First I thought it was water proof with-in reason. I was informed by AT&T that they will not cover any water related issues with the phone. I have had the phone for close to a year. I'm sorry I got it, at first it was OK but as updates have progressed it is getting worse. Wifi problems, connecting issues, the flash for the camera is very annoying. It is linked with all your apps and flashes for every notice. I have turned off most but not all. Personally I am thinking of getting the new S5, these are niche (S4A) phones and might keep it if I can root it successfully.
