[Samsung Gear Live] Ed Murray:
I got my Gear Live on Thursday. Charged and unplugged at 9:00pm, worked all night, lots of app installs, screen off mostly except while playing with it. Battery was at 17% at 8:00am.

Next day it was at 46% at 8:00am so I think I just played with my new device a bit too much. Not too mention, most batteries need to be cycled out of the box and will get better after 3-5 charges. I also wonder if they will sell aftermarket batteries for these watches...
[Samsung Gear Live] scorpionar:
Hi to all

What really bothers me is the charging time. from 20% to 100% took more than 2 hours.

can someone tell me what specifications have your charger?

Thanks

[Samsung Gear Live] mymeatb18:
I never run out of battery on mine so doesn't bother me how long it takes. I charge it every night

Update helping?

Just got my live yesterday. A new update loaded pretty fast.

I hear that this version of android wear has greatly improved battery life, has anyone seen evidence of a change?
[Samsung Gear Live] racketier:
I have not noticed any positive difference in battery life since the update.
[Samsung Gear Live] RS050377:
Loosing 2% battery in one hour. These are my settings:

Watchface: Skymaster Pilot Watch Face

Ambient mode: on

Display on at movement: off

Step counter: off

Google Now: off

Brightness: 5

Notifications: 10 each day

Usability each day: 15 hour, at night off or flight mode

So I have to charge my Gear Live every 3 days. Great :good:

Screen always on is the better solution for me, because screen off and movement on sets my screen on to often because of much arm movements and drains battery more.
[Samsung Gear Live] noviceinandroid:
I use my Gear Live with my iPhone and it dies within 6-7 hours. I tried all optimal solution such as switch off always on, mute notification, reduce brightness, switch off google now, etc. Nothing works.

However, when I unpair the watch from my phone, the charge lasts for more than 24 hours. So what's the use of smart watch when am not able to pair it with my phone?

My iphone on the other hand stays solid. No noticeable battery drain when i connect my watch.

Suggestion please.
[Samsung Gear Live] dare:
Hi,

I have the same behaviour when paired with an Iphone (5s). No drain problem when paired with an android device.

Don't understand (i have tried to disable what i can).

So, any idea are welcome.
[Samsung Gear Live] kikicoco1334:
I had almost the same issue with my watch, but took about 20% battery to just pairing my watch up with my phone (i was trying to pairing it up with BT rather than using android wear app) took 3 ~ 4 resets to just get it paired up.

i unplugged my watch at midnight last night and its 14:13 and i still have 60% battery.
[Samsung Gear Live] noviceinandroid:
Cud u please let me know the app you used to sync your watch and iPhone? Is it Aerlink or some other app? And did it require full watch reset? Were you able to download additional watch faces?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CoriolisSTORM:
How come every time I go to try to buy the GPe version of the Z Ultra it is out of stock? Is it even being manufactured any more? This would be an excellent upgrade to my Note 1 on AT&T. I will not consider another Android unless its a nexus device or GPe. I am done with att and others screwing around with updates.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coastalmikey:
I'd say you might be better off buying from Sony direct at Sonystyle than the GPE. It is the same $449.00 for the 6806LTE as the GPE and also you can use Sony and GPe rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
+1 unless you plan to stay stock and only care about official updates. I have a new GPe replacement on the way from Google and a new one I ordered from Sony the same day. The GPe is going up for sale as it is useless for what I want out of a phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The Ultra GPe, M7 GPe and S4 GPe are all out of stock, and they went out of stock around 2 weeks ago. Doesn't look like they're coming back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Do you think they will try to send a refurbished phone to replace a unit that is less than two months old?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Maybe. I have no idea. Give them a call.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
I'd say go for the Sony stock one and then convert it into GPe. That way you can experience both

When I enable clear type in landscape mode by editing the registery :

Changing the value of HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation from 1 to 0 it works BUT only for a while, then it reverts back to 0 and

I don't have clear type when I pull out the keyboard. Does anyone know how to make it stay? (it worked in the wizard without any problems)

Thanks.

I use nScriptm freeware from www.s-k-tools.com and a simple script. I made a shortcut in the startup folder to run this script w/o showing the console window.

BTW the same script sets PIE cache size to 4096MB for me - a value that is reset every boot as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
Easy peasy...why make things harder

Download TwkCL from here...

http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=2005022517002183

or if you can't just searchfor it.

Place it in your Windows - Startup folder.

Select it to run it, nothing will happen but it HAS ben enabled.

Then you simply soft-reset your device.

Et Voila! You have Cleartype always enabled in landscape mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
It wouldnt work properly anyway... MS Cleartype counts on horizontal orientation of R-G-B triplet in LCD matrix, it can not do "vertical subpixel rendering", only horizontal.

So if you forcefully enable it in landscape, it would smooth text in perpendicular direction, making it more blurry instead of actual resolution enhancement.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
Actually it works perfectly...the text looks EXACTLY the same either way.

Been using it ever since I had my JAM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
It doesnt. Surely, you see the difference, but only in Portrait it actually works as intended. In Landscape you get same result youll get if you grab a screenshot from Cleartype text and rotate it - if you'll read how cleartype actually works, you'll understand that this would obliterate the main idea of it.

Even MS said that numerous times. The only advantage you get in landscape is "smoother" fonts, but that came with drawback of reduced sharpness and also more visible "color outlines" on letters (while in portrait when cleartype works as intended sharpness is not reduced and color outlines is a lot less visible).

Read this article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleartype

It would help you to undestand the mechanics of it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kittiyut:
I actually found the answer to my own question. For the TyTN, you have to change HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\ROTATION\LandscapeMode from 1 to 0 and it'll stay. It works. No need to load any programs in the startup folder.

Ken
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sutheep:
under gdi?

I can't find it, there's cleartypesetting and rotation, not rotation undercleartype.

Please clarify
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Actually, don't you mean change the HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION value from 0 to 1? ClearType will be on in landscape mode then.

@Ingvarr: you are correct but it still looks better when ClearType is enabled IMO
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
I guess its up to personal preferences... Iam very color sensitive, I guess thats why I cant bear visible color smudges at fonts edges in landscape :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
I've just used Magic SS to take screenshots of each and it looks the same even after a side by side zoomed in comparison down to the last pixel.

It looks the same to me. Maybe I'm losing it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
Hi, does this actually stay for you?, I had that set awhile back, and it would revert to the oem settings after a few soft resets or shutdowns.

I also like cleatype in landscape on, I do understand why its off by default, but I guess its really up to ones own prefrences, I changed the system font, and the cleartype makes the font look much better, It could possibly be that I need to up the font size.

Just a tip..if anyone decides to play with the system font, put the font in your windows directory, not the fonts folder, maybe everyne else already knew this, but I used the fonts folder at first...and it worked, but caused glitches.

Sorry to ramble off topic for a bit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kittiyut:
No, I do mean change the value from 1 to 0

If it is at 1, Clear Type would not be enabled in Landscape mode

If it is at 0, Clear Type WOULD be ENABLED in Lanscape mode

Ken
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shugoh:
This doesn't work for me.

At first, I made the new key as kittiyut instructed because there was no key in defalut:

HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION/LandscapeMode and set its value to 1

But this didn't work anything.

And then, I changed registries as follows and it seems OK before I soft-reset with stylus.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]

"OffOnRotation"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]

"LandscapeMode"=dword:00000000

But after stylus reset, OffOnRotation=1 comes alive again.

I think TwkCL is the only solution for Hermes now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
Well, thats exactly what is wrong - you see, you take screenshots, that doesnt capture actual micro-lamp layout on your LCD screen - and this is what ClearType uses to actually _enhance_ resolution. To correctly see it, you should take _photos_ of screen :)

Read the Wikipedia page, you'll understand it :) It it would work properly, landscape one would be different from portrait - in landscape LCD triplets go in "vertical" way relatively to the text, while in portrait they go in horizontal way relatively to the text.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
the correct tweak is HKLM/System/GDI /ClearTypeSettings and setting the onoffrotatation dword from 1 to 0

I myself just realized after your post that the key people had been changin doesn't exist, and it hadn't been mentioned to create one...no wonder people were sayin they couldn't find it, and it will revert back to 1 after a few resets anyhow, like you mentioned.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
After much gnashing of teeth and fudging around with registry settings, I agree that TwkCL in startup seems to be the only way to get ClearType in landscape mode currently....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Termiter:
But none of these solutions does not work with AKU 3.3...

Edit: Works, works,... Need to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\GDI\ROTATION] "LandscapeMode"=dword :00000000

and copy TwkCL to startup.

Phone battery impact with Android wear.

Anyone any idea of the impact to the phones battery when connected to a watch all day?

My Nexus 5 battery life is pretty poor anyway, just wondering how it will cope when connected to the wearable!?

Ta
[LG G Watch] JackHanAnLG:
Your phone and the watch will use Bluetooth 4.0 which is really battery friendly. Not sure on the actual percentage though

J
[LG G Watch] Rarelyamson:
Thanks... Can I hold you to that :)
[LG G Watch] shotgunfool:
I have an Xperia Z2 and the battery will usually last 36-48 hours on a charge, with my pebble connected all the time, but without the pebble connected i only get about 50 ish hours, so it doesnt make too much of an impact, im guessing the LG G Watch will do a similar amount of drain as its only pulling info over Bluetooth again so shouldnt drain too much.
[LG G Watch] Rarelyamson:
Thanks for the info.
[LG G Watch] sum182:
Just to throw in some info on the battery life of the watch. Mine has never gone below 40% by end of day with normal use so don't worry about the watch dieing, if that was even a concern. Its hard for me to weigh in on phone battery life, I have the Flex and I'm getting about 2 days one charge, unless I game for hours with it. I Think its adding a few hours.
[LG G Watch] hutzdani:
Took my watch off charge at 7:50am today its now 15:10PM and I have 65% battery still.

Using following settings :

1. Screen always on

2. Show cards even when screen dimmed

3. Alert on phone and watch

4. Brightness level - 1

Usage has been quite High because its the first day I have used it, sent about 20 Texts and done some maths with it, also it seems there are problems with the software and after awhile it seems to disconnect from my nexus 5 even if the software on my phone thinks its still paired.

As for phone battery its reporting in battery stats nothing regarding android wear, and im at 60% battery from the morning and i have hardly used my phone apart from trying to figure out why stuff is refusing to pair or even work.

I also use CM11 nightlys and the snapdragon battery app on my N5 this might have something to do with all the disconnects
[LG G Watch] kangxi:
Yea, I would say if you aren't using a stock configuration there might be something else going on with your phone. All the reviews and impression videos I've seen haven't mentioned anything about frequent disconnects.
[LG G Watch] mcnob:
Screen on, brightness 2, been replying to texts all day, the G Watch has been off the charger since 06:00 and it's now 01:32 (19.5 hours on) and I've still got 40% left.

Can't really fault it. I just drop my G Watch on the charger every night when I go to bed. Easy.

Ditching the Snapdragon app has solved some disconnects, however it still disconnects at least 2 to 3 times a day.

Still on the same CM build, untill its been running for a week will i swap to another CM build to see if there is issues with the CM bluetooth

Do you leave it on charge all night? Is it OK to do this? I've been taking it off charge when it's done and then powering it off at night. There should be a way to power off the screen while charging.

Wear from 8am to 9pm 55% remaining. Less than average day for notifications. It killed my G2 though. Had battery saving on for location. But it really chewed it. Just one day.

How are people's phone batteries been since using the G Watch?

That is a good question. It's not about Bluetooth, as it seems to not consume anything at all. But I'm not sure if the watch keeps my phone awake, at least every time the watch turns on. There are many wakelocks on my L and I can't find out the source as I don't have root.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot more drain. Google Search is the number one battery drainer. Which makes sense, because the watch is an extension of Google Search.

Unfortunately for me, my battery life has been pure ****. I got my watch last Tuesday and thought I would see improvement, but I haven't. on a good day, my battery will last 9 hours. On a bad day 7 hours. It's been a bit of pain having the thing die before days end, and it seems Airplane mode doesn't even help. My watch is on level 1 brightness, always on enabled, and connected to my Nexus 4 running 4.4.4. I can't figure out what the battery drain is from.

Batterylife on my watch is great. It's been of the charger for 13 hours now and battery is still at 47% and I have been using it quite a lot :D

I have a problem on my phone though, the wear app consumes 50% off the battery and therefor halves my battery life. Not sure what's causing this, wasn't the case when I first got the watch. I'm suspecting that one of the apps I installed is causing this so I'm deleting them one by one and reset the battery stats and check if things got better. No luck so far..
[LG G Watch] Sidewind75:
Ok so I uninstalled 2 apps. One was a watch face the other was the camera app. My battery life has greatly improved. It has been 5 hours and I am at 87%

Don't wanna to bother you, but guys, there is no real value in terms like "medium usage", "high usage" or "medium high usage" at all.

Since no one knows what you mean by this, try to be more specific like: I get 5 calls a day, I answer 10 messages using wear and read 20 emails a day, I check twice a day for weather condition and 12 time a day for the time and then after 24hr of usage I still have about 40% left.

Everything else is like: it's cold outside, it's damn cold outside, it's really cold outside, it's fairly could outside. Which means?

Have a nice day, though :)
