Continued investigations GGW/HTC ONE

Thanks for the thanks!

Most of the above roms are 4.3. However, this seems to make no difference as I have now confirmed functionality on 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3.

The most stable rom, so far, is TrickDroid 8.0. Pretty much exactly the same r result as RayGlobe. Calls can be answered /rejected, speaker /mic are working (however, two ppl have complained about quality of my voice), call log works perfect, as does the contacts app. Find my gear /phone also works without a hitch.

I have tried multiple different ways to get s-voice to work. A couple of the roms have s-voice already built in. RayGlobe was the better rom in this respect... S-voice would run it evoked from the watch, but then went to "must agree to terms..." error (I had already agreed). But if you pressed the SV key on the phone, the watch mic takes the input.

Biggest issue... Last night when I very first got the gear.apk to install on the RayGlobe rom, I received an Gmail which was notified by the watch. Since then, I have yet to receive any notification, text/email/FB/twot etc on any rom.

The "settings" section of the Gear Manger is completely unusable. Every time I try to open settings, GM goes to black screen and crashes. My apps is pretty much the same.

All in all, I really don't care about s-voice... It would be nice to link it to G-now!?!? But if I can get the notification part working, and maybe figure out how to clean up the watch's microphone output... I would be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gidi:
Thankmyou very mch for the detailed info. I really want the Gear but do not lole the idea of exchanging mynHTC One for a Galaxy soething.

Your feedback is well appreciated.

Cold day in...

LOL!!! I agree! The day I trade my HTC for a Samsung... Margaritas will be served in hell!

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] clifford:
Hey man glad you could confirm my results .
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mghtymse007:
yeah! me too!

Dude! I was so close to giving up... After 14 installs, bricking my phone twice and wasting my entire day... I had enuf! Just then I got a text from a dev friend who listened to me rant and ***** about Samsung's management! (Seems to be a common discussion these days, hmmm) but, nonetheless, I felt better.

It wasnt long after that we found RayGlobe 8.0.

BTW, I don't have a Sprint phone that I can test with... Maybe u can answer these questions...

1 do you have ANY of the notification functions working?

2. Can you control your media player?

3 have to used it to make calls as a speaker phone? Do people complain of voice quality?

4. Can use Gear Manager's "settings" and/or "my apps"?

Thanx,

MM007
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] clifford:
No notification function..

Yes I could control my musuc from the watch

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

No sms notifications.

Yes you can control media

Yes I make calls almost exclusively from my gear

And I use the gear manager .. some times it force closes ..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PRTEQ:
Any updates on this? Any progress?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
This is great, although we need to try identify and isolate what exactly allows the gear to pair up on certain roms and why it doesnt on others.

If its simply a matter of the APK's the gear manager is requesting to install, We could simply install those manually iv managed to extract them from the gear manager apk if anyone is interested in trying.

We all realize that the touchwiz dependent features will require touchwiz obviously, in saying that tho theres no reason why they cant be replaced with third party applications in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mghtymse007:
still working...

So far I seem to have some notifications and s-voice working as long as the screen is on. Will not wake phone for entry. Getting closer but I think I could really use a seasoned Dev to get these APIs to link and function consistently
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mghtymse007:
Someone please...Need N3/Gear apk's...!!!

Does anyone know any of the devs from RayGlobe? This is the only rom I getting this error, "Need to agree to T&C". When you install the sv.apk, whether you run from phone or watch the first time, no T&C request.

I wonder if that is added back in, this ONE rom could work. This rom has shown the most functionality potential so far.

However, I am worried about the notifications. Very inconsistent. No one has yet to come up with any ideas. i have pretty much converted a ONE into an S3 with the apks installed. Weird using touch-wiz on an HTC.

I don't have access to a note 3. Here's my thought, can someone who has an N3 create a DL of the apks that gear attaches itself to. Mainly the notifications, s-voice, and weather. PLEASE.... Would really be a big help.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

I have access to all of these. I put them all on my htc One but they reference the wrong directory so notifications etc dont work. i need someone who can unpack, re-write, and repack some bits of the apks.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nrp31:
Hi,I am Planning to buy a Nokia Lumia 920 for my sister.She is upgrading from the Samsung Galaxy S1 I9000 and is inclined towards buying the 920 majorly because of the Camera.I also checked out the Lumia 925 but it is like $100 expensive than the 920 in my country.I have also read that after the Amber Update,The 920's camera outperforms the one on the 925.But I have a major concern before i buy the Lumia 920.I have read that the pictures produced from the camera, turn out to be yellowish and blurry with the Amber Update and also,some have reported the screen flickering issue on the 920.

So would you guys,the ones who use the 920,let me know whether these issues exist on your phone and whether it is wise to get the 920 over the 925?

Thank You :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] gee2012:
I personaly wouldn`t upgrade my 920 for a 925 as it offers little more than i have now. Also the 925 only has 16GB of storage instead of 32GB on the 920. So i would go for the 920 as they are basicaly the same imo. The 920 is also sturdier than the 925 and can handle drops better because of the build quality.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nrp31:
Thank You.And Can you give me some info about the camera and screen flickering issues?
[Nokia Lumia 920] gee2012:
The camera is great imo, the Nokia Pro Cam app (free) is available in the App Store and offers a lot of optimisation options for making the camera even better especialy for lowlight conditions. I haven`t had the screen flickering isssues ever myself so far so no problem with that.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nrp31:
Great! But the procam has some issues right?like when you click a picture it looks fine but when you go into the gallery and see it,it is a little yellowish and blurry?
[Nokia Lumia 920] gee2012:
Not realy noticable to me to be honest, my pics look natural and not blurry. Look here fore pics posted by users http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2443900.

Thanks Mate.I'll mostly Go ahead with the 920.I appreciate your help :)

[Nokia Lumia 920] nrp31:
Thanks For Your Help.I am actually getting the 920 at a very great price but I'm quite doubtful about choosing WP8 over android.Is it really worth getting it,considering the Lack of apps/games?
[Nokia Lumia 920] dxdy:
this not true... WP have good and enough games and apps... only problem (for most of people) is lack of pirated stuff ;) this "lack" is from period before 3 years and since then many apps come to WP OS...
[Nokia Lumia 920] Tbonenga:
Get the 925. I have both. Only 16GB sucks on the 925 compared to 32GB on the 920. Besides that the screen alone kills the 920.

The 925 has a BLACK SCREEN

The 920 has a GREY SCREEN

You will be shocked how much better the 925 looks. The 920 has wireless charging but it takes twice as long to charge. You can buy a wireless charging cover for the 925 though.

920 is HEAVY!!!!!!!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
The 925 was marketed as alower cost and lower quality hence the reduced weight alternative to the 920. The camera was made better but they cut every other corner. Also the current version of the 920 has a pitch black screen even when on and showing black as a color. Not sure where the previous guy got a grey screen from. Nokia marketed it as a lower cost alternative.

As the topic says, how to make HW overlays automatically disabled on boot? (it normally resets from development options after each reboot). Also, how to speed-up the screen waking time from standby? Screen takes about 2-3 secs to boot after pressing power button. I'm currently using latest pac-rom nightly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Visual360:
This just came in today for my Galaxy Note 3. Very well made, and it fits like a glove. All the cut-outs are perfectly aligned. Definitely worth the price I paid for it ($13.00). It's actually selling for $9.00 at Amazon right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Not all cutouts the one mic at the top is blocked off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Spovik:
Just got one of these today. Certainly improved the grip around the edges of the phone, but the hard plastic back made it more slippery than the stock textured back, making it harder to grab from pocket when edges couldn't be grabbed.

For what it is, it's decent for the price. Just not for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YourAntic:
Am guessing you mean the smaller hole to the right of the earphones, it looks like it is not blocked off on mine.

Excellent case, I agree! One of the few cases I was able to find and overnight in time since apparently no store in Houston had a case last week.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I assume you have 7 cut outs correct: spen, mic at bottom, speaker, usb, sensor on top, earphone jack, and mic at top.

I only have 6 cut outs I will upload pics later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JawjaBill:
I received my supcase today. I like it alot especially for $5 and some change. The middle cutout on the top is missing until I find the right size drill bit. I'll post some pics later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] digitalyosh:
Yeah looking at the new case that came in and the cutout for the top mic is missing. Will that cause any issues with phone calls? I guess a DIY job can resolve it but before doing so I was curious on the performance issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
here you go look at them and one from OP. SUPCASE and LUVVITT. Luvvitt case has 7 cut outs and Supcase only has 6 cut outs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YourAntic:
I see now, however in that case there must be 8 cutouts in the luvvitt and 7 on the supcase. Check the right side, at the bottom same side as the power button, there's a cut out there aswell.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mainstang:
I believe it will at the very minium cause issues with sound recording during video recording. When you do a video rub your finger over that port and you get the feed back like rubbing on a microphone.

Sent from my glitter pony!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah I just did a test video with the case on and I noticed that it's didn't sound all that great quality wise, if you listen closely the sound was in an out and that's because of the microphone at the top isn't able to work because it's being covered. When I did the second test video with the case of I had no issue at all sound quality was a little nicer and you can distinguish when I'm talking at the top of the microphone or if I'm using the bottom microphone, whereas the first video with the case on and you couldn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] frieked:
FYI for anyone else with the missing cutout. I bought mine on amazon and left a 1 start review since mine too was missing the top noise canceling mic hole. Literally within 5 minutes the seller had responded offering a replacement and less than 2 hours later I had a new tracking number for the replacement case. Crappy oversight but top notch customer service.

Thanks, just left my review.

I got my replacement yesterday with all of the proper cutouts and now I'm 100% happy with this case.

Edit: And for some reason another replacement came in the mail today (10/22) so I now have 3 of these cases, 1 of which is missing the top noise canceling mic cutout.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maximus96:
Anyone interested in buying an unopened black on black version?

After leaving a 1-star review for the lack of the top mic cut-out, supcase contacted me to send me a replacement with the proper cut-out. After receiving the replacement last week, I received another again yesterday. For some reason they sent me two. Customer service told me to keep it instead of mailing it back in exchange for changing my 1-star review.

So now I have an extra unopened one. PM me if anybody is interested.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
PM sent!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] twe90kid:
i returned the product. But wonder if they will send me replacements. HAHA
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
Got mine in today! Thanks [MENTION=5257211]maximus96[/MENTION]. Case fits really well, snug and not too bulky. Great corner protection and fits all around the beze really tight so none of it is exposed. The back is a little slippery though, might put a strip of XtremeGuard material so it has extra grip during one handed operation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chocu1a:
I got my replacement case a couple days ago. I ordered my Supcase before the N3 was released. After leaving my review on Amazon, they got a newer model out to me in 2 days.

Switching between this & the Diztronics.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maximus96:
I think I might spray a coat or two of clear or black plasti dip on the slippery back... Just have to figure out the best way to mask out the rubber part...

edit,

after two coats of black plasti dip the back is grippy...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
How is the Plasti Dip holding up? I've used Plasti Dip before and it tends to peel after sliding in and out of pockets a few times.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maximus96:
i ended up peeling the plasti-dip off the same night. i think i messed with it before it fully dried and cured. it was too grippy and lots of lint was stuck on it.

i placed three strips of scrap 3m film on the back instead. it works for me because that's where i normally touch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
I did the same thing with a piece of XtremeGuard material along with some black rubber feet. Surprisingly it still slides in and out of my jean/blazer pockets quite easily..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
I got the gray and clear one about 3 weeks back for my white n3. Love it for the most part and think it looks great. The two major gripes I have with it is 1. It doesn't sit perfectly on its back, the middle protrudes out a bit more than the ends causing a wobble when taping on it on a table. 2. After having it for a few weeks I've noticed the color is starting to wear and is developing a bit of a reddish hue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
hey anybody that has the supcase use it with a tempered glass screen protector? How does it fit and what do you have?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
I have a tempered glass screen protector with my SUPCASE. I got it for $8 on ebay. There's a thread on it here at the accessories section. It fits really well with the case. There's no gap in between the screen protector and the lip of the case.

Good to know, thanks. Got a pet film one on now, but I'm going to wait till cyber week/black friday to see if there are any good deals. I don't trust those $8 ones, my buddy got one and it wasn't actually tempered and got glass everywhere after shattering.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
I see, but was his screen affected?

Not initially, but he got one scratch on it taking the shards off. It was on his s4 though so maybe the note 3 ones are better.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzan:
Hi everybody,

I own Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc (LT15i) which no longer lives under the warranty time period. It became extremely slow, so I decided to flash a new ROM on it in attempt to see if that made it any faster. I rooted it and installed ClockworkMod Recovery on the phone and attempted to flash Xperia Ultimate HD 5.01 through CWM. The installation went perfectly fine, however after I did the reboot my phone doesn't get past the Sony Ericsson logo.

I've looked up all sorts of ways to fix soft bricked and bootlooped Arc's but none seem to work. When I try to use flashtool, I can't seem to be able to connect the phone to the computer and Windows comes up with "USB Device not recognized" and flashtool automatically aborts flashing. When I try to use PC Companion to repair the device, Windows doesn't recognize the device and neither does PC Companion. The same thing happens with Update Service.

I cannot enter flashmode, cannot get anywhere past the Sony Ericsson logo (including trying to access ClockworkMod Recovery) and cannot seem to get Windows to recognize the device. All drivers are installed both from Sony and flashtool.

Is there any other way I can recover my device? Thanks in advance for all help!

Hello,

I can pretty much understand your situation, but this is where we start to have a better understanding of our own device and learn from our mistake.

In fact if you want to use flash tool, you will need to prepare your PC to recognize your mobile, by means of installing appropriate drivers, commonly known as Google SDK drivers.

I shall resume somehow here and try to find a good link for you to read :cyclops:

1. Your PC need to have latest version of JAVA

2. Install Google SDK, choose appropriate drivers and apps to be installed

3.Install flashtool and appropriate devices drivers.

Try to follow this link :

1. Installation of ADB drivers and SDK : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1830108

2. Flashing Kernel and Rom. Be careful with compatibility and other issues, you always have surprises here ;)

The above link is for HTC if im not wrong, try searching for ARC you will find it, there are loads of tutorial posted on XDA..

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
The problem is that you have GB kernel, but using ICS ROM. These 2 do not work together.

Try another USB cable and/or USB port and try Flashtool/PC Companion again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzan:
Tried that. Still no results. I've also tried using fastboot, and yes I did install all the drivers as well as the Android SDK along with the Java DK. When I enter

fastboot devices​

:confused: I get no response... When I try to flash a kernel using

fastboot flash boot bootARC.img​

It says waiting for device forever. The phone is plugged in and the blue light is on. The screen is still off though. When I connect it in fastboot mode to Flashtool it has the same problem (doesn't recognize the device).

Would Sony be able to fix it for me if I handed it in? Even though my warranty has been void for over a year I could probably just pay for the repair. At this rate I doubt it's possible for me to fix it...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pren22:
Well that might be the issue,W8.I have W7 and XP never had a problem.

Did you try to run flashtool and connect the phone via usb(turn it off and just connect it don't hold any buttons,if that doesn't woek try turning it on and then connect it)-so that way flashtool might detect the device.Hope you'll get it to work.If nothing helps than try searching on google about these issues for win8.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O.C:
Did you increase your system and data partition into 419 MB and 440 MB? Because if you haven't you'll get a bootloop with Xperia Ultimate HD 5.01 since this rom needs that space. I read that you have to flash Arc S kernel to achieve this but im stuck at this point because the partitions won't change for me :/

To use fastboot, install the drivers by this method.

So this is what happened when i tried to update my att htc one phone. i went to att software update on setting ( not from update software Setting/About) it said no update is available( i guess its just not the right time for my phone although every forum i read says it's available) so i did the trick. I changed the date 3 days ahead and it worked, now i could download it. But it looked weird since the file size only 220ish mb. so i download it anyway.. after booting ( took about 5 minutes) i checked my software information. it's still 4.1.2 (what the @#$#), so i changed the date again to 2 days ahead the date i changed previously. and i checked again the att software update.. and yup there is a new software update. BUT the file size only 20ish mb.. but i did it anyway. check the software info again, still 4.1.2. move again the date 3 days ( total of 8 days), new download and still the file size is 230ish mb (bigger than the first one) still no change 4.1.2. and finally changed the date 2 days. taadaaaa.. 560ish mb. so if you have problem or try to force download, keep trying and change the date. it's 10-22-2013 now on my phone after the last update 4.3. and you can change back the time. hope this info is usefull.
