So yes you can buy it now. Although don't expect delivery until the end of the month or early next month.

However, you will be paying near on $100 premium to get it so early. Patience is a virtue.............

Oh, and it will probably only have LTE bands 3, 8, and 28 activated.

Just wait 2 more weeks. I rather buy it officially from Asus them self instead of greedy seller's.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR96:
I'd like to be able to buy from a local ASUS outlet too, but you got to think twice when they'll mark up the price just because they think we can all afford whatever they charge for it. Here in Australia I'm expecting the Zenphone 2 to be retailing for double the prices we're seeing in Taiwan. And even then it won't likely have all the Australian LTE network bands enabled.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
being that the m8 dev edition phones r getting lollipop update AS I TYPE THIS, I find myself prepping for when we get the update.. I've modified many system files, so I've got the stock odex Rom downloaded and was about to download stock recovery when I realized my laptop is toast and don't have access to Another cpu for quite awhile . I've flashed twrp over the stock recovery with Flashify with no problems, but wondering if flashing stock recovery back over twrp with flashify is any different or if anyone else has done so, and if there's any problems? (yes I know it's always recommended to use fastboot, but I can't, no pc) ... I've used flashify many times, just not putting stock recovery back... Any feedback is much appreciated..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
I don't know if it will work but you can give it a try.

You can use alray's DevEd Rom Reset just select stock recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
Can't use it, I'm on Verizon. Unless there's a stock Rom reset for VZW.. Just wrote the question here because it's a wider audience than the vzw forum, and generally speaking, if it'll work on 1 it should work on the other. Just looking for confirmation to c if anybody's done it before.

I figured that being that when I used flashify 2 flash twrp and it worked n wrote to the correct partition, it SHOULD work the other way around. Just never done it with a stock htc recovery.

Has anyone probed the pins on the back of the watch? Mine didn't charge overnight and I'm stuck at work. I can build a custom cable but not sure what the pin order is.
[LG G Watch R] Zviratko:
I don't have the pinout, but I probed it with my meter and charging PINs are the first and the last.

With the USB connection facing away from you, the leftmost PIN is VDC (+5) and the rightmost is GND.

To rephrase that because you don't have the cradle: with the watch laying on the watchface and the crown facing towards you, the leftmost pin is GND and the rightmost is +5V.

My 6yr old lost my charger and i was lost today without my watch.

Got 2 new chargers ordered (one extra just in case) but till they get here I was stressed over not having my watch.

With the info from this thread I took an old phone charger and cut off the mini usb end and stripped the two wires and taped then clamped onto the appropriate pins of my Urbane with a paper clamp, it is currently charging and I am once again a happy camper.

ADB / Fastboot installer

navigate to C:\adb\ and then run the command they give in the thread

adb shell wm density 540

(not confirmation will be sent but your phone should prompt you to 'allow' your computer to send adb commands to it.).

Restart phone

DPI settings are now at 540. original DPI settings are 640 BTW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] redphazon:
I came across that thread a few hours ago. It's pretty neat to be able to drop the density and make more use of display space (could even drop it down to 384 and make it look more like a tablet), but it has its problems. Samsung apps (Dialer, camera, S Note, S-View, etc) will lose their screen alignment and/or only cover a portion of the screen when altering the density. Finding an alternate dialer was easy enough, but I'm having trouble finding a camera app similar to stock in quality, and was unsuccessful at replacing the S-View... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
Yup :( unfortunately that is a side-effect of doing this. Only way to do it that I am aware of conventionally would be via xposed or loading in custom TW apps, both not possible. Hangout dialer works well, for this. TW stock browser is not affected. My S-Note is not affected either, too. Dialer and S-View are (not unusable, they just are not center-aligned any longer as their height/width are set on static widths rather than proportional % when Samsung set up the layout.) Maybe they'll change that in L.

BTW I use Nova for launcher and Hangouts as my dialer. I do use an s-view case, though, which is of course impacted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] redphazon:
I'm also using Nova Launcher. I did download ExDialer at first, but I went to Hangouts Dialer instead since ExDialer has a trial period and costs money.

S Note is largely unaffected yes, but when you open the camera for copying documents, the square used for aligning the camera with the document is off-center. It doesn't seem to hurt functionality in any way, though. Oddly enough, the camera when used in S Note is fullscreen...

As far as S-View goes, I'm thinking about removing the flip cover. S-View is nice, but I'm always trying to not get smudges on the cover screen on top of the phone display, so the cover is a little bit cumbersome to me when holding it. Seeing how much better the phone looks at a lower density makes me lean even closer to just getting rid of it. That leaves me with just the camera replacement...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jfenton78:
Can anyone confirm if this impacts the play store? Typically changing the dpi on the whole device would prevent the play store from downloading some apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] redphazon:
I haven't seen any problems with the Play Store yet, though I haven't been installing much of anything, either. The few apps I've installed so far gave me no trouble.

Also, just found out that the stock camera has no problems with accurate button detection when the phone is turned sideways for landscape rotation, though it's still not fullscreen. You have to guess where the buttons are on the screen in portrait when the density is changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jfenton78:
Couple of tips:

if you get an error about the device being offline make sure you've got the current ADB installed. The link provided for the adb and fastboot didn't work for me because the file didn't install. The program is just an auto run zip file. you can open with 7-zip and just extract the adb files.

also if you get an error about the device being unauthorized you must select no action on the windows pop up and always perform this action. the phone should then get a pop up with the RSA key number and ask you to authorize. hope this helps.

540 DPI is pretty nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bleuiko:
I was okay with the dialer and lockscreen, but the camera made me go back to 640. In vertical shooting mode, the touch points for all the icons, including the shutter button, is misaligned and is very annoying. What a shame as 540 looked AWESOME.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
Thanks! Just added to the top thread under impacted apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Conkrete:
Does this effectively change the resolution? I'm curious if lowering the DPI would give positive improvement to high-end game performance. Can anyone shed some light here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
It doesn't change the resolution. What it changes is the drawing size of on-screen content which is directly from the 'dpi setting' of the phone.

It's a little complicated to explain but this is how it works;

The phone's default screen density (DPI) setting 640, this is done because that's how many dots per inch of the physical screen there is (a phone of similar screen size would have a similar dpi). This value is stored in your phone's build.prop and is read by numerous applications, it might not match exactly the 'real' dpi of the screen but its normally very close to it.

By changing it lower in dpi you're instructing to applications you actually have a smaller screen size, thus to fit content (i.e words not being HUGE on a small screen) content is drawn to that dpi setting you're providing in build.prop.

Now to go into why we have certain issues when changing the dpi.

This is basically due to how the app did its layout sizing (do I base content on "actual size" of the screen-size or do I base it on "actual density" of the screen density in build.prop? Most apps, since they're targeting to be used with dozens of devices of all sorts of different sizes, will be designed where the layout of content is dependent upon dpi. A layout would be I want a rectangular box on the bottom that has height 10px and width 100%, so that effectively means the width is based on the proportion of the screen size (the OS controls this, its just a matter of scaling). This is why you once had 5 items to show now has 8 items to show in a listbox. The size of the listbox in this case would be based on actual density while the content (text etc.) inside would be based on actual size (scaling I would think is limited to a min/max actual size for text).

Samsung can get away with this on their stock apps because in their mind when they build their roms they are only going to be used on that specific device. They're starting to go away from this, however, and are starting to make their layouts more typical that of a normal application. You have somewhat less control of the layout going from actual size to actual density.

*keep in mind you can actually set parameters for both. Such as if I wanted something to be 10% in width but only up to 2.5 inches in actual size this effectively means that it will scale until it reaches 2.5" and then scale no longer.

I hope that makes sense. Resolution really doesn't have a role at all in this, you're always at the same resolution (4K) and this is handled by the lower-level kernel and GPU firmware. I don't think there's a way to change this at the app layer but than again I have really no background in android development.

*please if anything comes off as inaccurate please point out, I am from a XAML/.NET development background and linux/unix embedded systems and really I focused on back-end/databases/services and not really front-endy stuff. This is how it is handled in XAML though and I have seen android uses the same principals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Conkrete:
Extremely helpful and great info. Possibly the best response I've received from XDA. Thank you for the info. I have found a couple root apps that claim to change resolution but I've been hoping to find a non-root alternative.

Hi everyone. I have installed the palm messaging app on my LVSW WM6 rom. Everything works fine except that my orange home screen does not show up the amount of new messages.

I guess this is because the palm software has a new homescreen item that it created called new text messages. Using the orange homescreen though i cant have this running.

What i want to know is, is there any way i change the orange homescreen to check the correct place for the amount of new text messages.

Just to clarify

If i select new message on the homescreen then it works fine and takes me to the palm new message bit. If i recieve a message it pops up and thinks as usual. The only thing it doesnt do is put a 1 in the box next to text messages on the homescreen.

Any ideas.

I just got the Pebble Steel for Christmas and have been in love!!! (Should have gotten it when it was first offered, almost a year ago)

Things I like: Battery Life, Always On Display, Shake wrist for backlight, Vibrating Notifications, Dressier/Professional Look, Remote Controlling Apps(music, camera) Quick SMS replies.

Things I don't like: Requires more than the Pebble App(which is nice) to make use of extra features that other "watch apps" use, such as Glance, Pebble Dialer, etc.

I wish that the Pebble App on the G3 or any phone did the same features that the other 3rd party apps do.

i am a pebble user myself but i can't handle the noticable battery drain when pebble services are up and running

w/o pebble i can achieve 4 hours of SOT and with pebble on, reaching 3 and a half is nearly impossible
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmvt:
Also pebble user over here, original pebble that is. Have been using a galaxy gear first gen and although it was a fun device with its camera and built in speaker it wasn't nearly as functional as the pebble. As others said here: multiple days of battery life, notifications with canned replies, music control, background pedometer I love it all.

Did notice some heavier battery drain due to the constant Bluetooth connection and pebble services but that is quite understandable.

I do get about 18 hours of use with about 3.5 hours sot. That is with all sorts of syncing activated and mostly a (bad) 3g connection.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
Even though it wasn't on your list, I'm a new Moto 360 owner (had it for 14 days now). I love it. I got the light finish metal, but have since acquired a few other bands and I like that I can change them depending on how I want it to look or what I'll be doing (for example, I have a synthetic band I use when I'm exercising or running). Battery life could be better, but evidently it's better than it used to be. I can get through the day on regular mode, but if I use ambient I'll probably need to charge before the end of the day. A lot depends on the number of notifications you get. Obviously having Bluetooth on all day impacts the battery life on my G3, but it's still plenty enough for me. And I can always swap in the extra battery that LG was kind enough to give away last fall. I just think it looks cool - especially my current setup of the silver watch paired with a brown leather cuff-style band.

I debated buying one for the longest time, but after getting a couple Beat Buy gift cards for Christmas I decided to pull the trigger and I'm glad I did. It's definitely an unnecessary luxury item - more fashionable nerd tech than a practical item. But it's fun. Currently I'm slightly obsessed with designing my own faces in WatchMaker and hunting for the work of others. I think I've had at least 3 different faces on my watch everyday for the past two weeks.

Enjoy your potential purchase!
