Everything is very effective for my use. The only problem I have relates to getting weather. It keeps basing it on the town next to my actual location. Also, when I go to the Accu-Weather site to see each day detailed it brings me to a page that keeps stating this page does not support zooming and I can't see anything. Weird. Never happened with my S III.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Car Mode KILLS the value of this phone
on October 18, 2014
Posted by: dtkim80
I'm a Galaxy guy. This is my third from Samsung. I am a hair away from getting an iPhone 6 instead. The Car Mode function is the primary culprit. When I climb into my car, and the phone connects via bluetooth, I am able to play music and take calls through my car speakers, which is lovely. However, it turns on this little native app called Car Mode. When activated, it will automatically start playing music found on the phone's hard drive. This means that if I am not playing any music, and I don't want any music, it will play it anyway. It also means that if I am playing music through Spotify or Pandora, it will STOP that music, and start playing a random song found on the hard drive. I even disabled Google Play Music as I mistakenly thought that was the problem. It's 100% Samsung. The worst part of Car Mode is that I can't turn it off. It has a button allowing you to turn off Car Mode, but it will AUTOMATICALLY turn back on, even if you don't want it to...even if you're not in a car! I'll be walking down the street (or even sitting still) and find that the phone in my pocket is dialing an international number. Car Mode activates the screen. If you have the phone in your pocket, in a car, then it's game over. Your phone will start doing things without your consent. If I could truly disable Car Mode from ever turning on, I can live with that. But right now the only way this phone can be functional for my purposes is if I root it and install a different operating system, or throw it under a bus tire and get an iPhone instead.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, expensive, does things by itself
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
