[Transformer TF300T General] jaredmorgs:
Hi all

I'm running JellyBAM on the SGS2, and it is a lovely ROM. Apparently there is a build for the TF300T, but I note is is suspiciously absent from the Development Forum.

http://get.jellybam.com/tf300t/

Is there a reason for that?

With the requirement for Android 4.2 Rooted TF300T tablets to only install custom ROMs built from ASUS source, how can I find out for sure that this ROM is compiled from Asus source, and therefore won't brick my device if I install it?

I don't mind doing the research on this, but I'm not sure who to contact. I've tried to do some searching on the JellyBAM site for any clues in changelogs, but there doesn't seem to be any info specific to TF300T and how the latest stable build interacts with the JB 4.2 bootloader.

Can anyone shed some light on the subject? Your help is greatly appreciated. :D
[Transformer TF300T General] engraver65:
well...i don't know, why this rom is not listed in the developer section...but the base of this rom is 4.1.1, so it's not compatible with the 4.2 bootloader...have a look in the build.prop of this rom...there you can see it...

"fingerprint ro.build.description=WW_epad-user 4.1.1 JRO03C WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122"
[Transformer TF300T General] jaredmorgs:
Thanks for clearing that up. I will steer clear of this ROM, and perhaps try CROMi instead.

I think there is no dev thread for TF300TJelly BAM on XDA, so perhaps that is the reason why there is no mention of the ROM in that thread?
[Transformer TF300T General] MotoFlasher:
Thank you very much! I did not know that there is such a ROM.

Would have liked to hold on 1000000 THANKS but - "Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" ;)

'm Thrilled to now. A really hot tip.

P.S. 4.1.1 bootloader ;)

You can try leaving yourself a voicemail and then delete it. Or call your carrier to reset your voicemail. I seem to also remember a setting to clear notification icon back in the day...gl
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
download Light Flow Lite or the payed version (which I use)

There you can customize the colors of your led notifications.

Also if you use its widget when you click on the widget it will reset all the notifications that are still running...

Best of luck

Hi noob here, I just updated my xp to jb and found that my gallery and music is empty... I checked on sd card from astro and its still all there, why didint.it.show?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M_247:
It occurs generally when you update, because the 'media storage' app of system goes blank... So your phone's media apps can't recognize any media...

This can be solved by its own generally after some wipe data and reboot if you've updated via Seus or pc companion...

And you can find all your media via third party apps like quick pic, mx player etc...

Someone needs to be the guinea pig and try this out. All the YouTube reviews are old and not done very well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Based on reading Amazon reviews (constant disconnects), the fact this is 2+ year old technology supporting Android 2.x and up and old BT standard, and the fact I have been in contact with MetaWatch guys (and also keeping up with Pebble smart watch updates) who work on this exclusively and still waiting on resolution from Google to address problems with Android 4.x and remote media connection - I would suggest it's not worth it. Another problem, companies wouldn't even care to send you a review sample for their old product, so it's not even worth contacting them.... Just my humble opinion.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] willfck4beer:
Works great on note 2. $18 free shipping on ebay now. Awesome! Imho

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

And it's micro usb so no extra charger needed. There's now open firmware, open app alternative, sony updated their app last week, lots of 3rd party apps (play store shows about a hundred). Wicked. At $18 the dev on this is going to explode!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] plemen:
Wow for $19 this is a great deal. Just pulled the trigger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TerryMathews:
There's a plug in for this so that Torque can use it as a screen. Best app ever.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] acuratlsfan:
Yeah...that's what I thought too when I purchased it last year for $30 from expansys .com

Return/Cancel it if you can. The device never worked properly when it was first released...the Sony App had issues with Android 2.x Gingerbread ,and still doesn't work correctly with any newer version of Android.

The device has to be connected via bluetooth to function. If you are not connected to BT, it will not even display the TIME!!!! Main issue is that the device fails to reliably connect to your phone. Some times it will connect...but most of the time not. There are work around instructions on XDA...but connection issues still exist. Another work around if to always keep the app active...but that drains your battery.

In the even you get it connected to your phone....the plugins for the device are very basic...notifies you that you have a call, a sms, or email. You can see the subject of the email and kinda scroll through ur sms. But the device is more of a hassle than help. Device battery is not great...probably last max 1.5 days if you don't press/use it at all.

Sony released the updated version of this device the "sony smartwatch" msrp 150, but only now for $80...but that still has intrinsic issues. They are just dumping this at low prices before Apple & Samsung announce their "smartwatch" devices

Edit: willfck4beer posted that their is an openDev alternative app. This didn't exist when I owned the device..which is what my review is based off of. Maybe it's time for me to dig it out of my closet
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] willfck4beer:
my 2 cents:

-Latest firmware from Sony keeps watch functioning even if BT connection lost - so clock never flashes 0:00 as it used to.

Don't know why but Sony keeps this updated - just last week new app update.

-Latest firmware and Sony App seem to work great with Note 2, Evo 3d, Evo 4g across various flavors of Gingerbread, ICS, and Jellybean across HTC and Samsung - unrooted stock even... CM makes it incredibly solid connection.

Nonetheless, imho it is a very solid connection.

-3rd party apps are just constrained by imagination and devs. I'm seeing about 100 different plugin apps.

There seems to be a lot of app dev spawned by new sony smartwatch (while they are not compatible, I'm seeing a lot of apps that have been developed with minor modification and released on both devices simultaneously.)

-at $18 with free shipping, Dev is only going to continue - this thing runs a standard Chi-bios RT OS.

My favorite Apps right now:

Remote Camera (allows live view of camera --- and remote shutter release)

Espresso Watch 1 *** Sexy looking watch app

Espresso Watch 4 *** (Watch with brackground downloaded from imgur based on a keyword you specify e.g. "booty")

Fake call (perfect to get out of a conversation that is going on and on)

Confusion

Launcher (recreates your entire app drawer on liveview to selectively launch any app)

SmartChrome --- I set to "classic.slashdot.org"

POSVIEW -- shows your position on google maps

Liams map plugin -- shows position, but allows some better config options like nighttime, hackermode, ...

Is 4 hours battery life this true? Don't want to have to charge my watch everyday...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Good question about 4 hour battery life. Is this max batt life even when idling? I mean, even if you don't access any apps, you still keeping BT sync connection so battery is draining. I can imagine that running additional apps will put more strain on the battery. Since this gadget is a few years old, it will not have the highest capacity in terms of what has been available back then. My new Blue Buds X have 8hr battery built into a tiny earpiece by itself. I'm just thinking this Sony device was ahead of its time. If they can re-release it now with updated hardware and support for all the latest BT standards that would have been great!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] willfck4beer:
I think this depends on your duty cycle/usage YMMV

Some data points:

If I engage a program like remote camera viewer - where the processor, bluetooth, and screen are kept on at full blast uninterrupted... it seems the battery will die after about an hour.

If I'm using the watch to browse emails, txts, facebook, that periodically arrive, then the watch may go for 2 days.

If I've left the watch at a friends house on... but disconnected ... It's still been fine after 4 days IIRC.

I think this thing is prime for tweaking, underclocking?, reduced duty cycle, tweaked BT interractions, reduced polling frequency, oled screen tweaks, creative solar projects, battery upgrades, and the like to increase it's life. I'm working on a flexible, thin film solar band that will trickle charge this ***** constantly and/or a tiny coin-cell module to charge on the go.

I really think for $18 this thing is AWESOME and has so much potential - especially at the hands of the XDA Dev community.

I think one promising aspect is the open firmware being dev'ed... if this thing runs a standard Chi-bios RT OS... we could tweak the **** out of it. imho.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Generally, I'll see two full days of usage before I have to charge.

"Power: Low usage, 1 week/ Typical usage, 3-4 days/ Heavy usage,1 full day"

But, as you said, this was released several years ago with old technology and the batterylife has been degrading while sitting in the factory, on the shelf, etc..

Perhaps we could simply extricate the old battery and replace with a new one? Perhaps one with a higher mah capacity?

There've been several tear downs and mods to the watch already and it seems relatively straight forward to open her up.

I've noticed that this thing has maintained a connection via bluetooth through a brick wall and spaced about 10 feet apart... as the power usage increases based on distance squared, perhaps the open firmware could allow the user to selectively set a more statistically representative transmit power/distance to go from wrist to phone through cotton vs. brick and 10ft. This might have tremendous power savings. imho. something as simple as "low power mode" vs. "high power mode."?

Sony advertises : "Bluetooth - up to 10m range" this seems like overkill for most use-cases.

As the screen is OLED, I believe that substantial savings can be had by programming an inverse color scheme to use primarily black and thus non-energized pixels.

Sony has released a new one - the smartwatch mn2 - but it's about $100 and doesn't have all that substantial of upgrades.

If you have cash to burn... the Motoactv seems a far superior investment at $150ish... in for a buck... in for a quarter? :)

But for me, I'm fascinated by what this guy (for less than twenty bucks) can already do and the potential it has once dev interest builds.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
If we start looking into more advance options, might as well look into a more superior technology of Pebble or Metawatch smart watches?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] willfck4beer:
imho none of those can touch the Motoactv... fullblown android, fullblown touchscreen...

But when you start talking advance technology... I believe we are talking $150 and up - about 10 times as much $$$ as the liveview.

When you factor in that liveview also has openwatch api support (in addition to all the native dev and reverse engineering efforts)... I think it's shortcomings are surmountable for $18.

I just got my flexible thin film solar watch band to deliver 59.6milliamps!!!! (on an overcast day) and it successfully charged my BT headset and seemed to accumulate charge in the liveview. If this is the case - we may be able to keep liveview running indefinitely while on your wrist with no need to take off and charge it!!!! :)

And the liveview can display boobies in full amoled color!!!

Im watch is $300!!!!!

Pebble is $150 and black and white only AND NOT REAL YET : "Preorder"????

both look bulky as hell!!! The Im does look awesome and love the gsm sim.

Liveview:

+standard micro usb port.... use phone charger.

+standard chibios RT OS

+full colour amoled display

+CHEAP

+Sony updates APP; has not deprecated... May30 2013 update with added feature;

+Sony updates firmware;

+Open liveview app reverse engineering effort active and functional

+Open firmware making progress

+CHEAP

+about 100 apps so far (including Solitaire or blackjack, Torque, remote camera control, remote music control, calculator, fake call ...)

+TINY

+imho XDA loves cheap/free. At this cost, we should send a couple to TeamWin or someone like Samsung did for CM7 and just let those fxuckers run wild with it.

But this is the thin film I'm using:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thin-Film-L...675?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a8132e5db

I'm getting promising results but nowhere near 420mA :) advertised.

After the voltage converter(2V to 5Vusb) on an overcast day... I'm getting about 59.6mA

WHICH is cool because to keep the old girl topped off, she only seems to be sipping 45mA to keep screen on the whole time at full brightness!!!!!!!!!!!!

Current usage in different operating states:

Full battery; NOT CHARGING:

.9ma	OFF (LED,charge determination circuit?)

28ma	ON, Disconnected, screen off

30ma	ON, connected, screen off

36ma ON, connected, screen DIM

45ma	ON, connected, screen FULL BLAST

70ma	ON, connected, screen FULL, Processor FULL, BT FULL*** running remote camera view on full color, full update freq...

73milliamps draw when liveview is OFF and charging at substantially EMPTY battery;

90ma Standby no connection and charging;

96ma ON with Screen ON and charging;

94ma ON, connected, screen OFF

96ma ON, connected, screen ON.

OK, pulled a trigger for $19.99. As I was looking at the ebay seller who has it in bulk - I see messages pop up every 30 seconds about someone is buying it. For the full use with all the cool apps, battery life is not acceptable as a smart watch. I think it will be just a neat gadget to play around with. I'm very interested in that remote camera thing, like one of our baby monitors I guess. I assume everything works when you have it plugged in on a charger, you can still use apps? BTW, this is going to be my first gadget/accessory I have paid money for in the last 5 months, you really got my interest high!!!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Read my MetaWatch review and follow-up post in there. I don't think a lot of people understand the meaning of smart watch and what it's capable of. Of course, when you have something like MN800 which turns off after a few seconds and only turns on when you get notification or you force function button to show display - it becomes a gadget/toy. But with a smart watch like MetaWatch or Pebble with a display constantly on where you can do a lot of phone functions without taking your phablet out of the pocket - that's priceless. Either if you are in a movie theater, or in a meeting or driving, etc or your phone rings, or you riding your bike or exercising - you get all the notifications about email, txt, caller id, schedule reminders, weather, stock alert, notification about voice mail or missed calls, control your music player, etc.- all that without taking a phone out of your pocket. As I said in my other review - a proper configured smartwatch is an extension of your phone, NOT a substitute.

Oh and speaking of cars, was driving around noon, passing local high school. They had early dismissal since it's a last day of school. Some punk kid pulled out of parking lot in a brand new black Ferrari (yeah, I live in that part of NJ). I don't own a Ferrari, but I want one!!!! :D

How would you characterize your average usage over the three days? How long have you had the liveview?

Does anyone have any recommendations on getting notifications easily for exchange email?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I would like to know as well, for exchange email. What is a setup? Augmented Smart Watch app only supports Sony Smart Watch, not live view. Otherwise, it would have been easy since Augmented smart watch filters out and sends notification from K9 (all your IMAP and POP3 accounts), Touchdown and other notification.

Beside exchange, how do you get your IMAP and POP3 email notifications on LiveView, which app? Or how do you setup with a current email client. I haven't looked at it close, been playing mostly with MetaWatch. Unfortunately, MetaWatch battery only last at most 2 days, and it eats into my Note 2 battery because of bt connection and need to run K9, TouchDown, Executive Assistant+, and smart watch management app.

But is there anything you can recommend for email, beside Gmail? I need to monitor my Exchange account and also my isp POP3 account as well as other IMAP accounts from Yahoo and Gmail (I prefer everything in one place).

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] droidbabyxda:
So most of people here says this watch is good but other sites says it sucks.... hummm. Debating on whether to get one. Not allowed to bring out phone at work was hoping this will give me some idea of I have msgs while at work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
But this LiveView or any other smartwatch just give you an indication about incoming call or message/email, some with limited visibility of the actual message. When you receive it, you still have to pick up your phone to act on it :) Helps to avoid looking at your phone all the time for that notification light blinking, but it will never replace the phone. These gadgets is just a remote extension of the phone.

Regarding getting it, it was an impulse buy since it was only $20 and I saw "sold" numbers go up by hundreds a day - everybody jumped in to buy it. I figured if I don't use it, I can always sell it back on ebay to recover this $20 :)
