Just made the switch from the i5 to the S4. What apps do I need? The dude in the store told me a few text apps, apparently the boxed text app on the S4 blows.

Never seen a stock SMS app that doesn't blow. The one I use is ChompSMS. Let me know what stuff you want to do and I'll try to suggest some apps for you.

Nova Launcher (for customization)

Swiftkey (for better typing); although, the stock keyboard on the S4 is pretty damn good.

Tumblr (for the porn site I run)

Waze (for navigation)

Contacts+ (better text/contact/phone app)

Are all your messages properly working? I had a friend who switched from the i4s to the S4 and they couldn't receive certain text/mms

It's actually something that Apple has done to keep people from switching to android.

One of the reps at Sprint explained it to me. Even after your iphone is wiped your iMessage is still activated because of itunes. You have to get Apple to turn off your iMessage and then have all of your contacts delete the thread with your number. Finally, they will need to re add your # without the + symbol in front of it for you to receive messages from people.

It's a smart business tactic by Apple. But, extremely shitty for the consumer who want something different.

From what I read online, Apple will not help you at all even if you call them. The iMessage server is on a 28-day cycle or something like that and you literally have to wait for that 28th day (may be one day, may be 28 days) and then and only then will you be unregistered from imessage

HYPERDRIVE,


that stuff scares me. I haven't been able to figure out flashing ROMs yet. I need a step by step guide for that and most of the sites I found use language that is way over my head.

That is the most infuriating thing. Such a bully tactic.
