    Lollipop keyboard is terrible!

    I HATE the keyboard now after the update. I can't get the setting worked out so it actually works. It's corrects nearly everything I type to nonsense. I type "2nd" and it replaces it with "3rd". I type "it" and it replaces it with "ir". No clue why it is doing this. I'm turning the settings off...

    4G keeps dropping off

    For the past week or more, I notice my S4 is on 3G, even though I'm in an area with a strong 4G signal. I can restart the phone and it goes right back to a strong 4G signal. This has happened too often recently ,even though I've seen it do it since I first got the S4. And when the 4G signal...

    Large cap SD cards that work well with S4?

    Looking for your experiences with large capacity Micro SD cards that worked well with the S4. I saw some older threads where some people had problems getting certain brands to work. I'm looking for at least a 64gb card.

    Help How to search in browser?

    Might be a dumb question, but I can't figure out how to use a pull down search tab while on forum websites. Usually, a small popup type tab opens and you type in your search term for that form. Numerous forums use this, but I can't get it to work on my phone. When the keyboard opens, the search...

    Help How do you secure your S4?

    What security measures/aps do you use to keep your phone private? PIN screen lock, password, security aps, etc? I'm very curious about this subject, as even though I've never had a phone lost or stolen, I've been thinking about phone security a lot lately. Looking for ideas.

    Texts not sending

    My recently purchased S4 just started failing to send texts a few days ago. I read other comments and threads about this issue. I tried some of the things mentioned. Here's what I've found so far. Network mode, in the setting menu, seems to reset it self to "Global" mode. I keep having to set it...

    Anyone been able to stop the Visual Voicemail ad from Verizon?

    I'd love to get rid of the attempt to get me to sign up for the $2.99 subscription offer every time I use the VoiceMail button. I've seen a lot of requests for help with this, but have yet to see any solution to eliminate it, other than subscribing! Anyone?

    Any quick way to mute ENTIRE phone?

    I have yet to find a way to mute the phone, that mutes everything, including "notifications". For some reason, the ONLY way I can silence the "notifications" sound is to go into the settings, sound, volume and slide it to zero. Is there another option? Volume rocker on side of phone has no...

    Does the S3 have a sleep mode, or night setting?

    I've looked and can't find anything...but I really want to be able to set the S3 to shut down for a set time at night, so it goes quiet, etc. I could do this on my old LG phone. Surely the S3 has it, I just can't find it? I really hate waking up and seeing 20% of my freshly charged battery...

    Every day I shut off the email alerts, and every day I hear the alert when I receive emails. Why won't it stay off?

    Does the ICS Spectrum have sleep mode?

    I used to have it set to sleep mode at night, disabling the radios, etc during set hours, using Juice Defender Pro. But I have had issues with Juice Defender and prefer to not use it any longer. Is there a setting in ICS that will allow me to set the phone to go into night mode or sleep mode for...

    GPS accurracy?

    Is the GPS on the Spectrum accurate? Is it a typical smartphone GPS or do they vary from model to model? Just wondering, as I've tried using it for geocaching, and it's not working out for me at all. It locks up a lot, as does the compass, or it seems to not be able to get withing 30m or so of...

    Unable to connect to 3G or 4G

    I've seen this issue come up locally a lot. And I can't tell if it's a Verizon network issue, or a Spectrum issue. But my phone is practically useless unless I can find a wi-fi hotspot. I can't stay connected to the 3G nor 4G network for more than a second or two. Uploading pics, etc is 100%...

    Battery meter stuck on 100%

    For the last couple of days, my Spectrum is showing battery level at 100%...although that is impossible once the phone has been on for more than 5 minutes! :D I turned the phone off yesterday and it reset to the correct, or presumably correct level. I tried powering it down and back today but...

    Screen protectors?

    My Spectrum has the stock screen protector that came with it. It gunks up with finger prints way too easily. I end up cleaning it several times a day. Do ANY other brands actually prevent the smudge build ups? I know many claim this, but do they actually work?

    Turning on and off sounds?

    All of a sudden my keyboard now has loud indication sounds when I type. My phone has never done this until yesterday. I don't know what setting I changed, but I do not like it. Can someone point me towards the settings?
