[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] eurorauser:
Hi, I'm about to go for a Neo (don't need a camera), but the reason i returned my original gear was the "turn your wrist to turn the screen on" motin was either

- Too unreliable - meaning i'd be twisting my wrist like a fool just to see the time

- Annoying when i was playing the piano (screen went on/off like crazy)

I'm wondering if this is improved at all? Also, is it possible to actually turn it off completely?

Shame this watch doesn't have an always-on clock....

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] imaaronflux:
hi sir, you could actually go to setting, display, then wake up gesture and turn it off. hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Helga Pataki:
this is my first gear I don't know how good/bad the first one was

as far as I can tell: works really great

had no problems so far

that will never change

you move your arm --> motion sensor activates the screen

what you can do: lower the screen timeout to 10sec or deactivate the motion completely

settings -> display -> wake-up gesture -> off

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] rEVOLVE:
Mine is very flaky. Funny thing is I was missing the way my Pebble worked 95% of the time and meant to ask about this until I ran across this thread. With this, wrist flick is maybe 50%, OR I have to do an exaggerated arm raise motion - I can't just look down and flick my wrist like I would on my Pebble to see anything. Also when it does work, it's slow - there's like a half second where I'm waiting in suspense for the display to wake. Maybe you people that came from the older Gears are used to that and it's ok for you, but with my Pebble I was never waiting - maybe it's due to the fact that Pebble is only turning on the backlight from the sensor, as the display is on all the time.

Which brings me to my biggest frustration. I had hoped that somehow an AMOLED screen could be set up to be always on with just the basic info while still saving battery (like active notifications on the Moto devices). I hope that somehow there's a way to work around this and have a simple info display that could be always on (no colors/animations, just white text on the black background to save power). If i needed to charge every night, that's fine. I'd rather have that than look like/feel like an idiot shaking my wrist around and still not getting it to wake up. That's one of the reasons I returned the Sony smartwatch last year.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] markbc01:
I just received my NEO yesterday.

The motion sensor *is* rather sensitive and ANY vertical arm motion with even the slightest twisting kicks the phone screen on. At first it's interesting . . . after a while it's a bit annoying.

I would like to have a self-defined motion, or perhaps a bit more control over exactly when it turns on.

At least it would be better if we could reduce the screen time to 3 or 5 seconds that would lessen the distraction.

I turned the motion sensor off and that's actually pretty good -just got a text message and it displayed correctyl, and for now a quick press to see the time is not bad.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] colincumming:
Solution for loss of gesture control on Samsung Gear2 Neo.

Over time my neo appeared to become more and more unresponsive to my wrist movements until it stopped completely and only pressing the button allowed me to see the clock. After reading this post and the replies I decided to press the 're-set Gear' switch in 'Settings' on the Neo. This removes all the stored data from the device and restores the factory defaults.

After restoring the Bluetooth link using the gear manager app on my Galaxy S5 gesture control was restored and worked perfectly. Also I switched off the gesture control using the button in 'Settings' under 'Display' and that worked too.

What I can't tell you is why what I did worked. However as the onset of the problem was gradual it might suggest that it might be related to a gradual build-up of data in the Neo's memory that might be a factor affecting the device's performance. I suspect more time deleting alerts and notifications might help, or if you're not using your neo to play music or store photos and videos you could just do what I did as and when the need arises while we wait for Samsung to supply a system upgrade to solve the problem.

I hope this reaches you in time to stop you sending your Neo watch back as I have become very fond of mine. I too play pianos and synths but I've always taken off any watches before playing out of personal preference, but we can always switch our Neos' gesture control off while playing,:) but beware of any mics nearby picking up it's chimes!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] arcmanov:
My Neo is no longer responding to the wrist motion. I've tried resetting it to stock numerous times, and reloading (never restoring) all the software.

Could it be that the motion sensor has failed?

I got this in Dec 2014, and I'm really disappointed that this has happened already. It was easily my favorite feature. :(

Is there any test, or diagnostic I can run to confirm my suspicions?

Hi.

My wizard locks up as it loads the today screen after a soft reset

I sometimes have to soft reset it 10 - 20 times before i get a working today screen. I think it's due to applications that are on there starting all at the same time.

It gets really annoying sometimes when i cannot use my phone for 10 minutes or more.

I've got a mixture of applications starting including phm traylaunch, Resco today plugin, the tomtom today launcher, the radio display plugin and a few others off and on

Have disabled them one by one and nothing seems to help reliably.

once the today screen starts properly, the phone works perfectly until the next soft reset.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?

thanks,

malty
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luppas:
Hi Guys

Originally unlocked and rooted my nexus 5. Then the OTA update seemed to remove the root. I havent really looked into re-rooting but i need to wipe the device and I thought I may as well do it now. Having issue though

- Device is still unlocked when I go into the bootloader I see its unlocked

- Try to flash a custom recovery and when I follow the steps it goes to red exclamation (Im assuming meaning corrupt custom recovery, probably the old CWM before the OTA)

- Read through forums and they say I need to remove reboot-from-recovery.p file from the /system

- however I cant remove it without root and I cant get root without removing it

Whats the options here?

Thanks

SORRY JUST REALISED THIS SHOULD BE IN Q&A
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
hi, you're asking in the general section. which is wrong.

Just flash custom recovery again via fastboot and SuperSu via custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the exclamation point is the stock recovery. once you take in an ota, it removes both root and your custom recovery. to get your custom recovery back so that you can flash a bootloader(and the supersu root binaries). you can flash a custom recovery while youre in your bootloader via fastboot on your desktop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luppas:
Yeah just realised that. Sorry its my first post

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just read this again..when you are flash a custom recovery, and it still goes to the exclamation point, it means that you arent flashing the custom recovery right. its.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luppas:
Thats what I was trying to explain. I tried flashing custom recovery as per instructions but nothing happens. From what I am reading this is because of the reboot-from-recovery.p file which needs to be deleted BUT I cannot do this without root!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
na, you dont need to delete that to flash a custom recovery(i never have, in my 6 years with android, and all my devices). is fastboot seeing your device? kkdo you see fastboot going through the process of flashing a recovery? if you are typing it right, and fastboot sees your device, you would have flashed a custom recovery. when you connect to fastboot, type.. fastboot devices. if it sees your device, its id number will be shown.

I have it right mate. But nothing seems to be happening. Maybe drivers issue? When I do adb version I get the version so I assumed that means its working
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
adb version and fastboot devices is different. adb is not fastboot and you can not use adb as fastboot. fastboot is fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luppas:
Yeah you were right. Driver issue. fastboot devices showed nothing. Reinstalled drivers and looks to be good now.

Here is the stock recovery that was pulled from the newest ota.

http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/520717/stockrecovery-img.html

This can be flashed with fastboot and the latest ota can be installed as normal. You can then flash TWRP or CLOCKWORKMOD recovery back when finished.

Someone help please! Lol.

I'm currently S-OFF and rooted on stock rom. I want to remove S-OFF and root if possible and update to the latest OTA. I am also using TWRP as custom recovery. Can I flash this and then update via the OTA and accomplish what I want?!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
Leave S-Off, the OTA neither affects or is affected by the S-Off.

You just need the stock recovery to flash.

Don't ever take any OTA upgrades. Live by this rule, never lose root.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
If you have S-off, this OTA (nor any OTA I have ever heard of) won't take away your ability to root it again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Paulb787:
You will not loose root or s-off. It has been verified! this OTA is safe and was finished before we even had s-off. I do agree not to take an ota until the developers look at it to make sure you wont loose the ability to s-off or root. It is not the case here. If you are on the stock rom you will be fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
it can be confusing for new users when seeing conflicting posts. nabbed is correct, though. from my reading it's confirmed by those who bring us s-off

never want to take OTA.. it can be pulled and flashed.. no reason to risk losing s-off permanently. and yes it is very possible from an OTA
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
From a theoretical perspectives its possible for OTA remove S-off. However, as I said, this OTA will not take away S-Off. Keep in mind there are legit S-Off phones out there that would be ruined by such an OTA.

Also, I have never heard of that ever happening, i.e. an OTA S-on'ing a device. If you know this has happened before, please link me to a source.

As far as I know, no OTA has ever caused an S-On. Losing root yes, but that can be easily fixed if you have S-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just pointing out conflicting information. As the majority are in the do not flash OTA group.

I will ask someone who works on S-OFF to confirm that this is actually something to worry about. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
No worries. Didn't meant to sound mean or anything. I have heard the same thing. "Never flash an OTA, ever." ...And if you are S-on, that is true as the OTA could remove root and/or make it more difficult to root/S-off. However, I have never heard of an OTA turning an S-Off device back to S-off.

My question is a genuine one. Has anyone actually shown that at some point an OTA has S-on'ed a device?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
After installing the OTA then flashing twrp again I lost root. No biggy just had to flash super su again. Im not one to contribute to placebo but the speed of this build is very noticeable. Just see how much quicker the multitasking button works.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GalaHD2:
The only thing keeping me away from 4.x roms are window, status bar and transition animations.

On some roms, the transition animations are fine, but window animations bug. They dont fade. The zoom out, but dont fade. Its horriffic. I experienced that on NexusHD2 ROMs.

On others, windows animations are fine, but transitions lag horribly. Unusable.

Whats the catch? Lib? HWA? Bad blcks? Framework codes?

The only rom where everything is smooth is Evervolv (4.2.2). But it had bugs, so unusable.

On 2.x roms everything is silky smooth.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
For me, 4.0 (ICS) was smooth, really smooth and transition was fine, but about JB I used to have the same question and I thought about it a lot, but I couldn't find an answer. I tried all methods from seeders to overclocking and optimisation to no avail. I just gave up and turned off animation from developer settings. Then I found out that it's just the old age of the device when I tried different devices with android on them. I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done about them, but if you do find a way please let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lolerpro8:
You can use xui mod xposed module, so you can chose the animations that are more suitable for you..

I tried NexusHD2 i think, it had that bug too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Thanks, but we are not talking about the kind of animation, we're talking about the animation fluidity.

I used to use NexusHD2 as well, the early versions... I'm not sure if he changed things or not (I don't use my HD2 anymore) and it's been a long time. But it was definitely much better than JB in terms of transition and animation.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
First thing I would do is a hard reset - A pain I know, but doing so you can check whether it is potentially a Hardware issue with multitouch/touch etc.

Once you've done that, if it's still exhibiting the same behaviour check your screen behaviour on touch reactions on normal day-to-day use. There may actually be an app for it. (the Note 3 suffered some touch problems, not saying the S5 has them but have to check to be sure) .

If it is deemed a software glitch and a reset fixes it then you should be OK. - However if it's a touch screen bug I'd suggest returning/swapping it.

I'm more inclined to believe it's a software glitch, and a factory reset will indeed solve the problem.
