Anyone else getting a Galaxy 4?

Download Tapatalk, it's an app built for viewing message boards. We have the app installed on the forums so it makes browsing SOOO much easier.

Got the S4 Active last night. Hate the damn thing so far, but I'm sure that will change over time.

A few things that have me frustrated so far (and maybe you guys have a fix for these):

When I'm on a website like dfwmustangs, and it lists the threads, the text is fucking tiny, and I have to zoom in before I'm able to click on threads to open them. Every now and then it will register the click on the tiny text, but 90% of the time, I have to expand the screen first before it seems to understand that I'm touching the screen. I have already turned the touch screen sensitivity up, but it didn't help. I tried the text legibility thing, and didn't notice any visible difference at all. The guy next to me at work has the S4 as well, and he suggested turning on Air View, and showed me how on his phone, he can hover his finger over stuff and it makes it bigger, and then he can click on it. So I turned that feature on, but it's not working on dfwmustangs. Shouldn't it?

When you're scrolling down through a page, and you want to go instantly to the top again, is there not a way to do that without scrolling all the way back up? On the iPhone, you just tap the top of the screen. That doesn't work on the Samsung, so what's the secret to do this?

How do you view your browsing history?

I know I'll have more questions, but I'm just getting started. Like I said, so far, it's a pain in the ass. I feel like to navigate through basic shit, I have to know some secret combo of actions. It's almost like I have to turn around in circles, hop on one leg, blink 6 times and say my ABCs to do simple shit.

Feature packed? I'm sure. Simple and logical? Not at all.

What would be the difference that would make you want to use the cord instead of going through Bluetooth anyways?

If I plug it in seems redundant to have to go back to settings to re sync on blue tooth.

Sharing my input. Had an s3 for a week and hated it. Have the s4 and absolutely love it. Will not go back to iphone. That is all.

Bluetooth causes cancer!

I have a 2011 fusion, it would sync through usb to my iphone 4s but wouldnt sync with the s4 over usb. Not a big deal I just use blue tooth.

Another big plus to iPhone was all the accessories made to work with it. In our home, we have 5 devices that the iPhones (4 and under) dock into. Another three in our vehicles.

But Apple gave us the finger with the iPhone 5 and it's new slot on the bottom. The adapter they make is shit for using with a dock.

That's a big reason I'm willing to change it up.

The problem really isn't Android, per say. It's all of the UI shit that the makers slap on top of it.

Root it, flash it, customize it.

Well said; my biggest complaint with android is never about the hardware; the ecosystem always feels unfinished and rough around the edges. I am as technical, if not more than the next person - so that argument doesn't work for me either. It is true that I don't care as much about customization, as I just want it to work when I use it. For me, iOS always delivers. I also like the local apple store for replacements/service and the fact that I can use the phone for 2 years and still sell it for $300.

I've had my phone for a few weeks now. First 10 days were a struggle after having iOS ingrained in me for several years. Now I can safely say, I'd never switch back. Loving the S4 so far.

Ditto took me a few days to adjust to android but now I'm loving it. I also switch from having every iPhone to my new galaxsy s4

Android is a little clunky compared to ios, but after playing with it and getting a ton of Aps I like it a lot. I have a loud turbo motor rev for my text message alert, check out an ap called dredge

I downloaded an ap that makes your text message layout exactly like the iPhones even down to the smiley faces.

Pirate bay has an app, I can now boot leg directly to my phone without having to sync to the computer.

Main stream Aps I used for weather and sports and stuff are the same

The only thing I really hate is that AT&T bloated the phone with AT&T apps and crap. Of the 1.9ghz ram only 700 mb is un used out of the box.

Also the fact that there is no widget for the setting menu is annoying, you have to use the menu button at the bottom of the phone

The camera sucks in low light

The camera protrudes out of the back of the phone making it impossible to lay flat on a surface

I can't change the button layout. Double tap the home button bring up the Samsung voice, holding the home button brings up the memory menu. Opposite from iPhone

Volume buttons are on the opposite side from the iPhone, took a while for me to adjust.

iOS seemed to have a better call log and directory layout

Apps update themselves when connected to wifi, I wish the android options menu would allow restrictions for apps, instead the phone is so app happy it lets them run at free will

That's all I can think of. Nearly 90% of my problems are purely with android, if I could pay for Ios I would

Tbh, I'm not sure. I believe as its used, it populates the most used at the top.

Np, post back of it doesn't.

That's what it was. Text doesn't show as an option on her phone until you swipe upwards (not sideways). The messaging icon is towards the bottom. I assume those icons can be moved around so it would be on the first page.

Except the actual financial ramifications of the reported market share. Considering you can get android in a coffee machine, I would expect access/market share to be won by Android every time.

Except Samsung Galaxy's alone have been outselling Apple since Q1 2012.
