the critics

Hello everyone,

from what I've read here i can see that some are still thinking the old way about a smartphone.

It should have every new feature and therefore a waste of space for borders is a waste of possibilities. Wrong!

Will you use your camera, high end GPU, LTE, flashlight, fingerprint sensor, WiFi, NFC, audio jack, HDMI port, USB port, speaker's and what ever else your phone has all at the same time? Or will you take pictures and share them over the internet, another time play a game on it and so on.

The medium sized model has 8 slots at the back, i guess WiFi and NFC can go in one, or even together with mobile and LTE. Another is CPU, GPU, camera, battery and sensors like gyroscope. Still at least one left. Maybe for another camera for 3D movies. Or a second battery so you can use it for several days.

If you don't need one, swap it with another one. They are not big, keep them in your purse or so.

Another thing was of they fall off easily. No!

They use electronic magnets to keep them in. When turned off they are very weak but strong enough to hold them in when you move and turn your phone, but nearly unremovable when turned on. A modified version of Lollipop will enable you to change most of the modules while the system is running. A weak CPU and battery are included in the Endo, so nothing will happen. You can guess you will have some kind of menu where you can choose which module you want to remove so the magnets turn off.

Why no backcover or pins to hold the modules?

Because they can wear off or even break. If you want to change modules often, like you have different camera modules for different occasions, a simple one for daily use, one with optical zoom and one with a big sensor for darker pictures, you will damage your phone sooner or later.

The phone normally is 9,7mm thick, same as normal smartphones, a cover would make it thicker. If you like one, get one. They surely will be available, because everything is modular.

It's not waterproof. Why is that a problem for you?

Every less expensive phone is not and this phone is designed for the 5 billion people who don't have a smartphone yet, because it's very cheap and customisable for every need. If you want it waterproof, there surely will be modules or covers available that guarantee you that, but they will cost a bit more, simple.

Why should the first version of a completely new way of handling the mobile hardware market put everything out at the same time. Get this piece of high-tech-art to work smoothly. That's what Google promises. And what they also promise is that everybody can participate in its evolution.

So if you have ideas on how to give that phone a new feature, think it through and try to form it into a sellable solution. This time you can not only complain and hope it's done better next time. No, you can improve it or even invent it.

It's time to use our brains finally!
[Project Ara General] sammi123:
I agree with that. It is not good enough

ProjectAraTalk.com - let talk about Google project Ara
[Project Ara General] citBabY:
Man, you summarised all what I wanted to say;

The project must start very simple, it's aimed to be sold for the majority of consumers, not adding x, y, x', y', x'' and so on... This way they'll lose a very large layer of consumers, for it requires more knowledge about electronics than the normal.

Afterwards there can be any accessories or additions as you guys want. The hundred step way starts with a step!
[Project Ara General] trippymanni:
I recently saw a hands on video for the Porto Rico release I believe. It look quite good and the first thing that came to mind was the thing needs a back cover. Pretty good idea OP. I was thinking something simple like an iphone cover, primarily to hold the shells in place. The way he was sliding the shells in and out got me thinking, those things are bound to come out sooner or later. I have a nasty habit of carrying my phone everywhere and wouldn't want a shell dropping out while I'm waving my hands around presenting or something.

I really want this thing to come out soon. Just hope its something that lives for years. Really tired of being forced to buy phones with features i dont need.
[Project Ara General] branc116:
Their could be problem with covers because you do not know where you have to put holes because you can put your camera, speakers anywhere on the phone.
[Project Ara General] PCIHD:
First things first don't hide the beauty of the modularity of this device.

Second I feel a case is ugly it is disrespect towards the phone and its manufacturer

And third please don't make any relations between project ara and iPhone is disrespect of the concept .

And for your question the epms can apply 30 newtons of force . I don't think the modules can pop out when that much force acts on the.
[Project Ara General] ClearD:
How about instead of a traditional back cover, you just have a sort of spider web that fits between the modules and fills up that space, and the space around them, holding them in? That way, the module artwork would still be there, the modules would be secured in place, and cameras wouldn't have problems in any location. Boom. Problem solved.
[Project Ara General] attadinata:
AFAIK module holded by magnet from the skeleton. I hve forgeting from were i hve read. May something new happened in ara project?
[Project Ara General] ClearD:
You're correct. They're held in place by electromagnets.
[Project Ara General] snapper.fishes:
Magnets, not electromagnets. Otherwise all the pieces would fall off once the battery run out of juice.
[Project Ara General] garva1:
I think they have their own dedicated little batteries to hold them up.
[Project Ara General] snapper.fishes:
Which can still run out. Besides, why use electromagnet when one can use simple permanent magnets?
[Project Ara General] ClearD:
Because they (google) said electromagnets? I don't know how it works either, but that's what they said. Potentially passive phase shifting magnets? Magnetize when current passes through one direction, then demagnetize when current is passed the other direction. Don't require constant current, I don't believe.
[Project Ara General] modularmania:
Project Ara uses a epm system, electro permanent magnets.

Project Ara Hardware analysis is available on modularmania.com

On Project ara is not required a cover for the entire smartphone, each module will have a single cover, replaceable and customizable.

My kindle disconnects and automatically reconnects every 2-10 seconds ever since i rooted it making it impossible to do anything online.

The wifi icon just keeps going blank and then to full on its own.

anyone have a solution?

im using cm 10.1 and the gapps with it, lemme know if theres an older more stable version there ?

Since my upgrade to 4.4.2 - version 757, the battery on my phone not lasting as good. On Jelly bean, it lasted well over a day and more. Has anyone had the same issues and/or have any fixes or can help. BTW the phone is not rooted and I do not want to do so.

Had the same issue. Noticed that Google Now notifications were activated. Deactivated and now I come close to 48h on a single charge, even better than before upgrading.

With Google Now notifications activated, it wouldn't last 24h on a single charge.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I've been running Phoenix ROM v7.3 on my I9505 for a few months now. In the last couple of days it's started acting strangely...yesterday the home button stopped responding (it would turn on the screen, but nothing else). I tried rebooting a couple of times but it didn't help.I also noticed that some of my sound settings had changed without any intervention from me - phone ringtone, notification sounds, sounds when touching the screen. This morning I ran Titanium Backup and it told me that my device id had changed, and asked if I wanted to restore my previous id (which is what it did when I first flashed the ROM a few months ago). I answered "yes" to this, and let the phone reboot, and now my home button seems to be working again.

I know the obvious thing to do is wipe and reflash, but does anyone know why this sort of thing happens?

Hi. Can you point me to the threads for adding programs to your extened ROM.

I want a program to be reloaded automatically even if the device goes flat or a hard reset is done.

I have used ISOImage tool to copy the current ROM off the device onto my hard drive.

I would also like to setup the default cellular modem connection too from the Telco to our private connection if that is possible.

Thanks

GALAXY S4 ACTIVE ROOT DISCUSSION THREAD

Hello,

In this thread we can discuss about root methods.

I contacted [MENTION=833788]rebel1699[/MENTION] that made the root on the AT&T S4 i337 if we can have the same thing.

He still didn't answer, When he will answer I will update.

We can also port a rooted ROM from theres by porting and modding mod keyguard.apk, android.policy.jar, framework2.jar, services.jar and secsettings.apk. Thanks for the information

[MENTION=3417326]Arsaw[/MENTION] that with E-Team ported Note 3 4.4.2 rom for the Note 2.

Subbing this thread for future updates. If anyone needs or wants any info from a device, my ATT S4A is running ML2 - Rooted, and my brother's is Stock running 4.4.2. So if we need any info from either device I can get whatever files a dev may need to help figure out rooting procedure. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] rebel1699:
If someone could point me to the full odin tar firmware, I can see what we can do. Be aware, I was able to do this on the i337 because Samsung neglected to blacklist the 4.3 kernel from being flashed, thereby allowing us to downgrade from 4.4.2 to a 4.3 system ( all but bootloader). If that is also the case here, it should be doable, providing we have a full odin 4.4.2 tar.

I was worried bout this before I got my M8 as my phone is my music player.

In all honesty you don't really need a equalizer with BoomSound on board. .

It does a great job of making any music sound even better.

If you still need one though I would suggust a music app called playerpro . . .

Lens Blur DOES not work(Presses the button,then FC)

Panorama and Photosphere DOES not work(Gives Black viewfinder)

Overly Simplified UI does not have much settings.(By much I mean nearly NONE)

Verdict:Can be much improved if all the bugs were fixed and some of the settings return.The UI is slick but too simplified IMO.

I recommend you get it once bugs are fixed.Hence,getting a much better experience.
