[Other SmartWatches] JarlSX:
the Omate TrueSmart isn't a no-brainer for everyone, it all depends on what you want from your (smart)watch

i have the smartwatch 2 now, but i wouldn't even call it a smartwatch, it's just a second display, the real magic happens on your phone and it can't do much without it

but that's fine with me, all i wanted from a smartwatch, when i first found out they existed, is:

1) it can act as a watch (duh :))

2) not be huge, preferably less then 10mm thick

3) display notifications coming from my phone (facebook/twitter/whatsapp/etc)

4) have a battery life of at least 3-4 days

5) be waterproof

that really hasn't changed, i don't need a watch to replace my smartphone

i'm not going to read email/news/etc or surf the wen on my watch, my Butterfly S is perfect for that, 5 inch 1080p screen, not even the Neptune Pine comes close

the sw2 does most of those things right, but it doesn't seem like Sony is too interested in making it a success, releasing it without options shown in presentations and even on the box it comes in

the latest update has solved some issues and some watch faces were added, but overall i'm not impressed

and a really big one: the fact it fell apart within 2 months

and it's happening quite a lot, plenty of posts on xda and sony mobile forum, some even reported it falling apart after 3 days!

that's why i think for me the HOT Watch is a 'no-brainer', it does all those 5 things, with as added bonus, the private call function. i'm really looking forward trying that out

maybe in couple of years, smartwatches will replaces smartphones, but that will need flexible displays and much better batteries
[Other SmartWatches] vectron:
I can only speak from an experience of reading about Gear and SW2, and having TS for a few days ;)

Gear and SW2 will have all the notification working as expected tethered to your phone, and rooting Gear will give you a true android experience, although battery life is not that good. Plus, try to go outside with Gear shoveling snow (we just got our first storm in NJ), and getting it wet - forget 'bout it. Proprietary charger is not ideal either. Sony SW2 sounds like having a lot of build quality issues; it's alarming when I read posts on xda about screen coming off, etc. It should work fine with notifications (I talked to Augmented SW Pro developer - it's fully supported), you get some level of waterproof protection, regular micro-usb charging, and you can run some apps on it, but obviously it's not a true Android experience. I also like an idea of time always being displayed on SW2.

True Smart, hard to form an impression yet since I just installed Loki's ROM and can only use it as a mini android wifi device on my wrist. I don't have GSM sim card, on Verizon with CDMA, and personally think it makes no sense to drain your battery with 3G or even wi-fi use. It is a stand alone mini android watch so you can run different apps, browse the web, check emails, type on it, etc. But since I have a developers edition sent to me for review purpose, the software is not currently available. I mean, there is no way for me to have bt connection to my Note 2 to push notifications - the #1 purpose of any smart watch as a remote display of your out-of-sight phone. At the current moment, I can't properly review it until the final release of firmware and companion phone app is available. In general, the camera is really useful as POV action video cam, but awkward to take pictures. Bracelet is made out of a very cheap rubber material. The watch is a bit bulky, but it feels VERY solid inside of metal casing. Display is responsive, and the issues I'm seeing (like sometime back swipe from within apps doesn't respond as Back android key) probably due to firmware issues. Once a final firmware/software is released - this smartwatch going to SHINE!!! But until then, I will wait before writing my review. It's funny how a lot of people pre-ordered Dev edition in hope to receive it asap, but getting it earlier doesn't mean they can start enjoying it to full potential right away.

[Other SmartWatches] haybill:
Interesting to read these posts--in the light of current Non-News from Omate--I realise that [MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2521422]lokif[/MENTION]ish have both got their hands on versions of the TrueSmart but, most of the rest of us are still waiting to form any sort of opinion.

Some folks talk about 'asking for refunds' based on some negative feedback, delivery date shenanigans, etc.. but I am still waiting, fairly patiently, to really find out what the Omate is all about.

P.S. I found [MENTION=1478148]ClearD[/MENTION]'s website with comparisons of most current Smartwatches very interesting--thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] LeighR:
For me, its the Truesmart. I don't want a big phone and the 5" phones are so powerful now that the screen isn't capable of keeping up. For example, Injustice: Gods Among Us and other HD games can't be fully appreciated on a phone. Surfing the web is a pain.

So I've switched to using a tablet for games, surfing, watching movies etc. I will use the watch for simple things like picking up MMS, emails, phone calls etc while I'm out the house. If I'm at the gym or out for a run, I don't need to bring a phone, I'll just wear the watch.

If I'm travelling, I'll take my tablet and use the watch to create a WiFi hotspot.

This means I don't need amazing specs from the watch but the stand alone phone function and ability to create a WiFi hotspot are critical. I will upgrade my tablet instead of my phone, which is a much cheaper option - new tablets cost £200-£300, whereas new phones are £600ish.
[Other SmartWatches] le0.br4zuc4:
I had a Sony smartwatch 2, it was a boring device and I don't know why. Today I have a Galaxy gear and I love it, now that we can enable notifications for every app, I really love it. I am considering buying a Qualcom Toq, does anyone have one and want to share your opinions?
[HTC Rezound] cntryby429:
I'm so far unsuccessful in getting a system theme to stick. Ideally, I'm interested in the CM9/CM10 themes made by DustinB. I can install them from the Play Store and I can apply them as themes in system settings. I can even play around with the new theme for as long as I want but the moment I reboot I end up in a boot loop.

I've tried both Liquid Smooth and Carbon ROM 4.3 nightlies with their stock kernels as well as funky 4.0.3. I can't speak to other ROMS/kernels.

I can install icon packs which are loaded through Nova launcher but I'm looking for a system theme that will do more. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a resolution?

I captured a logcat of the bootloop and I can see several E/ errors and a few F/ fatal errors but it doesn't mean anything to me beyond that. I'd be happy to share it if it would help.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if it is not recommended for cm10.2 for your 4.3 themes than that may be a big issue....especially if you get the error and hit apply anyway....other than that the only way ill be able to tell you anything is if you send me the logcat
[HTC Rezound] cntryby429:
I sent you a PM. Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Rezound] cntryby429:
So I've been working with the owner of the theme trying to troubleshoot this bootloop and the problem proving to be quite elusive. I'm starting with a cleanwiped system with a LiquidSmooth or Carbon nightly on which the theme runs (and reboots) smoothly. As I install apps it will eventually bootloop upon reboot but not after a particular app (or set of apps) consistently. Stay tuned, with another 20 or 30 nand restores we just might figure this out.
[HTC Rezound] Tidewater:
Have you tried the latest version of Hue? It is working fine now with no bootloops. I had read somewhere in the thread for it that the bootloops with all these themes was being caused by the api level being changed. Maybe that will mean more to the dev you are working with to fix it than it does to me. :) Good luck
[HTC Rezound] jmvaught:
Has the issue been solved with this? I was running Cobalt and kept having terrible bootloops. Same as described here. Love the theme(s) but certainly not at the expense of not being able to boot my Rezound. Running LiquidSmooth (4.3.1) 2.3.7, s-off...the goods.

Is there anyway to stop the music player from automatically starting while connected to bluetooth in the car?

It's becoming very annoying, every time I start my car the music just starts blaring and I have to go in to the music player application and turn it off, any help is appreciated!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] imtjnotu:
Melissa I have been going through this issue since the s2

Neximusic did it

Google play music does it

Pretty much every player whether it be a custom Rom or stock does it...

U wish I could fix this but I have yet to find a solution

You can freeze Google Play Music with Titanium Backup if you're rooted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Install a music player that doesn't auto-play and freeze/uninstall the offending player that does. Not sure of another way that still lets you play music when you explicitly open the app and hit play. Might be able to just run a second music player to register it to receive the Bluetooth events, but any time you open the first app again it will register itself and the problem (I mean..."feature") is activated again.

Thanks everyone! I've never had this problem and I've had the s2 s3 s4 and note 2 that's why I'm confused .. I'll give some of these options a try, I didn't want to disconnect the media setting In bt settings because I still use that for slacker

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
Uggghhhhh so I unchecked media in the bluetooth settings and now it just plays through the phone instead !!!!! Extremely irritating!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Wow, that's stupid design! I am guessing the media audio output was removed but the media button controls are still detected and causing the app to start. Android's media button API is pretty bad in that respect, no real control over what app receives the Bluetooth connection request. What music app are you using? I use CM10.2 on my Note 1 and the default music app (Apollo) does this so I had to disable it entirely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
It's the stock music player ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abaysal:
If you are rooted you can give try to a free app called Autorun Manager.

Go to Advanced Mode, find Music Player and expand the receiver list under it.

Disabling MadiaButtonIntentReceiver may address your problem.

You can always re-enable the receiver.

However mine will only happen if the app is in the background. I'm going to play with more options on my end to see if there is a work around
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
You should be able to go to the bluetooth settings, and long press on the bluetooth device you have connected. From there you should be able to select rather to autoplay on connect.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] chicguy:
Yes, I just rooted mine under 2 minutes, you can do it too.

It works with up to 20h for now.

This is not by me, it is by [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], posted in XDA Security, but I think it deserves a thread here.

Edit: actually it has been mentioned here.

1. Go to this thread by jcase

2. Download his app at the end of the post LGPwn.apk

3. Install it (remember to enable installation from unknown source)

4. Run the app LGPwn

5. Follow its instruction, basically:

* click RootMe to run LG BackUp app

* go through BackUp app's 5-6 intro screen and accept its TOS if it is the first time you run that app

* select Restore

* select Local Storage

* select LGPwn

* wait for phone to reboot

* go to Play Store to install SuperSU or SuperUser

Why?

I started this thread since I found no official mention of LGPwn anywhere. I recently have LG to repair my P769, and it comes back with 20h. And I don't want to setup the offline kdz root method, so a google search get me to LGPwn.

If you cannot make the method work, try to follow this
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] geeshiet:
Well you haven't searched hard enough. There's actually a thread about LGPwn found HERE…

There are too many threads regarding root, we dont need another one...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] chicguy:
Hmm, in L9 General forum, search for LGPwn and that thread is no where to be found (but this thread is found :) ).

And too many? I count 2: the original adb restore method and Lelus method. And now the simplest one: LGPwn method.

Edit: I know why! The other thread is in Android Dev!!! Not sure about others, but when I buy a new phone and want to root it, I will go to General forum to look for root method, may be Q&A, but definitely not Android Dev!!!

Anyway, my point is: LGPwn deserves a STICKY thread, so that new people go to this forum to root their device should not go with those lengthy (both in text and in time) KDZ offline method (with scary anti-virus alert)! How do you ask for that thread to be made sticky?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] jtragna:
Don't do a factory reset after rooting via LGPwn, you'll get a 'sleep of death' only to be awaken by ripping out the battery, this happened to me and I had to flash the kdz to fix it
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Ilxaot:
Actually, people Google "[Phone name] Root." And it pops up. The general section is for general things. The development section is for development (root). General can have repositories with links to items in development, but development should stay out of general.

Thanks anyways I guess.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] chicguy:
Thanks, I try to google "factory reset LGPwn" but couldn't find any other cases! Yours might be a special case with particular side-effect? But worth noting down of course.

If you look at what "sticky" in the general section and dev section, you will see what each section is about (4 out of 6 stickies of general section has root in their titles, and 1 out of 20 threads on 1st page of dev section has root in their title). And definitely development is not root nor vice versa, I am 100% sure on that :), and root is not even a pre-requisite on the dev section (think of an unlocked boot loader device, root is just a mean to get it unlocked and then, people can do all creative things on android).

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbrown30:
I understand it's your opinion, but in my opinion it's a watch (there's thousands of watches for more money than ours) that works in futuristic ways that will only get better with time and upgrades. I'm not slamming you taking it back by any means, but this is a pretty new concept and to me, it blows my mind what we can do from a simple watch now. If I can talk into my wrist like James Bond and take pictures without anyone knowing (obviously for the creepiest of reasons) on top of the fact that it is a cool looking watch, I will deal with the few bugs that will get worked out soon enough. But just my opinion!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
See ya!

You are welcome back in a month when the custom ROMs, apps that handle more notifications and other cool stuff are out.

I've experienced none of the issues you are having, and think the watch has a fabulous design.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big_pongo:
That's fine... :D ...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
I was lucky enough to get in on the 30% off deal, and at that price, totally worth the money. At the normal price of 299, I can understand why it might be hard to justify owning the Gear and expecting zero bugs out of the box. That being said, any decent traditional watch will cost at least 300 minimum - and in most cases, all it does is show time & date.

As for the charging cradle, don't understand why it's an issue... it was either a cradle or sticking an ugly USB port on the device. I think they made the right choice, although wireless charging would've been cool, lol. The only problem I can see is, when traveling, you have to remember to take the cradle, then there's the risk of losing it. Anyone who travels regularly, I'd recommend buying a spare cradle if and when they're available.

And not sure about the Sony v2 watch, but I had the v1 for about a week (terrible) and recall that it had a PITA proprietary connector and charging cable. I'd take the cradle over that any day.

Lastly, even traditional watches can be a hassle to keep powered. Some have to be wound on a daily basis, solars need to be kept exposed to light, kinetic motion ones need to be kept moving frequently, etc. Watches with button cell batteries are probably the easiest to deal with, but when the battery dies, can be a major hassle to hunt down the correct battery and sometimes require a repairman to to open the watch and replace it.

My point is, the cradle is not a big deal, lol. Don't let that deter anyone from getting this otherwise awesome watch. :)

It's not consumer ready, by any stretch of the imagination, but for the hackers / enthusiasts amongst us it's far and away the best out there.

I think in that respect, Samsung hit it out of the park and deserve accolades from all of us. It's very exciting to play with it and see and investigate the potential.

Apple will probably wait until they have something that is consumer ready. They don't really care about hackers/enthusiasts.
