I bought and installed the following on my SE almost two years ago and have had no problems whatsoever, and I've left the phone on wireless charger pads almost all day everyday since then. 8h+ at work, 8h+ at night...

When I bought the phone it had 8.0 and I used PfD to get 8.1 immediately. GPS worked fine, but I had lots of random reboots, and the touch screen would lock up all the time, so I was constantly rebooting anyway. When 8.1 was officially released for my phone, there was also a firmware update to...

I have a Samsung Ativ SE on Verizon, and ever since we got the official update to 8.1, my GPS has given me nothing but trouble, constantly stalling while I drive around. I just saw the Lumia 735 and was excited at the thought of switching to a phone that'll get win 10... until I found this...

Have you had any issues with GPS flaking out? If you drive around with turn-by-turn, does it stay with you the whole trip? I find the GPS on my SE stalls out regularly, so I end up missing turns because it still thinks I'm miles back and not moving. And there's not even a notification like it...

Anyone remember the old PalmOS Space Trader game? Fly around from planet to planet, buy/sell commodities, fight pirates, deal with police, buy better ships, etc... Are there any decent games in this genre for WP? I see Dope Wars NY, but it's kind of thin. Paid is fine, just nothing with energy...

In general mine seems to be lower too. More specifically, and annoyingly, the GPS is now unreliable. Ever since downgrading and updating it constantly gets off on parallel streets, and worse, seems to stall out constantly, so HERE thinks I'm not moving for like 30 seconds, then freaks out and...

Less than a day and I'm pretty happy. Changes I've noticed so far, switching from the PfD 8.1 to 8.0 then the official 8.1: Pros: Screen doesn't go randomly unresponsive to touch (usually after calls) so far Doesn't randomly crash when using the camera / light Added USB settings (prompt for...

Finally biting the bullet. Game saves aren't worth the constant screen not responding to touches after every phone call in the PfD. Just saw a "SAMSUNG UPDATE" in the list, so hopefully that's the firmware updates I've wanted. I also took out the SD card with apps on it before doing anything...

Just got this as well, at least that's what the description was for. Still waiting for the firmware updates since I'm on PfD and don't want to reset and downgrade.

Save your USB port and go wireless charging. Amazon.com: S4 SlimPWRcard - 0.5mm Ultra Thin Qi Receiver Card Module for Samsung Galaxy S4 IV compatible with NFC function, recommended to use with QiStone+ & WoodPuck or KoolPad, for SGH-I545, SGH-i337, I9505G, I9515, I9500 and other I9505 models...

Still on 8.1 DP, still annoyed by the screen going unresponsive randomly. It's been particularly annoying lately as I've missed several calls since I couldn't hit answer. Are the issues still present on the official 8.1? Any hope on getting those firmware updates without having to revert back...

You sign-in and are given the choice about restoring a backup or not. Plus if you're current phone is on 8.1 I don't think you can even restore the 8.1 backup to the 8.0 Samsung. I chose no restore, then proceeded to install DP and updates. Only a couple hours max, then started on apps. Besides...

You know, I was suspicious it was something like this. After a month with this phone I use the power button lock-unlock almost all the time, and no problem. But it's always when I'm like "oh wait, don't!" and try to stop it from unlocking that I "know" that I'm going to have a stuck screen...

I can confirm that the Moga Hero works on my Samsung ATIV SE running DP with the Sega emulator EmiGens Plus. Was a complete surprise since no one, not even the developer, seems to advertise it. Took me a lot of tries to get any game to recognize the controller, including a reboot and removing...

You can use a Galaxy S4 wireless receiver on the SE. Was like $12 on Amazon and boom, wireless charging. Don't know about the other connectors.
