You can open from there, tap on the message and an empty box shows up, swipe to unlock in that box and it will open in the message app.

Thanks. What a stupid feature. How can that be better than just swiping up from the message widget at the bottom of the screen.

I totally agree! But that's the way 4.2 works... It's the same on the nexus 7 and has taken some getting used to.
I actually just swipe down the notifications bar and get to it from there.

freitasm: I know the handset is out already but got this video from Samsung today so I will post it here anyway:

JohnnyDrama: Ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid for the S4.. It will probably arrive before my phone does! :(

Guys, i saw a video review which stated the S4 does not have an autocorrect function for messages, emails etc? Is this correct? Seems a little strange its not a default feature on such a phone.

I'll be moving from a One X so I dont know if this is standard for the Galaxy range?

networkn: I have to say I bought the HTC One yesterday, and I am DAMN Impressed. Their software and polish beyond reproach, if the HTC had expandable memory and a better power button, I think I'd be selling my Galaxy S4. I love it, but the HTC is something to behold.

Here are some things that I did to make my S4 much better after looking at the HTC.

1) Used the HTC Lock screen and Wallpaper
2) Turned off SVoice home button activation.
3) CHANGED MY FONT SIZE TO SMALL!!! Much nicer and sharper now.

Apparently there is an update for the SnapDragon S4 which improves performance. In 2 hours of using the HTC I haven't noticed a Single MS of lag moving around. The S4 does have some. It's very minor but annoying.

Being Lazy, do I require root to change my lock screen. I hate the Samsung one with the widgets.

jeffnz: Networkn just a quick question, I haven't had a chance to have a look at the HTC one IRL but form the looks it has capacitive buttons meaning the actual view-able size of screen is much less that S4, is this right or are my eyes playing tricks.

I think you mean onscreen buttons? It does not. Although in the case of apps that have no overflow button a menu softkey will appear at the bottom of the screen. I suspect this will be fixed in an upcoming software update.

The full screen area is otherwise used.
