Seems like android wear needs an update though to fully take advantage of it all. I'll wait for a deal to pick one up, and I'm sure by then someone will have tried it with ghost racer and posted results.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Screwedupsmitty:
Lol identical post times. But yeah I'm with you. I am looking for something with better battery life and screen based on common complaints from the sm3. Independent gps is a must to justify androidwear for me tho.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dbpaddler:
Yeah. I'm trying to avoid getting the Garmin, and I don't really "need" a smartwatch. Living with my TomTom multisport and carrying my Sansa clip with wired buds. Would love to ditch the combo. Not as concerned about battery life. Just want a seamless experience.

And with the way they update androidwear, I think it's the time to jump in with this generation of devices.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cifrasoft:
I'm happy user of SW3. As many people here, I use Ghostracer for GPS tracking. It 's not perfect, but quite good. Battery life may be an issue for long runs. GPS fix sometimes takes a long time, but otherwise GPS is quite accurate.

Do you get a GPS signal without connecting the watch to your phone? I am testing a smartwatch 3 and it need to be connected to my phone to find the place where I am. I am testing with Maps and Viewranger and none of them finds a signal.

hai guys any one using

fast charging

for sony xpeira z2 phones.., if yes, whats the time taken by phone to get fully charged? and is it worth to loose my warranty for fast charging?

thanks

help me
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
sony xperia z2 doesnt support fast charging and even with mods installed it charges in about the same time (thats based off of my experience)

typically charging time ranges between 40 mins and 3hrs peaking at 1400Mah Maximum
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nisarakramrocks:
Lol.. 3 hours that's too much.. Can't we do anything to vary that? How much time does it take for ur phone to charge
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
it usually doesn't take 3hrs unless google backup is syncing but often its a hour

ive found the fastest way to charge my phone is to put it in aeroplane mode and to stop all apps that shouldent be running

(some things i find helpful

- thicker usb cables

- shorter usb cables

- wallchargers that can push alot of power

- try plugging straight into a wall as laptops/computers/etc are slower)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7azemk:
I bought my HTC One m8 mobile from middle-east

and I'm in Germany for 2 months now, and since I'm in Germany I was using my mobile with a German Sim-Card normally

and last week I formatted my phone and now it's not able to detect German sim-cards anymore, but when I insert a middle-eastern Sim-Card, it works perfectly

I talked with HTC and they told me that after you format your phone in germany, the software limits the sim-cards

is there anyway to solve this problem ?

Thank you :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
How exactly did you "format" the phone?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7azemk:
I went to Options > Backup & reset > Reset phone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Strange, all this would have done is wipe user data, and shouldn't have caused the effect on the SIM that you describe.

And what HTC told you, doesn't make any sense either.
[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
I search for answer for that and never find.

Someone with the watch s2 3G can answer one time

Does the watch in the 3G version has a speaker and when you get any kind of notification does it sounds or only vibrate as the normal Bluetooth ver.

I am talking only about sound that come from notification on the watch.

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
The 3g definitely has a speaker on left side, and yes, you can assign either vibrations or sounds (probably both, but not 100% sure of that) to your notifications.
[Samsung Gear S2] warezhunt:
This is the main issue for me buying or not this watch , I need to have sound when getting notification , like in the gear s , like in apple watch , not only vibrate on the hand but sound .

So still no final and last answer for that simple question

I still hope someone can open my eyes with an answer

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
Yes, you can definitely get sound on the 3g S2 for notifications. I saw it on YouTube.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SxyLaraJolie:
Hello,

I have an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK which I bought less than one month ago. I can see that HTC have released an official WM6 upgrade for the phone but I cannot find an official upgrade on T-Mobiles UK site.

Can I use the official HTC WM6 ROM Update Utility and get my phone to WM6? If so when I boot my phone up into WM6 for the first time what must I do to get my GPRS settings etc. back on? Just use the online T-Mobile service which send s them?

I know it sounds like a n00bish question, but I've just got this phone and don't fancy bricking it just yet!

Any links to additional downloads, resources etc. would be well received.

Thanks everyone :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SxyLaraJolie:
Anyone able offer advice? I've done a lot of reading about this on the XDA-Developers site but I'm still in the dark about whether or not something might refuse to work after flashing or how to best avoid the dreaded bricking.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancell:
So I read an article previously that the Nexus 6 was suppose to have a fingerprint sensor in the little circle dippy spot the M logo is but it didn't happen.

Then I found this article: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/05/this-nexus-6-prototype-with-fingerprint-reader-is-neat/

After looking at the Nexus 5x teardown, I got to thinking if it would be possible to get a spare Nexus 6 back panel and drill or cut out the hole for the fingerprint sensor and somehow wire it into the Nexus 6?

This is by far just a thought at this point, but if the phone was possibly going to have it originally, perhaps the chips are possible to solder the board in somehow and then marshmallow perhaps would recognize it and allow it to be used like it was always there?

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318 Setp 6 shows the sensor
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roboots21:
If you look at the Nexus 6 teardown, and look at the pictures that show the camera in Step 9, specifically this picture:

[IMG="Possible Fingerprint contacts?"]https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/N1ANnbTCbT1WQCFF.huge[/IMG]

It looks almost like there is a set of contacts that match up perfectly to those of the fingerprint sensor from the N5X. So, pending the HW would recognize it's connected, there'd have to be a way to enable it in N6 SW, so you'd probably need root/custom ROM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancell:
Yea the chip board looks similar. I think I recall reading that marshmallow has the native fingerprint software built in. If thats the case, perhaps that would activate it internally if it were just hooked up, or a simple command line would do it. Perhaps someone would be brave enough to attempt it or know more to make it possible (if we can purchase the fingerprint reader cheap enough on the side).

My wife getting the 5x, I love the ease/quickness of the unlocking, but not enough to go from a Nexus 6 to a 6p and lose my Qi charging.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
If this does end up being possible, I'd be temped, especially considering the absolute plunging price for a Nexus 6 (they're down to $289 on amazon!).

It may be more realistic than most people think, there's a video from google that shows an original Nexus 5 modified with a fingerprint sensor.

https://youtu.be/VOn7VrTRlA4?t=176
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2CKilla:
hope this happens, wouldn't mind tearing a part a nexus 6 to have it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPalmares:
Yup, same here!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancell:
Perhaps it will take awhile to get the part cost down to a reasonable cost on this part. Only one I could find is about $82 on ebay, and its not worth that to me unless the costs come down a lot eventually.

When the first Samsung vibrant American model came out, it didn't have front facing camera but was equipped for it since the European model had ffc. I ended up ordering the camera, using nail polish remover to clean the ffc hole of the black paint and installing the camera. I had to run international rom for it to work obviously.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
Personally, if you want the finger print sensor so badly, it would be much better to just buy 5x and sell your Nexus 6. You can find deals on 5x if you look hard enough.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes but to be honest the 5x is a downgrade compared to the n6. So other then the fingerprint scanner it would be a bad idea.

Also here at XDA IT is better to mod your current device then wasting money to buy a new one.

For $12, if someone has the knowledge of what to do to make it hook up correctly, this is an affordable price that makes it worth trying for someone with the guts :) If someone is successful and posts a how to, I'd do it for sure.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriguyRN:
My bad, was just trying to talk to the guy with the cool prototype lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
Good point, but you can just go with 6p then. You can find good deals on it, and it's not that expensive. If you sell your N6, it's a much better and safer way to go than paying for part, messing up your N6, etc.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is true. But that is what we do. We mod. Sometimes it is both hardware and software. The real hard part would be drivers for it as Im betting that there aren't any as it was never made to have it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
And, I admire that. I just didn't want you to regret or lose out. Once you do that to your N6, you won't even be able to resell it (people won't feel comfortable buying that), and you won't be able to use it for trade-in either. I personally don't find the potential pros to outweigh the cost. Good luck though ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Oh agreed. If someone did this they would have to know that they will most likely have it till it breaks. Which is what I do. I buy all my devices retail and use then until they no longer work.

Mind you I have no need to do it as I have no use for a fp reader. But it would be a fun mod to try in a few years when my n6 is just about dead.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsillyman:
I don't get something... If it would be possible from the software side, where can i find fiting sensor? We must buy n5x just to take out the sensor? Sorry if it's a dummy question but I don't know if it's possible to buy just a sensor somewhere...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAT_lal:
Software mod would likely not be needed. I did experienced some issues with my Nexus 5X and sometimes my fingerprint disconnects it disapers from the settings menu after reconecting back it appears back in the menu.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancell:
To dig up an old thread, you can now get the sensor for about $6 shipped (even shipping from usa locations). Tempted to buy it and just put it against the chipboard where the sensor looks like it would line up and see if nougat will enable the option if it detects it? Anyone got the guts to be the test dummy? :) If it worked, I'd cut a fingerprint hold in my case and do it for sure for $6.

Main issue would be once you do lightup the board with the connector, not sure it would land right where the M logo is, so that may screw up the plan unless its easy to rewire its location somehow.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel85:
They are resistors for sure 100%, I'm a technician smartphone repair. Since I read this post I was asking myself where you seen contacts in the picture. Looking at the proto with fingerprint sensor,it seems it is attached to the volume ,and power flex. I think it could be almost impossible hardware and software side,even with an enormous work. In the prototype thread looks like someone wrote in Spanish that he owns a prototype with fingerprint sensor working... This could be of enormous help ,if he dump the nand and disassembly the device. In the HTC hd2 era some users had proto devices. Only difference was the proto only had 256 megs of ram instead of 512, and a different backplate. From China you could even order a replacement backplate exactly as the proto (same writings) but with red words instead of yellow
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
I'm gonna look into the flex cable, maybe the mobo connector never changed and they just changed the flex cable only to remove the finger print scanner since the mobo connector seems quite universal(quite a few pins for just some buttons only).

China is the way... When I had an Acer f1 s200 , I broke my touch , and found one from china . Acer s200 prototype had a front camera that was removed from the final product. The touch panel that came from china was from a proto , because had the front camera hole and the Acer logo on the front in different position, the phone motherboard had camera contacts in place,but I never tried to make it work because I bought an hd2 the month after. Same things with the HTC hd2, in china you could find parts from proto.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
The fingerprint sensor arrived.

Now I need to find out what type of connection is used by the n5x sensor (10 contact points) and if it is possible at all to connect it to the motherboard, getting the drivers working is a whole different matter that shouldn't be as big as an issue as getting it connected properly to the motherboard.

Looking at the one cable that goes off to the left from the main buttons cable, it seems like the piece of the PCB that would have had the hardware for the fingerprint sensor is taken off during production.

I don't see why this dead space would be here and in the prototype photo a cables goes here...I'd really like to buy that prototype just to reproduce that board and sensor
