[Samsung Gear Live] clovis_ll:
i like it. granted that its a new class of its own, i still get confused especially when i get multiple notifications on an app (ie hangouts). its confusing where the group text starts or if im still being shown a private text..

the screen is kinda hard to read in direct sunlight but tilting it a bit or using a different watch face helps.

i like the feel of it.. i preferred this over the g watch coz of the added feature and the look.
[Samsung Gear Live] woedee:
I really like it; however, screen is difficult to see in sunlight at times; screen is also a smudge magnet which adds to difficulties in seeing the display outdoors.
[Samsung Gear Live] eurorauser:
Love it - compared to the sony smartwatch and the Galaxy Gear it really has great improvements. Only Day 2, but my initial thoughts:

Pros

- Look/feel - it is little large (I don't have big wrists) but still stylish.

- Screen: awesome that the clock is always on, this was my biggest gripe about the Gear

- Usefulness: I've spent time training Google Now, and that's really paid off. Notifications mean i take my phone out of my pocket a lot less, and Google Now surfaces reminders and other useful info pretty well (although you don't have a lot of control over the order of notifications etc). The fact that it syncs dismissed notifications on the phone immediately is, in a word, awesome

- Apps: early days yet on this, but most big apps I'm sure will integrate so you can do the key features easily

- Voice recognition works great so far

Cons

- No speaker means if you want to do stuff without looking at the screen with your voice, it's harder. But seems like something I can live with

- Charging dongle is kinda annoying to fit on, and have to remember to travel with

- Starting an app (say Fit) takes a few too many swipes (if you're in a place where you don't want to be speaking to your wrist...)

A lot of the other potential "cons" like not many watch face designs, no feature to locate your phone (I know there's an app for this though) I reckon will play out over time and Google can fix pretty quickly...

[Samsung Gear Live] adiliyo:
i'm pleasantly surprised with how much i'm enjoying it.

my first full day with it will be tomorrow so i haven't taken it outside in the sunlight much yet, but checking email, counting steps, reading and replying to texts (i use evolve and it works great) is great and much more reliable and smoother than it was on my OG gear, and it's proving to be far more useful than my pebble.

the strap is actually quite comfortable and i'm glad i didn't buy a new strap before getting the watch.

the charging cradle, if you put it on tab side first it snaps in much easier. it's annoying but i haven't found it to be the spawn of lucifer as some people were screaming about it. treat it like part of a $200 gadget and it will be fine. mash it on like the hulk and it's going to break, it is plastic tabs after all.

i used it for about 7 hours today and it's now around 65% remaining. moderate use, but i def was clicking and swiping for no reason since it's new as well. i am pretty sure i'll have to charge it every night, but i don't sleep with a watch on and i charge my phone every night too, so i don't see it as being a big issue. my pebble lasted longer, but it would often die since i didn't have a set pattern on when to charge and would head out and a few hours later realize i had 20% left.

so in short, i'm happy, yes there are growing pains but those are the early adopter blues.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mr Ian B:
So far very please for what it can do. Regarding bot visible in sunlight, tell me what phone is visible in sunlight. None of them are great, only the kinfpdle due to the ink screen it has. I can wait till indoors or in shade. 9 more days testing and then deciding to keep or not. Off charging cradle at 6:30am today and as of this post still has 34% left. About the same as my previous Gear watch.

[Samsung Gear Live] FynxSyndct:
I've had a few issues and design factors that I'd like changed:

Hate the alarm mute icon. I would love to figure out a way to hide that on the clock face. Would make the watch look more watchie if you will.

Also would like to only wake the watch from the button vice touchscreen, or atleast an option to set that insettings.

Does anyone else find themselves open palming your watch to put it in hybernate?

[Samsung Gear Live] Croptop:
I'll be the lone wolf in the wilderness by bucking the trend and saying that I'm very disappointed with my Gear Live. I'm a gadget lover and really wanted to love this device. But I was far more enthusiastic about this thing before I actually received it. Once I had one, I quickly grew disappointed with it.

Out of the box, pairing with my Nexus 5 took multiple attempts. Once I finally did get it paired, only the stock apps would work. Any apps that I downloaded from the Play store would run on my phone but the watch interface would never show up (no matter how many times I tried to force the apps to sync via the Android Wear app or rebooted the watch).

Factory resetting the watch and starting again cleared up that problem but I still found the functionality of the watch to be quirky at best. Add to that the fact that the screen is virtually impossible to read outdoors, the lack of support for continuous heart rate monitoring, and the sudden dramatic drop in my Nexus 5's battery life (which cleared up after I uninstalled the Android Wear app).

Bottom line for me is that this isn't ready to replace my old fashioned watch. So until I read about some new killer Wear app that I can't live without, the Gear Live had gone back into its box to be stored away. I'm hoping that the software will mature quickly to a point where I can give it another try.

Hi ever
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _swarp:
Hi all! Please solve my issue - it is getting real serious. Before starting a thread I have already researched a lot about this problem and now, XDA is my second last hope!

I own a XOLO Q1010 (with Android 4.2.2) phone. Recently, the company has released KitKat update for this device. I was real excited about it as the new ROM has already arrived luckily to my phone as well! But, unfortunately, it is not that easy. I start upgrading by downloading the system update of 316.14 mb, and as soon as it enters Recovery mode, after few seconds, an error occurs. First, I thought there might be some problem with the Zip file, next, I downloaded update again and kept it at a safe place to reuse it.

Now, I don't know why but as I analyzed that error, it wrote:

warning:no file_contexts verifying current system

"/system/app/Browser.apk" has unexpected content,

installation aborted.

update.zip is not correct

I thought that once few months earlier, I disabled this browser app (after rooting) so that may be the issue. I'll update that browser and it will apply the update to my phone.

After this, I started troubleshooting.

I checked Browser.apk file, and saw that it was working fine.

After this, when I started Browser, it showed: "Unfortunately, the Browser has stopped".

I later reset the app preferences, but it didn't worked.

I decided to re-install the fresh version and paste it manually within /system/app folder.

I did as many times as possible and with trusted installers (like the one I got on some thread on XDA itself), but nothing really worked.

I decided to do clear the cache partition but that doesn't work either.

Right now, the browser is also not working and I cannot upgrade my system as well.

I have gone for Factory Reset as well. But as soon as setup completes and everything get backs to normal, I start the default browser, it pops-up the message again that unfortunately, the browser has..

So this is what bothering me a lot. I have already gone for a Factory reset and tried the methods that I was aware of and found suitable. But nothing actually worked. The Recovery still displays the same error as above and I cannot upgrade my OS to KitKat.

Tired and irritated now, please anyone help me.

Thanks in advance! :good: :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crounus:
Hello everbody,

I've done a big mistake ... I've unlocked my boot loader but forgot to backup my data. Well, the config files for the few apps aren't the problem, it's more that the videos and pictures are gone now.

I've searched the forum and found this guide here. I did everything which was written down there expect that I used Linux to get my dump of the internal storage.

Well, now I'm sitting here with the dump (around 16GB) and tested tools like photorec and Recuva but nothing seems to help. The only files I'm able to see are the latest PNG and JPG Files. No older stuff which are gone due to the bootloader unlock

The bootloader unlock itself ran round about 2 or 3 minutes. Within this time (due to my technical knowledge) it's impossible to wipe or destroy the internal storage that hard that no files are found anymore. I mean if the internal storage would be filled up with zeros I would understand that, but it only has taken 2 or 3 minutes to unlock the bootloader so the zeros fill up just could never happen in my point of view.

Can anybody please me out here? I have read so much posts about the success of the people after they started the recovery immediately after this bootloader unlock wipe that I just don't get it why I just get nothing out of it ...

Greetings

To solve the no OS part, just flash a guru reset or a nandroid backup for your device.

I've never really experienced connecting my device to the PC won't work. Sorry.

Just buy an OTG cable and put the ROM in a USB and plug it to the OTG cable so you will be able to install the ROM. If you successfully installed the ROM try connecting your device to the PC again.

Neither I want deodex ROM, opinions are that odexed is faster.

I opened other question of this sort, curious if something comes up.

When I disabled some Google services - GPS went to defaults = use everything.

I am afraid it may be hardcoded in library, gps-something.so.

Recompiling from sources is even worse considering time spent on it.

I can live with it as is if I have no other options.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigmille:
Hi all,

Currently I have the Tab Pro 8.4, and have the chance to return it to the shop and buy the Tab S 8.4 for £40 extra.

However, after playing with the Tab S in the shop and reading reviews online, I do have some pros and cons of “upgrading” from the Tab Pro the Tab S I hope forum members can help me with.

The Screen on the Tab S is great for watch YouTube and Netflix which is what I do most of the time on the tablet. However, I also take the tablet on holiday with me to review pictures taken with camera and watch media under direct sun light. The lower brightness of the Tab S and the cartoonish look of the screen makes it not as good as the Tab Pro.

The Snapdragon 800 in the Tab Pro seems to be faster compared to the Samsung SOC in the Tab S according to reviews. The Snapdragon 800 also looks to have a major advantages when comes to graphic performance. This is important to me as I use the tablet to play graphic intensive games such as GTA, N.O.V.A and large RPG games.

The other advantages the Tab S have such as finger scan, smaller, lighter body and 1GB of extra RAM are not a major concern to me.

So, are there any Tab Pro users changed to Tab S and are happy with the screen and graphic provenance?

Many thanks

If you set the Display Mode to Cinema you lose the overblown cartoonish look. Reds become more red and less orange.

[Galaxy Tab S General] 30Seconds:
Had some time to go back to the dealer and spend some time with the Tab Pro 8.4 and after some comparison I feel the Tab S is the better device. There is little doubt that the super amoled on the Tab S is superior, the screen on the Tab Pro seems like just another LCD screen. I thought I could make the pixels out more easily on the Tab Pro, where with the Tab S you cannot see any pixels without a magnifier. My main interest in looking at the Tab Pro is that I thought the lower contrast on the screen might be better for watching video, but after using it for a bit I don't think it's superior at all.

Another issue is the thinner Tab S seems like a much more modern device, even though the difference is less than 1 mm. There is something about that fake leather look on the Tab Pro that makes it look very dated.

Anyways in my case I will be keeping the Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jball:
I only wish that they kept the Snapdragon but I assume when development kicks off we will enjoy possible overclocking of all 8 cores.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Trotter516:
Maybe this is a stupid idea but I am stuck with this XT912 Verizon Droid Razr because I did not do my homework on it before I traded for it. And, yes, I have attempted to search out my answers with little luck thus far.

Anyway, the XT912 is currently on 4.1.2 stock, non-rooted. I have read that it was possible (via RadioComm) to get ICS to use GSM on this thing but I have not had any success with it on JB (which was already on it when I got it). What I want to do, and am here asking, is to root it and flash it to either stock ICS or an ICS ROM and then use RadioComm to make it use GSM.

Is the above possible or am I stuck with this thing? And, if it is not possible, does anyone know a way to get it to work with Straight Talk via CDMA? I am picking up that they won't switch/activate 4G Verizon phones...

Thanks, all. Oh, and I am not an idiot or a teeny-bopper wanting to hack my mommy's phone so please don't toss out comments aimed at such. I am a bonehead for not delving deeper before I got the phone but we've all been there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] s_cuttic:
I'm pretty sure that you're stuck on JB.. Verizon locked the boot loader on these and many other phones so you can't go back to ICS.

You may be able to flash an ICS ROM but I'm not sure.

It's been a long time since I've read up on any of this and I've never flashed ROMs on my maxx. I used to on my droid x a lot but never found one that I liked.

Hi all,

I am in desperate need of help with this AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 that I found in abroad. Before I get chewed out with accusations of theft, I found the phone in a restaurant and gave to the staff who returned it to me after 3 days an no one had come to claim it.

Anyway, I have been trying to unlock it for use in Canada. I'm a bit of a noob, so please be patient :) Started with a commercial unlock code to SIM unlock. I received a "successful" message, so I assume it worked. However, I was told that AT&T locks other SIM cards from working on their firmware, so I began to try to flash and install a custom rom. I went to geohot's towelroot page and clicked the lambda. I think it did something. For some reason, I decided it would be a good idea to do factory data wipe from the volume down+power+home recovery screen. Now, I can't get past the initial setup which is asking for my original Samsung login ID, which I obviously don't have. In addition, I can't flash the rom with Odin or install off of external SD card.

Please help!!!

Thanks!
