Reboot your phone. Worked for me today. :mad:

I'm just hoping there's a fix in the works coming out real soon....
 
This is all new to me (I've been using an iPhone on TMobile for a few years) and isn't intuitive for me. Knowing how to download apps was really, really helpful. THANKS<
 
I used Samsung s4 LTE 4g bought from Singapore to be used in Sri Lanka network 1800MHz band 3 how could I activate to band 3 from band 5 ( Means activate the phone to work on 1800Mhz band 3)
 
When typing in my S2 or Nexus tablet, the autocorrect feature automatically enters the correct spelling when I touch the the space bar or enter a period. My S4 won't correct misspellings unless I choose one of the corrected options. Anyone know how to get the S4 to correct like earlier modrks.?
