the .nomedia way worked for me. but the trick is cleaning data and cache of the media server/media storage (don't know the exact name at the moment) in settings->apps, and then restarting the phone.

after a restart, album will be empty and start rescanning your storage. when finished, you'll see that there won't be the .nomedia folders included anymore.

Well, since maybe we've reached a peak in XDA functionality.

I was wondering if somebody could make a simple PROGRAM that could set a TIMER for the XDA Camera, such that we can set the XDA and RUN before the picture can be taken, so that we can be taken as well.

hint: Maybe just increasing the DELAY between when the camera button is pressed and the time the camera "SHUTTER" closes to take a picture.

REGISTRY hack anyone?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
anker is being sent back until they can get their stuff right
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cresmonni:
Oh, Anker is too fat to fit?

I almost bought it.

Luckly, I didn't choose anker battery at last.

Why they are the best seller.

I think they should have done some remedy.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dannyben:
What's wrong with it? I bought the kit - 2 batteries with wall charger for $26 on amazon. Yes it's slightly thicker, but no problem with the fit & no bulge. My only beef is that the wall charger is only 600mA.

Id have sent back the oem fake. Bet you haven't tested nfc on that yet... It will fail.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
Didnt want to deal with china shipping, they gave me partial refund.

Anker went back today, yes the bulge was minimal, but i ordered a wireless insert that would not fit with the anker
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dannyben:
Saw the wireless options also... But that was an even bigger bulge & only charges @ a max of 600mA too. Will wait until they make a 1500+mA insert.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
i bought a cheep insert from ebay, the charge rate was not listed. and no the there will be no bulge.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dannyben:
How can there not be? The pad sits on top of the battery. Obviously adds thickness. The best insert I've seen only delivers 600mA (rated @ 1000 minus loss). That's just about 5 hours to charge the phone.... vs. The standard 1900mA cable which fully charged in about an hour and a half. Too big a difference for me. Very cool concept... But until they develop a 1500+mA insert it's more of a novelty than practicality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GuestK00345:
I'm really liking my 2600mah Onite. On my first full charge and discharge I was more than impressed. These also fit perfectly; there is no fitment issues as reported with the Ankers)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerz298:
Has anyone tried the EC Technology battery yet? They claim it is 2800 but doesn't require any extended back cover. There are no reviews for this yet on Amazon. The reviews are for all the other batteries they sell and are favorable. I had their battery for the EVO 3D and it worked great. Trying to decide which spare battery I want to pick up between the Anker, Onite, EC, or RAVPOWER.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 0-0-0:
I can confirm that Anker 2600 batteries don't work with NFC on the S4.

The company sent me a replacement pack (2 batts 1 charger) today, and NFC still doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dannyben:
NFC works fine for me with Anker 2600 on GS4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerz298:
They sent you a replacement today or you received a replacement today and it still didn't work? What are you trying to do with NFC that it didn't work? Are you sure you now have the latest version of the battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 0-0-0:
I received the replacement batteries today, they were despatched, maybe 2 days ago.

No, they still don't detect my NFC tags, i.e. they don't beep or perform any actions.

I'm trying launch TomTom SAT/NAV, then launch a "Tasker" task (GPS, Bluetooth set to ON, Brighness and Sound up to full).

The tasks work fine with the Samsung battery, plus I've tried simple tasks like altering the brightness to full.

I believe I've the latest version of the battery. Well they've come from a Anker/Amazon warehouse.

I'm in the UK, so whether or not it's still old stock in their UK depot, I don't know.

The only visible differences between my original batteries and the new batteries, is the placement of the serial numbers, but I suppose that doesn't mean anything.

I've emailed them back today, but so far they haven't replied back.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rkaede:
you sure about the thickness?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
the one i have has no bulge. When i put my insert in there it bulges a little.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AlpineMan:
There are quite a bit of fake Galaxy S4 batteries being sold in ebay.

Genuine:

1) All Samsung Galaxy S4 batteries come with a unique serial number.

2) All Samsung Galaxy S4 batteries have built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) antennas built into the battery.

The fake ones being sold in ebay have common serial numbers or no serial numbers at all. Although the sticker on the battery indicates "Near Field Communication", it actually doesn't have NFC. Therefore, the phone's NFC feature/function will not work when used with a fake battery.

One other observation is that fake batteries have a manufacture date displayed just below the serial number of the battery. I have not seen a genuine Samsung GS4 battery that has a date yet.

Just thought I'd share this tip.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ghost0211:
Good post.

I found that my supposed 3000mah zero lemon is no better than stock in every way its just as good as stock under my daily abuse however its fatter and for what; you lose NFC, it's heavier and bulges a bit in the case. oEM is the only way to go if you're looking for an additional battery. The zero lemon battery for my s3 out performed it's OEM but sadly the same cannot be said for the s4
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerz298:
I have been using the Anker for about a month now and it fits just like stock and holds a charge just as well. I don't really use NFC though so I didn't have a chance to test that but I have read from other reviews it is functional.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IamPro:
Yea NFC works fine, in about a week and can't tell difference bwtn stock and Anker. When I drain the battery I just swap for fresh and put old in charger which works out good imo.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
WOW, this one outlasted my OEM battery in my test. Before anyone saids its a old battery. it only has 5 charging cycles on it and is essentially new.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
anyone else have experiences with these?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerz298:
I have been using the Anker for several months and have had no issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ImNotTheDroidUrLooking4:
I have the Ankers and I cant see this bulge people are talking about.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerz298:
I notice it. It is very very slight. I might not have even noticed it had I not known about the issue. They may have modified the design since I bought mine though. I don't know if the latest Amazon reviews still claim there is a bulge. The only situation I can see this being a problem is if you are trying to stick a Qi charging plate in there. I don't know how thick that is but I have a thin metal plate from my magnetic car mount in the back of the case with the Anker and while the back of the case is a little harder to snap shut it does without issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
mine snapped shut as well. But it sat uneven and was wobbly when flat. i had a QI charger that made it more noticeable, where with OEM is wasnt

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fevves:
I have an RavPower 2800 one for a week or so, completed 5 full recharges and it does perform well. With my usage, my original Samsung battery barely lasted throughout the day, this one is like 10% more, at least so it seams. Pity I can't find it on Amazon anymore as I would gladly buy another one for teh spare.

Oh and btw it coop quite nice with my wireless charging module, no bulk here (cut out the batt.cover for thickness reduction and with SlimArmor on it, without the module the uncut bat. cover fits great without any bulk added).

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] andreskafe:

[S4 - i9500]
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fevves:
I wrote that I bought it on Amazon but now the description for S4 changed to 2600 mAh one... that's why I also wrote I can't grab another one. If not, I would post a link in a hitch.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gravitywell:
So, with the Rav 2800mAh vanishing, what is the recommended replacement battery? My s4 is about a year old, and the battery isn't doing all that well. It dies in a matter of 4-5 hours of misc off and on general usage. I like the idea of a bigger battery, but I don't want to be lugging around a brick all day.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cognitivedissonance:
I think I'm gonna go with the Anker ones. Probably the two pack with the charger. I see pretty high reviews from most and the ones who post negative reviews often are then edited to say Anker contacted them immediately, replaced the part causing a problem and the new part was great. One other thing I noticed was that there are a couple reviews for the Anker noting that NFC actually does work.

I think I saw one review on the RavPower that said it didn't have NFC capabilities and didn't list NFC anywhere on the packaging. That's kinda strange since the new listing specifically says it has NFC. As for Onite, the reviews just don't seem to be as strong as Anker, and I don't see many reviews that say anything about Onite standing up to product defects (though some of the amazon 3rd party sellers did, apparently). I myself have tried the Onite 2 battery 1 charger package and the charger failed after about 15 to 20 charges - the batteries themselves seem fine though.

S4 - i9500
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jhom52:
I've been using the Anker batteries with NFC for several months. They fit fine in the stock S4. In fact, I have a wireless charging receiver in it with the stock cover. The NFC works well. The charge is good. I swap them out on a weekly bases. Both Anker batteries eventually swelled up but at different times. Anker customer service and warranty are excellent. Both batteries were promptly replaced without any difficulty. The replacements are working well. I would highly recommend the Anker batteries especially since their warranty and CS are excellent. I would buy another set without reservations.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cognitivedissonance:
Have you read the comments in this thread or searched at all??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
To those who are using anker, how is their wall charger? My zerolemon one takes about 5 hrs+ to fully charge their stock sized battery at first. Then it started to charge more and more slowly. Now it takes 12 hrs to charge. Lol.

How long does it take for anker's charger, and does it deteriorate?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zeetroman:
I can recommend the Polarcell batterie. It's 2900mAh with working NFC.

It also does not need an extra back cover. I think It's the best replacement

you can get. Bought one from amazon, a german seller.

Life is better than the original Samsung plus all working good.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fevves:
Can you measure the weight with a digital scale and also thickness with a caliper and post the pics? I'm interested in buying one as a spare, but hesitant as I have a QI pad applied on the back of my S4 where my actual RAVPower battery does not have any increase in thickness re original battery.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
To be honest, most of the aftermarket batteries are fine. The only concern is having a good external battery charger that works. All I want is for it to charge my batteries in about 5 hours or so.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zeetroman:
Cannot post links as I am new here. I tried :cyclops:

But, Original is 44g. Polarcell is 48g.

The polarcell is a bit thicker than the original. The original back must be pressed a bit to clip but it fits and is stable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fevves:
I know various sites port the data as:

Capacity:	2900 mAh

Tension:	3,8 V

Weight:	46 gr

Measures:	63 x 57 x 5 mm

Zerolemon ones seem to be 0.5mm thicker then original and does not cut in for me 'cause of the bulge it would create.

Only real life measurement can yield a proper result, hence I asked if you can do some snaps and post them, seen you already have it. If you have to press the battery back to fit it in, then It won't cut in for me, seen I'm using QI pad too.

If RavPower only continued making their 2800 mAh batteries...

Thanks for the effort.

Hey guys.

How do you recognize fake "OEM" battery on Ebay?

How to know wich battery on Ebay is fake before you order it? Most "Genuine" batteries are from UK, so it looks pretty attractively.

And NFC on fake don't work right?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
I'd say a good gauge would be the price. If it's like 10usd or smth, it should be fake. Fake as in not original samsung battery. They can call it OEM or whatever. Still a fake. [emoji16]

I just wanted to share my experience with a Caseology battery.

I bought the set with 2x batteries and a wall charger from Amazon last year. About 6-7 months later, both batteries started to give my phone network problems (disconnecting me from wifi and cellular). They would also keep rebooting my phone when it got below <40% capacity. I sent both in for a replacement and I had to pay return shipping. It's been a few months now and both seem to be holding up again.

If they start showing signs again, I will be buying from a different company.
