That is all they send! My wife's phone got replaced under warranty by Verizon. I knew they wouldn't send everything, particularly a simm card. I thought they'd might possibly send a battery and I'd have to return one, but no battery. No big deal--I was planning on keeping the one I had...

My wife's S4 suddenly started giving a message that it wouldn't charge without the original charger, even when using the original charger (I've tried two original and several others that work with my S4, and connecting it to a PC). I switch batteries with my phone, and it still won't work...

I'm having a problem with my phone where the battery is drained and it even runs warm. I tried rebooting already. The culprit is again Google Services. I did recently update Google Maps. Anyone else having this issue recently?

I upgraded my Verizon S4 from the MJ7 update to the MK2 update about a week ago. Prior to that I was able to get my vehicle charging issues resolved by buying a better cable. Now, with this update the charging issues are back. Before with the smaller gauge cables it wouldn't charge at all...

Can anyone answer the question in this thread about whether the Samsung S4 actually moves apps to the microSD card? http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/803093-question-regarding-storage.html#post6308591

This is intended to be a thread where people can note changes in 4.3 (for Verizon) that might be of interest. Previous threads have pointed out that folders now stay open after you select the program you want to run, and that you need to initialize your camera app after the upgrade. I will add...

I have no plans on installing the Verizon update until either Google fixes Maps/Navigation or I buy a third party product. Is there a way to get rid of the reminder that there is an update available?

I've been having intermittent issues where my home button doesn't work. It doesn't seem to be a physical problem because it's pretty much not working at all until I reboot. I think it may be related to a new update of Delayed Lock, because it started right after I updated and bringing that...

I asked this question in the applications area over a week ago and got no response. So mods, please don't move. I'm looking for a response from S4 owners. I'm looking for a real GPS program for if and when I get stuck with the new version of Google Maps/Navigation. The three requirements...

I don't remember for sure how it was done (holding the symbol key????), but on my old Moto phone I could have the keyboard display a 10 key type layout for numbers. Is there a way to do that with the standard Verizon S4 keyboard (or an optional keyboard)?

My old D2G had pocket protection, so that it would recognize when the phone was in your pocket. Seemingly the S4 with its physical home button needs that more than the D2G ever did, but it doesn't seem to have that function. Am I missing something Samsung is offering? Is there an app?

I'm not the only one here who has complained of threads where the title doesn't give you a clue about the question being asked. The person asking the question apparently expects people to open every thread. Anyway, I have noticed a solution, so I thought I would pass it along. If you over...

I have a minor issue connecting BT to my 2013 Subaru. Originally I had an intermittent connect issue, but either a Verizon update or installing the Bluetooth Auto Connect app fixed that (they both occurred at about the same time, and I haven't uninstalled the app). The problem now is it...

Galaxy S 4 Spare Battery Charging System This seems pretty nice, having a separate place to charge your backup back battery, and that charger might even be a good carrying case for the backup battery.

I own a Nexus 7, and just today it is finally getting the 4.3 update pushed to it, so that took about a week. I know Samsung/Verizon are not going to be anywhere near that fast, but based on prior Samsung/Verizon history, how long is it likely to take?

Is there an app that would allow recording say 10 minute loops of video, saving only the latest 10 minutes of video (and also doing so without having screen focus at the time so it can act in the background)? The asteroid event in Russia shows those types of devices are popular in Russia, so...

I installed an SD card, but cannot seem to get either Amazon's Cloud Player or Google's Play Music to download music to the card. I have gone to My Files and changed the directory to the SD card (media/music). What am I missing? I did not have this issue with my old D2G.

I'm almost regretting not buying a Google Edition S4, because I don't use hardly any of the Samsung features. The only ones I am aware I use are Smart Stay and Smart Rotation. I have all the Air View features turned off. If it wasn't for the fact that I use a WMC HTPC as a DVR I might use...

I can't find an open thread dealing with the new Google Maps, so . . . Is there a way to toggle the map to a zoomed out view that will show your entire route and the traffic on the entire route, as existed with the prior version? Is the a forum that deals with these types of non-hardware...

How to check if your Android phone uses CarrierIQ — Mobile Technology News http://gigaom.com/mobile/how-to-check-if-your-android-phone-uses-carrieriq/ Has anyone used one of the tools to check if Moto's D2G with GB has this software installed? I've not seen reports of either Moto or...

It's always bothered me that the recent places weren't the most recent places you've visited. I'm not sure what order they are put in, but often the last two places you've been don't even show up at all! The solution is to periodically go into Settings/Applications and clear the data for Maps...

Yesterday my Google Navigation started working poorly, and then it wouldn't even load. The day before I had updated with Maps 5.8, but it did work find that day, and my first two destinations yesterday. I ended up having to uninstall and go back to the original factory version. Has anyone...

In this Techweb article, Motorola blames bad apps for many phone problems. I would certainly agree bad apps can be a problem, which is why I limit how many apps I have installed and try not to install more than one at one time. Still, I don't understand the battery issue. Don't we already...

What do people think of the apps that make the camera flash LEDs light up for use as a flashlight? They seem to work pretty well as a light, but if it were okay for the phone you would think that the function would be built in. If all it's likely to ruin is the flash, I probably don't care...

What is Alt-Shift-Del? (Hard keyboard only as far as I know.) Someone in another thread found this by accident. It's a great way to reboot a D2G phone without going through the power off or removing the battery. What I don't know, and I hope someone will post here, is does it work if you...
