[Moto 360] olc:
Thanks.. Do you know for a fact that this is intended behavior? Has Motorola explained anywhere how this is intended to work? It is different from ever other android wear device.
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
I would say this is definately the intended behavior. My guess is that in order to get the 12 hours they had to do this. Its kind of like a V8 sports car that wont pass minimum MPG and the manufacturer was required to install a "shift skip" essentially locking you out of 2nd and 3rd gear while putting around town to get that minimun MPG.
[Moto 360] 2k4ever:
thanks Phlip00ws6!

could you tell us why part of the watch display looks gray in the 3 OFF photos?

Seems too regular for camera flash or other light sources / reflections and if the screen really is off, it shouldnd interfere with the camera

maybe there really is a bug?
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
That's just the reflection of my wall. lol sorry about that. It's completely off.
[Moto 360] 2k4ever:
thanks for the clarification, seemed too regular to be a reflection, but was hard to tell in the small pictures
[Moto 360] Tung_meister:
I don't have one yet so I may be wrong about this but wouldn't it make much more sense for the the light sensor to adjust the screen brightness whenever you flick your wrist or tap the screen to wake it up? This would surely improve the battery life, especially if you're in a dim environment for an extended period of time.
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.. Are you referencing while ambient mode is on or off?

In either case, when you move your wrist up as you would with any other watch, the screen turns fully on and its bightness is adjusted via the light sensor. The only difference ambient mode makes is that when the watch is visible to the user, it is on but dimmed. Any other time e.g the watch is facing away from you, then the screen is off.
[Moto 360] Tung_meister:
Oh, from what I'd read I was under the impression that the backlight level wasn't always adjusted by the light sensor. If it is then great.
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
Technically it's not always updated. There seems to be 3 different "modes" to the watch face - on, off, and ambient mode. It's kind of hard to explain, but while the screen is in ambient mode it has one setting.. dim. But it still reacts to that "looking at my watch now" movement, turns the screen to fully on (second hand begins to move, notifications are displayed), and then the light sensor will adjust accordingly. So if the watch is laying flat on a table outside in bright sunlight the screen will be on but you wont be able to see it.

So in summary, no it doesnt respond to light while in ambient mode. Which does seem to contradict the point of it being so accurate at knowing when the watch face is visible. I could see if the face always stayed on regardless, then maybe the sensor shouldn't adjust it because theres no reason for the brightness to be all the way up if you're not looking at it.
[Moto 360] cloakster:
Its so weird what they have done with the brightness settings in Android Wear. There is a reason we are using Android devices vs iOS devices. The openness of the software and the customizations that come along with it. We need to have the choice of how we want our device setup.

I personally would like to have my watch screen on all the time on full brightness. Why is there no option for this? On my G Watch, im constantly having to turn my wrist further towards myself than i normally would or tap the screen to get it bright enough where i can see it properly. Due to this i'm probably going to hold off on my 360 purchase until its fixed.
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
Patience.. let the devs do what they do. Wear is open source, just like all Android OS's - This is why we are using Android devices vs iOS devices. :cool:
[Moto 360] avetny:
Thank you. Now I understand how it work's
[Moto 360] audiophil:
My 360 is dead when it comes to ambient mode or waking up to wrist movement/orientation changes.

This happened after some weeks of no wear, clearly something going on here as there's several reports of this around forums.

Factory reset a few times, so suspect hardware or software version issue (5.0.1).
[Moto 360] 1001000100100101010010101:
This is intended, not a bug. I talked to a Moto rep online. When the watch is held upright, the display is bright, when it is somewhere near a 45 degree angle, it goes in a dimmed state, and when lower than that, it's off. The reason for this is that the 360 has a small battery, and no OLED display (I wish it were that way...). So it needs to conserve as much power as it can. The watch detects that when you drop your arm away from your view, you don't wanna interact with it so it just switches off the display...
[Moto 360] IINexusII:
if you use ambient mode then turn of the tilt to wake from the android wear app on the phone. this way the device wont fully turn on when you look at it

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_cr0w:
Hi guys, this is my first post... I'm pretty new with flashing, and seems like even our 2010 phone has a sea of ROMs. I don't know how to choose a ROM, and I cannot find people that know how to help me, so...i'm writing here :cowboy:

Actually i'm running Andromadus Slim Bean, i've tried sense minima (laggy and buggy), cyankat (a lil' slow, but may be caused of what i've installed), PureKat ('till 2.0 -beta 1, because it was way TOO buggy -i'm waiting the 4.0-).

This is my main device, and I use it everyday. I don't need the best looking rom, just the best compromise beetween stability and speed (the speed has priority), and I don't know what to pick.

So yeah, i'm asking you a suggestion, hoping this doesn't violates the rules. Thank you c:

--I'm sorry for my grammar, i'm Italian :cowboy: --
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Hey, glad to see you trying a out first, this is the way to do it! Unfortunately best ROM threads are against the rules here at xda so I will point you to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348266

Here you will find all the options for this phone organized by android version and color coded by base type

If you want pure stability I would say gingerbread for this phone will always be best but you will find plenty of newer ROMs that run great too

I put together cyan mobile for this phone and maybe I'm biased but it is about as stable, fast, and feature rich as gingerbread goes with great battery life. aint the prettiest though! You'll find it in the GB section, second link

Hope you find something you like!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ligerblue:
ive been out of the loop for some time now and finally looking to root my gs3

are the steps still mostly the same and are there any roms still updated?

i am on nd8 android 4.4.2.

All i am really looking for is good batt life ability[ to customize menus and wifi tether

any suggestions greatly appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I would recommend Wicked X 8.0 and Tribute rom and most of the AOSP roms are always being updated

root: there are several methods to root; first and mostly recommended flash Philz recovery for the D2Lte in Odin just make sure your on the latest one then

root your stock rom with the option under Philz settings called Re-root(SuperSU)

or you can use any recovery and flash the SuperSU zip from Chain fire or you can just use TowelRoot for the actual rooting process then download SuperSU and BusyBox from the PlayStore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Battery life is dependent on your setup/phone/signal/kernel settings/sync/preferences and will be mostly the same between stock based to stock based and from AOSP to AOSP types. It is best to look through the recent threads in the 2 development sections and find which features are most attractive to you. Rooting methods are in the General section.

You are in good shape as you have already upgraded to ND8 with firmware and modem. It seems there are issues trying to run ND8 ROMs on phones that have not upgraded already so your choices are mostly wide open.

Happy Flashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
I've been trying out numerous ROMs this past week or two, because I was having terrible battery life as well.

I have tried WickedX, Tribute ROM, Conquest: SIngularity, CM11, SlimKat, BeanStalk, Spirit ROM, LiquidSMooth, Quantam and MIUI.

The ones I liked the best were Tribute ROM, and MIUI, they both gave me better battery life, and after tweaking the settings and stuff it was even better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ligerblue:
Thanks for the responses, haven't had a chance to go through with the rooting process but should be able to over the weekend.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] DjRashonal:
Has anyone found a good off brand cover that uses the two holes on the back of the 8.4 Tab S? I wanted to buy the Samsung Simple cover but cant find the bronze one in any stores by me. I just want a case that covers the screen, not really one that has an additional frame or wraps around more than it needs to. Any options?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] kenkiller:
Nope. Looks like actually using those 2 holes seems proprietary to Samsung cases.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] DAvid_B:
The stock Samsung covers have steel plates the buttons are screwed into. Off brand companies just want to injection mold whatever they sell. Way cheaper.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] facemymusic:
I've been looking for a case that snaps into the holes in the back too, but haven't found anything. Makes sense that they're probably more expensive to produce.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] bangkokhound:
I ordered this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/33131590249...49&var=540510730442&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It'll be weeks before I see it though.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] ajed:
I got the 10.5 version and it does fit in the holes. I don't have the official version to compare it to. It does the job, just suffers from some cheap stitching. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Well-.../231315082199?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:GB:3160
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] bangkokhound:
I got my case for the 8.4 today. It looks good and it feels really nice. But the magnet (for smart wake/sleep) is too strong. I mainly read from my tablet so I fold the cover back and hold it like a book. But when I do this, it often shuts off. When I hold it with the cover folded back it will go on and off if I shift it the right way. So it is totally useless for me. If I were to use it as a stand, I think it would be fine though. I guess I'll go back to my Rock case.

Edit: I'm a dum-dum. I wasn't doing it correctly. You have to fold the flap all the way back (which I wasn't) before folding the cover back. That way there is a gap between the magnet and the tablet and no unwanted sleep/wake. And it feels really nice holding while reading. I think I'll order another one. I want to try the electric blue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Columbiana:
Hello,

After trying a lot of things and search for half of the day my last chance is now to ask one of you guys for help, please.

Problem:

After I have tried to encrypt the internal storage of my LG G2 via the the previous installed Cyanogenmod 11 this attempt resulted into an error and it has told to me that I should reset to factory stock. This has been worked out as the needed directories havent been found via TWRP recovery. So I have tried to do a hard factory reset as well as a a following format of the internal storage from recovery which brings me now to the boot screen with the LG logo. Not going any further. Not possible to turn the phone off anymore. But I am still able to access the TWRP recovery menu. But as the internal storage has been formated its longer possible to boot up into any ROM.

I am also not able to restore via LG Flash tool, as it is not going any further in download mode.

So I would need help with my last thought of a solution: Pushing a custom (or stock rom) ZIP file via ADP in TWRP to the internal storage, so that I can flash this one again as new operation system. Could someone please give me a precise step to step guide for the ADP slide method as I am unfortunately not good regarding any development tools.

Other methods are more than welcome as well, to re-flash stock or a custom rom to the system, without having access to it in any other way than TWRP.

Mac and Windows operation system is available on a computer. USB driver installed. stock rom kdz file downloaded. But I am not able to move forward. So please help.

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Follow this guide and adb push a Rom to your sd. It must be a zip, not a kdz, place it in your root drive like C:\ and don't forget that adb is case sensitive.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Columbiana:
Hello,

Thanks for this guide which is really easy to use and I would say my ADB on windows are now ready to push. Unfortunately the ADB are not discovering my devices useing TWRP on it, as the sidemode is not starting up. When I am in TWRP recovery and tapping advanced, tapping adb sidemode it shows me that it would start, but it never tells me that it is started.

Is there any other "entrace" to my devices where I could push a new rom zip file onto it without this TWRP adb sidemode? Or can I reinstall TWRP in any way to "repair" the sidemode feature?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Don't worry too much about sideload just write adb push C:\ROM name /sdcard/ and then just locate it in twrp

If you are sideloading you need to use the adb sideload /path/to/Rom.zip command
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RenfordReject:
Hello there! I've searched for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find anything. Similar threads were in this part of the forum, so I hope I've posted this in the right area.

I'm trying to upload a video that I've recorded using Snapchat as a story without rooting my HTC One. The video was recorded on the app, downloaded, and then sent as a one-time view video rather than added as a story at the time. This means the video resolution should be fine and that it doesn't need to be trimmed. I've had success sending the video again by:

- Recording a sample Snapchat video

- Using the Task Manager to swap to File Explorer

- Pasting my video into Snapchat's my_media folder

- Replacing the name of my video with the exact title of the sample video (including nomedia file extension)

However, when I try the same method for posting a story it shows my video on the app, but then says that it can't set the video as a Snapchat.

There's clearly something else that needs to be altered. There are sometimes sesrh_dlw prefixed files in the my_media folder with .mp4.nomedia extensions, but they can't be viewed as videos.

Does Snapchat take a note of the length and file size of the video and check whether it correlates when you try upload it as a story? And if so, why doesn't it do this when you send it as a one-time view video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliel ufabc:
it's very easy

You need to delete all the contents of the folder (mp4.nomedia and jpg.nomedia ).

Turn off the network and send a video to your history. Will be creat an file in the folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/my_media/). This is your history. Copy the new video to this folder and rename with the history's name.

Turn on the network and resend the history.

P.S. I don't speak English
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RenfordReject:
Does that work for the Snapchat story? I know it works for when you send videos individually to people in your contacts but couldn't find a way to upload a video for everyone to see as a 'story'.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Yes, I've read the post that you're referring to.

In Androidforums I've found following instructions that unfortunately don't work for me:

Here is how you do it:

Open the Phone Screen and Type the following code:

* # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *

The phone will automatically take you to a screen called:

SERVICE MODE

AND YOU WILL SEE THESE OPTIONS:

----------------------

[1] DEBUG SCREEN

[2] VERSION INFO

[3] UMTS RF NV

[4] GSM RF NV

[5] AUDIO

[6] COMMON

----------------------

all these options are written very very small so you will have to touch the screen very accurately to get the right one... so select them in the following order:

[1] Debug Screen

+

[8] Phone Control

+

[7] Network Control

+

[2] Band Selection

Once you Tap on "Band Selection" you will have a screen stating these 4 Options:

-------------------------

= BAND SELECTION =

[1] Automatic

[*]

[2] WCDMA Band []

[3] GSM Band []

[4] Combi Bands []

-------------------------

The Asterisk ' * ' indicates what option has been chosen, in this case the selection is on "AUTOMATIC" which is correct: the Phone will pick the best Network to work, we just have to make sure that the Phone is searching in all the Possible Networks because by Default some of them are Disabled.

So Tap on:

[2] WCDMA Band []

and on the screen you will see appearing the following Options:

----------------------------------

= WCDMA BAND =

[1] WCDMA ALL []

[2] WCDMA 2100(FDD I)

[*]

[3] WCDMA 1900(FDD II)

[*]

[4] WCDMA 900(FDD VIII)

[*]

[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) []

-----------------------------------

In my case, since the Telephone comes from Europe, the 850 Band is not enabled and you can tell that by the fact that it doesn't have the ' * ' beside it.

JUST TAP ON

[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)[]

the phone in about a second will tell you that the Option has been Enabled.

This is what in looking for my Galaxy SM-G906K.

Can this be done?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botwa2000:
Thanks, really great help.

I was able to follow from UE/system settings to a menu 'LTE band on/off'. The options were bands B2/4/5/12/28.

But when I click on any of them I don't actually get an option to enable or disable those.

Would you know why and what is this option for?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botwa2000:
Hi, actually I used the following options:

[2] UE Setting & Info - [1] Setting - [2] System - [9] Next Page - [7] LTE band on/off

I see what you are saying that I cannot enable further frequencies. Thanks for your time.

I will keep looking if a modem modification is possible.

I like the specs of the gadget and will be using 3G until I find a solution. The download speed is not bad at all and Vodafone gives good coverage in Germany.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rued64:
Can one of the 850MHz bands reach band 20 or part of it?

Hi there,

I'm going to buy a SM-G906 too (since the note 4 has unexpectedly emerged as 'non-water-proof'). Can you share some information on where you ordered yours and what LTE bands it has, please.

I found several different offers, some featuring just two LTE bands, some four, some five. But for all, I found so far, band 20 [MENTION=4339643]800mhz[/MENTION] is missing. Anyhow, there is an interesting statement in one of the ebay offers: It shall support LTE of three of four German carriers (Telekom, Vodafone, E-Plus) but not O2:

---> Sorry, had to remove link due to less than 10 posts; PN please, if interested <---

I found that the frequenciey range of O2 is at the lowest frequencies of all of the four German carriers:

---> Sorry, had to remove link due to less than 10 posts; PN please, if interested <---

Is it possible that the SM-G906's 850MHz band (whichever number it is: 5, 19, 26) reaches down to all those providers, but not far enough for O2?

Can you verify or deny that?

If so, I'm the luck one, choosing Telekom :)

Have fun with lots of 'water-proof' memory... :p
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
I'm not sure which code is right for you but you can try these codes:

- Service Main Menu: *#27663368378#

- Band selection: *#2263#

If these codes do not work on the phone dialer, install Shortcut Master app, open the menu 'Secret Code Explorer' to launch the code.

LTE band ranges

Hi fffft,

what is the source, where you wit from? There might be several variants of the korean SM-G906S concerning LTE bands and what you cite even differs from that. So far, I found:

2600/2100/1800/850 (Ebay GE, Seller: supercosmos; Samsung korean users manual (just fishing in the non-korean characters))

2600/2100/1800/850/700 (Ebay GE, Seller: gnestore; Samsung korean website)

1800/850 (Amazon US, Seller: YekiTek)

The above mentioned korean users manual states frequency ranges as follows:

TX: 2500-2540 / 1920-1940 / 1715-1785 / 824-849

RX: 2620-2660 / 2110-2130 / 1810-1880 / 869-894

Due these ranges, TX is TX of the carrier (Download) and RX is RX of the carrier (Upload).

Comparing this with the four German carriers would mean:

- 800MHz: No chance at all in Germany

- 2600MHz: Telekom and Vodafone only
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botwa2000:
I also found the following in a different thread and it worked for me. I was looking exactly for this though of course didn't find B20 in the list of available bands (quote by miscom):

Do this at your own risk

Open the dial pad

Type: *#0011# to enter Service Mode (Be very careful with what you do here)

Note: You need to be rooted for this to work

Once in Service Mode, do the following:

Tap the menu button and tap Back

Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter an upper case Q and press OK

Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter 4 zeroes (0000) and press OK

Wait from 5 to 15 seconds. You'll see the Main Menu

Choose option [2]: UE SETTING & INFO

Choose option [1]: SETTING

Choose option [1]: PROTOCOL

Choose option [2]: NAS

Choose option [1]: NETWORK CONTROL

Choose option [4]: BAND SELECTION

Choose option [4]: LTE Band Preference

Choose option [7]: LTE ALL (Or you can choose band 17 instead)

Tap the menu button and choose Back (Don't press the back key)

Tap again the menu button and choose Back

Choose option [6]: LTE/WCDMA Mode Only

Press the back key to exit

And that's it: You now have LTE and calls if using AT&T. This won't work with TMobile.

Hi,

Bought mine at ebay from GNE store.

It supports LTE bands 1/3/7/8/17 but no band B20 of 800mhz.

The statement that you wrote quote is only partially correct as, say, Vodafone Germany operates mostly on LTE B20. In Frankfurt the supported band B7 is not widely spread.

There seems to be a good guidance around on how to flash NA to support t-mobile USA on Galaxy S4 however not yet B20 support for SM-G906:mad:

No need to enable the HiddenMenu to launch secret codes. You can use the app that I've mentioned here to launch the secret codes.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

If you want to change band frequency, you may need to flash another baseband.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botwa2000:
That's exactly what I'm looking for, so far to no avail.

If anyone can tell how to flash a new modem NV configuration to support B20 [MENTION=667179]800[/MENTION] mhz that'd be terrific, happy to be a guinea pig
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
I'm not familiar with B20 800 MHz, and don't know which devices support that frequency.

But if you know what device supports that frequency, you can download the firmware for that device, extract the baseband files and flash for your phone using the Odin.
