[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
I've actually owned both of these watches so I think I can draw a good comparison:

First of all, the approach of these two watches is completely different. The LG G Watch R assumes you will always have your smartphone with you. It is basically for notifications and quick responses. It assumes you will use your smartphone for anything more involved. It is an accessory in the purest sense of the word. It helps you keep your phone in your pocket but it doesn't try to replace your phone. With Google Now it has excellent voice recognition and navigation. Fast, light and easy.

The Gear S is very powerful and yet on many levels redundant. It does much of what your phone does. But there is a problem, it does it in such a small format wouldn't you be better off just using your phone? Yes it handles texts better than the LG G R, but why? Your phone does it even better and you aren't typing on a tiny keyboard. But can't you just use the Gear S as a phone replacement and leave your phone at home? Good concept except no camera and the battery life with a 300 ma battery is horrible under heavy use (I blew through a full charge in 2 hours). It's also huge and face it, pretty nerdy. And sadly, S-Voice just sucks.

So while room for lots of improvement exists with Android Wear, I think it gets it on what a smartwatch should be - not a smart phone on your wrist but a smart accessory that extends your smart phone to your wrist.
[LG G Watch R] DarknessWarrior:
Exactly. The Gear S is not worth imho. Why would you want to have a phone on your wrist? And imho it's fugly (as are all other galaxy gear watches).
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
The only reason the Gear S makes sense is if you plan on leaving your smart phone at home, but WHY would anyone do that? You have no camera, you are trying to type on a 2 inch screen, the battery is tiny and doesn't last - and oh yeah, its ugly as you said. It's funny. In this day and age of bigger and bigger screens, Gear S is trying to get us to go back to 2 inches.

That's not to say the Gear S doesn't have good ideas. I would enjoy being able to see lists of my notifications on Android Wear even after I have dismissed them for one. Also the multiple homescreens with widgets is a good idea Android Wear could use.

Last thought, would be nice to be able to talk into the watch when responding to a quick call if you aren't wearing a headset. Gear S does that well.

We really need Gear S and LG G R to have a baby with the best parts of each.
[LG G Watch R] DarknessWarrior:
yeah, Tizen-based Gear watches have good ideas, but first the platform itself is new and is probably heading the same route as Bada did, I don't really see it taking off. And then the Gear S itself is trying to be something most people don't want, noone wants a phone in the wrist, its an hassle to use it, calling, sending texts and so on, then you'll have to have multiple SIM cards... and finally it looks super nerdy calling people from your wrist lol

I mean, there's phones which do a phone's job well done, why would you buy something that makes your life harder? lol IMHO smartwatches are just supposed to be so you don't waste so much time grabbing your phone from your pocket just to see that the notification you just got was some spam email or a facebook farmville invite.
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
Right. Smartwatches are meant to be the 7-11 convenience store of the gadget world. Fast, light, easy.

[General Questions and Answers] Aussie_Dude:
Getting Australian Galaxy Ace S5830T has been a problem for a long time after researching the problem I have found the solution is out there but hard to find. It is on these forums and the key was found by CallMeVentus and his thread can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1225493&page=108

For those who need to do this here are the Steps

Download Odin v4.38

Use Cooper_v1.0.ops to flash first the Optus firmware to the Phone and then shut down and flash the Telstra firmware to the phone.

Then use universal_gb_root_v25.zip to root the phone

I have tested this method with Boost Mobile, Telstra, and Optus Galaxy Ace Phones and it works with all 3

You can find the necessary files here on XDA and the firmware can be downloaded here

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian D:
HELP,

I have an ATT D850 LG G3 that is bumped, rooted and has TWRP. I heard that lollipop was coming to the LG G3 so I clicked software update. NO! I am running Kitkat 4.4.2. It booted straight into TWRP and when I tried to boot into system it just rebooted into TWRP. Ahhh! I tried the basic factory reset in TWRP, no dice. I would not want to re-install stock firmware if I can save my data. Is this a soft brick? What are my options to fix this? THANK YOU for your help!

Thanks in advance,

Pure AOSP marshmallow build

It is just a reference for other developers, because I don't have much time to careful test and maintain it.

Warning: not recommend to try it unless u are sure know how to achieve the following condition, sorry for my bad English, but be careful. And more, /data will not mount under recovery after encryption(needed by android 6.0)

Before Installation:

1. remove /sdcard partition(p15) and increase size of /data partition(p14). In theory just decrease size of /sdcard partition is also work, but I have not test.

2. format /data but leave 16384 Bytes spare area at the footer of partition.(manual specify block/sector count when mkfs)

[Nokia Lumia 920] calinormy:
1.Try to reset your device to factory settings

2. Rewrite the full system image.
[Nokia Lumia 920] dxdy:
after update you must wait because system reinstall all apps and many of them not available in first few minutes (or hour) depend how long need to reinstall all apps...

if this not case, simply make hard reset to factory default (dont forget backup pictures, music, documents, etc) or flash ROM with Nokia Software Recovery Tool
[Nokia Lumia 920] GTRanushka:
tried reset, hard reset, re-flash

i tried all things that you have mentioned in your replies. hard reset, soft reset. reflash and waiting. but all things seems doens't work. before update it perfectly worked. :( but i don't know what has happened now. do you have any idea?
[Nokia Lumia 920] positiveg:
I am experiencing the same thing

And now coming on to Christmas time and Carnival here in SK, more pictures are expected to be taken. And that' sone reason why I got the phone in the first place I realise it takes some awesome photos.

Now it's just a joke. The camera app doesn't work and there seems to be no solution at fixing it. even for a a few days.

Cause hard and soft resets only work for a few minutes.

Total joke Nokia and or Windows be by having an update that totally bugs one of the main features of the phone.

I've realise even apps like FB etc reacts slow to open as well. but at least they open. the camera apps if it opens takes like 30 seconds, then if you switch off it and go back to it have to wait again or it might just send you back to the homescreen.

[Note Edge Themes and Apps] vndnguyen:
Go to the Menu > Other Tools > CSC Changer and see a list of available CSC in your device.

If there is XSG in the list, you can change to that CSC. Otherwise you have to download that firmware (using Menu > Firmware Browser) and flash via Odin.

What firmware did you install via Odin?

Find the firmware for XSG (UAE) by open the menu Firmware Browser, enter XSG into the CSC textbox and tap Go button to search.

that's what I install ( pic attached ).

As I mentioned before my device SM-915G and I want to change it to XSG and the only rom with XSG is UAE for SM-915F .

and that rom I cant install to my device and its giving me fail.

thanks
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] vndnguyen:
You may brick your device by flashing firmware from another model. So no need to risk yourself.

You can find ALL AVAILABLE firmwares for your model (N915G) by leave the CSC textbox empty (blank) and tap Go button to search.

As there is no N915G firmware for UAE now, there is nothing to do. You have 2 options: wait until it becomes available, or try the firmware for your model from another region. I see the following regions are currently available: Australia, India, Singapore.
