I have read quite a bit as hwawei being one of the top tier for smart watches, but I don't know as to why. The smart feature is out beaten by Moto and s2 and I have read even fitbit doesn't a better job of recording 'activies' than hwawei. Was the information wrong incorrect, what are your thoughts?

Hence why it never made it to my top 3.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] egren58:
Well to me smart watches still in its beta. I feel like its still a bit too early. Specs wise. I feel like its not that important at this moment as smart watches are not really mean to run alot of processes. The hwawei watch is by far best looking. Which imo its important. Also battery I heard was great... The gear S2 also caught my attention and the moto 360 lower black screen anoyyed the crap out of me..
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eventheodds1:
Agreeded, I like s2 specially with $14/month from T-Mobile. I just need something that can monitor and is compatible with lifting apps.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] egren58:
Well the gear s2 is not exclusive to Samsung phones so any watch app will work. And there is hundreds of work out apps as that is one of the big focus of smart watches so that's something you should have to worry. Also the gear s2 fits more of your need. Since the other watches are focus towards classy and luxury.. If your going to be using it for fitness I'd go with the gear s2..
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] SpencerA99:
the s2 if you have a samsung device
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Master619:
I have the Sony Smartwatch 3, and everything is okay (battery life is great) except the screen is not very vibrant like other models that use amoled. If I can re-choose I'd take the Gear s2.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bonerp:
I had the Asus Zen and it was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent on tech. Did nothing my note 4 couldn't do and found it a hindrance constantly buzzing and remembering which way to swipe things for certain functions. I can appreciate some will benefit ie I get FitBits but I think they are gimmicky. Just my personal experience. Sometimes having tech when theres no need....
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] david_b01:
Do you want a watch you can goof around with as a health logger? Or do you want a health logger that has some smart watch?

The Microsoft unit is the best at health, it has continous heart rate which the others do not. It also has the most sensors in it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eventheodds1:
looking for something to track my health, I am a lifter and I use JEFIT to track and monitor my progress. So I need a watch to track and correspond with health apps to record my performance.

This was just released by Android authority, do you guys agree or disagree? Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] colormedroid:
Definitely get an Android Wear based watch. Samsung's Tizen OS doesn't have many apps.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] remiotte:
i'm not into the health tracking thing, so i can't relate to that, but for the moto360 vs huawei watch, my 2 cents (but this is about the 1st gen moto): huawei, hands down. much better screen, much better battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eventheodds1:
Yeah, I've been reading a lot about new software for s2 where it is not as compatible with alot of apps.

Moto 360 second generation just announced their fitness watch. This might be the one :)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
The thing about android wear is the apps that are compatible are useless without a phone. With the Gear S2 4G you have real apps that don't need to have a phone connected. I've had an android wear watch for the past year and just got the Gear S2 and let me tell you from a person who actually uses the watch Tizen is way better imo. First of all the notifications on the Gear S2 are way better, for example if I get a Google+ notification on android wear you can only look at maybe the first 2 lines and then you can only open it on your phone. With the Gear S2 you can read the entire message and read the comments. And also when you receive a mms message on android wear it doesn't show you the picture on the watch, while the Gear S2 shows pictures and all. The watch faces are way better on the Gear S2, especially in ambient mode and to my surprise S voice actually works just as good as Google now. Tizen overall is a much more fun OS, I was so bored with Android wear and I knew for sure I wasn't going to get another one.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] L-Matatan:
I have the Gear S is perfect for everything , plus is standalone watch you don't need a phone with you for make and receive call , im not sure if Gears S2 have the same features
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
Yes the Gear S2 has the same features.

[MENTION=222311]Lancer[/MENTION]

Have you used your s2 with any fitness logger app? I know it is compatible*with s-health and other Samsung health app.

And how accurate is HR;gps; pedometer; running etc?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
Nope, I'm not really into to all the fitness stuff. The pedometer and hr seem to be pretty good though.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eventheodds1:
I have done a lot of research on the s2, and a lot of people weren't happy with how limited the app compatibility. However it does exactly what you have said, independent of the phone which is nice. But what I'm looking for, s2 isn't the best choice unless more apps become compatible. So I might have to rethink things. S2 is still not out of the race tho
[Amazon Fire Phone] AirworthyAce:
According to several tear downs and inspections, the Fire Phone is equipped with a Qualcomm Atheros WCN3680 and compatible FM chip/receiver. I immediately rooted and flashed CM11 to my phone and wasn't aware of any digital radio functionality in FireOS. Has anyone successfully enabled or accessed FM radio on CM11? I attempted to install Spirit2 for rooted devices and was unable to acquire a signal or steady audio.

Thank you for any future suggestions.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
I know that the quality of the photos taken on AOSP cannot possibly be as good as the ones on Touchwiz based ROMs unless the camera application is ever successfully ported over somehow.

Personally, I really hate Touchwiz and I like this phone because of this big beautiful screen.

However, amongst the camera applications available for us AOSP users, which one do you think takes the best quality images? It can be either paid or free.

I am currently using Dirty Unicorns, which has been a pretty awesome custom ROM for me.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legoman666:
No luck getting it to work while running down the list of apps on the google play store. Does any one have any ideas or suggestions?

The why is irrelevant, suffice to say, I want to host a wifi hotspot with the device so it can host a webcam app.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
A hotspot to connect to what?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legoman666:
You didn't read my post, did you?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
Yes I did. Your post doesn't say what the hotspot would allow clients to connect to. For example, the most common use of an Android device as a "hotspot" is as a wifi hotspot to allow clients (such as a laptop or a wifi-only tablet such as the Fire) to use a phone's LTE connection. But this particular scenario is impossible with the Fire as a "hotspot" because the Fire has no cell radio. So it is not at all clear from your post what your intended Fire "hotspot" would enable clients to connect to.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylemaguire:
oh they did. but your post doesn't make sense.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legoman666:
You did?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
What do you mean when you say "host a webcam app"? And why does that require a wifi hotspot? And why would it require the "host" device to be a hotspot?

Your post is incomprehensible.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legoman666:
Jesus. I have a wireless ip camera that I want to use the tablet as a host for. It's really that simple. The tablet needs to host a wifi hotspot. I don't give a crap that it won't have an internet connection.

Hence the original question, is there any way to make my tablet into a wifi hotspot?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
In that case, you have been asking the wrong question. What you are describing is not a hotspot, it is an ad-hoc wifi network, which you can set up by going into the Android WiFi settings menu, selecting "Add Network," and checking the "Advanced options" box. By definition, a "hotspot" is a wireless access point that allows clients to access the internet. That's the "hot" in "hotspot." That's probably also the reason you didn't have success with any of the apps you tried; they weren't intended to do what you were trying to do.

By the way, when you are asking other people to help you, it's generally a good idea not to act like a complete jackass, especially when you don't know what you're talking about.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserbiz:

If this doesn't work then well you need to update the driver for your phone which your computer is using. Go to device mangaer on your pc and click on your phone name and update all drivers(left click to see options).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxnician:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P113

I rooted it with Philz Touch 6.6.26.1 and Clockworkmod v 6.0.4.7

I have Android 4.2.2 Build shakatu_JDQ39.P5113UEUCMH2_rooted

All was working fine until one day I noticed the tablet would keep rebooting on it's own even in safe mode. I booted into Philz Touch with no restarting.

I did some research and apparently there was an update from Samsung that may have caused this issue.

I tried to reflash but it wouldn't take as it would do exactly as before (rebooting). Once booted up I can use the tablet for about 43 seconds before the screen goes black and reboots. I tried to do a proper shutdown to see if it would correct any issues but no luck.

I also tried moving an app on the screen to a different location then do a proper shutdown. When I booted back up the app was in it's original place. It's as if the system is in read only mode?

I tried doing a system format etc and Philztouch said it was formatted but upon reboot it was unchanged.

I have nothing I need to save on the tablet so I can do a full erase if needed but I haven't been successful in doing that. I've used Odin to load a flash image with no luck either.

If anyone has some helpful suggestions I would appreciate it.

There are a number of buggy Windows Live installs about, so make sure you have a recent version installed. I have version 10.6.0026.1400 and thats fine (I had an earlier version on a previous rom that had the same issue you have).

Try unzipping the .cab file from the attached zip file, copy it to your phone, and run it on your device. This should update your Windows Live messenger to a working version.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] demo2000:
Goto the Windows Live icon (from Programs on your start menu) and when you get in, goto the menu and select about. It should show the version you are now running.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] demo2000:
I dont think you can with Windows Live messenger. If you want messenger without syncing contacts, have a search on here for the older MSN Messenger install. I saw someone post this a few days back, but cant remember the thread I saw it in.

Praise to you for saving me !

And if I may, I'd like to state my experience, which brings a few interesting facts into light:

1/ I was unable to open my tar.gz archives with 7-zip v9.20. It kept displaying an error message. Only the v15.14 version could handle them flawlessly.

2/ as a textra user, I discovered that it stores a duplicate sms database, which IS NOT compatible with yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor (which screams a message about a "missing sms table" or something) (praise to the author as well)

BUT, the system sms database can be found here, and is fully handled by the extractor tool:

data\data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases\mmssms.db

Now my sms are back and I can resume my thread about the best knitting techniques.

Thanks for this. I wanted to comment to help others using Microsoft Office 2016 & now that Firefox Quantum has made old extensions incompatible. Call logs & SMS are easily imported by Nandroid Manager app (god bless the dev). This a short summary of steps to restore contacts, presuming you have the contacts2.db file extracted:

- Install Firefox 39 from here. Might work with FF 57, but did not want to take chances.

- Download the Excel Macro [which will help us later correctly arrange our data via pre-set changes, aka macros, on the Excel spreadsheet][see link above]

- Install & enable the SQLite extension in Firefox (already linked above by OP)

- Follow OP's steps until you obtain the .csv file

- Open the macro file you had downloaded earlier & click enable the content

- In Excel 2016, you need to add Developer Tab to your top menu: Go to File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Check mark Developer option on the right side column. Click OK.

- Now we need to run the macros: Click on Developer Tab at the top -> Macros -> Run the first macro: convertDatatoContacts

- Select the .csv file & proceed

- Now run the second macro: writeContactstovCard

- Vcard (.vcf) is saved to same folder as your original macro file.

In Nougat, Contacts app can open and import .vcf file or you can use third-party app.

[Sony Cross-Device General] wuith:
Thank you very much! With your guide I could recover my SMS from a phone with a bootloop (TWRP bootable) but I did a different process:

1. TWRP Backup

2. Transfer it to PC

3. Rename the data.ext4.win to data.ext4.tar.gz . If Your files are like data.ext4.win000, data.ext4.win001, then rename each of them to data.ext4.tar.gz in separate folders.

4. Open each file in BandiZip program and search for mmssms.db

In my case it was in: data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

5. Copy this file to the same folder in spare phone / same phone after factory reset.

6. SMS appear now!

So I had a bit of a scare the other day when my phone refused to read my SD card, all fixed now but it got me wondering what would have happened had my SD card actually died. So after a few days of searching the net for an app that would wirelessly or using the data cable sync my phones data to my PC, I couldn't find one that did what I wanted it to so here I am. The phone in question is the MOTO X STYLE on a stock ROM. Does said app or one like it exist?

I'd appreciate the help :)

I want to be able to watch the videos and view the pics located on my phone on my PC and I hardly ever download music to my PC (I download them via my phone, to my phone) so backing up my devices music to my PC would be nice.
