[QUOTE=BlueFlash;41781800]I just bought a Galaxy S4, which should arrive on Monday. Anyone else have one and have some advice on what to do first with it? I know a lot of people hate Touchwiz but I want to at least give it a chance for a few days before replacing it.[/QUOTE]
Get a Zerolemon, never charge your phone again. :v: It also takes 8 hours to charge from 0% though.
[QUOTE=BlueFlash;41781800]Saying that's basically saying "Google Glass will cost something". "Up to" means anything equal to or less than, and "more than" is greater than, translating to "less than, equal to, or greater than 300 dollars".[/QUOTE]
That's the joke.
[QUOTE=djshox;41775642]ended up buying the cheapest android t-mobile offers, the prism 2 for $120. [/QUOTE]
A digital communications device called "prism". Your phone calls are safe.
So like, I bought a chromecast, but it turns out my tv has no audio output, and my av receiver is so old that it has no optical/hdmi. I have no clue wtf to do.

We know, hunter was just parodying my title, except there are real reasons to believe glass should be in the 300 range, mostly because the most expensive part should be ~1/10th of that.
I can't wait for /r/Android to make up a fictional price of Google Glass and then be disappointed again.
-wait snip i found a solution-

Just designed some #HOLO #YOLO cover photos and icons for my mom's ACT prep course.
I just want a phone made of wood.

I finally decided on getting a data plan for my phone. Nothing big, just 5GB and 2mbit/s. But the damn thing just doesn't want to work no matter what I do (restart, SIM out, tried all the network types LTE/WCDMA/GSM, checked everything online that everything was on, checked every APN multiple times, etc).
What's also odd is that on my Desire Z I could usually see my phone number and network type in the status menu, but on the S4 it's just "unknown". Time to contact customer service, I guess.

You probably have to check the service menu for proper band selection.

I got into service menu, but it won't let me get further into the menus. the software "back" button won't work, like it should.

You might have to do something with your provider like dialing a number to activate the SIM card... check the contract/letter stuff
Been working at Best Buy and spending a lot of time around phones. The war between iOS and Android is hilarious to watch. At least Android is winning. I threw my S4 at someone yesterday. My case is a beast!
Hey I'm on vacation in London so have been taking a lot of pictures. I noticed something really weird happening. Occasionally when I'm in the camera from the lock screen, when I scroll over and try to delete a picture, the phone just shuts down with no explanation whatsoever. This happened to me twice today.
Also, I've got an unlocked phone (Nexus 4), is it even worthwhile getting a SIM I'd I'll just be here for a week? Free WiFi here is kind of hard to find as most networks require you to pay or have some kind of subscription.
regarding that shutdown: are you on Android 4.3? IIRC it fixed most, if not all random shutdowns on the Nexus 4 and 10.

You have to press menu, and select the back button from there. Back button will just kick you out.
Got a Galaxy s4. Anything b special I should do with it? It's my first smart phone. Second cell phone ever (had the old one for 6 years or some shit.)
I cancelled a google play magazine subscription before the trial ended but now I changed my mind, is there any way to undo a cancellation or will I just need to wait until the trial ends and start a new subscription?

A launcher. Get a launcher. Or well yknow, root.
Anyone else getting "Invalid Package File" or "Error 497" when they try to download or update an app in the Play Store? Getting pretty annoying and I've seen some tips on how to fix it but none of them have worked besides using a VPN or connecting to my Mobile network. Seems to be a wifi only problem for me.
This is the only real acknowledgement from google I could find.

It's a recent issue that's popped up with one of the latest Play Store updates. People are suggesting a multitude of fixes ranging from clearing cache in recovery to clearing Google framework cache (and if you do that, there's a chance to cause worse Play Store problems that require removing and readding your Google account.)
If it's not a huge deal, I'd just wait it out. I'm still able to update my apps every once in a while.
So I updated maps and it looks nice and all but the gps compass is broken. It usually only points north.
No problem in maps with me offline pro.

What's a great flip case for the HTC One that can turn into a stand and includes a cardholder? The cheap one I used is falling apart cause I dropped it a couple of times and the case that holds the phone is breaking.
