Hi.

Anyone found a good RSS feed for the Gear 2, i know there is a Feedly in Samsung Apps, but i don't like, it only update every 3 hours.!

Keep smiling :laugh:
[Samsung Gear 2] idle0095:
Any one have that feedly app to side load for someone using gear 2 neo with LGG2.

Since the new camera update I've had a bit of problem with the 2 photo's apps - Photos and Gallery.

When I take pics I'm deleting unwanted pics using Photos. But when I go into Gallery the deleted pics are still there. Is this normal?

What default app are you guys using for pics?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
This is probably caused by a sync from Photos.

I use QuickPic app for a while.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
Are they there in the actual files that you can delete? Or are they in instant upload (in gallery app)

This is why I would like to stick to just one gallery app, but I prefer photos. Unfortunately, I cant set contact photos with "Photos" :confused::confused:

EDIT - Also, I would recommend getting used to the photos app, as I have, as Google is looking to make this the default gallery app IMO
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A1ps:
These are pics I have taken with the camera. Sometimes I delete the photos straight from the camera app. Sometimes I go into Photos and delete from there. Only thing is that they remain in Gallery App.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
Yeah, that makes sense. The Gallery App is whats on your SD, whereas photos is Cloud Based.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A1ps:
Thanks Justin.

I don't know what App is best.

What are you guys using? And why?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I like Photos but I don't use it because I have Google+ disabled. So it's Gallery for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
If you have the Photos app, opening the Photos section of the Google+ app will automatically bring you to the Photos app.

1) In the Photos app, go to the image you want to delete (or search “autobackup” in the search bar).

2) Select photos by pressing and holding the thumbnail to select; tap multiple thumbnails to select in bulk.

3) Tap the trash can icon at the top right to delete.

You’re all set; Auto Backup photos deleted!

:good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
I use photos because I think Google will soon try to update us to that rahter than gallery, plus I like the editing you can do on photos.

With that said, I still use gallery to delete photos from my SD like screenshots I dont need anymore, and to edit contact photos
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno9100:
I understand that bootloaders are a set of codes that run on the boot of a device. It is specific to the hardware in the phone. I also understand that in order to flash custom ROMs,an unlocked bootloader is neccesary.

Now for my questions. I've already unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, S-Off'd, and installed the custom ROM I'm more than happy with (ViperOne). I'm considering relocking my bootloader to (maybe) redeem my Google Drive storage. Questions:

If I relock, can I:

1. Stay rooted

2. Keep S-Off (for Xposed, etc)

3. Keep TWRP

4. Redeem Google Drive storage

Thanks for the answers! :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
That's yes times 4.

Since you're S-Off, you should able to issue fastboot commands to lock and unlock, all without losing any data.

I'm sure that's what I did with my M7.

Keep a nandroid backup off your phone storage just in case.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelalex:
Hi Guys ,

Well, my phone begin to have some problems in playing videos and I decided to flash another ROM on my HTC ONE.

My current ROM is [Elegancia_ONE_22.0.0.zip]

My phone specs:

HTC ONE GSM/3G

RUU VARIANT: x.xx.708.x

BOOTLOADER screen:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

Then I follow the above steps to flash a new ROM:

1. Went into CWM recovery mode [version:recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-m7ul.img]

2. Chose the the installation from zip on sdcard [Android_Revolution_HD-One_62.0.zip]

3. Followed the installation steps from ROM ui instalation.

4. After the end of installation, the CWM detected that my ROOT needed a fix/update, so I opted for YES.

5. Rebooted the phone by CWM menu option.

6 . Upon start up Im getting the white screen with green HTC logo *freeze*

7. Okay, it did not work.. tried starting in BOOTLOADER to enter in recovery mode again...

8. Once in BOOTLOADER I choose the RECOVERY option

9. Here's the problem: The phone start CWM but soon, the CWM comes out and the phone continues the boot process, freezing again the white screen with green HTC logo.

10 . My CWM is corrupted as I can see. I can not enter the CWM to flash another ROM.

11 . Tried to flash a new CWM using ADB. The ADB does not recognize the device (nothing is displayed by the command ADB DEVICES, besides the driver is ok)

12 . Tried to make the flash recovery using fastboot . So far so good, he can apparently flash the CWM but upon entering BOOTLOADER again to start from recovery mode, the same problem occurs!

What can I do?

a) My root is corrupted?

b) I can flash another ROM using fastboot?

c) I can try using another recovery img?

Help me please! Thank you!

After flashing recovery reboot on new recovery make a full wipe (sd not need) and reflash your rom .....

good luck ! :highfive:

ps : Could use adb sideload option for flashing problem ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Like it says in the OP of the thread you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher (the part in red):

get TWRP from:

2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

EDIT: or the one mentioned above :)

(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)

in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then install the ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelalex:
right under my f*kng nose!

sorry about that... didn't see this huge warning.

You got me out of the mud :victory:, I've never posted anything on XDA forums, because I do not have experiences to share.

I hope this will be a help for another users anyway..

Im thankful for your help guys! (had already begun to pray.. lol)

[HTC EVO 3D] Crocodilek:
Hi,

Because my HTC Evo 3D is gone for repairs it will (hopefuly) return fixed and most probably updated to stock ICS with hboot 1.53.0007. Previously I've used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader and install 4ext recovery, then the Wire Trick to get S-off and finally this guide to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007

Before sending the mobile for repairs, I've reverted it as close to stock as possible, using the method described here. One of the steps required extracting ROM.zip from RUU exe file, renaming it to PG86IMG.zip and installing in fastboot.

Now my question is... With a "fresh" phone (ICS, S-on, locked), will it be possible to install PG86IMG.zip extracted from Gingerbread RUU in fastboot? If this way works, it would downgrade hboot to 1.49.0007 and then allow me to use Revolutionary to get the phone Unlocked and S-off (instead of the HTCDev + Juopunutbear + hboot downgrade combination).

Will this work or will it fail? If the latter, is there a chance of bricking the device?

I'm sorry if my question is noobish, but I'm still very new to all the HTC hboot, S-on/S-off and fastboot stuff...

Best regards,

Crocodil
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
With s-on, RUU won't work
[HTC EVO 3D] Crocodilek:
Thank you, that's all I needed to know :) I guess I will use the same method I did previously :)
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Yes, but if you left your phone s-off you could get it back s-off. Then you can do the RUU thing. AFAIK service won't touch s-off unless they change the motherboard
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
It will fail because the main version of the Gingerbread ROM is lower than your current ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] Crocodilek:
Well, the touchscreen in lower bottom of the screen has stopped working and the phone is still on warranty, so I've reverted it to stock ICS + s-on + "Relocked" (didn't find any way to get back to "Locked"). This way there's a better chance that they will do the repair on warranty but I've read different reports about the Polish HTC certificated repair service... Sometimes they void warranty for using HTCdev unlock even if a problem is clearly with hardware (like in my case).

I hope that my EVO does get repaired as I've really enjoyed using it with CM11...
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
I don't unlock the phone, I use Ultimate recovery tool to downgrade hboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653777
[HTC EVO 3D] Crocodilek:
I did see this method before (one of the 2 hboot downgrade options I could find), but the step of "intentionally bricking" my device made me too nervous to try it :D But I might use the tool once I get my mobile back :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
lol, scares every one. But it was the frist way to downgrade

According to this answer (specifically the part "Since Archos uses a very different (and encrypted) filesystem partitions scheme"), I would say you're not able to open that file (at least not without cracking the encrypthion Archos uses. Which would be another subject.

Okay, I've spent 2 hours trying to obtain this information and am almost giving up.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xenos:
I found that thread and it alreeady assumes you know how to obtain and nbf file. One person gave a link on the ftp for a ROM dump utility and the ftp says that it doesn't allow anonomous logins. I included my user name and password but it wouldn't accept it. Why is this so complicated?

Could someone please tell me how to obtain this file? It's making me crazy. :evil:

Rename the RUU exe file to a rar file and open it, the nk.nbf file is there.Or just run the RUU (but don't click anything) and search your pc for nk.nbf and copy it to a safe location then cancel the Updater.

Thank you so much. In this forum, I read that I was supposed to change it to a zip, which didn't work, this did though. :D

I would suggest you move any questions regarding this to the Upgrading Forum. That's where you'll get more assistance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wah00kid:
Hi been looking at a lot of the threads about the OTA and making it work and I haven't seen anyone with the problem I am having.

So I have gotten S-Off with the Java Card, Installed CWM Recovery, flashed root, flashed tether and extreme power savings.

I also installed AdAway and updated the gps with FasterFix. Also froze a bunch of apps with Titanium.

Those are the only things I can think of that have altered the "stock rom" but I could be missing something here.

So to install the OTA I have tried the following

I defrosted the verizon bloatware and revereted AdAway and the GPS

I reflashed the stock recovery from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708291

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723112

those "stock recoveries" are different file sizes but both of them produce the same following error:

The OTA starts normally and the recovery starts up and says Updating Verizon system or something like that... The progress bar gets about a third of the way there then I get the recovery screen.. sort of like this image:

http://htcevohacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/htc-evo-recovery-mode-4.jpg

but where the triangle is inside the phone icon.

From there nothing and I have to reset the phone and then get the message that the OTA failed.

The only things that I can't undo are the extreme power savings and the mobile tether.

I have also looked at this tread to find out the exact stock recovery for my edition and they don't have it specifically hosted.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

in that thread it has instructions to look up the specific recovery based on CID and mine came up with 1.12.605.11 which seems to be nowhere to be found... So bottom line I am not sure if the recovery I have flashed from the two other sources is the exact correct recovery.

Anyone else is this boat or can help me out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sean67854:
I have the same issue as this. I also have the power saver on and the wifi tether update. Sounds like it might be something with one of those.

Hi, I recently bought the Samsung gear 2 and everywhere I see it says 2-3 days battery life but mine only gets around 8 or 9 hours if I completely leave it alone for the day. Am I missing something here? is there some setting or something? Im starting to think it has a defective battery. Its already at 90% after only being unplugged for 1 hour. Also, no apps will install from the market?!? Any help would be cool, thanks everyone.
[Samsung Gear 2] dominoid:
Sounds faulty to me. Mine lasts 3-4 days with reasonable use.
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
I see other people talking about apps not installing on the device either so that may be a bug from Samsung, but the battery life is HORRIBLE. If no one has a potential solution I might have to return it to amazon...
[Samsung Gear 2] BigDanInTX:
I just received mine Monday afternoon. Charged it to full overnight and ran it through its paces yesterday. Turned on the sleep monitor before getting into bed. When I woke up this morning, it was at 72% remaining. I could probably go 3 days without charge without incident.
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
I have it paired to a Samsung note 2 stock rom but rooted... Maybe its the phone?
[Samsung Gear 2] Raul69.atl:
The first time it lasted me 2 days but now I only get 1 day :/
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
I also wonder if it has anything to do with the recent f/w update they pushed out...
[Samsung Gear 2] Raul69.atl:
Also could be new apps that we install

I went ahead and put in for a replacement through amazon...But naturally there out of stock till who knows when, so I guess I have to wait...
[Samsung Gear 2] Raul69.atl:
I got mine thru tmobile, I had no problem ordering it. Looks like they have enough. Anyways try draining battery and charging to 100. 2 full cycles to see if it helps.
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
I tried that a few times now hoping it just needed a fresh recharge, no luck... Thanks though for the advice.
[Samsung Gear 2] gled:
I had the same troubles when I tried to upgrade gear manager to the latest one ( failing as I have an Xperia z1 phone), while restoring the previous working one, a few services were still the latest ( I did not uninstalled them before reinstall the older). Watch battery life was crap.

I then uninstalled all gear apk on the phone and cleanly reinstalled gear manager 03... ( the one working for us with no samsung phone), my watch got reset and voilà ! Battery life of 2-3 days is back... I suspect one service was constantly pulling info from the watch but I don't know which one
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
Could you link me to that gear manager by chance?
[Samsung Gear 2] bryanhayn:
I went to bed at 100% when I turned on the sleep monitor. Woke up after a 9 hour sleep and my Gear 2 was at 82%. I'm on the latest firmware and using an LG G2 phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] bullet2300:
I'm on the latest version and getting 3-5 days depending on use. If I use it a fair amount I will drop about 25% at the end of a full day. I have a GS5 though, maybe it's related to the phone its synced to?
[Samsung Gear 2] TopDogg1:
I used mine for 3 days with about a combined 100 text and emails per day and on the 3rd night it was at 20%. I'm very happy with the battery life on mine.
[Samsung Gear 2] gled:
That's the manager in every non samsung thread (gear...1_2)
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
Well, I no longer think its the watch that's the problem.... I shut off its Bluetooth and disconnected from my note 2 and after 8 hrs I only lost 10 percent battery...WTH is the deal here.. Anyone have any fixes for that issue? I couldn't find the gear manager everyone is talking about either.
[Samsung Gear 2] Hielko:
Which android version are you running?
[Samsung Gear 2] cooza:
If you have the correct version of gear manager from the apps store installed I'd say it's an issue with 4.3 on the note2. The official 4.4.2 was just release on SamMobile which is the version the S5 is running so that may fix your problem mate.
[Samsung Gear 2] jj423:
Can I install that on my note 2 even though it's for the s5?
[Samsung Gear 2] cooza:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

SamMobile has a firmware now for 4.4.2 for the note2 international version. It's a France firmware but doesn't matter. If you have the n7100 you could flash it and give it a shot. It's an official release to so no worries there about beta bugs and clitches mate.

The same

In my case I noticed sth strange with my Gear 2. The battery lasts only for 1 day when connected with Note II Android 4.3. And I know that it's screen which consumes the most battery, but even turning it on for a while almost always drains 1%. I'm wondering if it's not a problem of battery itself. Setting screen level 2, occasionally checking out just time. Let me know if you have the same problem
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
I'm also getting about 16 hours or so before it dies....I have a note 3 running 4.3

Anyone else having the same issues with the Note 3?
[Samsung Gear 2] EVOme:
You have a bad unit. I get 4 to 5 days on mine. Do you have it waking every time you move your wrist?
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
I had it swapped over for a new unit the other day so I know it's not the watch.

I have tried with that auto wake bithboth in aoff and it doesn't make much of a difference.

I noticed that people with Note 2 are having this issue so I thought it could be the same with the Note 3

Anyone using it with the Note 3?

Could this also be related to a certain notification that is causing this?
[Samsung Gear 2] mksudol:
No, I turned off this option. But I noticed sth interesting. Now the battery seems to be a little better. Last night I left the gear on the desk with 9% of battery with bluetooth on, but I disconnected bluetooth on note 2, and went to bed. When I woke up I was amazed that Gear 2 had 8%! After 8 hours the battery dropped down only 1%! amazing stand by time. I think it must be the problem of Android 4.3

[Samsung Gear 2] wbhill:
I'm having the same issue with my Note 3. My Gear 2 last no longer than my Gear 1. It has to be a phone issue because I'd purchased a Neo and it did the same thing.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
One thing that I have noticed is that closing out your running apps on the watch can help as well. I have the Neo and usually get about 3-5 days of use out of it. My motion is off and I usually keep it about 3 brightness. Tones and notifications are all on. I don't have any applications pushed to it though.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
Hi Fogame,

So the current theory seems to be correct, if you are using a Note 3 with 4.3, you get poor battery life...but with 4.4 it seems ok?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Correct. Once I upgraded to 4.4 I have had no issues with it. According to Samsung it has to do with the version of Gear Manager. The Gear 2 and the Manager were designed to work with 4.4 but are compatible with 4.3
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
Thanks for that, unfortunately, I'm with an Australian carrier that hasn't released 4.3 as yet...

I've never rooted my phone but wondering if it is worth doing so? Is it easy enough to do?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Rooting is easy enough. It's all pushed through odin. I'm running stock right now but It makes it worth it to root it. I would check the international note 3 forums for rooting process. I would recommend it.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
I found this instruction that lets you update to 4.4 without rooting...is this legit?

(I can't seem to post a URL but if you search "Galaxy Note 3 - How to install Android 4.4.2 Kitkat (Leaked)" on YouTube you will see what I mean...
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Honesty I've never installed another rom without rooting my device first. I wouldn't know.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cellisimo:
Thanks again...

Is there a good instruction somewhere on how to do it?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Check this one out. I think Root for Note 3 SM-N900* will help you root. Just make sure that you follow the steps exactly. Should work for all international note 3's. Chainfire has everything ready for the note 3.
