[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
i really want to know from someone who using the Gear s2 watch.

since there is no speaker in the watch , what happen when you get any notification ?

only vibration or do you get a small sound like the apple watch ? or no sound at all

thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
Only vibration.
[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
that's a huge huge Minus !
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
Just keep the audio notifications turned on your phone then.

Or don't get an S2.

Or get the 3g model that has a speaker on it.

Or get all hyperbolic about it.
[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
3g model for sell somewhere ?

and no one knows for sure if the speaker can be used for notification

i am so disappointed from that , so bad :(
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
Next month.
[Samsung Gear S2] ld-runner:
does it vibrate notifications if your phone is not around? or does BT need to be available. I cannot figure out if the Gear S2 has WiFi.....
[Samsung Gear S2] Bruno_Brunetti:
The watch is a disappointment, major step back in their advancements over the years. Was a leader, now a copy cat follower
[Samsung Gear S2] CTBob:
The gear does have WiFi. However I always have my phone so my WiFi is off to save battery.
[Samsung Gear S2] slyjai:
Only the 3G model,has the speaker. The other models have a microphone for voice to text, voice memo etc.
[Samsung Gear S2] JoganJani:
So how does the alarm sound on the watch? Or it doesn't?
[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
Maybe it vibrate on your hand for wake you up , funny watch :) , why just why Samsung will never do something totally perfect and useful ?
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
You mean the 3g version thats coming out next month that has all the missing features that are causing you so much drama?
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
I know what you mean. A lot of their products seem to fall short by a bit. A shame really since Samsung has so much resources at their disposal.

Having a speaker on the non-3G would've been better and the S2 and S2 Classic would've been more wholesome.

I've had my S2 since Saturday & I'll definitely be returning it despite it being the first smartwatch I actually like.

I'll give it a try again when the 3G version comes out.
[Samsung Gear S2] slyjai:
It will vibrate, and make the alarm on your device go off. Gear S2 has basically 3 different models. There are many people that do not want to talk on their wrist during calls and can save some money and just get the Classic or Regular model. If you wanna shovel out a few more bucks get the 3G model. Or the original Gear S which I have and love. With those models you can choose to either connect it to your device for calls, or have a stand alone number and or have calls forwarded to the watch if you want. The 3G model is good for people that want to leave their phone at home at times during jogs and can have data on the go. I know a guy that uses his S as a 3G device because he can't bring a phone into his job but the Gear S allows him to receive calls and direct them to his Bluetooth headset if need be.
[Samsung Gear S2] thumtagged:
Been using Pebble before the S2 and the vibration was strong

For the S2, setting the vibration to maximum... I can barely feel it...
[Samsung Gear S2] jvcastel:
Well, to round up a bit, it does not have a speaker and conisdering that the previous watches had it, looks like a step backwards. At the end this market is evolving and both Apple and Samsung are trying to put the right features on their devices. I also have a Gear Neo 2 and frankly speaking you look pretty stupid talking thru a plastic watch on your wrist. It appears that talking over the watch is not a killer feature. I complained about it at the beggining but then I realized that is not natural to talk to your watch, besides you dind't got any privacy dureing your calls. I like the Gear S2 features better. Has a much better integration to the phone and a cleaned up and less buggy software than the Neo 2. The OLED screen is the best in the market for any smartwatch. Finally, regarding the wifi it has some very nice features. First of all it takes the wifi setup directly from your phone. If you set up your phone to access your wireless router, then your Gear S2 is ready to go. Second if you leave your phone at home and are in your office with the watch on wifi, you still get all your text messages, whatsapp, even email on your watch! Thats really cool and useful. Botom line, this reminds me when Palm ruled back in the 90's and declared that the keyboard was dead with their giraffe hand writing technology. Now, 20 years later, we still use these touch screen mini keyboards that force us to correct whatever we type over and over again. A step forward? Does anybody complaint about it? Maybe the same will happen with the idea of use your watch as a phone. Only time will tell...
[Samsung Gear S2] Alkamizt:
I disagree. While using the speakerphone on your watch may seem silly in public, it is infinitely useful when you are driving. I don't use a bluetooth headset as it requires quite a bit of fiddling and keeping an additional device charged is just a pain. I have been using my Samsung Gear 2 for years primarily because of its speakerphone capability, and did not buy the Gear S2 primarily because it was missing the key feature for me.
[Samsung Gear S2] jonapunk:
find my watch use to make a sound when I first got it I know it did but now it does nothing. but vibrate. anyone know if they turned it off in the software and I just never realized it?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoTZeus:
I rooted my phone yesterday and everything was going fine. Then my phone died and now my phone only boots into the recovery(CWM) and it wont charge. I have done a lot of searching and have found no solution. My phone is recognized when I use adb commands, but when I try to do anything all I get is <<waiting for device>>. Any help would be appreciated.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Soft brick

So you rooted your phone successfully, installed custom recovery through ADB then flashed superSU zip from the root of your SD card, and then the battery died normally and now you can't get into anything but recovery correct? This post is a little late so you might have found a fix by now but pressing your power button and volume up button should reboot your phone.

Guys can you post some screenshots of how Android 6.0 reacts with external USB OTG storage (pen drives / hard disks) ?

I have heard that Android M now supports USB OTG natively.

It also shows notifications when an external USB storage is detected.

I am curious to see this in action... Can any of you post a video of this on a purely stock Nexus 5 running Android M ?

TIA

It recognize it but via es file Explorer or with Here drive u cannot access the storage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashutosh90:
What are you talking about ?

If the system recognizes it then why wont File Managers like ES File Explorer recognize it ?

I think your External Storage if formatted in NTFS thats why it is not being recognised by ES File explorer.

If this is the case then format it to FAT32 and please reply back on the status.

Also, does the system show a notification when you plug in your storage on Android 6.0 ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basti2909:
Idk why it doesnt but fact is it does not.See Screenshots.formatted with Android in fat32
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashutosh90:
I think the reason could be that ES File Explorer has not been updated to work with Android M.

I hope someone else on this forum might know something and reply on this issue.

If you come to know anything do reply.

Can you tell me what notification comes up the moment you plug in your USB storage ? (A screenshot perhaps)

Android 6.0 natively recognizes and mounts my OTG USB stick. However I do wish it supported more than FAT32. I'm hoping Stickmount gets updated to work with 6.0, because that works with FAT32, NTFS and exFAT.

The strange thing is that it seems that the usb stick is not really mounted anywhere!

i can't find it in /mnt or elsewhere...

so it's completley useless... i can just open files from usb stick with the android default file manager but i cant copy or move files anywhere or use usb stick with other apps...

I can't even mount it manually or with stickmount as i did on lollipop....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashutosh90:
ES File explorer does recognise the USB OTG drive although it does not show on the homepage for some unknown reason.

To access your drive using ES file explorer just open the app and slide out the menu from the left side.

You will find your drive in the "Local" tab.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuveAddict96:
Hi, I think I found a way to make it work with my Nexus 6 on 6.0. I initially formatted my USB via phone (so it gave me a FAT32 partition) and it was correctly recognised by the system, so I could manage it and run music through my phone settings. It was located in ES File manager too but it had a weird label and nothing inside was shown, neither I could use it in Poweramp (as an example). When I tried to format it into NTFS it wasn't shown correctly by system (it suggested me to re-format it into FAT32) but I could actually find it into ES File explorer after using Stickmount into sdcard/usbstorage, then I could use it into Poweramp as a normal folder. It's kinda weird but it works here...

Thanks man! This adoptable storage bs from google was driving me crazy. Now I can finally accomplish extremely difficult tasks like playing music from a microsd card on my Nexus 7.

I would add that with Stickmount you can go ahead and format your external storage into FAT32 and have both the system and the user apps (like Poweramp) read it.

how to transfer files using otg in marshmallow. we can able to view and use the files. if i need to transfer files from usb to mobile ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
In Marshmallow, it will automatically recognised your drive and show a usb symbol on the status bar on top.

You can now go to Settings - Storage&USB. Touch it and it will bring up the marshmallow own file manager. In this file manager, you can copy-paste file from the external drive to your internal storage.

If you want a full control. Use Root explorer or ES File manager. The external drive is located in "mnt - media_rw - your drive".

Always make sure to eject the drive after used. Only Fat32 file system.

Note: You can actually ditch out the stickmount app for good...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuitarGuy96:
You've got to get Stick Mount (latest update) and make sure the OTG mounts. If it does successfully, a toast appears showing WHERE it has mounted, and go to that location. For me, it was in

/sdcard/usbstorage/sda1

Weird it created a new path in the local memory itself, never seen that happen before.

But yeah, I just went to that path via Root Explorer and had full control over the data in the OTG like always

Weird.

I thought the OTG feature was broken... Whenever I connect my OTG (VoyagerGO 64GB) formated in NTFS, my Nexus 5 hangs and reboots in a loop until I remove the OTG... I'll try to format it in FAT32 and see what happens.

Does this happened to any of you?

Cheers!

Edit: It seems my OTG was the culprit. I've reformated it and it works now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RcketScientist:
From my investigations the reason folks are having issues with the OTG host is that it no longer mounts the external storage. You can query and access the storage through the Document API that was introduced in 5.0. Anything built to work directly with the file-system will fail since all access must go through the API now. Apps that can access the drive normally are likely using a custom driver much like ES and Nexus Media Importer did back in the day.

I use Total Commander with the NTFS and UMS plugins. Haven't had any issues with mounting the USB drive and I can copy from the OTG (NTFS formatted) but can't move as the file on the USB device isn't deleted after the move operation, so it ends up as just a copy operation.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbi1:
With cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NJ-d801 my USB is automatically mounted at /mnt/media_rw/. StickMount is useless because it doesn't like the Marshmallow permission system and just bails out every time. One of the previous posters mentioned an API that all apps must go through for file system access. That API seems to exclude /mnt/media_rw as a valid directory. I've tried about 5 media players all of which can't find the automatically mounted drive at /mnt/media_rw. Even when you explicitly provide that path via the GUI the app still doesn't accept that path. It may take a brute force solution that unmounts /mnt/media_rw and then remounts the USB drive at a mount point that the apps can see. Clearly some directory paths are making it through the API, the trick is to put the USB mount point in one of these. Could be done via Tasker/Automagic and/or a shell script executed after boot.

My solution:

I opened the default file manager of my Cyanogen mod rom (Resurection Remix, but Cy or other Roms work the same), then options, advanced > ROOT acces.

Than navigate to root (/), open folder 'mnt', than open folder 'media_rw' and there is my USB OTG drive (its a strange folder name, but just open it).

Open it again, click on the 3 dots in the bottom and choose 'Add to Favorites'.

Now you can navigate to it from the Hamburger menu.

when i had my nexus 5, with kitkat, otg worked. i also had to root the phone, install stickmount, and ntfs exfat apps in order to access external hard drives. i would be able to connect an external hard drive, and an external sd card if ever wanted to transfer files from sd card to hard drive when i'm on the road.

however, when I upgraded to 5.0, otg stopped working.. one of the things google did was to shore up security writes to external storage devices, and i suspect this was one reason why otg stopped working.

recently, last month, i updated 6.0.1, this time removed root, made it all stock, otg still not working anymore. i wiped the phone and tried a second time, otg still not working. and waiting for superuser to create the bug free version of root will take some time.

i've had it. guess it's time for me to upgrade to getting a laptop, surface pro 4.

i guess having a phone that does it all was all a wishful dream.
