Samsung Galaxy4 issues

[Gillian Densmore]

Greetings fellow technomancers,

At small risk for re-asking a question:

For TLDR:

Ever since my Galaxy S4's android version got updated from Google and or Samsung. It's been having eradic (not be confused with erotic) issues that include: constantly not being able to connect to "googles network", driving mode causing it segfault, and frequently only getting updates from apps when i'm driving- causing the phone to BSOD, coredump, and generally not be a phone.

I've posted this issue to AndroidCentral, Android Pit, googles kinda-sorta support for the 'nexus experience'

Though I did get some comsiration it doesn't solve the basic problem.

Has anyone else experienced these issues, if so, how did they go about solving them

For those that might like a little detail:

Ever since some recent update a large range off basic features, and applications don't function consistantl, or the fundimental UX is dogy at best. For use I use the phone to stream music from googleplay, spotify, pandara and  if a 'play list' peeks my interest youtube. Before a change somewhere in the pipeline I could turn off the video segment of youtube  on my android. Or use 'mobile mode' on it and it'd do the same. Now  after some update that's getting harder to do.
Before some update I could type into 'Navi' the little floating bar on the start screen that to  get a play list German basic phrases(for instance) and it'd send me the audio. Sufficed to say having  having some effing 'youtube app' take over the device makes that neighimpossible to do. This all makes it harder and harder to resist pinging Rubin directly for tech support.

I have a vague picture of how that'd go (no I won't support your phone comes to mind).

For whatever it's worth, you will have much more control if you root and
install a custom ROM, perhaps this one:

Maybe you've already done that, though, in which case please ignore me.

I had a galaxy s2 which benefited a lot from cyanogenmod, both in terms of battery life and general usability.
