Hi guys,

Newbie here. I too bought the ZGPAX smart watch about 3 weeks ago, OEM version. I also purchased another model EC-309 from HOPU watches, which is based on similar hardware MTK6577, Android 4.0 and with the extra that it has 3G network, different hardware layout (camera on the side not front).

Purchased the ZGPAX for around 140$ odd plus shipping, EC-309 on the other hand was priced above $230. Full disclosure, I own a retail store selling OEM Android tablets in Indochina and would like to add smart watches into my product portfolio.

I would like to get some tips on how to extend the battery life seeing as some users managed to be able to get 1 to 1 1/2 days use on a single charge . Rooted the devices, lowered the CPU range. Tried basic user stuff like, screen timeout, brightness. Switched from 3G to GSM. Still cant get more than 6-8hr battery life. Have tried DX battery Saver Pro, this really extend the batt life but at the at the expense of shutting off wifi and 3G (not acceptable solution). Any other ideas?

For those who might be interested, here's a comparison of the two devices

1) ZGPAX touchscreen runs much hotter than the EC-309

2) ZGPAX has superior speakers, music sounds clearer and louder, no distortion at higher levels

3) ZGPAX has SD card slot, EC-309 only has internal 4GB

4) EC-309 slightly better finish, aluminium bezel, ZGPAX feels a little plasticky

5) Similar firmware for both models. Same issues, Google voice, Skype, Facebook crashes or does not work.

6) Similar battery life - 6 to 8 hr max

7) Similar battery monitoring issues - battery indicator not accurate

8) Both models have good wifi and 3G reception

9) EC-309 comes with Launcher 8 as a default..Win 8 style launcher, no custom launcher like ZGPAX.

10) EC-309 uses micro SIM , ZGPAX regular SIM size

Will share more on apps that work for me soon.
[Other SmartWatches] BigBison420:
Really depends on how you use the device.... i could get 3 / 4 days out of it, simply using it as a watch to check the time. Streaming wi-fi and videos and downloading stuff is a whole different story. Have you tried changing the CPU Governor? I have not lowered the stock cpu settings... mine sits at 1001mhz max and 250 min. Deep sleeps about 90% of the time
[Other SmartWatches] kindredd:
Much thanks for the quick feedback BigBison! Frankly the watch gets fully used most days, I am actively chatting on WeChat, checking time, playing around with some basic voice recognition apps (utter, voice reading). Am trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the device. Will try to lower the CPU settings to half 667mhz and see if that helps. IO on deadline and Govenor OnDemand.

BTW, Any devs out there want to help with Custom ROMS? Am happy to donate towards the purchase of a smartwatch for the dev if it can help resolve the battery, Skype, Facebook and Voice search issues.

Also heard from my OEM supplier in China that a new version with Android 4.3 will be coming out early 1st Quarter 14. Will keep you guys informed.
[Other SmartWatches] BigBison420:
wow that is very cool! keep us posted, we love updates! haha

Also if you find useful information or good apps for the watch let me know so i can update the OP in the meantime for other peeps.

Cheers!
[Other SmartWatches] ItzSnitz:
There's also Augmented Smart Watch Pro (Play Store), however I suspect it's still the same issue that ZGPAX is a phone, not a watch. Might be worthwhile to reach out to those developers to check their pulse on this application.

I'm a noob to the s4. Just picked it up. I have stock 4.3 mk2. I want to root and use philz recovery and rwaintellects http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567353 rom. Could someone give me a quick guide to root and install both. Before someone says read. I have been reading guides and threads for four hours and just want to be safe. I accept all help and comments. Thanks

After more reading and searching I think I have found the path to my question

odin: cf-autoroot

odin: philz

philz: rom

Is this correct? again any help is useful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Yeah looks like you know what to do. Odin cf auto root. Then odin philz recovery. Male a backup and follow step by step to install Roma.

I just got mine this morning and have been digging like crazy. Former S II owner and totally feel newbie. Can you tell me if cf autoroot goes in pda and if Philz goes in PDA as well via Odin ....

Figured it out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xyros7:
Since you already know the ROM you want, there is no need to root.

Just ODIN the Philz Recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39433857#post39433857

boot into download mode

start odin3 and configure it as in picture below

connect phone in download mode to PC via USB

press start to flash the tar.md5 package

normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.

If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin.

Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM

when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that

option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

to remove yellow triangle, use TriangleAway

Then boot into recovery and flash your ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567353

To install this ROM follow these instructions EXACTLY:

Boot into Philz recovery

Select "Wipe Data/Factory reset"

Select "Clean to Install a New Rom"

Select "Yes I will install a new ROM".

Then flash this ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FrKamikaze:
Hello,

I tried to flash a new rom on my xperia u with LB ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2164293 ). Before, I had this rom RC2 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233046 ). I made a CWM backup of my rom before flashing.

With CWM, I installed the zip, wiped cache and dalvik, but then my xperia is stuck in a bootloop, when the xperia logo displays, he phone reboots.

I tried to fix it with SEUS, but the xperia u isn't displayed any more..

Then, I tried with flashtool to flash a stock rom ( ICS 6..1.1.B.1.10 , which was easier to root so I could run CWM and retry flashing one more time) I plug in the phone, it turns on the green light but flashtool doesn't react or anything and keep asking to plug in the phone.

I installed every single driver available and rebooted my windows 8, but nothing changed.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suyash691:
try using flashtool in win xp , or win7 , for win 8, disable driver signature check and install drivers from drivers folder in flashtool install location.

[MENTION=4940560]FrKamikaze[/MENTION]

Don't know why you don't see Xperia U in SUS, you are the second one saying that, but I see it there.

You can try repair with PCC or find a conputer with Windows 7 or under
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FrKamikaze:
Here's what flashtool displays when I try the same things on a windows 7!

Xperia U appeared in the list of SEUS in win 7, but it tells me that my phone has the latest version then turns off.

But the light stayed green and, by trying again with flashtool, for some reason, it worked! I unchecked one by one kernel, partition, TA, FOTA and baseband (only system checked) and then it worked!

Thanks :D

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stretchwookie:
Hey guys. i have what will probably seem like a super noob question for everyone. I have only EVER been on CDMA networks, and only just started tmobile a year ago. and ive only had one phone there, so idk how these things work.

I want a Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE (GPE or not, idc) but obviously it isnt sold by tmobile. since ive never had to deal with unlocked phones, i ask you all this:

If i buy one from someone on craigslist/ebay, is checking the serial number important like it is on CDMA networks? also, in order to activate my phone, i assume all i do is pop in the sim, but does that move my insurance and Tmobile JUMP plan over to the new device as well?

Sorry for noobing it up guys. lol any help is much appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
First of all, this should be in the Q&A section.

Second, yes, check the IMEI number before you buy it, and the SIM should automatically be activated once you pop it in the Ultra. I can't give you an answer on the insurance part since i'm not american, so i don't know these things work over there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] GANGELT:
I am not sure how important checking the imei number on this device would be since since is not a carrier branded device ( many do not even know this phone exists) . Now to the 2nd part: I believe your insurance and jump program will not transfer to the ultra because it is not sold by T-mobile and that program it is only effective with t-mobile branded hardware. My 2 cents. hope it helps. Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Artosoft:
Hi,

Just want to check, does anyone successfully install .NET Compact Framework v2.0 on magician with WM2003 SE?

If I am not wrong, WM2003 SE already have .NET Compact Framework v1.0 on its ROM. How we can install v2.0 over it? Does it redundance (consider its big in size for the framework, v1.0 and v2.0 installed on magician).

Can someone please clarify this.

Thx.

Regards,

Arto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi Artosoft,

Yes I got .net 2 on my magician. Got no prob. at all installing it. Didn't made a big diff. in ram occupation too ::-):

Install was the usual: download from M$ & start the installation program.

Clear enough? Or did you had any problem in installing it?

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Artosoft:
Oltp,

Did you install on memory, or on storage (Big Storage, thanks to you, I used your method :-).

Thanks,

Arto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Arto,

I must apologize for my answer. I appear to have .net 1 sp3 :-(

installed. Will look for .net 2

I noticed your tag ;-) before.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi Arto,

I couldn't resist & installed .net 2 in main memory. It will install there anyway it's too smart to fake. & it just added a measly 3.5MB to my windows folder :twisted: So I'm very pleased with this result :-( Well I'm uo-to-date & will move some of those files over to my BS.

Installing is no point, but the space it consumes...man I must find the time to build my own CE image.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vlasherz:
actually from where we can get those .net?

and how to check it what .net do we have in our magician(O2 mini)

because yesterday i try to install soe application and it said that my computer has the later version..bla...bla

OK this is weird. If touch the upper right corner of the home screen it vibrates and an appbar appears for like 1/2 second......

I was using cover lock screen app and I just uninstalled it. Now the app bar is gone. That's what it was I guess.

I have seen that also, it looks as if "maybe" the liquid team does not have the settings in yet. This is all a work in progress.

Hi guys,

I need your help, I'm trying to port the i925 nightly from 16.12.2013 to my n8020 device. I got it to run, the only thing that doesn't work is the phone. It doesn't detect my sim card. Now my question is, does the phone from the nightly from 16.12.2013 work? Does it detect the sim card?

Since I'm not a developer I'm more trying than knowing what I do, so go slow on me.

My thanks go to sbrissen for his hard working on the nightlies, to wwwcase for his buildport.sh script and to some unknown guy who wrote an updater-script conversion tool. I hope it's ok that i use their work for my tries.

Is the only way right now to flash a rom is to delete all data in stock slot on ss then flash a compatible rom? I dont want to have to lose my data to do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mtsprite:
Officially there is no way to flash a custom ROM on MJ7. Unofficially i have heard of some people doing this, but i HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND IT! This is because if you screw something up there is a high chance of bricking. For now i would advise you to wait until Hashcode has ported safestrap over to MJ7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Well it's just that Safestrap for 4.3 is in beta right now. It is risky and unless you don't care if you brick the phone or are really experienced I would wait it out.

I agree...unless you don't need your phone or like to reflash and do Odin...its beta and hashcode does his development step by step. Loading Roms and having issues with a beta release won't speed the process. Pay attention to what hashcode wants...I'm just saying

Safestrap 3.71 is working with safestrap and RLS 11& RLS12 is working flawlessly. I have it in slot 2 on my S4. I highly reccommend flashing only stock kernel with installer then installing MJ7 patch before initial boot then changing kernel if need be.

When looking at android battery info it shows talkatone at the top using 60% of my battery. CPU total shows it is using 5hrs, so what is it doing for that long?

Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
easy fix.. uninstall the app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I don't really consider that a fix. Any info on troubleshooting or figuring out the cause of this would be more helpful as I know many users are using the app fine. Something is wrong in my case. Some days it works fine, other days it just eats CPU nonstop and kills the battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
It's bad programming. Either Greenify or uninstall.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Talkatone is used to receive google-voice calls, greenifying it sorta makes it useless.

However, I have a hunch talkatone gets stuck in a reconnect loop sometimes when reception is low. Any logs or something I could investigate?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
I use the Google Voice app and don't have any issues. There really isn't much you can do. You'll need to ask the developer for advice on this one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I use the google voice app fine too, but it doesn't do free voip calling. You can only text and listen to voicemail.

I suspect it has something to do with switch from 3G to my work's WIFI. Talkatone tends to get connection loop issues. If there was a away to log when talkatone starts misbehaving...For now I just have to actively try to monitor and watch when it starts behaving to see which conditions triggers it.

Maybe there an app that would auto kill talkatone when it uses more than X amount of CPU time?

Just wanted to share with everyone that in my desperate attempts to find a way to modify the Stock Navbar I tried out the LG Navbar Xposed module and it works perfect! No 4 or 5 button but it has plenty of buttons to choose for the three available including long press customization for each one. Works perfect transparency stays intact as well as modifications from other modules (gravitybox navbar height). The only thing I've noticed is that the 3 dot button on the navbar will still pop up on apps requiring it. I just used softkeyz and downloaded the invisible buttons from the user gallery so its still there but I don't have to look at it.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] dems86:
You should have just used Gravity Box xposed module. Among every other tweak available to you in GB, there is also a section for modifying NavBar. I shrunk mine down because I don't think it needs to be that big, added always on menu button, and then turned on Immersive Mode (which is really awesome, I prefer it to pie and it's still basically stock android, both function and form wise).
[Moto X Themes and Apps] darksizzle:
I use the gravitybox module but can't stand not having a dedicated menu button. I know there is the always on option in gravity box but I am left handed and can't stand stretching over to reach it. Plus this has long press options. I find it a lot nicer having the menu button with long press for recents. Just letting people know of more options. As someone who normally uses cyanogenmod and AOKP and adds a menu button immediately I found this perfect for me.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dems86:
Oh nice, didn't realize there were that many more options available, going to have to check it out and maybe use GB for everything else but NavBar. Thanks.
