Great that the S4 has removable media.
But App to SD is not available on my S4. Found out about that little quirk after I got my phone. What do you guys do?

My S4 does have App to SD, but I mostly use the SD card for pictures and music. My apps easily fit in the 16GB of device storage (no games).

Removable storage has become unimportant to me. I don't store music or any kind of media on my phone. Music is uploaded to the cloud and I don't watch movies on my phone. I had 16GB/16GB on my Razr Maxx and after almost 2 years had plenty of spare space. I could have prolly got away without even having an SD card.

I almost got a Maxx, as I always had Moto with the smart phones. I didn't mainly because of the removable battery on the S4. That seems to be on the way out, though as so many now have non-removable batteries. I have a 32GB chip on my S4 and know that it would be enough for me.

In the end, it was more of a coin toss. I have the Edge plan so I can swap phones down the road if I really want to.

Which Carrier's S4 is that? I hear a future update might enable App to SD.
My T-Mobile S4 had about 9GB of useable space when I bought it. The other (16-9=) 7GB was used by system stuff.

Asking about the smart actions and letting ppl know I'm using Tasker as the alternate.

I'm on Verizon. They enabled Apps To SD with the first upgrade of the operating system. Right now, my Android version is 4.2.2 and the Baseband version is I545VRUDMI1, but we on Verizon are expecting an upgrade to Android version 4.3 and Baseband version I545VRUEMJ7 "shortly". Supposedly today, according to the rumors.

This would be a happily received miracle... that I'll believe when I see... :)

You can already do that, you can still transfer apps easily from your internal memory to SD card, and you can play from your SD card directly. Hence allowing you to give extreme space. Here is an article that will help you in transferring apps (no matter how big they are) from your S4 internal memory to SD card.
