[Moto 360] AJerman:
Yeah, I completely disagree as well. I wonder what most people are looking for out of a smartwatch. I like the notifications and the actual watch part. There isn't a whole lot more than I want to do with it. Some quick access apps will be nice in time as they are built, but watching the Apple presentation makes it looks like their watch does almost as much as their phone, and doesn't do it very well. Instead of the Apple of old in the Jobs era where they'd come out with less features for a good clean platform to start and add more with time, they've piled very feature they could into an ugly package, with a very poor UI.

Don't get me wrong, I love that Apple came out with their watch. I love that it does all of this, but only to help fuel the competition. It's hard to say which is "better". It's fairly clear the Apple Watch does "more", but I think it does so in a very poor manner. The launcher, the silly digital crown, the pointless "features" like drawing on a tiny screen on your wrist. More isn't always better. There's a reason why they didn't talk about battery life. You know if it was worth talking about, they would have. Maybe smartwatches can evolve into more powerful devices, but they need to evolve there as we learn better ways to design the hardware AND software of a unique device, rather than try to stuff it all into a first gen device. I think the next version of the Apple Watch will be toned down quite a bit and will be much cleaner and more usable, but it marks an interesting change as Apple's first big "new" product since Jobs left and it shows a new attitude in the company where absolute refinement is no longer forefront.

For now, I'm perfectly happy for a nice clean and minimal design that tells me the time and gives me notifications. While I do wish for some changes, fixes, updates, and all that, a new version of Wear will be coming soon and I'm good with what I've got until then. This is a very much polarized topic as it applies not only to technology choice but fashion choice as well, and with the fashion sense of most of the "smartwatch type" people I know, it should be entertaining to say the least.
[Moto 360] gorillaz1:
I just don't get how anyone can say "The Apple watch is better". That would have been like saying in May that the Moto360 is better than the Samsung Gear watch.

You can't, because it was unfinished and we had very little information at that point.

No one knows anything real about the Apple watch. It could be great, it could be a total dud.

The only real things we know is it only works with current generation Apple phones and that it will cost at a minimum $350.

More power to you if you want it, but don't pretend like you know anything about it.
[Moto 360] furiousgtz:
I agree with you. My main reason for buying this watch is to look at my notifications, quick replies, and the minimal design.
[Moto 360] Ozark_8125:
+1 - not sure the point of the 'returned' threads are... it's like, surprise, the reviews were right and you were hoping they were wrong. :confused:

In addition to the notifications & replies - I love the 'remote' functions where I can accept / reject calls and control basic podcasting functions without futzing with the phone directly at the gym or while driving around. First day the battery died because I was chimping the watch so much, but every other day it's been 30-ish% before bed.

There's nothing else out there that looks good enough to wear in a professional environment, by a long shot, as the 360 does. Not interested in a brick or a G-Shock. I get lots of compliments.. but unfortunately most people ask 'is that the new iWatch???'. :silly: The one good thing the iWatch will do is to push the wearables out to a wider audience and build a market for better options.. and apple generally does a great job at that.
[Moto 360] Solutions Etcetera:
Agreed, and I think simple is probably better for a watch. But the current incarnation of AW's notifications is severely flawed. Dismissing one means its gone for good, not only on the watch but the phone too. There needs to be a better way to manage them besides on the display or gone for good.
[Moto 360] kboya:
I'm reading this with interest as smart watches intrigue me. The potential is always far greater than the initial experience. I have a striiv touch as a test to see the potential. It does a little and is tiny; it reinforces my wish for a Wear device, but I know that watches do not inspire me.

I'd get a 360 mainly as it is the most beautiful of them all, but also because my moto x is by far the most adaptable and interesting smartphone Ive ever owned (Ive had a number of nexus models alongside other flagships). What moto have done, over the last year or so, is so far ahead of the competition that the embarrassment should shame them. It's moto's innovation of matching hardware with software tweaks that gives the 360 potential beyond other android watches.

That said, I can see why the OP's 'prime time' is a fair claim. Emerging areas are often incomplete. For me, that's not such an issue as it will evolve, but it must do speedily. If wear 2.0 comes soon (as reported elsewhere) and moto keeps up their (currently excellent) support then it will. If not, I see a number of people returning their device or selling on.

The time is now for feedback and development, not comparisons with a so far nonexistent apple watch.
[Moto 360] lozfromcorby:
Maybe ive missed something here. You mention you paid £250 ("quid") and are returning it. Can you tell me where in the uk you got it from exactly at such a great price so i can get one???

Cheapest on ebay is £240 with £50 shipping and another £70 import tax?
[Moto 360] LegendM:
It's apple crap,I wont buy it anyway.Also it will be 500 dollar so no
[Moto 360] sshark:
Guys, this is a good discussion and had been a hoot ( some people jostling to get this thread closed while others asking what gives one orgasms)!

By no means, I am an apple fan boy but I am saying Google being first major entrant to the market should have taken approach of setting tone of what a smartwatch should be!

I will not be surprised if some of the features from Watch seep into Wear! I am asking why must apple set tone of new wearable technology?!

Someone said that they are content with getting only notifications on the wrist (aka Wear model) rather than expanded choice (aka Watch model)... My question is ..did you anticipate getting everything done on smartphone 10 years ago before iPhone was introduced?

Apple almost single handedly uprooted both Windows Mobile and Blackberry and set new tone for handhelds.

In this case, it is not unjust to expect Google to set such tone being prime mover!

I still stick my original argument that Wear is not yet ready for Prime Time and lot more innovation is needed from OEM ...Moto 360 is a good first step but falls short of expectations.

Thoughts?

You just couldn't wait until the wear 2.0 update? And why return it anyway? Are you really that broke and needed the money? Whatever. I'm sick of trying to shake some sense out of these punks.
[Moto 360] sshark:
Chillax man, nobody is trying here to talk any sense to anyone. We are just exchanging ideas and thoughts! Being broke or rich doesn't mean you should squander what you have...

I did see announcement regarding Android Wear 2.0 - sitting tight to see what comes out!
[Moto 360] deziking:
Yea seriously should have waited until update. This is just not an ordernary watch, you can customize it millions of different ways. This is just the begining. Your loss. The new update is so ****ing smooth with scrolling.
[Moto 360] sprinttouch666:
This.

Can you please name a single innovation or feature on the Apple watch that makes it better than Wear? Honestly curious because I can't think of a single one (the tapping that only sends a tap message to someone else with an Apple watch is a gimmick and best). Wear is also going to receive at least one (and very likely more) large updates adding new features before the Apple Watch even releases. Furthermore, anyone who has spent more than 72 hours with Android Wear would immediately recognize how overly complicated and time consuming Apples interface and need for that "digital crown" really is. I want quick access to things as they happen and the ability to immediately act on them, not a mini smartphone that takes longer to get anything done than actually pulling me phone out and doing it.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
The new KGW42R update doubled the battery life, right in time for wear 2.0, these poor fools jumped ship so early! :laugh:

Android Wear is an extension of Google Now and if that works, using Android Wear is a bliss.

[Moto 360] xtrandrix:
I'm also returning my Moto 360. I wish the reports of these watches were more conclusive of how they opporate and function. It seems like everyone has a different experience of how fluid the animations are...the lagging between screens and the battery life. For me there is 2 major reasons for return.

1. Battery life on my actual phone. No problems when it isn't connected. Drains the life out of it when it is. (Note 3)

2. The lagging between screens and the lack of being "fluid"

The latest update seems like battery life on the watch has improved. I love the watch just feel like there is work left to be done... I'll purchase the 2nd Gen and hope for better.
[Moto 360] deziking:
What u using on note 3? make sure no additional useless android wear apps running in background. Im on nexus 5 and battery life hasn't changed. I just changed color on my watch face. I love this watch!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hukanawa:
Hi guys,

I currently own an S3 and I'm hoping to upgrade to a Nexus 5! I am currently getting 2hours of screen on time, 2 hours and 30 minutes if I am lucky! As you can see, thats really really bad.. I want to upgrade so I've got two options buy a brand new Nexus 5 or a used Z1. Both are the same price. But I really really want to try out the google experience. I've been using AOSP roms on my S3 but I'm really hoping to get a Nexus 5.. However, I've heard the battery life is not so great in reviews. How much screen on time do you guys roughly get on average or heavy use?? I know it varies from phone to phone, but I'd really appreciate it if you guys could post your screenshots or tell me how much screen on time you get :)

Battery life has been great for me since the Nexus5 launch! ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
I came here to ask the same thing, i have a toss up between the Nexus 5 and the LG G2, i like the look and design of the nexus, but im worried about the battery and some people say the colour looks washed out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Battery is fine. Not great, not poor. G2 may have better life, particularly if you want to use the double tap to wake / knock on features.

Screen is pretty good actually. It may looked washed out compared to an SAMOLED screen but stands up well against other LCD's
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubreed000:
Hey I just moved from an S3 to a Nexus 5 this past Friday. I feel like battery life is much better, and I haven't even flashed any custom software on the device yet. I got 4h of on screen time yesterday, and the phone still had 5% battery left. Total up time was about 19 hours.

It's also much smoother performance than touchwiz, and it's smoother than a custom romed S3 too. Just don't expect the same level of customization as a rom like carbon, liquidsmooth or whatever on vanilla Android. It's pretty barebones OS. It's still waaay better than touchwiz though

Trust me: you will not regret the move :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yep, its much better than the S3. I came from the Quad core version GT-i9300
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhilleus_:
I'm quite happy with mine and I'd say it actually performs a bit better than most other smartphone batteries I've had. I'm not a very battery-heavy user except on rare occasions. I keep my screen on the dim side and always kill apps when I can. Always connecting to wifi and rarely use it for long periods of time except when I'm GPS-ing somewhere complicated or am bored in a doctors waiting room.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
At this rate you might as well wait for the nexus 6. Also not to mention that when android L is released, optimizations on the battery department are expected to be made as it was a highlight of the Android L announcement
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
S3 is actually on this list as well as S4. This isn't typical battery life you should expect, just the best way to compare devices under the same conditions.

Battery will last you a day no problem on N5 normal usage. G2 will last about a day longer, the idle drain is low.

I would wait for the nexus 6 at this point tho.

It could be better, since the nexus was built after the G2, and cant live more than 5 hours of screen time. But isnt something that Will make you regret.

[T-Mobile LG G3] zxandrewxz:
So, I just got this phone about 2 days ago (After sending one back due to over heating issues) Anyways, I want to get the most out of my new phone.

So, I have a few questions I can hopefully have answered.

1). I want to know the BEST way to improve my battery life if need be and to avoid any type of heating issues since I am a heavy gamer (Order and Chaos, Brave Frontier, PPSSPP emulator)

2). What is the benefit to rooting my device? Will rooting my device void my warranty, and if so, if I were to unroot, would i still be under warranty?

3). ROMs and Kernels, are they stable? My last device was the Galaxy S4. Ran perfectly never overheated (Got slightly warm, even when hardcore gaming) though. When I installed a ROM (Wicked, Cyanogenmod Android KitKat 4.4.4) to it, it started to overheat from just going on Facebook or about 5 minutes on any game. Continued to overheat even after I flashed back to the Original Stock Rom.

Really loving this device as is right now but would love to learn some new techniques especially when it comes to heating issues or battery drains (So far so good, with the exception that Brave Frontier made my phone really hot earlier when on for about 10 minutes on 100% brightness)

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
1. Best way to improve battery life to is freeze un-needed apps and remove their start-up abilities.

2. The benefits to rooting your device are limited only by your knowledge of the apps and why you are rooting it. It is safe to say your warranty is voided. You should just accept that and move on.

3. It depends on what rom and kernel you intend to run. The Alpha AOSP builds are stable but have known bugs. Zone-Rom is a very stable 10m build that i run on my little brothers phone with no issues. I am currently running stock on a modified kernel and will run the aosp roms on the weekend to get test them. The only heating issues i have ever seen are dependent on the cpu governors. If you are running 100% performance with keeping all 4 cpus on they are going to get hot, simple as that.

Browse through the forums. There is a ton of good information for you here.
[T-Mobile LG G3] zxandrewxz:
Thanks, I have been browsing since this morning. Found a few thins here and there Like Snapdragon Kernel (WHich I am really interested in) , but not really any help in how to even start.

I have a slight problem that has been on my phone since last ngiht when I switched to ART, whenever I start up my phone, estimated battery time left always says around 3 hours at 100 percent, but increases during the day to about 22 hours lol dont know if its really a problem or not though, but I dont think i should be asking that here...

I ask about Rooting because my device is fresh and I still have my waranty just incase something happens to my phone. I want to know if unrooting and going back to original stock will avoi problems if I need to return it.

If you're able to, I would like to be able to learn what rooting method is best and ho to go about getting the SNapdragon kernel on my stock firmware (This was so much easier on my s4 lol)
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
Use purple drake to root in Android development... It will freeze up and require a battery pull. Once you reboot install supersu from Playstore and twrp manager. Once you have twrp installed, create a back up and then install the zip drive for the kernel. This must be loaded on internal storage. Reboot and enjoy
[T-Mobile LG G3] zxandrewxz:
Will do that now, but for the Kernel, it says that my phone must be unlocked? How can I tell if it is?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
