[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paublina:
Hey guys, about two weeks ago I was wondering why my mom hadn't called (we use Hangouts) and I thought it was weird. It was only until she called my cell phone that I realized that Hangouts wasn't working at all (even though it was open in the background).

I always used to get the call sound and the notification tray flashed saying that I was getting a video call. Same thing for messages (not SMS), even if I hadn't opened Hangouts all day at all, I would still receive SMS and video call invites. I accidentally Greenified Google Voice (since you can't Greenify Hangouts) and I thought that might be the culprit, so I degreenified it, and restarted my phone. That didn't work. I also Disabled a whole bunch of useless apks (or so I thought) with NoBloat and I'm pretty sure it was around this time that Hangouts stopped working and incidentally also any alarm app that I tried to use (I have to use stock alarm now). I re-enabled all of the disabled apks, and restarted my phone once again. This also did not work.

I have also posted on the official Google Hangouts Help forum about this issue, but I'm pretty sure they're just going to tell me that Hangouts just suddenly **** itself because I'm not on 4.4 and probably because I'm rooted. I have gone back on any changes I made that might have caused this issue. Google Voice is not greenified anymore, and I don't have ANY apks disabled at all. I even turned ChatOn back on thinking that maybe that was why.

Here is a list of things that I have already done that I have found on other forums:

Clear cache of Hangouts and Google Voice

Make sure Show Notifications is checked (it is).

I have uninstalled Hangouts updates, and reinstalled them.

I have restarted my phone numerous times.

I've shut off my laptop, tablets, and desktop so it would HAVE to go through my phone. It didn't.

"Whitelisted" Google Voice and Hangouts on any application that could possibly be closing it.

I have a SG S3 SGH-T999 T-Mobile (Unlocked) with baseband version T999UVUENC2. I don't remember how exactly I rooted my phone but I just know it's rooted. I'm on 4.3 and I have been for ages. It kind of feels like, even if I physically open Hangouts it's hard for any application to recognize that's it's running in the background, and in fact, some applications don't recognize it at all even if I just opened the application.

I don't know what's wrong, does anyone have a similar problem?

[Wear OS General] marcusloke:
Since there is NO single thread in General forums solely dedicated this question to what Android Wear device you would buy and why, I took the liberty to post this thread, as most other "consolidated" threads are talking about phones in the main.

Try doing a Android wear search and you will not find a proper thread discussing what Android wear will you buy? Hence this thread

We have so many Android wear devices out there to accessorise our smartphones, that now they are gaining ludicrous amount of attention in the world.

Although the android wear market share is a paltry estimated value of US$1 billion compared to the smartphone market which is in the hundreds of billions. It still deserves attention for its massive growth in recent years.

Not ranked in any order, the more popular companies producing Android wear (including other smart watches) are as follows:-

1. Sony

2. Motorola

3. Pebble

4. Samsung

5. Meta

6. Martian

7. Garmin

8. Google

9. Apple Watch

Of course there are more but basically these are the few I have read about with above average reviews.

Choose yours!!!
[Wear OS General] ThePorter:
I already own 4. The Metawatch (Frame), a Pebble, a 1st gen Gear and the G Watch. I was waiting for the 360, but got a great deal on the G on Swappa and couldn't pass it up and I'm glad I didn't. For all the hype and circlejerking beforehand about how killer it (the 360) was going to be, the reality seems to be a huge letdown, especially in terms of battery life.

I use my Metawatch the least and probably the Pebble the most, though I am very happy for now with the G... It may become my new favorite. If the price is right, I MIGHT get the LG R around Christmas time.
[Wear OS General] king conan:
Despite the first impression rants:

It's uglyyy!!!

Rubber everywhere!!!

Another generic square android wear device!!!

Childish!!!!

_______

It you take a look about the potential and features, the most interesting smartwatch with android wear is by far, the Sony Smartwatch 3.

The first with IP68 (you can swim with it).

The first with GPS and music features independent of the phone.

The first with transflective screen for much better visibility with sunlight.

It's the first android (wear platform) smartwatch you can take anywhere without your phone for sporting activities. The design is sportive, not childish. You can sweat with it comfortably.

And the potential is because the extra features (bluetooth music and GPS tracking) will be done with sony apps at the beginning, but Google said these features will by supported natively in future versions of Android Wear.

So, be careful now, because I'm pretty sure, all the android wear watches next year will have these features and every watch in first generation will be quicky obsolete.

So my first watch in my radar is the Sony. And you may understand it in my perspective. I like sport and I have the MOTOACTV. Great concept and features, but so ugly and so terrible battery life that I only wear it when I run.

So the Sony is the first I consider to be the NEXT.
[Wear OS General] marcusloke:
I do not own any android wear devices (as in Android Wear Platform) as yet.

The only other accessory I have is a Pebble (which is not android wear platform :P)

I am however very interested in getting either an Android Wear watch or the google glass (if it becomes better)

I think the recent designs have improved by a huge margin, no matter how rectangular or squarish they look.

As for the Moto 360, it looks very good, in fact if it has a Chronograph like Bezel on it, it will definitely be a sealed deal for me. As for the dismal battery life many have reported, I am not too worried, I will switch to my Pebble :D

LG G round looks as good as well.

Except for a very small handful of Smart Watches out there, the rest looks like their hastily put together while trying to cram everything into a small device.

Just waiting to see Samsungs Rounded version and what others will come up as well.

I do not know if they do actually liaise with any big watch manufacturers, but they can do well to learn from designs from Panerai, U Boat, or those excellent looking top labelled brands. Since most of the watches they produced are BIG, goes to say you can stuff more goodies under the hood.

Of course thats my preference.

Cheerios
[Wear OS General] dlbarron:
I've got my eye on the ASUS ZenWatch, or I will when it comes out. The pictures I've seen make it look like an attractive device and the reviews have been positive.

[Wear OS General] marcusloke:
more reading up made me realise one thing

the Moto 360 is compatible with ALL QI standard wireless charging devices, WOOTZ I got a portable QI charger .. mahahaha .. maybe worth considering getting the Moto 360 then
[Wear OS General] AstroDigital:
I use my Gear Live a lot, get new feeds from Appy Geek 15 or 20 times, dozens of emails, messages, weather alerts.

For the most part 6am to 10pm is ok but I like to get a watch that can under heavy use get me from 6am to say 4am the next day.

The only watch that promises battery life is the Sony watch.

If it really has much better battery life I may buy it, but I will see.

Childish? Only people that look at watch a say Childish are childish. These watches are not cheap knock offs that we use to get for $5, yes I am not 100% happy with the way the Sony Watch looks but since I use it working out it look very functional.

I care more about battery life than looks, I think Motorola the soon to be Chinese company just does not get it.
[Wear OS General] marcusloke:
China does have some ridiculously weird and funky smart watches, some I daresay are nice, but not sure what platforms they are using.

As for battery life, I am not sure about the rest of the community, but I carry around a 8400 mAh battery pack made in China with QI standard which is still working flawlessly since last year. I hardly use the QI as the USB ports charges much faster (there is a 1amp and a 2amp port), got the QI just as a "show off" gimmick the initial few days when I showed family and friends, otherwise it is not practical to use on the move.

So for me battery life in current Smart watches is not too much of a concern, as I carry the pack around, of course my wrist does feel a little naked the few occasions my pebble is sent for charging in my bag, its nothing I can't live without
[Wear OS General] pandaface0513:
By features, i dare say the Sony SW3 will be more future proof. But if we just wait a bit, perhaps all SWs will sport the GPS and bluetooth music by Q2 2015.

Did you try contacting your Phone/service provider? If your phone is less than a year old, they are suppose to fix it for free.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
OK guys so i have done some extensive testing and i have come to the conclusion that the I/0 read and write are causing intermediate lag and stutter in all applications and games on my nexus 7, It greatly affects the smoothness of intense 3d games that otherwise should run smooth as butter on this device. So whats the deal? im on stock everything with the latest kitkat 4.4.4 and ive turned off google currents and trimmed and everything that i can think of, so do i just take my nexus 7 back to staples? is there no way to solve the loading lag? let me further explain my testing on this issue, OK so take for example the game "sonic dash" the game starts out smooth but when something like an enemy or tree "pops" on the screen the entire game lags and stutters until that texture is loaded, it also happens on dead trigger when moving from room to room thus further proving it is an I/0 read issue from the nexus 7's internal SSD. So can any of you shed some light on this and post some solutions?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post.ratz:
My M8 was working fine a week back. Then suddenly I started noticing that my camera capture images in a diffuse glow/angelic glow mode. Whites become bright and look grainy. I can see that on my phone screen itself. The sharpness seems to have gone. The ISO is set to Auto, in fact all the settings are in Auto. Did not happen before.

What's wrong with the camera? The camera lens is clean too.

There is an OTA update available too. I thought updating may solve the issue, but everytime i try to install it says "downloading unsuccessful" "the download package is corrupt"

All you pretty and genius people out there, a noob needs help. :(

My phone is completely stock. Did not root or anything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorror:
Check your camera lenses if there are any scratches on it. It means the lenses coating is coming off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post.ratz:
Too many minute scratches/ hope it's the coating

Now that you mention it, yes there is. Quite a whole lot. I use Dot view case, it has some height, I wonder how they still got scratched.

I read about the solution for this, it says the coating gets scratched quite easily, use of toothpaste or any other method mentioned will remove the coating and the camera will get to it's original state.

I am skeptical about doing that. If i remove the coating, won't it be really scary if the original lens also gets scratched?

What do I do?

Thank you in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardozclive:
Same is happening with me. Pictures started looking grainy. I tried the toothpaste method but it didn't help. Now I regret why the hell did I spend so much to get such a crapy phone. My phone is always covered in Unicorn beetle case. Still the camera lens seems to be hell lot scratched.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post.ratz:
Worked

I think you should give it a try. The toothpaste method.

Take a Q tip and rub the toothpaste on it. Have patience, so it for good 5-8 minutes and make sure you are applying good amount of pressure.

Then you could do the same using Surgical Spirit instead of toothpaste for another good 5 minutes. That should do it.

Hi all, I have a rooted htc m7 who I'd like to give to my niece however it's a bit problematic at the moment:

Whenever it runs out of battery or is turned off for some reason it needs to be turned on into bootloader mode and then restarted, it won't start otherwise.

Since I rooted it and am running a different bootloader, I assume that is the cause and would therefore like to un-root it and return it to how it was before I started fidgeting with it.

you can also just flash this RUU and the phone will be Stock but relocked

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe

to relock the bootloader to run the RUU

use fastboot in command prompt

with the phone in the bootloader screen (power + volume down)

bootlooder in fastboot USB (this happens when you hook up the phone to the PC)

now from command prompt use

fastboot oem lock

your now ready to run the RUU on the PC and the phone will be back to stock
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Blueraydude:
This has probably been asked a billion times, but I'm sick of Sprint blocking tethering on my phone. I've had the phone since October, and I really miss tethering, which has worked on my previous Android phones flawlessly.

Has anyone EVER at any point gotten WiFi tethering to work with their Sprint HTC One M7?

I've tried a bunch of apps, and absolutely nothing has ever worked. I'd even be happy with USB tethering, if it worked.

Are there any proven methods, app, mod/zip or otherwise? I don't want to install a different rom, but I would consider updating OTA, if it doesn't kill my root and custom recovery.

BTW I'm running 3.05.651.6 (Stock 4.3 S-ON)

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MFOsaka:
You're probably going to have to install another ROM as getting anything of that ilk to work on stock is slim.

Were you trying to stay on that particular firmware with Sense 5? There is a ROM that I used for quite some time and it worked. It will require a firmware update (which you can do without having to relock to do). Here.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] frijoles:
Long story short, broke my Sprint M8, luckily the phone hasn't been out for 6 months, HTC overnighted me a new one, and lo and behold, when going into the settings to update my profile/etc to get the phone working, the Harmon Kardon software is installed.

I had a day 1 M8 that I purchased direct from Sprint immediately after the M8 announcement, so this was an awesome surprise. Works great over bluetooth'd audio, like the old beats software did on the M7.

Thanks HTC!
