Might have to try that!

I haven't noticed any issues with my Bionic. Still a good phone. I was thinking of getting a new one though. Only reason I haven't is I will have to buy straight out so I keep my unlimited.

I was following that same train of thought, but I'm not so sure VZ is gonna let these grandfathered unlimited accounts carry on another 2 years. I have my suspicions they're gonna give em a whack. Not that I ever really go over the min, it's just nice to have unlimited.

We got outta the unlimited thing due to my wife stepping up to a smartphone.

B/T the two of us, we've YET to go over our alloted 4 gigs combined.

**BOOMSTICK069** · 06-03-2013, 10:47 PM

Me and the wife use 6-7 gigs a month. If I lost my unlimited my bill would increase by $40. That's really the only thing holding me back.

I'm enjoying my Galaxy S4. Still trying to find some compass apps as good as what I had on my iPhone. But otherwise good. The gesture stuff can be either cool or aggravating.

Im due for an upgrade from Verizon myself. I have the iPhone 4s now and I don't have any complaints with it but I have been thinking about the S4. I am also thinking of waiting it out for the new HTC One or the iPhone 5s. Not sure which way to go at this point.

Yea, kinda gimmicky but you can turn them off.

I have mine turned off.

The keyboard sucks. Using Thumb Keyboard in split layout. Bought it a long time ago and I think it's the best I've tried thus far.

oh yea, the keyboard does suck. i have swift key. problem solved.

**USMCsilver** · 06-04-2013, 08:21 PM

Does it do this?

If so -- I may try that one as I've read good things about it.

There's only one way to do it...

**LabLuvR** · 06-04-2013, 09:43 PM

The best thing about my IPhone 4S is the microphone as Rubber shows above. I ain't got to type jack crap no more. That feature alone sold me on the 4S!

The S4 had talk to text as well as the speaker button on the google bar that is on one of the alternative screens. It does all the same stuff as siri except its not a smart ass or conceited and doesn't say stupid shit back

USMC SIlver: you might orta send it back and get this one when it comes out:

I have the 4S and the Droid X2. Although the X2 pisses me off occasionally by hanging up in an app, it more than makes up for it with a MUCH easier GPS system. Just Google a place and hit directions. Apparently Apple and Google don't share toys well. Darn having to enter all the info on the iphone to get the GPS to work.....plus free music on Android.

I do like the voice recognition on the iphone though. The Droid is programmed for Yankee English.

I actually like to text now that I can just speak it.

Thanks, but I like my SAMOLED screen. Wouldn't give a shit about a 5mp downgraded camera.

It's a trade-off, I reckon. Soon, they'll all be waterproof...

My gripe with this phone?

The notifcations are not very loud. I have the "in pocket detection" active to increase the volume when in pocket; however, the volume still seems pretty low.

My other gripe is with my new case. The lip that wraps over the phone to actually hold it in is rather "large" and makes it a bit more challening to hit the back button; I kinda have to reach "around/over" the cover to hit the button easily.

Oh well.

The battery has done well today. Whooped my Bionic's ass and then some!
