[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuggel:
It seems to be working great now. Updates disable, holo launcher installed and no more freeze ups (part of why I wanted to redo it). Thank you very much LinearEquation for your help once again. Now my 2 year old can go back to watching youtube and learning educational gem like saying WTF over and over (yes, mom loved that one..of course it was my fault).

Another reason why I wanted to restore it was that I had a freetime membership for a while, a ton of apps and books were downloaded but when the membership was canceled the apps remained it just said "you don't own this" when you tried to use it...very frustrating to a young kid.

Is there a way to make the SCH-I545 Verizon S4 work on the T-Mobile Network with LTE? Which does have the LTE Band 4 on the phone.

I have the HSPA+ working but it does not send MMS... Only my Voice, Text, and Data work.

Are the physical radio the same or just software locked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you got it working that much I'd say it's possible.

What APN settings are you using?

Are you running the stock Verizon TouchWiz ROM?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThunderBob:
Only other thing i could see is that yours lists

Cant find that on mine.

And what is the 'Bearer' setting set to?

I have 3 options LTE,eHRPD and Unspecified

Mine is set to Unspecified.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicotheandroidguy:
Download tell info from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aebeinroth.telinfo and go to device info and change it to LTE/GSM auto prl.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JesseR86:
This also did not help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JesseR86:
I do not have a MMS protocol setting, T-Mobile website show it there default settings. My Bearer is set too Unspecified

also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
I didn't test MMS, SMS or anything, but see my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397984&page=2 LTE worked fine for me last night. Mind you, I'm on an MDK (Loki-able) phone w/ ME7 ROM and EMJ7 radio flashed. I used APN Manager Pro to edit my APN, I did nothing but add the fast.t-mobile.com APN, and it worked immediately with a T-Mobile $30/mo data prepay SIM.

I'll be traveling today and might be carrying several phones/SIMs to play with. If I have a chance, I'll give MMS a shot. You definitely need your MMSC set properly or MMS isn't going to work, though, I can tell you that much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] J_Gunz:
I'm experiencing the same problem, same phone. I also do not have an MMS protocol setting available to change. I'm guessing this is the issue. Does anyone know how to change the MMS protocol on this particular phone? Or is there another issue at hand here? Thanks for the help.

So what it says there. I can't figure out what is making it open.

I Believe when your on your main page and press the home button it goes to the magazine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HughesNet:
Yes. That is is the settings of the app if you look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrufokid:
When you guys figure it out let me no ... it's really getting on my nerves
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ramirez3805:
They did lol. They are right. It seems though some apps aren't recognized correctly, for example, Messenger. It might think it's on the home screen, which it is, but if I'm writing on Messenger to someone my instinct tells me to press home to get out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] quad150db:
Just go into "my magazine" and open settings and disable "open using the home key"
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
can any of the app developers for Sony Smartwatch (2) tell me if it's possible to add watch faces to the watch?

the digital one on the SW2 is really too simple, with just the time showing, it really needs at least the date to be added
[Sony Smartwatch 2] jonstatt:
Hmm...I think you missed there a several choices built in to the watch. Go to the settings app on the watch scroll down and you will see the option to change the watch faces. Some include the date
[Sony Smartwatch 2] AndyGarton:
But they aren't digital.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
exactly, there are 4 "analog" watch faces and 1 digital and i want a digital one with date

what i really want to know is, can only Sony add watch faces?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] AndyGarton:
Other developers can, although I don't know if they can do the proper "always on" effect. There is an app in the store now which claims to add more faces, although it isn't yet "optimised" for the SW2. For me though it just crashes on startup.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Danny-B-:
It seems its built into the firmware ... watch faces on the market are just WApps, they burn far too much battery to be useful IMO.

If we can hack the firmware, i'm fairly sure we can make our own watch faces, but i've no idea where you can even download the firmware to start with, let alone modding it.

Im interested how the display works, does anyone have proper info on this ? It looks to me like the display has two parts to it. one being the monochrome traditional style LCD and the other being the colour LCD ... or am i barking up the wrong tree ?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
it's a transflective LCD, without backlight in low light its hardly readable, but in direct sunlight it reflects light in a certain way so it gets readable again

inside you can ofcourse use the backlight
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TulpiX:
Hello

So does this mean there is no way to have custom watchfaces that are always on. Like on the pebble?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] FrozenIpaq:
At this time, yes.

As an owner of one myself I'm not too bothered by that fact. I've actually found the black analog face to look quite nice on the device - and I'm picky about my watch faces. My only complaint about the watch faces though is the fact that the digital watch face does not include a date/day indicator - it just displays the time.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TulpiX:
Thanks for your answer.

I find this a little disappointing.

Always found that the ability to change watchfaces makes a smartwatch so interesting (next to notificationsbof course)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
i've tweeted something nice to [MENTION=1346574]SonyXperia[/MENTION]

any decent digital watch can show a time AND date, and a smartwatch can't?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Antonjr123:
Hi,

I was looking for the same thing: A digital watchface with at least the date. I was personally a bit disappointed with he analog watchface as is not nearly as sharp as on the picture that are used as publicity.

I found that the first smartwatch had such as watchface), but I'm not sure if this SW can be installed on the Smartwatch 2.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] MikeKKLau:
Me too....
[Sony Smartwatch 2] vincexda:
I notice on the box it shows a digital clockface with day and date....this isn't available on the watch itself!! Good grief, In this respect its a step back from the old one!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Tonio78370:
This is when graphics win over functionality :D

Still you must admit that this is a beautiful watch compared to the first version plastic thingy...

[Sony Smartwatch 2] Antonjr123:
There is a similar discussion going on on the Sony Forum, entiltled "SmartWatch 2 - shake to highlight?, battery life?" (as a fairly new user I can not post an external link here yet).

Thommo writes:

I'm almost pretty sure that the watch in that video is a 1st production demo which had that feature on it - After looking round other sites which have tested the watch after official release this feature was removed apparently due to battery life as the watch would always be on thus battery life would not be that long, I'd like to also point out that on the demo versions there were more clock faces and a walkman widget - The walkman widget as far as I'm led to believe had a pixelation problem and was removed although the packaging still has an image of the widget on it

I'm curious to see if these functionalities will be brought back in as they are clearly printed on the box of the watch.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] obender:
Well, those are not native apps, meaning it will not act the same way as embedded watchfaces do.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] the_uker:
Me too'ed.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] gargamel26l:
mine shows the date

Is my unit different or I didn't understand your posts?

My SW2 has 5 watch faces: digital, black, white, black with date and white with date. The date is shown only the day, not the month or year, in a small square at the 3:00h position. As if it was a traditional watch.

I attach a photo
[Sony Smartwatch 2] copualt3:
I think The Op is talking About the pic On the Box..it's. Digital numbers With day and month.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
yes i'm talking about the digital one, i wanted a digital version with time and date

then i saw two posts, one saying there's a picture on the box that shows a watch face, digital, with time and date, and the other one saying it's also shown in a video

this is a photo of the box:

and the youtube video, check 1:16

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUi1Ai7rPj0

the video also shows the "wake on shake" function, which has also been removed
[Sony Smartwatch 2] vincexda:
And me!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Usty:
Shake to highlight or wake up would be by far the best feature to be added. I own a pebble and it's the one thing I constantly use.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TulpiX:
I think custom watchfaces is a must for smartwatches.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
and with rumors of the google nexus smartwatch being released "rather sooner than later", they better hurry (assuming it's better then the Galaxy Gear and maybe/probably better then the Smartwatch 2)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rpedroso:
Custom Watch for Smartwatch

I purchased this for my Sony Smartwatch2 and it works great, lots of options and customizations. Go to the play store and search for it
[Sony Smartwatch 2] beginner:
what did you purchase?

The faces I saw are only app running. It is not possible to replace original face.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] seamonkey420:
hmmm.. perhaps my first app/coding project..

well.. i think i may start looking into developing for the Sony Smartwatch2 since software sells hardware and right now there isn't that much it seems. i hope to get my sw2 this week along w/my Z1 and hope to have an example sw2 app by next week.

main thing i am looking to do is to create watchfaces in the firmware. we'll see how this goes considering i have very little coding experience (i'm a scripter type; batch files, powershell, vbs). i'll post any updates or test apks on these boards.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
Sony keeps forwarding me, so i posted it on the talk.sonymobile site as well

i'll keep at it, because i think these are all issues that should be fixed
[Sony Smartwatch 2] chongbh:
Yes, I love this watch face as well which my SmartWatch 1 has it. :good:
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Captain Splash:
My concern is Sony, they are rubbish at software and firmware. Why they ha e not made an app that you can create watchfaces with that can be synced to the Sw2 is a mystery to me. Surely that is a given. I've got a Google TV box that they have done nothing with despite having the SDK for Android 4+ for over 6 months. I suspect this watch will be left hanging with poor support. The xperia forums are laughable. They recommended an app to me that didn't even work on SW2! The Sony apps are also pretty poor. "watchit" is the best app and that's free and much better than Sony's efforts.

I love the concept of a smartwatch and the 2 weeks I've had mine it's been genuinely useful so I know I'll always have one now. That said as soon as Google announce there's this thing will be on eBay. Google know how to do software.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
i have the same concerns actually, such a shame they spoil a nice product like this with poor software :rolleyes:

i have the sony google box as well (nsz-gsz7), rather useless, only things i use it for are youtube and netflix

i will keep trying for the next couple of weeks to get decent answers concerning watch faces and such, but indeed, if google announces one and it does have all those things like watch faces etc, mine will be sold as well
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bendavosvilla:
Jarlsx I would be interested to hear how you get on with Sony regarding answers because all the smartwatch 2 owners I've spoken to have expressed the same concerns about watch faces and software.

phones: htc one running viperone 3.0 viperone stock kernel

nexus 4 running cm10.2 nightlys, galaxy s3 i9300 running ultimaRom 15.0 boeffla 3.0 kernel.

Tablet: nexus 7 stock
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Canadian DJ:
If we were able to access the files within the watches system files we could customise an image and put it back as if it were a standard watch face?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
they're not in any hurry answering questions i'm afraid

at first i tried to contact them through facebook, they said i had to contact my local Sony service, so i emailed them, no response

went back to facebook, they asked if i could send them my questions and they would pass them along:

"Our higher level of support will relay this information to the proper department"

then they asked me to post the same info on Sony Community, so i did that, exactly a week ago

on wednesday i got a reply, telling me to reach out to Sony Mobile:

"Please reach out to our colleagues at Sony Mobile for further assistance with your question. You can reach them at this site: http://talk.sonymobile.com/. Thanks!"

so i did that as well, post exactly the same info, which got a couple of replies, but nothing from Sony

on saturday i sent them a message through facebook again, that i wasn't getting any replies

answer:

"Hey Jarl! There could be a high volume of inquiries, but I'm sure that we'll get to your feedback as soon as our teams review them. We appreciate your patience!"

if i don't have answers by the end of the week i'm going to stalk them again through facebook etc
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bendavosvilla:
JarlSX Thanks for sharing you're progress. Once you've tried again could you please share how you get on but if still no joy I wonder if we got other smartwatch 2 owners to hound them they would finally listen.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
well, i guess the best way would be to post our concerns on facebook and everyone reply to it, maybe that will get their attention
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bendavosvilla:
I don't really use Facebook but later on I'll have a look on Google + and post something there.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] Geoffxx:

[Sony Smartwatch 2] Geoffxx:
I'll hazard a guess that there is about to be a totally new SW released by Sony and they have dropped the ball with this one - the project manager should be sacked

The sooner the Japanese realise the value of credibility and reputation then we will see a Sony that opens it's eyes to the world of marketing it's technology properly

What happened to Nokia - once the worlds leading mobile phone - they thought correctly the iphone was a myth but underestimated the hype and dropped the ball

It's simple things like having a global warranty were Sony fail - they are in a global market they need to realise that - as for SM2 - they need to fix it, there are far too many people/customers complaining and a lot of those got the SM2 free but that is not the point - credibility and reputation are the point even if the SM2 was a free bonus

[Sony Smartwatch 2] vincexda:
Amazing isn't it, a LOT of their publicity material shows watchfaces that physically aren't on the final product. The weird thing was the SW1 had only a few faces at the start, but was eventually updated to have a reasonable number, so they KNOW this is what people want, so releasing such a sad little selection on the SW2 won't help sales (I wonder if any have been returned due to the fact that the picture on the box isn't actually on the device!).
[Sony Smartwatch 2] wixi:
Not fake. The previous versions of the firmware had some other options in regards to watchfaces. We will have to wait and I am sure they will update, just like what they did with Smartwatch1.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Nimche:
for sure. It is weird that Sony advertised it and pull it out, but its SONY.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
yep, check the photo of the box and the demo video i (re)posted on page 3, the watch had that watch face, had "shake to wake"

why the watch face was removed remains a mystery to me, the shake-to-wake was maybe removed because of runtastic (or apps like that)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] hurdlejade:
do not justify disabling shake-to-wake due to other apps. it could be simply turned off when runtastic is running.

stupid sony. we just have to wait for update.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] cfchong:
i may be wrong but i think sony is having problem with the sensors and battery life. presuming that they r disabling the sensors to provide for longer battery life until they figure out how to solve the issue.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] jetset:
Regardless of any updates on the SM2, when competitors have already overtaken the market, I'm so disappointed by not delivering as advertised.

I kind of relied on the music widget!!

The double tap or shake to wake, as well as other watchfaces would've been nice. It shouldn't even be an effort for Sony to add a watchface. I can't think of a reason why they pulled it.

Also the camera app is unusable laggy.

Based on past experiences this disappointment adds up where I won't buy Sony products again. But I still hope for support at least for the watch.

They already lost the TV market and substantial shares in other entertainment sectors ... It's sad and the lack of management is frustrating!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mghtymse007:
arg...sony, sony, sony....

Had the sw2 for a few weeks now. Overall disappointed. As noted, things like widget support, additional watch faces (like the one ON THE BOX) are just a start for me. When incoming notifications get heavy, noticed considerable lag. The few apps on play dont work, partially work or are incompatible with many phones. Watch permanently disconnects after any other BT device is used. In an age of 500+PPI displays being being announced, out of Japan...no less, Sony gives us this???? But yet on box, official video, advertisements, etc... watch looks entirely different. How can they (tech co's)

keep

getting away with this "sell the product, worry about functions later", or my fav, "xda will fix it" attitude.

I digress, anyways, as a early adopting consumers willing to pay TOP dollar for new tech, we should be the ones that get, AT LEAST, what we THINK we are buying... not combing xda for tidbits of updates and customizations.

My three cents. Anyone else noticed the lag or disconnects?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] themissionimpossible:
A few people in Italy have posted the frequent disconnection problem.

All those cases resulted in a defective smartwatch that was replaced by the seller without problems.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] hurdlejade:
my sm2 regulary disconnects, but automatically reconnects. really annoying, cause when connection is lost watch vibrate, but shows nothing on screen.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] themissionimpossible:
Such a behavior in Italy has been generally considered a defect and those smartwatches have been always replaced.

Consider the possibility to ask for a replacement.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] hurdlejade:
i have to find out if that's fault of the watch, or the custom rom i'm using it (slimbean). i'm having issues with brand new pair of bluetooth bose headphones, so i think it's bluetooth drivers in the rom. still looking for solution..
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mghtymse007:
dont think its the rom

Had watch for more than 14 days, told to call oem. Just got off phone with Sony mobile. Seems to be common with LG & HTC phones. Admitted to software compatibility issues as well. "However, Sony is hard at work and will be releasing an update sometime within the year"... Blah, blah, blah....

Whenever I use my headset or car's handsfree, I have to cycle watch then phone BT to reconnect. Constant and persistent random disconnects through out the day.

Wow... And this is Sony. Because of this, I ordered a cheap watch from SmartQ Tech. Called Z-watch. They say they have these issues worked out... we'll see... should have on Saturday. Will do review under "other watches".
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Canadian DJ:
The sensor is not disabled, if you set the watch on the table for a while the screen will go blank and as soon as you move the watch the screen comes back on.
