While I was searching for a phone I remember that a certain version of the G2 has a stylus out of the box (there is even a hole in the frame to allow the stylus to be stored inside). What kind of pen would that be? Or am I mixing it up with a G3?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyno-droid:
I have a n900w8 running cm11. I need to go back to stock.

I have a nandroid of my stock rom and was wondering if i can go back using my backup or if i need to use odin to downgrade?

Just want to make sure there are no issues with bootloaders etc if i restore my backup.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Well as technically Nandroid backups are just a clone of your previous OS you should be able to flash it just fine, BUT you should not. Cause in doing that you will face several problems, multiple apps force closing would be one of them. So yes, just wipe the phone first, I mean a complete wipe, then flash a stock ROM of your choice via Odin, root, then restore apps with their data manually using Titanium. I mean the option in Titanium which says install the missing apks only, just hit on that, not the whole system wide restore, cause that will create problem too.

I don't know what model is that though, I have a N9005, so what I said might not even be applicable for your model.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Better to flash the latest stock firmware for your device via Odin.

and restore app(s) later.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
First of all I would like to say that I have searched the forums and Google but to no avail. :( Hence I am starting this thread.

First of all the RAM, the free RAM on 4.3 (stock .205) is awful, sometimes I am down to about 70mb :eek: even after a clean boot I have around 250-300mb free. This is ****, my 2011 Xperia had better RAM management. Is there anything that can be done to fix this or does anyone know what uses so much RAM (I have de-bloated the ROM and have minimal apps, none of which eat significant RAM).

Secondly battery drain, whenever the alarm (stock Sony app) is on I get horrible battery drain and the android os uses excess mobile data which causes the battery drain (device never deep sleeps). It is a very annoying issue that I haven't been able to fix, I typically lose between 23%-30% over night at a rate of ~3% per hour.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions? :confused:

Any input is appreciated. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beespoison:
Wow, free RAM under 70 mb :confused: maybe u should check all of your running apps, each apps have a different memory usage and there is one app with much memory usage, and as we know, the bloatware is also use the memory even though they are not using it. When i'm on stock, i had never get free RAM under 150 mb, my phone is rooted and i'm using root uninstaller app to freeze some bloatware apps and uninstall them :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjustbob:
The RAM issue is a pretty common issue with our SP.

You can try some different custom ROMs in the development thread (Out of the ones I've tried OmniRom seems to have the most free RAM so far). Also, if you have root and you don'y want to remain on the stock ROM, try using Greenify for apps you don't want to constantly run.

WLD (wakelock detector) is another app you can install to see what apps are misbehaving and destroying your battery life
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Yeah, I tried some ROMs, including eXistenZ but to no avail. As for the battery issue it has something to do with the alarm/google play services/android os, but the funny thing is that eXistenZ does not have the battery drain.

[Moto 360] iMurderous:
So like the title says I want my watch to always be on. So not ambient mode I hate the on and off crap. I want a dimmed but always on watch face if possible. Not worried about battery. Any suggestions?
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
There's a launcher (?) I think called Swipify I've seen mentioned multiple times for this. There's also at least one face available for purchase on the Play Store that allows you to choose how long it stays on, including always on. I bought it for that gimmick but never really used it. I think it's the "A06 for Moto 360" face.

In any case, understand that "always on" won't make your watch any more a watch than it will a brick, as you're looking at probably less than one hour of battery life with the screen always on.
[Moto 360] iMurderous:
1 hour is exaggerating. Either way the whole point of these things should be to be a watch first and foremost, and a notification hub second. LG G watch has a always on option built in and it lasts all day just fine, so I do not think what im asking is too absurd.
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
Well, you're asking if there are apps to do that. I answered that much.

But as far as what you're hoping you'll get, you seriously need to readjust your expectations. It sounds like you didn't do your homework prior to buying this watch. Undoubtedly this is the nicest looking smart watch now. But the battery life is not great. I get about a full day's worth with the screen turning off constantly.

I can guarantee you, you will not get a full day's battery of this watch with the screen always on. I don't know much about the LG G Watch, but I also highly doubt the whole day of battery you're talking about is with the screen on always.

I get what you're saying. It would be ideal. But battery technology is not at a point where it can power a full LCD screen for a whole day on a single battery charge. Try either of the ones I suggested and see how far it gets you. I might do it just for testing purposes at some point.
[Moto 360] iMurderous:
Take it down a notch bud. I did a lot of research before I bought this device. Perhaps you should do some with the way screens operate. You can in other similar watches like the G watch have everything turn off and throttle down but keep the time on the screen. The g watch turns everything to black and keeps the time and date still on screen. No reason this watch cannot do the same. I was merely asking if an app was released yet that does this. As most apps like the one you listed does this but keeps the CPU throttled up and the screen drawing more power. Hence why the battery gets killed. Do some research before talking next time. there are a million videos on youtube showing you exactly what im talking about.

Love the watch not complaining, I just want to squeez all the goodness out of it I can.
[Moto 360] kloan:
The difference is because of the display technology. As you know (or may not?), LCDs illuminate the entire display, whereas OLEDs (LG, Asus, Samsung) only illuminate the individual pixels, thus reducing power consumption by utilizing a simpler display graphic to use as the 'always on' portion.

To have your Moto 360 always on would be a huge drain on the battery life because of the power consumption to illuminate the display. LCDs are simply not capable of selectively illuminating pixels.
[Moto 360] SilentAce07:
To be fair, the G watch is also LCD. The gear live is amoled.
[Moto 360] kloan:
Well I was referring to the R, which I assumed is what he was referring to as well... but if he's saying the LG G watch is capable of that, then I dunno what to say.
[Moto 360] SilentAce07:
The reason the g watch is able to is because it's built with a larger battery. I had the g watch briefly and it was nice in terms of battery but just didn't hold a candle to the 360 IMO. It is a quality device though.
[Moto 360] CCJ22:
I'd like an always on option as well for my moto 360.
[Moto 360] pakure:
The always on mode ...is not actually a always on totally. ..it just dims to show only the dials and not the back ground. ..the lg g watch R and the gear live with oled screens will burn in if they are totally always on. .

But yes. .using apps like facer..you can select which layer you can keep dimmed on always on mode on the lg g watch. ..but that will eat battery up.
[Moto 360] dangreene1:
WatchMaker lets you set up to 30s stay awake.
[Moto 360] garylgray:
Lol. Dude, you really need to do your research. You'd get MAYBE three hours max with the screen on like that. Your attitude against people who are trying to inform you and help you (you know because that's the point of your post where YOU asked for OUR help) is atrocious. If you knew it all you wouldn't need to ask this question. The first guy who responded to you gave you real experience and opinion, and you told him he was exaggerating and to "take it down a notch". Lol.

Ridiculous. Hope you find what you're looking for. Let us know the moment you can get a full day of screen on time with the 360. I won't hold my breath.

[Moto 360] Funkybooyea:
Not sure if this helps but like you I like a watch to be a watch and very close second I really like all the features for notifications that the smart watches make. I have had my Moto 360 for a little over a week now and I use it for keeping time and getting the basic notifications like SMS, Emails and Google Now info like weather. I do not have any other apps installed and with the Ambient Mode ON and brightness set to 2 I have been able to get 36 hours (at most) out of it with light to moderate use . The watch face I use is the preinstalled digital one. It dims just right but it will go to a black screen when there is very little movement detected. I can very slightly move my wrist and it will activate the dimmed time mode so I can see it without having to drastically twist my wrist and bring the watch up to my face.

Hope that helps.

If you find what you are looking please be sure to share as I am interested in this also.
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
Just to satisfy curiosity, I went ahead and tried this "always on" thing. I used the "A06 for Moto 360" face I mentioned in my initial reply, which is paid for on the Play Store so I won't link. It's not that great looking either, but it does have the option to have the watch Always On.

So, fully charged, I disconnected from the charger at 12:16 PM and changed the face to the one in question. I enabled Always On and set Brightness to max. With no usage of the watch other than to swipe away notifications and to use as a watch (i.e. looking at it for the time), the battery ran out exactly at 4:54 PM, or 4 hours and 38 minutes later. Admittedly, this was longer than my estimated one hour battery life, but again I wasn't doing anything with the watch. I didn't reply to messages, I didn't play games, I didn't check my heartbeat, I didn't control music. Only swipe away notifications and look at the time. Not quite 5 hours.

I guess it may be worth it if you're using a fancy face and going out for a date or something and you're fully charged before going. But it's useless as a daily driver with that kind of battery life.
[Moto 360] YanivC:
Your very wrong. First and foremost it should be a watch. I bought a pebble for that same reason. Now before you go saying it's different due to it's e-ink display, I also own a Microsoft band and it's a color screen. I have my band with the watch always on and I user the sleep monitor every night. It easily lasts through almost 2 days and that's with constant notifications and checking pulse often.

It can most definitely be done.
[Moto 360] pakure:
So a galaxy gear S with tizen OS and amoled screen. With a large display and 3g, WiFi,GPS and phone calling with only 300mah will work for 2 days....

The moto 360 will not... Just accept it and move along
[Moto 360] Beast84:
So what's the point of wanting the screen always on? Are your eyes on the screen with your hands at your sides? Are you trying to show off? I don't think the whole "it should be a watch first & foremost" thing is a good enough excuse. As far as I can see, I can tell the time just fine without the screen being on 24/7. As a matter of fact, I guarantee I can tell the time every single time you can if we check our watches at the same time. No added functionality. Decrease in battery life. I see no win here. But to each there own. Charge your watch every 3 hours. I'm happy charging mine every night.
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
It's definitely wanting others to see his watch when he's not looking at it. Otherwise they see a black screen. I wanted that too but then realized I couldn't and moved on.
[Moto 360] Spark1223:
I only get 10-14 hours out of mine but I have a bunch of apps installed. Not sure where the battery drain is because its not like most of them stay running. Maybe google fit is the big drain, but its a nice feature and I don't need much more than 12 hours. Hopefully in the future this will get an easier root (without the interface clock) and an underclock for more battery life. That's very possible. I don't need my watch running at 1 GHz and I'm willing to bet the kernel is a huge part of the battery problem (as well as the smaller battery). But hacks could fix the watch I think.
[Moto 360] icecicle:
You guys are really dragging this dude down yo, is it really unfathomable for you guys to understand why someone would want a watch screen to be on all the time?? I be in class sometimes and wanna just glance at my wrist without making a motion of bringing it up to my face like an idiot or shaking my wrist to get it to come on and just see the time real quick. And hey like that guy said it ran for 4+ hours with it always on so switch the face take it out and bring it hack to charge it most events people go to last under 5 hours so if u can get it always on for the duration of your whatever event I think that'd be great right?! But nah you guys are too on the whole 'its a smart watch for notifications and games and stuff' some people just want a stylish watch they can customize and actually have it always be on when they glance at it without unnecessary wrist motions. Just saying.
[Moto 360] petrofsky77:
IMO, if you are already comparing between Moto 360 and LG GW R and why the 360 can't what the GW R, then the most definite answer is you are already buying the wrong watch. You win some you lose some. Some watch have this other watch have that, they all have their plus and minuses.

[Moto 360] jollybluehornet:
I saw an app on the moto360 reddit forums a couple days ago where you could choose how long to leave the screen on, I cant remember what it was called and I cant seem to find it. You may have better luck than me. Sounds like it would be exactly what you are looking for.
[Moto 360] reisa:
Swipify.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.

Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.

If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.

To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:

adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)

fastboot getvar all

Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.

Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.

The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)

You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.

Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".

After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.
