    Thanks for the cell phone lessons Ian, I am dreadfully ignorant in using a cell phone other than phoning and taking photo’s

      There is one thing about the S4 that gets right on my tietties.... The button on the front should have been recessed. When the phone is locked and in its pouch the button gets pressed in my pocket and the phone does its own thing. There is no way to disable the button if the screen is locked. The only way to do it is to put a code lock on the phone which is a pain.

      I suppose the answer is to make my own cover.

      My cover is also a pain because when I flip the front over to the back the camera is obscured.

      Here is a nifty trick that I use when I do my 007 thing taking pics of opposition products in shops - you know the camera makes the click sound...well, if you put the phone on Mute or Vibrate then it takes pics noiselessly.

            What ever you don't join any watsapp groups, because then your time will be consumed or you will end up throwing the phone out the window while driving down the freeway, lucky for the guy who found my iphone because it had a griffin survivor cover, if I change my mind and want it back, the find me feature was switched on.

                Perhaps I can have all of this work to my advantage then

This is the reason why I quit face book years ago. I just know way too many people

                  I will have to employ a hot little secretary just to deal with all this shit

                  How do you guys with Watsapp cope?
                  Okay here's what you do,you have an S4 from what I read.The main problem is that the other people can see when you were last on so if you go to read a message it shows your online and everyone under the sun wants to catch up,so if you want to read a message but not show your online all you do is disconnect all access to the internet and make sure you get all of them,open whatsapp read the message exit whatsapp and there you go.Same apply for send a message disconnect from the internet open whatsapp reply to message exit and turn on your internet again and non of your friends are he wiser.

                    Thanks League that is dam good advice. I just wish that WA was an invite only user platform. Where you choose who can see your online presence and only communicate with them. But you know I must admit that it is not all that bad. Last night I got in touch with a whole lot of friends with whom I do wish to communicate and from this communication we have arranged a big get-together. The one thing I have done to curb people’s attention somewhat (lack of better phrase) is that I don’t have a profile pic so hopefully this makes them think I can’t use my phone properly (which I can’t) and they will excuse me from ignoring them. But again thanks I will use your method from now on...good man good man

                      No problem man and if you struggle to much with turning of you internet connection there's an app that turns it off for you when you open whatsapp but if you use it its hard to shear pic,video's...etc.
