I have a lenovo A660( MTK6577) and I'm wondering how to unbrick this phone?

I believe its bricked , heres what happened:

Was fixing noodles one night and was on Kik Messenger, and it stopped responding, closed and re opened, and its still didn't respond, tried to restart the phone, well when I turned it off, it never came back on, Doesnt get detected as MTK USB on the com port no matter what I do. Any help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit77seo:
If its not turning on contact your device's service center. I don't think its bricked as you said you are just using the phone and doing nothing dangerous operations on phone. By just using the phone doesn't brick the phone I guess. Its something else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trexxit:
But if i plugged it in wouldnt there be a charge light or something if ti wasnt bricked? I cant figure out why it did this, as it was a great phone while it was working :/

What is your guys opinion on both these smart watches?

Both have pros and cons.

Galaxy Gear Live:

Pro:

Has a better screen.

Heart rate monitor

Cons:

Smaller 300 mah batter.

Charging cradle is horrible.

LG G Watch.

Pro

Bigger battery.

Has a lot of praise on the XDA sub forum.

Cons.

Lower quality screen.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verks:
I have not used the LG yet but I can't complain about the battery on the Gear Live. Today is my first full day of use and I'm at 48% right now after 14 hours. Not bad. I had the Gear 2 and I love Android Wear as a os over what Sammy does. I like the build and look of the Gear Live. Looking forward to more apps.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
The Gear Live is much like the Gear Neo and people sure they like more battery life but I believe the screen is not as hard on the battery as the LG watch.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscsltd:
I had a Neo for a couple of months and I would get about three days battery life.

It was ok but it really looked like it wasn't going to get any decent apps for it, so I switched to the G watch.

On the Gear, I miss the Home key and the longer battery life than the G watch.

The G watch works better with notifications but if they aren't from Google Apps, you only get the title of the notification and a small amount of the content.

You also can't change the font size on the G watch and to be honest, it's just too big when scrolling through an email.

I'm very hopeful that the limitations on notifications will be addressed as apps are updated to integrate with Android Wear. I really couldn't see this happening with the Gear as the audience is just too small for the app developers to bother.

Also, I'm looking forward to some decent extensions of existing apps that actually work well with Android Wear!

I'm debating to get the Gear Live or G Watch.

I'm just waiting to see if T-Mobile or AT&T will be carrying the Gear Live anytime soon. You can get a G Watch for under $200 if you pick 2 more small accessories on AT&T.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deraiz12:
I like g watch she have a good look
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscsltd:
I have the G Watch.

I'm pleased with it and find:

Screen is fine in daylight and even bright sun.

Easily good for a day battery life.

I had the Gear 2 and I prefer the less bulky size of the G Watch.

I don't notice the slightly lower res of the G Watch....things still look crisp and good.

Not had any issues with the lack of a power button and you can restart watch in the settings.

I do think there should be a home button mind.

Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and the pace that apps are being developed is looking really good.....unlike the Tizen platform!
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
When are these going to be available in stores? Would like to at least check these watches out but Best Buy just keeps saying preorder.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulG1488:
I bought my g watch from best buy yesterday just call a local one and ask when they'll have it in store. They should be able to check other stores near you too.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Did they have them out to play with? I want to experience android wear but wondering if I should wait. That's why I was leaning more towards the Gear Live solely because it's a little cheaper.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I have the G Watch and like it so far. Coming from the Gear 1 running Tizen, it was a pretty big learning curve. Android Wear has more development and lets me do more from my watch than Tizen (i.e. navigate, change phone volume, stream live camera feed from the phone, etc). I do miss making calls on the watch....a lot. I sorta miss the camera but I rarely used it.

From what I've read, the Gear Live is similar to the Neo, only with Wear not Tizen. So I wouldn't imagine there are huge differences between the Live and G Watch aside from cosmetics.

I'll definitely buy a next gen Android Wear watch when they get speakers!
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senseijuan:

I would go for Gear Live better screen, better looks and the heart rate monitor is a huge addition

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariuxReloaded:
Samsung Gear Live is better than LG Watch: it's better looking and, if Samsung leaves Android for Tizen, it would be one of those devices which will turn to this OS, even if I prefer Android ;)
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiderflash:
I have to go for the g watch. I actually prefer the looks of the G watch, I like that it has a clean industrial design with no buttons :D Many people hate that but I love it.

Also I hate Samsung and tizen is just hurgh. LG all the way, my phone is a Nexus 5 also from LG :P

I don't do sports lel: no heartbeatsensor, so what? I only wish the screen was a little better on the G Watch as you can really see the pixels sometimes. And the amoled screen is also a plus for the gear live as it doesn't shine as much at night and is better visible in daylight.

All in all the watches are very similar considering hardware so I guess it comes down to the look basically.

Merci pour cette présentation.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komodo Rogue:
Personally, I went with the G Watch, but it was by a small margin. The larger battery on the G watch and a disdain for samsung's business practices (I fear samsung will be more likely to lock down the OS and/or design apps specifically for use with Samsung phones - although so far it seems like Google is doing a good job keeping things uniform across devices) were two of the deciding factors. I would have preferred an AMOLED screen and higher resolution, but the screen isn't *that* much better than the G watch's screen.

I think the gear live is the better choice if you intend to have the screen always on, especially with a mostly black background (power saving with amoled), and plan to use it primarily as a stylish watch. The gear live is subjectively better looking, and a nice watch face that's always on could potentially make it look even more stylish. The battery is sufficient for a day's use of a good-looking watch that you occasionally use for google now and other apps.

However, if you turn off the display's "always on" feature, and plan to use the watch extensively for apps/google services, I think the G watch delivers better battery life. So far, I haven't minded tapping the screen to see the date and time, so the watch display is almost always off - meaning the battery savings with samsung's amoled display would be nearly negligible for my use. However, I'm using the watch a LOT: I use it for navigation, I'm constantly signed in to hangouts and reply to the messages through the watch, I keep a running list of to-do notes, etc. I also have the screen brightness set really high, because its usually off anyway, but it's perfectly visible when I need it (even outdoors). With a full charge in the morning and the brightness set very high, I have yet to kill the battery before I go to sleep, even when I've used the watch extensively all day long - which is good, because my use will only increase as apps are developed.

tl;dr Ultimately, they're very similar and you can't really go wrong. The extra 100mAh on the G watch is probably negated if you plan to keep the watch "always on" (in fact, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Gear Live even gets better battery life when the screen is always on). If you turn the display off, though, then the battery-saving display technology won't matter as much and you'll have an extra 100mAh of battery life.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
I went in today to pick up the G watch and my best buy didn't have any. This is really frustrating. I believe the Gear Live is rumored to be available the 27th or 28th of July at best buys so maybe I'll check in a day or so for that watch. I want to try either one but don't want to have order one. Anyone having luck with finding them at best buys?

Thanks everyone for the reviews. I think they are both decent I'd be happy with either. I know they're not no moto 360, but I bet they end up being a good amount cheaper than the 360. So hopefully I can find one of these in best buy. Leaning towards the Gear live cause the screen and heart rate monitor.

- What kind of bad esn phones can I buy (models) because people said that it's too hard to unlock an iPhone ?

- Can you give me tutorials to unlock those phones ?

- Can I use them to send messages ? In 3g/4g ? To call ?

- If I buy a SPRINT or VERIZON bad esn phone, can I use it in morocco with just unlocking the sim ?

Thank you :)

Hi,

Bad as in blacklisted....or bad as in corrupt??? Makes a big difference.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Actually, either way its a terrible idea. The phone is either broken or stolen and we don't don't discuss the stolen ones on XDA. And if its broken (corrupt) its broken.

Terrible idea to purposely buy one.

Buy a working phone for a few bucks more.

Good luck!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Rock:
Just about a week ago, a friend asked me to get cyanogenmod going on his Cricket Galaxy S4. I loaded the latest SNAPSHOT at the time (M7), and everything seemed to work okay as he had service, data, text, calls, whatnot. Only thing that isn't working right now is MMS. An update to a more recent nightly didn't help, an update to the latest SNAPSHOT didn't help. We've tried editing the APN, adding a fresh new APN for Cricket, but nothing seems to work. When attempting to send a picture message, the SMS application just shows "Sending" but never sends anything. Switching to Hangouts doesn't do any good either. I'm trying to fix this problem before deciding the phone goes back to stock touchwiz. Does anybody here have any idea what's going on here and how to fix it, if there is a fix at all? Again, it's a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Cricket Wireless.

Hey there.

Same phone, same carrier, same issue. Unfortunately these are known issues with running CM on the S4.

I was running SM for quite a while in hopes this would get resolved but it has been quite a while and there does not seem to be any progress on it.

I reflashed mine back to stock to restore MMS functionality.

There were a couple other issues too. It has been quite a while but I know one of them was I would never get 4G service, only 3G.
