[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
Agree with what has already been posted. I bought my SW2 for $199 and lucked out to see Best Buy had a one day sale for $160. At $199 it was a decent deal, and at $160 it is a good deal. I was looking at the plain Pebble at about the same price. The Pebble has a few advantages: more and better developer community, more customization of watch faces and apps available, a bit longer battery life. I chose the Sony due to better build (metal vs plastic), better looking, and touch screen.

I use the SW2 to notify and read texts, email, sports scores and news, answer calls, catch tweets, and Facebook updates. I also use it to control music, view pictures on my gallery, access news feeds via RSS, and Yelp. I have tried the GPS extension and while it works I prefer to wait until an extension that does turn by turn arises. Other than email I am pretty happy with how the SW2 works going all of the above.

Downsides of the Sony? Wish email notifications were handled better. I have 4.3 and the stock extension doesn't work (not a Sony phone) and the stock Gmail extension does not work with 4.3 on my phone. Sony says they are working on it, in the interim I have my email read by Gmail on my phone, which is then read by K9 on my phone, and then the K9 extension on my watch reads the email. With all the hops it delays seeing the emails and it doesnt seem to catch all the emails. So I also use Watch it to notify on email and Watchify notify on Gmail. Better to get a few duplicate notifications than miss an important one.

To be honest, if HOT watch was out I probably would have purchased that one. More of a "smart" watch. And truthfully I am getting swayed by the Galaxy Gear. If it was closer in price and if my phone was running 4.3 at the time I purchased the SW2 I may have looked more at the Gear. Again, more "smart" things you can do. Plus, it is really cool what you can do with watch faces. Maybe down the road when the price and size comes down.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capmohamed:
i have got note 3 N9005 with the following info. android ver. 4.4.2 (N9005XXUENA2). it was working fine and i did not fine any problem with that firmware until i installed 2 applications the first is (APP2SD) and the second is (GL 2 App) and there was a free space of more than 4GB. Suddenly the phone restarted and first gave me a message of low space and all the phone builtin application (the gallery, the camera, the bluetooth, the s health and a lot of app) unfortunately stopped working. the free space shown in the storage tab in the settings is more than 4GB but when i enter any file manager such as "FX" or "EsExplorer" or "File Manager" even "My Files" gives me "storage media error" or "Access Denied" or "no storage media found" or "No Files" and off course i cannot find any of my data.

when i connected the phone to the laptop i found that the internal memory is 128MB only and completely empty.

unfortunately i tried a lot of solutions but with no solution.

1- to install the firmware again from the odin but the phone was not recognized on the laptop.

2- to restore the factory settings.

3- the wipe data/factory reset.

4- the wipe cache partition.

please i need help with this problem urgently. Many Thanks.

[Moto X Q&A] SemTechie:
Hey there,

Just read the recent news that Google has sold off Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. While I can't say this is surprising news, given recent rumors, it does change the landscape for current and perspective Moto X owners. So what are your thoughts? What does the acquisition mean for the relationship between El Goog and Moto, for future support of the X, and for the brand as a whole?
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
How do we know this changes anything? Does anyone really know to what degree, if any, Google was responsible for the Moto X? The only thing official that I heard was they would not be involved with Moto's day to day business.

The only changes I see coming are decisions that will be made to return Moto to profitability. Those may or may not be a good thing, but I don't see it affecting the Moto X during its life cycle.
[Moto X Q&A] hehfahq:
I also think Motorola has a multi-year agreement to continue to make "Droid" line phones for Verizon.
[Moto X Q&A] titanshadow:
Well, the design choices for the Moto X are definitely very Google in the style of the device, the focus on voice and on the phone trying to tell what you're doing by what its sensors tell it. The lack of crap-ware (at least to a bare minimum compared to Samsung and other manufacturers) is also not something you see often in the handset market. I'm not sure how much anything will impact the Moto X, but it is conceivable that it will impact it very little. However, it is also conceivable that since Lenovo desires to make a brand for itself in the handset market of the US that they are going to try to compete the same way the big players in the handset market do now. It is also the same way that Windows machines are built now, which Lenovo is very good at, load the machines up with as much crap and trialware as possible. They do this on Windows computers because say Norton pays them a large chunk of money to bundle their crap with the computer and this makes the device turn a larger profit margin per unit.

If Lenovo attempts to do the same thing with the Moto X once they have control over the platform they could very well decide to do the same thing, Verizon already does this with NFL mobile even on the Moto X. We could see an increase in trialware and other similar cruft, the note of the day for mobile devices is also currently ecosystem, is there something that Lenovo has they could try to load onto mobile devices to try to lock a person into their ecosystem, I think here to Apple's iTunes only devices but also Samsung making their devices interface with other Samsung devices to the detriment of the device experience as a whole.

I would like to see Lenovo start to take the high road and spend less time on crufting up and crapifying the OS and more time increasing value with an eye toward simplicity and the kind of 'just works' point of view that made the iPhone originally so powerful. This point of view toward simplicity and innovation also has made the Moto X so desirable.

I don't think the Droid line is ever going away really, it is an excellent brand with superb name recognition. It would be silly of them to stop making them, even without an agreement. Lenovo does this with the ThinkPad line that is bought the name to.
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
Hmm... Not if you consider what Google has chosen for the Nexus phone of late. Based on that, I'd say that it was quite the departure.
[Moto X Q&A] titanshadow:
You have a point, they are quite divergent from the Nexus line, but also from Motorola's Droid line as well. It does beg the question of who hatched the idea for the design doesn't it?
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
We may never know, but my money is on Motorola. I have always been a fan of their hardware. But not so much regarding the software experience. I don't think it would take a rocket scientist to make the determination that stock Android has matured enough at this point to not mess with it so much.

I think the one thing that Motorola might have taken from Google is more of a willingness to listen to your customers, and by this I mean users and not carriers. I think with the Moto X they have really stepped it up in this regard. It has resulted in the first real hit they have had in some time (with both the press and user communities). I doubt they will waiver from this discovery anytime soon.
[Moto X Q&A] tagumcity:
Lenovo built IBMs Thinkpads before buying the brand, and for the most part the Thinkpad series has decent reputation. I think Lenovo will build Motorola into a formidable competitor to Samsung, which for current Motorola device owners will benefit.
[Moto X Q&A] BladeRunner:
Google hasn't exactly been a picnic for Motorola. Through sell-offs and layoffs they have trimmed Moto's workforce from ~20000 employees prior to their acquisition down to 3800. Hopefully Lenovo provides a cash influx into Moto, which has been hemorrhaging money for Google, and Google's continued cost cutting for Moto did NOT bode well for them.

One has to believe that Lenovo bought Moto with idea of building them up to become a force again in the handset market. What other reason could there be? Google got the patents out of them, Moto was not in direct competition with Lenovo and they're not exactly a cash cow for them to bleed dry.

I'm adopting a wait and see attitude but I really don't see the acquisition as a bad thing at this point.

I am trying to use the .getPixels function on a bitmap. My code is as following:

int pixel;

int[] pixels;

pixels = new int[height*width];

pixel =src.getPixels(pixels, p, etc, , , , ) //here IntelliJ is telling me that the Expected Parameter is int[] but the Actual Paramer is "pixels"

Thank you!
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
No, the method getPixels() doesn't return anything (it returns void). But with int pixel = src.getPixels(...) you want an int returned by the method.

Maybe you want use getPixel (without s) instead.

Hey I dropped my Moto G and the screen is cracked but its just the glass.

The touch screen works 100% and the actual display is not broken at all just the glass that covers it

I took this to plaza technologia in Guadalajara which has tons of mobile phone repair shops and either I was told that they did not have the part to repair it because it was 'too new' or that they wanted to charge me almost the same price as buying a new phone just to repair it.

Any ideas?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] layman:
Hi,

A newbie, dummy, etc to the WM5.0, o2 xda exec device and what not + great to see this resource out there. I have got no WiFi or BlueTooth setup, the device set me back heavily for a good little while ;-)

Meanwhile attempting to develop some apps at home, I am trying to avoid O2's call plan data usage and connect to desktop PC (ie. some custom TCP apps running on it) as well as attempt to use its internet connection via USB/ActiveSync.

Have looked around for hours, hit google and more, and all I could find is help topic in ActiveSync : 'Use ActiveSync to "pass through" this computer, which of course I can't see working. For example, pocket IE just comes back with 'address is not valid' for any IP address I specify.

I can see the IP addresses associated with ActiveSync, ping them etc. but for the life of me I can't figure out what's required to use the pocket IE or any TCP client on the device to see the desktop's IP address or use its internet connection.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Andy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mnmseven:
In ActiveSync, go to connection setting. At the box "This computer is connected to", choose "The Internet".

It suppose to work now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] layman:
Thanks for the prompt reply. Have tried that, and what it presents is 'automatic', 'work', and 'internet'. I would have imagined it would present an option to chose my dial-up connection but nope, only those three choices are there.

None of them work, my setup does use a USB modem but I suspect that might not be a problem (although ActiveSync (4.1) seeems to be touchy about other USB devices judging by some web searches).

What I do see is a new Local Area Connection in network control panel for the mobile device. All its IP properties are set to automatic (private IP is automatic too). Event Log on the desktop doesn't report anything wrong either.

I try to use IP adrresses as URLs in Pocket IE only, hence it eliminates DNS issues or similar. I've also wiped the firewall to make sure it is not interfering in any way but still no luck.

What I am wondering now is whether this automagically works for others, if they had to add new modem connection or something on the device, and whether they had to enable Internet Connection Sharing on their dial-up (which I tried and messed up IP addresses and DHCP to some extent so I reverted back).

Any hints where I could be screwing up appreciated.

Regards,

Andy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] layman:
From what I understand reading all day long (won't give up easy;), is that pass thru is achieved through layered LSPs but somehow it's not working (question being does it really work with an USB/Dial up broadband).

And miserably failing at it, the network connection given to PC has following:

DHCP enabled

IP-Address : 169.254.2.2

Subnet-Mask: 255.255.255.0

Defeault-Gateway: (none specified)

DHCP Server is the Windows CE device and given address 169.254.2.1.

I would appreciate if someone can share their (working) Remote-NDIS Host settings from device in Settings/Network Cards/The Internet.

Thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] layman:
Found and grabbed the settings off the web and some other forums, (169.254.2.1, and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0), things get "better".

"better" = another mega piece of nonsense.

R-NDIS Host now reconfigured, Pocket IE is still unable to use the USB dial-up broadband (no USB hubs involved on the desktop pc btw)

By some odd accident, started the MSN and while it refuses to check mail or similar (edit: it did allow it eventually), its chat features are working perfectly fine. Looking at desktop trace it goes off to :

ip48.hotmail-ppe.com via https

While that will return nothing to a browser based setup it certainly manages to use the desktop PC's connection as wireless is totally off on the device (called flight mode off is it, or similar?).

If anyone has seen or could explain this, or what on earth to do to get the IE (which consistently refuses with 'The address is not valid') to see the desktops connection from here, I'll be their slave for a week ;-)

Regards,

Andy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] layman:
Matter solved, notified the networking and hopefully they pass it to IE team.

Put simply, write your own web-browser and it'll work

;-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Glaps:
The fact that you can see the new Local Area Connection (Windows Mobile-based Device #..) proves that your Pocket is connected with your PC.

The “Remote NDIS Host” setting can be “IP address allocated by server” (then you may have an error message, but you should share the PC internet connection with the Pocket), or “Specific IP address” 169.254.2.1 (Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0).

So, your problem may come from the connection that PIE is trying to use.

The settings of “Parameter/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks” should be “Work Network” (réseau de bureau in French) in which :

General = parameters set name

Modem = “empty”

[VPN = “empty”]

Proxy parameters = “This network connecting to Internet” ticked

“This network connecting to Internet through a proxy server” NOT ticked (unless you are connecting to internet through a proxy server).

Sometimes, when you change from GSM/GPRS/UMTS networks, you must soft reset the Pocket to make sure that PIE will use the newly selected network.

In my case my PC is connected to the ADSL modem through a router, which is used as a DHCP server. Then my pocket is getting an IP address by the router in my local network range (different than 169.254.2.1). I don’t know if the connection of the modem on USB can be a problem, but I don’t think so.

You mentioned “some custom TCP apps running on” the PC, did you try without?

Good luck
