[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer147:
I was searching for a way to get past this too. Finally stumbled upon one after hours of messing around. Worked for me, hope it works for you too.

1. First download hotspot shield or any other vpn app from the playstore.

2. Disable google play services and sign out from your google account.

3. In Settings, go to location and choose "device only".

4. Download google play services from your browser.

5. Start hotspot shield and change location to America or any place where google now is available.

6. Install google play services that you've downloaded via your web browser (Please note that you have to allow installation of apps from unknown sources which can be done in security)

7. Sign in to your google account. You should be able to activate google now under Settings > Now Cards.

8. Once activated, uninstall google play services update that you've installed or disable it again and re-enable it. (If you are able to download apps from the playstore, then you can skip steps 8 to 11)

9. Turn off hotspot shield.

10. Go to apps, search for google playstore and clear data and cache.

11. Now go to google now and select update google play services.

Google Now should work now.

No ROOT is required here in this method, right?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer147:
Nope. No root required
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shufal:
NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.

Seems Hotspot Shield didn't work. Probably Rooting and trying would be only option..

[Nexus 5X Accessories] lanternca:
hi all. wondering if anyone has seen either of these products?

1. A slim portable charger that has a built in type C charger...basically something like this: http://www.amazon.com/LinearFlux-Portable-Charger-Micro-USB-Devices/dp/B00L3MNYV6 (but with a type C and not micro usb). I don't even need to be super fast, but bonus points if it can still charge rapidly.

2. An adaptor that is female type-C to male micro-usb. Most adapters I've seen are the other way around (and yes, I'm still waiting for one to be certified by Benson). In my case, I'm looking to carry the Google charger (https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger) with me. However, I'd like to able to charge other micro-usb devices with that cable and not carry another charger (eg work blackberry, portable battery pack that has a micro input slot, wife's Note4, etc).

Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] myster1ous:
I just bought this portable charger with usb type c built in. http://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAVPower-20100mAh-External-Technology/dp/B0156HCJQO

It's on it's way.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
Ok, seriously, the MOMENT you get this thing please post results. It says 3A under the type C port and that is EXACTLY what I am looking for if it does actually charge our phones at 3A.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] lanternca:
Agreed. Looks really promising, but I'd still love to have a smaller, thinner one with a built-in type C cable...Thanks for posting though, I will definitely look into it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] myster1ous:
Just got it! Works awesome. I would say, it's as big as a phablet, twice as wide. It does charge rapidly with the Google USB type C cord that comes with the phone. You can charge this using a micro USB, or the included cord that came with the phone. It's a bit on the heavy side, but I need the juice to last me since I'll be in the woods all weekend long for the big hunt. Overall, it does what it says. I'm happy with the purchase.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
That is big but that is a lot of juice. Probably 4 charges easily.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kellybrf:
I've got it and it's not small but is very good. with the 5x you could probably get close to a weeks worth of charges out of it
[Nexus 5X Accessories] banksc:
...but what is the current measurement? Reporting 'charging rapidly' doesn't mean much.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It was listed in that Google Sheets document but I do agree it would be nice to see measurements. I also wish they had a 10,000mAh size pack for a more compact size.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Mobile number tracker:
Amazon is best place to buy any product.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] basill:
Although it does not precisely fit the OPs request, Anker have released a 20100mAh pack with USB C http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00M0EWED0 I thought it worth posting as packs wit USB C are so thin on the ground so far.

Looks like max charge rate is 2.4A per port not the 3 we might have hoped for. This is the same rating as the Micro USB version of this pack I already own. The USB C has improvements such as metal construction and faster recharging of the pack using the USB C for input. Not enough for me to upgrade.

There were two smaller power packs with USB C listed on the Anker website recently but these have disappeared from the coming soon page :(

B
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
I just got mine and its also reporting a full 3amp charge. Its also fine with charging from the type C as well apparently so it can reuse your existing charger (it says micro in but you dont have to use that one).

Its a big heavy beast but its got a lot of range so this will work for camping and traveling. Now I just need to find a compact one (preferably with an integrated type-c cable) for a booster when on the motorcycle.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Beakerzor:
aw, that totally sucks, why do merchants keep trying to lie to us

thank goodness we can return items, though
[Nexus 5X Accessories] basill:
Ive just looked up the Anker USB C pack on their website again, Although it is not made clear in the product description, someone has asked about charging a N5x using the C port and the answer from the Anker teamQ+A is that the C port is 3A after all.

http://www.ianker.com/product/A1371011

Thats great news, I am a bit of a fan of Anker products, I hope they do produce a smaller USB C pack in time.

B
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I'm waiting for a pack that's around 10000 capacity for better portability.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
I want that too. Id love a small like 3-4k one with the cable built in like Anker makes for micro SD just for using a spare while on the motorcycle but I am glad I picked this up. Its great for long-distance trips and can charge multiple devices without noticing.

Unfortunately I did notice one shortcoming, while it charges my N5x rapidly the charging of the Nexus 9 is horrifically slow, like .5amp slow. For some reason it must not be communicating properly with the tablet to do the full two amp charge.

Your experience with the Urbane 2 LTE

Hi there, I'm also waiting on a forum. But, in the meantime, I'm thinking seriously about buying an Urbane 2 LTE, but have several concerns and thought perhaps you guys might be able to answer them. And all of my questions relate to when it is NOT connected to my smartphone.

1. Will it send and receive calls even when connected to wifi (I don't mean through wifi as I know that isn't possible)? I read in one review that this was a problem.

2. Can I receive my Exchange email through the watch?

3. Are you able to connect to a secured wifi network (i.e., insert a password) without being connected to your phone? Again, this concern came up in a recent review.

4. Can the watch accept Google Voice text messages?

5. How is the call quality talking (for the person you call) and listening (is the speaker loud enough under normal conditions)?

6. Can you easily connect the watch to a bluetooth headset?

7. How is OK Google working? One reviewer said it failed a bunch.

8. How well does it maintain a steady data connection with a link to a phone? Another reviewer concern.

9.

FYI, verizon launch was canceled and all pre-orders orders will be canceled. Big red strikes again.
[LG Watch Urbane] robroy90:
Same here. I got mine from AT&T on Tuesday. Love it so far.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

My experiences so far on the AT&T Urbane LTE and a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5:

1. Yes, as far as I can tell as it has its own SIM card, so it has a full cellular radio in it and has its own phone # assigned to it.

2. I don't think it has a full email client on it that I have found anyway. I am also an exchange user trying to find how to get notifications.

3. Yes, you can join WiFi networks that use a passkey/password, but nothing certificate based. Mine pulled the ones my phone knew of.

4. Kind-of. I took the Phone # assigned to the watch and added it to Google Voice as another phone. The notifications I get on a GV Text Message show the random numbers that GV uses as a portal, not the actual # of the person sending me a text message. I don't think there is a google voice app for android wear. At least not one I have found.

5. I think the call quality from the watch itself is quite good. Plenty loud enough and definitely clear. I wouldn't use it often, but in a pinch I wouldn't hesitate to use it either.

6. I have not tried this yet, but I will and let you know.

7. OK Google has not failed me yet. It is responsive and works just like it would on a Nexus Phone as far as I can tell.

8. As far as I can tell, the connection (bluetooth) between my Note 5 and the Urbane is quite robust. I went down the hall to the restroom in my office and left my phone on my desk. I had a phone call on my Note 5 while I was away from my desk and it "rang" on my watch just fine.

As an afterthought, it is probably worth noting that as I am not a current AT&T customer, I bought the watch outright with no contract for $299 so I wasn't locked into a data plan more than month-to-month. As such, I am currently paying a ridiculous $30 a month for a measly 300MB of data for the watch by itself and I am still trying to determine exactly how, when, where, and why it uses data on its own 3G/LTE radio.

I don't plan to separate the watch and my phone often, and I can't see the need to make a voice call on the watch without using my phone, so I am not sure I am going to keep the data plan from AT&T until I learn more about how it works. I have one of those "free" 200MB per month SIM cards from T-Mobile, and I can tell you the watch does NOT appear to be SIM-locked, much to my surprise.

More experimentation to follow. I'd love to hear what others have learned in using theirs thus far.

-Rob
[LG Watch Urbane] drjim:
Great insights!

Really helpful, Rob! I can't wait till xda gets a forum for this smarthwatch.

I had a typo for #8. I'm interested in the quality and consistency of the data connection when NOT connected to your phone.

A few follow-up questions.

1. So it sounds like you receive GV text messages even with a funky sender #. But can you also send texts through GV? I seem recall reading that Hangouts (into which GV is now integrated) has a smartwatch app. But I find Hangouts cumbersome because you have to go through several screens to just get to text messages.

2. Without Exchange, what are you doing about email? I emailed an called Nine that appears to do what we want, but haven't heard back. Will report when I do.

I'm going to test out a U2 (that's a much better shortened name!) this morning and will report back if I learn anything.

Many thanks!
[LG Watch Urbane] robroy90:
I just downloaded and installed the Nine email client. It seems to work great, but I can't figure out how or where to enable Wear notifications.
[LG Watch Urbane] drjim:
I haven't explored it much yet. Did you install Nine on your watch as well? Perhaps go to their customer support and email them?
[LG Watch Urbane] robroy90:
I didn't see an option to install it on the watch. I sent a query to them.
[LG Watch Urbane] drjim:
Here a few possibilities:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bluemail.mail

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook

None of them indicate specifically about standalone smartwatches, but they say they are for Android Wear.

Also, do you have a gmail account? I believe there is a way to have Exchange email forwarded to gmail and have emails from gmail to show your Exchange email address.

Oh, is there a keyboard for inputting texts and emails?

BTW, did you see this app? Looks really practical: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher
[LG Watch Urbane] KiakSvk:

[LG Watch Urbane] Tower1972:
while I have an love mine, I am still going to wait for a more detailed reason other then Unspecified Hardware Issue. I had it for a week tomorrow and the only issue I have is LTE connection is spotty at best, it seems to be stuck mostly on HSPA

One negative effect is see from this is software updates. When I had the LG G watch, I remember that being rooted. So if this "issue" is nothing to major, maybe someone with the experience will be able to root this beast so we can essentially still have updates, just not from LG specifically
[LG Watch Urbane] player911:
Wow. I wonder why they were shelved? I was going to upgrade to this from a G Watch.

Maybe we can find them on a fire clearance sale?
[LG Watch Urbane] robroy90:

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

Wow, glad I grabbed mine so aggressively when I did. I am not going to blindly just return mine (unless my wrist catches on fire... lol). I would like a detailed explanation on what this "serious hardware issue is". As far as it maybe being an issue where it drops to HSPA in an otherwise strong LTE service area, I could not care less. I don't think my watch needs the blazing fast speeds of LTE anyway. Someone posted about how cool it would be for it to be a hotspot?!? What, for 10 minutes before the battery dies... LOL. I am happy, and unless mine starts acting really wonky, I am definitely keeping it.
[LG Watch Urbane] HolyGrail:
Well regardless of possible reasons, I'll be keeping mine. Yeah its only been a few days with the watch, but it has been a few days of heavy usage bliss. This is the first smart watch, that I have ever used, that does everything well, (well at least the things that are important for me to have in a smartwatch). So a later patch not coming for my device, (can't speak for others owners), won't be so bad for me, since everything I want to work....works great already, and if I return it, what other option is out there? All the other watches I tried don't work as good as this one for the things I want to work.....and this one has the best battery life to boot. Besides, I don't know why everyone thinks a software update won't come. Google controls android wear, an I don't think their going to not update their software.

If they scrap this one and release a new one a year from now, I'll check out that option when that bridge is crossed, but in the mean time, i'm keeping this bad boy. :cool:

Oh and if anyone has every used watchmaker before (lets you design your own watch faces), It appears to be working great for me. Just a heads up.
[LG Watch Urbane] Zagzagel:
I was lucky enough to buy one of these from AT&T without a contract a couple of days before they were pulled. So far the watch is great. Battery life is good, calls are clear, and the screen is big and bright. However, there is one major flaw: You can't pair a Bluetooth headset to the watch and use it for voice calls. I tried a few different Bluetooth headsets, and they can only be used for audio playback. The only way to send and receive voice calls is using the integrated speaker and microphone on the watch. Another minor annoyance is you must have the phone with you to connect to a new WiFi network. If you try to connect to a new WiFi network using the settings on the watch, it asks you to enter the password on the phone.

The inability to use a Bluetooth headset for calls is pretty big weakness compared to other smart watches, but probably not severe enough to pull the watches from the shelves. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the device is unlocked, and it is so easy to switch carriers without a contract. Also, AT&T was offering this device at the same cost of an LTE tablet ($10/month), but the watch has a SIM that supports both voice and data which usually costs 3-4 times as much. I tried using the watch SIM in an Android smartphone, and it seemed to work fine.

What about other models?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukesama:
F is better than H in gaming performance

and theres a custom kernel here on xda for the F if you flashed it you will be able to play GTA SA in Max graphics

Hi! I just got one of these, the G800H model, and I'm pretty excited about it! Unfortunately, I won't be able to root until I can get my laptop screen fixed, unless there might be an apk that will root it. I tried about 10 last night and had no luck. But, I didn't realize there were 2 different processor variants. I thought they were all Exynos when I got it. I just want to be absolutely sure what I have, as I've seen here they are not compatible with all the same softwares, recoveries, and kernels. I'm running 4.4.2 now, and it finds no available updates (here in the USA). It's also the 16gb version. The reason I am a little confused is, from what I've read, I believe it to be the Snapdragon version, until just now finishing Level 1 of GTA SA, which played with only slight lag on the lowest graphic setting. It was very playable, and fun though. So are absolutely all G800H models equipped with the Snapdragon? I would sure hate to screw this up before I get the chance to love it, so I ask. Thanks for the all the helpful posts in the forum, too. I've learned quite a bit already, but want to read the more relevant threads for my specific model first. Thanks!
