[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RojasTKD:
Yeah, I understand the idea behind the screen and battery life, but honestly I rather have something that is more easily read and navigated even if it has to time out and I have to charge it every night. It very easliy read out door in in the brightest of sunlight, but indoors you have to move the angles to find one in witch you can make it out (in less it a very well lit room. Heck, I charged it over night until about 11 am today, it now 10:15pm and it at 22% according to the display. The Sony and Motorola can do better than that.

It did lock up on me twice today. I e-mailed support and asked for firmware 1.2 to see if it was better, but they told me that FW 1.2 never made it out of beta and they recommend 1.3. They gave me some instructions to unpair the device and reinstall the app. Their instruction where for iOS and I'm on running Android (Galaxy Note II), so I unpaired the watch uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I even rebooted the watch and phone. So we'll see if tomorrow brings any more freezes.

Well, the Sony Smartwatch has gotten some good updates, and is a much improved device from when it was first released. It can even keep time even if it looses it's connection to the phone. It's actually a pretty capable device at this point, especially when paired with an app called Augmented smatwatch Pro. The thing makes it a bit ugly is the built in clip that makes almost twice as think as it would be otherwise.

The Moto is geared to fitness activities, but it can also receive notifications. In fact you can answer call either via a wired headphones with mic (included) or wireless headset (I have the Motorola S11 Flex HD I use when running). Again the Augmented Smartphone app adds functionality as far as receiving notifications in the motoactv as well. You can get weather on the Motoactv also (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.notifier.plugin.accuweather&hl=en).

You can even root the Motoactv and run many Android apps (thought not all apps will work or have totally functionality). With it's built in WiFi, BT and GPS it's almost like a tiny tablet.

The only thing it lacks to make it what I would consider an awesome smartwatch is the lack of a vibrating motor for notifications. If it had vibrating alerts I'd consider making it my only smartwatch.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LuvinN1:
Got mine yesterday and so far would not recommend this watch to anybody. It has given me nothing but troubles. The community edition app kept freezing my watch so I'm using Noah's meta watch app and purchased augmented smart watch pro for extra functions.

The most irritating trouble I am facing apart from the freezes is with the phone call screen and messaging screen. When receiving calls or messages I cannot go back to the original or 1st screen. In addition none of my buttons under the action screen works.

I also purchased one for the misses to be used with the iphone. Does not crash or freeze but is useless with the limited functions available. Watch does not even vibrate during incoming calls even though I have enabled this feature. Her music control functions and toggling between screens works and seems smooth (mine does not work on android). Again the downside for her is with the limited functions and connectivity issues. It keeps disconnecting and connecting.

Now I am stuck with 2 useless watches. I wear mine only because I purchased it. I'm thinking of just placing it back in the box because I am about to lose my mind.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Currently my TF300T is unlocked, rooted, ICS TWRP 2.3.1, nvflash blob files created (copies made and moved elsewhere) with AndroidRoot.mobi custom bootloader. I'm running stock ICS v9.4.3.17 and never ran any OTA's (one is downloaded/pending for install, but doesn't seem to do anything - likely because I'm unlocked?).

It's been recommended to just flash the JB bootloader & use a custom JB ROM rather than updating fully to JB (was said there are or had been, issues flashing the full JB from ASUS' website). With the nvflash blobs, I should be able to go back to ICS so I'd rather do a full update if possible. An earlier post [Q] Upgrade to JB bootloader from Unlocked ICS BL? asked the same but I need clarification on the answer (plus making sure - they were running ICS stock bootloader, not the custom from AndroidRoot like me):

If reading right, in fastboot mode first flash ICS TWRP (I ignore as I already have it), then from TWRP install the 1st JB Stock ROM zip, reboot into fastboot mode, flash TWRP for JB (or should I use nvflash?), and lastly, reboot into TWRP and install the latest ASUS stock ROM zip (v10.4.2.18).

Figuring my steps are correct, what version from ASUS is considered the 1st ROM? Currently only v10.4.2.17 and v10.4.2.18 are available. Also wondering why the need to flash an earlier version of JB and then the most current? And lastly, have others in same situation done this successfully or encountered any issues I should be aware of?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
I did this a short time ago to go from BB6 on ICS bootloaded to BB6 on JB. All I did was dropped back to stock ICS, upgraded TWRP, then drop the unzipped zip of the latest ASUS release. This got me stock JB on JB bootloaded. I then flashed the next BB6 version and went on my way.

The only painful part was that the post called for moving the blob to a specific folder and creating a command file. None of that worked for me. But leaving the unzipped zip file in the root of the SD card and rebooting worked flawlessly.

Good luck.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Thanks! So you were going from another set of instructions but ended up just flashed twrp-jb and installed the unzipped zip of Asus JB release via TWRP (I left out the revert to ICS part since I'm already there)? And do you have nvflash installed? No issue running the JB version of TWRP prior to upgrading to JB (had thought bootloader or ... would have an issue with it)? Would seem like order should be reversed, I may not be understanding it all fully!

Had come across various instructions but none seemed to fit being unlocked/rooted/nvflash/... and wasn't sure if would require different steps. Again thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
I think you're right... I was on BB6 w/ICS bootloader (NVflashed, though I don't think it matters) and had to roll back to ASUS ICS ROM first, then rooted, then upgraded to ASUS JB ROM, and then it goes blurry. Not sure if I upgraded TWRP or rooted stock JB at this point.

In any case, I followed the "update to JB" thread to a tee, and all went well except for the step regarding the actual JB update.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First I want to address your possible OTA. Processing requires stock recovery on your tablet. Having Twrp or CWM means the update will not process.

When you flash a complete stock rom from fastboot, Twrp, or CWM you are flashing stock recovery as it is included in the blob.

Most versions of Asus firmware can be found here! Don't forget to look at the second post as It includes the ICS stuff and older JB.

The first version of JB was to my knowledge JB 10.4.2.9.

Sorry, I forgot why flash first version of JB.

It has been said that is when your internal sdcard was repartitioned for JB.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wha2do:
Thanks for the info. To add to your one comment (for others that may come across this looking for add'l info), flashing a full stock rom will overwrite any custom recovery previously in place. TWRP (using the appropriate version for your firmware) or CWM will need to be reflashed again...

Checking, it does appear v10.4.2.9 is the first version of JB on the TF300T.

I've come across at least one or more posts/guides that mention ICS v9.4.3.30 should be installed before updating to JB - one being: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobproof]. I'm wondering if it's because that method updates to JB using the dlpkgfile (not sure what format it is)?

My take is doing the additional flash to v9.4.3.30 first can't hurt anything, but quite possibly unnecessary here? Any other thoughts or words of warnings from anyone? Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
Hello. Has anyone tried a wired or wireless w/dongle Xbox 360 controller with their DNA? Since the PS3 controllers don't seem to be working, I'm looking for an alternative.

TIA for any and all responses.

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Well wireless ain't gonna work I can tell you that much. The reason a ps3 controller works is because it uses Bluetooth.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
Using an OTG adapter and the USB dongle for connecting a wireless Xbox 360 controller to a PC, people have been able to use the wireless xbox controller with most Android 4.0+ devices.

Just wondering if it works for our DNA before I go out and purchase one since the PS3 controller doesn't work.

[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
Seems like HTC has given our OTG limited functionality. Until now I've never had a device where I couldn't just plug in my XBox controller and go. And yes, if OTG is working as intended you can use the wireless dongle and a wireless controller. I may start swapping some libs to see if I can get this **** working as it should.
[HTC Droid DNA] rivera_m421:
Please keep us posted :D
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
What's weird is the vendor files for xbox and other controllers are on the device, it just doesn't work. Hoping it's a bug and will be fixed in the next update.

[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
So I did some research and apparently the only problem is getting the DNA to supply power to the device. Supposedly the USB OTG is not handicapped in any other way besides it not providing power. If you supply your own power to the device (via a Y cable or powered hub) then it should work fine. Getting power to the device via the DNA would be a kernel thing I'll ask dsb if he's seen anything that may help us.

First off, can anyone with a powered hub test it out to make sure everything works as it should so we can move forward?
[HTC Droid DNA] robertmoore208:
Funny... I plugged my otg cable into my phone and it powered the usb just fine ... Problem I had was finding an app to run the stick

My HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
It will power usb sticks just fine as they don't require much power. For devices that draw more power (USB hard drives, XBox controllers, etc.) it stops supplying power and gives you an "unable to charge device" error.

Also, mine mounts just fine without any app. It mounts under /storage/usb/ and there is a symlink to /mnt/usb/.
[HTC Droid DNA] morpheousrx:
I tried the whole ps3 controller thing....doest work. I did however have a usb otg adapter and an old usb gravis gamepad (ps3) style and it worked flawlessly. I know best buy sells a logitech version of what i have for $24.99. As for the mount i used a coat hanger that i re-bent with some gaphers tape. Now vice city plays awsome!!!! Ymmv... Cheers gentlemen!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
Bought the $25 controller from Best Buy. No luck with it. Powered USB hub should show up tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how that goes.

I have a Usb hub and otg cable hooked up and my phone powered a Microsoft sidewinder x4 keyboard and g9x mouse at the same time just fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
Yup, it's def not got anything to do with power not being supplied. OTG cable plugged into a powered usb hub makes no difference for the PS3 controller. I was however able to get the device to semi recognize the wired xbox controller. When I booted up Shadowgun with the xbox controller hooked to the powered usb hub, it gave me the option to set up a gamepad, which only happens when you have one plugged in. I wasn't able to set any of they keys with it, though. So not really functioning. I'm guessing something to do with the Kernel versus anything hardware related.

Already in contact with HTC regarding this issue. We'll see what they're willing to do about it.

So download the philz kernel as per your build number and install it via recovery. This will root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthropostar:
If you dont have CWM as a recovery, you will first need to flash a cwm recovery image through odin. [or heimdall]

If you do have CWM as recovery try to flash a SU package [Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip?]. That will root / install superuser on your device.

Once both are done you can proceed with backingup&& flashing new roms.

Goodluck.

I had unlocked my dna on Friday, installed cwm and flashed supersu zip. IT didnt work though, tried to update the binary and it failed, so i did some searching and found A superuser flash zip, i flashed it and root had worked for a bit and then today i went to calibrate my battery, apon receving the error 'root your device first' i checked out titanium backup and same error 'no root'. Is this a bug ? Or is my phone going nuts

This apk here works but you will not get all the latest updates as google now is for jelly bean and voice search wont work

But I'm trying a work round for that.

to install this first make a copy of the google search in system app and place it some where

On you're sdcard then using a root tool delete google search in system app then reboot phone

Before you install this version if you don't it won't work enjoy

[Sony Tablet S] shouldnthaveboughtthis:
Just bought one... have the newest update but my wifi still shuts down once I hit the power button and i am unable to find a fix. Second every now and then, and becoming more frequent, when i touch the screen a black oblong shape will flash black ( almost like a thick lighting bolt shape) about a third of the screen. Has anyone else had this happen? Also The touch screen itself wont respond properly, I have to touch multiple times sometimes to get a response.( not to frequent but enough to be an annoyance ) lastly it will power off a random at least 1-2 times daily. Other than that I like it, just has a few bugs to work out.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
The screen flickering and wifi have always been bugs with both Sony Tablets with the later being fixed in release 5, or at 'seast it should've been, if thats what your on.
[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
For the wifi problem you can try installing "Advance Wifi Lock" (google play).. just install the free version, that should fix your problem.. let me know if it work!
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
What device?

If it is the Sony Tablet S, factory reset to fix most issues but there will be a few issues like screen flickering hidden in the settings while changing notification sounds and a few system server issues where the OS crashes to the boot animation and then System UI crashes, system server crashes in to a bootloop of crashes and stuff.

So system server/system UI is a bug sometimes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Which instructions have you looked at? And have you tried seeing if following the Windows instructions worked? It should work about the same when running programs such as Odin or Heimdall. The hardest part will probably be finding the proper phone drivers and software that work with Linux.

Edit: If possible, try using a virtual machine in linux. Apparently some people in other forums were able to use WINE in Linux when using Windows software. (I currently use Windows so that's as much information I can give you).
