[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
There were rumours about a new Droid/Milestone last year, but that was it... Nobody from Motorola ever mentioned they will be working on a new qwerty hw keyboard phone.

I've looked into the matter more deeply a couple of months ago and I found many tech bloggers talking about their wishes for a new high-spec'ed qwerty phone, but most seemed to agree that it probably will not happen, since it just became an obsolete idea...somehow. Not sure how at all, since there are MANY of us who want it and yet none of the manufacturers give any attention to it.

If Moto get to it and made a new well-designed and great-spec'ed phone with a slide out keyboard, that would be my next phone 100%. Maybe we should start an online petition to let them know what we think. Anyone interested to attend to it?

Because I really think it's unlikely that they will be announcing a new qwerty phone together with the new Droid line-up this year....

P.S. Edited my previous post to make it more neighbourhood friendly. I may be young (22) but I still find it to be the same language, only two different dialects. But let's not go into any (anti-)nationalism talk...

Why not using a Bluetooth Keyboard? You can play music in background too...

And you can have the hole screen while writing...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roymental:
Yeah, that's more or less what I mean. But more like Airdroid for another droid, with a mirrored screen.

I couldn't use the mile2 for everyday business anymore cause it's too slow (though it works fairly good with the miui rom) , but I thought it might be sufficient just as a remote & mirror function.

A bluetooth keyboard would mean I'd need two devices on the table. My idea was more to use the benefits of the hardkeys when on my way somewhere and leave the razr in the pocket when typing.

Btw. I'm desperately seeking for a reason to still use my miley2 :) I just can't let go of it.... :)

Probably I'll stick to Motorola forever for some reason I don't really know....
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roymental:
hell yeah, I'm in for an online petition.

that would be my next phone too. thanks for sharing your insight!

And everything anti-nationalism is fine if you ask me :) if it's even worth mentioning here... I think that there's rarely any geek, coder or real hacker by nature who's flying with the right wing :cyclops:
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
Care to start it, then? :D Or perhaps we should get someone from the US to start the petition? Motorola is still a US based company, as far as I know... And their two current strongholds are the States and India, if I'm not mistaken. I'm just saying that I'm not sure how much they care for the European market at the moment.

One more thing off topic - is that Gingerbread MIUI you're talking about? Because any post Gingerbread MIUI rom sucked the life out of my Defy, which has the same hw as the M2... Anyway, if you haven't checked out CM11 on the M2 already, maybe you should give it a shot, it worked very good on the Defy.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roymental:
I use this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614328

I think battery life is not bad. Thanks for the hint! I'm going to try out that one! :D

I was using tezets cm9 nightlies for a while; fast but not very reliable, so I eventually preferd the miui-one, which is totally stable.

Don't know about starting the petition myself; I'm from switzerland, don't know any US-motorola-citizens so far... maybe we'll find someone in the forums?

Hi,

I wanted to ask if, besides Bravia, Sony has any other camera tweaks that get lost when flashing a custom rom?

Or will the picture quality on custom roms still be excellent.

Help is appreciated, approx 30 minutes of research on the matter lead me nowhere.

Regards

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
Bravia isn't even a camera tweak, you won't be able to see it on any other device. X-reality (aka bravia) merely applies post processing effects on your phone screen when viewing image in album.

So i rooted my tab, and attempted to flash a custom recovery i saw on here, but I suppose it was for an earlier version of the tab not compatible with this one, so whenever i attempt to boot up into recovery it says could not boot into os or something along those lines. I currently have no way to get into my recovery and can't seem to find a .img file to flash, you guys have any insight? OS boots up fine, just no recovery available.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vintage144:
It boots to OS ? Root is gone , which custom recovery did you have?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrillz:
Root is still intact. The only problem is no recovery. I've looked everywhere for the stock recovery .Img with no luck, and there doesn't seem to be any custom recoveries either.

Just wondering who is planning on changing smart watches from their Sony SmartWatch 2 to one of the newly announced Android Wear smart watches? Also interested in who has already made the swap.

Vote in the poll and leave your comments below.
[Sony Smartwatch] enigma_x:
no, im not. i still like my sw2 and other smartwatches still dont offer any reason to replace sw2.

Sent from OPO.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
still very much liking my SW2, waiting for the G Watch R and ZenWatch to become available so i can check reviews, not buying anything before that
[Sony Smartwatch] n3vry:
Staying with SW2 until something better comes along. The Android Wear offerings right now just can't compete.
[Sony Smartwatch] bast525:
This.

None of the new watches seem to be an improvement.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
I'm kind of hanging out for the Moto 360 to be released in Australia. The reviews don't seem to be all that positive at the moment but it is an attractive watch ⌚
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
I will move on. Sony abandoning SW2 tells me I should too.
[Sony Smartwatch] ruggs1234:
The Sony Smartwatch 2 does everything I need it to..the way I like it too. Very sad that Sony have jumped to Android Wear. I don't like Android Wear so far and I cant see that changing. And Google are far to intrusive for me.

I intend to buy another Smartwatch 2 as a spare, just to be safe. I tried not wearing the Smartwatch 2 for a couple of days and every time my phone got a text or a call I looked at my wrist. Its a hard habit to break once you get used to a Smartwatch.
[Sony Smartwatch] marcovittori:
well,i'm going to stay with the sw2 until google will release android wear 2.0 and the new smartwatch.
[Sony Smartwatch] leximu5:
I couldn't have said it any better. No current touchscreen smartwatch has addressed my primary concern, which is battery life. Right now, I can squeeze two full days of battery with my SW2, anything less than that is not worth taking the leap.
[Sony Smartwatch] enigma_x:
i charged my sw2 two times a week. it lasts 3-4 days in my light use.... notification, reading sms/emails/news/browsing web...

Sent from OPO.
[Sony Smartwatch] scrapzz:
It last a week for me, but thinking to buy de moto 360 becaus it looks better with the round display.

only point i will miss is that it has not a transflective screen.
[Sony Smartwatch] Trespassing:
I won't because I'm not fan of Android Wear. If SW2 will die some day, I'll have a look on things actually at this moment. For now I can't imagine to change Smartwatch...
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
I love my sw2 and I thought it could not change. I have everything I need. I got a free LG GWatch and I wear two watch right now.

LG is really much easier to use and does a lot more than something practically doing nothing. "OK Google" : setup an alarm in 4H, weather, reminds me dentist 27 september at 13H, takes a note take the car to the garage next month, my remind for today, new event doctor october 28 at 18H34 .... everything is done almost without touching anything and without hands.

just try wear one day and we can not do without ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Yeah this is something I'm looking forward to as I use google now on my phone and find it quite useful. But battery life is still a concern for me.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
i wonder if we'll ever see another update for the SW2

i'd still really like to see a selectable screen/message timeout

and official whatsapp support

what would you guys really want from an update?
[Sony Smartwatch] skiwong20:
i love my sw2..i am goin to stick with this for work nd i ordered a moto 360 on release.. thats for me to go out with or if i want to feel real dressy at work. not sure how much i will like android wear but i do like the new designs of watch..360 nd zen r my fav..the new sony looks cool but they make buy there bands only...good luck on your decision.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
I'd like to see Sony add a pseudo Google Now feature in which you trigger Google now from your watch but it uses your phone's microphone and displays info on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
I've never seen too much of interest to Google Now on the phone. I thought it would be the same on the watch. In fact it is totally different on the smartwatch. Voice commands are used instead of the menus on the screen and response. "Start Evernote" instead of power + home + swip and find evernote icon + click icon. The smartwatch remains lit shorter and it consumes less energy.

Many Android applications already run with wear without the need for an additional application to find for the smartwatch. Ex : AllTheCooks -> you have a Wear Shopping List, CalenGoo -> you have an "Add new Event" with vocal command in Wear.....
[Sony Smartwatch] el_venga:
I just got a SW2 and im not changing for a long while, maybe when battery drain improves. This ones lasts 2 days with regular use. Moto 360 has received bad reviews about battery drain and slow performance. The new LG G Watch R seems a lot better and looks even better.
[Sony Smartwatch] Gordon01:
Nothing works more then one day and sw2 offers very good functionality. No reason to abandon. Android Wear is alpha crap still. Samsung abandon their watches every 3 months and also cost very high.

Pebble is an interesting alternative but again - no signifficant reasons.

If I'm was apple fan - I'll preorded iWatch - IMHO very nice watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] Hermantje:
Secondhand, the Sony Smartwatch 2 is only around €20 cheaper than the LG G Watch here in The Netherlands.

I've made up my mind; I'll be getting myself an LG G Watch pretty soon, second-hand for only like €100 :silly:

I am going to miss how the Smartwatch 2 had an awesome battery life though, and how it looked a little more appealing than the rectangle that is the G Watch (even though the SW2 is pretty square as well, I find it a lot better looking). If only the Gear Live was available and priced similarly as the G Watch second-hand... I'd love to have an AMOLED display on a smartwatch!
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
MOTO has already sent out a fix that not only improved battery life significantly but also made performance smoother. By Christmas I will get one. Probably keep the SW2 since there probably won't be much resale value.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Thanks for the update on the Moto360. I should be getting a Sony SmartWatch 3 to develop new watchfaces on so I'm looking forward to trying it out. I'm still keen to get a Moto360 and if the battery life improves to last at least 18 hours then it's good enough for me. I think the SmartWatch 3 lasts two days.
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
I use most of your watchface in my SW2.

On Wear there are yet a lot of face for now. There are also app like Facer or Wear Watchface Creator which allows to create its own face with background and hand picture very easily by user.

There are yet tons of faces in only 2 month

I changed SW2 to LG G Watch and today I'm back on SW2. Android Wear has long way to be perfect. Control is almost useless, especially in non-english areas. Battery live about 1 day vs 3-4 days with SW2. Display almost not visible on the sun.

Most of applications are like pre-alpha version and are almost unusable in real life.

My decision returning back was affected by hardware mallfunction (pins corrosion), I'm sending the device back and bought again new SW2. I will wait at least 1 year and the perhaps would competitors devices better.
[Sony Smartwatch] Belkiolle:
Already moved on

I moved on from my SW2 when the Pebble Steel was announced. I kind of wish I hadn't sold it so that I could play with it but for an everyday driver the Steel is so much better for me that I can't imagine going back to the SW2 full time.

I'm actually looking for one cheap on Swappa or Ebay to play with but Sony isn't going to support it enough to replace anything going forward.

I'm really looking forward to getting an LG G Watch R but again I don't see it replacing the Pebble Steel as a daily driver. PebbleOS is quite mature now and Android Wear is still in infancy. The 1 day, at best, battery life is a killer for me.
[Sony Smartwatch] AlexOB1:
Why is the pebble better for you?
[Sony Smartwatch] Belkiolle:
No particular order off the top of my head

1. Battery life - I got a day and a half with the SW2 if I wasn't receiving a lot of notifications. On a normal day I needed to charge my watch by 3PM. I get 5-7 days with the Pebble.

2. Open Source OS that allows me to do my own tinkering

3. I actually prefer the E-Ink screen in a watch because I don't have to worry about what kind of light I'm in to see it.

4. Looks, though that's a personal thing. I wanted a smart watch that looks like a watch and not an iPod Nano strapped to my wrist. I didn't think the SW2 was unattractive but it's not as nice as the Steel. It's the same reason I'm seriously thinking about getting the LG G Watch R.

5. Much larger development community

6. Commitment to the OS and the watch Ecosystem from the developer. Sony just didn't seem committed to the SW2 or the OS at all at the time. Of course, we know now that Sony is moving to Android Wear.

7. Better build quality

The SW2 isn't a bad watch but it showed its age really quickly.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
Well thought out response, thanks. I really agree with 5 and 6. Pebble really did well working with developers. I also think Sony has done a poor job supporting devs and customers by jumping from sw1 to sw2 to sw3. One reason I am looking to move on to Moto360 or LG.
[Sony Smartwatch] stopa10:
Well, I know the pebble quite well, and let me say that I do not agree with what you say. In terms of battery life, for example, I easily get 3 days with the SW2. What kills the Pebble, in my opinion, is the absence of a color display, and no touchscreen. That really makes a difference for me.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
I tend to agree. The pebble has a much lower resolution screen. I'm also not sure what types of apps are available and whether they are as extensive as what is available for the Sony SmartWatch 2. The user interface of the SmartWatch 2 is also very intuitive a different easy to use for those who are used to using Android as the buttons and screen UI mirror Android.
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
I charge my SW2 every 3 days and my pebble every 5 days. So no much difference between SW2 and pebble. And pebble last long time because you can not do much with this watch. 90% of pebble app is to display weather.

pebble screen is difficult to read if we have not lot of light, font 14 (most used font in pebble) is not readable if not full light if you have more than 30 years
[Sony Smartwatch] Belkiolle:
Can't do much with a Pebble? Are you sure you own one?

These are just a few things I do with mine. Tasker makes the possibilities for the Pebble almost infinite honestly with just a little bit of coding. Anything you can do on the SW2 with Tasker you can do with the Pebble.

1. Location based cool stuff - I manage my Nest thermostat with it. In fact thanks to AutoPebble and Tasker as soon as I get home my entire home environment profile changes from an energy saving profile to one that makes the house comfortable for us while occupied. When I leave it asks if I want to change back to the energy saver profile.

2. Media Stuff - I use it as a remote for both my XBMC and Plex servers.

3. Key Fob - I use it to remote start and unlock my car.

4. Notifications - It has Android Wear actionable notifications with the latest beta v.2.9.1. which completely covers SMS, phone calls, email, you name it since just about every major app has Android Wear API support now.

5. Fitness - I use it when running for activity tracking and music control. This is easy thanks to the Fitbit integration. It also has Runtastic and Runkeeper integration if you prefer those.

That's not even a small part of what I use my Pebble for every day and I still get 6-7 days life out of it. There is a lot I do with my Pebble that wasn't available with the SW2 (might be now) but even then the battery life just blows the SW2 away. I went on vacation for two weeks about a month ago and turned all notifications off except SMS. It lasted 12 of the 14 days without charging. I took it snorkeling while we were there as well which I couldn't have done safely with my SW2.

The screen in the Pebble Steel is the best one across all screens right now for all light conditions. Dark outside? Use the backlight and it is clear. Bright July day with direct sun? It is still perfectly visible. The SW2 can't claim that. It is fine in low light but it's next to unreadable in direct sunlight. If you have issues with the size 14 font just install a PebbleBits custom ROM with a bigger font. I'm almost 35 and I have no issue with reading the Pebble screen. Perhaps you should have your eyes checked. It'd likely make a world of difference in many things outside of just reading.

The developer community for Pebble is huge compared the SW2 community. There's an app for everything you can think of just about. There isn't even a comparison to be made here between the two, be it in number of developers or in developer support from the company. If you can't find a watch face matching what you want then what you want hasn't been invented yet.

there there's more light on the screen more readable it is

I am moving to Android Wear. I currently have a SW2 - which I am quite fond of - but I also need to wear a FitBit to track my activity. Two things on your wrist can be cumbersome. Android Wear provides both functionalities. I know that battery time will be much worse, but still... I am considering the Asus Zenwatch.
