[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] McCadi:
It was advertised to monitor blood glucose, and after buying a galaxy s4 there is clearly no way of logging glucose readings or connecting a blood monitor. I even called samsung mobile support and they confirmed that it supports glucose logging but they have absolutley no idea how to access the function. It seems to me that they have advertised this feature but have not built it into s health. Thoughts on this? :banghead:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Gelat0:
maybe you need one of the accessories?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tietherope:
Open S Health, go to settings, then "add more features". There it states blood glucose as an accessory related feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] knowledgeworker:
OMG, what a support! You are right: You need an additional hardware accessoire or (maybe, let's hope) their software will support it,

but:

This feature / software needs to be downloaded separately and it isn't available yet! Even if you'd get your hands on a suitable Samsung or 3rd party hardware, you may still have to wait on that in the worst case!

From a practical standpoint: I am pretty sure that Samsung will offer the above glucose and blood pressure software

once

their hardware is available worldwide. But they'd shoot themselves in the foot if they'd offered it now and people would buy competitor products, so that is why they are waiting to do so!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] McCadi:
You make a good point, I suppose I'll just be checking sammy's website until something is released. I might try getting 3rd party cables to try and connect them, I'll let you guys know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] knowledgeworker:
Which kind of cables connected to what?

In principle you can also use totally different apps, i.e. I am sure there are already blood glucose and blood pressure items out there.

(That have their own Android app...)

And I'll definitely consider those, after Samsung published their devices in my country, because I don't plan to pay more just because it says "Samsung" or integrates with S-Health.

There is no lag for me with the facebook app. Remember, Facebook does mot load all the content at once, the content is loaded as you scroll down the page, that's why you thing it is lagging.

Do a test, scroll down like 10 pages, then scroll all the way to the top, then scroll back down, you will notice no lag at all. Most app on cellphone are like this such as Google+ and blinkfeed

As you scroll down, the page has to pause and load the content.

Next to the camera settings, the only place where scroll lag is really obvious to me, is the G+ App. "Force GPU Rendering" doesn't help either and actually lowers scrolling performance in other places as well (Whats App). The Nexus 4 definitely did a better job here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
Hey guys, don't know if people have done this already, but I just got a T-mobile S4 for testing this weekend and I wanted to find out if the wireless charging port was enabled since I've done the touchstone wireless charging mod on my S3 and note 2.

It was especially a PIA on the note 2 since T-mobile, in all of its corporate and engineering wisdom, decided to disable the feature for the Note 2, even though it was enabled for the S3. So for those of you who don't like to dissemble your new phone and solder on a tiny PCB, you'll be happy to know that I confirmed that wireless charging ports on the S4 is indeed enabled.

I took a pack of 4x AAA battery assembly, which provides ~4.7v of DC power, and connected to the charging port in the back. The small pair on the left is the charging port, the pair on the right is supposedly NFC, even though the NFC antenna is located on the battery for S4.

As you can see from the pics, the "the phone is now charging wirelessly" notification pops up when the circuit is live, which is pretty annoying IMO and can't be disabled (that's why we have custom roms right?)

I haven't gotten a chance to install the actual touchstone wireless charging receivers on the back yet, as this is a test unit that I have to return, but I don't imagine this to be too different than on the S3. There will be a slight bulge, but it'll be worth it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RonDigital828:
How do I put this mod in use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
Tried it with my Qi charger from Energizer and it's doing absolutely nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
Just follow the instructions from this thread (it's for an S3). The design for S3 is pretty similar, so it should work. Remember the positive pin is on the left, negative (ground) is on the right.

Also note that the touchstone mechanism is not Qi compatible, so it wont work with the newer charging mats for Nokia or HTC.

And always remember to perform these mods at your own risk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
Did you install any receiver on the S4?

I didn't mean to confuse anyone, I only confirmed that it is POSSIBLE to perform the mod. I used a 4.7v DC power supply to test if the wireless charging pins on the back are live, which wasn't the case for T-mobile note 2 so I had to check to make sure.

If you already have a Qi charger, you can get one of these receivers and connect it to your phone, then you'll be able to charger with your mat

http://www.ebay.com/itm/qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item51abef6de9

But I would argue that the touchstone method is superior to qi if you plan on using it in a car, as the magnets keep the phone in place is it's really convenient to connect/disconnect when you're driving.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:

the link above is the thread with a tutorial on how to do the mod for S3, should apply to S4 as well.

I can confirm that it trickle charge S3 and Note 2 ( if I understood you correctly, it will keep the phone charged as long as it's on the touchstone base), shouldnt be any different for S4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
Ummmm, from everything I read the pins you have it hooked up to are NOT the ones for inductive charging, the gold ones on the right are......

I could be mistaken however. I remember the s3 used those pins, but I've read in a couple places that the ones made specifically for inductive charging are the ones on the right above the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
What ARE all the other pins back there for? I figured one set (had no idea which one) was for inductive charging, but couldn't figure a reason for the others..:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
the smaller set is wireless charging, the larger set is presumably for additional NFC antenna (although I measured no resistance in the circuit with my voltmeter), as the back cover seemed to have a carved out area for a NFC like the Note 2 did.

Although the S4 battery says "NFC" on it, which seems like samsung made a last minute decision to put NFC on the battery instead of the back cover... oh samsung ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
Nope, the NFC is in fact in the battery, the same way Samsung has been doing it for years now. They made no change.

Oh false information from people that don't know what they're talking about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
Dude, on the Note 2, the NFC antenna is located on the back cover, with two little pins connecting to the main board

Here's my back cover, see attached. It's an aftermarket cover so it only has the placeholder for the antenna, same as the S4.

Here's what the stock note 2's back looks like (ironically also has a wireless charging mod

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...arging-Back-Cover-Titanium-Gray-/150957514858

The fact that S4 still has those unused pins (and with no voltage or resistance measure across), and a placeholder on the the stock back cover led me to believe that Samsung made a last minute decision to put NFC on the battery instead of the back cover. I'm not saying that's true, but it's a possibility as Samsung has definitely deviated from that method in the past with the Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
Aha, further proof that NFC on the back cover is possible on the S4

http://wenfengsheng2012.en.made-in-...ry-Cover-NFC-Candy-Color-Fruit-Color-NFC.html

Those things matches exactly the placeholder on the back cover of the S4.

And this S$ case claim to have NFC on the backcover too

http://www.case-parts.com/details/S...ther-Cover-w-NFC-Antenna-Blue-SAMH-I9500-14G/

So TeknoGodz, please refrain from accusing others of spreading "false information from people [who] don't know what they're talking about" so rashly without doing some research yourself. Or at least be respectful in the discussion, that's all I ask.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
So that leads me to the next (probably OT, and I apologize) question -

if you get a non-OEM battery, is it possible it won't have the NFC in it? (Like, if I'm looking for a second battery, should I pay attention to whether it has NFC or not, or is it likely to have it?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
1) Your original information is still false. You proved nothing EXCEPT that they changed it up...... ON THE NOTE 2. Not the S4, the S4 uses the same NFC technology (*well not really, I'll explain that in a minute*) that they've been using since I believe the original S2 (maybe earlier, but the soonest one I can think of off the top of my head was the S2).

* It's the same technology as in it's in the battery, not elsewhere, however the S4 does use a BCM2079x NFC controller instead of the NXP PN544 controller. *

2) That S4 case that *claims* to have NFC in the back cover is just what you say. Claims. False claims at that. There is no pinout on the inside of the cover. The pictures prove that entirely. That is either one of two things: Either the person that wrote up that case's info had no clue what he was talking about, OR he just wanted more sales from people that are stupid and he thinks they will read NFC on that one and not on other ones and buy it there. Smart in a way. Stupid in another way.

3) Back to my original statement look at this picture of a inductive charging coil for a note 2, note that the connectors are the gold SQUARES. Ones that connect to the same type of connector to the top right of the battery in the S4. So, yes, the ones to the top RIGHT are for inductive charging. Maybe the ones on the left will work too, I don't know, but along with that and what I've read before (can't find the link right now :( ) leads me to believe 100% that the ones the OP connected to are not MADE for inductive charging. Maybe it works, but that's not what they're specifically made for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncc1701k:
You are correct. Unless it specifically says "NFC enabled" or OEM or something, you can assume that it won't have NFC. Especially for these cheapo ebay batteries, like below, definitely does not have NFC antennae

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZH61-NEW-2X..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item27d155c1c1

But this one does, so I would go for these

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2600mAh-OEM..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2a2ca5b600
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
Well when I'm wrong I'm wrong.

I did test out the resistance (took a LONG time to find my trusty voltmeter after just recently moving -_- ) and had the same results and after re-reading everything I am honestly kind of embarrassed I didn't pay more attention the first time around (especially to the OP). I made myself look like an ass and sorry for that. I was after all mainly basing my... lets call them theories... on what I've read. Seems what they say about assuming making an ass out of you is true :P

Gotta admit though, it's weird that some wireless charging accessories (like the picture of the note 2 one) are using large square block pins... confusing to say the least since they don't have any current and are used for NFC... Maybe the square pins aren't shaped like that to make contact with the square looking NFC pegs, but maybe just a cheaper way to ensure they make constant contact with the small pins through a square hole?

About the leaked image of the QI charger... Oh I am definitely confused now. The middle part is almost definitely the coil, it has to be unless they've changed up the way they make their coils for this phone in particular, so I'm guessing the edging around it is the NFC. Maybe the blacked part, but I don't know if that would have enough surface area for that type of antenna... maybe, but I don't think so.

Also, fun fact: Qi is a chinese word for the life force of living things.
