I don't have your problem:

1.it stay connected ALWAYS

2.it lost connection only if out of range or I have a wall between me and my phone

3.the battery life is good: once I used the smartwatch FIVE days with 1 charge!!! Not so bad...

4.nfc not work with me too, but I made the manual pairing and don't have to pair it agains so often to make this a problem...

I think that if you use it without bluetooth connected, maybe you have to use it a week without charge it... so if your battery charge don't work, I think you have to turn it back!

The other problems maybe are for the rom on your phone... or some problem with bluetooth signal (microwave or other ...)... i don't know.

I'm very happy with my smartwatch... maybe it is not perfect, ofcourse, but for now I use it with notification, mute calls, active wifi or airplane mode from swatch, look at calendar from watch, etc...

I can live without it, but I think I live better with it.
[Sony Smartwatch] yomiguy:
If I were you I would look in Amazon. Maybe you can get it cheap with the rubber one, and later you can buy a cheap but good band on eBay ;) all 24mm bands suit for this smartwatch so it's easy to change it. Anyway, I'm very satisfied with the rubber one :)

About the problems mentioned here I didn't have any of them.

I could pair it easily with nfc, it never disconnect except being very far from mobile or having walls between both devices. The battery life is simply amazing! The shortest period of time was 4 days having used it a lot, and the longest 5 or 6 using it more or less...

Once you get used to it you need it everyday, mainly in the street :)

I have to say all this goodness is with my s4.

Perhaps it depends on the mobile you pair with smartwatch ;)

[Sony Smartwatch] ChriG_Swe:
I don´t recognize this at all.

1. I don´t think it costs too much, I´m very happy with what I got for the money.

2. I have never lost connection to the phone "unintentionally".

3. Battery life for me has been 3-4 days and I get a lot of mail since I got my work email through TouchDown and then FB, webmail etc.

4. NFC connection worked perfectly (not that it matters that much since you only use it once..)

I think the rubber band looks better because it tapers to the width of the watch. I haven't had any of the problems mentioned earlier in the thread. I love it. I paid $150 CDN off Kijjii BNIB.

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cikenkari:
download the firmware from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100, then flash with ODIN 1.85, hope it help
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cikenkari:
have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Christiaan91:
If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9h3seu88m8yh35b/SecSettings.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8y5m880tvzg0trx/SecSettings.odex
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PaulN543:
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xevidroid:
I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
[Networking] zoidster:
Following on from their threats to begin charging on 31st March (as per other thread )

I can still see no activity on the online bill checker

I'll be a little bit annoyed if they don't charge as threatened now - As I have gone out and bought an MDA Pro with their one of T-mobiles new unlimited web tarrifs to compensate :(

Anyone noticed they are being charged yet ?
[Networking] coolbeans252:
think its from may 2nd onwards when they said they were going to start charging
[Networking] zoidster:
Some of us were told 2nd May (as you suggest) - and some of us were told 31st March (like me ) but there is nothing moving on the GPRS counter on o2's site yet !

Ah well , now I have two universals and a Vario anyway :roll:
[Networking] Anon:
If we didn't receive a message stating March or May (I only signed up to o2 in January), then is it safe to assume unlimited free access (based on earlier experiences) or do they even have to tell you that they are now charging? As this is outside what you are supposed to be paying for (ie, their tariffs say you should be paying, with only 100kb free a month - pointless limit as that lasts less than 10 minutes!), then I suppose that they could legitimately charge and backdate if the mood took them?

Does anyone know the official view? I haven't used it this past month much as I became worried that I would be landed with a hefty bill - I even went off and bought a Safecome SDIO Wifi card for home use (another thread, another problem!) after happily having XDAII pda internet access for two months.

Many thanks

UPDATE -

From yesterday (my billing date) I have a new Item on my "usage" page of their online bill checking facility :(

Where it used to say "texts , media messages , voice calls," they have now added "UK GPRS Mobile web "

Fortunately when I noticed , mine was at 937k (I get 1mb free)

Time to switch :(
[Networking] belfast-biker:
T-Mobile, Flext + unlimited data - damn good price. And I work for O2 Sales.
[Networking] zoidster:
Already have ! :lol:

Ordered an MDA pro for £99 on Flext 25 + Web'n'walk on 31st march - as soon as the deals appeared onsite

Bit of a coincidence eh ? o2 starting to charge and Tmobile offering the first (reasonably priced) flat rate GPRS deal , all on the same day !

:wink:
[Networking] belfast-biker:
Yup. O2 are increibly slow moving on this and have been caught on the back foot by flext + unlim data.

We charge £75 for unlim data, T-Mob now charge £7.50. Ten times less.

Our new business tariffs are nowhere near as good as T-Mobiles FLEXT accounts.

We're gonna get creamed by T-Mobile, absolutely creamed. I've sold NO phones at all this week, against a target of 2 per day, it's depressing. Business customers need to keep their numbers too, which means going back to Retentions to get it, and retentions ALWAYS beats or matches our prices!

Luckily I got offered a job out of the blue last night, and hooked up with a girl whos a friend of the girl who offered me the job out of the blue as well, AND my HT820 headphones arrived last night, just in time for the new A2DP upgrade for my Exec.... so I'm not complaining too much... ;)
[Networking] belfast-biker:
They've started charging me from 30th March!!!!!

They charged me £81 for 30th March and £18 for 31st March!

I've disputed the bill, let's see what happens.
[Networking] Clivectmob:
o2 GPRS

You should be ok, I have just recently joined the wonderful ranks of T mobile flext + web n walk (25% discount on the flext 30 so £22.50 and if you sign up the web n walk for the term on taking out the contract its only £5.60ish pm). Bur before I was on o2 enjoying the benefits of free GPRS.

What I did was keep phoning customer services about once a month and noted who i spoke to, the date and time, and got them to confirm it was still free and that they would inform us by post or text if they were to start charging.

Of course they didn't, and one day I received a hefty bill (as expected). I phoned them up and quoted each person I had spoken to, the date ,the time and what they had actually said and they just couldn't argue. After a bit of debating they decided to let it drop :wink:

Good ol' T-mob, thats what I say !!!
[Networking] belfast-biker:
Re: o2 GPRS

I'k simply not giving them the money they're asking for for the data. Why should we have to run round circles coz they're ****wits?

The CS girl asked me to fax my bill etc etc, but why should I? I'm gonna email cs again, tell them the score, get them to SORT it. I've canceled the DD, so they can whistle.
[Networking] Clivectmob:
o2 GPRS

I should have said that i've experienced loads of hassle with o2 CS in the past, which is the reason why I noted everything.

The only reson I stayed with them last time was because they "made me an offer i couldn't refuse." When they said that this year, I told them to stick it where the sun don't shine.

T mobile are definately on to a winner with flext and web n walk. I've been after a tariff like this in years. Also, their coverage is up with the best now too.!!
[Networking] belfast-biker:
Re: o2 GPRS

Yeah, in June, when the Vario II is likely released, I'll be six months into my 1 year with O2. Thank God I didn't let the appeal of free texts and minutes sway me to an 18 month contract. I'll then simply reduce to the lowest tariff*, and once that's implemented, I'll buy it out.

In the meantime, I'll get the Vario II from T-Mobile on the Relax+webwalk tariff, since I only ever do 1 year deals

The incompetence of O2 will be a distant memory. I can only hope that T-Mobile aren't equally stupid.

* Would I have to give 28/30 days notice for this?

Someone on the MSE forum has just been billed for £370 of GPRS (backdated :shock: - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=194449). I notice that my online unbilled calls area is showing 100KB used when it hasn't recorded anything before (since January).

Do they have to tell you that they are now recording data usage? I suppose they will claim they don't need to as they never said it was free anyway :roll:.

[Networking] belfast-biker:
In my case they DID say it was free. Your friend there should not have b4een charged for data on 29th, 30th, and 31st March. He should query that, refuse to pay it, like I did.

Bother!

Just noticed a new heading has appeared on my online bill this month. Under "Unbilled Usage" it has another heading "Unbilled Usage to Date" - clicking on that now shows UK GPRS Mobile web - spent £30 last month without even realising it (as it has been free in previous months). No text message notifying me of this.

Ah well, end of that then :cry: .

[Networking] Oliy:
I'm pretty sure I never got notification that they would start charging me. Under my GPRS usage it says I have used it twice, for a total of about 400kb (I've used it way more than that) but under my Inclusive Allowance details it says I have 905 (whatever units that is in) this month, 0 used, 905 remaining.
[Networking] karl578:
Holy Moly!!

I just found out that they've charged me an unbilled amount of £73 for gprs usage!!!!

Called them up and they agreed to refund it!!

However £2.35/Mb is ridiculous in my opinion! I upgraded to the O2 XDA mini S with AKU2, so I could use it with my Exchange 2003 SP2 server for Direct Push Mail!!!

My tariff is O2 500 @ £17.50 pm + £4.99 insurance & (now;today) £8 pm 5Mb bolt on.

I don't receive a huge amount of emails in a day, say 8 or 9, and they average at about 6 to 12k. The Mini S is also set to not download any emails bigger than 25K.

Considering this, my Spb GPRS Monitor software reports an average of 600KB a day (sometimes less; 200KB, sometime more; 1MB), which works out to about 17.5MB a month!!! Well over my (new) 5Mb/pm allowance!!!

This is far too high for what I would consider 'regular' usage!!!

By the way O2 do give you the first 100KB of usage for the month free!!! Even the customer advisor I spoke to admitted this was a joke!!!

O2 will rake it in with corporate customers if they start using AKU2 features!

I would like to stay with O2, have been with them for over 11 years (BT Cellnet days)!!

But customer loyalty could go out the window on this one, am seriously considering refunding my XDA Mini S on under the 14 day period, and moving to a T-Mobile Flex-t tariff!!

What do you guys think?

[Networking] karl578:
Am gonna try the following to reduce my daily average data usage! :

Exchange 2003 Server heartbeat time-out values

In order to maintain a persistent connection between an Exchange server and a mobile device, DirectPush makes use of so called heartbeat intervals. This is so that the server can keep a connection open to a device all the time, even though no changes occur in a mailbox. The Exchange server adjusts this heartbeat interval automatically, it keeps the last heartbeat interval received from a device. But you can also configure the value for the heartbeat intervals in a set of registry keys on the Exchange server, although it shouldn’t be nescessary. For details on how you configure these values, I recommend you take a look at MS KB article 905013.

Firewall considerations

In order to maximize performance as well as provide a better always-up-to-date experience for the end-users, it’s highly recommended that you increase the time-out values for HTTPS connections on your firewall. Depending on what type of firewall is used in your organization, this is of course done differently. For steps on how to do so on an ISA Server 2004 firewall see MS KB article 905013, these steps should give you an idea of how you should approach this with another firewall product as well.

Note:

Failing to set the time-out on the firewall to minimum 15 minutes (MS recommends 30 minutes) will among other things result in poor battery life time on the mobile devices as well as increase data transfers over the wire.

That's fine if you're running Exchange Server yourself and have the skills to go along with it.

I recently bought a Tegra Note and i want some advice from the rest of the community , it would be nice if people can post what cases they have bought as i am unable to find a cover for the tegra note which protects both the back and the front or just the back (gel case).

Is there really no cover or case which has been made for our tablet ( all functions including camera accessible)?

Thanks for the contribution.
[Vega General] e8hffff:
There is a flap cover but you will have to shop around as some are made for Asian Tegra Note and others for Western Market. The Asian versions maybe cheap but maybe weaker than official Nvidia designs. Like the flap-cover equated to about $10 for me buying off AliExpress.com when included in a bigger order.

You could find a seller of this tablet that also does the flap cover and ask if they will sell separately.
[Vega General] jerico9:
Hi mate theres a few on fleebay that it fits in but not properly due to the shape and speakers set out. However the offical smart cover has just hit the UK

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...ga-tegra-note-7-cover-black-21847928-pdt.html

Its a Rip for £20 but they look smart in them. The Note 7 has a magnet on the bottom speaker side at the back

Its worth getting you can buy 3 or 4 cheaper ones over time will fall apart and not look as good or buy the real deal. Mines on order for pick up later today:0)

No discount codes either but 3% back on quidco thats a maga 0.60p yay.

You could wait a few months until the copy ones come out and other people have more to sell
[Vega General] BelfastGonzo:
Tegra case isn't great

The official covers seem to have sold out at PC World and Currys. I found out today when mine broke and I tried to order another one. I liked the cover but it was not worth £20. When mine broke, it was the hinge that snapped with little force. But I was able to see that the silver plastic hinge is not strong enough; the plastic is too weak and the metal bar that holds it is only an inch long at each end and very thin. You can also see that the amount of plastic surrounding the bar is minimal, so don't lift the cover in a way that leaves the tablet dangling. Essentially, these are design flaws that mean it doesn't last long. A pity, as the sleep mode and variable viewing angles allowed by the main cover worked well. I haven't yet found a copy. Better materials and a little more thinking in the design department about the official cover and I wouldn't need one.

Well guys I have a rooted with bootloader locked C6943 I did unlock the bootloader did the procedure to root and then restored my TA partition and it's fine until now. My question is, I have the TA backup, can i flash roms like CM11 and other with KitKat and then if I decide to go back to stock could I restore this TA backup and restore the DRM and use X-Reality, Exmor and Sony stuff again?

Thanks in advance.

Did you Backup TA after or before Unlocking Bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
That's really the only unclear thing in OPs post.

If you did backup TA partition before unlocking the bootloader, then yes, you will always be able to go back to completely stock. If you did ever unlock the bootloader before backing up the TA partition, then no, you won't be able to activate things like BIONZ.

Enviado de meu C6943 usando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Then Yes, you can go back to original state. But to flash CM11 you have to unlock bootloader again and from that point before even thinking to relock your bootloader you have to Flash a Stock FTF first, if you relock your bootlader on CM11 with Custom Kernel you will brick your phone.

That mean if ever will work you will not have Digital TV because the C6903 don't heve that.

BTW I will not do that, you risk to brick you phone. I know somebody who flashed a Stock C6906 FTF on C6903 and working fine but this is on your own risk and responsability. All the FTF are specified for certain devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rghvdberg:
A little history.

I just did a factory reset (stock rom) and when I rebooted I got a voice-mail message.

I had to manually input the voicemail number but I did it wrong, I put in 1123 ... (which is the WRONG number).

I dialed the voice-mail and noticed my mistake, so via settings I entered the correct voice-mail number (1233).

Although I listened to the voice-mail and deleted it, the message has been popping up in my notification area since then.

What I tried to do to get rid of it :

factory reset.

swap simcards with another phone. No vm message appears on the other phones. I haven't had the opportunity to use my simcard with another Android phone though.

install custom roms

revert to stock rom

disable Voicemail by my carrier

install HushSMS, trying the send a MWIVD (Voice Message Waiting Indicator DeActivation) but this option wasn't enabled

I you guys have any suggestions they are more then welcome.

Got a new phone, still the same voicemail message :eek: ...
