I get a random popup on my S4. "Javascript required" and then it gives me instructions to enable Java on various browsers. This error has nothing to do with me actively using a browser on the phone. How do I cure this? Thank you.

How can I stop Google Play Music from automatically downloading my library?

How to quickly lock the screen?
If you leave the android phone idle it will lock the screen, so you need draw lines in the dots to unlock it. But I need quickly lock the phone when I will put in my bag, by example. Basic phones I simply hold the # or * button and the keys will lock. How do I do to get this in android phones?

I have been reading conflicting information about the GPS signal lock in the XDA Developers Forums. Certain users say they have to be outdoor to get any lock in to satellites, others say they could lock in their home basement. Which one is it?
