just discovered this little bugger in my action cam bag... not sure if that bolt will fit to the G4 or need some converter?




Aaah, I see now, that tripod needs a clamp that holds the phone..... will get one then

Or even easier a selfie stick. Readily available.

thanks for your feedback Bond - once I get the phone I'll maybe have more questions...

Maybe a last question, that is probably premature, do you guys have a spare battery for your G4? costs and where to buy, as TA don't seem to have?

 

[NeonNinja]

No, I have a 10,000 mAh powerbank. Dunno where to get or thus far interested in getting one.

A powerbank that has a 2A output is the answer, more useful(charge any device and 2 at a time) and no need to switch phone off, remove covers, back covers etc and then the reverse the process to put it all back together.

I hear you, but a spare battery is an instant 100% charge and probably just makes sense in an emergency

Have any here fitted the G4 for wireless charging?
I had that on my S3, but it was fooking slow....

No but I saw that one can buy a chip/sticker and DIY. I.e. https://www.google.com/search?q=+Ho...e=utf-8#tbm=vid&q=Add+Wireless+Charging+to+g4

 

[Bundu]

I saw that as well Park@82 - I still have the Qi charger, so was wondering..


....... and hopefully the last question to bug you guys with:
Anybody using MyPhoneExplorer to sync Outlook and SMS and files between PC and G4?

I see your point but a powerbank is just more versatile, there's always a gap to charge your phone it's just there's not always a charger and plug point handy wherever you may be, powerbank offers that seamlessly and can power any other USB powered device you may have. Suppose horses for courses though.

I'm considering getting the G4, what's real users experience with battery life please ? I'm reading poor comments on reviews regarding battery.

Then you've been reading bullschit articles

Battery life really is good... I had/have the S6edge as well, and that can't even come close. Seriously.

and from what I understand Android 6 should even improve battery life with the Doze mode

Just don't root.

Just don't root.

Mine's rooted - Android without Adblock will give me seizures. My battery life's fine.

Mine deteriorated after root.

Talking about root can anyone point me in the right direction regarding this.

Everything you need will be explained in this video, although I would wait until the expected update (next week?) to android marshmallow before rooting.
