I have a black one and I'm a first time smart watch owner, I can say I'm really disappointed in the watch but it does everything that it suppose to do. My gripes are no play store access, there's so few apps it's kinda pointless. No keyboard or way to answer text or emails other than s voice (critical flaw). No micro sd slot (not a big deal but there's definitely enough room to squeeze one in. With all that said I'm giving Samsung until Google announce the Google gem on Oct 31. To make my decision to keep or return it I'm on the fence with the device right now it does some nice things but not so many as to justify the price or the 209 plus warranty I paid for it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
I hope you are joking, correct? What did you expect for an early adopter. Hang in there, the apps will come, the developers will open the Gear up to its maximum potential and remember, it is not a tablet or a phone, you already have those and this is just an extension of them for short/quick view. If you need all the details, you need the phone or table.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] randy2:
I have the note 3 I have tablets also when I look at the GG I was thinking a watered down omate, or at least a high end Sony smart watch 2 but what I got was a quasi useful Samsung dumb watch with advanced intelligence. It's like the cliff claven of smart watches it's smart but only for useless things not everyday intelligence. But it might be me I was expecting to much, my references was Sony, and omate and it seems Sony might the same or given a slight edge and the omate blows this thing out of the water
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Who really wants to do that much from their watch? I see people talking about typing and other things, isn't the goal to save you time? Can you imaging typing on a tiny watch?

The gear succeeds in allowing me to keep my phone in my pocket more. It is a COMPANION DEVICE, which it does well. The longer I'm living with it the more I like it (especially S Voice integration for sending/replying/reading text messages).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a review summary of the G1 from when it was first released. Sound familiar? Wearable’s are at the same point in their gestation. Between Samsung, Sony, Pebble, et. al., who do you think will ultimately win? Hint: the one with $35B USD cash on hand. So picking the Gear, even with its warts, is probably a better investment evolution wise than all the others. And that's knowing there will most likely be a Gear 2 in the spring.

The G1 isn't going to blow anyone's mind right out of the gate. Looking only at the hardware, there's nothing here that's particularly impressive, yet nothing that's particularly bad (though the GPS needs some work). It's a fine, solidly designed device that has enough style to please most users -- but it won't win a ton of beauty pageants. Think of it this way: if it were running Windows Mobile, it'd be a footnote in HTC's history.

At the end of the day, however, this isn't about the hardware, and really never was. The story here is Android and what it promises... though doesn't necessarily deliver on at first. Like any paradigm shift, it's going to take time. There is tremendous potential for this OS on mobile devices -- it truly realizes the open ideals laid out by Google when they announced this project. The only problem seems to be the stuff they either left on the back burner, cutting room floor, or hoped would come from that exciting, untapped world of open source developers. While there's plenty to praise in this phone, there's a lot more that's missing -- and some of those missing elements are what we consider to be core components of a device in the G1's class.

Shortcomings aside, though, you're still buying into one of the most exciting developments in the mobile world in recent memory. When you put the G1 up against, say, a Sidekick LX, it seems like a no-brainer for T-Mobile customers looking for a powerful QWERTY device -- especially at $20 less. You don't need to be a cutting-edge mobile geek or a pundit to do that math. When facing off with platforms like the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices, it holds its own, but has a lot of ground to cover before it's really making the competition sweat. Still, if you're just excited to be a part of a platform that's likely going to be around for a very, very long time, the G1's a totally reasonable day-to-day device to make it happen, and we expect some pretty great things from this corner of the market down the road.​
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] filfat:
if it is true that it "sucks" so can we atleast be happy about the fact that google is releasing thier Google Glass Soon :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Sdr001:
I don't think it sucks - I absolutely love it and everyone that sees it in person seem to be very impressed (although I'll be forever now be know as the guy in the office with the 'Bond' watch... I don't think I've done any work last 2 days in between of playing with it and people stopping by to check it out! )
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] polstein:
I've been wearing it a whopping 3.5 days now, and I don't think it's garbage at all.

Needs improvement on the software side? Absolutely. I would really like to get more notifications & not be restricted to the stock apps if I don't want to be. I'd like quick reply options for sms, and a quick reply option for declining calls. I'm counting on devs (like the awesome dev of Augmented SmartWatch Pro) to help out.

Hardware side? Battery is ok for me - I had 82% left yesterday with light use, but I'm used to a nightly charge. I dislike the cradle for charging. I would really like it if it was more water proof; I'm not intending to swim or shower, but I want to know that I'm safe in the worst of rain.

Yesterday, on the way out of work I got a call when I stopped at the bathroom. Easy swipe to decline the call. While walking to the car, it was easy to hits logs & call him back on the watch. In my car, at a light, I sent a text to the wife telling her I was on the way via s-Voice. You probably could have seen my grin a mile away.

Is it perfect? No. Will there be improvement? Too early to say how much dev support it gets and how many updates are pushed out. Is it as good as (for example) the Omate watch? No idea, it's not even out yet - hopefully won't be delayed over & over like the Pebble. Overpriced? Yup, those that really want it won't mind the extra $100-150, but you lose a lot of people in volume that way. (and I have no idea what it costs them to make).

YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Andrewtst:
Give some times for Samsung, it is pretty new. Those apps sure can sort it out nicely, especially those notification, Kaokao can direct view message, don't see why it can't for others like email and Facebook, it just depends on how the apps is written only. Line wise is not working, need fixed for the moment.

Some more you actually can install third party apps via ADB, this is cool. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwankl:
I'm using S3 and think that the speaker (not earpiece) is just ok (not very good). I think S4 speaker is better than S3 and would like to know how's it compare with Note 3 one. I would really consider buying Note 3 if its has the S4 speaker (though its a bit large for my taste).

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
this has been one of my concerns as well... i had the s4 and the speaker is weak... after searching vigorously for samples of the note 3 speaker, i've come to the conclusion that it MAY be as good as the note 3 speaker and better than the s4 and s3 speakers.

I like that it's on the bottom instead of the back where it's always getting muffled.. i want to bad to like the speaker quality when i get this phone lol. hope hope hope

Hello,

I have Galaxy 4 I9505 with foxhound 2.0 and Adam kernel.

I want to do undervoltage.

Which kernel is best for it? And how to check the stability of the device after UV and whether it endangers the cell phone?

Does it improve my battery life?

Thank you all!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
And you can't go to the two development sections & read the first page of a few threads devoted to particular kernels why exactly ? (That's the reason why you haven't had a response).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden66:
Sorry I'm new here.

I will search what you said thanks..

But it's not written there if its can harm the device and how to check stability..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK.

1) Undervolting won't harm your device. If anything, it's kinder on your phone's components because it should run a little bit cooler under most circumstances.

2) Re: stability, decrease in 25mV steps, test thoroughly to make sure it's stable (this varies from phone to phone), then decrease another 25mV & so on. This applies whether you're applying the undervolt 'globally' (I.E the same across all CPU frequencies), or whether you're applying different levels of undervolting to different frequencies. It seems most I9500/I9505's can handle -50mV (though yours may not) globally.

So you're only going to find out what's truly stable for your phone by testing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crauze:
I'm using KTweaker to undervolt

Undervolt doesn't damage the phone, if the phone doesn't reboot itself or app force closes then it's stable or you can use this app to test stability

Yes, it does improve battery life as undervolting the CPU and GPU means it's using less battery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden66:
thanks you very much!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benni_1994:
If you want to test the stability after undervolting I can suggest antutu benchmark with built in stability test.

[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
So I came across this last night, anyone got any ideas what it could be?

https://m.facebook.com/sonymobileuk

I messaged my local Sony Rep but he doesn't no anything, apparently.
[Xperia Z1 General] daleski75:
Z1 Mini??
[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
Possibly, though I think it's something to do with the camera, going by the photo.
[Xperia Z1 General] ascariss:
Would be nice if it was this supposed firmware update for the Z1 that helps improve the camera.
[Xperia Z1 General] drsoran2:
It must definitely be about the camera. That circular thing looks like the outer ring of the camera lens. I guess it must be the final camera software which was supposed to be due in October....together with 4.3., that'll be great.

However, I wish Sony would skip 4.3. and just go straight to 4.4. I mean, who wants 4.3. if 4.4. is just 14 days away?

Sony should make everybodys mouth drop if the announce they release of 4.4. at the end of October. Like: "BAM! In your face Samsung!"

I mean, hardware manufacturers are supposed to have acces to the next Android version 3 months before the release to the public, so basically since the days of the 4.3. announcement and this should be plenty time to get the update ready soon after the 4.4. announcement.
[Xperia Z1 General] ptoner:
Its for the release of the Sony Playstation 2 games for the Z1 i think.
[Xperia Z1 General] gallardo5:
Maybe there is a part of camera because They are releasing fix for camera breakdown when unlocking bootloader?:D I know, stupid guess :(

Sent from my Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] ascariss:
I wouldn't expect 4.4 just yet, it will be a while before anyone has 4.4 on their device except the nexus 5. If anything, perhaps by December or January maybe Samsung or HTC will roll it out but I doubt it, more likely next year after CES. 4.3 just came for the htc one, and I don't even think the S4 is on 4.3 even. If Sony releases 4.3 now for the Z1, it will be a nice treat.

With 4.3 there is improved camera software, so perhaps with this, the camera's potential will be unlocked, as in better quality, 1080@60fps, or even 4k.
[Xperia Z1 General] matheus_sc:
Can be Android 4.3 or 4.4 and camera up grade, i think Sony will be good this year.
[Xperia Z1 General] juDGEY2k10:

[Xperia Z1 General] pepeo123:
judging by the picture, i think its something related to camera

hidden of hidden potentials or something, so they will release a new firmware with better camera capabilities and maybe even 4k recording

or maybe honami mini
[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
I think it's something to do with the camera, like people have already said 4k recording could be one, but I'm hoping for the finalised camera software tbh. 4.3 is due out in October I'd be surprised if it came out so soon.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] akihabara:
Dear All, my name is Carlo from Rome, Italy.

I just got an O2 XDA II (O2 UK version i think) second hand off a local italian forum member (www.telefonino.net).

Cool unit I already love it !!! ;-)

I currently have:

ROM VERSION 1.60.00WW

ROM date: 12/03/03

Radio version: 1.10.00

Protocol version: 1337.18

ExtROM version: 1.60.50

I live in Italy where we do not have O2 carrier.

Right now i can use this unit with my italian carrier TIM (Telecom italia). No problem !!!

It works ok with both phone calls and GPRS connections (just finishind doing tests).

Now...

My question is...

I'd like to upgrade this O2 XDA II to a newer version of OS such as:

1.72.187 (for permanent GPRS connection and voice calls at the same time right???)

.. or 1.72.181 (for testing Blackberry connectivity which i think it will never work due to carrier restrictions in Italy).

.. what would happend?? Would my unit become locked again to O2 carrier ???

Or ..?? What are other possible problems ??

Which version would you reccomend among the above two ??

I need a link to download version 1.72.187. Cannot find it anymore on to www.sourceo2.com.

Before doing anything stupid i ask you since you all seem to be quite aware of the necessary steps involved with the upgrade/downgrade of O2 XDAs.

I don't know the history of my unit.. i do not know if it was locked to O2 UK or not... no idea... as i said i got it second hand.

I have also already downloaded the unlock tools just in case i need them in the future.

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Carlo (Rome, Italy)

changing rom dont lock the phone
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
Okay im new and im looking around to find out how to flash a new rom. So i see the thing is i need

- rom manager

- flash clockworkmod recovery.

- press the button to install new rom

**( of course we are supposed to press the button to backup first. whatever i dont need backup if i have everything on dropbox and netqin sync and from there i can have everything i want at any other phone too. i dont care for settings , they are a matter of 10 minutes to download and setup the apps ).

So i try this thing.

1) I go root my phone and i get the first error. SystemBackupTest fails to run. yes i have done it properly according to the guide.

Ok whatever i think. maybe the guide is too old and jelly bean 4.1.2 20b has issues with that apk. i search around and i find the other way to root my phone. i download this file : http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/50635135/file.html, i go into recovery mode and i press root. success! im rooted.

2) since im new i test it out. i start installing whatever i find in google play and start tweaking things :)) then i return it back to stock and do other tweaks. now i search for new rom. i read guides here about several rom. i now try it.

i install rom manager , i follow the guide and get error

boot image signature

​

. ok i press vol down and power button and restart. i check around here a bit about this error. i found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241754. so i see that i have to unlock the bootloader. so i find this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190326. i follow the guide and i fail because i get a message that unlock is denied. searching around i find another thread that sais ROOT MANY ANDROID. oke im confused. i cant find a proper guide around. can we make it a little easier ? can we delete the oldest threads-roots- .. whatever and keep the new ? can we clean up or sort things up please ? the older members of course are pro to all this but the newer ones we dont understand anything. we need one week only to understand where we have to click next......

So for me and any other new guy later on, what do we have to do ? where is a working guide to root the lg optimus 4x v20b and if there is not , then where is a proper guide to unlock the bootloader ? thanks............

[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
1) This is the "original development" section. Read the rules to find that your topic should NEVER be here. (How could you even post here? Is the 10-posts-limit disabled?)

2) Don't do anything unless you know what you're doing

3) Use search function (I see you did, but still a lot to learn you have)

4) Don't use Rom Manager

5) Use search function to find out why 1-4 apply.

6) Extra hint: There's an index on the 1st page of "general section".
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
that didnt help at all....... thanks for moving my thread here, maybe i got dizzy after so much reading and post it there but im still searching ........ Since 8 hours im searching , following guides and restoring ...

i have lg optimus 4x p880. os: 4.1.2 - 20b. can someone tell me at least one way to install a whatever rom ?

dont tell me follow the guide or things like that , im following them. just show me links what to do and be sure for those links that will work.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Ok, I'll help you. There's a thread called "unlock-relock tool". Use it once and you're unlocked. Then get TWRP from the TWRP thread. Install it via fastboot. Then download the rom you like, boot to recovery and flash it. That's all.

And for root: There's two different ways for ICS or JB. Use the appropriate one. (4.2.1 is JB, in case you didn't know.)

I don't have the links st hand, but there's this index linked in my signature...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
again i dont understand. the unlock relock tool thread , sais to install the unlock apk , install terminal , go to su root and paste the echo command from the unlock app. noone show us what to do. i get fffffdfffefeffed from the unlock. so what do i do with that to unlock my bootloader?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexxon:
I think that's enough to say. I bet yo have internet access so you can search the whole web. Trust me, you will find the answers to all the questions you asked here because they are already answered.

As already stated very often in this forum, xda is not a noobie helpdesk so search and read yourself.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
you mean this forum is only for developers and for developers asking help from developers about how to make their new custom rom ? if thats it , then im sorry ill find another forum to ask help. Maybe you are SO pro that you cant help someone without knowledge to unlock the bootloader. But i dont even see anyone else answering too. Maybe indeed the bootloader of 4.1.2 20b cant be unlocked yet and instead you tell me keep searching. Anyway i didnt put up this thread to fight with random people. I need help. If u actually cant help then thank you ill get help from someone that can. its the help section after all , not the world war z.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Hey, I told you how to do it. It's not my fault if you don't understand the tutorials or the software that the devs provide. It's all written down, maybe you should read it after having some sleep ;)
