[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] WBFAir:
The card I ended up getting was the one I had linked, which again to provide, is here:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...-uhs-1-memory-card/5334029.p?id=1219120331949

So am hoping its legit.

But aside, being that its 64g, from what is being said here, is there something special I need to do when I install it?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] hundred_miles_high:
I use the same card and all I did was install it, wait for it to be mounted and then format it on the device through the 'Storage' section in device settings.

I probably didn't need to format it, but in the past I've had the odd card fail to work properly in CWM / Philz recovery if it's not been formatted by the device it will be used in, so I just do it as a matter of course now.

If you purchased from BestBuy as linked, there shouldn't be an issue with it being counterfeit. Its usually eBay purchases, or buying from unknown 3rd party vendors where the counterfeits pop up.

Is there a way to stop the "OK Google" from appearing when you wake your watch face? I don't like when it covers my customer watch face.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] aonanodad:
Use it a few times and it will go away. It needs to feel wanted.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Calvin Gross:
I tried to use hot word "Ok Google" 5 or 6 times. For example I said:

Ok Google, definition google

Ok Google, definition watch

... ...

After that, "Ok Google" disappeared completely. Just use it several times and it will understand that you've already known how to use it and it will disappear. It's logical.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Randomjoel:
Right after I posted this, it stopped showing up. Thanks for the reponses. Now is it possible to change "OK Google" as the activation key word? I feel weird shouting "OK Google" at my wrist.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] likurik:
In case anyone else stumbles upon this thread in the future, the current "best" solution (requiring the Android Wear 6.0 update) is to disable the microphone permission system-wide (on watch: Settings > Permissions > System permissions > Android Wear > Microphone).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STDMachine:
Hey everyone, over the past couple of months I've been slowly customizing my phone and making it my own. Recently I've read about how Android is filled with bloatware and isn't as secure (privacy-wise etc) as Cyanogen and Replicant. However, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not compatible with them (at least the Verizon one isn't).

Are there alternatives that are open source, secure, and protects privacy?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanThaDude:
AOSP ROMs (ex. CM) aren't possible on VZW S5. You'll have to use a TW-based ROM flashed with Safestrap. TW-based ROMs are just the stock Samsung ROM stripped and customized. Until the bootloader is unlocked there's just no way to use ROMs like CM at this time and very doubtful if ever.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedajoester:
So as you may know the g2 on many roms doesnt allow data to work without enabling data roaming. However, what happens when your on a cruise ship with its own cellular that turns on once your away from shore? I plan on using my Verizon data until i drop signal but i dont want to accidentally roam from the ships cellular.

TLDR: Im on cloudy g3 and need data roaming enabled but dont want to roam
[Asus ZenWatch] z3nful:
I spent a lot of the weekend trying to root my Zenwatch (on 4.4.2w), or get a custom recovery working. Here's what I have tried and found out so far. They locked it down pretty damn well.

Unlocking bootloader and accessing recovery

Go to Settings -> About -> Press Build Number 7 times -> Swipe right, Developer Options now shows under About.

Theres a few different options including an Asus utility to check sensors and such.

To get into recovery or fastboot, you need to active ADB Debugging, unplug the watch than plug it back in, then run "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot fastboot"

To unlock bootloader, you need to push the reset button on the back to select.

In recovery, swipe right to left to show screen, up and down to select, and left to right to select.

My Findings so far

The kernel source and ROM source are not available anywhere.

There is no way that I can find to get root. I even went as far as loading towelroot onto the watch through adb install, but it just hangs and eventually closes.

There is no way I have found to build a custom recovery with CWM or TWRP.

There is no way I have found to dump the boot or recovery partitions.

There is no su binary preinstalled. Attempting to link a su binary has come up null.

dump_image binary is not installed, nor can you get it to install.

Trying to install any packages through stock recovery gives signature error.

Trying to use dd command to dump boot or recovery ends with "permission denied"

Trying to use "fastboot oem saveprt2sd recovery -n recovery.img -a" ends with "invalid page size". Same with trying to dump boot in this fashion.

Trying to boot either the LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live unsecured boot images comes back with "(remote) dtb not found" (No surprise here, but it was worth a shot)

fstab is root only.

/dev tree is root only.

all init.asus scripts are root only.

You can install packages with "adb install" but all the standard root gaining apps stall or force close. Towelroot seems to try, but locks up after hitting "make it r4in." trying to change the modstring on v3 (with triple tap title) does not provide a field to change.

Kernel command line is root only.

I browsed EVERY file on my watch hoping to find a hole that I could build off of, but alas, I had failed.

Even trying to do "adb backup" results in "Confirm on Device," and closes immediately afterwards, with no confirm.

I believe that unless they release either the kernel source or the full ROM source, we are unable to root or modify any options.

Which really sucks, because the "OK Google" screen is REALLY F****** BRIGHT.

if anyone has success, please share
[Asus ZenWatch] CSX321:
I thought I'd try installing one of my own apps and see what happened. It installs okay, but it crashes immediately. I'm guessing it's because I'm using something that's not supported, probably sound or Webkit (the app displays an HTML tutorial the first time it's run). I haven't had time yet to run it from the debugger and see what's going wrong.
[Asus ZenWatch] dgjenkins:
I haven't bothered to even watch the video yet but presumably this shows how to root Wear devices and includes links to a Wear compatible supersu, although no custom recovery for the Zenwatch yet. There are links to TWRP for other major watches so I'm guessing it's just a matter of time.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/root-android-wear-5-0-1-xdatv/
[Asus ZenWatch] z3nful:
To build a custom recovery, you need to pull the existing recovery or boot partition off of the device and pull partition information (fstab, which is not readable by user on this device) and the build.config information (which is also not readable by user), or pull the fstab.anithias and build.config from the running system (which again is not accessible to the standard user account).

Without that information, you can't build a custom recovery. I've been attempt this for almost 2 weeks now, and its locked down pretty well. The G Watch and Gear Live allowed access to the needed files, but Asus did not with the ZenWatch.

If anyone is willing to risk bricking their watch (by getting past the dtb error when trying to boot the LG G Watch or Samsung Live recovery images, which is a long shot in itself) to get the openRecovery/CWM/TWRP to install and work to the point of getting ADB working through recovery mode, I can do the rest to build the recovery.

I just dont want to risk bricking mine quite yet, as the google play store was out of stock the last time I checked to purchase a "testing" watch.

[Asus ZenWatch] CSX321:
I started trying to build the kernel yesterday, but I'm not getting far yet. I've been a developer for over 30 years, but most of my Linux/other UNIX experience was over 10 years ago, and I've forgotten a lot.

I've tried a couple of different compiler versions, but I'm pretty quickly running into different issues with either one. I'm not sure what version Asus used, but it's apparently not either of the ones I've tried. Also not entirely sure what configuration to use. I'm using the 8226 configuration now, because there's no 8026 configuration in the source archive. I don't know if that's suitable or not.

All-in-all, I may not be out of my depth, but I'm out of my area of experience, at least. Any tips, [MENTION=3540619]z3nful[/MENTION]?

Edit...Is there any useful information in the OTA zip file? It's available. Partition info or a boot image or something?
[Asus ZenWatch] btonetbone:
[MENTION=3540619]z3nful[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1975647]CSX321[/MENTION] - Any luck moving forward on this? I'm not a programmer, but I'd be glad to offer any assistance if needed!
[Asus ZenWatch] CSX321:
No progress here, I'm afraid. I think I just don't know enough about this environment to do it, without devoting a lot more time to learning.

I've also lost some motivation, because there doesn't really seem to be anything I need root for on the watch. About the only thing I would do if I had it is delete a couple of apps, but since Mini Launcher lets me hide apps, I don't care so much about actually deleting them.
[Asus ZenWatch] vschindle:
Has anyone had success with adb push? It seems the system is read only and doesn't allow for pushing files. Is root required?
[Asus ZenWatch] Spinergy02:
Asus is good at locking down their devices, requiring you to register it with them to get an app to unlock it (you also acknowledge that by downloading the app you are voiding your warranty). I really wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing with this watch and just haven't released the unlock app yet.

I am kinda disappointed to see this sort of thing from a device licensed by Google. It's like the exact opposite of the Nexus line.

[MENTION=3540619]z3nful[/MENTION] Just some helpful links, thought I could help a wear user out (I have the G Watch)

Kernel --> https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/android-msm-anthias-3.10-lollipop-wear-release

Also, Gohma ROM for gwatch includes a boot img that auto roots android wear. (http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/rom-gohma-2-0-12-15-2014-t2974052) Named rboot.img, I think it might be worth a shot to run "fastboot boot rboot.img" to see if it does anything.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
So I'm an avid rooter, and have rooted and messed around with loads of devices. (particularly, nexus) Well, I was rooting my nexus 9, about 3 weeks ago and everything went smooth. Today I noticed my device was reportedly no longer rooted, and I kept trying to reroot using WugFresh's NexusRootToolkit, Well I ****ed up.. It kept messing up so I decided I'd do a factory reset, and that did nothing. So I went into TWRP, and I did an advanced wipe and that other one you have to type 'yes' too.. and then I lost my OS, and even when I put it back to stock, even selecting "Bootlooped" absolutly nothing happens. Possibly need a new cable or something? Like all the commands worked, even while I was still trying to root, however nothing ever happened..

Edit: My device no longer has twrp on it. Also when I try to boot it up in any way it instantly goes to fastboot.. It doesn't even go to the boot screen
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Flash the factory image with fastboot. And stay away from tool kits.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
Could you expand more? I'm kind of a noob unless its tool kits..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Download the factory image. Google nexus factory image. You'll download a .tgz file. Extract it using 7-zip. Inside you'll find a flash-all.bat file. Boot your device into the bootloader and connect it to your pc. Then done click on the flash-all. Backup your device first as it will wipe it. If the flash-all doesn't work then your going to have to flag the image files manually. That's a little more tedious
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Don't need the money but I'll help you. The flash-all isn't working for the n9 so I thought you'd have a problem. First, Google 15 second adb install xda. Install that on your pc. Try not to use the dev host download. It's a bad site. It'll install fastboot and adb to your pc

Edit, inside the factory image you extracted is a zip file. Extract that too. You should find a number of image files in there. Recover.img, system.img, etc

Edit,edit this is for the nexus 5 but it's the exact same process. Follow method 2 but use the image files and file names in the factory image you downloaded. I'll be here to help when you need it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47156064

Oh, one big difference is there is no userdata.img for the n9. Instead there is a vendor.img. where you see fastboot flash userdata userdata.img use fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
I honestly cannot make any sense of a lot of that... I opened a cmd window in the folder that I extracted the zip, and I get that fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Did you Google 15 second adb install xda and install that?

Edit, I see you're doing that now
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
I did, twice on accident. Could be an issue?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
No out shouldn't be an issue. Boot your device into the bootloader and then plug it into your pc. Open a command prompt and then type fastboot devices. What does it show? It should show your devices serial number
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
I get the same unrecognizable message.. Could I be opening a command prompt in the wrong place? (The folder the extracted everything to) ?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Are you on Windows 8 or 7? See if there is an adb folder on your machine with fastboot and adb in it
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
I am on windows 7.

I found one.

It also has 2 other files in it..

When I type fastboot devices in this one I get the serial number!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Ok open a command window in there, shift right click on an open area. Then with your device booted into the bootloader type fastboot devices
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
Did so and it worked. Now I have these commands from that other thread, but how do I change them to be personalized to the android file I have downloaded from googles website? something called volantis-lrx22c
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Good, we're getting some where. Move the image files you downloaded into that folder. The ltx22c file is the 5.0.1 android. You should have a bootloader and radio image file and then in the zip you extracted there should be a recovery, system, cache, boot, and vendor image files. I might have missed one as I'm going by memory but move all those image files into the same folder as fastboot and adb are in. For ease also rename the bootloader and radio files to just bootloader and radio.

Edit, now just to make sure everything is working boot into the bootloader and type fastboot devices. If you get the serial number then type the following commands

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot -w

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash system system.img

System will take a long time. Then reboot and you should be good to go.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsobscure:
I renamed the bootloader, however I see no 'Radio' file

(Just a reminder that I thank you very much for bearing with me)
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:
I've had my Z3 for about two weeks now, and all of a sudden last night I noticed it constantly restarting itself (at least once every few minutes). Along with this, it no longer showed that I had anything in the Album or Walkman apps, and several home screen widgets were blank. A lot of other apps won't open, and there's a lot of lag overall. I tried connecting it to my computer, but the software said --it just restarted again while typing this -- that it could not connect. I noticed a couple of days ago that the screen showed nothing but static for a second, an issue I've seen around these forums but brushed off since it only happened once. Has anyone else had this happen? What do I do? My phone is basically unusable at the moment and I intend to keep the power off to keep it from constantly restarting. Thanks for your help.

[G2 Accessories] only-one:
What's your favorite case for your G2 (white Verizon)? I don't need OtterBox Defender bulk or protection. But would like the case to offer protection and feel good in the hands none the same. Having the buttons covered would be a great bonus.

Wanted to add the screen has a Zagg (original) screen protector on it. Any cases that don't interfer with it?
[G2 Accessories] gbeardmore:
Cruzerlite Bugdroid on my Verizon G2. Fits perfectly with just enough protection and allows a screen protector to fit as well.

I have a Ballistic and I like it. It fits good, isn't too bulky, and it covers the back buttons. My wife has a Trident, which is also nice but is a bit bigger. No button coverage on the Trident. Both accommodate a screen protector just fine. In fact the Trident case comes with one.

I have this case. It keeps low profile, protects the corners (most important for g2) and has soft touch tpu on the back. Nice to hold. Previously had spigen slim armor (this was way too heavy and too bulky), cheap tpu case (i think the phone would be better of naked rather than in those 0.3mm or 0.6mm cases, cause they provide no protection at all).

Would like to try that Diztronic tpu case that everyone seems to recommend. But i dont want to pay for shipping as much for the case itself. 17$ total Whoaat. Also i think cheap tpu case provides almost the same protection as that Diztronic one.

Puregear slimshell i think would be the perfect case for me, but its too expensive.

Wow! I actually have the Dark Blue version of this but I found the Cyan version is only $5 plus Free Shipping. Mine is starting to get beat up, so $5 is a steal. Incipio is the best. The product is quality and solid. It has a awesome powder rubber coating that helps keep it nice and clean/scratch free. It isn't painted or made of cheap brittle plastic like other cases.

Just FYI on the price.

Update: Incipio typically comes with 2 screen protectors also... which makes it an even better deal.
