I was having the messaging issue and only seeing 3G in 4G areas and after to getting to tier 2 tech support my phone may be fixed. Will know in the next day or so. The fix was going to main settings, connections tab, more networks, then mobile networks. change network mode to LTE/CDMA and then global data roaming access to allow access for all trip. The tech told me that since the S4 is used by multiple wireless companies the upgrade may have changed the default to global which Verizon does not use. The other thing he had me do is uninstall the updates for Hangouts then turn it off in the application manager and also uninstall Facebook Messenger app. It seems to be working so far. He said if it works for a day or so reinstall Facebook Messenger and see if it runs fine for a day or so then reinstall Hangouts and see if it continues to work after that. He has seen issues with Facebook Messenger and Hangouts causing this problem. Hope that helps, it has for me so far!
