[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
Bingo! That's precisely the market Jobs wants. This is "simple phone" with balls, not smartphone. This is "SE Walkman phone" with a UI that doesn't make you want to smash the handset and enough storage to actually hold some music out of the box.

Look at my signature. What do I use? I choose to use WM devices and have done for a decade; I was using smartphones whilst most of the people on here were still in nappies figuratively speaking (I used to use a lashup of datacard and Windows CE handheld, then the Nokia 9000 came out). I love these devices; my Ameo is nicknamed "The Guide" because it really is like the Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy - connected to the sub-ether net, access to all the information you can imagine, entertaining, communicative - it's a great device.

iPhone doesn't suit me. But I'm fully aware of the market that it is aiming for and I think that constantly harping on about how it isn't a good competitor to WM devices, or lacks x features, is really silly; if the iPhone doesn't do what you want, don't buy one, especially if an existing product does do what you want. It really does seem to be that everyone WANTS an iPhone, but can't justify it and feels the need to complain :)

Which for Apple, is fantastic. OMGWANT! is exactly what they want people to do with their products, and that people feel compelled to post about what it doesn't have and why it is no good for them is a clear indication that they really wish it DID do all these things, so they could have one.

I think I own about 100 computers currently and 5 or 6 phones. If I want iPhone I'll have one anyway, but since it's only got 8GB, it won't replace my 80GB iPod as a music player - it'd be a whole extra device with a frustrating inability to cart all my music, thus ensuring I have to choose some to keep on it, and with no reason to use it instead of my Ameo.

And that's just fine by me, because the Ameo, flawed as it is, is still pretty damn good.

I'm intrigued to see how the OMGIWO (Oh my Gawd, I want one) effect lasts with iphone. Initially when the pod launched, it had this effect, but these days, every joe and his mate's got one, so there's nothing interesting to see when you get it out in public.

However, I suspect my Ameo will be pulling the crowds for a couple of years to come! :D Only today did I have a fella asking me all about it, and when I went through the spec's he nearly wet himself. HTC/T-mobile can probably chalk up another sale!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
When I got my Ameo, I ended up with my girlfriend buying one, two mates getting them, and about four more wanting them but not having the cash/being stuck on contract.

iPods are still good, but they're a commodity device now. I replace mine every year as long as there is a significant/useful upgrade; I pass the old one on to someone, though my 20GB one needed a new battery (and was then killed by a third-party USB/Firewire charging lead that also blew the Firewire bus on my G5 >_<)

Phones always attract more attention as a lekking device (look it up ;) ). iPhone will do well for that, I think, and the tactile user interface will go a long way.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
A lek is a gathering of males, of certain animal species, for the purposes of competitive mating display.

Sounds like Scottish version of what we say (In Jest) "Right, lets all get our c..ks out and start waving them around." Your's is more 'polite' though. :D

The one thing that the WM5 needs is better out of the box skins. I've installed a black one (ying/yang I think) from this forum and it pee's all over the out of the box ones from MicroT-Mobilesoft. I'm not buying into the hype I'm afraid. And I think there does need to be a better explanation of the iphone NOT being a PDA/smartphone, just a smart-looking phone. Just out of interest, am I correct in remembering that my Ex's pink ipod-mini had a basic personal organiser function - A calendar with reminders?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
I agree with much of what has been said - the Ifyyphone is aimed at a different market. Therefore...

...these are all fine - an Iphoney doesn't care about these things

BUT

That is unforgivable these days.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
It's true, though - you see how people are with their mobiles. Showing them around, having the latest models, the best features. Sometimes the most bizarre models get to be desirable - that unremarkable thing Panasonic/someone else sold that was the "Beckham Phone" for example. The Ameo is one HELL of a lekking device, but it suffers the same problem as my car does - gotta explain it. If I wanted to pull 'birds' as my normal peer group goes for (filthy goffick type here, I'm afraid), then the RX8 doesn't get a look in compared to a Focus ST, because the ST is loud, familiar and known to be quick. The RX8 has a bloody Wankel FFS. Sure, when someone gets in it and you boot it, there's this look of comprehension that kicks in, but on the road, it's a vaguely flash, odd sounding car.

Can't use it to pull if you have to get nerdy. Unless you like nerdy girls. In which case, well, my gf bought herself an Ameo after seeing mine. Says it all, I think :)

(also, oddly enough, she's in Birmingham. I'm going to have to listen out for that phrase now ;) )

I think the messaging app (at least the one on the Ameo, as they're apparently different on other devices like the Treo 750w) needs a lot of work, and the preferences panels are horrid, they look like they were drawn in Visual Basic by an NC Computing Student. A bad one. But yes, better skins go a long way towards fixing the crude look and feel.

iPods-with-displays have address book and calendar synchronisation, no editing (I think, the key to the PDA paradigm), and of course read-only notes.

As someone who works in the school system here in the US, I've used many Apple products over the years. One thing all of the Apple devices have in common that I have used is that they are too restrictive. They are all closed systems. I want to make choices, not have them made for me. I'm not some simple idiot that can't make my own decisions. This is the main reason I won't be buying an iPhone. Frankly I'm not that happy with Windows either (it's heading too much in this direction as well). I prefer Linux and I would like to see it show up on more phones.

There are some really nice things about the iPhone, but as long as Apple keeps being restrictive, I won't be using their products.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] phamoui:
Pyrofer

Actually I don't care what you think, I have all the different devices that I wish, so its just another " mobile experience". And you don't have base to judge that (only specs to compare)

For me it's better have an Iphone that a lot of Windows Mobile Devices (most of them are EQUAL) I'm saying that because I have both...

It's very sad limited people without curiosity and criteria to evaluate other platforms, It just like Linux (opensource) people that ignore Microsoft innovation products, just like You do with Apple.

Thanks god I have money to spend in shinny new gadgets...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
Do you 'work' in the 'special' school system?

Apple's computers are NOT restrictive. There is a difference between the iPhone not allowing third party applications, and not having a choice of twenty near identical naff video cards with which to mess up, sorry, optimise your computer.

OS X = BSD = Unix. Anything you can do with Linux, you can do with OS X. If you think lacking hardware support for a device makes it a closed system, do what Linux people do - write your own driver.

You might be able to make your own decisions, but you sure as hell can't research or fully comprehend the options you are choosing between if you think that Apple's computers are "closed systems".

Go on. Tell me what Apple products you've used and in which ways they presented a closed system.

Its amazing how many people miss the humour in my posts. My post was designed to stimulate discusion and provide humour. NOT bash apple.

I love the iPhone, but it just rakes me off that its missing some things I cant live without.

I get angry that I cant get the iPhone because some goomba decided that it didnt need those features. The Athena is amazing, and to be honest this is the first time I think apple have really dropped the ball.

Ive love the hardscreen multi-touch phone. Just not at the cost of the features. Of course if somebody else wants it, thats fine. I just dont see many Athena owners having an iPhone instead of Athena.

I find it funny that if you make any negative comment against apple everybody assumes your an apple hating MSFanboy, just as if you critisize linux they say the same. I have all 3 systems, and use all 3. I just open my eyes and recognise the faults of all...

Long live the day somebody thinks twice at the design stage and gets a product right first time.

I have LG G4. I turn off my phone then plug in the wall charger. After a couple seconds i get the battery icon with moving dots indicating charging. Then a few seconds more the phone turns on.

Can I charge with phone off?

Please Help!
[G4 General] stormannorman:
Developer options; unchecked stay awake when charging.
[G4 General] kyle1867:
What you're describing is the expected behavior.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
It's already unchecked ... but still phone turns on.

Is this the same with all LG G4 mobile phones?
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
My G4 stayed powered off while charging the one time I tried that. Powered off, not just screen off.
[G4 General] megamanfre:
Mine does the same thing regardless the screen awake settings. It's annoying since it charges faster when it's off. Think it may be a quick charge thing.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
I turn off the phone. I connect it with the charger and then after 20 sec it turns on (on the stage where i should put PIN code).

Please HELP me guys.
[G4 General] Milosh007:

Turn the power of after you plug it in. I think that's what I did to do it
[G4 General] Joolz03:
Can't do this when u are using wireless charging as the power button is on the back of the phone.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
I'm guessing that's what I did too, but I don't remember the exact sequence. The screen came back on to show just the large green battery, but hitting power turned the screen off fully.
[G4 General] Kroutnuk:
On mine, this happened too.

You must plug it while it is ON and after turn it OFF.

This works for me.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
No, I don't have that option.
[G4 General] tabp0le:
Other option, at least with the G2, you hold the vol down then plug in the power cable. This is how you did it with G2. I haven't tried it on G4 yet.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
So you also have the same "feature" with the G4, when it's turned off and then connected to a wall charger, then turns on ?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Turn the device off, wait 2 minutes. plug the phone in.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
I turned off the phone. Waited like 5 minutes or so, connect it back to wall charger, and the phone still turns on....
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Is it fully on and functional? Or do you mean the charging screen
[G4 General] Milosh007:
It turns on to the stage where i sould put my PIN code.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Yeah that's not normal. Which charger are you using?
[G4 General] Milosh007:
Model: MCS-04ER3

Do you have LG G4 and if you have, does your G4 do this?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Mine doesn't do this at all, and I use the stock charger, the Aukey 2.0, and some generic car charger. As long as the phone is fully off when the charger plugs in, it only shows the charging screen and does not turn on.

In fact, I just tested it again now at work with the stock charger.. No pin, just the battery charging screen.
[G4 General] Milosh007:
We have different chargers and maybe that's the main difference...
[G4 General] Kroutnuk:
Yes I must plug it when it is on and turn it off after. Otherwise I have the same problem.

I've got the 5.1.1 update and it works really well. Better than I expected.

Anyway, I can connect to wifi, even with the phone disconnected from the watch.

See, here is the issue: wifi is connected to the watch, but not working (Yes, I have a working wifi network).

Anyways, has anyone experienced this yet? Plus, does anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance :D

Bump

I have the same issue / question. I have both watch and phone connected to the same WiFi network. I turn off Bluetooth on my phone and the watch shows the disconnected icon. I send a test email to my phone and the notification pops on my phone but nothing shows on my watch. Once I turn on Bluetooth the notification pops on my watch.

Do I just not understand how this feature should work?
[Moto 360] aperry:
I believe the disconnected icon (cloud with line through it) means it is not connected to the wifi network. When you turn off bluetooth, you may see that icon temporarily, but after a few moments it should connect to wifi and the icon should go away.
[Moto 360] reinaldistic:
You also need to turn on the setting in the phone so it knows to look through wifi when it can't tag the watch through Bluetooth
[Moto 360] muiriddin:
Yes, the cloud sync setting in the android wear app can be set to off even though the wifi setting is on on the watch...

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahran:
Coming from the G2 I thought this phone would be much quicker but it has been struggling. I haven't even installed all of my apps yet, and it's already really slow. Multitasking on this phone is not that much faster than the G2 for me. Maybe it is the stock launcher?

Also the Smart Lock is really iffy. Sometimes it doesn't work when I am at home, I think it's because it takes a couple of seconds for it to realize I am at home. Other times when I am out to it doesn't lock it when it should be.

Going to wait until I can root it and hopefully with some changes it gets better. At this point I am really disappointed by the performance. Just as I was typing this and listening to Spotify the phone is lagging while I am trying to turn up the volume. :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I find the G2 is still a power house. Perfomance is not that different. I was a bit disappointed in the difference. Aside from the bigger screen, camera, and form factor, it doesnt really seem that different.

Supoosedly there are some background services hogging resources. LG came out and said it was the LG keyboard. Others reported disabling the MultiWindow feature also helps.

It isnt a huge upgrade but I believe it is just initial quirks that need ironing out.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OJ1618:
Coming from the Note family, I can say this phone is on par with the Note 4/Edge in terms of performance for day to day activities, with significantly better battery life. My G4 is fast, performs really well with minimal lag. The only lag I noticed is when using the LG keyboard. I installed SwiftKey and my phone now is (almost) lag free. You might need to reset your phone and see if that helps, as I see a lot of members here got their G4 issues resolved after a good fresh restore.

I always factory refresh from the store because they typically skip the initial setup steps. My G4 was acting crazy before that. My friend got a G4 new deliver and set it up herself and has been acting fine. Maybe one of the background apps is constantly looking for a skipped response and eating resources.

Thanks for the replies. As for this being posted before I didn't see it and I wanted to explain my experience / specifics.

I might try the factory reset and see if that helps. As for the sd card it would be hard to remove because it's the main reason I upgraded the phone. Also going to turn off multi window, I don't use it anyway.

Odd, I felt my G4 was getting pretty laggy using Google Now Launcher and switched back to the LG Launcher, which has been perfectly smooth and lag free for me so far.

I have an S6 as well that I had for a month before the G4 and it is definitely faster and smoother (except in Chrome), but I love the larger screen and awesome manual camera controls on the G4. Tough decision for sure. If the G4 was as fast and smooth as the S6, it would be no contest for me, G4 all the way. Still leaning towards the G4 though. Want to wait for the next update on each before making my final decision about which to sell.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dislplin01:
Yea I don't know has worked for me, the battery life is for sure longer, but it's all negligible, it may be the phone just settling in, I am hoping that LG will come out with a minor update to address some of the lag and other issues, the s6 is faster though, it also has a faster processor and better GPU. but I feel the camera, screen size, design, Expandable memory and a few other things make it worth it, free extra battery and SD doesn't hurt either.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. To the person who asked about lastpass, I don't use it on my phone, love using it on the PC.

I disabled multi window and it has made it a tiny bit faster. Still lagging way more than a 2015 flagship should during normal operation.

I want to install nova launcher but I spent a lot of time setting up folders in the stock app drawer, not fun to set it up all over again.

The S6 is definitely faster than our phones, but as mentioned there are other attributes of the G4 that mean more to some of us. Still, I think this phone should be faster than what I am experiencing. Instead of the free battery promotion I wish they had spent the money on the processor or further optimization.

Not sure what your skill level is but the current apk might (from my experience it most likely does) have the ability for RAW pictures already. You could always decompile it in .smali files and have a look around. I'll give it a look when I root mine, not sure when that will be though.

I already planned on increasing the bit rates, audio sampling and bit rates, jpeg compression, and a couple other things once I root mine.

Hi folks,

I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.

I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.

I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.

Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?

Thanks a lot for looking.

Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.
