New to artmod rom, questions

Hi, this is my first rom change. I installed together with artmod the 1.4.1 mod from the russian forum.

I have two questions:

1) the clock and date are sqeezed on the right side of the screen in two tiny lines whereas the rest are in one line. This makes the date almost hidden...can i change it somehow to one line? I tried with xposed modules but i didn't manage to fix it.

2) after boot i get error message that google service has stop and trickster app has root access. I believe that trickster is build in as i have not installed it. Do you see any problem with that? Google play works ok...i have restored my apps using titanium.

Thanks

This ROM saved my life

I just installed ARTMOD v7/4.4.2 on my Canadian LG E973. everything seems to work perfectly...except back camera ( main ) and LTE. I still have to figure out for LTE , it looks that there were many comments on this, I have to look on the XDA , but I will really appreciate if anyone could help for these issues (back camera mostly).

Arthur, you've done a great job, I would like to donate some $$$ (CAD ), do you still have a PayPal link available ?

Thank you, one more time,

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwoStroker37:
I use my ATT S4 Active on T-Mobile. Works great. 4.3, AWS unlocked, rooted, etc. I literally have zero complaints except battery life, but the phone is 1.5 years old so it could use a new OEM replacement.

I'm pondering the idea of getting the new Sony Z3 released today on TMO. I like how it's more survivable in the water (mine's in the water weekly) and it has a magnetic charger (to not live in fear of breaking the flap). My only complaint with the S4a is low light camera quality. It virtually doesn't exist. Daylight quality is amazing and I literally have zero complaints with any other feature of the phone. It does everything I need perfectly.

Do you guys think it's worth the cost of upgrading ($630 purchased outright) to get the Z3? Or should I just ride out my S4 Active till it fails and buy a new battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwoStroker37:
Well. The Nexus 6 is IP67 rated and same price as Z3. Plans just changed!!

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwoStroker37:
Well, turns out Sony just released the Z3 compact in the USA unlocked for $540. That's the direction I'm going. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I love my S4 Active don't get me wrong, and won't sell it... but I like the idea of having something new ya know.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caboose27:
I'm of the mind to use it till you *need* a replacement. I try to be economical in the true sense of the word - not getting things that I don't need. I'm going to keep my Active until it dies, or until the PhoneBloks vision is realized, and get one of those.

Time to start a thread with Qi Receivers. Not many right now and they are PreOrder only it seems. Also quite a bit expensive for now.

FoneSalesman N4 PWRcard ($29.99 Preorder)

Some good pics on this link. Also note Dispatching 10th of November 2014

FoneSalesman N4 PWRcard ($29.99 Amazon Preorder ETA Nov 10)

In the listing it is detailed as 1mm thick. This is thicker than most others Qi Receivers for other Samsung phones that are .5mm thick. Hope this is a mistake on their part.

If you go to the Amazon Technical Details link, you will see that there is an N4 SlimPWRcard at .5mm in the drop down, although you can't select this and there is no information on fonesalesman.com on this item

Also note that it states "N4 PWRcard may interfere with NFC & S-View functions of the phone."

If you find something else, please post in this thread!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
I saw somewhere the s-view wireless charging case would be released on the 20th. Hope so.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I ordered this one two day ago and don't mind the price. It was the only one I could find although I didn't try searching any of the Asian sites.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Now I'm a bit undecided about whether or not to cancel my order. From reading your post it appears the card I ordered is one that has the shielding to protect NFC since it is thicker. Plus I've been told by another member that I would need a custom kernel to get about 800mA max and stock is already around 700mA. The next variable is the capacity of the wireless charger itself with I have yet to look into. If that can't handle 1000mA, then there is no point since I don't intend to buy another charger. I have had wireless charging that I built myself in my S3 for over two years with no ill effects to NFC, and there is definitely shielding present, which I thought was to help increase the efficiency in regards to signal strength. I'm not worried about whether it will fit because it wouldn't be manufactured if it didn't fit in the first place. Right now I don't plan on flashing any custom ROMs or kernels, but if I can be convinced that I could get faster charging with no ill effects to NFC, then that would be worth it provided the charger I have can handle it! So, what I'm left with is to cancel and deal with my 'want it now or as soon as possible attitude' or wait to get the same thing at maybe 1/4 the cost.

EDIT: The charger I have has a max input of 750mA. The coil is rated at 600mA. So maybe I should cancel and get the same shielded coil at a better price later on. Hmmmmm!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tlundberg:
Found a reasonable sized photo of the Samsung Qi back cover

Still too small to fully read the label, but it looks as if it feeds the phone with 800 or 900 mA. So I guess that's the number to beat, or at least match, for 3rd party solutions! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jacquiegardner:
What if you use an S-view cover?

Just got my Note 4 and loving it! I also love the S-View covers. Mine does not charge the phone wirelessly: it looks like Samsung has yet to release that option. The Samsung wireless charging puck says it is compatible with the Note 4.

As far as the coil above goes, from the configuration, I don't think you can use it with the S-View cover. The S-view cover uses the 3 prongs right above the battery that this coil covers to reach to 4 prong above the battery. This is probably how Samsung keeps you from trying to use aftermarket coils. I think you need to be careful buying an aftermarket coil if you use the S-View cover. You may end up with one or the other: S-view function or wireless charging, but not both. Just my opinion.

Just thinking out loud here, but as far as the charging capacity of the coils goes, what does it matter if you're just leaving the phone overnight or while you're not using it? The only time the it would matter to me is if the device is nearly out of power. Then I would physically plug it into a 2 amp cord for even faster charging.

You are right, but some of us just have to have the latest! I was content with my decision to stay with the receiver I ordered that can only charge at 600mA. Then yesterday I saw in the upper left browser window, a beautiful Qi puck that is completely round! I'm having second thoughts now, lol! That page got flagged so I can go back and find out what it's charging limit is! Then I'll decide!

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tlundberg:
Please, when you get it, can you let us all know if it charges the phone with 800 or 900 milli amps?

If you could also get some calipers and meassure the difference in thickness of this cover compared to the regular one that'd be awesome :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] johentie:
sure i shall try ; > i'm sure it doesn't add any thickness as there is a cutout for the proper antennas to go in.. i believe the wireless charging "sticker" has an extra two contacts from the one out of the box..

i can measure the milli amps ..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tlundberg:
Usually the wireless charging back cover is about 1.5mm thicker than the regular one. But some proper measurements are always good to have!

There's no need to measure anything, just read the label on the inside of the cover ;) I haven't been able to find any photos of it with high enough resolution to make out the exact numbers myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mooptastic:
Samsung usually states it'll add some thickness, but in all the press adverts I've seen for the note 4 Qi back cover it hasn't stated it at all but rather "does not add any bulk." I wonder if it'll be different this time around!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skrubol:
I've noticed in pictures of the inside of the stock (non Qi) back, there are indentations in the plastic where the Qi sticker/circuitry would go. I would definitely believe Qi should add nothing to the thickness as it appears it uses the shell out of the same mold.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
That is actually not true. They work about the same but there are differences. For one, A6 uses a microUSB charger vs proprietor one in Vu. IMO A6 is pretty good imitation of the Vu, but it's not an identical copy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bdwlf2:
Ok, I shouldn't have said "exactly identical". One could also say that both companies have different shades of blue as well. Personally, I'd take the micro USB over the barrel connection simply because I have a box full of them...

But I do have a Question...

Has anyone tried linking 2 receiver coils in parallel? On a 3 coil transmitter the should be enough room.

Now I understand that this is technology is short ranged. But since it is broadcasting a signal, in theory, as long as they were in range the amount of receivers shouldn't matter, correct? A radio station doesn't have a limit to how many radios that can tune in. I know that these are different frequencies, but because it is technically sent as a broadcast signal, shouldn't the same rules apply?

If my line of thinking is incorrect, please let me know.

The only reason I know of why the receiver coil covers the battery is for temperature monitoring.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Saknice20:
I am going to re use the bits from my note 3 and use the touchstone mod for this (Google it), its fairly simple and worked great with my s3, note 3, and soon to be note 4. Chargers are cheap ($10), the coils are cheap ($5), and I have a charger at home, work, and in my car.

When I get it I may make a video for it but there are some already on YouTube. Highly recommend if you are a little DIY type of person, took me about 30 minutes first time.

Samsung has them now on their website so I canceled my order on that website. It was still listed as "waiting for stock". My Samsung order just shipped and will arrive on Monday.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
Do you have a link to the Samsung item?

Never mind, got it: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CN910IBUSTA

Also, I just ended up buying at Best Buy and will pick up tonight.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicholb:
Yep, that is the one I ordered. My previous phone was an S5. I had tried one of the battery cards (from vu) and did not really like it. I then got the OEM back and it worked much better. It did add a little more thickness to the phone but it was much more forgiving when placing on the charger. I also found the extra thickness made the S5 easier to handle. Hopefully the OEM back for the Note 4 works as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
Yeah, I had one on my S4 and it did add some bulk to it, where the case didn't quite fit properly, but worked well enough.

Had to order through Samsung, I ordered from BB because they said it would be available for pickup today and then they come back and say they don't have it in stock. Canceled order.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Well, confirmed that this one interferes with NFC! I don't like sending things back, but back it's going!

I've got one of the variants of the YooTech and am finding some weirdness with the NFC. It works fine with some bluetooth receivers I have that use NFC for instant pairing, but several attempts to use Google wallet have failed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sweets55:
This is my G3 on the Tylt wireless charger. I was lucky and bought two of them on clearance at T-Mobile months back for $30 each reg $69.99. Call and see if T-Mobile accessories department has any left and just say your friend got it for $30. The sku is SUPM39575. I got a cheap wireless receiver for the wife's S4 on Ebay and it stopped working after a month. I got my G3 receiver from China and it still works.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
Yes, I've found some weirdness with NFC also. I have an NFC tag here at work and one at home, the one at work sometimes works and the one at home, I can't get it to work properly. I already ordered the official Samsung back with wireless charging and NFC, so we'll see how that goes. I use and Otterbox case on mine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicopizza:
First, thanks to everybody contributing to this thread!

I just received today the original Samsung wireless charging cover for Note 4. It does indeed support both wireless charging and NFC...

BUT

in my short experience, it does not support both of them at the same time!!!

I have two wireless chargers, at home and in my car, which I have "modded" by adding a small NFC tag on top. So, for instance, when I get into my car, the phone starts charging, goes to lockscreen and from there I unlock it and it picks up whatever task there is on the NFC tag (turn BT on, start music, navigation, etc...). Same at home... They worked great with my Lumia 820, but I noticed that Note 4 does not read the NFC tag when I place it on the wireless charger and starts charging. I strongly believe it is because of radio interferences (NFC antenna on Lumia is on top of the phone, rather distant from the wireless module).

Is there anybody experiencing the same issues with original Samsung wireless cover (NFC not working while wirelessly charging)?

Is anybody able to read an NFC tag placed on a wireless charger with a different wireless charging receiver?

Thanks to everybody!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gregk232:
A good workaround for this is to use the Car Home Ultra app. It lets program whatever action to taken when it pairs with any Bluetooth device. I am using an airdock in my car, and when it detects my car's Bluetooth, it automatically puts screen on max brightness, plays music, and launches the app itself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
I use tags, but I don't have them sitting on the chargers. I just have them sitting on my desk and nightstand and just pick them up and place it against the back to work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] A|ex:
The Tylt and nokia wireless charger are the best i have tried so far at 12V each and can easily charge through cases etc. I am having a few problems trying to find a 5V wireless charger than can charge through a spigen slim armour case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicopizza:
Thanks for the tip!

Still, I need an NFC tag to trigger Bluetooth on my phone... I do use a DIY dock that is very similar to the airdock (although I use magnets instead of foam) and I would love to just enter the car, put the Note 4 on it, unlock the screen and let the NFC take care of the rest...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicholb:
Another option would be to use Tasker. You could set it to trigger off the blue tooth connection + wireless charging and have it perform the actions you want. Then at home have it trigger off your home WiFi + wireless charging. That is how I set up the docking actions on my phone. I have tried tags, but find they were not as easy. With my S5 I did try a tag on my Vu Tylt. I found that it would continually read the tag ever few seconds while the phone was resting on it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicopizza:
Thanks for the tip.

I am coming from windows phone, so I am still exploring possibilities... I heard about tasker, but never used. I am trying to get used to S Voice too... now I am going to root my phone first, then I look into a good set up of task for use at home, in car, and at work.

One question tho: how do I make the phone pair to a Bluetooth device and not just turn on Bluetooth (that is without using an NFC tag)?

Thanks again!

PS: sorry if I am going off topic here... I won't do that again. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Tasker can be told to connect to a particular device by name or address.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicopizza:
Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicholb:
I got my OEM wireless charging back yesterday (ordered direct from Samsung). As expected it adds some thickness. Basically the same as the one for the S5. Tried it on my Vu Tylt, and my iottie car charger and it works fine on both. I had no problems charging and both worked without having to tweak the position of the phone.

I ordered one of these FoneSalesman N4 PWRcard from Amazon.de with shipping 25 euro to the Netherlands. First thing to try was NFC and I have good news. NFC just works. Only downside of this PWRcard is that the back cover is a bit off at the health sensor. Thinking about to order a official qi back case from Samsung. But that is not available in the Netherlands.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
This is the reciever NOT to get. It was from China and it took forever to get... Does connect to charge but not consistently unless placed perfect.

Is very thin and makes no bulge at all on back that I could see.

Advertised as 700ma....it WON'T charge through me case at all. I ordered it from Aliexpress. I didn't bother checking NFC.

The next one on the other hand, I bought from eBay "also from China" buts works great for charging "not picky how placed" as well as NFC. Rated at 1000ma and makes a very slight bulge only in the center. I would say "any" case should work since the bulge is so small "approx 2" X 1.5""

Charges great even through my leather case "from Caseology"

This vendor "cmarket14" had excellent communication from day one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Excellent news. I am waiting on one from same eBay seller. Much as I like the wireless charger back from Samsung I'd like to use my case and the YooTech just wouldn't do tap to pay.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I have to agree with windstrings. I bought the phonesalesman and tap to pay would not work! Now I have another much less expensive model and it works fine although it is thicker and leaves a more noticeable bulge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
I got one of these: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/301400816942. It works fine and fits neatly under the standard back cover. It does seem, however, to be a little more finicky with placement than I'm used to with the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. I tried it with the LG WCP-300, the official Nexus charger, and the Qimini Pocket. I've been spoiled by the magnets in the Nexus devices which let you easily place the device even when it's dark in the room and you're not looking at the placement from above (like when the charger is on your bedside table). I'll see how it goes with the AirDock tomorrow.

Update: I tried it with the AirDock and it works OK. Unfortunately as per the instructions that came with the Qi receiver, you do have to offset the phone a little bit to the right. Centering it on any of the chargers I tried does not work. However, fortunately the AirDock is wide enough that even with the Note being a wider phone you still get the entire width of phone sticking to the AirDock surface. However you have to take a few seconds to play with the placement. With the Nexus you could just throw it on there and the magnets without worrying so much about the precise placement.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
Just ordered one of the official Samsung wireless backs. It will be interesting to see if there's any difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
There is. My Otterbox does fit, however, it doesn't fit completely as with a normal backing. You also can't plug in some charging cables. I've taken off the case for now. With my S4, I had the same type issue and I used a Dremel to shave off some of it so I could use a plug at times, like in the car.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sweets55:
