[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaithe:
While KingoRoot was a failure, KingRoot seems to temporarily acquire root after much work, only to lose it on next reboot. Unfortunately, but has allowed me to at least remove some bloatware on this 3.5GB internal storage device. Wew.

While signing up for Cricket and finding out my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G from 2007 wouldn't work on their network, made a snap buy of the Kyocera. None of the 3 people spoken to while signing up with Cricket mentioned an online promotion for portaling an existing number in which I could have gotten a better phone for free or a good discount on a much, much better phone. Found out next day and wanted to take advantage of the promotion but everyone says, 'portal already happened, you missed out, we own your ****, too late.'

So far I am not impressed with their customer service. My bad for snap buy of the Kyocera deserves no praise, however.

Thanks for the information, well lets get started

hi friends, m new here, i got so much information from u guys, thnx for that.

I have flashed xperia e2115 custom rom on my micromax a310, otg is not working, can anyone help???
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veteNL:
Hey guys i have question. I am currently on 24.11.18.lux.reteu.reteu.en.En reteu. I flashed this with a link that was posted on here before the update for 6.0 came to my country. The update that came OTA was 24.41.33 (with the januari patch). I never received this and am wondering if i will still get updates in the future or if I have to keep doing this myself. I am not rooted or anything. I just updated with the link that was posted here. http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/help/marshmallow-ota-uk-t3277756/post64971862#post64971862

So basically:

I flashed from 5.1.1 to 6.0 myself with link posted here through recovery mode.

I now have 24.11.18. (december patch)

Others in my country that just waited have 24.41.33. (januari patch)

What do I do now in order to get updates? Wait and it will come? Or do i have to keep updating myself?

Hope everything is clear. :good: Thanks in advance.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
The best to do is flash the 5.1.1 factory image for your model and location. And then updating through the normal way. Not manually
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veteNL:
Thanks. I'm not sure how to go about doing that. So updates wont come to my phone anymore OTA? I've read on here that the 6.0.1 update should arrive soon. I'm new to all this and don't want to risk breaking my phone. Maybe it's better to wait? I'm from the Netherlands too btw.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
You should have the january security patch, if you dont and dont have an update you need to flash the factory image. If you don't want to brick your phone you shouldnt flash updates manually in the first place.

You can also try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759884307 which is the flashable zip for the dutch 6.0 firmware (but you need twrp and unlocked bootloader for that.

But you probably need to download and flash this: https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGTQx60cH6emtbDNwtOZh-3m7Mdww

And follow this: http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750

(doesn't need an unlocked bootoader
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veteNL:
Thanks. I think I'll just wait until 6.0.1 arrives here in NL and see if it let's me update too before i try and do all this.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] q4q9x:
I encountered a bug running cm-11-20151117-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron and wanted to report it. So, I opened the LegacyXperia center and tapped, "Collect all logs." It appeared to succeed, and told me I should look for a zip file in a folder called LX on my SD card. However, no such folder is visible on my SD card. Is there some known reason this could happen?

(The bug I encountered is that the phone freezes with 180° rotation enabled and actually rotating the phone to that position. I could not find this as an existing GitHub issue.)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] q4q9x:
Never mind, the LX folder is there, it just wasn't visible in Windows.

Did you trying to pair with iPhone?
[Samsung Gear S2] Soryuu:
Don't have an iPhone to pair it with, so I can't test this right now unfortunately.

Couple of screens showing new features!

The Digital watch face now allows custom photos as backgrounds straight from the watch (previously this was only possible on the phone). Clicking on the cog takes you to the gallery:

Flight mode toggle is in the dropdown shade now:

And it's in settings, alongside with an Alerts option (not sure if it was there before):

Finally, new firmware code:

Adaptive brightness is there, but there's no option to turn it off so no screens. It kicks in automatically, and is irrespective of the brightness setting. For example, setting the watch on 6 brightness inside will be dimmer than a 6 brightness outside.

pair it to an Android phone of somebody you know - then perform the update through Gear Manager - then pair it with the iphone again (if it then still works...)
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
I'm pretty sure that Samsung will say this already clearly and loudly. As this is not the case here, I assume that there is still no iPhone compatibility. But March is not over yet ...

Just received the Update in Germany.

After installing the Update, my Watch is in "standalone" and don't connect to my S6 edge.

The worst part, the battery dropped in 1 Hour from 50% to 15%

--edit--

after factory resetting the watch... whole day 11% Battery drain :)
[Samsung Gear S2] gschot:
Noticed it is available in The Netherlands as well. Will update in a minute.

--edit--

Yup... So far the same problem here as well. Gear is not connecting to my Note 3 and shows 'Standalone'. Restarted the watch once, and the Gear app then showed connected and I am able to change faceplates etc., though the watch itself still shows 'Standalone'. I then restarted my phone, and then my watch shows 'Connected via Bluetooth', whereas Gear Manager app shows disconnected. After a few moments, the phone also shows 'Connected' though.. It was probably still starting up some processes.

I am however not able to open the Brightness option anymore, either by pulling down from the top, or by going to the Settings and Display menu...

--edit2--

I had to factory default the watch to have it go back to normal after the update. Restoring the backup worked though. Now it is finally reconnecting and seems to operate normally again...

Hopefully the auto brightness saves not kills more battery, does flick to you max setting at screen on them dims down bit annoying. News i do not use and gallery background are pointless in most cases as they are blocked by the text which cannot be moved as in with 3rd party app on the old Gear 2.
[Samsung Gear S2] gschot:
Well.. I am NOT happy with this update. I finally have the Gear and Note 3 connected and working, however heart rates and steps are no longer synced with S Health. I downgraded to the previous (4.6) version of S Health but that made no difference. Restored watch to factory defaults, reinstalled some apps (did not restore the backup, just in case that was corrupted), but it did not help. In S Health I have the Gear selected as source, the step counter screen shows it syncs with the S2, the S2 shows steps, but the total in S Health remains 0. Also heartrate data is not synced.

Anyone else with this problem??

Is there a way to force the gear s2 to get this update? I'm still on an older base at the moment and I'd like to get R732XXU2CPB7. Anyone knows a trick how to do this?
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
LOL
[Samsung Gear S2] Soryuu:
To explain:

Before the update you had two 'levels' of brightness: standard brightness and outdoor mode. Outdoor mode kicks in when you're outside (ofc), and overrides standard brightness. Standard brightness applies whenever you're indoors (or perhaps an overcast/rainy day), but there is no way for it to automatically change (eg if you set brightness to 7, then go into a dark room the watch will still be just as bright)

The auto-brightness, in this situation, will lower the overall brightness as soon as you move into the dark room, while leaving the setting as 7 (which can still be adjusted). If you then move into a bright room the watch will become brighter.

Auto-brightness doesn't apply to Outdoor mode though; as soon as you move back into sunlight, Outdoor mode will kick in as usual.

Is this while staying in the same lighting conditions?

[Samsung Gear S2] intelrhino:
Running App is very buggy

Hey everyone,

Does anyone find that this watch seems to be little more than a toy when used as a fitness tracker and heart rate monitor?

Seriously, instead of the Nike plus running app getting better over time it's become more and more bug infested.

It doesn't stay open during a workout even though I've tried using different watch faces in case that was the problem. It simply stops during a song sometimes and you have to restart the app and fiddle around with the watch to get the music to play again and the app is generally bare-bones basic so far as running apps go. (Please don't tell me to do a factory reset. I've tried that many times, believe me).

You know how the small red writing flows from one measurement to the other? I need to have the app to function so that you can, say for example, long press on a measurement and it stops changing from one measurement to another and stays there until I long press on the red writing again to start the "flow" again. Better still, it would be great if there was a simple setting for the big white numerals.

At the moment the Running app focuses on how far I run when it should be adjustable so that the big white writing is my heart rate.

It's times like this that I wish I could program this watch myself but I've heard that Tizen is a terrible environment to work on. I'm starting to regret buying this watch. Anyone else feel the same?

Firmware version: R732XXU2CPC5
