[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
Unofficial review of the new Samsung Galaxy Gear after five days of usage:

Pros:

1. Stylish design based on high quality material (sapphire glass, brushed stainless steel and high quality rubber)

It's simply the best looking smart watch in the market place now!

2. Fantastic display with high enough resolution

3. Great notifications on your wrist (vibration alert really works well when the device is on your wrist) for Emails, Kakao Talk and SMS messages, Gmails (via Email app)

4. Really handy 1.9MP camera readily available for snap shots and 15-sec video with decent quality

5. Convenient way to make phone calls while using both hands in a speaker-phone mode, without picking up the phone

6. Timer/Stop Watch/Voice Memo readily available on your wrist

7. Custom clock face designs to your liking (WatchStyler app allows you to create your own custom clock face using photos, picture, clip art,...etc.) Neat!

8. Relatively comfortable to wear

9. Works well without any lags

Cons:

1. Limited number of 3rd party app support yet (time will solve this issue)

2. Battery life is good for one full day's use only (acceptable but would be nice to have more than a day's batter life)

3. Only water resistant IP55 rating (acceptable but water proof would be nicer)

4. Expensive (relatively speaking) @ $299 ($150 or less would be more acceptable)

Improvements that would make this even more useful immediately:

1. Calculator app (Software) (possible via ADB push)

2. Need on-screen keyboard to compose quick replies or quick message templates (SW)

3. Compass (SW/HW)

4. Direct photo share options to Facebook (SW)

5. Sound Off option on Camera setting (SW, can cover the speaker holes for now)

6. Coin Fllip app (SW) (possible via ADB push)

7. Skype/Google Voice calling apps (SW)

8. Headline news flash app (SW)

9. More professional clock designs

As you can see the needed improvements are mostly software changes that can come with time, either via Samsung or via 3rd party developers.

All in all, this is a great first generation smart watch from Samsung that delivers all the basic functions required and has a potential to be much more. This device reminds me of the first Galaxy Note launch- mostly criticized but still found a loyal following mass. I think this product will find good acceptance among many Samsung smartphone owners. More positive comments are starting to flood into many forums already.

I personally like the vibrating notifications on my wrist so much.

I don't think I will ever miss my wife's SMS messages any longer! :P

It's so convenient to glance over the watch face to see what message just arrived without picking up the phone.

Possible future enhancements that would nice to have:

1. NFC-based payment option (i.e. Google Wallet) using the phone

2. Front facing camera for Skype video call

3. Replaceable wrist band
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Adamkopo:
Nice review
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Limeybastard:
Agree with your price point.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BrianAnim:
I'm glad you mentioned ADB push for 3rd party apps in there.

For those interested I've updated the sideload apps program for windows and you can download it from my server:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
Thanks for the sideloading app.

That can come in handy!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lyall29:
Does it really have sapphire glass? That's great if it does, it means I won't need a screen protector. I ordered one from skinomi before I saw this. I assumed that it was gorilla glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
I am on day 4 and this beauty has exceeded all my expectations.

Email and texts coming through w no issues.

Camera pixs are better than I expected.

Look and feel of an expensive watch.

Was able to get it for $210 so that makes it even better.

Don't care about tiny apps in such a small display.

Overall, 4.5 stars out of 5.

Response from people who have seen it can not believe what all it can do. Unfortunately they don't have Samsung phone.

Recommendations:

1- Lower price to about $150-$200

2- open phone up to work any Android brand phone and sales will skyrocket.

Hi guys,

I have just got my new K-JAM (ROM 1.1.9.3 - 9/16/05, Radio 01.01.10, extROM 1.1.9.104), and I am delighted so far.

I have also read a lot about how to remove the antivirus software from the extended rom, etc. On my device, I didn't have this problem at all. I simply used the "Remove Programs" function to remove the antivirus, Backgammon, and also Skype of I wish.

In any case, the Antivirus was not running on my device even before being uninstalled, because I replied "no" to the request for downloading virus signatures. This has made the antivirus software completely inactive. This sounds to me like an easier solution for removing the antivirus software.

On my device, ClearType works in Landscape too, out of the box, without touching the registry.

Have I got a newer sw version or what?

Hope this helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
some of the early release did not show the uninstall for the antivirus,

there is a fix for this on the i-mate web site

That have solid status bar (non transparent)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduds:
You can use the Xposed Framework with Xblast Tools to get it.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d14gvn:
Status bar is in solid black in non-modified CM 10.1

why are you asking that?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
Umm... Sorry

I think its not status bar

It is notification part

The one that appears when you swipe down from top of screen
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
That is not transparent by default too.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
No, all the notification drawer is kinda transparent

Except on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" theme for cm10.1

Pure android look with solid black notification drawer would be good, just as how 4.1 of Motorola is
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goretss:
who can make the status bar transparent?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroenvk94:
Anyone who knows about editing .xml files...

It's not that hard.

What do you want transparent? Statusbar or notification drawer?

I hope I've helped as I don't have the time, nor the energy to do it myself :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rchapoteau:
I just recieved my Bear Motion Premium Folio Case that I ordered from Amazon I paid 10 for it but it looks like they lowered the price to 5. Its more of a temporary wallet case for me until my Zenus case arrives i another week or 2. Since I'm going to New York Comic Con this week I really felt like I needed a temporary case just in case.

I have some photos up here if you want to check them out. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/rchapoteau/library/Bear Motion Premium Folio case
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnexplainedBacon:
Hi all,

Phone was plugged in overnight, though it doesn't seem to reflect that here. That being said, I am still mystified by this battery life chart. Any ideas???

Thanks

Charger probably a dud
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JoJo2211:
Just received my AT&T note 3... first thing I noticed right away, before even comparing it to my I9500 S4, is how terrible the speakers sounded! I then whipped out my S4 and sure enough the speakers are actually WORSE on the Note 3 than on the S4... this is really disappointing!! Even my Note 2 had better speakers than the S4 so to hear this note 3 with even worse speakers than S4 is just sickening...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jakestash:
Cool story bro.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] stevieraveon:
This has been pretty much brought up by everyone. I agree, very disappointing, and yes I do use the speakers often. I travel a lot for work and will use the phone in the bathroom while showering/getting ready, speakerphone for con calls, etc.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] americasteam:
Mine sounds perfectly fine. You got a special edition that has more than one speaker?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JoJo2211:
If it came with dual speakers it would sound better, I think.:confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] americasteam:
Touche. ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dachness:
My speakerphone distorts on any volume 75% or higher. I will be exchanging my phone at AT&T as soon as they get a black one in stock which is on its way to the store.

I am hoping the replacement resolves the distortion/crackling sound.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Banggugyangu:
Does anyone actually purchase a cell phone for the audiophilia of the onboard speakers?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JoJo2211:
No but it SHOULD be better than the PREVIOUS version of the phone it is replacing. Right?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Banggugyangu:
If it weren't for notifications and ringtones, I wouldn't even know my phone HAD an external speaker... And you can EQ the speaker to sound better (or worse, whichever you prefer).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] srtpusher:
i do wish it had a better speaker. mine, too, distorts over 75%. i use the phone speaker and it seems silly that a flagship device not spring for a little better speaker.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dscline:
Well, I do purchase phones to talk on, and I often use the speakerphone to talk. So yeah, speaker quality is non-trivial to me. But with that said, at least mine is at least as good or better than the Note 1 that it replaced. Not great, or even good, but passable as long as I'm not trying to understand what's on the other end while in a loud place. But it would be nice to have a loud, clear speaker, for once, that was usable in more situations.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JoJo2211:
Man I can't STRESS this enought but these speakers a JOKE. I just got a message on my Note 3 and it sounded like it came from a TIN CAN. My S4 makes a more manlier sound than this JOKE of a speaker. I love the phone though, just wish they IMPROVED on the speaker from the LAST generation of the note line (note 2).

Speaker rating:

Note 2 > Note 1 > S4 > S3 > Note 3

Note 3 sux THAT much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikefly562:
Since I use my phone for business use, including as a speaker phone in a conference with other coworkers, a phone with a bad speaker is a no go for me. Looks like I will need to pass on the Note 3 and keep using the Note II.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] monsieurtalbot:
Hmm, this is weird, because I had my Note 2 all kinds of tweaked out, and though it was louder with aftermarket kernel and mods, I definitely hear more clarity in the Note 3 speaker... Did they change sound card manufacturers?

No complaints from me...

The headphone output is DEF improved over the Note 2...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Naddict:
OK, please take this conversation to the sticky thread.

Yes, you should be able to flash any of the current radios and keep the one you like best. I'm on T-Mo as a carrier, but am now using the latest ATT radio from their OTA update released about yesterday.

Hello everyone. his is my second post. I think the first one is in the wrong spot. Can I delete it?

I have searched for info based on my phone and tried to follow all the steps from several sources but I seem to be having huge problems either locating the correct files or just getting the process to work....

Here is what im trying to do.

I recently rooted my phone using twrp. (***tampered*** ***unlocked*** etc.

I have been having minor issues with my phone since and want to unroot back to stock.

I have downloaded new firmware based on my cid and model but nothing has been working.

Long story short I need help unrooting step by step. I just cant seem to get it to work from the tutorials in this forum and a few other sources I have found.

I cant seem to find an ruu for my phone but I did find a nandroid. Either way im doing something wrong because ive tried both methods with no luck.

Please help, this is causing me a lot of stress and I would appreciate any help that could be offered. Like finding the exact file I need.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mailboy1412:
since TMobile uses higher frequency (shorter wavelength) bands 1700/2100 and 1900, the signal can't penetrate to basement. I live in a apartment and TMobile signal is super weak while ATT is always at constant 2 bars. When I'm outside, TMobile signals are always good.

T-Mobile Pros: new and better tech of 4G LTE so faster speed, very fast HSPA+ as backup, wifi calling on all Android phones.

T-Mobile Cons: bad signal in obstructed area

The reason I'm using T-Mobile is because it is a lot cheaper.

PS. I love my Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
I have 1 bar in my apartment and the speeds are great

2-4 bars on the first floor at work - given that 4G LTE is stronger downtown and as I go up the floors...it gets even better. I do not have a basement so I do not know about that.

I am not sure what edge is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] damedolla2:
I live in Charlotte nc and I pretty much have 4g everywhere I go! I work at the airport and get the fastest download speeds here. When I leave the Charlotte area I pretty much lose 4g which means I pretty much don't have data but I can still make calls. I went to Myrtle Beach over the weekend and couldn't get a data signal over 2g during the drive to save my life but I still prefer their unlimited coming from verizon. the signal in Charlotte is the same if not better. But If you travel alot you may not want to switch. I don't vacate to often so I don't mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
I'd like to know why they run their EDGE network at full blast? Do they do that with LTE yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] imtjnotu:
Indoors I get good signal... In a hospital building now on the 4th floor with 4 above me and I'm still getting 28mbps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
The lower the Mhz the better penetration power, however the worse sound quality. That what I was taught in college.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] janjannsen99:
I'm in Charlotte too. I get 4g everywhere and lte pretty much everywhere seems like the south side has the fastest lte speeds. Upwards of 36 down near Archdale
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
Ok, I understand how the signal works, but why do I get 5 bars of EDGE at my house when I could force the phone to HSPA only and barely get 1??? The tower has been completely upgraded to HSPA/LTE. I just with it preferred 1900 HSPA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
At work I get one bar with LTE in my breakroom. However I get 4 to 6Mbps. On H+ I get 3 to 4 bars and get 5Mbps. Right outside the door and a few feet away 3 to 4 bars LTE and 20 to 30Mbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gr8Danes:
I'm in Minnesota and just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile after giving them a test run for a month. Overall, no difference between the two in coverage in the metro area. Haven't ventured out too far though. My dad goes south for the winter and has said the coverage has surprised him (he switched with me to T-Mobile). Glad I made the switch, now just waiting til next month to move the rest of my lines.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] geeserver:
I just left VZ for the same reasons, overpriced & data taxi. VZ did get better signal in some areas but their 3G CDMA network is slow compared to T-Mobile's HSPA+ network here in Phoenix, AZ. I have only have had T-Mobile service for a week now and like it better over VZ already. UNLIMITED!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rob the plumber:
Around the metro Detroit area, data speeds are consistent and very fast. No problems for me ever with calls either. Although if you get out into the sticks, data slows to edge speeds, but calls have been fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
I'm not out on the sticks. I just know they're not very consistent. But this time I actually am gonna try them out. See how they are for the 14 days then make the decision to move over my AT&T lines.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
It's really a no brainer. No matter how you look at VZW and ATT are going to have to change.

Tmobile is cheaper and has 2x the bandwidth as ATT, our 3G network as in HSPA+ is so fast that if you're going to watch movies and you suddenly don't have LTE, it won't stop to buffer because 3G is just as fast.

I paid 90$ for one line that was Unlimited everything Talk, Text, Web. 2.5GB of HotSpot. Regular insurance without Jump.

Now with three lines we pay 230$ same thing all unlimited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MistaSergio:
Just left Verizon as well - sick of those guys and being tied to them for two years at a time. Expensive - treats their vet customers like we're holding them back from something... its ridiculous

I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm pretty much all over the area - Northern Kentucky, Southeast Indiana - even Northern Ohio and really get 4G all the time. I see edge in transition to less populated areas - be it Highway or back roads but as soon as I get there - 4G! They're all dense focuses of people so not shocked that its true but pleasantly surprised that it tends to be 4G / wifi or edge. .. And edge seems to be decent. No hiccups going from one or the other and wifi calling is pretty amazing. Very happy about the switch
