OK - Called Samsung Canada back today -

Quoted Case # 2123030231

He found the case # !!!!

He said that it has been acknowledged by their Engineers and they are actively looking at it.

So i confirmed that the case does exist, and the fact that they are looking into it.

Keep calling and complaining guys,, if we drive the call volume up, they will hopefully provide a fix sooner than later.

Thanks.

I have a Note 2 with Skynote 4.3 with the UK update on my GG. My Svoice was a bit poor in quality the few times I used it. When I went to my phone I saw it was pushing me to the Samsung store to download app called SamsungTTS HD US English. It improved it so much
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Thanks for confirming. I'm going to call again. Hope others do to.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Do you think it might be worthwhile to install the note 3 BT apk from Rogers or Bell on the note 2? This might be more compatible with a Canadian rom. Again I could be completely off.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thekenderman:
I just called....guy I talked to confirmed the ticket number, had me clear S-Voice data/force stop it on my phone to try it again on my GG...and of course it's not working :silly: So, he has advised me that "his engineers are aware of a compatibility issue with the Note 2" and "an update to S-Voice" or firmware will be rendered to fix. So...keep calling guys / gals who haven't called! More people complaining = a quicker fix, right? :fingers-crossed::laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
You know this really makes me wonder when they decided to release the rom to make the note 2 compatible with the GG did anyone ever test the phone with the watch to see if they accomplished their goal?

I wonder if any note 2 owners have the phone and watch playing nice.

Thanks for update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] shinehigh:
Yes, see my post above
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
My mistake. I meant using stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
FYI, seeing as there are known issues with BT on 4.3 (as Shoichet has explored) I tried using this fix from from the nexus 4

I couldn't flash the zip. Just thought you'd like to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] shinehigh:
Sorry hopefully they get the kinks out quick
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Might anyone have an update on the matter? I see there is a video posted on youtube about this issue and another thread on android central, so clearly this is an issue. Any new information would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thekenderman:
I wish I had an update. It's a feature I really really really could use.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
In my most recent conversation with Samsung, I was told that the issue is "still being looked into and that a fix has not yet begun". The rep went on to say that the tech department is trying to recreate the problem.

what was the last comment a samsung rep told you, if you recall?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thekenderman:
Basically it's being looked into by their engineers, and could be fixed by either updated s-voice or Note 2 firmware....unfortunately nothing other than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adam.wu:
I just got off the phone with Samsung - 35 minutes later...

This was the reps answer after him directing me on things to do to troubleshoot.

"The 4.3 update for the Note II does not support S Voice for the GG. It's not just you, it's everyone I was just told."

I also gave him the case ID but he didn't do anything with it. I guess we will just have to wait and see what Samsung comes up with.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Sorry, I'm a little unclear. Was the rep telling you that 4.3 was not designed to support S voice on the GG or was he simply informing you that you are not alone with this problem?

Thanks for the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhoneLine:
Anyone tried an International ROM to see if this issue exists? I was using the AT&T Leak version but moved to the SkyNote 10 based on the Rogers release, so I am seeing the issue in my I317 and gear. I was going to try and flash the 'Stainless' Rom which is pretty much a stock N7105.

Wondering if anyone has already? I'll report back my results after I download it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tal360ca:
I don't know about any of you, but I have more problems then just S-Voice. All my media and ringtones play through the front-facing speaker grille, the "Find my Device" feature doesn't work, and when I try to play music through the Stock Music App, I get a message saying "Unable to play during call"..

I have a WIND Mobile T889v, and I tried Stock WIND ROM, Stock T-Mobile ROM, and Stock International ROM (De-Knoxed)..

I think it may be the problem with the kernel? I am running Devil2 kernel, even tried multiple versions.

The weird thing is that I didn't have this problem for the first few days, then I got it, it somehow went away by itself, and now the problem consists throughout multiple ROMs. I even reset both the Gear and the Note 2 multiple times. I really dont want to return it because I love the Gear, but this is really frustrating..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] j89:
I think you just got fed in with absolute bull from Samsung. I am using the Gear with the Note 2 on stock 4.3 firmware without any issues what-so-ever. Gear is on MK7 software version.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
New galaxy manager update in Samsung app store. All s voice issues resolved. Yay! Wish we could have had the pedometer sync. Alas no s health sensor. Oh well. Everything is top notch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] EviLLoNe:
Tried the updates, rebooted all devices.. seems to be doing the same thing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Any chance you got an updated version of s voice on your phone from samsung app store? Mine updated on Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] EviLLoNe:
GG manager = VER 1.5.120902 - DEC 12 2013

S-Voice = VER 10.1 Nov 4 2013

Watch = Ver ..MK7

Now when i try s-voice on the GG i notice that it sometimes looses blue tooth connection and then reconnects - watch is right beside the phone when this happens. This is a new feature since the update. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
My s voice is version 11.2.2 not sure if that matters. Also I added the usa hd voice. Maybe that might help?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
I mean the Samsung tts HD usa English from the Samsung app store.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] EviLLoNe:
yep had that installed already... - -but svoice ver is still lower than the one you have... strange....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rekil goth:
Not sure if it helps but I installed s voice as a system app along with the TTS. Might you have done that?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Phatronica:
I updated to mk7 ... still the exact same issue with S Voice on GG with my note 2.

Usually the first few firmware updates with new products tackles known universal issues and bugs. Note 2 owners will take a back seat for a bit while flagship phones are honed in to work the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] EviLLoNe:
Noticed there was another update today for GG - installed, S voice still doing the same thing.. just FYI -
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] j89:
Maybe a factory reset on the phone helps?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Phatronica:
Lol. Or maybe Samsung should make their errors right before launch and not do things a la Microsoft.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragonthl:
Off-topic but how can I connect note 2 n7100 with gear, i try install null_15 but still cannt connect.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Phatronica:
Maybe start a new thread or find an existing one about that topic. We're having a different chat in this specifically named thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Phatronica:
It's fixed!!!

Brothers, download the new update and S - Voice should be 100%.

My S -Voice works perfectly on the GG now!

Good luck with your updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sparky347v:
solved (maybe)

So I had same garbled "I didn't catch that" with my stock gear and stock Rogers 4.3 on Note 2. I held the power button on the gear until rebooting message was displayed and then repeatedly pushed the power button until it came up with a screen with 3 options. It's not super easy to read, but as know the second option is download, I assume the 3rd option is recovery, anyways that's the one I highlighted with the power button and then held the power button until the watch rebooted. Once it rebooted it is unable to connect to my phone and is showing the pairing process video on its screen. From Gear manager on my phone I selected "galaxy gear", then "connect new gear". I chose manual pairing and selected my gear. I selected yes when it asked if I would like to recover my gear and after the gear finished it's recovery I tried S Voice..... Crystal clear, understands my voice everytime. Unfortunately, all my apps and settings were gone, but small price to pay for fully functional gear/note 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gypsydigi:
I'm on rogers in Canada. Using Ditto Rom 3.2 with my GG and s-voice works perfectly. It's weird how custom rom seem to work better then samsungs
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] strevellick:
I too have a Rogers branded Note 2 stock And a GG. I followed your instructions but unfortunately in my case it did not work. I am using the following firmware:

Android 4.3 Rogers Note 2 stock

Galaxy Gear: MK7

Gear Manager: 1.5.123002

S Voice: 11.2.2.0

I hope the come up with a fix soon. I have been on the phone with Samsung twice about this issue and they informed me their techs are working with Google for a patch. I am not sure if that holds much water.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] strevellick:
Well I managed to get it working this time. I am not sure exactly what was different but I unpaired and re-paired the Gear and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] saqibniaz:
The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.

Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.

And in "Call" mode Volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.

And due to this call mode if you try to play music in stock app, you'll get error "Unable to play during call" error.

If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.

Hit Thanks!, if it helps
[Moto X Q&A] Titanoxide:
Basically my questions are simple, I tried Googling quite extensively but cannot find a comprehensive answer.

Moto X Motomaker vs the Moto X Developer Edition pro and cons...

Here is what I

think

I know

Motomaker (MM from this point forward) is how you make it, has 16 and 32gb models and comes with a locked bootloader that must be unlocked to flash a ROM or change the fancy things like battery icons and the framework mods. Must wait for verizon to push updates to you at their own rate.. let me know if i'm wrong..

Developer Edition (DE from this for forward) is only 2 tone black and white and only available in 32gb. Bootloader is unlocked stock, can flash roms, change framework, custom apps, mod and tethering, android updates available whenever Google releases them or just come to XDA and find a leak.

I'm wondering if getting the DE is going to be worth the cost and if i comes BLANK with no Verizon bloat on-board. can i still use active notification and camera gesture etc if i flash a ROM?

I understand that the idea flashing a ROM is to get as close as humanly possible to stock android which it already is.

I'm going to be purchasing tomorrow so if you are all out there a timely response would be awesome!

On a side note I'm getting this phone to replace an S4 thats limping along with Safestrap and a Nexus Launcher. :(
[Moto X Q&A] seniorstew:
Who's your carrier? T-mobile and Sprint allow you to unlock your bootloader http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/09/t-mobile-moto-x-added-to-motorola-bootloader-unlock-program/

If you have Verizon or AT&T you'll need to get the dev edition.
[Moto X Q&A] Titanoxide:
Verizon Wireless..
[Moto X Q&A] seniorstew:
Dev edition it is
[Moto X Q&A] oplix:
If you want to run latest versions of android as soon as possible, Developer Edition might not be the ticket. As you can see already, carriers have started to push out kitkat earlier than motorola itself.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
I'm in the same boat. I think the idea of the Moto X is great especially since it's getting the updates in a timely manner. I wonder though if the Developer Edition would be any different. Just because it's a Developer Edition doesn't mean it's a Google Play Edition meaning it will probably only receive the update when the Moto Maker X gets an update. That being the case (if I'm correct). Should I purchase the Developer Edition over the Motor Maker X. The only thing I would need to do is wifi tether since I am still on unlimited data and use it daily.
[Moto X Q&A] chuda.pati09:
I have the Verizon Dev edition, and the only reason why I got it was so that I can unlock it and root it. With Dev editions you can only get white. If you want to unlock and root and are on AT&T or Verizon, then get the Dev edition, otherwise just get the Moto Maker edition.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
What have you done with your Dev Edition Moto X that you couldn't have done with the Moto Maker Version? And I'm asking what have you done, not what you plan on doing. Given the opportunity to do it all over again would you get the Dev Edition again or would you get a Moto Maker version?
[Moto X Q&A] bigmook:
Got the Dev edition and have not even unlocked the bootloader. Its that good . was thinking about it to install viper audio mod but have not yet
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
LoL. Makes it even harder to decide if I want the Dev Edition or the Moto Maker personalized one tomorrow morning.
[Moto X Q&A] chuda.pati09:
I have unlocked and rooted my phone, I have installed Xposed and Gravity Box, and Greenify. I also plan on changing the bootloader, but have not found one I liked.

I believe you can root the Moto X without unlocking the bootloader, but from what I understand it is a headache when OTAs come through and there are chances of it bricking the phone. Since I was able to unlock the bootloader, I was able to flash TWRP and flash SU. And I don't have to worry about OTAs screwing up my phone.

But I need to stress this, do not spend the extra money on Dev edition if you are not on Verizon or AT&T, the Moto Xs from Motomaker can be unlocked.

The only added bonus the Dev edition brings is that unlocking it does not void the warranty which is nice because there can be cases which arise when it is a manufacture defect which the warranty would cover and it is nice to have that protection. But if you unlock a non Dev edition, it will void the warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] bigmook:
I personally would go with the Dev edition. There is always bound to be something I want to do to it. Plus future proofing
[Moto X Q&A] chuda.pati09:
I did not unlock the bootloader until last week, which is also when I finally got time to unlock it and root the phone. But the change in warranty policy was a nice push.

I recommend unlocking and rooting your phone, I really missed Greenify and Titanium Backup. It might be a placebo effect or being on break last week I didn't use the phone as I normally do, but Greenify really helped the battery life. I went almost 22 hrs and about 2 hrs of screen time with no recharge couple times, using (Snapchat, Chrome, Reddit News, SMS, Hangouts, Phone, Plume, Maps, CBS Sports) heavily. Hopefully when I go back to normal usage this occurs again.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
I should have been thinking about this a lot sooner than tonight. I'm leaning towards the Moto Maker edition for the obvious reasons of the color options. All I need is root the main thing I care about is tethering. And if I'm not mistaken there are apps on the market that will allow me to do that without root. I currently have a rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and the only thing I use root for is tethering.
[Moto X Q&A] elpmet27:
I went for the developer edition. I think it is worth the money..
[Moto X Q&A] 1ManWolfePack:
What does the Dev edition offer that the retails does not?

1) a true custom recovery

2) no exploit needed for root
[Moto X Q&A] elpmet27:
Perhaps faster upgrade process, flagship product.. Investment in quality products...
[Moto X Q&A] 1ManWolfePack:
Your post doesn't add up...

" Perhaps faster upgrade process" - nope. Same for everyone. I believe motomaker version got it first...

"flagship product" - Motomaker is advertised, Dev edition is not known to all.

"Investment in quality products" - they are both the same phone.
[Moto X Q&A] varun.gid:
I'm planning to buy the Moto X today. I live in Asia/Middle East. Will the T-Mobile Off contract version work? Because i want to customize my phone through moto maker. I know LTE most likely most wont work, but my main concern is will it detect any sim and 3g data should work. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] finalarcadia:
yes t-mobile is sim unlocked and 3g should work.
[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
As of this moment, there is no difference between what you can do on regular version vs the dev edition. They are identical phones; even the bloatware is the same. If there's another major upgrade, there's a possibility that you may have to wait for root on the customized version. There are a lot of people who will buy the dev edition only to realize that there isn't anything extra they have or can do right now.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
6am and impossible to get onto Motorolas site.
[Moto X Q&A] RagnaParadise:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but T-Mobile doesn't have the issue with the locked bootloader, no?
[Moto X Q&A] joshm.1219:
lol
[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
You can unlock it but you lose your warranty. If the customization is that important to you, buy the phone and use it for 13 days to make sure there are no defects then unlock or exchange it as necessary.
[Moto X Q&A] teookie:
Where do you buy the verizon dev edition at?

I'm interested in this phone because of the cyber monday deal going on.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
I ordered one this morning here:

http://www.motorola.com/us/shop-all-mobile-phones-1/Moto-X-Developer-Edition-Verizon/moto-x-developer-edition-verizon.html
[Moto X Q&A] teookie:
Damn. Out of stock. Def worth the extra $50 in my opinion.
[Moto X Q&A] pablomoca:
Sorry man. Maybe if you check back later today they'll have more in stock? The site has been pretty wonky all morning. I know there was a "limited" amount of deals available but you might give it a shot any way. Another option might be to order a Moto Maker 32gb phone and then return it for an exchange later and then get the Dev Edition. People have been saying that the return process with Motorola is pretty painless. Either way good luck.
[Moto X Q&A] cowprince:
So given that the dev edition is sold out now. Is the Motomaker version worth getting?

Right now I have a rooted and unlocked DNA using cyanogenmod along with various other SU required apps, but I have the obnoxious SIM card problems with the phone...so I figured it might be a good side-grade since it was $350 off contract right now.

I know with it being a Motorola device it's goofy with the unlocking just from what I've read, but I've either had an HTC or a Galaxy Nexus up to this point. So is there any way to more or less convert the motomaker edition to a dev edition with an unlocked bootloader? Warranty doesn't matter to me, and on a side note this would be for Verizon.

Sorry for the stupid question, but wanted to make sure.
[Moto X Q&A] joshm.1219:
You can only root the normal Moto X for Verizon. Even if you do go with the Dev Edition, you better be a person who likes running their own builds & rom's, because no one's really put out a ROM for the public.
[Moto X Q&A] cowprince:
Thanks, yeah that's all I was really looking to do anyway. As long as the stock ROM for the Moto X allows me to use the stock email widget for all email accounts regardless of what launcher I use I really couldn't care less what ROM I was using as long as I could still get root. I don't need any special kernel etc...

I think that was the only problem I had with any of the Sense ROMs on my DNA was that as soon as you used a launcher of some sort the sense based email app would no longer be usable. Meaning I couldn't use the widget to see all my email accounts in a combined inbox. Basically I wanted to see my google apps accounts in the same combined inbox as my exchange activesync accounts for work. (yes I know I'm odd that I'd rather use the stock email app than I would the gmail app)
[Moto X Q&A] joshm.1219:
Have you ever looked into email apps on the play store? I feel like the top email clients would meet your needs.
[Moto X Q&A] cowprince:
Yeah, it's been about a year though, nothing would meet the needs of a combined inbox widget. WiZZ Widget used to have something that would work, but that specific widget from the app was pulled a year or two ago for whatever reason. Touchdown wouldn't get the job done and neither would K-9, I can't recall the rest I looked at. I've not looked recently though since I was running CM now and the stock email app works fine.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Yeah a quick look shows me that I should be ok now with something like Aquamail using a smart folder or something similar. Thanks for getting me off my lazy ass to look again ;)
[Moto X Q&A] joshm.1219:
I was going to tell you to check that out lol I was listening to a podcast the other day and someone was saying how nice Aquamail is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmmarAndroid:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to get S-Off with rumrunner on HBoot 1.54 and all went well apart from me needing an unsecure kernal that's compatible with my rom (Android revolution 4.3 with sense 5.5). Now, I have no idea what the hell I do here and I need help of how I can attempt to get S-Off on this with this kernal. It also has a second option of installing another rom which I don't mind doing as long as it's going to work with rumrunner.

Please, a reply ASAP will be great!
[General Questions and Answers] EnigmaCurry:
I'm trying to help a friend of mine recover some vital files (that for whatever reason, have no other backups) on a LG Optimus F3 (vm720) phone that has had water damage.

The phone turns on, and boots up to the home screen. Problem is, we cannot interact with the screen at all. I supposed that the digitizer might have been damaged, so I bought a replacement, but found that to not work. Pulling out the motherboard revealed that the circuitry that is on the obverse side of where the digitizer plugs in to, is completely fried (See attached.) So, I believe that there is no way we will ever get a touch screen working on this phone again. So, are there other options?

The file we need to access is in app protected storage, for a particular application. I know, that's going to complicate things even moreso.

It appears this device does not have any HID support, so I cannot plug in a USB mouse like I can on my nexus 7.

So a few more ideas, that have their own associated questions:

Is there any low level tool that can dump the app protected memory? (I doubt it, that seems like a security bug)

If we could bring up the application itself, and interact with it, we can retrieve the file we need. But is there anyway to do that through usb/bluetooth/some other way? As far as I can tell, the only buttons that work are: HOME, volume up/down, and power.

Is there any professional services that can desolder the memory board and retrieve files that way? Price is not really a concern here unless it's astronomical.

I can get into the recovery mode, holding down the volume button while powering on, but I'm pretty sure if I were to flash a new ROM that had ADB enabled, it would wipe the app protected storage in the process. I don't think the phone is unlocked either, so that may not even possible at all.

The phone is non-rooted, and does not appear to have ADB turned on.. so this might be a lost cause. :crying:
