AndroidPolice, AndroidAuthority, MKBHD (great 4K videos), Anandtech, MobileTechReview (good long videos) do tend to go much more in depth including the YouTube channels linked (though never heard of TheDetroitBorg).. I also check out https://www.youtube.com/user/jon4lakers/videos even though they luv Apple & don't go as in depth as they used to..

I do like the increasing well lighted 4K video reviews (or at least 1080p).. expect more soon at https://www.youtube.com/results?lclk=today&filters=today&search_query=nexus+6:good:

If someone took an iPhone and painted over the fruit logo and gave it to Verge for review, they'd find a way to slam it. Least objective and most biased site out there. I still can't get over how they said the Note 4 was too big, yet the iPhone 6+ which is bigger with a smaller screen was said to be easier to hold. The site is a total joke.

Sadly one of the best sites, AnandTech, also lost its objectivity when Anand joined Apple and long before that, they were also Apple biased.

DetroitBorg is an Apple user but his reviews are very informative, he goes in-depth and his videos just look great. Top notch reviewer imo.

Hey guys,

Well my ATT Samsung Galaxy s 4 was running 4.4.2 rooted and it automatically updated itself overnight although it's still at 4.4.2. Now my phone won't connect to anything Google related, when I try to open my Google Play Store it says "Check your connection and try again" and it won't fix. I know it's a problem that has to do with the hosts file but I can't edit the host file without rooting my phone and when I try to use towelroot it just says phone not supported. My phone model is SGH-1337 and the kernel is 3.4.0-2539008, i'm new to the forum so sorry if this information doesn't help.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks so much

This is my first tizen device. I know many of you have had the other watches. What are some good apps for this?
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
This all depends on what you want your watch to do. There are alot of apps but most are not formatted for our Gear S they are more of gear 2 apps that many/many not work for our phone. Apps will increase soon.

many thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
I found these useful

There is a lot of space on the Gear S and if you are not planning to add loads of music and photo's you can pretty much download all the free apps and try them out. But what I have installed and find useful are the following:

OPERA MINI Web Browser - ESSENTIAL!

GEAR NAVIGATOR - Very impressive navigation app with a gorgeous interface. Unlike the free HERE app, this can be used for driving. It also has street view, so ideal for walking directions too. It's a paid app but quite cheap

MY NOTES - really good for checklists and notes, synchronised with a nice looking companion app on the phone

SUPATIMER - Get 6 separate timers running on a cool interface

TIMER - Just one convenient timer if you don't like SUPATIMER

TRAVEL TRANSLATOR - Impressive voice recognition translator with loads of different languages

WEARABLE WIDGETS - Show any widget from your phone onto the Gear (Ignore any information that says you have to use the Wearable Widget Clock - the Widget Screen version does work)

COMPASS - Very cool and accurate compass

APPYGEEK - All latest tech news displayed perfectly on the small screen

VOICE MEMO - Very cool voice recorder and speech to text function

GEAR TASKS - Syncs with various different task accounts

FIND MY CAR - Haven't tested it completely yet but seems to save your parking position at least.

CALENDAR PRO - A paid app but definitely the best calndar app for the Gear

DOG WHISTLES - Just for fun this one, but drive people around you (and dogs of course) insane with this.

As for watch faces, I wouldn't bother with most of them as they just looked lost on the big 2" screen. But I did buy BIG CLOCK LAUNCHER which is cool for a big digital clock with a lot of customisation, with up to eight quick launch shortcuts.

I also downloaded DESK CLOCK, which I use as a more discreet clock and you can change the colours on that too.

Find these apps in the Samsung Gear Store, only accessible via Gear Manager.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
Where are you finding these apps. Found gear fit navigator in play store. Is that the app?
[Samsung Gear S] rmont23:
not the play store. try Galaxy Apps by samsung.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
This is Tizen so all your apps will be in the Galaxy app store aka Samsung stuff only

Becareful thinking this, we thought the same thing with the galaxy gear and the gear 2/gear neo. ........... Still waiting for that amazing app. lol. The only app i think is really cool is the radar watch which will be the first app i get if its avail.

We also noted one thing and i hope this isn't the case with the gear s, in that. The amount of apps you had access was dependent on the "phone device aka Note 3, note 4, s3, s4" all had different apps or one had more then the other. So my note 3 gave me access to some apps i still can't see on my note 4. :( Including the killer update for flesky which was super cool on my note 3 and gear 2 but not avail for note 4 and gear 2? weird.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I have a Note 4 and Gear S the apps are about the same I have Flesky messenger on my gear S . Some of my gear 2 things are available for gear S but are not formatted for it. Gear S is still new and they had the "gear app challenge" so we should see more apps soon.
[Microsoft Surface] Dannysbkn:
Hi everyone, as the title says, i've been having some problems with my surface RT (from the first generation) that I bought 2 days before the Pro was released in 2013 xd

First, a while ago, a year I think, my Vol - button stop working, I don't know why, but it just doesn't work until now. *

Second, I've been realizing that the speed and the fluently have decreased, or in other words, some lag has started to appear, even if I restart the tablet. Do the ARM version of windows suffers the same problems than its x86 counterpart? I mean, that it gets slower and slower as time goes by?

And third, and the most important, for a week or two, the right edge of the screen, doesn't respond to touch, so I can't open the charms bar or press "x" to close desktop apps, unless I use a mouse. It is like an inch wide or maybe less and involves all the "height" in landscape, but when I touch that place, the screen detects it like if I'm pressing either its left or exactly at the right edge. Curiously, it is intermittent, sometimes it works fine like it should, and in others it just doesn't work. Also, sometimes it goes crazy, and that sectors act like if i'd pressing and moving my five fingers all across that area, and I have to press the lock button for make it stop.

*I didn't mention it, but my Vol + button is starting to work weird too, I have to press it several times for make it "return to life" and response.

Well, the touchscreen problem is the one that worries me the most, but due to it is intermittent... could it be related to software instead of hardware? Could it be solved?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Regards (I always doubt if this is the correct word for the expression that goes here xd)

Edit: I forgot to mention it, but i have win 8.1
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
If you haven't deleted the recovery partition, you can "refresh" the tablet to restore it to a like-new-install state. That should clean up any actual decrease in speed (as opposed to mere perception of the same).

The hardware issues sound like, well, like hardware issues. You can't really do much about those except get the thing serviced; it's not very user-repairable.
[Microsoft Surface] Dannysbkn:
I thought that using the recovery to restore it to its original state will be the option, but is anyone else getting similar issues? I was thinking that maybe the problem was an update, because I have them programmed to be installed automatically, and maybe I didn't notice it.

I guess i'll do the "refresh" after I backup my files on December for vacations if this problem doesn't disappear by itself.
[Microsoft Surface] Dannysbkn:
This is getting weirder :S, now I can't open some modern apps, they stay forever with the loading icon in the center, this occurs for example, in the store app or In the news app, but weather or desktop (luckily) work fine.

I'm new to this site so if this thread is in the wrong place, please redirect me to the appropriate section.

A couple days ago, my GSR had shut off for no reason that I could find, and would not turn on (even to try to boot in recovery mode) for 2 hours(it would go into the boot screen but would then shut off after 5-7 seconds of "booting up"), when suddenly it started working again. I couldn't figure out why it stopped working or why it suddenly starting working again. I even changed batteries but that didn't influence anything. Then, exactly (I mean exactly) 24 hours later at the same time, it shut off again. This time, it won't even show the boot logo, and instead says, for less than a second "Movinand checksum confirmation fail." It is rooted, but has been rooted for almost a year with no real modifications done to the device and no previous issues that I noticed. I have tried changing batteries, trying different chargers, replacing the SIM and SD, and tried booting into recovery but has no effect because it shuts off before I can even do anything to it. I've seen a lot of places say wipe cache partition by going into recovery mode, but that's just not possible with what is going on. I try every other hour to see if it has somehow started working again, but now won't even show the "movinand checksum..." message. It is charged because it has been plugged in most of the time that this has been going on. It's not water damaged, I have never dropped it, and it hasn't been exposed to any intense heat or coldness ever in its life. I'm at a loss here, not sure what to do, as it seems I've tried nearly everything. I'm welcoming any suggestions you may have, as well as answering any questions about the situation.

In Need of Dire Help! Galaxy S Relay 4G(SGH-T699) Completely Bricked?

Edit, 11/12/2014: As of today, I managed to get myself into ODIN mode, but will only stay in ODIN mode for about

5 seconds before it shuts off. I can repeatedly do this as much as I want, but does not change anything to how long before it shuts off. I've tried rebooting through adb reboot-bootloader, but since my pc cannot find my device, I get this error "error: device not found". I made sure the drivers are installed, as they needed to be for me to even root my phone, but still no other results.

Also, when I take the battery out and put it back in, it vibrates as if it will boot up, but then red text saying "Movinand checksum..." comes up for a split second, then vibrates again with the same text. Then I can't do anything else until I remove the battery. I'm thinking about getting a JIG that will force it into download mode or recovery mode if one even exists. :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
The jig is for getting the phone into Download Mode, but I don't believe it's any help in keeping it there. If the phone won't stay in Download Mode, even with a charged battery, then I fear the phone is a lost cause. The only other thing that might help at this point would be a JTAG service, if it's available for that device like it is for the more popular Samsungs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmashMAN:
I'm not sure what I did, but I'm able to stay into ODIN mode for as long as I want. I'm still unable to boot into recovery. Is it possible to restore my phone through ODIN?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you had said it reboots while in Download Mode. If it stays there, then that's definitely the 1st thing to try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmashMAN:
Well, it stopped turning off while in download mode just recently. I'm just not sure what caused it. Also, I noticed that the battery I had in my phone when it first started shutting off is slightly bloated. I'm not sure if it's serious enough, but I know that bad batteries bloat, and they can potentially cause issues with your device. But I put my default battery in, but it didn't change anything in regard to the movinand error.

The Galaxy S Relay 4G can be a very odd challenge.

Wow! I'm just making a note here as a marker I can return to and follow up on. This seems almost the worst that anyone can deal with. If the person that made this post just so happens to still be around, or for anyone who may be unfortunately dealing with such an issue, I have an either or "possible" fix, yet haven't been in this particular situation. There are repair files for this device I would assume could be used for this. I'm dropping them, and the last official Samsung software issued for the SGH T699. If I so much as even get a hint my device is going in this direction, I usually flash in the original firmware if and when I can. Back it up and flash it again just to make sure I have a clean build. I can work with stock. It's hard to work with a brick. This device can be very strange so far with any results I'm getting. Which is odd to me on one level because I've haven't had as much difficulty with any of my other devices such as I'm having with this one. I always try to be prepared for any eventuality before I start working on "any" device. I'd call it a very important suggestion, especially for this Galaxy S Relay 4G, to prepare yourself, it's going to be a fun ride!

Hi im a newbie to this. I can see people talking about new ROM and stuff. Why would you change the ROM? what does it do? Is it because og language problems? Considering byeing the O2 xda orbit from Germany. Do I need to change any software gettin it to Denmark? Do I need to change the ROM? Cheers
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
The two main reasons you would want to change roms are:

1) To get a rom in your local language so that all the menus and keyboards are localized

2) Some roms are better than others: more stable (fewer hangs), faster, and fewer glitches.

However, it is sometimes difficult to get good comparative information unless someone spends time using the different roms and/or does some benchmark tests and shares their experience on forums like this.

For the Aretmis there are a number of different roms but we still don't have much info on their relative merits.

Is there a Danish ROM edition?

If I buy the O2 XDA orbit in germany, what ROM should I use to convert it to Danish P3300 standard. I can see only Norweigan and Swedish ROM editions. What is the danish? Is it easy to reconfigure? Is it freeware?

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
I don't know if there is a Danish rom floating around. Generally, if you do not find the rom at the xda ftp site it probably hasn't been shared on the internet.

Changing rom means you would have to unlock your device (imei-unlock) which at present can only be done by paying some 30 euros. Search for imei-unlock within the Artemis forum. Once you unlock it you can change rom. You can also find the procedure in this forum. The overall procedure is not difficult but you should be aware that you will be voiding any warranties.

The easiest solution I would think is to buy a Danish HTC P3300 (unless they have not come out with a local version).
