[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidsEATapples86:
I have been having major issus with my camera: sometimes it takes over a minute to focus and it has become extremely annoying when trying to take pictures. Furthermore, when using Chrome and the standard web browser, it almost always fails to load gmail. It just keeps repating the loading bar cycle forever until I stop it. The only web browser that doesn't seem to have any issues is Fire Fox. Has anyone encountered these problems and if so are there ways to fix them or am I better off getting my phone replaced?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amk19:
Try hard reset and flash Stock firmware using ODIN.
[Moto 360] trdspectacoma:
Has anyone noticed that they lessened the effect of the vibration? I wish there was a setting for that
[Moto 360] Oskar-2:
I haven't noticed something like that for my watch.
[Moto 360] 640k:
did you change your watch band? i've noticed the position of the watch impacts the "quality" of the vibration. short of that, the vibration is just as strong as it was before. seems like an odd thing to change without change-logging it.
[Moto 360] Whoareyou:
Im not getting any vibration at all from anything after the update, not when I power on the watch or from opening wwrae mini launcher
[Moto 360] maximus96:
for gmail, i get an extra vibration after i swipe right and click delete...minor annoyance
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
The vibration is definitely lighter after the 5.0.1 update. I surmise that it's part of their effort to extend battery life. I, too, wish there was a control for that like ambient.
[Moto 360] Kokanee483:
I'm not getting ANY vibration for notifications after the update, really hoping they fix this soon as it's the whole point of a smart watch. Have tried restarting and resetting to no avail.
[Moto 360] 640k:
i don't see how people are getting zero vibration. i'd send the watch back. i don't think there's a way to turn it off without also turning off the notifications.
[Moto 360] JCrichton:
I find this annoying also. Can't believe they would add this "feature" without the ability to disable it.
[Moto 360] HuStLaZ:
ditto. I liked it earlier when it would just delete silently.

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone have experience connection USB devices to Artemis?

USN HDD, Card readers. USB hubs.

I am thinking of trying to connect an USB HDD but just wanted to know if anyone done it before
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jamin100:
Sofaford, if you get this working let us know over at http://www.xda-orbit.com

I would love to be able to use my external laptop hard drive with my orbit
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kinski:
Due to the USB bus structure ,it is not possible to connect other devices except a host like a PC to the Artemis. The Artemis has only a device controller on board, but You need a host controller, if You will link the USB HDD to the PDA. There are some other PDA's with build in hosts in the market

I owned note 2, 3 and now 4. I never had this issue. This is a random issue after screen captured it just saves the image and doesn't allow to write on top of the image.

In order to get the screen write back, I have to restart phone OR go in app manager in "Screen Write" I have to clear data ( gets annoying).

Any tip on fixing this issue?

Thanks!

Phone: Nexus 4 running on CM 11 nighty 2014-12-12

Hi guys, the following happened to me and it's making me crazy:

- Dropped my N4 into the toilet ~10 days ago.

- After the drop my status LED was permanently on. I opened the phone and cleaned it: status LED running fine again.

- Recognize the microphone isn't working anymore

- Ordering new daughterboard and replace it

- Recognize everything is working fine BUT while calling someone I don't hear anything and the called person doesn't hear me.

- Thought to myself: ****, I destroyed the phone

- Doing another upgrade to CM with cache/dalvik wipe: stil no sound

- via web research I see that it's a bug and has nothing to do with me dipping the phone

So I was quite happy but now I have a ****in battery drain all the time as you can see on the screenshots that I took after leaving my phone pretty untouched over night:

Is this a software error? Or could it be a water damage issue somehow?

:(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] loneBoat:
It's a shame really, since I love EVERYTHING else about this watch - good price, snappy processor, GPS, WiFi (not even sure what that will bring eventually), NFC.

But with this thing serving primarily as a watch on my wrist, I just can't stand the ambient screen. From pretty much any angle it is a low-contrast, mustard-y yellow.

I'm looking at the LG R watch now. It's $50 more, and is missing a bunch of features, but the screen is GREAT. :'-(

I really wanted to like this watch! Please XDA, talk me into keeping it!!

[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
The LG P-OLED screen can burn in... Otherwise I possibly had bought it aswell.

I love the sw3 and especially the ambient mode screen and GPS. Its looks like a compromise between a e-ink and LCD..

But maybe it's a kind of different tastes.

Send with Tapatalk on Sony Z2
[Sony Smartwatch 3] loneBoat:
Good point about the burn-in. I just searched over on the LG R watch forums and there's some horror stories of burn-in after just a week. :-o That may be a deal-breaker for me.

Hah! You may have talked me into staying on SW3 just as I requested - thanks! :highfive:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] foxfire235:
It's a garbage screen on a first-gen looking product. I returned mine for the same reason.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
I haven't gotten mine yet but have played with it in store. I wouldn't say it's garbage. Is it on par with other android wear devices? Probably not. However, just as another user stated above, its sort of a mix between e ink and color. It seems to be helping to deliver great battery life with it too. Also, with the update it seems you guys can turn off the feature of activating the screen arm movement. So with this screen you can leave it on always on mode and still be able to see the screen without killing battery. All the android wear devices are first gen tech, but the Sony SW 3 still offers so much more than any of the other watches. For that, I can certainly deal with the screen negatives. Even though it does offer positives so its not completely bad, therefore back to my point that I wouldn't call it garbage.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nrseife:
I like the screen...in my office or while outdoor, I can look at it at any time and almost any angle and can see the time w/o artifiially tilting my arm, or pressing a button. The screen is always on and I get easly 2 days...that is worth a lot to me. My 2 cents....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
No matter how you look at it the pro's outweigh the con's.And if you can't live with then just return it and I'll keep mine.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Calvin Gross:
+1 :good:

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

Good point. It's a major flaw of OLED screen. SW3's transflective screen is the perfect choice for ambient mode. It's more readable in bright sunlight. Honestly, transflective LCD is born for outside activities.

I got my first SW3. The screen is too yellow with a small dark spot at the bottom of the screen. I returned it immediately and now the 2nd one is really good.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vitaminxero:
I disagree. Try taking your smartphone and let the sun shine on the screen (or a bright lamp) and lower the brightness. The whites and blacks will be very similar in color to the SW3's screen. I'm currently using the Odyssey watchface and sometimes it takes a while for the full watchface to turn on so I get the opportunity to seen the ambient screen with the backlight on. Whites are white on it. What I would like is for the ambient light sensor to turn on the backlight at minimal brightness in low light conditions.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] beowulf6:
my device is very white. It is of course no OLED screen that are over saturated mostly but i definetly see no yellow tint there on white (maybe a really tiny bit more yellowish but really nothing i notice at all in normal use).

And having the watch always on is such a huge + in my opinion. Yes you can't see the screen in low light situations. But honestly.

People are never happy. When the backlight would be always on some people would complain that the watch is always making light in the dark. :)

(which would annoy me probably more)

If you want correctly displayed colors you would need to calibrate your screens.

Who does that for home usage here?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Apb:
It's definitely not first gen. I had first gen smartwatch from Sony, this one is ten times better :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vitaminxero:
I would like the option for a low backlight on low light (current low backlight settings are too bright to begin with). I suppose that's what custom ROMs/root apps are for.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lightofhonor:
I like it on mine. The default faces are pretty bad on it in ambient mode, but I built ones for it on Facer that make it really easy to read.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mattnmag:
I'm not sure if you had something like this in mind ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57615301 ) ...but I'm using this app and it lets me lower the brightness down to where it's much more comfortable for using my watch in bed at night. The developer is letting us try it out for free until 12/21... but I went ahead and bought it for a buck from the Play Store. :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] AstroDigital:
Grown to love ambient mode, except for complete darkness I can read the watch fine.

I have a Gear Live, try to go out in the sun and read the time, this watch no problem.

I purchased Facer, made myself a digital watch face with huge numbers that makes the watch even more visible in direct sun
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supersonic64126:
Agreed! I live in Florida (the sunshine state) and spend lots of time outdoors. Our days are long, it's almost always sunny, and the sun is INTENSE! I got this watch specifically because of this display. Try reading an OLED display outdoors in Florida sun. Even my Note4 with its high-brightness outdoor mode is barely readable. Yet my SW3 is clear as day, with or without the backlight. Yes, it definitely doesn't look as pretty indoors as the OLED screens, but for my use its perfect. Not like I'm watching movies on it or anything. I'm glad Sony decided to carry over the transflective tech from the SW2...it was a bold move but it's one of the things that sets this product apart. If you don't like it, there are plenty of competing products on the market.

I just wish there was a way to disable the backlight under any ambient light conditions, like my SW2. One of the firmware updates for the SW2 introduced a smarter backlight that stayed off, even when in use, when there was enough ambient light, like outdoors. While it makes no difference in appearance, it helps conserve battery.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] heavyhms:
Transflective screens are also installed on all Garmin outdoor standalone GPS: if you want a well readable screen on EVERY situation you need a transfective.... NOT a AMOLED.

Amoled is much contrasted and wonderful on artificial light or on low natural light, but is a pain during summer outdoor activity (and need maximum power consumption to be barely readable)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wmurch3:
The transflective display is one of the big selling points of this watch if you ask me. It's visible in pretty much any light except very low. I don't have to turn the backlight on to see it (saves battery) and it's viewable in direct sunlight. This is a huge plus for anyone taking this thing out for runs or bike rides. I'm a long distance runner and use this watch exclusively for tracking and music, it works great!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
The screen on the Sony Smartwatch 3 is the best, hands the fak down!! Always on and viewable, just as watch suppose to be.

Its comical sporting a watch thats turned off until you put it up in front of your grill to turn ON...gayness to the fullest.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] AstroDigital:
Stop the watch from automatically waking, ambient mode always be my dream.

Press the button is the only way to wake the display. (The battery life would double)

Anybody that hates ambient mode never used this watch outside in direct sunlight.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] burrlee76:
Does Ambient screen mean always on?

Because if it is referring to the reduced brightness screen, there is a setting for it in the Android wear app. Click on the gear icon, then under device settings, click on Smartwatch 3, then on that screen uncheck Always-on screen. I shut off tilt to wake at night while I'm driving as well. Just out of curiousity, I shut off EVERYTHING (Always on, tilt to wake, card previews, app notifications, etc.) and checked my estimated battery life. It reported 8 days left, lol. :D
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nath6284:
I don't think you'll be disappointed with this watch following the update to 5.1.1. It looks as though they have tweaked the screen settings somehow, it's much brighter than it was even when the backlight is off!

I have to admit, I though I made a mistake by choosing the SW3 over the LG G Watch R, but not anymore!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] leojab:
The transreflective screen is the best on a watch. Thats one reason I went for the Sony SWR50. With new update, I can have keep also on black and white with no much battery loss
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I posted a request to the developer of Weather Time for Wear to include a feature:

The trans-reflective screen is made to allow light to pass through the white parts of the screen the best, so I asked the dev to add that feature, this is the result:

This way the screen is even fairly readable in low light situations. There is one small downside, the notifications where also made in white in ambient mode, which makes them unreadable (in ambient mode) at the moment. I've asked the app dev to see if he can fix that for us as well.

I also requested a feature which keeps the time on the watch face in the same location, while still being able to show you the seconds counter, this feature has also been added, this is how that looks now:

I've also requested a possibility to enable a "double tap to wake" function on the screen, but I have yet to hear back from him on that as he is investigating this possibility.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] glukasil:
The screen was key feature for me to buy the watch.......never regret it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fr0st420:
Don't get the G watch R. I had it before the Sony Smartwatch 3. It scratches way too east.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Zeblade:
Gonna have to disagree. Have the LG r for some months now and not one scratch on it. Yet Sony or LG hit any wall and lol.. yeah scratch.

My son wares the LG (Collage) and he must really take care of it..again no scratch ..nothing.

If you want to know whats AWFUL about Sony .. go find a new band..(US)

Hello

I run stock rom with twrp

I download the update and then i tap to install it

It reboot my phone into recovery mode without updating it

Then i reboot my phone and i realize that the update was lost

It says me that my phone is updated(thats not true)

What can i do?

Maybe i can flash the update because i downloaded it and probably it is somewhere in my device?

Please help me

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Assuming you are rooted (since you mentioned TWRP), you cannot install updates to Lollipop - because your system partition is modified. You will need to be completely stock if you want to take OTA.

P.S. The update is 5.0.1, not 5.1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momotizzati:
I was in the same condition, I flashed a stock lollipo android 5 with is home kernel, no root and with unlocked bootloader but the result is not changing. When the 5.1 update pop appears I confirm dowbload, I confirm installation but when reboot in recovery a very fast fake installation runs on error and then stop on home twrp immage.

Please any flashable pure stock will probably be easier.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momotizzati:
Sorry jj14 I confirm update is 5.0.1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Backup your apps and other files on your phone and just flash the 5.0.1 factory image, reroot and restore your user apps and you`re done.

Moto G 2014 Multi-Tool kit

Moto G 2014 Multi-tool

​

Hello my friends, my name is mrtaylor and I am reasonably new to the forums and pretty much a newbie when it comes to things like this too.

bare with me, probably scaring you all off by saying that but I have an announcement!

I've spent the last few hours tinkering away and have come up with four useful tools to help people that are not to familiar with android and need a hand when it comes to modding, rooting, etc.

the tools I have created are not "new" by any means but i have put them all together In an easy manageable folder with everything needed to execute them.

Tools Included​

Root

Installing Custom Recovery

Removing Unlocked Bootloader Warning

Restore Without Data Wipe

These are just a couple to get started and before I continue with the development of these and decide to turn it into a fully fledged executable tool with nice pretty colors and ponies i need a few people to

TEST

them.

So, anyone interested then please reply to this thread and I will PM you the dl link, i would really appreciated the help and feedback.

these tools are based on the xt1068 build but I'm sure they will work for all models.

this thread is also a WIP.

[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I have had 5.0.1 for a week now, both versions. It runs pretty smooth overall and I get great battery life. However every day I have had it it will just stop giving notifications at some point. It shows connected, I can update watch faces etc but I get no notifications of any kind. As an experiment I removed all 3rd party apps other then Moto Connect. So far it has made no difference. I have tried restarting the Android Wear app on my phone and rebooting the phone, neither made any difference. The only fix is to restart the watch. I am using the newest version of Android Wear on my phone which is a 2014 Moto X running 4.4.4. I have fully reset the Moto 360 several times, it still does it after a number of hours running, quite possibly after receiving a few notifications in rapid succession.

So with that said I wish I could go back to 4.4 as for me 5.0.1 sucks!
[Moto 360] DeV91:
I just wanted to report the exact same problem.. my notifications disappear after i receive several whatsapp messages in rapid succession!

this wasn't before the update
[Moto 360] NUGZZ420:
huh I don't seem to be having theses problems but I will try to pay more attention to it. I'am running 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5 though also not sure if it makes any difference.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
When the problem occurs all notifications stop, so it should be pretty easy to detect. I have seen a few other reports of the same problem on other sites so I know it isn't just me but if it was everyone I think I'd see more posted about it.
[Moto 360] raynan:
So, I hardcore derped and realised that the watch syncs notification mode with your phone. I didn't realise this and thought I wasn't getting notifications but saw them when I swipe down on my watch. Might anyone else be having the same derp?
[Moto 360] sky high:
I don't have lollipop on my watch yet but don't beat yourself up about missing this. Google got rid of silence mode so I know for myself I use priority mode as silent. But if you do that your watch won't get notifications so then its like what is the point. I want my watch to vibrate and have my phone be silent I don't understand why they would change that.
[Moto 360] le0.br4zuc4:
I haven't received the update yet, when I look for it manually, it just says system is up to date... well, I'm kinda glad I didn't get it yet since you guys are having issues
[Moto 360] Cst79:
I have this problem too...I have to restart the watch when they stop working. I thought it was fixed after the second update but it seems that it still does it :(

Notifications are the only real use for this watch. Now I have a useless piece of metal on my wrist. Luckily it looks good.
[Moto 360] nechmadi:
did you tried the turn on the option mute connected phone in android wear application and leave the phone notifications in "All" mode?
[Moto 360] nmoline:
I'm having the same problem today for the first time. I have an HTC One M8 running kitkat so it's not an issue with Lollipop "priority mode." I am not getting any vibration on my watch when receiving notifications on my phone. I have tried both mute connected phone on and off to no avail.

Restarting the watch fixes the issue. The only guess I have is that something hangs when the watch is put in and out of theater mode, as I have been using Theater mode on my drive in to work.
[Moto 360] 640k:
i don't have this problem but for those that are having the issue, how are you "turning your watch off"? are you allowing the screen to timeout or are you pressing the button?

i've found that a single press of the button does not immediately turn the face off like it used to. this is because there are new shortcuts with the button to perform different tasks.

1 press = turn face off

2 press = enter theater mode

3 press = enter sunlight mode

theater mode will turn notifications off. so if you are expecting the watch to turn off after first press and you press it again, you're entering theater mode. you should technically see a mute icon in the center of your display and you can check the new settings menu for the option.

again this is just a thought as I don't have these issues.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I don't turn my watch off at all. It goes in the charger every night and on my wrist during the day. At some point with no warning I just won't get notifications anymore. It happened three times yesterday - often enough it can't be trusted at all.
[Moto 360] tomh1979:
I personally wouldn't say they have stopped working, but i have had to restart a few times a day, so yeah that's lame.
