[Samsung Galaxy Gear] omniwolf:
I rooted it to put the Null_ ROM on it, because it looked really nice from the screenshots, and also I thought if i ever wanted to get a non Samsung phone then this would be the way to do it.

However it's not all it cracked up to be.. for the most part for the Null_ ROM extras to be useful you need to have bluetooth internet tethering enabled on the phone which will drain more battery on both devices, and if it disconnects you have to dive into the settings on both to enable it again. all the cool stuff where the phone just tells the watch about things (eg notifications, events, weather, contacts, etc) via bluetooth require a 4.3 TW ROM on your phone, and can be done without the Null_ ROM.

You also lose the double tap power button to open S-Voice, but this might be fixable by disabling the "Power button mod", whatever that is. I haven't looked too deeply - I have just setup a Nova gesture where you double tap the screen to open up S-Voice.

I think my watch looks nicer now with the ROM as you can choose wallpapers, but in my Nova dock i literally just have all the original apps that came with the phone, and the main widget is one of the original clock faces (the event one), i only have a second screen with a shortcut for going into the settings in case i need to enable BT internet, and a battery widget (which i can see by double two finger tapping the screen anyway).

I think the minimalist text widget that fOmey has in the screenshots on the Null_ thread look awesome, but they're just not useful enough. The next event widget is exactly what I need (apart from the time), and the ONLY way you can have a next event widget without requiring internet on the watch is to use the built in widget. If you're gonna use the built in widget, why flash a different ROM at all?

ahh .. anyway. I won't be flashing back to stock, but if i had my choice again.. i dunno if i'd bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
i put root and null rom on it so i don't have to return it to the store.

even after gear manager updates, stock watch is a overpriced notifier on your wrist.

after rooting it i customize it the way i want it, i have access to mostly used apps, i can use apps that were not designed to be used with gear and much more.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
i dunno, wanted root. i feel powerless without root :p

rooted every device since my gs1. And i know myself enough that i know that at some point i am going to get bored with the stock rom, and will start to customize the things i dont like.

then i want to know how;

the clock functions,

to get out of bootloops,

to simplify the process of adding apps not officially supported.

to theme elements.

to flash custom rom

to revert to stock.

now im prepared :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RiNo808:
Question, do you have to root in order to flash the recovery and null? Or I can just flan both without root? Also how do you return back to stock? Thanks in advanced...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrverde8080:
Mainly because of NULL rom. For me, without it Galaxy Gear would be useless! (and because after my first root, I root all devices, it gives to you the real power of the gadget!)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
You need root.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

I rooted to flash null as well and the only thing I like about it is you can record in 720p. But I don't see too much advantage since my tmobile note3 doesn't seem to have bluetooth tethering option so I can't take advantage of any null app that require data. Didn't like have Nova Launcher as it's just too small of a screen to do anything. That's why I bought a note3 as I wanted a bigger screen. So I mainly use tw on the gear. Besides the 720p recording and seeing all the extra app in the app list is cool but not a necessity. But I'm going to keep it like this for now.

Also forgot to add another advantage with null is shutter sound is gone. You can also achieve this without null but you need to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mmick:
Guys, I just have my new Samsung Gear after christmas, it works very well, still happy with battery life (around 3 days). Though I miss having a keyboard to reply SMS / Emails, or do some web search.

My question is...

If I want to keep everything as it is;

- default Samsung stuff, default clock widgets

- default auto Bluetooth connection (at least Gear <-> Note 3 do that automatically...)

but* I want to:

- install a keyboard to normally reply my SMS/Emails

- do some simple websearching, with Opera / Dolphin, etc. (My phone has BT teethring)

Can I do that just by roothing my device? :o
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] omniwolf:
the Gear is really a device that RECEIVES things - notifications, updates to display, etc. If you want to use it to SEND things, then you'll really have to root it and put on the Null_ ROM. With this you can enable bluetooth internet tethering, and the Gear can get full internet. With internet you can install apps like an email client and a keyboard (these actually come with Null_), and respond to emails etc on the Gear. Note: it's very fiddly using a keyboard on the Gear, even with swype style input.

Also regarding SMS, this can't really be done on the Gear as you would expect. As the Gear has no SIM card, you'd need an app on the Gear to talk to your phone and tell it to send the SMS.

But, you can actually do this via S-Voice. So if you're happy talking your SMS to the phone (which isn't too bad in my experience), you can get S-Voice to use your phone to send an SMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Flippy125:
I rooted mine because I wanted to be able to start my car from my watch, along with hooking it up with Torque to see my times. Being able to add wallpapers is nice too
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mmick:
Thanks for answering Omniwolf. Well, Gear is bidirectional, when you take a picture, when you answer an SMS via premade SMS/S-Voice, you are communicating Gear <-> Phone.

My goal is not to have an independent clock like "simvalley MOBILE AW-414.Go Smartwatch", but a little more than what Gear allows in the moment.

For example:

- Answering SMS only through premade SMS...a tiny keyboard option would be fantastic! S-Voice does not work for me, it works on yours???

- No option to quick answer Whatsapp/E.mail

- When I take a picture I cannot send it through E-mail/Whatsapp (option is disabled........)

- No google translate or something like that is possible with keyboard (there is an app that uses the camera but is far from practical...)

So, in theory I just want a Gear + Keyboard + SMS/Whatsapp/Email answer option (S-Voice does not work on mine! I have a Note 3 stock Samsung Android 4.3) + Google Translate. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tkjeeper:
I answer texts with svoice all the time. Does svoice work on your device? I've used it to call a contact, narrated a # to dial, and responded to texts.

I can honestly say that there is nothing missing from my stock gear that I wish I had.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
I think you can use tablettalk for that:)

sent from my carrier pidgeon
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] omniwolf:
yeah, i know the Gear can send things to the watch, it's a BT connection with is bidirectional. My point is that without rooting, the gear isn't designed to send things, it's more of a receiver. 90% of the things done on it are incoming, not outgoing. Sure, all photos go the other direction, and using S-Voice you can create a bunch of things on the watch, but it's the minority.

I think i've alread answered all your other questions, so i won't rehash (more), but it really seems like you want Samsung to add a bunch of outgoing functionality to the watch, which is fine by me, i think a lot of it would be useful.

Yes S-Voice works for me, make sure it's installed and usable on your phone before trying it on the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mtbooker:
To free myself of Gear Manager :)

BT tether + tablet talk = profit
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jewelzzp:
So worth it...

-Null ROM's feature set

-Bluetooth internet tethering (from a U.S. carrier stock ROM with BT tethering option nuked)

-Use with non Samsung device (probably going back to Nexus soon)

S voice is way too limited (even worse on the watch). Google Now and Internet access makes the watch worth the price tag. 300 bucks with a little research and now I can say "Can your Rolex do this?" So worth it...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Pedro2NR:
I wish S-Voice worked for me. It doesn't hear me well and I keep getting "I didn't catch that" even when I just want to confirm to send a text.

It gets frustrating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promaori:
My i9300 Galaxy S3 is not working as intended with one-time passwords. I used to have a GT-S5830 Galaxy Ace and the applications worked perfectly, however switching to the i9300, I am finding that the code generator in the facebook app no longer works when entering the key on the phone. Same thing when I try to use Google Authenticator. I scan the barcode and it won't accept the OTP I enter. And now, a more major problem, my Battle.net Authenticator isn't working. If it means I have to clear the cache and stuff, sweet as.

**FIXED** "Automatic Date and Time" was unselected under Settings>Date and Time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Danub:
What are peoples experiences and thoughts of it? I know it's pricey but kinda OCD in that way where I like all my stuff official. Does it still stay slim yet have a premium feel to it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vaibhav.ravi:
I think its a bit too expensive for me. I hardly drop my phone and take very good care of it. But from the reviews online, its a well constructed case with a premium feel. So if budget isn't an issue, you can get that. And it does offer decent drop protection.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ern88:
I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dre4mer16:
I just got mine in tonight. Will give you feedback in a day or so..

What I read was that the clear coat doesn't last as long and starts to peel...hopefully that doesn't happened...

I ordered the black one and I heard that the color ones is harder to see the peels.

What I like so far is that being that is is official..The case fits so perfectly without messing up my tempered glass screen protector; using iloome flex at the moment, MIME version is on the way
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OregonLawyer:
It's pretty awful, the non-black ones stain just from the color of your pockets and the coating rubs off of the black case.

Would not buy again.

Check on the thread regarding the LG hardshell which seemingly does exist and has the Nexus logo on the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Danub:
Hmm I was deciding on the red one too. So do most people have this colour problem too? I like it cos its quite nice looking and simplistic
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BirchBarlow:
PSA: Don't buy the OEM case

I currenly have a Diztronic case on its way...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OregonLawyer:
Yup.

While waiting on the LG hardshell to become available I ordered some .99 ebay quicksand cases. Some good reviews on this forum and they are simplistic without any branding.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Danub:
Oh I've heard of this Diztronic. Looks good but dunno if they sell it here in Hong Kong. Guess I'll have to order it online
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
This is what some people have been seeing with their Nexus 5 bumper cases.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oEj4hJsd0

The finish is peeling, and they have staining and discoloration.

There are better cases out there for cheaper. The only thing this one had going for it was the Nexus branding on it, but if the quality is crap there's no point.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leodani:
You could install a custom recovery (like Clockwork Mod) and do it from there but if you do a backup of your brikcked device... when you do the restore it will stay bricked so you have 2 options:

1) make a backup from the same device of a person you know.... there is one big problem of this... you'll get the same IMEI number as the other phone

2) buy a new one

Hard Reset G2 – In the case of password lockouts or freezing, doing a hard reset on your android device could help you get back to the factory defaults. First you need to make sure your tablet is powered off. Hold down on the Volume + button and hold down the Power button at the same time. As soon as the tablet's screen turns on let go of the Power button but keep the Volume + button held down until you see a large Android in the center of the screen. At this point you will see a screen with boot options. Use the Volume – button to go down to Wipe Data Factory Reset and tap the Power button to select this option. On the next screen use the Volume – button again to go down to Yes and use the Power button to select. At this point it will be going through the wiping and resetting process. When it's done you will see the first screen you came to when you first started the setup. Just tap the Power button to select Reboot System Now.

Make sure tablet is powered off.

Hold down Volume + button and Power button at same time.

When screen comes on let go of Power button.

When the large Android shows on screen let go of Volume + button.

Use Volume – button to scroll to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset

Tap Power button to select.

Use Volume – button to scroll to Yes.

Tap Power button to select.

Tap Power button to select Reboot System Now.

Think im screwed

Ok so I have a tri stealth g2 which was froze at boot logo, I was able to use aml flash tool and erased nand, unfortunatley the rom I installed was Novo7 which said it installed successsfully but I tried to power on my trio and nothing came on at all; however when I plug it in to my pc it comes up as a novo7 portable media player device and lets me access the internal storage. The problem is how can I flash from the internal storage, is there a program that will allow me to erase all data? The internal storage reports 5.47 gb and 5.37 gb free. Once again nothing comes on the screen so trying to gain access to any recovery not possible. I was hoping I could change the driver for the device back to the world cup driver for aml but it refuses to do it saying the driver isnt compatible grrrr. If anyone can help be appreciated.

So the tablet freezes on the boot screen i tried all the buttons to get to recovery mode, but i don't think it is working because once i get the correct buttons to recovery the screen turns black and nothing else happens i hold the +volume button & power button and i only get a glimmer of black i hold it for minutes at a time to see if anything happens and nothing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdydude2:
Same problem

I have the same Tablet and same problem. This is what I do. Leave it unplugged and on to drain the battery. After it has totally drained, recharge it then turn it on. If still won't turn on try the reset button. I use a needle to reset the tiny hole. If that won't work, hold the volume + and power buttons and hold until it turns on. This takes awhile to get it on. Then let go of the power button. If that doesn't work, I just try all the buttons and keep pushing them all and have got it to turn on. What causes mine to go black is if I hold the power button on too long. Just press it until you see Trio and let go immediately. It sucks. The tablet is actually great but that and really poor sound is its drawback.

Boot Logo

Same problem, stuck at boot trying to fix for a friend but it's looking doubtful now.

And it's missing the vol and power key so i have to use things to poke at them.

Things I've noticed though.

red charging LED turns green after hitting the small reset button.

If I keep holding down the vol+ after powering up it will stay green as soon as I let it go..

it turns red.

If I use vol+ with power and do not reset it then it will stay red.

To enter the recovery screen, you press the volume down button and the power button . . . not the volume up button like others have stated. Once in recovery, I wiped cache and did a factory reset, then rebooted the device. It went to the setup screen! And it only took me 5 minutes! :)
