[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cb5264:
Hi folks,

<rant>

I am running a N7100 with no Samsung apps, using OmniROM (4.4.2). My first smartwatch was a sony using a pretty slim manager, that didn't require any separate app store or anything funky. Now I got that gear watch for xmas and I am pretty annoyed as it took me some time to figure out that the GearManager is pretty much bound to samsung libraries and stuff (and an APK in /system/apps/ )

</rant>

Now the big question: Is there any way to get notifications and stuff running without installing tons of software on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ragnarkov:
I'm not sure about the other phones, but with the note 3, the current gear manager can let you push any notification that would normally show in the task bar, to show up on the gear. I think there are some issues with secure emails, but most should work without anything else other than gear manager.

Now I say I'm not sure about other phones besides the note 3, because they were all added to the compatibility list later, and not sure if there could be something that's not been ironed out yet.

If your wanting notifications without gear manager though, your out of luck without some serious modifying, if it's even possible at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aviguera:
I'm running one of the CM 11 nightlies with no Samsung bloatware at all on my phone, alas it's an unsupported Galaxy Nexus.

After fiddling with the individual Gear apps and Gear Manager, I'm able to get contacts, call logs (and incoming call notifications), TripIt and a few other tidbits working, but not much else.

Gear Manager seemingly works fine on my phone (sans a few crucial items like weather), but even after selecting additional notifications like Hangouts and Gmail, they don't show up on the phone.

Even with all of the provider apks installed and the phone / watch being paired, there's still a lot of missing functionality. My guess is that a lot of that Samsung "bloatware" handles a lot of this functionality, and (at least for now) it's baked into the OS and is required if you want full use of the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cb5264:
... and that's maybe one of the reasons for the stock firmware of samsung being a memory hog, slowing down the devices by eating much too much RAM.

Looks like there's no clean solution in sight...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Yes there is use a bloat cleaner script, heaps available.. or simply delete the apps you dont use like I do. :good:
[One (M7) Accessories] armorer243:
OK, after getting my One for Xmas and a little extra coin to spend, I am going to attempt to add on wireless charging.

Due to the nature of my work, I need a case to be on the phone. I destroyed two Thunderbolts before I finally corrected my rectal-cranial inversion and put it in a case. So I ordered up a UAG case for my One. After some research, I stumbled upon a little gem on ebay, a QI charging receiver with a microUSB connector. I figured for $8.50, why not? I will not be putting the pad inside of the battery door, but between the phone and the case. I also ordered up a no-name QI charging pad.

I will update the thread when everything comes in and let you know how well (or poorly) the whole scheme works. I know I am losing my ability to plug into the USB port, but I can use a Samba app to transfer files if need be. Also of note, I don't use NFC, so I will never know whether it affects NFC's ability to read.

If anybody has any questions or feedback, please let me know. What I'm hoping to do with this little project is add some functionality to an already amazing device without causing any cosmetic harm or irreversible alterations to a sexy design I will hate to hide in a case.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperion Razgriz:
:crying:Hello I buy an Xperia SP, it works fine for 2 minutes and when I open settings it closes randomly every time I try open it, the same result when I try with other apps and in the notifications appears the message "bug report failed no new crash data in dropbox" and sometimes the phone freezes and reboot.

I try update with PC Companion, with SUS (in this i can't find the SP in the list), Rooting and removing all the apps that crashes, using speedydroid to remove bloatware, uninstall apps provided by the carrier, change the rom for eXistenZ and the problem remains.

I was trying to find a clean stock ROM for this phone with no luck

My phone is this:

Xperia SP c5306

Locked bootloader

ROM 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254 Telcel

Hope someone can help me or say if it's software problem or hardware problem:(

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperion Razgriz:
I flash stock firmware... again and the problem persist :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
You rooted your device? Or how did you manage to flash existenz rom? It's kinda strange it works only 2 minutes after your purchase and you still manage to get root and install CWM to flash existenz rom :p

Further, what SUS version are you using? Mine shows the SP and is able to perform a repair
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperion Razgriz:
Jaja in the time the phone works fine I have enough time to root, then reboot and install cwm, and enter in CWM,, the recovery works fine, and flash the ROM.

My SUS version is 2.13.14.201312091927 and it dosn't appear, please send me your SUS installer an I check it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
Should be this one. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Serkenar:
This works like a charm on my i9100 SlimKat Build 3. The only issue so far's that photosphere doesn't work properly in landscape mode, but you can "fix" this by disabling autorotation.

Thank you!

Do a check with to see results are same, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest

GPS Status & Toolbox seems to have

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):

- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.

- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.

- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.

- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.

- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).

- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.

Hey guys, I'm going to be traveling in a week and I wanted to grab a case that covers the ports just to be safe. I know otterbox usually has these types of cases but sadly they aren't making any for the N5. I looked through most cases on Amazon and all of them seemed to not cover the ports up. Has anyone come across one that does? Preferably under 30 dollars.

The Ballistic SG Maxx Case offers great protection and has port covers, I cant post links yet but you can check it out at the ballistic case website.

The Armorbox port covers suck, for lack of a better term. The TPS plastic doesn't serve well as port covers simply because the material is a little too rigid.

The Ballistic SG Maxx case however uses a silicone setup for the port covers. Works very well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lchen5:
I also like the Otterbox case, especially commuter series, high quality, good protection and not too bulk, too expensive.

Maxboost case purchased. I don't use the hip holster but the case is great for $9.99

Black case does attract lint but besides that covers all ports but leaves holes for the mic and 2 holes for speakers.

Surprisingly doesn't add much bulk despite the pictures looking like it does. In short I'm very happy from a fairly demanding customer.

I am however waiting for a Trident Case as a higher quality one with maybe some color. This is a great cheap option for people who want a decent quality case until the heavy hitters come out. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Kenichi:
I've been watching Onavo's development for the past couple of years, and I've used it every once in a while, and I saw a bit of data saving happening. However since I only tried it on devices like the N4 which I had terrible battery life starting with, the connecting with the VPN killed battery life even further.

I'll be giving it a run again with my N5, forcing myself to use it for a week straight. The only thing I want to get rid of is the VPN Icon in the status bar.

I'm curious what everyone's opinion on Onavo's Data "savings" are. As well as, if you've used the app, how was your experience?
[Nexus 5 General] GhaladReam:
I've been having issues with Onavo Extend using franco.kernel, but I haven't tried any other kernels. Stock kernel works fine. What happens on franco.kernel is the key icon doesn't reappear after I connect to Wifi and thus stops working. I've reached out to Onavo for a fix but nothing yet.

Is anyone noticing this happening to their Nexus 5?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjTGQaK1Qvw

That's actually my video I did for the Galaxy Nexus. Google fixed it in an update, but looks like the Nexus 5 and the current KitKat 4.4.2 is doing the same thing!

I could recreate the same thing in the video with my Nexus 5 (not rooted, 100% stock ROM).

The reason I looked into it was because I noticed that I keep accidentally face-dial or hang up on people when I use my shoulder to hold my phone against my face. I guess holding it that way is enough of an angle to simulate laying flat on a table, thus disabling the proximity sensor.

Doesn't seem like a bug, but by design (albeit a BAD design).

Cany anyone else verify?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HavocRo:
My nexus 5 does the same thing :).I don't know if it's a bug or it's meant to be like this.My other issue i have with the proximity sensor is that sometimes after a call ended the screen doesn't turn on and i have to use the power button.
[Oppo N1] neovalkyr:
So I just ordered the limited CM edition of the Oppo N1, to replace this Xperia Z(with its busted camera) It comes with a really cool CM cyan colored case, and some CM stickers.

Only thing is that the CM version is only available in the 16gb flavor, which i kind of regret ordering cause i prefer to have at least 32gb of space.

Also there doesnt seem to be too much activity in these fourms yet. (The phone is still really new so its to be expected) But do you guys think there will be a lot of custom ROM development for this phone? installing custom roms is another reason i bought this phone, since my current android has a locked bootloader.
[Oppo N1] Harfainx:
If any of the major carriers picks up the N1, I'm sure that we'll see a lot of attention here because of having official CM.

This should being a lot of devs to the phone though, just because of how open to development the phone is. I hope to see it really take off and be made into something really great.

I don't really know about custom roms though. We already have official CM and Omnirom. Then there's Oppo's ColorOS which is pretty good already. I think all that we'll really see is modifications to those environments, but nothing really unique (I hope I'm wrong about that). Only time will tell though.
[Oppo N1] Entropy512:
Chance of any major carrier in the US picking up the N1 are slim to none - just because US carriers SUCK.

Thanks to Oppo's cooperation with the community, there's going to be much better support from custom firmwares than with most other devices.

A lot of the activity is over on oppoforums - While I usually prefer to keep all of my work on XDA and don't bother with any other sites, oppoforums is the exception as they are the official forums of the manufacturer (they are not just random fan forums) and as Oppo has been so supportive of many of us, quite a few developers spend lots of time there. (Maxwen himself only maintains threads there these days.)
[Oppo N1] at2smithjason:
I would at least like to think that the US carriers would take an example from oppo and embrace what a lot of the devs here are doing. It would also be nice to see some of the phone makers keep their boot loaders un locked as well. But wish in one hand....
[Oppo N1] Nexii:
Yeah that's not going to happen. Out of the major carriers Verizon has been the ballsy one to release a developer phone with unlocked bootlooaders. They don't release devices because they don't want to have to send out warranty replacements for people who brick devices.
[Oppo N1] Entropy512:
You forget that they only did that because they were forcing devices from OEMs that previously had never locked their devices to lock them down.

AT&T also is now forcing bootloader locking - and as a result HTC now offers the GPe and Dev Edition One units. T-Mobile is forcing Sony to lock down the T-Mobile Xperia Z (not very "uncarrier" of them...). Unlike VZW, HTC can do it directly for people on AT&T and T-Mo since both carriers are GSM - stick your SIM into an unlocked device and go, as opposed to Verizon who make it a nightmare to activate non-VZW devices.

People on GSM providers are lucky in that they can purchase unlocked devices and use them. (N1 plus Straight Talk would be a great combo.)
[Oppo N1] Harfainx:
That's exactly what I'm using. AT&T Sim on Straight Talk. I just had to refill my monthly payment last week. I think I got it like November 18th and haven't had any problems so far. :highfive:
[Oppo N1] neovalkyr:

Are there any issues with the color os apps after changing dpi? No force close or anything?
