With an attitude like that you won't get far in these communities. You probably haven't bothered to read the rules. But to make it clear: If you want help from people you have to be polite.

I'm not a junior and it's obvious for me that I won't be polite to anyone who call me stupid.

Stay on topic pls

Any solution then?

PS quote from warranty

Isn't that ridiculous? What should I do with this fact?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Go back to your vendor and try to exchange under warranty or you can try direct with Samsung here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/request

The worst they can say is that its not covered.

The excerpt from the warranty is in fact NOT ridiculous. The watch is marketed and advertised as IP67 which implies "temporary" protection against immersion in water from 15cm to 1m. That weather rating as set forth by the IEC states that the object in questions is "immersed in water under defined conditions of

pressure

and time" . The test are performed in non moving water,

just

water, this does not include corrosives such as salt or chlorine. Now theres a whole long explanation regarding hydrostatic pressure and the density of water at whatever temperature your pool water was at the time, how that pressure can change by moving around in the water and how it can all vary depending on what end of the pool you jumped into, how loose the watch was on your wrist, the angle and speed at which you hit the water and the curvature of the earth ( do you know what swimming looks like? ).

Honestly wheres Sheldon when you need him?

There is no DIY fix for it, its too new, nobody is selling spare parts, if they were the cost wouldn't justify it anyways.

Long story short, the watch was not meant to go swimming. Im sorry that this happened to you and I'm sure it will serve as a warning to everyone else who thought about going for a swim with their watch. Im sure whomever reads this post will stop and remove their watch before the next time they jump into a pool, I know I will.

Go back to the vendor and try to get it exchanged under warranty, if that fails then try Samsung.

This is the final answer, no clever retort or thank you's needed. Im not being a smart alec, I just happen to work in an industry that involves surveillance equipment for some weird applications and I deal with IP weather ratings and water submersion a very good amount of time almost to the point where its annoying.

Good luck , please keep us updated on how the warranty exchange goes if you so choose to go that route.
[Samsung Gear S] kamieniarz:
Thank you so much for your response. I'll do as you said :)

My gear 2 and galaxy s5 has resisted without any problem swimming in the mediteranean sea last summer.

I made some very nice underwater movies. No problems at all. IP 67 it's plain and clear: 1m/30 minutes ( maximum values). Any certification has more "safe" zone . Probably nothing happend to your watch even at 2 m for a few seconds/minutes BUT FOR THAT ALL THE FLAPS SHOULD BE CLOSED WELL. I never had a problem with S5, gear 2, gear S, lg watch r, xperia z1 or xperia z ultra but I always chech twice before getting near water.

BTW. In your case it seems that your watch was defective from manufacturer's faults that's why they exchanged under warranty.

Good luck next time and verify twice your flaps.

Hey guys, I'm running a Rooted G3 with Paranoid Android 5.0.2 ROM and all the sudden this morning my phone would not send SMS or MMS messages! I can receive them but not send them. It was working fine last night...

I've tried reboot, reboot and clear cache, battery pull, verizon wireless to see if there was a block and still nothing has worked.

Please help!

[General Questions and Answers] Muthzer the One:
Hey, got a big problem and i have no idea what to do.

i have a tablet with a mt6582 Cpu and i tried to resize my app storage by using meteos app. As it was written in the tutorial i made a nandroid backup and afterwards used the app to repartition my storage. However when trying to restore my nandroid backup i get the message "Error while restoring /System!". Also i cannot do factory reset because it aborts with "No app2sd partition found".

Well now i cannot restore anything neither can i flash a new rom, as there doesn´t exist one if i am right and nor i am able to boot.

Hope somebody can tell me how i can deal with this mess, cause this is my first time handling a china device. :(
[General Questions and Answers] Cheshkin:
you need to format pmt and sew through SPFT factory firmware

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

there is an optimal way. You can edit the scatter file. there are instructions. but it is only in Russian.
[General Questions and Answers] Muthzer the One:
Well to be honest I've no idea what you are talking about. I don't know much about scatter files either but I think I can't edit them anymore, cause mtk tools just detects it but can't do anything with the tablet, and besides it seems like my backup from SD card also got deleted. But I noticed I can wipe data when I have the SD card in tablet which was inside when using meteos app for repartition. So I think I just need to find a firmware to flash via cwm so afterwards I can get through the partition problem? It's hard though cause I emailed the developer from my tablet and he said right now there isn't my firmware available. But for other tablets there are some.... Think this won't help though right?

Is there a way to remap the Send key when I am in text messaging? When I have my keyboard open, I have a bad habit of hitting the key just above the E, which is right now programmed to be Send. How can I change/disable this? I am happy hitting the touch screen to send.

[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
I'll be the first to admit that a large part of my rationale for purchasing the LG G Watch R was gadget lust as opposed to a logical cost/benefit evaluation.

Here's what I've learned:

1) I don't use the notifications nearly as much as I thought. Why? Because honestly it isn't that hard to pull out my phone and look. While the watch interface is cool, it is just too small to "do anything" with as with a small effort I could do that same thing much better on my phone.

2) A large reason I got this was to reduce distraction of looking at my phone while driving. Well again, the problem is, the text is so small and cannot scroll without two hands that it may actually be MORE distracting, not less. Also, I wear glasses to drive. Since I am near-sighted, I cannot see whats on my watch while wearing my glasses. So if I get a notification while driving I need to take off my glasses and take my eyes off the road to look. Hopefully while doing all this I don't hit a school bus full of somebody's babies.

3) Much of the notification work the watch does is already done by my small but powerful bluetooth headset. Text messages read, check. Turn by turn navigation read, check.

Funny thing is that most of the time what I find myself using the watch for is telling the time, temp and battery levels of my devices. Granted I don't go to a lot of meetings so getting texts surreptitiously on my wrist is not a benefit for me while it may be for others.

The #1 drawback (besides the price) of this watch is simply that I have to wear a watch. I have a $6,000 Rolex that I never wear for work because it annoys me when typing. The LG G R has the same issue.

So anyway, if I had to do it all again, would I? No, probably not. What does intrigue me is the new idea of a small curved LCD notification attachment for the wristband of your current mechanical watch. Now that would be useful.
[LG G Watch R] siraltus:
I'm slowly gearing up to sell mine. The novelty has worn off and I really don't wear it as much as I thought I would - it just doesn't DO anything useful aside from having a customizable colorful watchface and showing me notifications, for which I have to take the phone out anyway to respond.

Also, I constantly worry that I'll damage it by hitting or bumping it somewhere, and that only stresses me out.

I got it for $210 with tax and shipping when T-Mobile had that 30% off coupon (along with 5% cash back from my Discover card), so I'm going to probably break even since it's in pristine condition.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
I bought mine to replace my old Sony Smartwatch2. It's a great device and I found that I cannot live w/o a smartwatch to my wrist. Thanks to this little buddy, I'm barely touching my phone which leads to great battery life. Watch on the wrist, bluetooth handsfree in the ear, phone in the pocket ... no need to touch it unless I have to send a message.

So my answer is YES ... definitely.
[LG G Watch R] ertejeonline:
Today I will buy it again hands down, in fact if I lost it or break it I will buy another one as soon as I get Internet access. I've had a Smartwatch (meaning a watch connected to your mobile by bluetooth) since 2009 and I can't understand how did I manage to have a mobile phone without these watches before.

Yes, I've worn a wristwatch since I remember, never had a problem typing or anything else, I'm used to it.

I love a vibration in my wrist rather than in my pocket/backpack/table while charging... (I like my mobile making sounds just when I intentionally play that sound)

I love notifications with no vibration or noise as well, it just stays there on my watch waiting for me.

I check temperature, possible rain, wind speed and direction, just with a quick look, I know what to wear faster than before.

I read and archive non-important emails faster than before, I read messages that doesn't need to be replied faster than before.

I can switch my Wi-Fi light in the garden easily while riding my bike when I'm getting close to my house.

I can check my shopping list while shopping, leaving my hands free to grab things and avoiding the risk of my mobile hitting the floor.

I could keep writing reasons for a while more, but you get my point, I love it, I need it and yes, I'll buy it again and again (until there's one better out there for me to buy)

I hope I didn't do too much harm to English language BTW.

Cheers!
[LG G Watch R] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yes, I would buy again. Especially since I got mine for just $210, when T-Mobile had a discount code.

I replaced a Samsung Gear Live. I'm very happy going from square to round. The only thing the Gear Live has over the "R" is that it does not have screen burn in as easily. But I'm change my watch face all the time with my "R", so burn-in has not been an issue for me.
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
One of the things which has lessened my enjoyment is that when I walk away from my phone and the Bluetooth disconnects, often it takes forever to reconnect if it does at all. Weird that my $30 bluetooth headset reconnects instantaneously but my $300 smartwatch cannot.

I guess I was hoping for a smarter "smart" watch.
[LG G Watch R] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I suspect that would cost much more battery. It's probably just a matter of the polling rate.

I also think it may depend on how long things are away from each other. To me, when I'm away a short period of time it reconnects faster, than when I'm away a longer period of time. So it's possible the polling rate adjust to wait longer when, it seems you'll be away from the phone for a while.

I have never had a case where the "R" failed to reconnect, but sometimes it takes longer than other times.
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
Don't think battery life has anything to do with it. My tiny Bluetooth headset reconnects instantly and it has 11 hours talk time. I think its just bad engineering. Its unreasonable to expect the user to accept a disconnected smart watch for any more than a millisecond.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
You should not compare a bluetooth handsfree with a smartwatch. The protocols used are different as well as the transferred content and amount of data.

And, because the protocols are different, it is also a matter of hot the phone is behaving with the bluetooth pooling of the clients. Don't jump into blaming bad engineering.

Anyway, my watch is reconnecting in a matter of seconds after I get back in the range of the phone (Z1 Compact).
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
I'm not using my smartwatch all that much simply because I don't get too much notifications

Would I buy it again? Definitely

I have been and would be wearing a regular watch (which was more expensive than the LGWR) anyways and I love the little “extra” I get from a smartwatch

Most importantly, for me the watch is a fashion statement and that’s where the LGWR does an OK job, which makes it feasible to me (looks good and you can’t immediately identify it as a smartwatch). Are there better looking watches out there? yes, but to me the smart is worth it :p
[LG G Watch R] 1SiK1500:
I would buy again, But i am typically an early adopter of alot of things. I want to run the face full time on but havent yet. Still nervous. Ive had it since released at TMo. Coming from the Pebble Steel, Id like the watch to always be on.
[LG G Watch R] Koersten:
I had a normal Pebble before. I dont want miss this watch anymore. I wont sell it. I knew how the system is before I got it. So I knew what it can do and what it cant do.

Im very pleased.
[LG G Watch R] Aerandir14:
I definitely would buy a smartwatch, but not now.

I love my G Watch R, but I think there are a lot of important things the watch still misses, such as NFC, a speaker, and a better version of Android Wear, and as a student, I wouldn't be able to buy another GWR + the next generation.

So I think that, if I lost it or if I broke it, I would probably wait for the next generation, if I'm able to wait.

I think before being a Gadget, the smartwatches are watches, and it has to be bought as a watch.

I use my smartwatch all the time, to read notifications, mails, messages ... But also as a sleep tracker, and even to read my shopping list when I go to the supermarket. I used to read my shopping list with my phone, and I have to admit that it's a lot better with the watch ! It's very usefull to make simple calculs with the calculator app as well.

All these extra things doesn't justify the price, but comparing to the price of a normal watch, it worth it as a watch for sure !
[LG G Watch R] doubleohseven:
Battery is the exact issue at hand here. It's your phone thats making the reconnect request, not the watch. The Android Wear app is designed to request a reconnect at certain intervals (I believe it's 16 seconds a couple of times, then 32, 64, 128, then finally topped out at 256). This is used not to destroy your phones battery life. I'm suspecting they designed it this way KNOWING that we will walk away from our phones a lot more often with a watch, as compared to a bluetooth headset.

So, for the record, it's quite the opposite of bad engineering. Maybe in time someone will figure out how to mod the app to change the intervals.

Anyways reading your OP, it sounds like a lot of the issues with this watch are pertaining to personal issues/preference. To each is their own of course, I actually have none of the issues that you describe (besides the longer 128 and 256 reconnect intervals), so I would definately buy this watch again. Works like a dream, a lot better than the Pebble Steel I previously owned and sold. Working in the public safety sector, this watch definitely helps me out.
[LG G Watch R] Hawke84:
Yes. I love it. It's great at work in the business world
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
Bad user experience means bad engineering, period. You can spin it all day and the result is the same. For whatever reason my $800 bleeding edge phone struggles to connect to my $300 (supposed to be bleeding edge) smartwatch while my $30 Bluetooth headset connects and reconnects instantly.

I mean how much battery life is failing to reconnect in a timely manner saving me and why should I care since my long lived smartwatch won't connect to my phone?

Good intentions don't make good engineering. Good results do and this sucks.
[LG G Watch R] doubleohseven:
First off, I am not trying to "spin" anything. I am not a hardcore fanboy, I am just giving simple facts, and you're entitled to your opinion just as I am with mine. I have no problems with my watch "struggling" to connect to my Nexus 5 AT ALL (regardless of their value), what I do notice is the polling taking awhile to connect if I am away from my phone for any extended period of time. You can say its "bad engineering," or software development all you want, but what they are trying (and succeeding) in doing is preventing the Android Wear and Bluetooth apps from popping up in your battery stats with a large amount of battery usage. There would be a lot of people crying here if the watch was sucking up battery because your phone is trying to connect to your watch in 1 second intervals every time you walk away (and for some people who aren't attached to their phones, this would be a big battery drain).

"Bad" user experience as you put it doesn't always mean poor engineering or software development, it just means there's no better way of doing it at the moment. What would have been smart of them to do is have a setting where you can change the polling rate if the user, like yourself, so wanted. Like I said, if your away from your phone for extended periods of time (like an hour at a time per se), that can actually add up to big battery drain if your phone is trying to send the same packets over and over every second.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
[MENTION=2735188]mitchellvii[/MENTION] : in your case (yes, I read the other topic too) is a problem generated mostly by the phone, not by the watch. Samsung is known to have software issues and a bloated operating system. More than that, if you are on Lolipop with your Note4 this only adds a new layer of uncertainty, especially coming from Samsung.

Don't blame the engineers because they did their job beautifully. From my point of view, this watch delivers very good results.

Then, there is the other possibility: a faulty unit. Nevertheless, my watch is bought in the same day when it arrived in stock here, in Sweden (so I assume is one of the early units) and I did not had any issues with it.
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
completely agree - but it should be user-configurable

xposed would be the way to go (at least for the non-Lollipop users), hopefully someone can come up with something that makes everyone happy :)
[LG G Watch R] Shrink:
First 24 hours with the G Watch R after returning a Moto 360 and I couldn't be happier. The heart rate monitor works better, battery life much better, and it is working better with Google Fit. Last night, for the first time, Google Fit was able to detect that I was riding my stationary bike when I was working out as opposed to other activities I had logged previously. Sleep monitoring using Sleep As Android resulted in 85% battery left this morning where the 360 would be dead half of the time. I love being able to have the screen always on and get through a full day with battery to spare. I find it more responsive than the 360 and actually prefer the look of it over the 360.
[Zooper Widget General] Bookworm Yevgen:
Is there the opportunity to build a progress bar for negative range? I would like to use it for weather (one bar for positive temperature and another one for negative). With positive range everything is OK, but for negative values it doesn't work..

I was trying to do it for values from "0" till "-50"

The progress bar is painting at full length although the current temperature value is about several degrees below zero....

This is the progress bar's settings when the temperature is about zero:

[Zooper Widget General] tym11600:
Then put -50 as Min, 0 as Max. You can also spin the bar round 180° if you like.
[Zooper Widget General] Bookworm Yevgen:
It also doesn't work...

I tried it already...

[Zooper Widget General] Torgadden:
You will need to make the bar using rectangles and advanced parameters. That way you will be able to set the size of the rectangle to your temperatures using conditionals.

Negative numbers on their own will give you problems. But if you multiply your results by -1 you will have a figure that will work, then you can rotate your rectangle to give the correct visual effect.
[Zooper Widget General] Bookworm Yevgen:
I don't know what it was, but now it works as the reverse range from "-50" till "0"!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HORiZUN:
So, I have an Xperia Z3, D6616, stock, locked bootloader still, and I'm considering sim unlocking the device for use on AT&T. Bought it on craigslist. It's currently locked to T-Mobile. Most unlock websites say not to purchase the unlock code for the device if it is locked to T-Mobile due to an unlocking app that T-Mobile installs on handsets that prevents third party unlocking. See attached pictures. I'm an AT&T customer, so this is a bit of a pain for me.

Called T-Mobile, they will not unlock the device as it does not meet the requirements. I'm not a T-Mobile customer either, so there is no account history associated with this IMEI. I have a feeling that someone bought this device at a subsidized price, sold it new in box, and pocketed the cash. Now I have a fancy T-Mobile MP3 player and digital camera that won't play nice with my AT&T sim....

Has anyone successfully unlocked this device for use on another GSM carrier while originally being locked to T-Mobile without going through the carrier's unlocking process? If so, what website/service did you use? I'm considering selling this thing as it's a bit useless on my network thus far, being locked to another carrier and all.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henson0115:
is this me being a bit daft, but could you not simply put an unbranded firmware on the device via ftf and simply unlock the device via a website?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HORiZUN:
I'm not sure if that's a possibility. There is no root for this device without unlocking the bootloader, which wipes the TA partition and causes you to lose the DRM keys and cripples camera functionality. I'm trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader for as long as possible, but if unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM will assist in sim unlocking, it may be in my best interest to do so.

I'm trying to do a network unlock with a code and keeping the phone stock if at all possible, at least until a root method without unlocking the bootloader is found, if it ever is... I just need a way to get a code for unlocking WITHOUT going through T-Mobile.
