I have used a Samsung S4 for the past two years.
I have just purchased a Samsung S6;
Pros:
o Excellent Speed and features
o Camera shutter lag is vastly approved. Better camera overall.
o Good Apps
Cons:
o No SD Card... a real bummer. Since phone memory is limited.
o No User removable battery ... another major bummer.
It was priced right... in anticipation of the Samsung S7
I would wait of Samsung 7 which is rumored to go back to CLASSIC.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Speed
What's not so great: Windows 8.1 & Office 2013 - Alot of Learning - No manuals
I added Samsung SSD to the system and it flies.
The USB3 external drives are fantastic.
Besides being a different system to learn, Widows 8.1 is a bit buggy.
Insert a new USB device... and you your previous devices can disappear.
No Manuals - I've had to buy books on Window 8.1, Office 2013, Outlook 2013 and Word 2013.. Google Helps ,,,
This product has... good sound quality, great picture quality, Lightning fast, terrible keyboard and mouse, can't see the lettering on keyhboard, mouse has no back or forward, lots of usb3 ports
About me... Basic web surfing & emails, Comfortable with technology, want ease of use, want reliability, want security

What's great about it: Nearly everything.... Many Many features
What's not so great: Samsung and Best Buy -- Manuals...paper & on-line
This is a remarkably full featured phone.
The Best Buy Price was teriffic.
So many features... but was able to get the basics up in a day
and each day I added new and useful capablities...
That continues.
The Best Buy On-Site Samsung support people were Very Helpful and knowledgeable.
I did find that even with Samsung, Verizon, and YouTube User Manuals -- The best thing I did was buy the book " My Samsung Galaxy S4". Had to get it from Amazon, recommend that Best Buy stock this book.
Also the recommendation of an Otter Box was right on.
Would have liked it if Best Buy would stock belt loop Holsters.
Very Happy with my purchase.
Having had the earliest smart phones, I backed off for awhile.. due to the cost and the fact that I'm home alot.
Very Glad I am a member of the Smart Phone club..
Thanks Best Buy
This product is... Easy navigation, Tough/durable, provided good calendar, good email integration - outlook gmail yahoo ms, good camera mp3, integration with my samsung tv, large selection of apps

What's great about it: Druable Case -- It popped out of the hoster first night - did not break phone
What's not so great: Holster holder and case holder - inadequate. Screen cover not so good.
Pros:
It is a very durable case. and reasonably to over priced.
Cons:
o Holster to belt clip... Good, but No Belt Loops for more Security
o Holster to Cell Phone - This is very iffy when your carrying around a $800 phone. Normally it is ok. But if you work in tight places where it is likely to be bumped, It can be popped out quite easily. Also, it is possible to "seat" the phone in the holster, and have it not "click" firmly in place. I had to check it after returning to the holster to be sure.
The bottom line is that I did not trust the holster and bought a R_____ Holster with: a) stiched belt loops & clip and b) full pocket with fold over cover with magnetic closure.
The screen protector is not as good as other products in terms of sensitivity and strength of protection..
Otter would do well to consider improvements in these areas.
ps: In a good gesture; They did offer to replace the holster.... if I sent in two pictures plus
but I just bought a R_____..
This product has... Attractive design, A no slip grip, Tough/durable, good fit, protects phone / not secure, not secure enough holster
About me... parent, outdoor enthusiast, active lifestyle, traveler, engineer, maintain my own home/car/etc

What's great about it: Price -
What's not so great: The picture colors
I have other Samsung products from Best Buy::
o High end 55 in Samsung TV - LED , 3D
o 21 in Computer Monitor - Very high resolution and color
o Also had two old 19 in Samsungs crts now gone.
So I had high expectations for this TV for the bedroom.
It does not seem to be up to Samsung standards in color & clarity.
I tried to change the setting, but still need optomizing.
It is still pretty good and adequate though.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control, difficult to adjust color
About me... Technically savvy viewer, retired

Will tv universal remote work with Cisco cable box from Time Warner

1. Specify the name and model number of the TV Universal Remote.. They are not all the same. You'll never get a reliable answer !!!

2. Talk to Time Warner about Cisco. Not the general public.

Plugging the charger SG 4 4G

Does the port to plug in the charger a cover or it is air open?.
You will want a Silicone Guard case to protect it against drops.

My Otterbox has a charger cover.
I don't recall if it had a plug of some kind, which Best Buy removed when they put it in the Otterbox for me.

does this phone really require a data plan?

I need a new phone but only want to use it for calls and text messaging, I can care less about the internet features, and is it possible to just bypass the data plan.
If you only need calls and text Messageing,
You don't need this big / expensive multi feature phone.
The Samsung S4 is a full featured computer !!!

If you get this phone anyway... you will end up getting the Data Plan
there are just too many tempting goodies out there.
For not too much more money I got unlimited calls and text.and 2 gig of shared data..
I use mine on WiFi 90% of the time and have not scratched the surface of my Data. I may even downgrade the data part.

Droid DNA to S4

Would an upgrade from the Droid DNA by HTC to the Samsung Galaxy S4 be worth it?
No One Answer:

Make a spread sheet...
with two columns...
Then list the pros and cons in the rows.
put a column for notes, cost /time savings

One or two features may make the change worth it.

It also depends on your Carrier plan.. and how soon to upgrade.

Also Google for Review and Comparisons on line.
Alot out there.
Only you know your requirements. and that takes some digging.
Know one , Know one Else can TELL you.
Best Buy personnel are knowledgeable and are a good sourse of information to help you fill out your matrix.

is there a sleep timer to shut off the phone at night & wake it up in the morning?

YES...
Since you normally plug it in for a recharge each nite...
o It takes about 5 seconds to hold the power button and its shut OFF.
o It taks about 2 seconds to push the power button and it comes ON.

My bedtime varies, and I would not want it to power down in the middle of sometthing.
In the morning, The boot time is a few seconds.. it happens when I unplug the phone from the charger and put it in my holster.
