Goal: Find a mount which would support a larger phone or smaller Android based tablet to enjoy Torque1. This mount needs to firmly grip the device and not allow it to vibrate a tremendous amount. It would also be nice if it didn't look horrible and was easy to mount the phone properly/quickly.

Solution: EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S

This mount retails for $49.95, and I believe it was worth every penny. It is hard to sharp shoot its faults when it does such a good job of fulfilling my goal.

Its flexibility guarantees that I will be able to use it in the future with other devices. I shouldn't outgrow this product quickly.

Now enjoy my crummy video and pictures. Tested it with the Note 2, Galaxy S, and HTC One so far...

On the Galaxy S4, it would be easy to charge and access the power button. Not so much for the headphone jack. Bluetooth is the key for audio if using this mount.

The charge port is not in the center of the HTC One. It would have to be offset in order for the charger to be plugged in. You also can't plugin a 3.5mm headphone jack. Again, use bluetooth if possible. You wouldn't want the device to go into sleep as it would be hard to press the power button.

Manufacturer's Website:

Hey your vid just links over to the Trident case review. I did watch the exogear mount video..looks like a possibility for me. On your 2nd video of this..could you get the installation of it as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chrisngrod:
Thanks for pointing that out! <fixed>

I'll try to mention it, but it is already installed. I did have to go back and use that silver pad with 3M on the backside today. It was really hot and the adhesive on the suction cup wasn't enough to keep it mounted.

NOTE: It is meant to be used with the 3M disk so this is not a design flaw. Also, I should have used an alcohol pad to clean the dash and remove any traces of Armor All.

There is already a thread about this but It's in the general forum. I noticed that only a select few people know about this. And this **** needs to explode!

All Credits go to Loopy. So be a sweetheart and like his awesome **** (on his profile, not mine).

1. Unlock bootloader via test point

2. Flash R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf

3. Flash one of these kernel ftf files:

LuPuS STOCK GB/ICS 480 v1 Download

LuPuS JellyBean 720 v8 Download

LuPuS JellyBean 480 v8 Download

LuPuS STOCk GB 480 v8 Download thanks to eddiepbaue

DooMKernel v14Download

R800a/at/i Turbo Kernel 3.1 Download

R800x Turbo Kernel 3.1 Download

4. Flash a compatible rom for your kernel

More kernels provided by denisfgn:

This unlocks your bootloader and makes it possible to flash FTF kernels trough flashtool, however fastboot is still impossible. Now I need you awesome developers to convert more kernel files to ftf files. Who is up for it? Here is a really rough guide of Loopy of how to convert kernels to a ftf file.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39544867&postcount=9

And here is his detailed guide of how to unlock your bootloader.

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187172

Please be sure to like his post! The main purpose of this thread is to give it more exposure since a lot of people can't unlock their bootloaders and this awesome guy paved a way for us. Also for help to convert more kernels to FTF. Please be sure to like his post if he helped you. That's it! Now you can finally unlock your bootloader and die happy.

[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i know this is free,but you can unlock your bootloader this days for 7.99 and super easy..only takes you 5 mnts and its done..no need for that much trouble converting boot.img in .ftf files...specially now that we all know developers are working on new kernel 3xx and 4.2.2 kernel and roms,and also updating kernels..so you always get limited with Loopys method.

[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
Misleading title. Everyone CAN NOT unlock their BL. GSM only isn't everyone. Other than that, I dunno why Loopy didn't post it here in the first place.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kevinkdc:
That's because I've noticed the "Gsm part" late. But it's okay. No one died.

​
[Xperia Play Android Development] CZroe:
The OP has more issues than that. For example, it is purports to be a method of unlocking your bootloader and the the very first "step" is simply "1. Unlock bootloader via test point" :D

Yes, I know that the list is telling you the overall process of how to get the kernel you want without fastboot but it's saying that before ever stating that you don't get fastboot.

I'm sure there are many revisions to come. :)

Thanks for the info! I have an R800x and an R800at. I'm tempted to pay to get both unlocked with fastboot if I can find the service for cheap, but this sounds like a good option too. Will it retain my DRM keys? It will still be carrier locked, right?

use this method since the beginning of the post by loop ... works 100% perfectly... At the moment I am with Xperia Z by mark's and already went through various kernels and all work well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kevinkdc:
I did start from the beginning. I even wiped my sd card. Whatever I do, I still can't connect to the wifi. I can scan for wifi service but I can't connect with them. It says "out of range". Does doomkernel work on your play? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The day i got my Galaxy S4 i went straight to charge the device. I left it on my nightstand which is under a window and when i saw the reflection of my blinds through the screen, they where bent out of shape and the reflection looked distorted. Looking closer, the screen seems to have a circular dip in the middle left-ish area. All the devices I tested this do not have a distort. (iphone 5 and 4S, the SIII)

I'd like for everyone to look at there device and make sure they don't have this also. I cant check the devices over at carrier stores, abit busy sadly...

I've given a Sample of lines that u can use as a test and also left a quick video, ill try to make a better one but its all i could at this moment. Also its extremely hard to get it on a video vs what u see in person =/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ej5VCPnKls

Best way's too test are as follows.

1) place your phone right in front of you on your computer desk and look at your Monitors reflection. It works extremely well when you look at Lines or a lot of text.

2) Look at a bunch of stuff that's well lit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shoulon:
yeah the screen works and looks fine. But im just worried still. ill be visiting Bestbuy and a sprint store Tuesday see if its a universal thing. If it isnt, could save some people in there 14day return time-span. Especially after seeing this thread you never know.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271880

better safe then sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] decadentray:
Man, I have exactly the same problem and the easiest way for me to see it is to have a reflection of a fluorescent tube on the black screen. It's ugly! This doesn't seem to be a universal thing, though, because this is the first post I have come across since I found out about the distortion problem. Did you find out anything at Bestbuy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shoulon:
I got them to open up two new boxes and it seems like every device has it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] adrianjr84:
Wow. I cant believe what I saw after inspecting my phone. Nothing! Absolutely nothing! I love this phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RealTic:
My first galaxy s4 had dead pixels, my second galaxy s4 had scuffing all over it, a large scratch on the MICRO sd card port, overheated and would constantly shut off, followed by the display that completely died a day later. Sprint advised me to give the HTC one a shot. As soon as I got the HTC one home, noticed paint run off, gaps between panels, dings, dents, pretty much the poorest quality control standards I have ever seen. Now I have to find away to get sprint to allow a FOURTH return on a 600.00 device. I may have to get mean, I dont like to act that way, but what sprint has put me through to obtain a working 600.00 high end device is not acceptable, I would not wish the experience I am going through on my worse enemy.

Im not picky, and I understand mistakes when they happen. But two damaged/defective S4's, and one damaged/defective HTC one in matter of 7 days? I really cant even believe it.

All I buy is Samsung products when it comes to electronics, never in my life have I EVER received two defective units in a row. I feel like a crazy crack addict every time I go back to the sprint store and request a replacement. If sprint didn't have a 14 day satisfaction guarantee, I would be out 600.00, because there is no way in a million years samsung or HTC would take responsibility for scuffing or damage to the body of the device. Even with sprints 14 day satisfaction guarantee, you are only allowed 1 device exchange. So basically, im entitled to nothing with this issue, and any day sprint is going to show me the door or refer me to Asurion for a 3 day old 600 dollar phone.

Clear the cache on the app through the application manager and try it again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Sounds like you would have to try a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lost2030:
I'm assuming you also power cycled the phone...so you might have to do a factory reset if it still doesn't work.

Titanium backup requires root so maybe you lost your root after the OTA update and that's why it's not working properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] christianstudebaker:
Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a rom out there for the Verizon galaxy s3 that enables fm radio support? Or if the phone even has fm radio capabilities.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Is there a reason for FM radio? Since there are apps like Tunein Radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
US gs3 doesn't support fm radio. Only the international version does
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] christianstudebaker:
I want the fm radio for when i'm working, since using the fm radio doesnt take up data and only uses the battery life it is very ideal for me when working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vegasden:
In checking data use using the iHeart app, it's pretty minimal. Far less than, say, streaming videos, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
That's the one thing I do miss about my international phone is the fm radio. Yes there is the iheart app, but if your station isn't on there you're sol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vegasden:
If not on iheart, you can check TuneIn or Radio.com apps...that'll pretty much cover the majority of broadcast stations. Plus some stations have their own apps.

I just had the worst moment with my gs4 so far. Dropped it from pocket hieght with a cade on and the screen shattered. Obiously gorrila glass is horible if it broke with one fall in a case, my lg thrill had at least 20 drops from above my head and survived each one.

Ebay or Amazon. You'll start to see replacement screens there first. But i don't know of anything available yet...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rusreid:
Gorilla Glass is not break resistant. This is directly from Corning...the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass. I've seen phones dropped lots of times, some being my own. It all depends on how it lands. They're more likely to break from a face flat drop than from an edge hit drop. Just my experiences though.

"According to Corning, with its new Native Damage Resistance, Gorilla Glass 3 has been developed to provide improved durability to withstand deep scratches and cracks in the glass. As a result, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance provides enhanced scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and better retained strength once a scratch occurs."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hotdog32836:
I heard the lcd and digitizer might be glued together and if thats true i would have to replace both of them. Thats messed up samsung, this phone is not strong at all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] porkaysi:
i would not say it is weak, every drop test i have seen the phone only cracks from high drop on the corner or face down drops. that being said until a super strong glass tech comes you should get an insurance plan or a case.

i hope someone file a class lawsuit against corning!

it said "Gorilla Glass 3 offers improved scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and improved retained strength"

i also cracked my s4 screen from like 15 inches high to the sink, it cracked on the first drop!

i dropped my Note1, Note2 multi times and nothing happen!

if you dont have insurance on the phone, try to claim it on your credit card!

i just checked my Citibank, Discover, and American Express, they protected the product against theft and damage for the first 90 days!

where is the "improved retained strength"?

sounds like an iphone 4 design flaw all over again. I guess this is my only phone that ill need a heavy case on because it is so prone to shattering. Anyone know who to contact or where to go to ask Samsung for a repair?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TBayTom:
Bad news for ya, almost all smartphones these days have the "iphone 4 design flaw" where when you drop it the wrong way without decent protection, it will break. If you are prone to dropping phones then insurance is the best answer for you. I always get a screen protector with a good case in order to skip the insurance and have my phone looking brand new for resell each year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bhp090808:
You dont need to replace both. It is possible to just replace the front glass. I do at least 3 s3's a week. Just takes alot of patience. Heck of a lot cheaper
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dew.man:
Before you go bashing them, you should go read up on the product.

The retained strength has to do with micro-scratches and nothing to do with dropping the phone...

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cdaniel76:
So I've seen the kernels that will allow you to make the HTC logo act as a capacitive menu button. Has anyone looked into completely remapping all the buttons?

I'd like to see the HTC logo be the home button and the current home button turned into the menu button.

Would that be possible? Inquiring minds want to know.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elrey75:
I still haven't switched to Nova Launcher, I'm happy with sense atm, but when it auto downloaded on initial setup, the HTC logo brought up the home selector.. Seems like nova will let you customize use.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cdaniel76:
I'm running Nova. I don't recall seeing that during the set up. There are a lot of settings to change the CURRENT Home button into whatever you'd like it to be but nothing on mapping the "HTC Button".
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
I think that would definitely be possible. I'd suggest posting in the kernel thread to see if this is something the dev would look into
