Wanna replace my cracked screen. EBay and Amazon are full of options. Any idea how to pick a good one?

I never did this, but from what I hear it's not that simple. (if it's like the s3 it will need to be melted off)

It doesn't seem to hard. I did it on an Ipod touch.

Tutorial for S4:

The melting off just means using a blow drier over it for a minute or two to loosen the glue underneath the screen.

S4 MINI? I see they offer the mini at a cheaper price. Is it a worse phone? Which one should I get?

All that just to replace a cracked glass?
I'm not sure I need to replace the digitizer

It's not. Lower specs. Still a nice device.

Just got the phone. Have a dumb question:
On my laptop, if I open up an attachment in an email that contains a virus, hopefully my Norton360 will catch it. Who protects my smartphone from that very virus if I were to open that infected email on my phone?

Without downloading it, am I still protected? The Verizon rep I spoke to tonight told me that Verizon protects the actual phone unlike laptops that need Norton ect... Is he correct or do I need to download this?

Unless the attachment is a android app it won't affect Your phone even if infected (but if You transfer to pc...) All these apps are pretty useless and only scan installed apps.

My car allows me to play music from my phone via bluetooth. The problem is that whenever my bt connects music starts playing automatically. Anyone else have that issue? I've looked through all the settings.

I have the same issue. My voicemails that I've downloaded start playing.
I have a Sonata and when the phone connects you can toggle on the car between phone and music. On phone it's okay but when I switch to music things start playing automatically.

Is there no adobe flash player on the s4? I was just on a site that said I need adobe 6 or above, but when I tried upgrading, I got a message that my device doesn't support adobe flash player. Are there any workarounds to get it?

1)Go to Menu -> Settings -> Security and check Unknown sources.

2)Download and install this: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.63/install_flash_player_ics.apk

You might need to download a different browser such as Firefox if Your browser does not support plugins.
