you need to go to your iPhone settings and turn off Imessage or else the phone will continue to receive them.

Just updated and notice some speed improvements

Prior to the update my phone memory would be running around 900 megs @ it's lowest, but averaging closer to 1100 megs.

With the update it's averaging around 750 megs!

Updated my phone yesterday... Definitely some performance improvement.

Anyways, ran into some minor issue! Noticed that I'm blasting text messages 'STATUS' to 9216 after the update.

Anyone experience this issue before? I'm with Fido

Fixed: I think I fixed it by removing Fido Visual Voice App

i used this.

[SGH-I337M] CF-Auto-Root [CANADIAN MODELS ONLY] - xda-developers

dropped my S4 into the soap bucket at work while washing a car the other day.. got it out of there right away and it was still on and working fine, I put it in rice for a while when I put the battery back in it sounded like it was going to explode and the screen was flickering but the next day it works like new :lawl:

Ironically I was joking with someone a few days before this happened about how many times I've dropped it without a case and it being fine after I said the only way you could kill it was water but not even that could do it :badpokerface:

If you get an S5 after this, you can drop it in the soap bucket as many times as you like cuz its waterproof.

Mr.HappySilp 04-03-2014 09:44 AM

sigh S4 have such shitty battery life when compare to the Z1 and the note2 ><

BaoTurbo 04-03-2014 03:19 PM

Im still running on 4.2 since it won't let me update after I rooted lol

Nismo200SX 04-04-2014 01:15 PM

Anyone figure out how to change the lock screen wallpaper. after the update to 4.3 and now 4.4.2 kit kat it''s still broken or i'm just n00b

Zheff 04-05-2014 02:36 PM

After 3 weeks of using the phone on Kit Kat update, I noticed the battery life drains like crazy. Anyone else's battery life gotten worse after the update?

Also, notice a bug on the stock weather gadget too, always shows 40+ Celsius for Burnaby/New West. Gotta refresh it every time for it to go back to reality temp.

GPS signal icon always popping up too.

press the bottom left button, click on set wallpaper and select lock screen

i always like the travel wallpaper, looks so cool around the world even though you aren't there :alone:

Alby 04-23-2014 11:03 AM

anyone having troubles with the lockscreen clock? mine recently started to act up by not updating its time. today the clock read 6:02am when its really 11:30am. usually a reboot or changing the security to none and back to pattern will fix it, but its just temp and will happen again.

2 n r 04-25-2014 01:19 AM

im on rogers and i dont get the update for kitkat when i check for it. anyone know why?

Mr.HappySilp 06-25-2014 09:51 PM

My screen keeps flicking...... I don't think is auto brightness because the brightness doesn't change. Is like those old fluorescent light where when you first turn on it flickers like crazy for a few seconds.... happening to my S4 now constantly.

Mike Oxbig 06-27-2014 06:54 PM

Is there anyway to add the weather and quick camera on screen for the S4? Like the S5

geeknerd 06-28-2014 12:21 AM

my friends phone won't charge, probably a cut connection with the charge port, where can it be fixed? he went to one shop and they declined. probably because it is not an replacement fix and requires soldering.

Updating to android 4.4 kitkat will give you that option.

Mr.HappySilp 07-22-2014 07:47 AM

Google play service is draining the battery like crazy lol. Went to bed 12 set phone to airplane mode. Woke up only to found that I only have 85% battery left. Now at work I have 78?%......

Lowered_Klass 07-22-2014 01:13 PM

Wish my phone wasn't so laggy. Never have that many open apps, no games, I just want everything to be faster, more crisp. :(

If only I wasn't such a bitch, I would root my phone, since that sounds like it fixes a lot of the common issues...
