Hmm, the pit might be why you're having issues. Most updates don't need the separate pit file. If it's needed, it's often packaged in the main tar file. I would just redo the Odin flash without pit and factory reset afterwards.

[Moto 360] JayRyu:
I have been using the 360 for about a week now. On the first day, the battery life lasted about 10-12 hours after heavy use. After installing the new system update, I noticed that my watch started lasting the whole day from 8am to 11pm. I have been using it to reply to SMS messages, voice commands, navigation and music. There are a few things that I noticed this past week that is kind of annoying but bearable.

1. Unable to reply to SMS when using the default SMS app on the phone. In order to reply to SMS on my 360, I need to set hangouts as my default SMS app.

2. Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and reconnecting causing the notification cards to reappear after previously dismissing them.

3. Sometimes the gyro sensor doesn't work when I lift up my arm to look at my watch, so I need to push the button or tap on the screen. Only way to fix this is by restarting the watch.

4. Sending a new sms message via 360 to someone with foreign name is terrible.

Those are the main things I have noticed the past week. Other than these issues, I have been happy with my watch. What are some things you guys noticed?
[Moto 360] EnIXmA:
I got mine in the morning, and I must say that this thing is an absolute beauty..I got compliments for the watch from 2 strangers, both could not believe that it was a smart watch and not a designer watch.

Functionality wise its the same thing as my g watch, no surprises there
[Fire TV General] spyder03:
I'm getting and hopefully rooting my new FTV tomorrow, and was checking out the launchers. I am going to primarily use it for XBMC, but I'm sure that my wife will want to use the FTV stock launcher. Which way should I go to easily switch between XBMC and stock FTV?
[Fire TV General] Ultraschorsch:
Since you can't root the FTV for now you could use llama in order to make a XBMC shortcut on your FTV homescreen.

edit: I don't know what firmware version you will get, rooting is impossible with the german FTVs for now. Maybe you are more lucky.
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
You may be able to root. Before you even plug your FTV in, you should read and follow the guides on AFTV News. Start here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-setup-a-new-fire-tv-without-blocking-root/#more-1403.

ftv in
[Fire TV General] spyder03:
Thanks guys. Followed the guides and I have ROOOOOOOOT! :D

Now to install XBMC...

Is llama the preferred method? What exactly is llama anyway?
[Fire TV General] Ultraschorsch:
Since my FTV isn't rooted I can only tell you they way on how to add XBMC to the homescreen with llama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMt8gtnCSx0

There are probably better ways on how to start XBMC while keeping access to the Fire TV homescreen but this works just fine here, even without root.
[Fire TV General] nyder:
I find FiredTV to be a very decent launcher. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2782303
[Fire TV General] Taige:
I second FiredTV...

I installed it so I have an icon for XBMC, Xfinity TV Go, the FireTV app, PBS, PBS Kids, Plex, Pluto.TV, and Settings. Everything else is hidden. If I want to watch something on Amazon Prime, I just launch the FireTV app, and I'm in the "default launcher". Hitting the Home button takes me back to FiredTV, no matter which of these I'm in.

Of all those, I think XBMC is our main use... I'm running Mythbuntu as my PVR back-end, and this makes getting to XBMC super easy, while still making it easy to get to other apps, and back to XBMC...
[Fire TV General] gazdaman.:
FiredTv for sure.

Easy interface for accessing sideloaded apps and also comes with an icon that takes you to the stock launcher if required.

This, combined with rbox's firetv xposed mods = perfection

:D
[Fire TV General] nhumber:
i must say the same, i tried some asop style launchers.. and well i just cant get used to a phone interface on a TV.. i try but theres something not right about it. FiredTV is good to go over here.
[Fire TV General] KarlP:
I'm using the SPMC version of XBMC these days which is an Android launcher. Along the xposed and the rbox mods is what everyone else I know seems to prefer as well. I've built about 5 HTPC replacements for people and they are all happy with this setup as well.

1. Root

2. Custom recovery

3. Latest firmware

4. busybox

5. Stickmount

6. Lama (daily reboot)

7. SPMC

8. Xposed

9. Rbox xposed mods

10. Enjoy!
[Fire TV General] bobbym36:
I have used FiredTV in the past. It was good. Nothing flashy but serves it's purpose. I had my FireTV rooted and thought I had Auto updating blocked but I guess I did it wrong. I lost my root so I guess I'm going back to FiredTV. What a bummer!
[Fire TV General] spyder3:
I've read the documentation on SPMC vs XBMC....mostly talks about the tweaks made...

From a user's perspective, what do you notice is the difference? Is it snappier? less crash prone? etc?

Could I install it next to XBMC and try it out? Or would I need to uninstall XBMC first?
[Fire TV General] collindv:
I didn't notice much difference between the two. I started out with xbmc and switched to spmc because it fixed a few issues I was having at the time. They both work pretty well. They can be installed along side each other as they use separate days folders.
[Fire TV General] nhumber:
spmc is also in the amazon and google play app store so you can just download and install it from there and have a real icon on the amazon launcher without the need for anything else if you wish, i still use rbox exposed mod's and firedtv set to the alternate launcher but again, none of its really needed if you want to just use SPMC now since its in the app store.
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
My setup:

1. Root

2. Custom recovery

3. Latest firmware

4. busybox

5. Stickmount

6. XBMC/Kodi -- Helix Alpha 4

7. SPMC (non-launcher version)

8. Xposed

9. Rbox xposed mods

10. XBMC Launcher blunden - September 4, 2014 (from Google store). This latest version allows you to specify which version of XBMC you want to launch. You can easily go back and forth. It's important to have the non-launcher version of SPMC installed.
[Fire TV General] KarlP:
Maybe a fluke, but less crashes with SPMC than when I was running XBMC. You could backup your XBMC config with the FIRE TV utility and restore it to SPMC and be done. They can exist together on the same box, but I found no reason.
[Fire TV General] spyder3:
I'll set it up and run it along side my current installation. Haven't done an XBMC backup/restore yet, so this will give me a reason to practice that as well.

Thanks guys!

so I have a work calendar that I keep track of for work and helps get me through my day. I have it currently set up as an exchange syncing only the calendar option checked off. It works without a hitch, however when I goto my mail app (stock) when I choose combined view it will automatically start downloading the emails to my phone.

anyone know a way around this ?

What happens if you uncheck this email account sync in the Mail App Account Settings.

Mail App > Settings > Accounts > Account settings > Accounts & sync.

Hi,

Just having been stung for a huge download charges from my phone provider, I want to plan to change my phone provider to another in about 12 months time.

Can anyone give me a simple guide to what the state of play is?

Advice and opinions welcome!

I notice threads asking about unlocking Artemis, I presume to allow another provider to be used.

I'm not sure whether other providers still require a monthly charge or whether a PAYG would become an option. I'm not sure about the viability of PAYG on other operators... can they still give Internet access for me?

I intend to drop to the £20 option after 6 months. which means Iv'e paid £330 for the orbit over the Year and benifited from all the free calls.. I got the handset free.

I felt this way i am also covered against faults as i can just go to any O2 shop.

Thanks for your reply. That's very helpful.

Is there an extra charge for Internet traffic?

Finally, I had NOT noticed but TomTom was booting up at each soft reset. I turned it off but hadn't noticed that the GPRS was still live ... i.e. My bigger than expected bill from Copilot and Tom Tom

I had a look on the sd card and found the TomTom auto Autorun file called Start.exe in the root Dir of the card. I moved it into another folder and all is ok. TomTom only runs when I invoke it.

It seems like there are mixed info on this,

but for those of you who already received new moto, if your back cover is soft touch (rubber/non-slip feel like Nexus5 or 1st Gen black MotoX)

what color is it?

I think black is confirmed to be soft touch, but I'm looking at other options.

My current black leather one is kinda slippery, and it's going back to Motorola because of some defects.

Please no "I heard / I think / I guess" posts. ONLY if you HELD it in your hands, thanks.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgalyon:

I have one with black leather back, and I wouldn't say it's a non-slip, feels more slippery than "real" soft touch non-slip.

I wish there was also an option for "sand black" back like the black OnePlus has. That one is the best grip I've tried.

I bought the Olive colored back assuming it would be soft touch because the 2013 moto x in olive was. But the 2014 is not soft touch. Too bad they don't have all the back in store like they did for moto x 2013. I really wish I knew which backs are soft touch.

Do you have "Vibrate" turned on for your phone in the Facebook App Settings?

I get vibrate notifications on my watch, but I also have vibrate turned on in the App settings. Maybe toggle that and see if that fixes it.

However, like the OP, I only get who sent the Facebook Post, not the text of the update. This is a Facebook limitation, not a Wear limitation. They have to add the support.

A company a big and supposedly "forward thinking" a Facebook would have had these features from the beginning
[Moto 360] hacku:
It looks like I didn't have it set to vibrate in the app itself. I thought that any notification sent to the watch would cause it to vibrate. Thanks for the heads up.
[Moto 360] vansmack:
I'm not sure if this is a feature or a hindrance yet, to be honest. I do like the option of having some notifications on the watch without vibration, but I'm not sure if the best place for that option to be is in the settings for each individual app. Can be a bit cumbersome to work out, but I should only be setting it up once, in theory.

I enabled ART on a Verizon G3 and had issues with the phone freezing (usually during a reboot on the red Verizon logo), rebooting, and burning through battery. Went back to Dalvik and all was fine. I know that a lot of people have had good luck with ART. Not sure if any of them are on Verizon phones.

Also, I understand that Xposed does not work with ART as of now. I have Xposed installed and like it a lot.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Right now, when you want to use ART, it is still completely on your own risk. In my case, i've had only good experiences with ART on multiple devices. However, i am using Cyanogenmod (not on the G3 ofcourse) and i debloat as much as i can on stock ROM's.

Your problem might be related to some bloatware not compatible with ART yet.

You have to go into

/efs/carrier/hiddenmenu

(No extension, but its a text file)

Change the contents from "OFF" to "ON" and reboot.

Only works on TW ROMs though I think? Could be totally wrong on that, I guess it *is* only an app, and probably doesn't rely on TW framework.

And even then, only certain menu items still work. Back when the phone came out lots more work. Just google around for some codes you need and try them out.

Not there, I guess it makes sense though, its in the /system folder which I wipe when I install CM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
You must not have enabled "root" from the tools menu of ES browser. I think that's an EXTREMELY important folder for imei/efs/carrier stuff and it persists through ROMs, so every gs3 has stuff in it.

Cool! Did what you told me. Created the shortcut...still get the message "application not installed." I'm befuddled.
