[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
A lot of the information out there for how to care for batteries is old or just plain wrong. It is hard to figure out what to listen to, but I was researching exactly what I should do to care for my battery last week and the conclusion I came to was:

It is good to run the battery down to 0 about once a month.

The battery will last longer if the temperature is kept lower, both for daily use and for the potential lifespan of the battery.

Batteries have a certain number of charge cycles, and one full discharge and recharge is one full cycle.

You are prevented from reaching dead 0 on a battery as a safety measure.

You are prevented from overcharging the batter as a safety measure.

If you wont use your phone for a long period of time, don't store it with no battery or a full battery.

The best way to treat your battery is use it, and charge it whenever you need to.

Hope some of that helps.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaconTrousers:
I've taken a lot of pictures while on holiday, and although their geotagged location is shown and placed on Google maps I would like to be able to share these maps with an option to find these locations via GPS.

To reiterate: I can share the maps with the pictures but there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting directions to them.

Can anyone suggest an app or a way of doing this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You're going to have to go into more detail because I dont understand the issue.

disclaimer - I am on a custom rom...

But if I open a photo in gallery, and do a "view on map", It loads in google maps app. If I then click into the location, I can share it (as a link).

This link opens in google maps app or opens google maps on any computer browser and "get directions" can be used.

If this isn't what you're talking about, please be more explicit about what you are asking and how you want to do things, because I dont understand

Also, please pst questions in the Q&A section
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaconTrousers:
I've taken pictures on holiday and geotagged them with the GPS.

I have uploaded them to Picasa which has placed them on Google maps at the geotagged locations.

I can share the folder with friends, and they can view my map with my pictures shown at the locations.

However.

Although they can see the geotagged locations of each picture on the map, they cannot get directions to them.

Oh and as this is not a ROM issues I believe this belongs in here under 'General Chat' ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All questions in relation to the S3 go in Q&A. General is not for questions.

Although, your question has nothing to do with the S3 or even android at all. Your question is a picasa question ;)

But you're right, Picasa provides no way of doing this. I was frustrated earlier this month when I geotagged some photos I took with my SLR and uploaded them to picasa.

Once in Picasa, the best option I can suggest is click the "Full details" link which gives you the longitude and latitude, which if you paste into google maps, becomes something you can get directions to.... Its not very good. A glaring omission I'd say.

If you had a Google+ account, your picasa albums would convert into that instead and when you share from Google+, the point on the map is clickable and opens in google maps, with "Get Directions"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny:
No it doesn't, I've explained this to you both via a report closing message and a PM, I don't think it needs discussing further frankly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaconTrousers:
Sorry I've only just seen your report and thank you for moving it into the correct area :good:

So a few Months down the line is there any new/updated apps/services that can give you directions to Geotagged photos?

Basically I do a lot of exploring, and would love to be able to convert geotag information to directions that I can share with other people ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nothing since Google+ as in my last post.

So I just got my i9505 yesterday, and I noticed there are some faint vertical and horizontal "streaks" on the screen that are most apparent when displaying grey. It's pretty subtle, but it's definitely there. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what it is or if it's normal?

S4 screen issues

Hey! This kind of issue has been happening to lots of S4 users. Including me. I got my i9505 three days ago and as soon as I started using it I realized that wasn't normal, for I have already had plenty of Samsung smartphones such as S3, S2, Note II, I. I have researched and tried to understand what the hell is going on but some people say it is a software problem. Others say Sammy could be using "a cheaper display". Although in this case we're talking about full hd displays.

Hope I have helped.

Bye.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I have this issue too.

the vertical ones aren't very noticeable but I have 2 very obvious horizontal streaks through my screen about 3mm thick, splitting the screen into thirds quite perfectly.

I have replaced one handset already for this reason and my replacement is the same, just less obvious, so I decided to put up with it.

Here's an example of my screen on grey background.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatmag:
mine had one streak horizontal streak slightly above half way. but also this seem to make the top half of the screen slightly blue. The top of the phone had different colors to the bottom. its very noticable.

Same thing on mine. Coming from a note 2. And remember the issue on the nexus. Unless I focus hard enough only on some apps I can see. If it gets worse overtime later down the road I'll warranty. But it's not bad enough. My eyes mainly see it on gray screens.

I've been using mine for about six months and it works great, and it comes with the y-plug if you specify that you have an xda2!

As for car mounts, i got mine from proporta and it mounts onto the vent, i'm quite happy with it but i'm sure there are better ones about.
