Anyone get that update? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Last night I got some Samsung push service update. Ever since I ran the update it seems like my s4 has been running quicker. Am I just imagining this?

Got it the other day. It was an update for Samsung apps from what I gathered from the playstore info.
here is the link for info:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuc3BwLnB1c2giXQ..

So is it possible it made my phone faster or am I imagining it you think?

Do you ever have a slight half second delay when you hit the home button when you're in an app but other times it's like instant?

Imaging it. The update is to an individual apk and has nothing to do with I/O.

Make sure that in the Settings for S Voice you disable the home button activating S Voice. Makes Home button response better.

Placebo. I actually got the notification for that update, realized that I forgot to freeze it, so I froze it. It's just bloatware.

Wish I could figure out why my home button has a slight delay sometimes. Closing all recent apps makes it go away.

Do you have the S-Voice mapped to your home button? If you push it twice then it opens S-Voice you do. Just disable it from the S-Voice options.

I wish Google Voice Search could be used with the home button instead of S voice. Seems to be a much better application.

One thing I miss from my iPhone... Is there an android alternative?

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Lol this it isn't the home button that brings up multitasking.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Holding down the home button brings up the recent apps. Holding the back button down brings up the "Multi-window" bar. If you don't see it, make sure you have multi-window turned on in settings or in the widgets in the notification bar. I think its one of the furthest widgets on the right (scroll).
Ok i guess i should use different words when i push the home button down sometimes it will stop bringing up the "recent apps" and i have to restart the phone for it to start working again

Try going into Settings-->Application Manager-->scrolling over to the ALL tab, and clearing the cache and/or data for the TouchWiz Home. If that fails to resolve your issue, then you may end up needing to do a factory reset. My device isn't showing any stored cache, so I would delete the data from my phone before doing a factory reset. However, you may have stored cache, which I'd delete that first and see if the problem goes away.
Are you running any sort of task killer? If so, many time the recent applications list gets wiped.
Good Luck,
Jason

I sometimes think of long home press as multi-tasking myself. Recently opened apps are lined up in their last data state ready for quick waking. And you can quickly get back to your very last app by tapping the see through screen visible below all the other apps.
I tried clearing the TouchWiz data and that didnt seem to help i guess i will do a factory reset tomorrow and hopefully that solves the issue if not ive only had the phone for a week so i guess i can do an exchange
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I just read about a person who had a defective power button, so if the factory reset doesn't work then take it into Verizon and tell them the home button is defective.

Best SMS app I've tried.
I'm very picky with sms apps as I don't like the idea of sharing my my sweet nothings with someone else's server (paranoia alert!) but, this app does what I want without that fear. I like the idea of picking who it alerts to and that I can keep my chats minimised while doing other things. I use sms flash and this app works really well with it as I use that app to alert me for pin codes and everyone else (because I don't use the reply feature) and Ninja for the important peeps. Cheers Dev!

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I think you will need to adjust volumes individually. So puts the volume key, then when the slider comes up press the gear. From there adjust the desired volumes.

I totally agree
I actually just tried unlinking them with Switch Pro, which used to work in the ICS days, and it cannot unlink them. You can move the sliders individually, but as soon as you exit the screen and go back in, the notification is set back to the same as the ringer.
Hopefully someone else has an answer.
I almost wonder if it has something to do with Verizon. I am currently running Novella Rom from at&t threads using the vzw patch and it is the first tw rom I have run that allows separation that sticks. It's also the first I've run that the ringtone and notification volumes don't seem to be stuck at the same loudesh level regardless of slider placement.

Just to clarify, when you put the ringer in vibrate only the notification will stay turned up. I can have two volumes, but when I set it to vibrate it forces both to vibrate

Ah thanks for clarifying. That is a different issue. My issue I would have (and I think the op) is the complete inability to separate the 2. And I never even noticed a difference in volume level either(always pretty loud). It was like that on stock, beans, eclipse for me. Novella is the first I've run that it allows any separation (and obviously aosp bases). Reason I suspected Verizon on top of my experience is my wife's S3 has the same issue.
