I noticed if you pull the back off the device there is a fourth button on the side with no actual hardware to push it, anybody know what it is/what it's for?
Is that the thing that detects the magnet for smart covers?

No.
It's a special button for the members of the Commonwealth.
You press it @5pm and your servant comes with your cup of tea

Just updated to ICS, but the Home + Power for screenshot doesn't work anymore. Volume down + Power doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

Hold the button on the S-Pen and press on screen for a second until you hear the camera click sound. This works for me on ICS.
No need 4 spen 2 screencap unless u have it out already just
Do it with touch input

or with ur thumb in a vertical position that works 2

I believe palm swipe gesture is easier than other ways.

Just randomally goes to lock screen? Even when using the device I have my screen timeout for two mins but this random ally happens sometime twice less then a minute.

I believe I found out what's causing it.. lol I am wearing a magnetic ring and when I touch near the bottom left on the back it turns the display off weird?

So apparently its supossed to do that with magnets like in a case but works with my ring kinda cool.

Had the same problem. Used to fold the front of my case behind the tablet to use Kindle app for example then realised the magnets were causing the screen to lock. Was driving me nuts for a while and I was all ready to return the tablet to the store. All's well now though :good:
Does anyone know what the holes on top of the phone are for & would you recommend removing the tape?

Largest is headphone jack, medium sized one is IR, small tiny one is a sound cancellation mic that works in conjunction with the one on the bottom.
What is the IR hole?

The S4 has an IR blaster so you can use it like a universal remote for your TV. Open the WatchOn app and you can use the universal remote from there. Haven't tried it on 3rd party apps yet.
Oh, that's right. I already used it

Hold power button and volume down.

Or swipe up from bottom, to quick memo, and save. I find this easier, cause I have huge fingers... lol

I agree, only thing is it cuts off the navigation bar when u use quickmemo, which isn't a big deal IMO...
U got to hold both buttons together for the screenshot to kick in "power and volume down button." Otherwise quick memo is awesome too

Whenever it is unlocked and I place it on top of a card with a magnetic strip. Does this mean that it can use wireless charging?

Dafuq ??
Your phone has a magnetic sensor in it, it's attracting the contents of the strip ... That sound/act doesn't means it is gonna charge wirelessly....
That's all I know....
Well idk how the wireless charging works, I thought maybe it had something to do with a magnetic field. What does the magnetic sensor do?

Now that makes sense I was trying to figure out why something with such a small magnetic field would get a reaction from the device where the magnets from my name tag doesn't when my phones in my shirt pocket....
