[Samsung Gear S] le0.br4zuc4:
I had a Gear Circle for about a week. I didn't like as much as I thought I would. I have a Note Edge and a Gear S. My main headset is a LG Infinim but I thought I wanted to stay all Samsung, maybe I was missing on some feature or something.

Pros:

I like the idea of disconnect to answer, love that actually.

Battery life

Audio quality

Cons

The back part, where I'm assuming they keep the battery is "heavy" and weight is not well distributed. So when wearing it and working out, the battery doesn't sit on your neck, instead is falls behind your back and you feel it pulling the headset from your years. I hope I was able to explain it well enough.

I didn't find it confortable enough to wear it during the day. We go back to the weight not being well distributed.

For now, I'll keep my LG until something "better" comes out.

[Samsung Gear S] srtpusher:
i have a larger neck - the plastic thing cuts into my neck and the magnets separate sometimes when i turn my head. time to check out the lg tone+
[Samsung Gear S] scann:
I was going to purchase the Gear Circle but after trying it on and looking at the ergonomic button and mic placements. I decided to stick with my LG HBS850. The main thing I did not like about the Gear Circle is the placement of the mic, it picks up wind noise when I'm outside trying to talk on the phone. With the LG headset the mic is down on your neck so I can hide the mic in my shirt when outside which eliminates the wind noise when talking on the phone.
[Samsung Gear S] erick161:
Did you use the plastic neck band meant to keep it from doing exactly what you described? I wear it when I'm working out and I've worn it all day. No problems. Only thing I wished it had was noise canceling mic. Seems silly it wasn't included.
[Samsung Gear S] le0.br4zuc4:
Yes. That plastic is SUPER uncomfortable (at least after getting used to my LG). Also, let's be honest here. You buy a headset based on the features and design and the last thing you'd imagine is that when you open the box, that'd be some cheap, uncomfortable plastic support you need to put on a device in order for it to be usable.

I went back to my LG and not looking back.

I love Samsung products, except this one.
[Samsung Gear S] erick161:
Interesting. I personally can't stand the wires hanging there on every LG save for their top model (infinum iirc). I couldn't justify spending more than double for the infinums over the circles.

Luckily for me the plastic band is completely comfortable.

Pairing

I've had the gear circle for a couple of weeks now, but when I upgrade sometime in September I was wanting to switch from Samsung to another brand. I was wondering is it possible to lift the rescriction of using the gear app so I can continue to use it either on another brand device or on other systems entirely for example laptop or PS3?
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
Are there still bad reviews here for the circle? I was thinking of maybe getting one to use with running while connected to gear s
[Samsung Gear S] erick161:
Still love mine. Pairs well with my note 4 and gear S
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
Does it stay in your ears while jogging?
[Samsung Gear S] Sygrest1:
Is there a way to make these work with any other devices besides a Samsung
[Samsung Gear S] erick161:
Yup! I specifically purchased it for the gym. I was initially skeptical since it doesn't strap around your ear. But everything stays in place. I use the neck band tho.

I actually had to adjust my around-the-ear earphones more than I ever have these.

[Samsung Gear S] YooNaa Kim:
I've got my Circle since 2 weeks ago. Even I've googled a lot until to order it, after 2 weeks I'm unhappy :crying: with the headset. Unfortunately, has passed the period when I could return them...

The brace neck is so stiff, an ordinary plastic and already I've seen little cracks on the middle where it fit the battery. I've tried all the 3 size braces, the small cuts in to my neck... the largest make the battery to slip on the back and is uncomfortable and the Medium is between the S and L, but the wires are too short and the ear-buds don't stay comfortable into my ear canal... when I'm walking (not running or something hard on the gym) the ear-buds are falling a lot even I've changed all the ear-buds tips. The major problem is when I'm sweating... they are falling every time I'm moving the head and the neck brace is irritating my neck where is rubbing my skin.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking to buy a Earhoox buds extend... but I don't know if they fit.

http://earhoox.com/shop/#for-earbuds

When I'm not using the headset, I connect it with the clasp magnets and wearing on my neck, but because the buds it rubs the clothing, the ear tips hole is filled with dust an is unhygienic to reintroduce it in to the ear canal, so everyday I have to clean the ear tips.

To conclude, I'm unhappy because I've paid almost 100 Euro for a headset which is a total design failure... I don't comment on the technical specifications, because I don't have the knowledge to do it.
[Samsung Gear S] messierm45:
hey my mom gave me the gear circle as a present, the problem is that i have an Xperia Z3 so some features of the circle are disabled, so my question here is, is there a way to make the samsung manager to work in my xperia? sorry for my poor english
[Samsung Gear S] StrellaMarr:
Well I'm using gear circle for months and I really love it, I never had a pairing issue, I love the way it connects with my note 4 and gear s same time,the sound quality is amazing and the volume is great , not low as an experience a member shared in this thread (I have my devices rooted and volume intensity modded) so I'm satisfied for now...you should also look for reviews of the new level u, is kinda similar but cheaper than the circle
[Samsung Gear S] Cperrry1:
I also have the gear circle, well, 2 now, black and white. For me these are the best wireless headphones I have owned. Sound is incredible. I hear things ive never heard with other ear buds. I too was not so crazy about the plactic brace, but have since gotten used to it. As far as volume, its more than loud enough for me, I guess due to me using poweramp and its equilizer, whichs gives a wider frequency range then most other equilizers. When I use google play music, I have to increase volume more, and the sound isnt as detailed as when using poweramp, but its good enough.

I purchased the level U headphones, and I was not impressed, hell, I thought I was doing something wrong because they in no way compared to the gear circles. I sent them back and purchased the white gear circle.

I'll be using my gear circles until Samsung comes out with a comparable or better wireless head phone. Just my opinion.

Love is in need of Love.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nitropower:
I charged N7 overnight and in the morning upon unplugging the unlock animation was excruciatingly slow. I could nit reboot N7 even after holding the power button for close to a minute or so. However after an hour i could make it boot, but with in a few seconds it went back to tortoise speed. I reflashed nexus 7 image (this time dev preview L) wiping out everything and i can see it didn't help, so most probably this is a hardware issue (i suspect CPU/GPU overheating in a few seconds)

Has anyone experienced this and is there any resolution other than sending the device to the service centre?

Thanks

Hi!

At the beggining - I'm sorry if you won't understand something. English isn't my main language, I still learn.

In some smartphones with AMOLED screen (such as Samsung Galaxy S4) black pixel = turned off pixel.

I've always been irritated because of the fact that our batteries aren't too great, but phone producers still produce their phones with hiper-resolution, which practically we cannot even see.

I have invented something, that later I turned to real app.

[IMG="Icon"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/fop5y4z6miodhr8/70%20kopiuj.png?dl=1[/IMG]​

I call it Pixel Battery Saver, because it displays some kind of totally black mesh on the screen (you can change its density), so at least half of the pixels (or more) are turned off (so the screen consumes less energy!), while you are still able to read anything on your screen.

If you still don't understand, just take a look at the screenshots.

I've already created this app.

You may download and test it for free,

but if you really appreciate my work - I would be grateful for every donation (every single dollar would be helpful).

Let me know if you found any annoying bug or misspelling. This is my very first app - I still learn :)

Density of the mesh that I recommend is "High".

[Android Apps and Games] disip:
Always use the latest version with fixed bugs and new options.

[CHANGELOG]

v2.0 (coming as far as it's possible - see below):

- new option to automatically start service at specific battery level

- hidden notification icon

- option to detect package installer to prevent its bug (stops mesh activity when you're installing new app and starts it again when it's done)

- new option to dim the screen (useful at night)

- select between two navigation bar overlay modes: fully black and mesh

- probably less memory usage due to better optimalization

- tabbed app UI

- small fixes

- totally no ads

and in the future - things from "TODO" (see at the bottom of this post)

Here's the current status of premium version:

The premium app is ready, but still in beta (some bugs may happen) BUT...

I want this premium version to be paid (not much ofc!) - and making it possible is quite hard in my country (or even impossible in this case...), so I'm talking to my friend from Holland - he can help me with that (by creating the company in Holland, which is necessary to sell the apps). The problem is - we both don't know Holland's language.

Is there anyone from Holland who could help and that I could speak in English with?

I'd love to publish the premium app as far as everything about the company is done.

v1.3.1:

- new option to add the mesh to the navigation bar

- small optimalization

v1.2.1:

- fixed doubled mesh after reboot (black screen)

- fixed unnecessary scrolling to the bottom ad

v1.2:

- quickly show/hide the mesh with notification action

- Ads. Sorry =)

v1.1.1:

- shortcut to the donation page

v1.1:

- new option to automatically start service on boot

- small bugfixes

[TO DO]

- Widget

[KNOWN BUGS]

- I can't install any app (unable to tap Install button)

> This bug is fixed in version 2.0 (added new option to prevent this) - see above
[Android Apps and Games] disip:
FAQ:

What do I need this for?

- Imagine this situation - your battery level is really low, but you have to search for something important on the Internet. Making the brightness lower often isn't enough. That's when you would need my app - to turn off some count of pixels.

There are lots of apps that dim the screen...?

- This app works different. It doesn't overlay your screen with transparent image (but there is such option in premium version if you need it too). It overlays your screen with totally black screen, which makes some count of pixels off, to prevent them from consuming battery.

Do I really need AMOLED screen?

- The best results you can get right with AMOLED screen, where black pixel means turned off pixel. However, even in other type screens black pixels are saving some battery, so it's just worth to check.

In battery stats I can see that this app consumes a lot of energy. Why?

- Don't look at the stats, look at the real battery consumption. Probably, Android Battery Stats app "thinks", that this app display an image on the screen all the time, because of what it shows an information about consuming energy. In fact, this app turns OFF the pixels (in AMOLED screens with this function), so it SAVES that energy, not consumes.

When the mesh is on, I am unable to install apps (Install button is disabled). What to do?

- That's because of the Android Security. In premium version of Pixel Battery Saver I added an option to bypass this protection. In this free version you can simply turn off the app (by clicking "Turn off" button in Settings window) before installing any app and then turn on it again.

Where's the premium version?

- I will post it to Google Play in some not long time ;) Please see the post #2
[Android Apps and Games] tariq2kn:
May I know the amount of battery saving actually realised by you.
[Android Apps and Games] disip:
It's hard to specify how much it saved, because there's no option to check it. I just feel that my battery is handling more hours, which is obvious when some pixels are off.

[MENTION=4860656]ahmed.gubara[/MENTION] - that's pretty weird. Maybe that's because of non-amoled screen. Don't really know, I have never experienced this and you're probably the first! Maybe try with lower level of the mesh?

[MENTION=4266582]jonytestXD[/MENTION] - thanks. As I wrote in FAQ, I know about this and I will fix it someday.

Hello.

Does anyone have a compilation or index with some of the compatible Xposed MOD for Lg Optimus G?

I want to fully customize my phone. :)

Thanks. (Sorry for my poor english)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
That would be quite difficult to do, and not very useful, IMO... The compatibility is not determined by the device, but rather by the ROM that is used. Many multifunctional modules are often only partially compatible, e.g. Gravity Box, XBlast, Wanam Kit and such. Besides, many people would only use a fraction of features available in such modules, so they might not even know whether some other features are compatible with their ROMs. Listing all compatibility scenarios would just be impossible...

I can provide my list, but a doubt it would be very useful...
[HTC One X] si_d_2003:
Its been a while since flashing roms and I was going to sell my one x but needed stock software and unrooting. But I have ended up with my phone stuck in fast boot with it saying re locked at the top. I think i know where I went wrong but its too late. I dont have any backup because it was ages ago and I have tried various stock roms all returning errors. This is what I was following:

"fastboot oem Lock"

2) "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

3) "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"

4) "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

5) "fastboot flash "unlocktoken Unlocktoken.bin"

6 "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-4.18.401.2-endeavoru-JB.img

7) fastboot flash boot ( the boot.img from the custom rom)

8) go in to recovery and install the custom rom.

I got stuck at 6 giving me an error, I presume it was the wrong file.

Do I actually have to do fastboot oem Lock, because its relocked?

Could anybody help me out with what stock roms and file I need please? I know there are a lot of posts but each one is idividual and with different firmware.
