[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAssassin:
Hey can anyone tell me why my battery seems ta drop by 2% every like minute sometime othertime normal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Nobody can say without having any information.

Biggest reasons it'd have are:

1. Bad connection, your phone is search for good signal all the time and thus draining battery.

2. One or more of ur apps interrupt deep sleep of ur phone and let it drain battery.

If bad signal is the cause the only thing u can try is flashing another modem. Otherwise a new provider is needed.

If apps are the problem, you'd get greenify and hibernate all apps u don't need to push notifications.

If this problem still persist, download betterbatterystats and check which app or process is stopping deep sleep of your phone.

I don't think I have to mention GPS,wifi,bluetooth and automatic sync should be deactivated right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
You could also use greenify to close any apps that are still running when your screen is off. Also, you could try using a different kernel such as dorimanx or apolo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1ad_m12:
Gave my little bro the old skyrocket with a stable rom on it since I wasn't using it all that much. He hasn't been the most careful with it (dropped it a few times) but its held up save for a few scratches on the battery door.

Problem is he rebooted one night and this big white line appeared right down the middle of the screen (I honestly think he dropped it and is too embarrassed to tell me). He showed it to me and it only shows up when the screen is on. Booted into CWM, same thing.

Just to clarify, this is definitely a hardware issue right? This probably sounds like a stupid question but he really wanted me to ask... apparently my word isn't good enough cause now hes freaking out about getting the money to buy a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
need new screen/lcd

u can try odin back to stock but i dont think that would solve it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1ad_m12:
thanks for the reply vincom. Loved your superlite roms by the way!
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Got my 360 yesterday and I'm loving it. I discovered that the Chomp SMS notifications don't get sent to the phone. Chomp does its notifications differently so I need to test the others, but I thought I'd ask. What do you use, and is it wear compatible?

I know Hangouts is compatible, so we can build a list of known good apps.

edit: Chomp tweeted at me and said it is compatible since version 6.21, but I couldn't make it work on mine. Might be missing a setting. Another user confirmed it worked on his phone/watch.

Wear Compatible (can reply from watch)

Hangouts

Textra

Evolve SMS

Go SMS Pro (able to pull up older messages from watch)

Handcent SMS

Chomp SMS (might require special settings)
[Moto 360] mumboender:
I use Textra. It works great.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Does it have a Wear app? You can reply from the watch?
[Moto 360] mumboender:
Doesn't have s specific app for wear but the notifications are passed through and the notifications allow you to respond directly from the watch.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Ok. I was reading about someone not being able to reply from a stock app on a Galaxy S5 I believe, so I'm not exactly sure what the app has to have to allow replying from the watch. Thanks for the report.
[Moto 360] mumboender:
It has to have the ability to respond in the notification bar on thr phone I think....without opening the app....
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Ah!! That makes sense
[Moto 360] machoua:
EVOLVE SMS WORKS LIKE A CHARM ALSO.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Go SMS Pro is compatible with the Wear. It's the only way I know of that you can actually read through your existing (old) text messages and send a text from there. You just have to pin the messages from a particular contact to the top on the phone.

I found it odd that with the stock messaging app you can't simply read through your texts, but Go SMS Pro has figured out a way...
[Moto 360] ThePublisher:
I second this.
[Moto 360] opasha:
Wow, Textra is amazing! Thanks for this. The whole layout is solid, it works well with Light Manager and Nova Launcher Counter. You can reply, mark as read, and call. Seriously, that's better than stock sms and hangouts.
[Moto 360] pappuhathi:
Is there any app which allows you to delete sms from wear? Hangouts does not allow that. I get a lot of SPAM messages and this would be really helpful.
[Moto 360] aviatordoc:
I like Handsent SMS which also pushes to the wear. It is infinitely customizable.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
I also want to thank you for bringing it up. I like it a lot. I love Hello SMS but it keeps having issues with MMS on T-Mobile. They update it often, but the latest versions I used started having a big bug that would crash the whole SMS system and I would have to reboot. The last version I tried to use was forcing me to sign up for a free SMS before I could use the app. That was the last straw.
[Moto 360] pakure:
But then s5 has that
[Moto 360] its_dale:
Im not quite sure what you are asking.. my Chomp SMS and Moto 360 work fine. Notification goes to both phone and watch. It clears from the other once it is viewed.. can also reply from moto 360
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Apparently it is compatible since version 3.6 I believe, but it didn't work on mine. Maybe I missed a setting? I'll update the OP. I'm using Textra now, so I'm not inclined to look into making Chomp work (at least as of now).
[Moto 360] AndrewAmazed:
I love Textra and have been a long-time user BUT the one gripe I have about Textra & the Moto 360 is that when you mute notifications on the phone, you don't get the vibration from the text messages via Textra. You have the have the phone set on vibrate... I mean it's a small thing but I really do hope they change this.
[Moto 360] aviatordoc:
Ok, I tried a bunch of them now and I think the only one which allows you to reply back from the watch directly is the SMS Go pro. It allows you to select reply and opens voice to compose txt and sends it, all on the Moto360. The others send you the notification to the watch, but then give you an option to open it on the phone to reply.
[Moto 360] Nosnibor:
I just got my 360 on the 23rd. I noticed I get notifications for messaging but can't see them. I guess I need to change the app I use if I want to see them? Should I be concerned about privacy on any of these random apps?

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

I just got this. I am really impressed with the app itself...however I cannot read the message on my moto...is there a setting I need? I could reply but I didn't know what I was replying to.
[Moto 360] memekmek:
Get wear messenger, its a paid app, but you can actually see all of your sms threads on your phone. its amazing. it has quick responses, and also lets you reply via voice.
[Moto 360] Nosnibor:
I have corrected this in the settings....looks good and works now...thanks!
[Moto 360] opasha:
Just an update. TEXTRA sucks because it doesn't send MMS properly despite reading 10 different forums and the official textra website to fix it. I tested this about 10 - 15 different times with myself and other people - MMS messages literally came almost 10+ hours later. While it was sending, it was draining the battery/using data the whole time (I didn't know that's what the stupid dots were. People complained about this MMS issue on ChompSMS as well.

So, I did some digging and found Hello SMS. It works MUCH better, doesn't eat battery like Textra, and you can do everything with it (reply, call, mark as read, open up on phone). It has a nice tab like interface that is really smooth/fast. I was really shocked how quick this app is. Also, when you send an MMS, it's really quick and it actually shows a preview of the image on your watch...not sure if this was on other apps because I couldn't properly test it.

Either way...it's a solid app - really straightforward simple interface. I'm on ATT. I saw some other T-mobile user had issues...not sure why. I have none.
[Moto 360] ast11:
I tried handcent.

The message gets pushed but I'm not able to respond using the watch.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
That's funny, I love hello but they have issues with MMS on T-Mobile, so I can never use it reliably. Chomp SMS always works for me, and Textra has been just as solid with MMS as Chomp usually is.

As with everything else, YMMV
[Moto 360] aviatordoc:
Yes, True. I had the same.

So I moved on to the SMS Go Pro. paid for it. Works great. SMS comes to the watch, swipe to left and get the reply screen, say yes and speak into watch and it sends right away. Works every time and am so glad I bought it.
[Moto 360] DarienA:
How do you do this? On my Moto 360 when launch go sms I get the tap buttom to open stick conversations. I tap the envelope icon and nothing happens... I do have 3 conversation threads pinned to the top of my conversation window in my android go sms app.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Hmm. Worked for me doing it just as you described...

Maybe try rebooting everything?
[Moto 360] jayr04:
I'm on T-Mobile with M8 and can't send SMS with Chomp but can receive. Did not test MMS.
[Moto 360] opasha:
And as nice as Hello was...it can't send or receive MMS now. Very weird. I guess they messed something up in their update. Back to stock messaging or hangouts for now.
[Moto 360] DarienA:
Yeah had done that, no dice.. ah well...
[Moto 360] raduque:
I cant reply at all using the stock sms app on my Note 3 running the latest update.
[Moto 360] CLTNex4:
On my 360 I can't even reply from Hangouts. Nexus 5 running 4.4.4. Can voice reply to Gmail, but that's it. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?

Also, anyone tried 8sms yet? Current version advertises Wear compatibility. Just wondering.

Thanks all.
[Moto 360] bustanut666:
been trying to find more info about text messaging before i buy the moto 360. Maybe some of you can shed some light. I have tried almost every text app but always end up going back to CHOMPSMS.

I have a verizon s5 and using chompsms. Got 2 questions:

1) does MMS group text messaging appear on the moto 360?? and if so, can you reply to all from the watch?

2) if you receive a picture in a SMS text message, can you view the picture on the watch?

Thanks in advance..
[Moto 360] brotbuexe:
Confirmed. Works fine.
[Moto 360] shibby_cbs:
I second this. Wear Messenger is where it's at for viewing existing messages and replying to messages. you dont have to wait for a notification to come up to be able to reply to it. the app is very accurate and fast. i have nothing but good things to say about it. the best part is you dont have to use a third party app.
[Moto 360] memekmek:
8sms works. I use it
[Moto 360] bustanut666:
Can u receive group text messages on watch?
[Moto 360] memekmek:
not on 8sms. you can only read but not respond.
[Moto 360] opasha:
Agreed, and it works great with the new Microsoft Analog keyboard! I use Textra as well, so all three give me a lot of room for convenience.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I'm gonna try to install that Microsoft keyboard tomorrow...

Wish me luck, lol
[Moto 360] thesm4rt1:
EvolveSMS has the best contact picture quality for me, the leaked Lollipop Messenger works like a charm as well (has a card with all texts on it/conversation list) :)
[Moto 360] memekmek:
The top ones that have worked for me are evolve sms and 8sms. For some reason go sms pro had a horrible update and stripped so many features that it has become worthless.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I'm going to have to find a new SMS app. I've been using Go SMS Pro daily for years simply because I liked the ridiculous amount of customization it offered. I could make the LED light up with different colors based on who texted me, and know just by looking at my phone from across the room.

But now it's all gone [emoji33]

Oh well, don't really need that with a smartwatch anyway, I guess...
[Moto 360] DarienA:
I can't believe how much they dropped from GoSMS, I have to believe it was just in a rush to get out the new interface, I'm going to wait a few days to see if an update puts all the features back before I go on the hunt...
[Moto 360] corvyday:
Can anyone using Wear Messenger comment on the usability of the keyboard?

Judging from the screenshots, it looks really fiddly to type with at that size.
[Moto 360] opasha:
I'm just like you when it comes to customization. Textra is working great for me - it's very clean/simple and you can customize your colors.

For LED indicator, download Light Manager - this is by far the best LED indicator on the market. I use it to customize with "color-blink rate":Gmail (red - 2 sec), Textra (Green - 1 sec), Missed Call (cyan - 2 sec), MMS (yellow - 2 sec), Whatsapp (Green - 2 sec). You can pick out of the 9 set colors or create your own custom color with the HEX Color Code option.

I use it all the time with the Microsoft keyboard. It actually works very well and registers your typing quite accurately - I was very surprised at this because I thought something of this size/standard would be very poor. I literally write letters write on top of each each other and the word comes out or shows 3 total suggestions of what it could be and it's been 99% accurate for me. I would definitely try it before you doubt it. With wear messenger you can actually have a convo on your watch because you see all the texts and you can also reply with voice within the app itself. It's great. Would I use it to carry long conversations? Absolutely not because you're swiping one letter at a time (even though it registers swipes quite fast). It's proficient for short replies. If I want a longer reply, I'll just use voice or whip out my phone. It's perfect for meetings or when you're busy and can't speak to your watch.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Hopefully Fleksy will make an SMS app for us, because they will probably include a keyboard. The Wear Internet Browser has a built-in keyboard, so I know it can be done...
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Holy cow! I found an SMS app (to send SMS's) with a built-in keyboard for the 360!

It's called 1c SMS Sender. Takes some getting used to, of course, but works fairly well.

You have to open the app, choose a contact, type out the message and send it...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onecwireless.wear.smssender

It says it's a 30 day trial, fwiw...

[Moto 360] opasha:
How useful is the browser? I'm thinking about downloading it but wondering if it's worth it. Does it kill battery?

So, I just did a test...dude this keyboard is phenomenal. I compared it to the analog keyboard and it's a little quicker in speed, but if you use your dominant hand with the analog keyboard, you can still swipe quite fast. 1C sms is also really easy to edit and send. Both are solid additions to my watch!
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I would say the browser is not worth it, and definitely kills the battery... Fun to play with, once or twice, though
[Moto 360] mrnamster:
GroupMe works great! You can like messages and reply.
[Moto 360] Croog:
Is there a app which allow me not only to reply via voice on wear but also by quick predefined messages like hangouts app can do? I prefer to have separate apps for hangouts and smses...

BTW, is there a way to change those predefined messages in hangout app and those which shows by swiping up on incoming call?
[Moto 360] jiznon:
WearResponses is exactly what you want.

Requires root/xposed, I believe.
[Moto 360] Croog:
Thanks, nice to see there are also such options already. But I will wait for something less drastic. :)

EvolveSMS lets you define your own canned responses

moto 360 and Handcent

aviatordoc...have you been able to reply to a text from your 360 using Handcent? I haven't been able to figure that one out.

Thanks

jcg
[Moto 360] aviatordoc:
No, could never do it. But Go SMS does it seamlessly. I have since moved to Go SMS, which I paid for, and is the only one I am using. It is also customizable like Handsent, but is good to go straight out of the box.

Hope this helps.

The last update of google messenger app supports SMS via android wear.
[Moto 360] legalkill:

[Moto 360] mmjau:
google messenger - keyboard?

Does google messenger let you answer with a keyboard? Like the microsoft one?
[Moto 360] legalkill:
Not that I know of. I use 1C SMS for keyboard messages.
[Moto 360] ttown:
I downloaded Google messenger and like the features. I can now start or reply to a text with voice on the watch. Being able to see previous messages and the ability to scroll through them is welcome as well.

Once concern I have is this app could be a battery hog. It is still too early to tell, but my battery life is already at 77% at 11:30 am. I typically can make it from 7 am to 11 pm with 50% battery left. It is very possible my extra battery drain is due to the fact that I am replying and sending new texts through the watch that I wasn't doing before. Anyone else experiencing battery drain with this app?
[Moto 360] legalkill:
I think that with any app that we test or use more because its new or because of increased functionality will have an initial higher drain. Maybe give it a day or two to settle in with your normal use and see if usage normals out.
[Moto 360] edzzik:
custom vibrating aleets?

The apps suggested here are all great. But most have a tiny quick vibration alert that you dont even feel on your wrist. Textra lets you customize the vibration alert. Do other apps allow this customization?

Coffee and PONG are best, without paying. Pong can send Whatsapp or facebook message.
[Moto 360] rachelm920:
Does anyone have a solution for the OP? I can't get chomp to work with my 360 either, and I really like it with the customization etc. I just installed a custom ROM on my Nexus 6 this morning, and decided to give it a whirl but can't reply to the messages like I did on stock :( I have tried pong but I can't speak my response I don't like that. I don't want to shell out money for Go either.

**EDIT - Never mind, it suddenly started working LOL I have no idea how I didn't do anything but install messenger unless it needed that...

Coffee for SMS

Coffee is nice as it has a bunch of preset replies, some of which can be modified by a phrase on the fly. And yo don't have to change your current (phone) SMS app. When you modify a preset message, it remembers it for that contact, which is nice. It has a nice launcher for the phone, with 4 contacts on it. And you can just wing it with voice. I had it in my 'whats missing' post here about halfway down.
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
Google Messenger works, too. I've been trying to get ahold of the devs of Kik Messenger to get them to support Wear but they don't respond.
[Moto 360] Jaws4God:
well I have been trying so many SMS apps for my watch... right now i'm using

Verizon Messenger + (i'm on Tmobile but its a stand alone app, just can't log in and use it online)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs&hl=en

1. Allows for replying (canned or voice)

2. Wear App to show you all of your messages and allows you to respond to any of them.

Just doesn't have a "mark as read" option.. swiping doesn't seem to clear the notification from phone.

I have tried..

Textra - works great, but wish I could see previous messages

Google Messenger - HORRIBLE image quality.. reduces size tremendously.

Evolve SMS - doesn't work right when replying to other messages other than the last one.

Wear Messages - doesn't support MMS Group Messages.

Pulse - have issues with missing texts or image display issues.

If anyone else knows of a great SMS app that shows previous messages, let me know!
[Moto 360] Ev0luti0n_:
Hey man. Just bought a 360 2nd gen. Going to try to use the standard SMS client for now, but i feel tempted to use textra, at least. the stock client seems to be hit or miss.
[Moto 360] Jaws4God:
yeah I actually stopped using Verizon Messenger because now it constantly asks me to verify my number since i'm not a Verizon member..

right now i'm using MOOD sms.. its not the best when it comes to WEAR SMS.. (can't reply to MMS messages) but it does seem to be reliable with notifying me each time (had that issue with Textra, it would automatically make notifications go away without notifying me on watch).. I am hoping they bring more androidwear support.. the developer is still releasing updates.

Thanks and good luck!

This is microSD card issue.

I had HTC Apache (PPC6700) with miniSD - no problem

I had Hermes with microSD 1GB SanDisk - problem

I have Hermes with microSD 2GB SanDisk - problem

AFAIR problem is with microSD card and it's Digital Rights Management.

My problem happens when I switch SimCards, new SIM card and WMP does not see nothing on microSD.

Similar problem I had with coping data (GPS maps) via card reader/writer - problems accured, via ActiveSync - no problem. Difference was in speed.
