[Samsung Gear S] ogre8:
I think i can see three different modes for using the gear S.

1. Phone companion. Use the gear S like a gear/gear 2 and ignore the internal SIM capability.

2. Phone companion with occasional standalone use. Same as option 1 most of the time, but occasionally transferring calls from the main phone to gear to allow usage without the phone. This appears to be main role intended by Samsung. To be practical, this requires the phone to originate and answer calls using the phone number of the companion phone.

3. Tablet companion mode.

Use the gear S as the phone, and either a traditional phone or tablet as the companion device.

This means having the primary phone number SIM in the watch, and the sim in the phone/tablet being used for data only.

For people who always have their watch, but not always their phone or tablet, this mode could be ideal.

Yes, the watch is only 3g, but is that not sufficient for phone calls? Isn't 4g most useful for data?

What is lacking for this 'mode 3' is to be able to use the phone as a bluetooth headset for calls made using the watch. Ideally, you could even make calls from the phone user interface, but with the watch SIM being used to actually connect the call.

Would anyone else like to use this hypothetical 'mode 3'? Or use the gear S this way even with current limitations?
[Samsung Gear S] jrtireman:
Mode 3 sound interesting. I have tried to figure a way to do this but have been unsuccessful. I have a windows phone that I tried to do this with since it want work in mode 1 or 2 but I guess phones aren't made to act as a Bluetooth headset. Who knew. Lol
[Samsung Gear S] jerome.carney:
I'm in mode 3. Ever since getting an iPad mini 2 years ago, I found myself using the iPhone less and less — I have poor vision and switching to the iPad helped a lot with eye strain. I did still use my phone to make a few calls a day, as well as for music streaming and GPS tracking every morning on my daily run, but those task are now happily reassigned to the Gear S.

It's hard to describe just how liberating it feels to head out every morning for my run with no phone strapped to my arm.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I use my Tab S and Gear S I can make calls/the the and surf the net with both. My wifi Tab S and Gear S with a number perfect combo every now and then I pair my Gear S with my Note 4 even then I sidesync my Note 4 to my Tab S
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I was hoping I could get to mode 3, by buying a Wifi Tab 4 7 inch, but I can't pair it with my Gear s, so I would not be able to get rid of my Note 2 anytime soon.

If I could pair my iPad Air LTE with the Gear S, I'd be all set and would sell the Note 2 in a heartbeat. I find the device to be too big to be truly portable, and the screen too small to be comfortable on the eyes.

Ooor, phone manufacturers could finally start making very very small smart watches with full Android/iOS. The wonders I could do with a full Android Gear S and more storage......
[Samsung Gear S] ogre8:
The tab S is an interesting combo. I would love to pair with the note4, but still have the main sim in the gear S, with the high speed data of the note being for data. That way i could leave the note 4 behind very often. I assume the tab s is an 8.4? With 4G as you say you make call with both devices?
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
WiFi Tab S and Gear S I use Google voice for both numbers
[Samsung Gear S] caderoux:
I very much have considered that mode ever since the Omate Truesmart, which I was unable to get reliably working as a 3G device. My N7 tablet has a SIM and now that Google Voice offers calling over data in Hangouts, it is certainly possible to get rid of the phone and just have the watch and the tablet. I guess I would probably have to sideload the Gear Manager onto the Nexus 7.
[Samsung Gear S] Randull:
This is similar to my use, previous to getting my Gear S I had no phone. I used Google Voice on my Nexus 7 to make the rare phone call but I made this purchase to use "Mode 3". I've been unable to get them to play nicely together, I've tried a couple different side loading options but am currently just using it in standalone mode.
[Samsung Gear S] jlczl:
I have a usage #4. Standalone all the time.

I initially paired it with my Note 4 but now I only use it as a standalone device paired to my Samsung Circle bluetooth headset. I use it at the gym and on my runs or whenever I just don't want to carry my phone around. I use Google Voice so all my calls and text messages get routed to my watch regardless of the fact it is not connected to my N4 via bluetooth nor remotely.

The smartwatch I use as a companion to my N4 is the Moto 360.
[Samsung Gear S] esseff:
I use mode 5 (two phones). . .

Gear S as my work phone and Note 4 as my private phone.

Just set 'Use Mobile Networks' to 'always on'. Messages to 'use gear number'

All my work calls/messages go to my Gear under all conditions.

All my private calls/messages to phone and Gear under all conditions.

Utterly perfect for my modus operandi. Solves all my problems and makes my life much easier.

The Gears S is the most stunningly fantastic piece of technology I have come across (I am an I T consultant by profession) and I am in awe of the engineers that developed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HarrisY:
So I'm having a bit of an issue flashing a recovery on my NH7 4.4.4 HLTESPR Note 3. I've had it rooted/ROM'd for a few months now without any issues. I used my upgrade to buy an LG G3 for $1 and gave it to someone else, and when they did this, they had to deactivate my Note and activate the G3 for the upgrade to apply. After that, they reactivated my Note 3. I was getting data connection at Best Buy immediately after, but later that night I noticed I had completely lost data connectivity so I went into TWRP, made a backup, and reflashed to a stock/rooted recovery I had made prior so that I could access the profile and PRL updates.

I applied the updates and reestablished data connection. Then I tried to boot into recovery from TWRP to revert to my ROM. No go. I try it with the button method - no go. Then I went to Root Checker and it told me my device no longer had root access. Super User still installed but root was gone. So then I ran it through CF-auto-root again, and tried to flash TWRP from the TWRP manager a few times but it crashed each time. Then I tried to use Flashify to flash TWRP from my SD card. Seemed to work, so I used TWRP manager to reboot into recovery and it went into a boot loop. Odin'd back to NH7 and retried the whole process. Now even when I flash TWRP from odin, I go into TWRP Manager and it doesn't detect a recovery. I've tried a few different versions of TWRP and used Odin, TWRP manager, and Flashify to try and flash a recovery but it just doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what's going on. I've been doing basic rooting/ROM flashing for a few years now, and I'm pretty comfortable with Samsung devices but this is unlike anything I've encountered. Anything will help! Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
Have you tried a full revertin? Stock everything including recovery and starting over with the root process?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottocs:
Basically just as the title says, I can't reboot into TWRP. It shows TWRP, then boots regularly.

Is this a 5.0.1 compatibility issue with TWRP or what?

I can't get root without TWRP and I can't get into TWRP.

Thanks for help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
TWRP 2.8.1.0 boots fine, 2.8.2.0 causes issues atm so flash 2.8.1.0.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottocs:
Ahhhh, great! Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slater_g:
Just as a follow up:

I am on 5.0 and in Android my new TWRP Backups (2.8.1.0) are not shown as a file but rather as a (useless) 0 byte file. Help?

EDIT: Seems like TWRP puts my backups into some other location on my storage so that Lollipop does not see them.

Alright. 2.8.2.0 is broken and 2.8.1.0 puts my backup where I can't reach them conveniently... What now?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Go to the twrp thread and search restorecon. It's a well covered issue
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
I noticed same thing yesterday, and I could not found any solution, so I flashed 5.0.1 again and i´m now comlpetely stock and shearching solution

Never heard of it, but I shearch now. When I use TWRP filemanager under recovery then this file is correct location (data/media/0/TWRP... ) But under my mixplorer I saw only some TWRP file 0 byt. And after some reboots I even did not saw any filer /root folder. ( it looks like same problem as 5.0 and then permissev boot.img fixed this )
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slater_g:
Thanks. Looked it up but figured that TWRP itself is capable of mounting the device as MTP on my computer and listing the folders correctly. So accessed my backup from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
so ..solution was.....?:confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
thanks this almost helped me.

now when I open Mixplorer then I see SD card/TWRP folder, but still not Backup folder.

But when I go trough /root/data/media/0/TWRP/ then I can see Backups/05c847******/my backup.

can I run some other command in terminal to activate SD card/TWRP location also? ( this location should be /root/storage/emulated/0/TWRP....or.... /root/storage/emulated/legasy/TWRP).

This didnt helped me, I just give up and wait. I dont like if something don't work properly.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
ok.. then I did everything correctly. after that I manage to see TWRP folder and inside this same 0 bit BACKUP folder.

I try tomorrow again, I made a clean install and I have stock right now. ( I flashtomorrow twrp 2.8.1.0 ( 2.8.2.0 seems to be buggy right now), then supersu2.40 and then try " su (enter) restorecon -FR /data/media/0/*" again and let You know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
Hi. So I flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0, then flashed superSU 2.40. Then run in Terminal this su restorecon -FR /data/media/0/* command. Then I rebooted in recovery (twrp) and made a nandroid backup.

Then I rebooted and opened my file manager MiXplorer. Under SD I see TWRP foledr but inside this there is unknown BACKUP file (location: /storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUP )

But when I go /data/media/0/TWRP/Backup then I see this file

problem is that Windows sees /storage/emulated/0/TWRP location and I can´t get access to this backup file.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You need to delete the unknown backups file then run the command. If that still gives you issues, do a titanium backup, nandroid backup, move the nandroid backup anywhere on your sdcard using a root explorer, copy the data back to your computer and factory reset including wiping sdcard / storage... Maybe even flash factory userdata.img using fastboot.

Then boot into your wiped device, go through initial setup and copy your sdcard contents back and put your nandroid in the correct place. Restore it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
I ran this command before I made a nandroid backup. And I tried delete this unkonown backup file and now I can't see under /root any files ( No Items ).

I had wiped sd card, userdata. I made flashall.bat with factory image.

I had almost same problem with 5.0 and then this LRX21O-permissive-boot file helped me? are this bootimage same as 5.0.1?

EDIT: Soo strage..

I flashed francos r69 kernel and then I went in to recovery and I restored everything from this backup what I made to testing this problem. And now looks like everything is working. I see now TWRP folder and inside backup file and I also see now files under /root. ( now after restore with stock boot/kernel and no problems ).

looks like somehow flashing francos kernel fixed my problem.

EDIT2: after restoring sms with titanium I can't see again any files under /root folder. But everything is ok with this TWRP folder under sdcard/twrp.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inSaN1Ty_X:
Hi

I'm currently running Terminus + CodeBlue kernel and having serious issues with push notifications. Pretty much only notification that I get when screen is locked, is calls.

All apps update when they are opened but not a second before. I have autosync etc on. When I'm on my WiFi whatsapp sometimes does not fetch new messages even if I open the app however on 4G it does that.

AFAIK this was not a issue for me on stock 5.0. Anyone having similar issues or am I alone on this one. I've done 10+ Clean flashes on the ROM and kernel..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nh97103:
It is a bit annoying, but you learn to live with it. And anyway, this will be fixed when we get Lollipop. With Lollipop, we'll be able to set which apps have access to what folders on our SD card. So, we'll be able to set apps to have access to the entire SD Card, simply one folder, and/or everything in between. It's just one more reason to be excited about Android 5.0. :)

Had my note 3 rooted, all my music, vids, pics on my 64GB sdcard and organized. Had all the apps that download or save those files saving them to the download folder on my sd then I would put in the correct place. Now its basically unusable. I save stuff to it with the my files system file explore and some of the files will just dissappear after a while. Such BS!

Short story - pictures come out crappy. Usually blurry and usually washed out looking photos with default samsung camera. Possibly too much light being let in? Not sure.

My girlfriend has had a stock unrooted at&t galaxy s4 since a few months after it was released and has done all the updates. The photos have come out like this since day one. Usable but nothing to tout and when comparing them to other galaxy s4 owners, you can notice the difference. Hasnt done a reset the entire time shes had it but im wondering if that might fix it. She also refuses to let me reset it since its set up exactly how she likes and doesnt want to have to redo it (i know, i know).

Any thoughts or suggestions how to fix this issue?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iFloButta:
First post here in xda so please bear with me.

Device is a Tmobile LgG2 D801 4.4.2 kk. although i have been delaying the 4.4.4 update for a few days because i wanted to try out a few other roms first. SO my phone is 4.4.2 before i started messing around

After much reading on how to root, custome recover and rom my device i decided to give it a shot.

my approach was as follows..

1) towelroot - to root the device

2) then Auto-Rec to install TWRP

Since installing TWRP the phone wouldnt leave the TRWP menu, so i typed the code that previous people have suggested

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

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

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

after rebooting after entering the codes my phone simply is stuck in a LG logo bootloop.

only thing that changes the LG logo is a dead battery or if i hold the power button forever, but then it quickly goes back to the logo.

download mode does not work.

I would seriously appreciate some input on this one guys!

i dont care how its done, i just want this phone operational again, thanks!

This is a real pain when they do not answer and their voicemail comes on and I need to leave a message. I have to turn off my phone when this happens

I have cleaned it, blown in the area where the proximity sensor sits with a straw ( did not have air compressor can) worked for about a couple of days then it stuffs up again
