeLock Detector, etc. but none of them are able to tell me what...

I went from a 3.5 inch Android screen (S720C) to the Galaxy Note 2 earlier this year. Loved the huge screen... and yet hated it too... for the size. So I swapped out the GN2 for the GS4 and have been loving the GS4 ever since. No regrets, at all. Fast forward to last night when I popped in to...

My GS4 (i337) is stock except for running Nova Prime. Of course my apps (and there are many) all have individual tweaks, etc. that will be tough to duplicate after a FDR. It's taken months to get where I am now with layouts and settings, etc... picking up on tidbits of knowledge (and forgetting...

A recent thread here piqued my curiosity. I have my stock Samsung calendar on my GS4 synced with my Google calendar on my PC. What pros and cons are there running the Google calendar vs the Sammy calendar on the GS4?
