[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Your battery will automatically cycle between 95%-99.9999% to prevent overcharge, so you're fine on this front. You probably just caught it on the low end of the cycle.

The issue with charging + tethering is that a phone draws more power when plugged in (ramping up processor, etc.), and tethering eats a lot of power. More importantly, both charging the battery and running the antennas for tethering generate a lot of heat. So long as you watch your battery temp (most good tethering apps will toss in a temperature gauge, although if you're using stock you'll need another solution), you should be fine, but heat is one of the fastest ways to kill a Li-ion battery.

Although a full normal discharge (phone powering off) won't kill your battery in one go, it's a deeper discharge than I would recommend on a regular basis. Things are built with margins of safety, but I don't like playing on the edge when I can avoid it. The difference between 10%-15% isn't too much either when it comes to my use-case either, so I'm content to bounce between 20/30-95 most of the time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
That is certainly a good point as well. No need to play on the edge of the cliffs. lol

You see my point tho :)

Hi, I was just wondering.Some review sites say that the Mini's lockscreen has the same water ripple effect as the original S3, but I can seem to find where to enable it? All I have is the animation for unlock that looks a bit like from the Tab's swipe lock screen, Honeycomb like animation effect.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SeanPlunk:
Can you root the One without installing a custom recovery? I want to root my buddies phone, but I don't want to put a custom recovery on because I want him to be able to take OTA updates. I know this is possible on some Samsung phones, but I'm not sure it can be done on HTC phones?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
You can s-off and after it gets root and you have s-off, (after you run revone -s 0) then:

adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su

Then you just simply install the SuperUser app from the playstore.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Root simply means that you have access to superuser privileges, aka, power to change anything in the "root".

It had nothing to do with custom recovery, although it is common to see both together.

This is also possible on practically any phone, it's not brand-specific.

Note that there are easier ways for people to take OTAs though. As it can fail even if you still have stock recovery installed.

Someone usually posts the stock rooted update within a day or two of its release, and that's the easiest way of updating IMO. Taking the OTA while rooted will either fail, flash and remove root, or just flash normally.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] toomuchespresso:
Wouldn't we have to download the SU.apk before pushing to the phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
That was implied...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] toomuchespresso:
Thanks. I just want to clarify because I'm tired this morning, su is the same as SuperUser or SuperSU? Or is it a different apk?

EDIT: Nevermind. Forgot it's the binary.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] leo.sutton:
Could anyone be more specific as to the steps necessary? Sorry, I am a bit of a noob. I already have S-OFF with revone.

They'll probably come out with the Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced-Google edition 2 months after the release of the standard LTE-A. Then everyone who bought the first one can cry about that. Then 2 months later will come out the Samsung Galaxy S4-Super Duper edition. It will read your mind and give hand jobs under the table.

THATS the one Im holding out for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
That's cause the iPhone never gets better lol.

And seriously you're only complaining about the way sales and marketing work. I had a developers preview of windows 8 before windows 7 even hit retail. That's the way things are with almost everything. Especially with electronics, the second you buy something there will always be something bigger and better out there. If you really have to have the latest and greatest, then fork over the money and time each time they release a newer device. Complaining is going to do absolutely nothing except irritate others and stress yourself out over nothing.

I dont understand why a company introducing new products to the market at a rapid pace is in any way shape or form a problem?

Did they announce that they were discontinuing support for the "horribly outdated s4"? LOL

At least the complaints appear only to be in a few few vocal individuals. The market has quite a selection of hardware. I suggest for your own sanity you should pick a company less responsive. You will "feel" better about yourself as it appears so far every argrument is of an emotionally "feeling" nature and nothing to do with anhy real physical issue with either the phone or the support for the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgbotoe:
People fail to realize US is not samsung only customers. They serve individuals from other countries with far better data technology than the US can cough up. We have lt now, but other countries had it for I'm sure more than a year...

You want samsung to distribute the same level of technology across its consumers? If another country have advance lt and we do not, you want samsung to sell them your typical old lte when the country can get far better service? The greed in this country still astonish me.

Additionally, you want samsung to make a phone for you that support a technology your career do NOT have? Why will they waste money on such stupidity just to make you satisfy? Just to make you not feel "any less"? Its business, get with the program. You do not like it, go back to standard phones.

It have been said many times on this forum and I will repeat. "The moment you buy a phone, you are OUTDATED because guess what? A better one will come out with in the next hour." future technology are being discussed and planned while they are rolling out the "latest"...there's no such thing as "Latest"

[General Questions and Answers] Kumabjorn:
A year or two back I recall an ad, I believe it was Samsung, for a phone that had a projector function. The ad showed young people displaying video on a caravan I think. Don't see that anymore, what happened? Technology too poor? Never caught on with consumers? Why? Just curious.
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
The phone would become bulky if there is a projector function in it. Plus, no one seems really interested in that feature in Mobile phones, maybe that's why they've stopped it.
[General Questions and Answers] WildfireDEV:
The phone you talk about is called the Samsung Galaxy Beam. The phone doesn't have a big audience and not many people are not yet interested in this type of tech and after personally holding one in my hands it is way to bulky and fat compared to the newer phones.
[General Questions and Answers] Kumabjorn:
Thanks, I was curious as to why I hadn't heard about any second generation.
[General Questions and Answers] WildfireDEV:
Probably because it didn't create as many sales for it to be up for consideration for a successor.
[General Questions and Answers] Kumabjorn:
How well did the projector in it work? I thought that it might not produce enough luminance to be useful and that is why it tanked.
[General Questions and Answers] WildfireDEV:
Well it was okay as I only got to play around with it for a few minutes in a shop. But it seemed that the luminance was a bit too low when you are in a lot up area but overall seemed to be a good phone.

iPhone Projector

Never saw that one - I've seen that Brookstone has a pocket project for iPhone. Not sure how good it is though. Looks a little bulky for carrying around in your pocket though.:cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] cerealfreak:
There was a surge in pocket projectors main manufacturer was Pico I believe. The Lumens output were limited but, in darkened areas they are OK but, expensive in comparison. A decent small projector around £400 the Pico projectors around £250. For the size and capabilities they weren't really justified in many people's opinions.

As for the phone, as already advised it is the Galaxy Beam. I think though it was only available in South Korea

I have had an SPV M2000 for a week and Iam very impressed.

However I cannott seem to get active sync (USB) to my PC and active sync to my companies outlook server via Orange GPRS to coexist (I am not using pop protocol but over the internet to a HTTP address).

When I do a manual sync via GPRS (I have to go into server in the activesync app and tick inbox) Iam informed that my outlook inbox will need to be refreshed (not quite these words), which is what happens.

When Iam back by my PC I have to switch of server sync to get the USB sync to work again and so on.

Both methods work well independantly and I cant see a way of setting up different accounts.

I have spoken to orange and they said only pop syncing was supported.

I am sure that Iam missing something here ?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] optimummind:
Already ordered mine. Cant wait to test this out. With my usage habits, the max screen-on time I was able to get out of my OEM battery was bit over 5 hrs (autobrightness). Let's see how much more time this ZeroLemon can add. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cris312:
Isn't the stock one around 2700amh, why bother?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] samdsox:
2600 mah. And 400 mah makes a difference to a power user. Could be like an extra hour of screen on time.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
The stock one is 2600mAh with NFC while this one is 3000mAh without NFC.

I get the same battery life as you and it practically lasts me the whole day and then some. The Zerolemon will probably give an extra hour or so screen on time assuming the mAh rating is correct.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] optimummind:
I bought it primarily as an oem-sized backup battery. Instead of buying OEM, I'm just buying from ZeroLemon. I already have zerolemon's 7500mah for long hauls. :p

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Biker1:
I've read about 10 pages so far and will continue later on. It is the weekend after all ;)

I already purchased a Samsung OEM Battery off Amazon to swap with the other OEM battery, and to have a spare. It costs approximately $27.

I rarely run out of juice with the original batteries, but I always carry a spare OEM battery with any phone I've carried because I'm not usually around 'Holes' for charging. The spare has come in handy many times on other devices.

I'll never really need more than one spare so 2 ZL for the price of one is nice, but not necessary in my case.. I do like the ZL wrapper though. It is Pretty :D

Anyway, I always go with the OEM, which doesn't mean ZL isn't a good brand., and 2 OEM's have always fulfilled my needs.

It would be nice to see the Actual capacity of the ZL batteries though, as battery usage times can be subjective and dependent on many different factors.

If there is supposed to be any failsafe protection in the lithium battery for the S4, I hope that ZL has initiated this protocol into the manufacturer of their batteries.

Added comments:

Here's an interesting read about circuit protection in cell phone batteries. While it's true that the cell phone devices themselves have overcharge and other protection built in, it appears that the lithium batteries also have circuit protection built in.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zaki67:
Got mine today. I put one in the phone and one on the charger til tomorrow. I have to say that I didn't face much trouble outting the back on nor does it have a visible or at least noticable bulge on the back. That's all I can say for now.

My highest was 14 1/2 hours with the same situation. But Ill do a back to back once I break in this battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] teshxx:
I got mine couple days ago and finally decided to use it. It is definitely tiny bit thicker than OEM battery. This results in an bulge. I kinda had a hard time putting the cover on and making sure it stayed on. Like I said earlier you will notice a bulge.

Now to my case. I use a Meifeng Quicksand Hard Cover Case. I fell in love with this case when I first bought it for my note 2. It has this rough, sand like texture which makes it slip proof. So I decided to order the same one for S4. This case is very well sculpted, but I didn't think that little bulge would make any difference and boy was I wrong. I tried and tried and tried to make it fit, but to no avail. Finally I decided to just use the case without the back cover. I have given a few good shakes and so far its seem like a tight fit.

Will update in few days after I have done a few cycles.

There is no "break in" or conditioning period for lithium ion batteries.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
I believe they found out this year that Li-Ion do possess a memory effect. Just not as bad as the nickel cadmium batteries. Cycling your device will help in battery calibration also or youll be lead to cell mismatches. Either way this isn't a debate and to review a product by Zero Lemon thoroughly you would follow the instructions they set for their batteries.

It would be very difficult to follow their instructions specially no charging till it has very low battery left!
