[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingerprince:
Hi All

I am currently in the process of installing my Note 2 into my car as a permanent fixture for media and sat nav. It is now flush mounted in fibreglass in my dashboadd, charging through USB and audio through 3.5mm. I want to use my UCA202 DAC which will allow better sound, but crucially allow me to mix my main phone audio through it for handsfree. For this I need to be able to charge and use OtG at the same time. This I know has been done to death, but what I haven't seen follows...

It is known that you can retrofit an inductive coil for wireless charging but it's slowslow. My question is, has anyone tried hard wiring 5v from a USB cable DIRECTLY to the 5v pins inside the back.? Is this likely to work or will the hardware specifically expect to see resistances etc associated with a coil? If it does work does it fast charge? If over 500ma?

It doesn't matter if it looks dirty because it'll be hidden behind my dash. Just curious if anyone has tried it before I try and send my phone up in smoke :)

Cheers

Sorry can someone please move to Q&A. Not been here a while and didn't see the button. Ta
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VarDes:
I don't think so. It is limited to 1A tops i think (can go higher, but 1.2A is already dangerous.), so Your best call is to get an OTG Y-splitter which lets you charge + otg at the same time, but i can't tell You im 100% sure about that (about 95% sure it will work, since my multimedia dock is basically same thing, but along with MHL and audio jack:).

[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
So, the Nexus 6P was going to be available from 13-nov at CoolBlue in the Netherlands.

Yesterday I decided to pre-order it, but didn't do it yesterday, did it this morning.

Bad move... The new estimated delivery is changed to 28-11 now..

Anyone else that ordered it in the Netherlands/Belgium?

So for now I have the following ETDs:

CoolBlue:

Graphite 64gb: In stock! Out of stock again as well!

Graphite 32gb: In stock!

Aluminium 64gb: Postponed

Aluminium 32gb: In stock!

Frost 64gb: In stock!

Bol.com:

Graphite 32gb: In stock!

Aluminium 32gb: In stock!
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
The shipping date has been delayed by Coolblue for everyone, not just for you. Doesn't matter if you pre-ordered sooner or later. I ordered on day one within the first 30 minutes, and I have the same estimated shipping date as you.
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
Oh, that's too bad...

I was thinking it was sold out and a new batch would arrive then...

Good for me to know that I wasn't "too late", bad to hear that everyone is delayed..

Hopefully they can put the order forward some time again as well.

I saw that other colors/sizes have other shipping dates as well though, but the 64GB/Black was delayed the most. :(

Edit:

I just ordered a case, which will arrive between 9-11 and 11-11...

Pfff, and then I have to wait 17~19 days more till I have the device, haha!
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
Hoping this might be the case, too. It seems to me that Coolblue and other resellers have very little info on when to expect stock, so the current estimates might well turn out to be wrong. It actually seems like Google is pushing orders out as fast as they can all over the globe, so maybe EU resellers will get their shipments in quicker than expected, too.
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
I got this information from CoolBlue:

Freely translated: We can't deliver the Huawei Nexus 6P before the 28th. We expect it on 28 November, but we can't guarantee 100% that it will actually arrive then because we are depending on our suppliers.
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
I'll keep an eye out on the shpping dates and I"ll keep this thread updated with the dates from CoolBlue.

If someone wants me to keep an eye out on other sites as well, please let me know. :)
[Nexus 6P General] aygul12345:
Ben uiteraad benieuwd naar dit toestel. wil de 64 gb model bestellen... Jammer genoeg dat het zo laat in NL beschikbaar is
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
32gb postponed

CoolBlue just updated their site for the 32gb Graphite/Aluminium versions.

They delayed it even more to 28-11 (same as the Graphite 64GB one, which was at 28-11 already).
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
Pffff, got an email from CoolBlue about the Graphite 64gb:

Freely translated: On basis of the information we got from Huawei, we expect to be able to deliver the device on November 30th.

:(
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
That sucks, mate. Good to hear you at least got notified by Coolblue. The first time the date for my Aluminium 64GB preorder was pushed back, I never got an email, I found out by randomly checking the product webpage.
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
That's just plain annoying when they don't notify if a change occurs...

I got the mail stating it will be delivered probably Nov 30, but the website still states Nov 28 (And I got a reply from CS on a ticket this morning as well, stating Nov 28).

Now, what will it be... :p
[Nexus 6P General] aygul12345:
What about ordering fron the nexus website?
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
Google's site gives [IMG="Google Nexus 6P"]http://img.casmo.nl/3a99de.png[/IMG] :(

And Huawei site gives out of stock.

So, those aren't an option.
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
I suspect they will be an option soon. Like with the Nexus 5X, I think the Google Store might start accepting preorders about a week before the shipping date - so, some time next week.
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
Heads up: the 32GB Aluminium 6P has had its shipping date pushed forward on Coolblue - it's now expected to arrive 18/11, which is in 2 days!

Also, the same model is expected to arrive on the same day on bol.com.

Could this be the new launch date, based on the most recent info from Huawei? I'm certainly hoping Google Store sales will start on Wednesday! My F5 key is ready.
[Nexus 6P General] xxxmarienxxx:
I secretly hope T-mobile will do a similar deal with the Nexus 6P as they did with the Nexus 5X (50% off contract for 24months), and otherwise I'll order when they're available with contract from belsimpel.nl
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
:eek: That sounds good! Hopefully they'll push the 64GB Graphite forward as well (and others :fingers-crossed:)!

I'm still waiting for my case and screenprotector as well though, but I should be expecting the case somewhere this week as well (according to Google CS NL)...

I see Bol.com also has the 64GB32GB one ready for 23-11...

http://www.bol.com/nl/p/huawei-nexus-6p-zwart/9200000050383516/ :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] ZeGuitarist:
That link takes me to the 32GB one. I've searched, but I can't find the 64GB on bol.com, either.

Not that I would buy from them, anyway - terrible customer service.
[Nexus 6P General] Casmo:
Oh, you are right... I thought it was the 64gb.... :p
[General Questions and Answers] MongolZak:
Incoming and outgoing calls are shown as "Unkown" (Custom ROM and living abroad)

I recently installed the Exodus Rom on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 and then moved to Mongolia.

Now, all of my incoming and outgoing calls are listed as "Unknown"

I believe I fixed this in the past with another phone and it was very simple, but I just can't remember how I did it. Any advice?

PS I really enjoy the Exodus Rom
[General Questions and Answers] MongolZak:
I read that fixing permissions may help..... but couldn't that also mess up my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] MongolZak:
Anyone? I know this is a common problem, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] dev_0905:
Seems to be a service provider problem. Either you are not being sent the caller id, or your phone is unable to read the send id.

Had a similar problem when i moved to Germany from India and calling up the service provider solved the problem..they activated the "show caller id" which was not activated due to some reason.

Call the service provider and tell them your problem...it most likely will be solved. Let me know if it does
[General Questions and Answers] MongolZak:
Actually, If I don't use a CM based mod it works fine... It is only on CM based mods. I went to a service provider store and they punched in a code... but it didn't fix it. They were confused and told me I should have my phone fixed.

hi, I have a i9100G s2, which is operating normally, but does not turn off once more by power button,

but removing and reinserting the battery alone and then you start running properly (stock firmware) I tried to reset but nothing.

What can be?

I try to install new firmware with Odin?

To go into recovery mode or download must first hold down the appropriate keys and then insert the battery, otherwise it goes through

thank you

[Samsung Gear S2] ThyMaster:
My Gear S2 Classic verdict after 1 month every day use:

Pros:

-	Absolutely office compatible, looks great, really nice to wear and not too big for slim-wristed people like me

-	Great battery time, runs in between 36h and 48h (I use it for time, notifications from 11 apps and 30 min sport recording every day)

-	Excellent display (its AMOLED after all), even in strong daylight

-	Probably the very best user interface, the bezel/lunette with the two buttons makes it very intuitive and easy to operate

-	Thanks to MRTIMEMAKER endless watch faces (you basically don’t have to buy any…)

-	Sturdy build (but also see cons for screen)

-	Easy to connect and to administrate via GEAR App on my Samsung S6 edge

-	All the apps shipping with it cover all my everyday’s needs

Neutral

-	No speaker, I don’t really need it but the alarm clock is a bit lame using vibrations only

-	Vibrations are quite weak (had to set it to strong and long duration to surely recognize them)

-	HERE maps directions are not always distinct, so I have to look at my phone from time-to-time

-	Built-in keyboard is hard to use and not really adapted to a round watch-face

-	Currently very few applications in store (but it is getting a bit better everyday)

Cons

-	S Voice is inferior to OK Google or Siri but it is needed due to mediocre keyboard

-	No integration of Google Maps, Voice Search and only partly support of Google Now notifications (only first notification is displayed)

-	Screen is only Gorilla glass, competition uses sapphire glass

-	Notifications get overwritten by newer ones if they come from a different app (except for emails and SMS)

-	Only the original charger (which is very pricey) works with this smartwatch, even that it seems to use wireless charging standards...

So at a scale from 1 to 10 (10 is best) I would give this watch an 8. With more apps to come it will get a straight 10!

My wishes for apps would be:

-	Integration of Google Maps and Voice

-	Keyboard alternatives

-	Displaying (and editing to some extend) of notes apps like Google Notes, MS Notes etc

-	A (working!) sleep tracker

-	More information (tags) on currently played music in music app

-	A simple(!) stock ticker
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Thanks for the review. Min shows up tonight and I am particularly interested in your experience with other chargers. What did you try?

Thanks,

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] realsol:
I totally agree with your review. I bought both S2's. For me, the classic was a little smaller than the 'sport'. The classic should have been larger to justify the $50 extra.
[Samsung Gear S2] Jeshter2000:
Uses Google Maps.. just a heads up...
[Samsung Gear S2] diamondjon:
Great review and very true. I used the gear s2 (non-classic) for a few weeks before I returned it. I will be getting the 3g version from verizon.

a huge upgrade for me would be the google now notifications all showing. In addition, the sleep tracking option would be great (which apparently will be available at some point based on other discussions online). The no speaker is a bit annoying, and I refuse to walk around with a bluetooth headset just so that I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket. Overall it seems that Samsung did a great job with this watch, and should be able to make it close to a "10" with a few further updates. I did find that the battery life could have been stronger too.

My desires for Samsung would be:

Full view of google now notifications (so basically pulling everything from my google now even if it wasn't a recent notification)

Sleep tracking (with the option of shutting everything on the watch aside from the time and the tracking items)

Customizable "sleep mode" (as opposed to only do not disturb and battery saving mode)

"watch only" mode (it would be nice to have my watch only without any notifications or anything else at times while saving battery-which would turn off all the "ometers", bluetooth, vibration, etc. and just give me the time)

Fast charging (this could hurt battery life, but it would be nice instead of the 2:15 it took to charge from 0-100% even if it's only to get a 25% boost in 10 minutes or whatever on a 250 mah battery... my notes 4 with off 300mah takes an hour to charge)

Overall... GREAT job samsung... really loved the watch. And looking forward to receipt of my 3g version
[Samsung Gear S2] Harmon Rabb:
I have a sport but agree with most of this. I also have a moto 360, and save for the lack of Google maps and s voice instead of Google now, I find the s2 more powerful and enjoyable.

I also find the ui a lot more intuitive. Android wear you just need to memorize which swipe does what, there's nothing to clue you in. On the s2, it is apparent just by looking at it how to do most things.

They have really delivered on this, great first showing for this update to tizen and ui paradigm.

Swap google now for s voice, get Google maps going, offer a larger size, and they have a pretty compelling case to ditch android wear.
[Samsung Gear S2] gottria:
Great review, thanks. Any updates since last written? The Gear S2 classic grabbed my attention and since my pebble steel is having issues with it's screen I figure it's time to start shopping. I have a note 5 and don't use S-voice as I find OK google works better, getting the S2 I assume I can't use that. So that brings me over to android wear.
[Samsung Gear S2] jacobgong:
sapphire crystal glass is fare more reflective than gorilla glass, so using it will also make the watch less visible under sunlight.

Mr.time maker is really ****ty it doesn't support anything other than watch face + 2 hands, might as well use the stock watch faces.
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
To be fair, Mr timemaker also supports something like three or four complications as well as many cool faces -- all for free. Nice change from stock faces without breaking the bank. For something more complex, then samsung gear watch designer software is a good bet.
[Samsung Gear S2] jacobgong:
Yes but the complication support is useless because you can't customise it so it never fits with the rest of the watch face.

it disgusts me to see a "tourbillon" watch that just has a Google image of a fixed tourbillon, or a white "complication" that doesn't even fit into the slot of where the complication is supposed to go on the watch face.
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
It works fine with many faces but I agree the lack of customization isn't ideal and doesn't fit well with some designs. If you're looking for something more robust I suggest using Gear Watch Designer.
[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
After 2 months of use, my review of my G2 Classic:

1-Overall a good watch. Looks good, works well enough. I'll keep it.

2-POOR ALARM!! The main reason I use a smart watch is to get notifications and if this is so weak it does not wake me up in the morning or alert me of an email then it is a major fail for the watch.

3-Once I turn off those apps and functions I simply do not need or use (wifi, NFC, etc.) I get 2 days of battery life.

4-Screen is bright enough to be seen in direct sunlight - a major requirement for me.

5-The watch is waterproof - a major requirement for me.

6- The watch works with multiple email programs - a major requirement for me.

7-The watch functions are easy to work with in the most part.

8-Weather and Step Count are poor. The weather doesn't update hourly when you select that option. Only updates when I force it. Steps are off by several hundred from my phone. Not show stoppers, but poor. ((UPDATE - I just deleted all my non-stock Note 4 weather programs and used the one that came with the phone. Lo and behold it now updates hourly. So... use the stock weather app. Problem solved.)) ((CHANGE 2 24 Jan - now it doesn't work. Not sure why.))

9-Samsung Customer Service on this watch sucks. I called a couple of times and got people in India who obviously never heard of the watch and had nothing to offer.

What I"d like to see:

1-Get the damn update out! It's been a couple months and nothing in the US. I hear some of my criticisms will be answer by that.

2-Make the Weather and Step functions work as advertised.

3-FIX THE DAMN VIBRATION!! This is a major fail for the watch and the one reason why I do not recommend it to other professionals. It simply does not help me manage my time and, though I like the watch, had I suspected this I probably would have kept my Pebble. It woke me up in the morning.

4-The ability to set reminders by voice with Google Now off the watch. This is a function I use extensively on my phone and it would be better off my watch. Pebble actually has a separate app that does this as well and that would work too.

Some want more watch faces, more apps, etc. But since I'm not launching nuclear missiles from my watch I really don't want that much functionality. I don't need to see my photos on my watch, control my music, navigate, or many of the other things this watch does. I want some simple health functions, trustworthy notifications, and that's about it. I have one or two watch faces I use and I'm happy with that.
[Samsung Gear S2] mikesaa309:
I've had my S2 Classic for 3 days now and I have no issues with notifications. What did you mean by the notifications getting over written? I've not yet had this issue. I can have notifications from sms, google+, facebook etc and can easily act upon them like comment on a google+ post. Unless you meant the same app it'll over write the notification or maybe I miss read. The keyboard I guess is mediocre but isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Is annoying that if you use made up words like nicknames for example you have no option but to press and hold the keys to choose individual specific letters but once you do that once you can save a word and I'm pretty impressed with the text prediction on it. Other than that I can type relatively quickly on it just having to get used to wear all the letters are now I'm used to using a qwerty keyboard on my phone lol.

S-voice is a little bit of a let down and would prefer the option to have google now but again it works better than expected seems to recognize what I say most of the time although is a little slow especially compared to google now. The only real massive fault I don't like about it is the lack of apps but this may improve with time and I hope it does because the bezel feature is pretty cool and it has potential just hope Samsung do all they can to get devs to make apps for it. The watch is smaller than I thought after looking at videos and pictures online but content is still readable and I compared it to my dad's wrist watch and the S2 is slightly bigger but is roughly the same size so helps give the look of an ordinary wrist watch which I like. Plus isn't bulky unlike my sony smart watch first gen.
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
I keep reading about weak vibrations which is strange. I set my Classic to long/strong vibration settings and always feel the vibration when it goes off. Maybe different on the sporty gear s2? Or just personal preference perhaps.
[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
I had a Pebble and the vibration was strong enough to wake me from a deep sleep. The one on my S2 Classic is hard to feel when I'm awake, much less asleep. It's subtle enough that I have missed calls and calendar notifications. Glad it works for you but it sure doesn't work for me. Its several magnitudes weaker than Pebble.
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
Ah that makes sense... I never owned a pebble but I can see how going from one device with much stronger vibrations to another one with weaker vibrations might be a problem. I don't use my Classic's alarm for sleep either (although I am a light sleeper anyhow so I imagine it would be ok for me there too lol). Ok, thanks for clearing it up for me. Hopefully samsung pushes out a future update that allows for greater vibration intensity (if the hardware supports it, that is). Personally I wish every smartwatch had a speaker too, so we wouldn't be forced to rely on vibrations all the time :)
[Samsung Gear S2] A0425A:
+1
[Samsung Gear S2] jhonjey66:
After one month...

CONS

- I want SLEEP TRACKING!!!

- The bug of the alarm HAS TO BE FIXED asap

- There is no sound alarm (very bad)

PRO

- I don't use notification, so my watch is rarely connected, so my battery life is 4 days long (UAU!!!)

- Great screen

- Great usability

- Very elegant (I have the classic)

- Great designer for the watchfaces (attached my own face...)

- For my needs the APPs are sufficent

Final vote: 8 (it will become 9 with the Sleep Tracking)
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
I have a Huawei Android Wear, and my opinion is the same as yours.

I went back and forth between the two for several weeks, and eventually just accepted the few limitations of the S2 3G vs. AW, and haven't had the Huawei on my wrist now for 3 weeks or so.

I'm a weather buff, so the one thing in addition to OK Google that I missed was the InstaWeather watch faces. They are absolutely awesome, with a really good animated radar face, and several others that are great.

I simply had to wean myself from glancing at my watch to see what's going on weatherwise (animated radar!), what was coming in terms of forecast, etc. It was painful, but not too much, and I found what I feel is among the best weather apps for Android out there, MyWeather. That helped a lot -- incredible graphical information, forecasts, etc.

If you like weather, download this app now, and have fun watching what's going on on the west coast right now as I type this :D

As for the rest, I really value the ability to make/receive calls, so the speaker is a big plus. The standalone 3G was a great bonus, but now that I've had it a while I'm find it far more valuable as a feature than I initially thought.

So, at this point the only thing I really have as a significant complaint is the poor performance of S-Voice. I've learned (and am still learning) the quirks of the program so that I can make it as successful for me as possible, but it falls far short of Google's voice recognition servers.
