Did you perform a soft-reset after installing the cab file?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] choas:
with acrosoft mms composer 2.5.0.28 you have to install Caller_ID_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC22.CAB to make it work.
[Pebble] Agrajag27:
Guys,

I have a project where I need to record some data in a dark environment and I need something reliable like a physical number pad with obvious buttons to reduce input errors. To store that data I need some sort of reliable device and Pebble seems like a really good potential option.

I have zero experience with one. If I pick up a bluetooth number pad, does anyone know if the Pebble would support it and be able to essentially read it? I have a friend who can code what we need for it but he's not sure about the input device.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
Nexus 6 is unveilled but super overpriced in my opinion, and why is it that Motorola makes all phones look the same ?

the designs of the phones if not the same, it's pretty close. and 2.7 ram? come onnnnn google
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Super overpriced or super outside of your price range? Find me another 6" superphone with those specs for less money.

As far as why they look the same- it's called design language. It's why all HTCs look similar, why all Samsungs are carbon copies of each other, and why all LGs are hideous.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
OnePlus One is way cheaper and almost as good if not better (in my opinion), I am a little disappointed with the nexus 6, and I really don't care for how big the screen is on it, I actually wish it was a little smaller or the same size as N5, also most phones are coming with at least 3GB ram nowadays why hold back on .3 if its gonna be an expensive phone anyway?
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I had and sold the OnePlus One. It wasn't worth a penny more than what they were asking for it. Crappy build quality, defective screens, poor call quality, and buggy software. OnePlus is a bargain basement Chinese brand that failed to deliver on their promise. Motorola and Google they are not. Not to mention the N6 has a faster SOC, better screen, better build quality, better support, better everything.
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
That 300mb is taken by the gpu or reserved for something else. Open up CPU-Z and you will see that your phone has some missing too! Doesn't mean it's not there. It's been this way since day one!

HTC One M8
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
That is kind of the point.

The G is a cheaper X

The 6 is a bigger more premium X

Its perfectly clear market segmentation and all 3 belong in the same family.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
putting it like that, makes sense to me
[Nexus 6  General] Darkenvar:
Verizon doesn't Sim lock any of their 4g devices. So as long as it has the frequencies that your carrier requires then yes it should work, required you update the apns for your carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] partylikeaninjastar:
You take that back. The LG G3 is beautiful.

But why must "cheaper" always equal "smaller"?
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Yup. G2 and G3 are the most beautiful Android phones on the market, the least bezels, gorgeous screens, innovative button placement, and a skin much better than TW, and both have easy root, unlocked bootloaders and dev support.
[Nexus 6  General] F4M0U569:
They could have at least made it thinner, but 10.1mm? Sh**t!
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I couldn't disagree more. I think their physical designs are bland at best and hideous at worst, their button placement is unintuitive and awkward, and they've officially beaten Touchwiz with the world's ugliest Android skin. They may have great screens and super slim bezels, but that's not enough to make up for everything else.

Of course, this is only my opinion. I'm a tough one to please.
[Nexus 6  General] Project:Frankenphone:
I have only used Moto's not actually owned them so my view might be skewed. The reason they look all the same is cause of costs. You don't really need to pay anything extra if you have the same design everywhere. You just pay extra depending on what and how much material you use.
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
You still need a new mould...

HTC One M8
[Nexus 6  General] Mordar:
while I do agree most LG are kinda ugly the Nexus 4 and 5 were extremely beautiful and well designed imho, minimalistic at its best, motorola design is just....ugly and seems outdated

and for that price range?, the appeal of the nexus line was its affordable price for great specs, it's what made the nexus 5 stand out from the competition when it came out, now?, I just don't get why I would get a gigantic phablet nexus 6 when I could get a Galaxy s5, and HTC one m8 (or the mini HTC M which looks incredible) or the xperia Z
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
10mm measured down the center top to bottom...... it curves off to somewhere around 3mm on the edges. In terms of the cross sectional profile the N6 would displace less than the Note 4 brick everyone is comparing it to. I'd rather have a phone that's 10mm tapering off to 3 or 4mm which will be much more comfortable in the hand, than a same size brick that's 9mm (or whatever the competition is) thick everywhere.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I do agree that both the N4 and N5 are great looking phones. The N4 more so. The N5 actually looks and feels like a reference design and not something that was designed to be mass marketed, but again, it's still an attractive handset.

As for the price, what I think people are forgetting is that there have been more full priced Nexus devices than cheap ones. Only the N4 and N5 were priced like they were stolen. I was surprised with the N6's pricing like everyone else, but I certainly don't think it's overpriced at all, considering what you're getting.

And as far as Motorola's designs are concerned, I absolutely love them. They aren't supposed to be flashy, and their ergonomics are unmatched. The original Moto X made me a Motorola fan for life.

I loved My Epic 4G Touch but every Samsung phone has been a disappointment to me since. To their credit though, I do like the way the Alpha and Note 4 look but TouchWiz is an absolute deal breaker. I loved HTC, was a huge fan of the One X, but the M7 and M8 aren't for me. And yeah, the Xperia Z3 is insanely cool looking. The moral of the story is to each their own.
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
I think the main issue is that people need to stop looking at it as a "Premium Moto X". If you're going to compare it to anything, it makes a bit more sense to say it's an off-contract ever-so-slightly downgraded Note 4 for $175 less.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
It looks like a Moto X... aside from that they have nothing else in common. And the fact that it doesn't have TouchWiz makes it a moderately upgraded Note 4 :p
[Nexus 6  General] pside15:
Actually, only the T-Mobile G3 had an unlocked bootloader. There's a new workaround for the other models but dev support isn't really there yet like on the G2. Still very pleased with my G3 though.

How can you think the G3 has a bland design? Also, don't knock the back buttons until you've tried it. Having the buttons on the back make it more streamlined along the sides and top. You also haven't used or seen the G3 in action if you think it's worse than TW. It's very slimmed down from previous LG phones and has quite a bit of very useful additions but doesn't feel bloated like TW.

That being said, I'm still probably going to jump to the N6 as long as the camera is somewhat close to the G3 camera.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Honestly I believe the reason it "looks the same" as the MotoX/Moto family devices inspired from Google is because they found something that worked with the design. Not so much looks rather than actual feel and ergonomics in the design that makes it a pleasure to hold, not a problem. I know many people who have complemented the MotoX for this design and in all honesty I would not be surprised that with the Nexus 6 especially Moto and Google took special attention making sure this device will be just as much a pleasure to hold as any of their other recent phones.

I mean hell, you know they had to be paying attention to ergonomics if they went out of their way to make the Vol/Power buttons more centered to the side of the device rather than keep them closer to the top. If they thought of that when holding the device I am sure we will be pleasantly surprised on how well it is to hold. We should have no reason to complain about it until it gets into the hands of reviewers at the very least.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Actually, the G3 is one the falls into the hideous camp for me. I can't stand the 2 tone front, and the overall shape of it is meh. I have spent enough time with one to not like the button placement. With the way I hold my phones, having buttons on the side makes way more sense to me. My fingers are already touching the sides of the phone, so putting the buttons anywhere else makes me have to readjust my grip to press them. And I have also spent enough time with one to know I can't stand the skin. It may not seem as bloated as TouchWiz, but it's definitely uglier IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I can understand why some people like LG phones, just like I can understand why some people like Samsungs or HTCs. They just aren't for me.
[Nexus 6  General] pside15:
Nice post. Didn't know you'd used a G3. We just fall on opposite sides, I suppose. No real wrong or right.

The G3 was my first LG phone, besides the N4, and I'm impressed by the amount of customization they allow out of the box. Which is one of the main reasons I don't mind the LG skin or whatever. I'd definitely rather have AOSP though.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
The N5 is my first LG phone. I admit I had a prior hatred of all things LG due to my experience with their products in the CE world, but since it was a Nexus I was OK buying it. I was pleasantly surprised- the N5 is one of my all time favorite phones. Giving credit where credit is due though, I'm sure a big part of why it is such a great device is because of the input Google had in its creation. I mean, it is nothing like any of LG's other devices and if it had a different brand's logo on it, I don't think anyone would say that it was a ripoff of LG's phones. The Nexii from Samsung were clearly Samsung phones, and there is no question that the N6 is made by Motorola. So all that said, I really don't consider it to be an LG phone.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
Rapha, infelizmente nao ... voce teria que comprar um aparelho desbloqueado, mesmo porque a Verizon tem o pior bloqueio de celular aqui dos EUA (Sorry guys I thought the answer to his question was better explained if I told him in portuguese)
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
I actually like the design of the G3 and N5 are pretty nice. but I will agree that they beat touchwiz on the ugliest skin... but touchwiz is really close behind
[Nexus 6  General] eksasol:
I have both the Moto G 2014 and Moto X 2014, the G is cheaper built and made in China, while the X is much more premium feeling and rigid. The Nexus 6 build quality is going to be identical to the X from the look of it. Also they won't bend.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
does the moto x have wi-fi calling ?
[Nexus 6  General] eksasol:
Nope. Unfortunately. Since it is sort of built into Android L and the Nexus 6 will see it, Moto X users can only hope they will also get it in the future.

I personally just use Hangouts Dialer, which uses WiFi and data to make calls, which is even more versatile for me, although you have to use your Google Voice number.
[Nexus 6  General] partylikeaninjastar:
The back buttons are one of the things I will miss most when I switch from the G3 to the N6. They just make so much sense. Then again, with how I hold my phones, my index finger is on the back while my thumb is on the side so either way it's easy access, plus at least now we can access power/volume when we have our phones on a surface. REALLY hoping tap to wake is included like with the Nexus 9.
[Nexus 6  General] Bjray:
The Nexus 6 (Android L) has something better ;)

"Where supported by the hardware, your device will wake up as soon as you pick it up or tap the screen twice"
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
I like to use the volume buttons to take pictures, I use it all the time, the buttons on the back while super convenient for some things, is still very weird for taking pictures other than selfies
[Nexus 6  General] ARMv8:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcwiztech:
Hello, sorry in advance for my noobish question

I have the S5 G900F, I would kill to get the MIUI ROM for this device, I tried this one but it stays on the samsung logo, tried factory reset etc, (http://itbbs.pconline.com.cn/mobile/51677737.html)

If there is anyone that is willing to port an MIUI ROM for the G900F I would be more than happy to test it, I dont care if the fingerprint scanner or heart rate doesnt work but I require the IR blaster, and yes I know I can MIUI themes but I really would like the full rom, and again I will be willing to test ports etc..

Thank you in advance

[Wear OS General] EpicLPer:
THIS DOC IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY MAINTAINED!

Sorry for this, but real life took over and managed to take so much of my time up that I’m no longer able to verify and test stuff on my own. Besides, since Android Wear 6 a lot of things changed and I’d have to test all of these apps again.

Greetings dear Android Wear users!

Today I got my LG G Watch and I'm just amazed by the capabilities of that watch so I thought I'd create a list of all working sideloaded apps.

For everyone who doesn't know: Sideloaded Apps are .apk files installed directly to the watch via ADB.

Since Android Wear is technically the same and the specs for every watch are also kind of in the same range this list will most likely apply to your own Android Wear watch too, even when it's not an LG G Watch.

Please report any weird behaviors here with the keywords mentioned below to make things easier for me to search and add to the list.

--------------------

Useful Links:

Apps2Wear - Directly install APKs onto your watch via your SmartPhone

How to Sideload Apps onto your Android Wear device (YouTube)

Easily download any APK file directly from the Google Playstore

Easily launch apps from your watch

Un/Install Android Wear apps (Google Docs)

--------------------

The list of all sideloaded apps working on Android Wear can be found on Google Docs (to make things more simple for me to update).

------------------------------------------------------------

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE LIST (Google Docs)

Will be updated over time

------------------------------------------------------------​

Want to help?

If you want to help making this list bigger and better please write the following keywords into your reply/report so I can find things easier and faster:

"Tested & Working" - App install works and application is running and starts without a force-close.

"Tested & Crashing" - App installed but crashes/force-closes at start up.

"Tested & Report" - App installed and runs fine but is unusable (e.g. GUI is too big, example would be Temple Run 2)

This makes my work a whole lot easier and my thankfulness for you even bigger ;)

And now: Have fun testing!
[Wear OS General] iannolsen:
Can you make to work the SwiftKey and WhatsApp in a smart watch?
[Wear OS General] thejonnyd:
Probably not SwiftKey (minuum is probably best suited to wear anyway), and definitely not WhatsApp. If you look at the guide by Corbin Davinport on pushing APKs to android wear, he says that he found that apps that require internet connection do not work. Therefor, WhatsApp wont be able to directly connect, as you would design the app so that it works through the devices Bluetooth connection to connect to the internet. However, I believe the developer of Wear Messenger has an app that lets you access WhatsApp through text messages, which then allows you to use WhatsApp from wear messenger. :cool:

The second point of this post is directed at OP,

In the google docs, it lists "Don't tap the white tile" as partially working and intermittently crashing in certain game modes. Once again referring to the guide by Corbin, the crashes arise whenever the app try's to show an ad. If you go into the settings and disable banner ads and only allow popups, you can get to the end of the game without the app crashing. It probably will crash at the end though if it tries to show an ad as this tries to connect to the internet, and that causes apps on wear to crash. One would probably be able to fix this by decompiling and recompiling the application to remove ads. :)
[Wear OS General] EpicLPer:
Hey, thanks for this tip! Will correct it as soon as I'm in the office again :)

That guide I know, even know the guy who made it. I'll probably create a tiny little program which will make pushing, installing and initializing the connection easier.
[Wear OS General] thejonnyd:
That would be incredibly handy if you made that, I am surprised no one has so far. :D

Maybe one to add to the list would be Es3, its handy having a file manager on the device.
[Wear OS General] EpicLPer:
Well I tested ES File Explorer (if you mean that) and it's pretty well useable actually but some parts would require a back-button sadly. Means via ADB faking a key input.
[Wear OS General] thejonnyd:
Yep thats what I mean, strange that that happens, I haven't had any issues with needing to get back. Swiping from the centre of the screen to the right has gone back for me in all of the menus :s

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.swapps.link

Since yesterday i'm working on adapting it for wear.

Besides it's own feature, it has a specific feature that could make many more apps working on wear: it has a remote clipboard feature that allow to set the clipboard on the wear device from your phone.

They are many apps that don't work on the wear because they need text entry: this would allow you to type the needed text on your phone and paste it in those apps.

Just got my LG Watch G and I tested all sorts of apps after installing the "Ghoma rom", below are some of the apps not on the list I tried.

Tested & Working

Retry

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.retry&hl=en

Game complains about missing Google Play Services but if you "ok" the prompt the game will load and seems to be fully playable. The built in "ad" button that opens a ad to view and earn coins does not work. You must earn coins the hard way in game.

EDIT: The game seems to be usable once every boot, in my case I had to reboot the watch to play the game again.

Tested & Report

Speedtest.net

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest&hl=en

The app loads but doesn't do anything because there isn't system wide internet access.

The game doesn't even seem to try loading, no crash message. But it causes the screen to rotate till it silently crashes in the background.

Angry Birds Friends
