interested too in LCARS watch

i would be interested in the LCARS watch too there are quite a few LCARS pics on a google search
[Sony Smartwatch] Trespassing:
Maybe something like this?
[Sony Smartwatch] nwg:
Exactly what I was talking about: it must not be too complex. Even after cutting out what was possible it still looks horrible after being scaled to 220x176 px. It'll look even worse on the smartwatch. A new, original inspired, simplified graphics is necessary to make this watchface.
[Sony Smartwatch] Trespassing:
Unfortunately this is what LCARS is like... I'll try to give you a less complex graphic. Maybe I'll have to create one in the needed resolution with those elements which are important for the look. Stay tuned!
[Sony Smartwatch] nwg:
If so, I'll add code.

+1 on the LCARS style. Would love to see an LCARS watchface for SW2.

But now that Sony has moved over to Android Wear how long will support for SW2 last? Is it really worth devs making watchfaces for SW2 when they could make them for Android Wear and sell far more?
[Sony Smartwatch] Trespassing:
Sw2 is in discount at the moment - user numbers will increase - and Sw2 users are more loyal and don't thing you will get anything for free. This is something Wear-devs will get to feel very soon
[Sony Smartwatch] nwg:
Not that I want to tease you, but the LCARS watch face you requested is almost ready. Stay tuned. :)

Yeah, it was fun. And I'd have to go crazy to make a paid app containing registered trademarks. They have an army of lawyers in the Paramount. :D

I was thinking about it. The simplest way would be just to squeeze everything vertically. I'll take a look what it looks like. Otherwise I'd have to redraw all the 60 frames. :/
[Sony Smartwatch] Trespassing:
Maybe it could be possible to squeeze to 4x4 without too much work? I think LCARS won't look nasty if not fitting in the width. ;)

You're right... Paramount would act like Ferengi :D

Unfortunately in Sony SDK 3.0 there's no API to access the watch battery level, as well as other useful stuff like alarm settings or unread notifications. Of course you can read battery level via android BatteryManager class, but the phone battery only. I saw at stackoverflow that [MENTION=1370015]nefa[/MENTION] asked the Sony team to add these APIs. The only we can do is to wait for them.

Nwg i had to join this forum just to post my thanks for this, the watch face is brillant, im spreading the word to all my SW2 friends.

Any chance you would give some time to making the metal gear solid twin snakes codec ptt into a watchface? Sony fans would be over the moon, especially with the playstation 20th anniversary going on at present.
[Sony Smartwatch] nwg:
Haha, such a simple watch face made so many people happy. My pleasure. :)

Concerning your question: why not, but I'm no gamer. You'd have to give me sample graphics, as [MENTION=4675976]Trespassing[/MENTION] did at the beginning of this thread.
[Sony Smartwatch] zulto:
Your LCARS watchface is very well thought out and the different colours (and the grid) as the seconds progress make this a step above hence why it makes so many people so happy.

Re: Metal Gear PTT codec watchface;

I attached a screenshot but the link below will be more useful:

(I can't post links but if you put this at the end of youtube com/) watch?v=a01GJ74X_R4

"YouTube video title: 'Metal Gear - Solid The Twin Snakes - All Cutscenes/ Full Movie (HD Remastered)' "

This link is a complete play through of the game in HD, if you go to time 37:35 there is a long codec conversation that will show how the bars move (this can be the ticker for the watch face seconds)

It would be quite simple. I'm not sure if it's gonna look very well due to lack of colours.

Unfortunately Sony also broke this awesome watchface with their latest SW2 update. Date digits disappeared. Is there anything you can do about that?
[Sony Smartwatch] nwg:
True. I was replying to users' feeback all the yesterday evening. We are trying to get in touch with Sony, and [MENTION=443341]julz[/MENTION] asked a question on stackoverflow. Nobody knows how long it's going to take them to reply. Knowing Sony I don't expect them to help us soon. I'll be trying to find a workaround, just in case, but hell knows if it's possible at all.

Looks like the Moto X may be a keeper with a 5.2" screen.
[X 2014 General] miketino:
Looks very pleasant. Concerned a little bit about the battery size though
[X 2014 General] dewhashish:
Same about the battery, big concern if this thing cant last a whole day. Should be at least a 2700mAh battery with a screen over 5 inches. Unless moto made some big changes to background software for the battery (and the L preview's project volte being a battery saver), I might just wait and see.
[X 2014 General] rp3:
No :(. I currently own the LG G2 (having had a Moto X 2013 before). I liked how compact the old moto x was and have been disappointed with this year's flagships (HTC, LG, Samsung) for going larger but not superpowered relative to the LG G2 and Nexus 5.

The X2 is bigger in every dimension compared to the G2 (and I found that 2.8" width was my breaking point where I no longer like holding phones... why I downgraded from the LG G3 to LG G2) with a smaller battery and similiar power. The AMOLED screen will be great for battery life with notifications. The software updates seem really good and leave me more confident that post-Google Motorola won't fall off a cliff. The speakers aren't my thing. The additional mics aren't either (as I never leave my phone far from me in a crowded room. The camera looks very good as it seems like they fixed a weak area of

I think I'll be targeting slightly smaller phones for now (in the pre-SD805 days). On my fall list are the Galaxy Alpha, Sony's Z3 Compact and the Xioami Mi4.
[X 2014 General] 640k:
i'm very interested in seeing the actual performance of this phone. i have high hopes for the camera and additional functionality they're claiming. all-in-all i'll have to hold it before i make my decision.
[X 2014 General] gtalum:
Currently a Note 2 user, I was pleased to see the size increase on the Moto X. I'm concerned abotu the battery, though. Right now I'm torn between the Note 4, LG G3, Moto X, and Nexus 6/X.
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
According to Joshua from Anandtech even though the Moto X is the same in dimensions to the S5, the Moto X is still much easier to use with one hand because of its design and is similar to use with one hand to LG G2. So you should give it a try, maybe you'll like the size.
[X 2014 General] Fird:
Maybe?

Very disappointed to see the increased size, though it was inevitable.. I have been looking forward to this phone for months because of the innovation and engineering that went into the original moto x. Using separate processing elements for different parts of the phone is, I think, the absolute key to the battery life/functionality equation. I've been waiting for a company to split the UI and external features (screen, mics, cameras, etc..) off from the core phone functionality to save juice for a long time. When the screen is off, there should be little need to run the main processor, and therefore it should be kinder to its battery. I do need to know if this unit will have a replaceable battery, unfortunately its a complete no-go for me if it doesn't..

Hoping for the best!:good:

I like the size increase. I would rather it stayed at 5 inch screen instead of 5.2 but the battery size should have been bumped to 2600. Even if they are going to release a Moto Maxx version with a 3000 battery. Not sure if I will get this now or wait until the Nexus X before I ditch my VZW unlimited for greener pastures.
[X 2014 General] 640k:
let us not forget about this filing:

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/30/moto-maxx-trademarked-by-motorola-for-new-phone/

seems like the new X might be worth the additional wait. what was the turnaround on features for the X? AT&T had exclusivity until summer '12? Then other carriers got the "plain" variants, followed by MotoMaker almost two months later. Wood backs didn't arrive for... another two months?

if there were a bigger (read: thicker) battery option for the X in the works, are we looking at Jan release?
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
I'll probably wait to see what the next nexus phone is and then make a decision. Hopefully by then, there will be more clarification on what the Moto maXx is :). I'd really like a 2014 Moto X with a larger capacity battery. For me that's the only thing it's really missing.
[X 2014 General] Mayze23:
I don't get the battery size concern. I've never once worried about my moto x's battery running out by the end of the day. Motorola knows what they are doing.
[X 2014 General] 640k:
the new X is a good 1-2mm thinner than the old one at the edges. i'd say there's room for a 4000mAh battery.
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
That's great news for you then. :)
[X 2014 General] larry62:
Way too big for my taste, and I've become a big Moto fan since owning the X. What ever happened to all that research done to come up with the original X being the perfect size? Hope they do a blow out sale on the original X and I'll pick up a spare if the price is good. I understand the trend towards bigger phones, but all the Android manufacturers leaving behind high spec more compact models is VERY disappointing.
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
Until I hear Motorola pushing an update to improve the camera, and the results reflect said improvements, I just don't think I can pull the trigger.

After all is said and done, the configuration I want will cost me nearly $600 dollars. There is a lot to love about the new Moto X, but $600 is steep to have to pay for a camera that is largely regarded as "just okay" at the best of times. It just doesn't seem very reliable.

I'm starting to come around on the battery life as I continue to see people posting, frankly, impressive hours and SOT results. But the shortcomings of the camera, for me, cannot be reconciled.

I really don't understand why the Android OEMs that I like cannot get the camera right (namely HTC and Motorola). Even Sony's famous camera I have heard some mixed things about. Honest question: why can't any of the Android OEMs get it right or as good as what the iPhone's camera is regarded as? What is the difference? Samsung seems to be the only one that can come close, but TouchWiz is a deal-breaker.

It's a little frustrating.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
All the OEMs use good sensors (except HTC went off track). The difference is software. The iPhone, I must say, has the best camera software for a phone. Because of that, photos look good. Let's hope Android L can give us a jump start and lead us in the right direction. The new camera APIs in L is supposed to give more flexibility with the camera apps

[X 2014 General] Judge584:
Yes, it will be mine... and I tell you why

Just ordered a Moto X 2014, it will be mine on 10/13/14.

Why this choice ?

I'm historicaly a huge Nexus fan user, my previous Androïd smartphones were in order Nexus one, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4.

So of course I was waiting for the new Nexus 6 but my current Nexus 4 doesn't work properly anymore : need to be charged 3 times a day , constantly loosing network and asking me for Sim card PIN code and so on...

So I have to decide between ordering a Moto X 2014 or waiting an hypotetical 5.2 inchs Nexus 6 ( 5.9inchs is not for me ).

I have choose to order a New moto X for theses reasons :

- I cannot wait any longer for new Nexus

- Motorola is making really great quality smartphones

- Motorola smartphones are known to have good radio and good network sensivity/speed

- pure Androïd and fast updates

- Active display

- Nexus are good, especially their price ;) but for that we have to accept some drawbacks ( less battery, less quality for camera : please remember Optimus G vs Nexus4, or Optimus G2 vs Nexus 5 ).

So yes I think this is a good choice.

Now the worst that can happen is Google telling me a New 5.2inchs Nexus based on the rumored Droid turbo is comming... but even if this true :

- Will it have a huge battery like announced for Droid Turbo ? Not sure about that...

- Will it have the new Motorola dynamic tunning ? I have doubts about that...

- If the new nexus is perfect, with no drawbacks : i can just return my new moto X and then take a new Nexus ( Here in my land return Policy with full refund is permitted up to 15 days starting at the delivery date, so for me 13/10 + 15 days = 10/28 a date where I think we will all know what the New Nexus will be.)

Take a look at that photo and lmk if that's not good enough
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
That photo looks great, but we all know the Moto X performs well under prime conditions, especially with macro shots.

It's other situations I'm wary of. From what I've seen, if the conditions are even slightly off, the Moto X camera fails to deliver. This seems particularly true in low light settings. There's also the auto-focus issues that I keep hearing about. If you can provide photos under those conditions that say otherwise, I'd love to see them instead. I really would.

No smartphone camera does well in situations other than "prime." That's what real cameras are for :p. Some are better than others, and that I understand, but real cameras are better if you're in that bad situation constantly

There is a setting in the Moto cam where you can adjust the exposure and focus before taking a shot. Since by default that's turned off, that is why the focus may seem like a hit or miss

sent from my Moto X (2014)
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
There's plenty of photos on the moto x Google plus page, all look great. Always take phone reviewers with a grain of salt. Everyone claims the iPhone 6 is the best camera, where I found that my old s5 took way better daytime photos than the iPhone 6, and would zoom in 200% without quality loss.
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
How does the Moto X compare to the S5? The comparisons I've seen show the Moto X photos look hazy, noisy, washed out almost by yellow tint, whereas the S5, as you say, took fantastic pictures. Both devices testing in daytime conditions with plenty of light. I also see that the Moto X photos don't depict colors very accurately. Whites look overexposed without detail.

I'll give you that you can't rely solely on reviews (and that's why I'm here on forums asking/researching) and I'll even give you that it's possible the iPhone's camera is overrated (I find my Nexus 5 actually stands up pretty well to a friend's iPhone 6. We took some sample pictures and I was surprised at how good the Nexus 5 camera did).

The thing is, every time I look up comparisons or even sample pictures of the new Moto X, the results leave a lot to be desired. Every now and then, you find a gem of a photo, definitely, but the overall results don't paint an assuring enough picture (pun intended) for me to pull the trigger. At least not until Motorola improves it with a software update.

Like I said before, there's a lot to like about the Moto X. I want one, but the nearly $600 dollar price tag (per my configuration) is hard to swallow when the camera seems like it's not up to par.

EDIT: Found the comparisons I'm talking about: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Motorola-Moto-X-2014-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S5_id3807/page/3
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
S5 camera? Zero comparison IMHO. I miss that camera.

I'm finding myself to be in your situation as well, comparing my nexus to the moto x. While very nice, I'm not sure the hardware is worth the $273 more (after a $50 coupon) than my nexus 5.
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
The main reason I want to upgrade from the Nexus 5 is because of:

1) Inconsistencies with the battery life -- It's all over the place. Doing more or less the same things each day, I'll get vastly different battery life. It's annoying because you're not sure what to expect.

2) Poor radio signal and GPS strengths -- I'm sure this doesn't lend well to the battery life either. And the GPS, another source of annoyance. When navigating in the car with Google Maps, the Nexus 5 often takes a while to lock on, and has a hard time staying locked on. It's so frustrating when it's telling me to turn down a street I've already turned or turn down a street I'm nowhere near because the GPS lost touch with my actual location.

3) Low/weak loud speaker -- I'm not looking for Boom Speaker quality, but the volume, even at max, is pretty pathetic. In the car or when I'm out running with my phone, the speakers are virtually useless. It's simply too low.

The Moto X happens to excel in at least 2/3 of these categories (#2 and #3) and seems to fare better with battery, but there also seems to be some major tradeoffs that I'm just not willing to make quite yet. It's really a shame. I was hoping the Moto X would be an easy choice for my next phone.

What do you think you will do?
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
I understand that having a good camera is important, but seriously, whenever the websites host a phone vs phone comparison of the cameras, I literally have to scan over each image a few times to really perceive a meaningful difference.

Just look at this link. It has photos from most of the top smartphones. IMO, the images are close enough that you won't take a picture with the X and think "fsck, this picture is ruined."

The only phone comparison I want to see is a few pictures of some kids playing in a room lit normally with lamps/ceiling fixture but with no outside light. The kind if lighting where you feel its "bright" and comfortable, but cell phones struggle like crazy to take a in focus non blurry picture.

This definitely made my eyes open this morning. If it's ugly like the verizon version it may be a pass but you can't deny those specs on the droid turbo. I'm already waiting for the announcement of the nexus before I make any decisions. I really want to stay with the moto suite features so I'll sacrifice a bit of specs to hold onto it but if there is any legs to this rumor, it'd could change a lot of people's decisions.
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
Yes it will be that ugly, which is fine, I don't buy phone to show off. Verizon just temporarily leaked a thumbnail of phone on their twitter before pulling it, and it look just like that. Also, that website got it wrong, I honestly believe it will be for Verizon only. Even despite the GSM bands, Verizon are unlocked world phones, they have GSM bands included.

Edit: I heard AT&T and T-Mo also file a similar device with FCC, so maybe it's true.
