[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_rav:
Nexus 7 2012 32GB wifi, Stock, Unlocked, Rooted, TWRP.

I am new to adb, but have used Wug's toolkit in the past. I attempted to sideload the Lollipop OTA zip through through Wug's toolkit. Everything was going well, but for some reason I got an error that stated that there was not enough room to install the update. I figured that was the end of that, but when I tried to reboot, it went straight to the stock recovery, and will not boot past that. Did some poking around in the toolkit, and found I didn't have fastboot anymore. (Also, I did not make a backup, stupid stupid, because I had recently wiped everything, and have the factory images downloaded). So, with the toolkit not getting me anywhere, I decided to try getting back to running through ADB. Read some tutorials, downloaded SDK, get that all set up so I can see where I am at. Command window, Type "adb devices", get "serial # sideload. Tried "adb reboot recovery", got no devices.

Probably should have just stopped but, since I knew I had USB debugging on, and all the newest drivers installed (just ran the toolkit) I figured why not try to sideload from here? Not enough Space again. Tried sideloading OTA 4.4.4(KTU84P) which is what I was running up to this point, and get unexpected contents error in "system/app/basicdreams.apk" "status 7".

Top of screen says:

Android system recovery (3e)

KTU84P

Long story short; Stuck in stock recovery, No Fastboot, Apply update from ADB works, but haven't anything to finish installing.

Thanks for any help, you guys are awesome, and give me way too much info for my own good, obviously.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_rav:
Got back to working at this. WUG's toolkit fixed it. Just like every answer, in every thread with similar problems said it would:o. Using the flash stock +unroot and the soft brick/bootloop option. Since i was on Bootloader version 4.23, I flashed 5.0. Not sure what was different this time, as I tried the same process last night.

Anyway, anyone having the same troubles should give that a try.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxdil:
Is there any standalone app to do this? With the exception of launchers, roms, or xposed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
Not exactly, you can change the dpi and that will allow a bigger grid but everything will get smaller too. I'm using 445 dpi currently, but I tried 400 dpi and that did add a column and row to the grid. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-nexus-5-dpi-changing-zip-t2673704

I think this is your only option without changing launchers since we needed xposed to modify the google launcher.

I rooted my phone and was about to install Nexboost V6 rom from following thread

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-nexboost-cm11-camera-t2852519

Below were the steps given.

Flash 11.0.A.6.8 firmware (4.0.4 ftf)

Flash Poseidon Kernel

Boot into CWM

Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache

Format system

Flash the ROM, enjoy your Sony Xperia Nexus

I performed first two steps and tried to boot into recovery but when restarting device it only keeps on vibrating and green/blue led pops up continously.

Before this sometimes sony xperia logo kept appearing and when i pressed volume up/down for booting into recovery, it kept restarting by itself.

I dont know if my recovery got affected or what..

Please help me in this regard.

Thanx in advance... :):):):):)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:
hello, first thing first, no CWM if your bootloader is locked!!!!

okay, these steps can be done one a time, so make sure where the problem is exactly..

first..take off the battery and put it in again and FLASHMODE. flash the ftf and make a full boot if the phone boots with no problems then you can continue.

then, power off and FASTBOOT MODE mod and make the second step that is flashing UltraGamerHD's kernel and make a full boot to system again...

and so..... if your phone didnt face any problems you can install the ROM.

(make sure you download the kernel from the official website)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
I have unlocked the bootloader. Now the guy from that post of Nexboost Rom quoted

" Retry the process.

Btw, I made a mistake.

The version number of the FTF is 11.1.A.0.68, not 11.0.A.6.8 "

I have found that ftf file and is in download.

Do that make a difference in my procedure. ??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:
oh yes (unexpected mistake) lol

dowload 4.0.4 ICS from here

for xperia E DUAL:

11.1.A.0.68 =4.0.4=ICS

11.3.A.3.1=4.1=JB
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
Ohk fine.. I will get back when it will finish, i hope i dont have to face any other issue.

Anyways thnx a lot for ur help. Keep helping

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
Hey TheBrainCandy,

Firmware and kernel were installed successfully but i faced an issue while installing ROM, it showed some error as :

" E:Error in /sdcard/NexboostV5.zip

Status 7

Installation aborted. "

I surfed related to this error and found out to edit the binary script, also followed it but still there is no progress..

M stucked again at this point. Looking forward for ur valuable help.

Please help, Thanx in advance
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:
i saw your posts there and the "installation aborted" is just a quoted message that doesnt affect the ROM or the installation so you better refer it the ROM owner maybe he could help you other than that,

make sure that your system/ is mounted,,, just make sure you followed the instructions if you're facing a problem with this ROM, you may wanna look at my jellybean ROM. good luck once again
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
Thanx a lot friend.. Please give me link of your thread..
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:

im working on update so maybe you need to wait, its your choice
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
yeah friend that was just a qouted message. I got succes in installing ROM,

but again i got an error at first boot, when it started i got a message :

" Unfortunately Setup Guide has stopped "

Sorry for asking too many questions, but after reaching at this point, i dont want to go back. Please help if possible. Thanx
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:
setup guide doesn't matter, if the phone works fine after that message then yeah not a problem, if its stuck there then its the ROM's fault not your installation steps
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishanamlani:
Ok so do i need to reinstall the ROM ?? Will that work ??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheBrainCandy:

I was just doing a silly mistake.. I skipped one step of format system from mount and storage of CWM.. I didnt knew that.

Thanx again for your help and support.

European version Unova Ironman 320x320, 1GB/8GB, 4.4 Android

Not IP67 as stated by Umeox Mobile. The watch is completely dead.

I've had the 320x320 resolution watch for a few weeks, here are my issues:

1. As a potential sports watch I was taken aback by the bulky size and steel body weight of 121g. I'm not sure if it’s practical for sports, the sheer weight might damage or loosen the strap with time if you run a lot with it.

2. The top button did not have a same clicking feel as the bottom button.

3. I can see the glue around the side camera. see photo.

4. The charging socket is heavy, it does not stick well magnetically while charging, if you move the watch its easily comes apart. You have to hold the charger against the watch if you want to use the watch while charging.

5. Difficult to open the back cover to insert an SD card and its not recommended by Unova.

6. The OS need rooting to get to the deeper settings; most of the settings are hidden/locked.

7. Google Maps keeps crashing with location is turned on ...keeps doing it.

8. The sensors are only useful if there are apps for it.

9. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on battery it went from 97% to 70% in one hour, but it was on the first charge.

10. Speaker is below average, not too loud; I would depend on it as an alarm.

*** UPDATES: ***

1. AliExpress seller, $199.80 + low shipping (EU 320x320 models only) please confirm with him first.

I don't have the watch yet, unsure about the FM radio, the rest are all 'no'.

[Other SmartWatches] SW_Tech:
Anyone here who has this watch in use on a daily basis? I am thinking about buying this watch. So any opinions on this product here? I am wondering if you can flash a custom rum such as cyanogenmod on it?
[Other SmartWatches] Gah73:
I got this with the idea to use it as a running watch, It arrived on Wednesdays but I had to go away for a few days so only had a few hours to play with it.

I got back this afternoon and have had another few hours with it.

So here are my initial impressions.

First of all it is very big and quite heavy at 120 grams.

The screen is very good and the icons of your applications are quite clear, however with certain apps like endomondo, runkeeper and micoach when you open the app the screen either doesn't show all of the information or squashes it.

Other apps such as Facebook and YouTube etc. all work well.

I am disappointed that there is no SD Card slot because I thought that it was going to have one. After I e-mailed Unova I have been informed that there is an SD card slot but you have to take the back of the watch to reach it. In their words "we don't allow end users to open and install themselves."

I won't be using the watch as a phone and do not have a Micro sim card to test it.

The WiFi and GPS seem to function well with Endomondo and Runkeeper both getting a GPS signal in my apartment quite quickly. I haven't tested it outside yet.

The biggest problem I have is that the watch does not recognize my BT heart rate monitor. I have to use a separate app to find it which is okay but Adidas micoach won't connect and neither will Endomondo the two apps that I would have used.

Runkeeper and Wahoo fitness both do find the heart rate monitor though I haven't yet tried it running.

I haven't done a battery test yet.

Overall I am not entirely unhappy with the watch but neither am I blown away by it.

I paid $250 with shipping to France which compared to any of the Android wear watches makes it quite good value with added functionality and certainly when you compare it to some of the more specific GPS sport watches which can run up to $400+.

I have also been told that it is not very water proof so if you do decide to take the plunge be careful getting it wet.
[Other SmartWatches] SW_Tech:
Too Big!

Thanks Gah73 for your detailed answer. The biggest problem i see, and you said it also, in those china smartwatches (or you should better say smartphones) is the fact, that the thickness of this devices is just too high! I saw a screenshot which compared other smartwatches with the Unova Ironman and the Unova is just huge and doesn't look sexy at all (however, the hardware in it is quite sexy though ;)). I think i will wait for other devices which could replace a smartphone functionality wise but are not bigger then 12 mm.

[MENTION=6130124]Gah73[/MENTION]

It would be really great if you could post some photos of the watch (from the sides, from top, from the active display)! :)
[Other SmartWatches] Gah73:
Having spent a few more days with the watch I have to say it is growing on me.

The thickness doesn't bother me so much but the weight is very noticeable.

I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 coming this week and I will choose between them.

I will take some photos of them together but it won't be until the weekend.

I have a feeling that I will be keeping the ironman due to the limitations of the Sony.
[Other SmartWatches] pyefox:
Thank you for posting your experience. I am thinking about getting this for my wife to use when she runs. She doesn't like having to carry her phone with her.

- Is the speaker loud enough to listen to music when you run? (I suspect not)

- Have you tried pairing it with bluetooth running earphones?

- Is there any chance you could install "C25K Couch to 5K by RunDouble" and see if it is usable? (I realize that is a big request, but that is the app my wife uses and there is no point in me getting the watch if it doesn't work). I really wish there was a way to test apps on a small screen to see if they would work without having to get the device first.

It seems like if xposed works on this watch the DPI could probably be changed so that most apps could be made to work.

Thanks again for posting - it really helps those of us who are looking!
[Other SmartWatches] Gah73:
RunDouble

The speaker is surprisingingly loud but probably not loud enough to listen to music whilst running.

I have had no problem connecting BT headphones, I use Jabra sport and also have some Plantronics headphones and a Plantronics headset.

I installed the app and it worked well, I connected headphones and a BT heart rate monitor, they both worked.

An advert took up some of the screen but it was very usable I think.

I had previously changed the font size from large to small because when it was large some apps did not fit the screen very well. With it set to small the apps fit better but writing is harder to read.
[Other SmartWatches] SW_Tech:
Thank you very much for your answer,

i am really looking forward to some detailed photos :good:

Maybe you have some answers for my questions:

Can you switch between some different launchers?

Is it possible to root this device and install custom roms on it?

Can you install normal Google Play Store apps?
[Other SmartWatches] Gah73:
I haven't tried any different launchers.

The software is pretty good on the phone already.

There is a specific watch launcher on the play store.

You can install all apps on the phone but they might not size very well.

I couldn't log into Google music as I couldn't select my account.

I don't know of any custom ROMs for it, I read that the adidas running watch is based on Android so that would be good if it could be flashed.

Unova have an app that you can install on your phone and then you receive notifications on your watch. That works quite well.
[Other SmartWatches] SW_Tech:
Okay, thanks for your answers. You are really helping me on choosing the right smartwatch :)

Can you shoot some photos of the watch from different angles (side, top, bottom etc.)? The images on aliexpress are actually meaningless.

Issues

Thanks G. I'll let you write the good points :)

For those still deciding, please post number 1 for issues.
[Other SmartWatches] SW_Tech:
My number one why i am still struggling with buying this device:

It is just too thick :(
[Other SmartWatches] pyefox:
Arg - now I'm worried based on the non-IP67 water failure. I had a heartrate watch fail due to humidity/sweat and this is a lot of money to have fail. Simple1i is much bolder than I am, but it is good to know that it isn't at all waterproof. I may cancel the order I just made.

I don't really understand what is going on in the design/marketing process for a lot of these watches - it seems like for a sports watch there are a few key features:

1) GPS that actually works

2) Bluetooth that is stable and can stream music and connect to heartrate monitor

3) Some minimum level of water resistance so that humidity/sweat/light rain won't cause failures

4) Ability to run (at least some) popular android running/exercise tracking/coaching apps

5) Built in heartrate monitoring (optional but good - it seems like most of the monitors are inaccurate, although the MS watch seems to be better than most)

All of the pieces are there in various watches, but nobody seems to consider support GPS running/exercise apps and music streaming to be a priority. I know many people want a smartwatch for other things, but it seems like a good running/exercise watch would have a hungry audience (in general dedicated sports watches right now cost far more and offer far less than these android smartwatches).

I don't need a phone and data built in, although it is nice - I guess - I'd personally never use it. Wifi is probably needed in order to transfer data if we want to use common android apps, but I'd never use it while running.

I actually briefly considered the Microsoft watch because it has built in coaching/exercise routines, although they are probably more limited than I would like. The fact that it lacks the memory to stream music kills it though.

The Sony SW3 is the only alternative I can think of, but it requires a newer phone (my wife's is on Android 4.2) and the support for its GPS is very limited right now (plus I think you are limited to Google Play Music with a basic interface for playback right now). I can probably work around the newer phone requirement, but the only Android Wear GPS apps seem to be trackers - they have no coaching support that I can see.

Maybe I need to wait longer - Sigh ...

Specifically we understand there is a November 2014 ROM although anything later than the August 2014 one we have might help too.

Since the watch is the same basic hardware as the Omate TS, we are try to use the Unova ROM to bring them up to KitKat.

Then lied again when when my watch died,

Then admitted it that she sent me a faulty watch

still would not give me refund

I had to dispute it with paypal

I won the case and sent the watch recorded delivery, she still lied and said she didn't receive it

I had to dispute again, finally paypal took pity on me and gave me refund.

Help me, I need the original unova ironman firmware of 320*320 1G/8G 3G call/data

Help me, I need the original unova ironman firmware of 320*320 1G/8G 3G call/data version.

Recently I bought this 320*320 version product which is capable of 3G(wcdma2100) call/data.

The 3G voice calling worked well, but the 3G data connection didn't work even though the indicators showed 3G data was on.

So I found a different firmware(IronMan_1.1_2.2.rar, build# unova ironman v1.1(2.2)20141016) which might be modified and flashed it into mine.

But the situation got worse. Now the 3G voice call doesn't work, either.

And I didn't backup the first installed factory firmware(build# v1.1_foreign), so I can't go back to the first state.

If there is anyone who has the original 320*320 version firmware,

please share it with me.

Hi, thank you for your experience with the Ironmsn.

You say it is difficult to open the watch. I would say that is nearly impossible because you cannot find a screwdriver or could you open it? If you could do it let me know how you made it, because I want to insert snother SD card with the european software, because I have problems to do it with the PC.

Please let me know. Thank you.
