[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
I know this is a slightly callous thing to say, but suddenly watches have fallen into the bi-yearly replaceable category.

No longer are they finely hand crafted devices that merely tell you just the time (and sometimes the date), they are an extension of your phone. Generally my analogue time pieces would last me anywhere between 5-15 years. This is technology though and we all know it can become out of date very quickly. It's sad and I dislike this fact, but I know that in a year or two I will want to upgrade to keep up with the Jones'. Not just that, I guarantee the Note 6 won't support the original Gear.

We're stuck in the cycle now! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] colts187:
My gear has me essentially committed to samsung now. I usually switch out phones alot but no more. No nexus 5 for me I guess. I wish I didn't have to use some weird workaround to get it to work with another phone

Skinomi Full Body Cover: Clasp Section Won't Adhere?

Were you able to get the Skinomi clasp cover to stay on? Mine was very difficult to get on to begin with and I could never get the corners to adhere properly. Within a couple days, the corners were full of dirt. Skinomi sent me a new one, but same problem. Is there a trick to get the corners to stay down, or is the clasp cover just useless?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koalauk:
I am sure you ll enjoy your gg . I just bought one purely to be used when I am out on my motorbike as it will be alot easier to see who calls etc without reaching to my phone with gloves and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NiHaoMike:
Learn some basic electronics work and you'll be able to keep stuff running for much longer. That won't help with stuff that just get outdated to the point where they're no longer useful, but I don't see all that much application for more processing power in a watch. In a few years, just open it up and swap the battery with one purchased for a few dollars on a site like HobbyKing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] klau1:
I don't need to know much about electronics to know that paying for Battery no matter how cheap, at HobbyKing or at the street corner against someone no longer useful is both immoral and illegal.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NiHaoMike:
By the same logic, once the battery goes dead in your car, it's time to buy a new car because replacing the battery is "immoral and illegal". There's nothing wrong with trying to fix something you own.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Technobuffalos:
This is truly an informative thread, thanks for all the detailed replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] highlordkram:
Maybe there is a language barrier issue, but Klau1, if it is your watch then of course you can replace the battery in it with a new one. This is not immoral or illegal in any way.

[MENTION=493030]jonboyuk[/MENTION]: It turns out the Note 4 doesn't even support the original Gear.

It's working fine on my T-Mobile Note 4 running fireKat rom

Edit... Mostly fine. The usual unlock issue
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tati F:
Gear 1 and Note 4

I'm going to make a guess and say that since you are running a custom ROM, you are probably not running the very latest version of the Gear Manager. If I'm correct, KEEP the one you have. I turned my Note 4 back in to Verizon (locked bootloader, so no custom ROM) because of lack of dock mode, lack of driving mode, no S-Planner widget on non-TouchWiz launchers, and, most importantly, the only notifications I could get on my Gear 1 said "This app has a notification. Please look at your mobile device." (Or something to that effect. I didn't write down the exact wording.) The only exception was the Samsung "Messages" app. Literally the only notifications I could really get were texts, and the Gear Manager said right up front during installation that it was REQUIRED to use the Samsung messaging app.

The Note 4 really had fabulous hardware. And I miss 4.4.4. But what good is fantastic hardware if I can't use it in the car or with my watch?

BUT notifications would work just fine on a Gear 2. So I guess I was supposed to spend another $300 to replace my 10 MONTH old Gear 1 with a Gear 2? But wait, it gets worse...

Interestingly, about two weeks after I returned the Note 4, my Note 2 started having the same problem. Lo and behold, Samung had *silently* updated the Gear Manager. Not so much as an after-the-fact notification in the notification screen. I'm a terrible noob, so I can't find the XDA thread where I found others complaining about this same thing happening to them - and the solution, which was to downgrade the Gear Manager to ver. 1.6.132701. (I could find the thread where the link to do so can be found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593066)

Another little note: After going to all the trouble to downgrade the Gear Manager (like I said, I'm a noob, so it wasn't so easy for me) I UN-checked "Check for software updates automatically". And yet, when I opened up the Gear Manager to get the version number so I could write this message, I got a message from Samsung that the Gear Manager was out of date, and was GOING to get upgraded. Fortunately, they allowed a Cancel button, so I haven't upgraded. But they sure aren't paying any attention to that un-checked check box.

Time to root and freeze the Samsung updater... good-bye Knox warranty flag. Hello, controlling my own phone! (I just wish I could load a custom ROM, or at least Safestrap. But neither of those is possible on my version.)

I've got lots of scratches on my JAM. It really look ugly now. The self portrait mirror also remains no longer a mirror.

I was wondering, if there is any way to get rid of the scratches and fix the mirror as well?

Awaiting a reply.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HBK:
I just replaced the upper backside, the part with the mirror, on my Magician. Paid almost $60 for that cover! HTC spare part prices are insane :(

That's ridicialous. So, is there no potion or any liquid to do the trick? :S
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] migheltje:
worked at a repair-center myself, there a complete cover set would cost something like 30 Euros. Only a shame they dont sell those covers to private people :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] fluffcat1:
I sell full magician casings on ebay. If you have a jam you'd need a new stylus as well.

[General Questions and Answers] SomeoneElse06:
As far as I can tell, the title says what the tablet's model is although I'm not 100% sure as it doesn't have any stickers or decals giving any clues as what it's exact model is other than it has 8GB of storage.

My brother found it in a house he was remodeling for someone. The last occupants of the house were long since gone and the owner (who my brother was doing the work for) said he could keep it and since he already has a tablet, he gave it to me.

The downsides to this are;

1. It has no SD card. But I can easily go out and buy one.

2. It's locked with a passcode and since it's original owners are long gone, there's no way to get the code.

The passcode can range from a single digit and above so guessing was obviously out of the question.

I tried looking up the recovery button sequence and after trying countless different ones that I've found, I've had no luck.

Windows 7 recognizes it as a USB Composite Device, I've tried the instuctions found in google to get it to recognize it as a tablet, but so far no luck there either. The tablet doesn't even show a prompt for USB Mass Storage when it's plugged in. It simply displays the passcode number pad.

I've considered flashing it but LiveSuite is a joke. After trying to decipher all the broken english, it wont even recognize the tablet. I found the firmware on the MaPan website after digging through all their tablet models and comparing the pictures until I found the exact match of the one I have.

Any idea how I can make this tablet usable? I have Ubuntu 12.04 in virtualbox as well if using that will make it easier.

Also, if anyone asks for pictures, I'm sorry as I don't have a camera. I have a cheap phone but it doesn't have one.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] bro

I did not told him about that because i hav one doubt..

Is the ported Z1 SemcPhone will work in other Deodexed 4.3 roms too.? I thought it will work only in eXistenZ because of any internel file change...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] goa200:
Yes i know you have an addon for full screen caller image, However it doesnt work as this one used to.

Your addon niaboc requires me to redo all my contactphotos and for most of them i simply dont have the possibility to do so due to sync from facebook and other stuff.

So if u use yours it distorts the image in that it stretches the current image in height.

I want an addon that simply uses my current photo and enlarge it to fit the screen. And Rajeevs addon for 4.35 did just this and thus i would love if he could do it for 5.0
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] bobdob03:
A couple of weeks ago I got an OTG cable and tested it with several USB sticks varying from 4Gb to 32Gb. They all worked perfectly. I have recently tried to connect the 32Gb sticks, but the tablet no longer recognises that they are attached, however the 16Gb and 4Gb drives still work.

I have tried with 2 OTG cables, 2 32Gb memory sticks, and on 2 tablets, but no combination works. They do however, work perfectly on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) which implies the problem is with the tablet.

I have started to doubt my memory of being able to use these 32Gb sticks, so I wondering if anyone has come across a similar problem, has any insight to the problem, or can clarify if a 32Gb stick is too big for the tablet to power.

The memory sticks giving me problems are 32Gb Kingston Data Traveller G3's formatted to FAT32.

Cheers

[General Questions and Answers] rohit16:
I'm using a lenovo s820, rooted, running stock rom and jb 4.2.1

I couldn't find any recovery like cwm or twrp for my phone and I ended up downloading a recovery that said it was a version of cwm for my phone from this app called mobileuncle mtk tools

The app flashed the recovery onto my phone and rebooted into recovery except that it didn't boot into recovery

Now it is stuck in a boot loop where it only shows the lenovo logo but does not boot

I've tried booting into recovery by holding "vol up+vol down+power" but it does the same thing

I tried booting into factory mode but it is in chinese and I cannot understand anything in it

I have a backup of my rom before flashing the recovery but it is stuck in the boot loop even after restoring the backup

I've also searched a lot and can't find a solution to my problem!

I've seen some solutions saying I should flash stock rom using flash tools but there's a big problem here. Flash Tools refuses to flash the stock rom onto my phone. I tried to do it while keeping the phone in meta mode but it wasn't happening.

I've attached the image of the factory mode menu

Please help asap! I can't use my phone at all and I'm panicking and I don't know what to do!!! :crying: :crying: :crying:

Update: I managed to restore clockworkmod recovery on my phone and I tried to restore the stock os from it but it says installation aborted and refuses to install the os :/

Anyone has any issue with Google Contact Sync? It says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".

Several methods I've tried before:

1. Delete the Google account and add again

2. Clear data from "Contacts Storage"

3. Enable all google related services that I have disabled before (Google Newstand, Google Book and etc)

It seems that I can only download the contacts the first time I add the account, but any edit I make on the phone won't sync back to Google.

Can't find any other new method from Google result...

I've got an authentic MK808b that had a power cycle and now won't boot - it's stuck on the Android screen. I've tried getting it into flash mode via the OTG power/pin in the hole method. Windows detects it, but says the device ID failed and I can't install a driver (i.e it's a hardware issue, not a driver issue). This is on XP, 8.1, and 7 systems (tried it on all 3 separate boxes). So basically I can't get it into flash mode, and when I sort of do it gets detected in Windows as a failed device.

Is it over for this little guy? Is there another method I could try to flash it fresh? Thanks for any help.

No. It's a FM Tuner. It also has a feature to Record the radio you are listening.

No internet required.

Also able to be used without the headphones, but (of course) unless you live nearby the radio station you won't get good or any reception.

You can also listen with device speaker.

Quite good application for me. Just sad that it's not free.
