I have two questions.
1.How do I sign out from google mail?
2. Procedure for contacting people on videochat on hangout?
simon says
You can only remove a google account (or disable syncing). All Google services are tightened to this account, which is then tightened to the device. There is no sign out, as I know.
For hangout, you need download the app from Play Store. If you click hangout from Google+, it will bring you the installation page as well. If you want to start an video chat, press and hold the people in your circle, then video chat option should pop out.

Can you make a call from the contact list by swipping the contact to the right as you can write a message by swipping on the contact to the left?
simon says
Slightly different.
To send a text message, swipe your finger from right to left on the contact. Once you swipe all the way to the left a text message window pops on the screen and the contact will be selected as recipient.
To make a call, you can try to quickly swipe back and forth.

How do I set up my voicemail
simon says
You can set the voice mail at settings – – device – – call.
Of course, you need a voice mail provider. Most mobile phone carriers provide such services.

Eva says
Why can’t I send pictures on my messages and I do have Internet and it don’t show no errors.
simon says
You need enable mobile data.
If you didn’t get error messages, how did you know it’s not sent?

I switch off my S4 phone and charge it. Unfortunately, it was over charged. i tried switching it on but it is not responding; only some blue light has been showing. What should i do?
simon says
Galaxy S4 has its own protection mechanism to prevent overcharging.
You can remove the battery, wait a min, out the battery back, then try to power it on.
