[Samsung Gear S2] JazzMac251:
I get that there's a lot of "can't please everyone" talk going on here, but here's why the removal of these features is kind of nuts to me:

The single driving complaint the public has with this type of wearable technology is that it's pointless. The iPad and the iPhone were brilliant because they were able to fill a niche solving problems in people's lives that they didn't know existed. People argue that the physical form-factor limitations inherent with smartwatches makes them redundant at best and extravagantly wasteful at worst. The problem is that this characterization is largely correct.

For smartwatches to break out of that mold, I think the key is for them to be as Swiss-army-knife as possible. Can't find the remote, got it. Can't answer call because its impractical (hands full, can't find phone, doing chores, etc), got it. Would like to evaluate sleep habits, got it. Need to make NFC payment, got it. Want to track your heart rate, got it. The second you start dumping features is the second you move the device even more into the realm of "$300+ dollar device to check your email". The rotating bezel is super cool, but the primary concern people have with smartwatches is that they're pointless, not that they need to be easy to use.

The point I was trying to make is that I was one of the few people for whom Samsung successfully created a product that actually DID fill a unique little niche in my life. As they're trying to expand their product base, it seems the last thing they would want to do is create a flagship device that has absolutely 0 appeal to someone that is already super into smartwatches anyway.

This is actually the first time I've ever upgraded a piece of technology to find it woefully inadequate to what I already had. As a technophile, that's a really strange concept to me. The technology in device is great - I love the hardware, the software, and the implementation. Unfortunately, this device really is a $350 way to read text messages on your wrist and that's all it is, which is why I'll be returning it ASAP.

Also, I have to say, it kinda looks feminine. I much prefer the squared off look of the Gear 2. That's just personal preference, though.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Agree with everything you wrote except for the part where you said you think the watch looks kinda feminine. ?
[Samsung Gear S2] CehowardNote3:
:D, Gotta give the Star Wars Crack was a good one.

However, if the S2 was so much a winner, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Instead we all would be breaking or necks to get one. As you can see that is not the case. A lot of users that WOULD be breaking their necks to get on are instead turned off by the new design and features.

You can't ignore that, just read some of the comments.

Since I am a Samsung Fanboy, I will wait for the S3 and Note and see what happens!

I am a Star Wars fan, now I'm addicted to Guardians Of The Galaxy. :D
[Samsung Gear S2] integlikewhoa:
I'll gladly sale my gear 2 neo to anyone reading this.

IR blaster went away on phones and watch, just didn't make the cut for usability. I played with ir for the first day to show off then never used it again myself.

Camera in a watch was another one. Apple watch will sale a **** ton without these features for more money. It's not needed by enough people.

Speaker, u just bought the wrong model, but they should have put it in all models. I agree on that part.

Other problems are app issues and tizen is always gonna behind google wear, they are trying to swim upstream and I'm afraid they will never catchup in shear amount of apps.
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
The 3G model is not coming to all markets the UK being one.

Samsung is just a Apple sheep soon as the Apple watch fan boys like the whole making and taking calls Samsung will do the mother of U turn and the S3 gear will be out this time next year if not earlier.

My Gear 2 was great battery and did the notification basics and handy calling features but the lack of apps was a killer and here we are again the same crap this time 1000 apps at launch.
[Samsung Gear S2] mshagg:
I think the Neo was a massively underrated device and I'll be keeping mine.

That said, the additional functionality versus the S2 were largely novelty items for me... it's core functions of time, notifications and step tracking were all I used on a daily basis. I can understand the frustration if you used these regularly.

The form factor (s2 is a beautiful watch in its own right) and the bezel navigation are worth the price of admission IMO.
[Samsung Gear S2] Bladder61:
I agree with JazzMac about the S2. I have had the original "Galaxy Gear", Gear 2, Gear S, and then picked up a Gear S2. After 2 days I returned it. Loved the round form factor and rotating bezel, but realized I wanted at least the receive & talk capability on the watch. I would wait for the 3G version. I have had the 3G version for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. Does almost everything I want, has great battery life, and I enjoy the freedom of leaving my phone for runs and other quick trips and still being connected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Riley Williamson:
I ask for some help or rather come to you guys for help. I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 (As you could tell), I believe, the S4 I have is unlocked, meaning that it is Rooted and do have questions for you veterans, the guys that know how to do it right. So my first question is, what ROM do I use and how do I install one? Do you have one that you prefer, works best and makes the S4 a smooth, great experience? I would like to have a ROM, that gives me the Lollipop experience, if that helps out to what ROM I'm looking for. Secondly, is it a necessity for me to have a SD Card? I don't currently own one and though I am new to Rooting, I have tried this before and failed, almost getting my S4 bricked because I didn't know what I was doing, which is why I have come to you guys :)

Much help is appreciated.

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asotos:
I'm a new MIUI user, and I just encountered this screen after my first OTA update ever. I use a MIUI 8 Global Developer ROM on a Xiaomi Mi 5 (with Unlocked Bootloader).

One way I found to avoid this screen, is by removing the SIM card and rebooting. I re-insert the SIM after MIUI has booted properly.

I don't think that's very good for the phone (or the SIM). That's just a temporary solution, until I manage to figure out what's going on...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwan.l:
Hi,

I did not find much informations on the i9195L (note the "L") so i am creating a new thread.

I bought and successfully flashed (using cmw as recovery) a few i9195.

Today I got this new i9195l - black editions for my sun.

It has 4 cores (arm cortex @ 1.20) and uses an adreno 306 gpu.

Looks good except I am unable to flash it:

-put it in download mode

-send the cwm 6.0.5.1

-reboot in recovery mode

-tells me "could not boot in normal mode"

-knox warranty is now void (as expected)

Tried to flash a few times, with or without reboot, with or with f reset time, nothing works :(

Something which seems to be new : it mentions "qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)".

Any idea?

I would really like to flash a cyanogen 12.x like I did on my other s4 mini phones...

Regards,

Erwan
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cLick1338:
Bump. I'm interested too, I want to buy one but I'm not sure about the modding possibilities. You might be wrong about the L though. I found a model with the same specs, but it's an i9195i.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwan.l:
Right ! this is an i not an l (for letter).

seems it also goes under the name S4 mini plus ? see here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62212646&postcount=51 .

I believe we need a recovery built for this device specific kernel, a specific CM version?

more information here : http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/110203-gt-i9195i-supported/ .

Seems some guys managed to root it and also that there is a twrp variant.

My concern with flashing a new image is it wont be signed correctly and the secureboot will reject it.

Or will a custom recovery take the secureboot away?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jbeyer:
I have flashed/reflashed it with many ROM's and no change. This has to be a hardware issue. This usually happens when I leave it in my back pocket and sit on it (I don't weigh that much.) I have tried to soft/hard reset and no luck. When it does turn on, it will start up and after everything has loaded it fades to a white screen. I have noticed that when I take it apart, all the way to the screen and put it back together, it works. I have read the post about the rip in the screen connector cable. But after inspecting mine, I could not find any rip.

Also, people are having trouble hearing me when I'm on the phone with them. this seems to be an issue with the mic. I have heard of other people on here with the same issue but no resolution.

Try loosening up the screws that attach the LSD to the front panel. That is what worked on mine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jbeyer:
LSD? are you talking about the sliding device? Cloud you please be more specific? is this for the screen or the mic?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rest2137:
I'm sorry, I meant LCD(don't even want to think about what kind of freudian slip that was).

But you know when you take it apart, the front of the phone, where the LCD is attached. There are 4 screws to get inside that front casing then there are 4 screws holding it on to the front casing on the inside.

I slightly loosened all 8 screws (the 4 on the inside and when I closed the casing back, those 4 also) and the white screen stopped when I got the phone back together.
[Windows Mobile] win10fan:
Hello. I was using windows 10 on my phone since it was released as insider preview. Today I decided to go back to 8.1 via the microsoft official tool and then update again to 10, because of the new updates that I wasn't able to get by the normal way. I have done this before, totally works. I connected the phone into the PC via the USB and the software started to download the package, then started installing. In the middle of the installation, the connection between the PC and the phone broke.(Later on I discovered that the USB didn't work properly....) and yeah, after that the only thing that was on the phone was a RED screen(I see this for the first time and yet I have done this before) with Nokia text on it and a progress bar. I tried to turn off the phone, but it didn't work. Couple of minutes ago the phone turned down itself and that was it. Since then, I can't turn it on. I tried holding the volume down button + power button - nothing, I tried with holding the volume down button + power button + camera button - still nothing. When I try to connect it to my PC(with working USB lol) it only says that the device is not recognized....

So, is there any way I can fix this without returning it to the store? I still can't figure out why the screen was RED and why an installation failure didn't just sent me back to the version I was on, instead of doing this... Any suggestions?

Hi,

first time here, first question.

I can work with debian but I am newbie for smartphones, my first one is Chinese uhappy up920, android 4.4.2, it is rooted with kingo, I have installed busybox and ROM Toolbox Lite, and Terminal IDE.

first I tried to install some applications for changing MAC address but non of them worked, then I tried with terminal and no success.

I am interested to change mac address without applications, simply from terminal, as i would do in linux. but in linux macchanger should be installed. sudo macchager -m AA:BB:CB:EE:FF eth0/wlan0

I tried also apt-get like in linux but it is not recognized as command, so, I don't know how to install something from terminal in android. is it possible? there are repositories in linux, I don't know for android.

I tried:
