I say this because that is exactly the setting the rep took me to when I asked about simultaneous voice and data on LTE. Most in-store reps simply aren't well informed and don't always have a good understanding of what is what. But I digress, doesn't really matter, just sad that we don't get the option.

It's a U.S. vs. International variants thing. As far as I can tell, everyone I know with an unlocked or International S4 has the dark background and I have yet to come across anyone with any U.S. model that doesn't have the white background. I am going to try and find someone with a rooted International version to provide their phone and contact files and see if it works to push them to the system/apps folder.

One of my only complaints (besides the super slick battery cover) is the safe volume reminder. I use my phone to play music through an external speaker at work. When the screen on off and I turn the volume up. The phone would vibrate amd make me confirm the volume increase. Very annoying

I haven't rooted my phone and don't really plan to for a while, this feature may be available as a mod in a custom rom.

Basically what I'd like is a minimum dimness setting. I like my phone a little brighter than the current minimum setting. I do think the auto brightness works well when walking out from the shade into the sunlight just when I'm indoors its more dim than I'd like.

Mostly I love the phone, one other thing I don't like is with my Evo shift I could double click to zoom in the Web browser and the text would auto fit and be easier to read . the screen is large on this but I'd still like that old Feature like an auto fit text.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] E The Magnificent:
Anyone else having a problem with smart stay not working properly? The screen still go black even with it on

On a side note I just tried Firefox and find it superior to Chrome and the stock browser. It has ha text reflow setting which auto fits text after zooming in
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pcfascist:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] smarcin:
I got it! I was trying to swipe while in the individual conversation thread. I started trying other things and figured it out. For those who don't know, you swipe right in the main Message screen, on the person you want to call. A one finger swipe will do it.

Does this phone seem laggy and slow when opening apps and switching between them.compared to the note 2 this phone seems slow. I was messing with my wifes s3 and hers is snappier. Missing my note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
I agree. That's why I kept my Note 2. The 5.5" screen can spoil you and you'll never get used to anything smaller...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
There is a setting in the Messaging app to turn off "Preview Message". It will still show that you received a message, it just won't show any part of the message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sweets55:
Not sure about apps just yet but WiFi seems faster on the SG4 compared to the note 2. Tried the HTC One for something different butbit was to small. SG4 seems like the right size for me.

So here are some major issues im having with this device. I have experienced these on several different US models of the S4 too not just my Sprint one. There is lag and stutter and glitches while using this phone, unnaceptable with this hardware . Keyboard has issues. Red hue to the screen when viewing deep blacks. Anyone else experiencing any of these problems? I might just be getting the HTC One after all? I have 12 days to decide.

Whats up guys I got my s4 today I think its a slick ass phone and all I wanna try to see if people are issues that I am having I had this phone for 6 hours now ive had over 10 to 15 random reboots I think the first few reboots where hotboots cuz playstore was updating apps on 3g but like right now im just sitting here on the couch and it reboot 3 times in a row almost like boot loops n I haven't rooted yet or anything so I cant say thats the problem but just wanna see if anyone was having the same issue I think I may have gotten a bad phone guess back tomorrow then but had some problems like smart scrolling dont work plam swap isnt working for a screen shot but thats all I found so far

Open up Messaging.

Press menu button, go to "Settings". If you don't see this, you may be on an actual messaging thread instead of the general messaging section (where each thread is listed by person).

Scroll down to "Background style" under "Display"

Sounds like you got a bad one. I'd try a factory reset first, but then I'd be off to exchange it for a new one.

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

Yes, but that only effects the conversation screen. What I'm talking about is the screen before that, that lists all the conversations. In some of the online reviews, that screen is also shown with a dark background. I don't think there is a setting for that.

yep it does...its in the settings submenu

i find it harder to use this feature on this phone than the SGS3 for some reason
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fusiondynamics:
It's not the air view option. Not the motor making that vibration. Like something is hollow inside and vibrates when you tap the actual phone.

I have been dealing with this problem with my bluetooth. Everytime I get out of my car the streaming audio functional automatically unchecks under the settings for my Paired Parrot device's settings. It is very annoying. Phone Audio stays checked. I know I am missing a setting, but where? I will keep looking.

Um, I noticed that when I was using INRIX Traffic - on follow me mode the map is extremely flickering, but almost as if it was updating to fast for it to really catchup. So small parts would flicker at a time. It was very weird. I am chalking it up to a possibility that INRIX is not compatable with 1080 yet. ??? not sure

iLove my s4. Before I got this phone I thought all JB4.2.2 would have the photosphere feature. Didn't think the camera was all that until i realize the default setting was 9.6MP not 13. And, oh yeah the Adobe Flash player kinda works?

Still a beastly phone tho!

I don't get random reboots, but the USB connection to my PC disconnects and reconnects literally every five minutes. Samsung drivers are up to date, and my S3 phone (kept it for development purposes) never disconnects--just my S4.

-USB connection has never dropped out once, and I've used it a fair amount.

-Unplugging and plugging the battery back in works normally.

My complaint isn't exclusive to the S4, but to all Samsung phones I've owned (OG Epic, Epic Touch, SIII, Note II and S4) ... I hate that the power button and volume rockers are on opposite sides of the phone (thankfully my Galaxy Note 8 doesn't have this same design flaw). I can't count the number of times I've tried to turn my screen off but instead turn the volume up/down. It obviously isn't a major issue (or a deal breaker proven by my Samsung purchase history lol) it's just very annoying.

My OG EVO (that my son was using until just recently) had the power/screen off button on top, which I love, but I'm sure Apple would've just used that as another feature to claim copyright infringement on in their ongoing, frivolous lawsuit.

Anyhoot, that's honestly the only complaint I have (other than that whole internal storage system hoarding and lack of ability to talk and use data).
