Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Urban Gray (AT&T)

Its a very fast phone with a long lasting battery that has more adaptability than ive had with any other phone. to buy an OTB cable for this thing is almost a need, to be able to move stuff from flashdrives/cameras/etc to the device or anything else is amazing. i can even plug in a xbox 360 wired controller and play games.On top of all that its the Active series, meaning its water resistant allowing to take it for runs in the rain and what not, then also its more durable, im a very active guy doing parkour and freerunning so its nice to have a phone that can hold its own, but then back to the side of me thats computer science having the processor to b able to keep up with speeds so i can control my desktop at home! AMazing product with amazonprime = two day shipping. best buy ever.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!This is a nice phone but there is an echo for the far end caller when I use the ear piece.I've had the phone replace 3 times and each of them has the same defect.

After a long line of WinMo phones, I switched to the Motorola Atrix 4G at launch. Kept that phone for years until I got this one. It's amazing how far technology had moved in that time.The screen is bright, the phone is durable and fast, great battery life, etc. I'll probably be a Samsung fan as long as they keep putting microSD slots in their phones.My only complaint, which has persisted across android versions on this device, is GPS. I play an augmented reality game that is very dependent on GPS, and it seems to have problems initializing the GPS antenna. It's probably less noticeable with other less-frequently used applications, but I've noticed it happens with Maps and other location-dependent services as well. Usually this is fixed quickly enough by just toggling GPS off and back on after a few seconds, but sometimes the phone has to be rebooted. I contacted Samsung support about this and there was no resolution, other than what I just mentioned.That, coupled with all the bloatware that Samsung pre-installs, cost it one star. I don't like all the very invasive permissions these apps need, particularly considering I didn't even want them installed.Hardly a deal killer though. It's nice to see several of the concepts from the S4a become standard on the S5 (the IP67 rating, for example).

junk. okay, not all that bad. the good - big screen, clear bright colors, overall the images and the resolution is great. the bad - mainly the phone feature and then the "geek" factor in all of the silly options just to keep the techie freaks happy. i only needed a phone that works and is able to be stable during use. during a call the phone heats up real fast!, the keypad starts to jump around and zoom and zoom out on its own. if theres a need to hit certain keys during a call it sometimes doesnt let me since its zoomed in so much i can only see a few numbers to press. very frustrating and really, what is the basic feature of this gadget? A PHONE!. i updated the software hoping it would clear it up but nothing. i cant wait for apple to come out with its bigger screen this year. im "upgrading" to it as as fast as possible. the only reason i bought this phone was that the iphone didnt come out with a larger screen. now i see why apple is so popular. so many people poop on apple but their iphone at least is the best out there. i had the old 3gs and it worked perfectly, didnt heat up, USER friendly(very important). there are some of us out there who dont care about "developer mode". what a bunch of crap. i realize now that samsung is for the techie geeks who like to keep their fingers busy and the iphone is the least frustrating phone out there. two worlds of mobile phone users i guess.

The battery port isn't working properly. I tried using multiple charging cords to try to charge the phone, but nothing works. The volume and power buttons stick when I press them.Other than that, it works just fine.Just wish I would have gotten a phone that would friggen charge...

Awesome phone. Waterproof, shatterproof, and got it for my boyfriend for Christmas. We're not ones to really "keep up with the jones's", and despite this phone not being the MOST RECENT UP TO DATE phone technology, it's absolutely amazing. Works well, holds a charge, and was a decent price for it all. Love that there are phones now a days that can be dropped into a bathtub on accident and survive.

Buy something else. I can't text with this pos because the buttons are too small. So many features and very little user support. Unless you have hours of time to experiment with the features don't even think you will understand it all. Trap doors, multilevel functioning, multiple windows, etc. I want my Blackberry back

When I bought this, it was $0.01 plus fees, while the S4 was $50. This is a good free smart phone, in addition to the safety from water hazards. My friend flipped when her boyfriend clumsily spilled some Velveeta on my phone and I casually ran it under the kitchen sink to clean it. I also take calls in the shower. There are a few problems with the hardware drivers, one being that it has a terribly difficult time telling how dim the screen should be on auto when it's not in direct light. I keep turning off and on auto depending on how I want the screen to be, in other words manually adjusting it.. There are other software problems relating to the hardware, including the screen, but these are all livable. Overall, it's a good phone.
