So I went with the Galaxy S4. It is pretty slick.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oooh, I want one. Of course, I've been wanting one since the GS3 came out and that was the shiny new thing, and here I am a year later still holding on to my iPhone 4.

I actually looked at the iPhone4, 'cause, free. But in the end I spent the bucks, because, techy. I would have liked to have waited until the One hit Verizon (probably badged as DNA2) but I don't have the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My phone is being cranky as FUCK. It loses not just reception but the entire network. Half the time when I check it (trufax 50%) it says emergency calls only. And doesn't recognise TMobile until I restart.
WiFi is fine, and if only I still had a phone with integrated VOIP--but no! I'm paying for phone service.
But TMobile is balky about support, since I didn't get it through them.
As for the Galaxy 4, who let this microsite out the door and onto the web: [link] ? What the nutfuck is that? The Life Care page is the best, but they're all kind of off, both in terms of English and in how intimate I want to get with my phone (you can love your Android, just don't love your Android).

And it shows up in white so it's easy to tell what part is whitefonted.

Okay, so I'm on Jellybean, and there appears to be some weird bug.
When I'm on vibrate, my phone will vibrate for calls and Facebook notifications, but it won't vibrate for text messages. It will only vibrate for text messages if I turn on text message vibration all the time, which is irritating. I've done some Internet searching, and none of the proposed fixes (turning on haptic feedback, using the Audio Manager app) have worked. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey. New board.
Hmm. I leave vibrate on all the time but it does appear that the Samsung settings don't give very good control over notification vibrations. I think the "vibrate" mode it let's you set will control only the ringer, not the notification vibrations.
I will play a little more.
