[Sony Smartwatch] Calystos:
Yup, but there were two updates in December, the first was the major one for the firmware changes/etc, but there was a minor one shortly after which was to fix some bugs and stability changes. Am guessing the 2nd one was just the launcher side maybe.

And I agree, that timeout thing is extremely annoying and should be a setting we can change. Its okay for say if you just wanna quickly check something, but not if your trying to read a message on the screen, etc.

I'm not sure, but it looks like they are changing the way the watchfaces work in the next update. So hopefully that will let us adjust or make use of things better to display notifications/etc better. Here's hoping. It's great we have third party apps that can do it all for us, but because the way sony did the api these ones aren't replacements to the watchfaces and are constantly running thus reducing the battery faster which sucks. Fingers crossed on this one though, as like you I'm hoping they do something to let us adjust the notifications better. The built-in options are just rubbish.

EDIT: I also hope they bring back the widgets option that they removed a while back. It'd be nice if we could use widgets on watchfaces/etc.

EDIT: Just had a thought, can anyone remember if after they installed the software update from play store did it automatically update their actual watch firmware too or did you still have to remember to go to about->update accessory manually? I can't remember if mine gave a notification and asked, or if I just did it myself.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
hmmm, i vaguely remember it did that automatically, not sure

about the selectable timeout, i really wish Sony would communicate with users/customers about these things

i posted some ideas back in october last year, never got anyone from Sony to reply, selectable timeout is one of them

posted here, then at their request here, same result, zilch

so i'm not expecting much from the next update

Hear is the answer fron sony support:

"Dear .,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.

We can confirm that the roll out of the 1.0.B.4.80 has begun globally. This is a gradual roll out which means some handsets in each region may receive the update at different times. We do not have any exact dates as to when each handset in each region will be receiving this.

All information we have regarding when the roll out for each specific handset is expected to begin can be found on our Product Blog. We would recommend that you regularly connect your handset to PC Companion to ensure you are notified when the update reaches your handset.

To carry out the update you will need internet access and a USB cable.

It may be the case that user data is lost during this upgrade. We therefore recommend backing up any data to your SIM card, Memory Stick, or PC before upgrading.

Please follow the steps below to download and install the PC Companion software:

1. Go to www.sonymobile.com

2. Select Support

3. Choose your handset from the drop down list

4. Select "View All Software Updates"

5. Download for PC

6. Check the requirements and then "Download PC Companion"

Once you have installed the Sony PC Companion you will need to launch it. Once it opens connect your phone to your PC in Media Transfer mode or mount the device and then go into Support Zone > Phone Software Update. If you then follow the instructions that you will see on screen, the update should then begin.

Wow memory stick? Pc companion? Really? And phone firmware upgrade steps?? Instead of smartwatches 2? I guess either she is making fun of us or she does not really know what she is talking about...

[Sony Smartwatch] Calystos:
I was a bit puzzled as to that mail too, seemed a lot like mostly just the usual automated reply garbage most big/major companies spew out rather than actually reading and replying properly. Only thing that they got right was the info about the version and whatnot, lol.
[Sony Smartwatch] uh60james:
Downloaded the update software by using a link for another device thinking maybe the website just hadn't been updated. Nope, Smartwatch 2 isn't even in the list of devices in the software. WTF Sony.

Live View and OG Smartwatch are in the list.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
rollout has started, but no one got it yet?

[MENTION=268474]steliosk[/MENTION] how about a hint? :)
[Sony Smartwatch] steliosk:
As I can see the message I have mentioned before is totally wrong, so I am waiting the update by the only way I know: smartconnect.
[Sony Smartwatch] toyface:
Yeah, this all seems like automated rubbish from Sony. I am really displeased with how they have handled this update, although as I am sure many have said, we probably weren't supposed to know about this. Still, telling users to use the PC software suite, which doesn't even work with the SmartWatch 2 is lazy and bad practice.

I'm trying some tricks to get the latest version from the Play Store, but I don't think we will see this until the Z2 launches. Whenever the hell that's going to be.
[Sony Smartwatch] duchian:
this doesn't work for me. PC Companion don't recognize my SW2...
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
The last I heard was the end of April for the release of Z2. But maybe they postponed that yet again I am not sure.

Is it that bad that a user asks a question in the wrong sub-forum? If you're going to help a user, post.

If you're not going to help, don't post. Its as simple as that.

If it bothers you, report the thread (which none of you did), and we'll move it.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
Just go to development thread for available custom ROM's. Each ROM's has instructions on how to flash it there too.

1. root ur phone link

2. install clock work recovery via odin link

3. flash custom rom u like link

Just don't forget to back-up your important files like contacts, messages, etc. You can also do a nandroid back-up if you want.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darky2106:
One beautiful day the phone just restarted from itself. (wasnt really shocked though) After that it entered again into a boot loop, Im saying again because it happened once before and i noticed it was the SD Card and I just had to format it. So far so good, but now it doesnt matter if I pull out the SD Card or SIM, even battery... once ive put the battery the phone starts booting from it self and restarts everytime on a different place, like samsung logo, CM logo, CWM recovery, download mode.. it just cant stay on one place so i can choose an option. Only once ive managed to do a cache and dalvik wipe, also didnt help. Keeps rebooting and rebooting. Ive tried different ways of booting, with USB cable, with the recharger adaptor and without them. Left it for a whole night without battery, didnt help. I cant even manage to flash the stock ROM again, still reboots. I thought the power button was stuck or something, tried moving it arround but also didnt help. If you ask how many time Ive flashed the device... well perhaps countless, about 40 times counting the stock firmware. (maybe this number for some other maniacs is little, but now i see it like too much, because im kinda attached to this phone, the previous HD2 suffered a lot more xD) So guys my question is, do you have any suggestions? Ive searched the internet to check if the symptoms are close to hard brick but... didnt really saw any identity. :o
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
So.....

Normal boot.....it reboots, shuts off reboots.......?

Recovery mode.....reboots, shuts off, reboots.......?

Download mode.....reboots, shuts off, reboots......?

Battery insertion.....reboots, shuts off, reboots.......?

Same sequence every time?

Irrespective of which of the above scenarios is taking place?

If you just sat and watched it without pressing any buttons, will it endlessly reboot, shut off, reboot?.....

During this cycle, does it get to the same point in the boot process before restarting?.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darky2106:
Thank you! I thought nobody will answer. It reboots right after passing 3 to 5 seconds, sometimes on the CM Samsung splash, sometimes on the spinning CM circle(boot loading image), when i succeed entering CWM or download mode reboots again. I cant boot it normally and reach the home screen. I read something that it could be from the kernel boot code, im using CM 10 (if im not guessing wrong).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
I've answered a number of threads in the XDA W forum where members were experiencing similar issues to yourself. I doubt it's software related as during access to download mode and recovery mode , the phone isn't even using the "main" system software and kernel....these modes use their own independent kernel and system (it would be HIGHLY unlikely that two separate systems and two separate kernels are suffering from the same fault).

If all of the symptoms I wrote about in my original reply apply to your phone, then it all points towards a faulty power button.

As I understand it, Samsung uses a type of button commonly referred to as "temporary push to make" which means that when you push the button, two contacts are bridged to make an electrical connection but when you release the button the contact is broken. Under normal circumstances, this "make, break" sequence will start a normal boot sequence. Under normal conditions, long pressing this button again will begin the shutdown process. Now assume for a moment that the button has become damaged....where this contact that is meant to be momentary, has in fact become permanent......the result would be a phone that will attempt to start up and shut down in an endless cycle....basically, YOUR phone........
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darky2106:
Yeah, I also thought that as a reason but discarded it quickly because the button doesnt have any problems when pushing it. I mean it freely comes back when pushed and i can also freely push it without problems. Also discarded that problem because i thought the button cant stop the booting cycle while booting, but it seems like it can. Thanks for all the answering I will try fixing it and will report as soon as possible. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
The plastic button is separate to the electrical part I described....so it is entirely possible for the part you normally touch to *seem* to be working as it should.....only for it to work against the faulty electrical part........

And yes, that type of fault IS caused by the permanent contact of a faulty electrical button. Anybody who has a normally booting W (as I do) can re create this fault simply by pressing and holding the power button......the phone WILL enter a boot/shut down/reboot cycle for as long as the button is held........

The same condition can be re created on my S2 in exactly the same way as well.....

Sent from my Infected KitKat bar.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darky2106:
Well.. bad news.. i've managed to disassemble it, tried to see whats wrong with the button (not the plastic one), tried moving it arround, nothing seems to be damaged, still stable at one place, also tried booting the phone 3 times without any covers and the result was the same...

Perhaps i should drive it to service.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Check your date of purchase.....Samsung phones have a two year warranty.......

Sent from my Infected KitKat bar.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darky2106:
Well bad luck here also, i got it almost brand new from England and I'm not from England. :D I bought it over online shop sold as a second hand long time ago, it was just a matter of time to damage him. Thanks anyway for all the help, I'll see what i can do with the service.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Bad luck mate.....word of caution though.....as you've found out, the button is soldered directly to the motherboard, Samsung's "modus operandi" seems to be rather than attempt to repair the button, simply replace the entire MB........for a phone that is outside warranty, this will have (erm) "cost implications" lol......basically they like to charge as much as they can in situations like these.....eg/ board replacement when button repair would be enough.....

Sent from my Infected KitKat bar.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
True, my phone suffered the Power Off Loop as you may know from my previous thread. I decided to send my phone to a couple of repair shops and they said that the phone "cnt be repaired". i thought they knew about the change of MB but no. So rite now, my Galaxy W is in the grave ... :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mynameisiwan:
i had encountered this issue with my galaxy wonder today and would like to seek for solutions over the internet. regardless that i also checked the button by disassembling the covers and separated the plastic button with the one on the board and tried to boot it but it still the same.

as most of you guys experienced this issue, what would you guys suggest me to do with my phone? i wish to save this phone for sentimental reason. would change the button DIY-ly is worth it? is it available for me to get the parts?

or did you guys manage to get a better solution?

thanks! :)

[Moto X Q&A] NightThyme:
I factory reset my locked Moto X running 4.4 before I rooted it and that erased my customized wallpaper :( I was able to get a copy of it from the threads on the other subforum but when I set it to wallpaper, it is not the same aspect ratio as it was originally. I know this because a friend has the same one and they did not factory reset theirs so I can compare them.

I looked at my friend's phone and they have a folder /customize/ and /customize/wallpaper. In the /customize folder there is a file called personalization.json and in the /customize/wallpaper there are 2 image files - 82PA00000051.jpg and 82PA00000051_small.jpg.

The contents of the json file are:

{"personalization":{"dp":{"wallpaper":[{"file":"wallpaper/82PA00000051.jpg","default":"true"},{"file":"wallpaper/82PA00000051.jpg"}]},"pp":{"frontClr":"#000000","backClr":"#300d04","accentClr":"#212121"}}}

Anyhow, since I am rooted and have write protection disabled, I can create the /customize and /customize/wallpaper folders and put the jpg's and the json file in them exactly as on my friend's Moto X. But his phone is not rooted so I can't see what permissions need to be set for the folders/files.

When I do recreated it on my phone and then reboot, the /customize/wallpaper subfolder and it's contents goes away as does the json file. I suspect I don't have the right permissions set.

If anyone could tell me what the permissions are for these folders, subfolders and files are, that would really help me! Or if you have any other thoughts on why this isn't working for me, that would help, too Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
placing it into the gallery or just the folder where the other wallpapers are located should work. don't see a need to do all the above. SD card is where apps like zedge place their wallpapers after you download them. hope that helps!

That's what I did and it does not look the same. The aspect ratio is off.

Here is a picture to show you what I mean. On the left is the way it looks as it ships. On the right is the way it looks if you download it and set the file as wallpaper from the gallery.

Cool.

I'm noticing on the wifi that if pushed hard during charging (multi-window use with heavy video decoding) it just doesn't have much forward progress on charging. I have no idea how this thing will perform on a car charger with GPS running and screen brightness turned up to be visible in daylight. Hopefully it at least stays at a given level and doesn't lose ground on battery % in such a use case.

You can only save areas so large (not very big ones) and if you were planning a trip for vacation or something it would take forever to download them all.
