Here is a step by step on rooting your phone for the S4. I am a rookie at doing this and was able to get this done easily and quickly off this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=9c9fa1d43c8258f24531deefb8bc8d7b&t=2301720
The caveat to rooting is that it may break the warranty. I went almost 2 months stock with my S3, and decided to root it because I could not wait for Verizon to get off the toilet and push Jelly Bean.
It won't let me hold and drag icons. At first touch it opens the app. Is the screen locked or is the phone defective or something? This is driving me nuts.
Well sort of. Plus I go the home page of FBG's and it won't open anything? Anybody else having this issue?
As of August, the HTC One is still the best smartphone you can buy per Android Central.
I do tend to carry a spare battery but that's because I have a Thunderbolt and it has a horrible battery life. I like what I've read about the more barebones accessories of the HTC. I don't need a million gadgets. Definitely leaning HTC. Just have to look at them side by side.As of August, the HTC One is still the best smartphone you can buy per Android Central.
I tend to agree with them... but if you want to be able to change your battery (or have access to a ton of accessories) get the S4
You can't go wrong with either.
If I was offered both for free, I would chose the HTC One hands down... but if I were buying one I would spend a fair amount of time considering the S4 for the removable battery alone.I do tend to carry a spare battery but that's because I have a Thunderbolt and it has a horrible battery life.

And I have to think I would go with the Google Play Edition S4, as the Samsung skin (touchwiz?) is absurd to me, but I know that a lot of people love it. I think I would be ok with the Sense skin on the HTC One.
You could of done this by downloading the english language pack. This happened on my Note 2 a while back, and all of a sudden the autocorrect was gone.
Where are you getting an S4 from? My wife is in the market and I saw $50 w/ 2yr on Amazon. I would think they have to be giving S-3's away at this point.
That's an understatement. I want terrible things to happen to Samsung headquarters. I'll never own another Samsung product of any kind.
you mean by plugging in via usb?
weird...wife's connects automatically
yep I tried everything, nothing works. My old phone had no issues. Its a 2014 subaru forester
Is that hard to do?
Nope, but you need to be rooted first. After that, install TWRP from play store (which is a recovery/backup/installer), download the ROM file(s) to your pc and put on your SD card, boot into recovery mode (TWRP), click backup. when thats done click wipe, when thats done, click and install the ROM file(s). Reboot. Done. Took maybe 10 minutes.If you want to go back to stock, boot back into recovery, and click restore. Everything comes back exactly the way you had it - apps, settings, screen layouts, everything.
I would try un pairing it and repairing it and make sure the option to auto connect is selected
Yes. I can hear it make the connection sound when plugged in, but it does not show up in my computer when I look and I get no reaction by the phone that it is plugged in.I put kies on the computer to try and use that-nothing. I do not get the mode change in settings that people say you should see etc. Very frustrating.
Mine connects automatically as well.Did you delete the pairing for the old phone on the car's bluetooth? Just wondering if the car still thinks the old phone is the device that is supposed to auto-connect.
ooh this could be it also. I had to delete my wife's old phone out of our cars memory
