Hi

Probably most of you guys and girls heard about the set of external lenses for mobile (Fisheye, Telephoto and Wide Angle/Macro).

Couple weeks ago I've received my own set which is basically a clone of those from Photojojo.

The experience of them is pretty nice, however I didn't like the look of this ring shaped piece of metal, which has to be placed over protective glass of actual sensor.

I figured out that the unique way of how EVOs protective lenses are built, gives me opportunity to apply some modifications.

I won't present you the whole walkthrough, and disassebly cause it can be easily found over Google.

I will be pleased if you like the idea, so here are some photos which will briefly explain the whole process:

So, after dissasemble I cut out a hole big enough to place a magnet inside (using magnet is very important, those metal pads which come with lenses won't hold them on).

Then, I've placed the magnet in, and secured it with a bit of super glue.

The next step was of course placing back protective glass and this little sponge (from the inside).

The cool part of this mod (besides that the phone looks externally untouched) is that thanks to the magnet, lenses slips right into their place, which was unlike, while using non-magnet iron rings.
[HTC EVO 3D] spica123:
Very cool, I like the idea with the magnet!
[HTC EVO 3D] B3!CrAZy:
Wow :D Share some photos taken with that.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:

Sorry Guys, I didn't have much time to do some comparing photos.

[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Hell yeah! Love the photo shots. Maybe I can do this with the SG4.

I don't know if this mentioned yet, but you might be aware that you can't move apps to your ext. SD Card to free up space on your phone.

For some reasons Apps2SD doesn't seem to work on Samsung phones.

After doing a bit of browsing/research I came across an app called "FolderMount."

[Requires Root]

This works by mounting folders in your ext. SDcard to your internal SD Card, fooling your device into thinking your external storage is part of your internal storage.

Here is a quote by the developer:

Here is the link to the original developers thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39178981#post39178981

Please remember to go to the thread and thank the developer for this amazing app!

FolderMount is also available on the Play Store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lessthanzach:
Seriously. Buy this app. Ben using it since my s3 and it works prefect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
Agree. Worth every penny. I just bought a 64gb MicroSD today, so I'm happy I'm able to make use of it lol :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gheck911:
My money......you will take it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sabre31:
I bought it from play store. I agree this is a great app. I would love to be able to do one mount. For example mount all of android folder to external instead of sub folders and when installing new apps it automatically writes to SD card. Another option would be great is to have your external SD card act as internal and swap them around.

This app is well worth the cost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lessthanzach:
You can mount all of the obb folder which contains most games very large files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] SysAdmNj:
But isnt this free or what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] SysAdmNj:
Btw look at this message I got, anyone see this before? Should I let it fix it?

View attachment 1946439
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
It's free but it only lets you sync three sub folders. so basically 3 games

Let it fix. In his main thread, he states that in order for it to work with the S4, you have to do that. Don't worry, It won't ruin your device :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ogxku5h:
maybe im an idiot or something but this app still confuses me... which folder should we move to the SD card? i look at folders to see whats in them and everything is blank, but with root explorer theres a ton of crap in different folders. Tutorial anyone?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sabre31:
Thanks I try doing that and it won't let me. Keeps saying you need to mount sub folders and can't mount oob
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] poofyhairguy:
Me too. Too bad that seems like the best solution as you don't have to offload every large app and it would move new ones automatically. I wonder what the danger is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
Let's use Modern Combat 4 as an example for this:

Once you download Modern Combat, it stores all of its data on your internal SDcard in the following location:

/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM

This folder is somewhere around 2GB i believe, or something like that.

The goal FolderMount is to move the above folder to your external MicroSD, but at the same time, fool your phone into thinking that the folder data is still in the internal drive.

To do this, do the following;

Download and install FolderMouint and give it root permissions.

Start the applications and click at on the "+".

For Name, Put in Modern Combat 4

For Source, chose Android -> obb -> com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM and press the checkmark button at the top.

You will get a message saying the following

"Would you like me to create the destination folder automatically?..blah blah blah"

Just choose yes.

Now press the Check mark button at the top again. It will start to move all the files to your external MicroSD card.

Once that has been completed, in the main FolderMount screen, you will see a little pin beside "Modern Combay 4". Press that and it will mount your folders together and it should work!

Sorry, I kind of rushed through this. Let me know if you need more help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ogxku5h:
Thank u!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
np buddy :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] switters1:
This is fantastic. Foldermount just saved me the trouble and cost of exchanging to get 32gb.

Any idea if Google music can be stored on external SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
Where is Google Music usually stored? If its in a folder on your SD Card, you should be able to use FolderMount with it, without any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nyeazyone:
Alternative

According to every forum I found when I googled this question, its located at "Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music/", however, the folder comes out empty when I find this location. So FolderMount might not help us with this. An alternative to FolderMount for Google Music is an app called Google Play Music+. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2140756

It lets you choose the folder which the music is downloaded to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mike216:
I always buy and move to power amp.

It's in

Data/data. Look for com. Google play music.... Something close to that. Once you find it look in there and look for a files folder. You'll see mp3's in there

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

That android /obb folder must be for the octa core G4? I'm rooted but there's no game data there. I looked in the android /data and see some there but not able to get the app to read the files to move. The to mount re, rw.

Has anyone figured this out on the U.S branded G4? Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 4 Door Skyline:
Does anyone know if NFC and Wireless charging work together? Like if I were to put the qi system in and use one of these little NFC tags, will they work together?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Robogar:
That's a great question. If there is anyone with a QI charger and an NFC Tag that can test this and give us a definitive result, that would be fantastic!

I just read up a bit on the Nokia wireless charger (model DT-910) and it actually has a feature that launches an app via NFC, when you place it on the wireless charging stand. I'm not sure if they just basically built an NFC Tag into the charger but if so, that would prove that wireless charging and NFC are able to work together.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LAYGO:
Unrelated, but I couldn't get my S4 to NFC with my Nexus . . . yes both had the NFC batteries in!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] soyelmango:
I asked the seller of this kit on eBay - he says they're unlikely to work together. Still, that's inconclusive either way until someone actually tests it and reports back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dragonsla:
I have samsung charger and samsung back and I can confirm that the NFC sticker on the pad is NOT working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
Hmm - I'm using the Nokia charger (DT-900) with the Samsung back, and it charges fine. The phone's NFC is working (I can use NFC tags). The charger doesn't have a NFC sticker on it, so can't confirm whether wireless charging *and* NFC work at the same time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dragonsla:
Oh yeah nfc still works with the Samsung back... just won't read the sticker on the charger
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FoferX:
(Apologies for the bump, but I came across this thread, and had to issue a correction.)

The charger doesn't *have* an NFC sticker.

And NFC Task Launcher has been renamed to Trigger. One of the reasons, I'd bet, is because it can now be triggered by things other than NFC. For example, one of the triggers it has now is "charging" and you can specifically set an action to be triggered when wireless charging. So, really, the wireless charger doesn't NEED an NFC sticker!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] itm:
I've got a Qi charger and have tried 2 different wireless charging receivers with my S4. When the first receiver was installed the phone would very rarely read an NFC tag. I then purchased another receiver which claimed to be NFC compatible. That one seems to cause very few problems reading tags.

The problem now is when the NFC tag is stuck to the Qi charger pad: under those circumstances the phone usually won't read the NFC tag unless I move it around a bit, and even then it doesn't always work.

This was the 2nd (NFC compatible) receiver that I bought:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151128038769?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The original receiver was a gift, so I don't have a link for it. It has a white design, with no brand name on the label.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gottech:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item565ce2d0d6

Try this one, I bought it and it works great. The second set of contacts are for NFC. Switched from one that was NFC compatible but you had to fight with it. This one is a major improvement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LEENO:
I have galaxy s6 and Samsung original car mount

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-HN910IBUSTA

Nfc tag placed on this charger can't be read from s6.

If i place tag out of wireless charger, tag is good readed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] danilofreitas:
I have tried the same using S8 and it doesn't work simultaneously, QI charger and NFC, I put an NFC stick on the QI charger pad and it simply can't read the NFC, when I disconnect the USB cable from the charging station it reads the NFC.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Stock, rooted, leaving he phone charging overnight.

Next morning (every morning) I notice the backlight is slightly glowing -- looks like the back light is on and the screen set to black. Not the LED alert signal, that's sometimes flashing sometimes not (depending on whether I have a message), but there's a soft glow. If you had any room light on you cannot see it.

This morning I used the on/off button to turn the screen on, then off -- glow vanished. So it's not always there, and not related to (just) having the USB cable plugged in (which it still was).

The phone does charge, it is not hot, there is nothing that I can see unusual in Better Battery Stats. Normal battery life (well, seems reasonable, better than my GS2, about 50% for my average day).

Can someone take a look after a normal charge in a completely dark room -- is your backlight on? Again -- LCD solid black, just a dark grey glow through it.

PS. I will check tonight -- I am not sure if it starts on or not, I only have noticed it now on several mornings in a row, and forget to look as it starts charging.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ktbee:
Weird. I never seen that happened to me. Mine is completely stock and rooted with Rogers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Now I'm really confused. I was curious and woke up a few times to look.

First, on hooking it up - no glow.

Then only one of three times was there a glow, but it was there - same symptom, you bring up the screen with the power button, then put it back to sleep - gone.

I think it must be some app. It may relate to the calendar notifications, last night one went off in the middle of the night which is why I checked it.

I'll try to see if I can pin it down; it's more curiosity than anything else. The phone charges fine, and it's not bright enough to bother, and I suspect the backlight could run 24x7 and not burn out before I have 5 new phones. Just weird.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nergrum:
I gave my TF101 to my wife before Christmas, and I got a Nexus 7.

At the time I had a somewhat stable TeamEOS3 build, with Kat kernel. She has asked me to update it to help with some of the battery/hard reset issues and I honestly have no idea what to put on there.

I was curious if TeamEOS4 was the way to go? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063406

Open to any ROM suggestions, however, dont want to limit it to just opinions on TeamEOS.

Does the included kernel suffice, or is there a good kernel to combine with TeamEOS4?

She isn't looking for the latest/greatest but something that will let he browse a lot of pages/tabs in Chrome, be stable, and good battery life.

Any guidance from you all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiwas:
I'd like to see a reply to this as well :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
I haven't tried that many ROMs except stock and TeamEOS' 4.1+ releases, however here's what I noticed through time:

- KAT kernel is the way to go

- KAT app makes the audio bugs manageable

- Battery life is pretty good (better than stock)

- SOD only when not plugged in (I noticed this last week - no SOD ever while plugged into power)

However, it appears that timduru isn't active anymore, or hasn't been in the past month, and he was the main developer for 4.x for this device. I don't see anything new on his page. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So, it's been over 6 months since the Nexus 4 was released. How is yours holding up?

I must say that I am still loving mine (although I have recently ordered an Oppo Find 5 ) and it still looks brand new! No scratches or cracks and I use no screen protector or case, other than the OEM bumper. It is in my pocket on my carpenters jeans all day. I have dropped it a few times and still no damage. I have unlocked and rooted and have been running Paranoid for the last couple of months. Awesome ROM!
[Nexus 4 General] dsp4:
Same here. No protector or bumper and it's nearly scratch-free. There's a single tiny micro-scratch I noticed, visible at a certain angle under the right lighting.

It survived a 6 feet drop on concrete. Still no root or custom ROM, but I'll do it eventually.

What's an Oppo Take 5?

My Nexus 4 is still holding up well. I got it from a guy who ordered it from Google, cause they were all sold out, around January.

I have scratching on the greyish bezel near the volume rocker, but everything else is great. Been using chameleon launcher because I got bored of the vanilla android.

Anyone else 100% satisfied? The battery life is possibly my biggest gripe. Lasts a full day, but not any longer.

I bought mine on launch day, and received it a week later. Overall, I've very happy with the device. The battery life is good enough, and it does what I need it to do very well. I do, however, have quite a few scratches on the front and back. The biggest scratch on the front happened within the first 3 weeks, and is probably an inch an a half long. Other than that, I'm fairly happy with the screen's ability to deter scratches. Although, the oleophobic coating seemed to nearly disappear in about 3 months.
