xdadevelopers is a great site for the more advanced stuff.

I bit the bullet and ordered a Galaxy S4 for myself and an S3 for my wife as our two-year upgrades through Amazon Wireless. Should be here on Monday. :cheers:

Hopefully this means better live posts and mobile coverage at events for the site. My droid 3 couldn't perform when I really needed it. I won't miss it.

 

Now my pic will haunt your screen

Amazon Wireless is just an authorized re-seller. I've never upgraded a phone through anyone but a Verizon store before, but Amazon Wireless was quick, painless, and easy. Basically, they pass along some of the sale commission to the buyer. In return, you promise not to change your service/phone for 6 months. Galaxy S3 was $24 and my S4 was $179 upgrading with new 2-year contracts.

 

Anyhoo.. the phones came in yesterday. Still figuring out all the new features but I'm very impressed so far. :cheers:

Just received a software update this morning for the S4. It now allows moving apps to the SD card. Its about time.

Talked to some people using Bluetooth on the GS4 linked to the Silverado. They said it sounds fine. Had the windows up and on rural highways (so @55 or so).

I've had it 35 days. I like It a lot more now. I found a keyboard app that makes the keyboard identical go the one on my RAZR Maxx. I have auto correct again. I hated that this phone didn't have it

With pretty heavy use the battery disappoints me. It gives a warning before 8 hours. I have Wifi and Bluetooth on all day and I am on Tapatalk most of the day. Also when I plug in my long charger it gives me this message and takes all night to go from 20% to 80% charge. Also can someone tell me how to get my phone number and address off the lock screen

I know having bluetooth on all the time does suck the battery a little bit. As for the lock screen go to settings- lock screen-lock screen widgets and see what "clock or personal message" is set at. If you just set it to "clock" it should display only the time when it locks. You can also see what it says under " owner information". That is where your name and number might be put in.

It was under owner info. I havent roamed with it to a different time zone. I want to see the dual clock. I was just in Tucson/Phoenix, Arizona but this time of year the time zone is the same.

 

I still want to know about the slow charge mode if anyone can explain the reasoning behind that to me.

Are you using the OEM charger and getting that msg or some random charger? Normally phones/tablets give that msg when the power output of the charger is less than the OEM one. I know before I changed over to using android all the time on my HP Touchpad webos would tell me when I plugged it in in my truck that it wasn't at "programed/suggested" power. It doesn't hurt anything it just takes longer to charge is all.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
