Battery life is bad if you use a lot of internet on it.
I found that making my lock screen and home screen wallpapers all black has helped preserve battery life. I also turn off my 4g when I am not using it. Keep it on power saver mode and turn off all the unnecessary ? like air gesture and stuff. Auto screen brightness is effective too.
yeah I thought about that too the more you use it the battery wont last as long I dont use alot of apps like that anyway and I use the internet when I'm searching for something so I'll be straight
It's mainly the screen that eats up battery. I shut the internet off at work and just put my music library on shuffle and can listen to music for 9-10 hrs straight and only eat about 20% battery. -
i finally got around to getting the sg4 ... battery life for me is crazy good. sometimes im tempted to even leave my charger at home. still tramatized by the evo 4g tho (dont judge me lol im no cell phone king) so im still not ready to trust it LOL
im not gonna be online for long at this point, but i wanna write a small IC review on this phone. one thing i can say is this ? needs more WIDGETS!!! -

its cool i read they were going to allow the installation of apps to the SD card soon
so i wouldnt say its a big deal IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A NICE SIZED SD CARD FROM A PREVIOUS PHONE.
if you dont however, then yes get the bigger 32 or 64 .... dont find yourself at walmart or target trying to cop a 32 or 64gig SD .... unless you got that jay z money lol -
$30???? you mean $79??? or are you talkin about the wifi output ? ??Tried to get this phone Saturday but found out I would lose my $30 unlimited plan if i upgrade. ? !!

maybe it just pops up a certain amount of times but still when you update its gonna come back if there isnt a way to disable it -

Back in the day Verizon's unlimited data plan was $30, wen i got my galaxy nexus 2 years ago, Verizon let me keep that $30 charge because I was "grandfathered" in as they call it. Now I'm tryna get the S4 nd the unlimited plan is like $80 like u said.. I read on certain blogs that there's still a way for me to keep getting charged $30 instead of the $80 but I heard it's a long ass process

for ppl that use firefox on the s4 is it better to get the beta or the current release?
Im guessing the beta has newer features and stuff but isnt as stable, Im planning on using it over Chrome since it has flash -
so ive searched around and found that you cant just plug the phone up to your pc and access media files. unles im doing something wrong or there is something wrong with my PC .... THIS IS A HUGE STRIKE FOR SAMSUNG
yall ? is pausing and unpausing videos on youtube just by me looking at and away from the phone, you can take screen shots and perform certain tasks with out even touching the phone, but you cant simply take a pic/plug the phone up to your computer and save the pic to your computer???
? huhhh??? -

Is this just something for the S4 because I hook my wife's Note 2 up to the comp and transfer files all the time. -
