Downloaded this which seems similar to my GNex keyboard with great aucocorrect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jlsoft.inputmethod.latin.jelly.free&?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

But unlike on my GNex it doesn't have swype built into it :(

It doesn't have auto correct, but it attempts to read your brain to predict what your thinking :P

The HTC One has a fantastic keyboard... with swype built in.

No, really I remember feeling the same way when I got the S4. I actually couldn't find any keyboard I liked as much as the stock one. They really have perfected it IMO.

As Androids go I am very happy with the battery. It got better after a week or two but I imagine that had more to do with me playing it at first when it was new.

I'm still waiting for a high end Android that will last 2 days easy. :)

I hear. Hopefully rooting the phone will fix most of the issues.

That didn't do anything but holding it down did.
Thanks!

double click the home button
+1. (holding it down) It's great for multitasking. You can swipe away apps that you want to close.
As an aside, people say that since double pressing the home button has a function (S Voice), pressing it to get home has a slight lag since it's waiting to see if you will press it again.
Change that setting in S Voice to speed up the home button..

Just got the S4 a few hours ago and OMG is TouchWiz frustrating beyond belief.
I just want my stock Android OS back  :'(

I'm assuming I can get it if I root it? Anyone have a good tutorial to follow?
#MissingMyGNex

Which firmware are you running, VRUAMDK or VRUAME7 ?

Main pro is everything is much smoother and less bogged down.

But the learning curve is far steeper than I expected and things that were so simple on the GNex now seem impossible.

Interesting stuff here: http://www.androidcentral.com/using-samsung-galaxy-s4-stock-android
Not really sure if I should mess with it.

I'd return and wait for the next Nexus if I knew VZW would carry it :P

I was going to mention that. https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=samsung_galaxy_s4

I'm on VZW.
GP S4 isn't for VZW.
