[Moto 360] AvRS:
I got home last night and went on to the live stream site only to be told my browser is incompatible.....talk about locking down your audience as it's only available on Safari on Apple devices! Why would you stop the majority of PC users with Apple being a minority here. Anyway I scrolled through their blog and it was all the same and what you come to expect from them, yet another comparison to previous models but clearly they've run out of twice as fast as last year so now moved to 50x faster than the original iPhone!!!! WOW!! Seriously throwing out x times faster and x% better with no substance to those figures is why Apple have always disappointed me. I'm a data analyst by profession so if you don't have substance to your facts you basically are talking rubbish and have made them numbers up. Oh and a graph with no reference points except for some dots with model numbers, I can easily do the same thing for nexus phones and stick a 200x at the top. It has no meaning but it is pure marketing that people will buy thanks to the strength of brand.

Anyway onto the Apple Watch.....reminded me of an old Casio watch.....that was the first thing that came to mind. That digital crown looks like a poorly thought out navigation tool to be their USP (unique selling point for those not up with the lingo ;)). Seriously I'd buy a smartwatch to have the ability to swipe and touch, making everything available at the tap of a screen. Android Wear definitely looks like the easier interface to use. Last thing I want is to have to zoom into my app drawer then swipe around the screen before making a selection. Anyway Diddy and other celebrities love it at least according to their repeated tweets they displayed in their blog. It's all about how you sell something, not what it does. When the 360 comes to the UK next month I'll still be buying it and only reason I won't keep it is if it's too big for my skinny arse wrists. Oh that's a point, the A Watch has got that in it's sales repertoire, that it's available in 2 sizes so pat on the back for them doing that while everything else is just meh!

Rant over!
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Did you folks bashing this thing actually watch the keynote? Superior fit and finish to anything I have seen to date. The band system (and the bands) are awesome. My 360 band kinda sucks in comparison, from both a comfort and convenience standpoint. While I am not thrilled with the form factor, the design is really neat. Wished the Moto had sapphire as I know the GG is gonna get nicked sooner or later.

This watch appears to have much more standalone functionality than Android Wear... but Wear is new, and in Google's typically half finished fashion, so we will see what it becomes by the time the Apple watch ships.

Don't get me wrong, I like my Moto 360. I have it doing most of what I want, with the exception of being able to reply to AquaMail (hopefully that's coming), but the non-voice interface is inconvenient at best, and the voice is pretty much useless if you are around people that are talking. Android Wear needs to address this IMHO, and make more convenient the non-voice access to the info a particular user may use most often. It's a little ironic that the Apple watch seems more customizable this way.
[Moto 360] timmy16744:
You can use any 22mm watch band with the 360, not sure if you knew this or not. But this by far better than propriety band system apple has implemented.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Couldn't disagree more. Have you seen the bands, and how easily they are replaced/changed? How often are you gonna change the band on the 360 (I can't even see the pins, let alone get at them). Still haven't seen anyone do it... and there is noise about just any metal band affecting the antennae.

Apple did this right. And because of it, they're not only gonna sell a lot of watches, they're gonna sell a lot of bands!
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
Yes, I watched it; it's part of my job to do so. The watch itself looks childish and Mickey Mouse, with a clumsy to downright awful user interface that shows Apple simply doesn't "get" what people will be using these things for. The OS looks 50% direct Android Wear copy, 50% attempts to shoehorn stuff that should never be on a microscopic screen into a watch. And no mention of battery life at all -- that should tell you it will be at best average, and at worst shocking.

As for the straps, no thanks. Why does Apple have to try and reinvent the wheel every single time? Oh, wait. I know why. Because then they can charge you a ridiculous premium for their proprietary junk. My wife goes through new Lightning cables for her iPhone at staggering speed, and for the price of just one third-party Lightning cable (the cheapest we could find that was of reasonable quality), I could've bought a dozen or more high quality cables for my Android gear. Get ready for the same thing with the dodgy, proprietary watch straps.

There is precisely one feature from the Apple Watch that's worth having: Sapphire Glass. That's very worthwhile, but you're paying US$100 extra to get it on a watch that is in every other respect measurably worse than the competition.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

Coudn't disagree more. If you still haven't seen anyone replacing the Moto 360 band, you haven't been looking, because loads of people have as documented right here in this very forum. It takes seconds, and is child's play. Selecting a replacement strap that fits is slightly more time-consuming, but that's because it's a brand-new device and strap makers haven't had time to do the work for you yet.

Also, RF issues from metal straps will affect any watch with built-in antennas. The same will be just as true of the Crapple Watch. But guess what? Your selection of straps will be tiny compared to any watch using standard straps, for which you'll have tens of thousands of choices on day one. And why? Because of the dodgy, proprietary attachment mechanism which you can be damned sure that Apple will use to prevent third-parties from providing straps without paying a licensing fee. (At least, in markets outside of Asia.)

Apple did this how Apple always does this. Take the same tech everybody else has, hype it a whole bunch, try and make it glossier, and then make it proprietary and walled-garden in every possible respect so they can suck dollars out of you at fantastic speed.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Link please... even better, a YT vid.

As for dodgey and proprietary, proprietary yes. But I don't mind paying for something that works slicker than the next guy's. But dodgey??? I find the bands they showed to be very nice.

As always, I just don't get the hate. I have no problems admitting when one product does it better than the other. I am happy Apple has found ways to ensure their success, as I am with Google; they just go about it two different ways. And frankly, I am not sure which one is more evil than the other. Both make great stuff, and both have pis*ed me off.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
I actually really like the way the straps attach to the Apple watch. I don't know if I'd compare them, you can't underestimate the simplicity of your average consumer. Is a soccer mom going to actually buy a spring tool, or sit there with a jewelers screwdriver and finagle that spring off, ensuring it doesn't bounce out and get lost? Where with the apple watch you just press a button and slip it out. I'm not a fan, I think the apple watch is fugly as hell, but the strap system is interesting and novel.
[Moto 360] melcali:
Apple still has jony but he has the wrong person pushing his skills. I bet they have better concepts floating around his lab and one day he will admit he was not happy with this design
[Moto 360] henrykazuka:
I'm a huge supporter of the idea of the smartwatch, but it needs to have more than one day of battery life. Until then I don't see it worthy of being called a watch.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Since a smart watch is tethered to your phone, I am okay with it lasting as long as the phone does. This seems to be the case with my Moto X and 360.
[Moto 360] abuttino:
It just amazes me every time I hear these Apple fans talking.

Do you think a company like Google is going to let wearable tech fail?

Other than every slanted journalist comparing the Wear watches to vapor-ware..

The fact is! Both of these companies are going to be around for a while. This wearable tech isn't going away.

As I've noticed in politics, people sway in different ways. That is going to happen when people realize that Apple hasn't innovated anything in years. Look at iOS.

So Verge, Gizmodo, everyone that keeps talking about the iWatch, give it a break. You are all sacrificing your journalistic integrity.
[Moto 360] Tower1972:
Yes and no. Yes you can use a 22mm band, but make sure that in the middle of the band that connects to the watch, there is a gap or a U cut of of the middle. Motorola seen it fit to put 2 little pieces of plastic there and the band will not fit unless there is that portion cut of of the band in the middle. I was just at Kohls and wanted a new band, and after the lady tried for 10 min to put it on, I looked at it and seen the plastic nubs preventing it from being installed.

I went with the black steel band made for the Pebble, 19.99 at Best Buy and fits like a charm
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
How often does this hypothetical soccer mom change straps? And why can she not have it changed for her at the store, if it's so difficult? (And it isn't -- it takes a few seconds with a pair of tweezers.)
[Moto 360] neilspenta:
I think the idea is that you switch it out to go to the gym (rubber strap), and can put on a metal link bracelet for the club.

I feel weird wearing my moto 360 leather to the gym cos I sweat a lot.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
For myself I think I would change straps a lot, maybe even daily. Sports strap for the gym, metal or leather strap for work, and maybe even a funky strap to go party. Its just kind of neat to pop a button and you have a new strap. Once again I still think the apple watch is fugly, but I do think the quick detach strap is a very nice innovation.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Knox doesn't seem to understand behavior outside of his own. Many will want to do this, and currently do it now with more than one watch. Having one watch with multiple, easily swapped out bands is clever.
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
Prediction: Less than one in ten will actually do this. Probably far less.
[Moto 360] neilspenta:
That may be,

But having discussed it with my mum, (as a 25 year old techie talking to a 63 year old anti-tech person) this seemed like a logical approach.

Use a nice band for special occasions and a durable cheaper band for everyday use.

If it is really as easy as the video showed to change bands, I don't see this being too far from reality for most people.
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
And I predict the few who buy extra straps will settle on one they like, and leave the remainder sitting forgotten in a drawer.

The folks who change straps regularly will predominantly be teen and tweenagers who can't even come close to affording $350 for a watch, for the most part.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
I predict the opposite. Sports band for the gym, walking around town, recreational days. Leather or metal strap for wearing nice clothes and going to work, family functions, weddings, etc. Something more outstated possibly for going out on the town. Even within those categories you can switch, one day I might like to wear a leather band to work, the next day I may opt for metal, I may change colors, change styles, etc.

I'm sure Apple makes a ton of money off accessories for its products, people go crazy dressing up all their Apple gear like dressing up a Chihuahua. Watch bands will be a hit IMO, not just Apple but also 3rd party accessory makers.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Well, I have reconsidered my minor disappointment, and think I will be returning my Moto 360. I was expecting something a bit more out of both its appearance and functionality. I thought it would make driving and biking more convenient, but my assessment is that it is simply more convenient to talk to my Moto X.

While it does offer a more convenient way to check my notifications during other activities than having to pull my phone from pocket, it simply doesn't offer enough functionality to justify its existence.<br/>
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
We'll see who's right -- check back in about 18 months. (6 months for Apple to get around to releasing the thing, six months for people to get over the initial fake "limited" availability, get past the newness, and start treating it as a real thing, then six months for the actual data to form.

I'm confident I'll be right.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
I'm not right or wrong, I'm just discussing interesting topics on an online forum.
[Moto 360] opasha:
I've changed my pebble watch strap before a few times between 4 different bands (orange silicone diver, navy silicone diver, original pebble black silicone, and a black mesh), but the watch was not elegant enough to pull off a metal band for me.

I ordered the SHANK black rubber band (http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Tracy-Brand-shank010-SHANK/dp/B00KIWVCAC/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t): http://vimeo.com/94303278 for every day use (gym/running/leisure) and the pebble steel silver band for going out/work. For me 2 seems to do the job. I was considering the clockwork synergy ones because they looked really nice on the pebble steel:

I went to toggle WiFi on and accidentally changed the toggle to wifiAP.

I can't change it back. Probably because I don't know how I changed it from Wi-Fi to wifiAP.

Any help? AOSPA 4.3
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott@ASUS:
Hello,

You might get a faster answer by posting this question in the thread of the ROM that you are running.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilzard:
That may be true however the method should be the same between all aosp Roms. I just need to know how to toggle it back. They have a little box on the top right of the toggle so you can see which one is active. All of them are left box except the wifiAP one. Should be simple to change it back, maybe.

Edit: got it. Have to touch the little box in the toggle specifically. Hard to do with toe thumbs

If i found some one i will surely report without any PM.

There is some hidden things inside the Updater script , ( Adding Stock Kernel In ZIP) and also inside some apps. So no one can cheat me. ;)

Please don't mistake me. Its my Weeks of hard work without any REST.. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks and Regards :good:

Anyone came from stock 4.4.4 to this rom and feel any difference??

My device gets hot when playing games, like 50c-55c and i can't seem to find any solution so mbe a custom rom to tweak the cpu clocks would solve the problem.. But in any case i want to know the overall difference between this rom (locked/unlocked bootloader) and the stock firmware. Thx in advance

Thanks for the hint [MENTION=5903312]Borias[/MENTION]. I installed the advanced stock kernel as I have an unlocked bootloader. Installing KK26 custom kernel fixed the issue.

Somethings i have noticed:

1. No logo at notification bar when NFC is enabled

2. No logo at notification bar when Locations is enabled
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr..X:
maybe the kernel issue,i am on stock rom and there is no problem with the navbar when either of them is turned on...

b/w can you clear the cache and dalvik cache and take a reboot and check once again...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Thanks bro. I will add it to OP soon with credit.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Arrowblue:
Gps logo is enabled and working fine for me.
[Xperia Z Android Development] schadow1:
Still no logo after a cache and dalvik cache clear. If that's the case, xzkk v26 custom kernel may not work correctly for this room worse for the advanced custom kernel indicated here for unlocked bootloader.

Anyone can confirm? A fix? Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr..X:
why do you need non stock kernel?

if not much you can always flash kernel from this zip just extract the boot.img and flash it via flashtool.

#steps

1.click fastboot mode

2.then flash kernel

3.then select kernel(remember to connect phone before the steps,you connect to fastboot mode with volume up while connecting usb)

if you relock(ta partion required[to get wararnty back],one more method but i don't remember) you get drm keys + bravia engine back

edit:if you want to be on unlocked bootloader then also you can use stock kernel..

Hi Rajeev...

Once again thanks for pureX Rom.. this is the first time, i have installed your rom with no error at nstallation process, previously with error. :D

Thanks button already click..

On my Z, there is and something wrong, like my xperia home not alphabetical. :confused: just one apps that not alphabetical.

and when i try to install chat app (B*M) from playstore, installing successfullly but when i opened it's give me error and force close.

I've try to wipe cache and dalvik cache once again, but not resolve that problem.
