@ Anthony & UK user
You bunch of Capitalists!
The options were 1) Open and use, or 2) Keep sealed and put away.
Then again.......

Freefaller™, 02 Sep 2013@ UK user Hmmm.... Not the answer I was expecting but it... moreBtw i did not intentionally choose pink, we just got a good as new phone with also a £5 off offer at virgin yrs ago. And if you do sell i guess you have heard of cex that you can get the price for the phone online and take to a store. Also topdollar mobile has bought my old phones for very good prices in the past. And i do believe their office is in Guildford so you could save the hassle of sending it through the post.

Freefaller ™, 02 Sep 2013How to lose friends (but here goes). I have just purchased... moreSometimes i cant believe you must be like 10 yrs older than me. Hm.....what would i do well sell it. Its a no brainer......its hardly any better than the sgs3 as this phone is such a beast of technology. Also, you would have to purchase various other accessories for the s4 (yes some would be usable anyway). I still havve my x6 my sg1 and a xperia mini pro....and right now i am using an acatel that has a keyboard....sort of like a lower class blackberry (in pink lOl!). maybe keep S4 JUST incase?

How to lose friends (but here goes).
I have just purchased a sim free, BNIB Galaxy S4 i9500.
I have a friend who is up to his eyebrows in debt and is facing eviction if he doesn't pay off some of his rent arrears today.
He was recently given the S4 by his carrier for renewing his phone contract and he wanted to sell it today. Someone offered to buy it for £300 but couldn't pay today, so I offered him £250 ($388USD) cash and he accepted.
Now for the question. Do I open the S4 box or not. If I do, then the value of the phone drops straight away. I love my S3, but the resale value would be peanuts.
If I don't use the S4 then there was no point in buying it. One half of me says "Go on, you know you want to use it", but the other half says "Keep it sealed" because you don't NEED it.
Come on guys, what do I do?

In that case download "Shake" and set the sensitivity at 30. You only have to breathe on the screen to light it; that's why I said don't turn it up!
I kid you not, just the lightest tap on the screen is enough. Just remember to turn it off in the morning.

Right, now I understand what you are asking. The simple answer is NO. The standard size USB port on the charger is Female, which designates OUTPUT. (If you are confused then remember that the Male always fits into the Female. Don't say it Anthony!).
The Inputs are the micro USB connector and the mains fitting on the rear of the charger, you can't charge IN on the standard USB connector.

I am looking into Nokia N9 style simple tap & wake kinda solution. Shaking is not wat I am lookin for. I am tired of shaking lol.

Mine has 2 fold out prongs that plug into an adapter that then goes into the mains. Reviewers mentioned that they can also instead charge it via the usb port that it has on the side with a pc/laptop usb lead plugged then into it. But as is commion that way is slow. My question was whether a usb to usb lead could be plugged into the sgs3 chargers (fast or normal charger) annd then plugged into the usb port on the side of the charger. And what usb lead etc.

I'm not really sure what you are asking. Are you talking about 'desktop charger', where you insert a spare battery into the slot and plug it into a wall socket to charge it? If so, then the micro USB is INPUT, and the standard USB is OUTPUT. The idea is that you can use a spare battery as a power source.

I have a good friend who owns this phone and it is one of the best phones I have seen. Its powerful camera delivers sharp images. Its screen has incredible clarity. Web browsing is very fast. Transition between applications is speedy. It is very touch friendly and easy to use. Its battery life is very long lasting. I rate this phone 8.5 out of 10

I'm wondering if i could get a usb to usb cable and plug either my normal charger or the fast charger into the anker wall charger. Basically, just put the the conventional charge into the usb port (with whatever is the right usb to usb cable is). No idea if this is safe to do.

I have found what you want! Go onto Google Play ... moreI don’t plan to use that app so I don’t know if this will happen or not. But I’m thinking
I have shake to turn on flash light from lock screen.
And It’s amazing how many times that activates in my pants pocket.
Same goes for screen shots. Some times I will be walking and just hearing screen shots being taken one after the other. Wonder how many time shake to wake the screen will turn your phone screen on in your pocket?
