Didn't see this posted elsewhere so I'd like to ask: The OTA Lollipop update was ready to go on my Sprint S4, so I went forward. However, the process failed with a warning message about insufficient storage. So I figured I should just clean out the storage as much as possible, then try to...- bls

Help Facebook login via Samsung, distinct from Facebook app login
Maybe someone can explain to me the distinction between the Samsung-generated notification to login to Facebook, vs the usual Facebook app login? I assume what's happening is that the S4 has some native/embedded facebook functionality distinct from the official standalone Facebook app. I...- bls

Help Larger homescreen icons?
Has anyone tried the Easy Home Screen Mode? (Settings / My Device / Home Screen Mode) I flipped it on - it will not erase your Standard-mode customizations when you switch back to Standard - and disliked it except for the larger icons. I found I really liked the big, 3x3 grid on the home...- bls

This S4 is a bit of an upgrade over my Samsung Galaxy Epic
Yes, I waited a long time to upgrade my phone, mainly because I was able to squeeze such a long productive life out of the Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G I got back in Oct 2010. So when the new S4 arrived, I thought it might be useful to run some benchmarks and speed tests on both phones. Results...- bls

Sprint preinstalled apps
In case anyone was wondering, these were the apps preinstalled** when I activated my Samsung Galaxy S4 on 4/28/13 with Sprint. I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm a little exhausted just looking at all the bloatware on there that I don't want (CBS Sports? Really?). ** Actually some of these are...- bls

How essential is the S-Pen?
Hey guys, I'd be interested to get the opinions of Note 2 users: how essential are you finding the S-Pen to be? I'm ready to switch up phones, and it's either going to be the S3 (which my wife recently picked up), the Note 2, or wait for the S4. I really enjoyed using the S-Pen in the store...- bls

Root Is there a ROM which really improves the camera?
I'm seriously thinking about getting a Galaxy S III. Mostly its to get a new phone that runs smoothly, rather than tinkering with the Epic to try to get it to run faster and more reliably. But a big added reason is that the camera on the III is so fast to respond. And that got me to thinking...- bls

a tale of two Epic cameras
So my wife and I both have Epics, both updated recently via OTA to 2.2. But for some reason my camera is incredibly laggy: you snap a photo, the screen goes black for a second and half at least, then the photo pops up. And my wife's is much much faster. We're both using the stock camera, and...- bls
