Hello,

I am looking to buy a Smartwatch. I saw very good reviews of the Moto 360 1st gen (good price too) but I have small wrists so it would look huge on me. I recently stumbled upon Finow X5 and No. 1 D5 (and G4) but since they are not as popular I couldn't find as much information... Now I just found another one - K9 3G. That's why I am seeking your help. Which one should I go for? It saw that No. 1 tends to look weird on the hand, so for me now is mostly down to X5 vs K9. I don't know if the X1 / X3 models of Finow are worth over X5.

I am open to any smartwatch suggestions in the budget of £100-150, which means I also consider the Moto 360 2nd gen (42mm), but there are so many options in this market, I am just confused.

Also, I will plan to use the Smartwatch with no SIM inside (who uses a sim with that anyway? I need it in my phone), I live in the UK and I got an Android phone with 5.1. Will i be able to get full functionality out of the above models?

If you can drop your 2 cents here, I would greatly appreciate.
[Other SmartWatches] snake65:
If you can afford it moto 360 2nd gen especially if it's for watch faces as they are much easier to install over the full Android watches. Android wear is a bit like Apple it just works well and more apps come out daily.
[Other SmartWatches] parkoper:
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for being such a noob, Finow devices don't use android wear? So if they use stock android, there might be some advantages in that too I guess.

You would say Moto 2nd gen 42mm over Finow X5 for functionality? Cause regarding design, Moto has that little black strip unfortunately, a bit of turn off)
[Other SmartWatches] snake65:
I had the Moto 360 1st gen and loved it but wanted something more powerful. Don't get me wrong from what I've seen here the finow is exceptional value for money , I have an i2 but stuck at bootloader and waiting on the arrival of the kw88, but you need to look around and read for yourself.
[Other SmartWatches] ElGrecko:
The 2nd gen Moto 360 has appalling battery life apparently, which is a thing to be wary of. I'd love for the Chinese manufacturers to up their game when it comes to companion watches, I understand the advantages of a standalone, but I think they've underestimated what a large market segment they could tap into by pressuring the mainstream brands (I also understand this is down to Google licensing of android wear, but what happened to AWC? Shows there are workarounds?).

That said, watches like the X5 etc. Show massive potential, the Ticwatch 2 looks very interesting as well.

PS. Just to add that Motorola's customer service and repair centres are woeful also if you're in the UK

Take a look here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712

We have done a lot of work with these devices and when it comes to custom watch faces the X5, X3 (which is the same as K9) and X1 (same as D5) is a fantastic watch.

It is really a stand alone watch at the moment though. It takes a sim card and works exactly like a mobile phone.
[Other SmartWatches] parkoper:
Wow, just awesome!! Finow X5 looks like a great great device. I see you know what you are talking about, so maybe you can help me out a little.

My main concern is that I won't be able to get the most out of my Finow if I don't use it with its own SIM - and really, who would ditch the phone over a smart watch? I can only think how much you lose: web browsing with ease on bigger screen, private phone calls (you keep it to your ear, not on speaker), writing messages a lot easier, photos/videos on decent screen etc.

Will I be able to do the following with the X5?

- get notifications from the phone on the watch (SMS, Emails, Whatsapp, Facebook)

- disable notifications / reply to messages received on phone with the X5

- accept calls from the watch (again, no SIM inside, call received on the phone)

Also, is the Moto360 (2nd gen, 42mm) more limited compared to the Finow X5 from other points of views? Will I be able to load any watchface on the Moto 360, as I see we are able to do with the X5? Will I be better off using a SIM in my phone and one in my X5? Does the X5 communicate with my smartphone whatsoever - do they share any notifications?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
To be honest - looking at your list of requirements - I would suggest Android Wear.

All you really want is a companion watch - these X5 etc etc are stand alone.

Not good for pairing with phones - although some people do manage to work through it with app like M2D and similar
[Other SmartWatches] parkoper:
Well I will definitely take the X5 over Android Wear if I could get paring to work too. The no flat tire display just looks better. Can you please tell me which are, in your opinion, the 1-2 major functionalities of X5 over Android Wear (Moto 360) and one major downside?

And hold on a minute, I got an idea. What if I put my SIM in the X5 and use this M2D app on the phone to get notification from the watch on the phone. :) Will that improve the communication between the devices? I mainly use my phone for browsing on a big screen (over WiFi, no SIM use), taking pictures (no SIM use) and making calls (SIM use). So how do you cope with phone calls on the speaker of the X5? Aren't you concerned about other people hearing the person you are speaking to / the quality of the X5 microphone?

Honestly, I incline more for the X5 at this point, but I still want to clarify the above points before making a decision. Thank you so much Pablo!
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
As far as a companion, Wear is a much better choice. Of Wear, skip the 360 and get the original LG (square). You can find the LG for as little as $50 these days. And even though the LG might not look cool to you, it has the same CPU, RAM, storage and features the Asus, LG R and many others.

In a X5 vs Wear;

Readability of the font- Wear (the UI is designed for smartwatches)

Notification interaction- Wear (X5 requires third party apps for notification interactions)

Notification logs- X5

Wearable Apps- Wear (while limited in features, all apps for Wear are designed for smaller screens)

Voice Commands- Wear

Navigation- tie

Remote music and camera control- Wear

Phonecalls on watch from phone- neither work

Phonecalls on watch (no phone)- X5 *requires a SIM in the watch* (but about 2 hours is the best you will get)

Custom watchfaces- Wear has something like 100,000, X5 couple hundred

Watchface features- Wear, by a long shot if you use WatchMaker

Battery life- As a companion using BT, same

The best way to look at this is Wear is designed to be a companion out of the box. The X5 (D5, K9, etc) are tiny little phones for your wrist with tiny little batteries, and not really designed to be a full companion device.
[Other SmartWatches] parkoper:
Alright, I just bought a second hand LG Urbane W150 in good condition for $130. I hope I made the right choice, looking for your opinion. I didn't go for the square LG cause I don't like the design... and the Moto 360 has that flat tire on the bottom that I don't like.

Another rom that I ported for Piranha Zen. You can use it with a117 also.

First install the rom : https://yadi.sk/d/R0YTKGbnsWfjq

Then install fix for a117: http://durusu.net/android/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/A117Lite-KatBatteryFix.zip

After reboot, go to “Durusu” program and give screen lock permission to program.

Camera is Not Focusing :( :(

the stock camera app shows 8mp and its not at all focusing images attached

i also tried snap camera it gave resolution up to 16mp 4:3 but still it was not able to focus

also retrica app was not focusing ...!!

i tried clearing app data and still dint worked ...!!
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] navtab:
What abt battery back up? specially sleep time back up.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] karpawar:
ill check till tomorrow and update
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] md6:
I tried the camera. I have no focus problem in Piranha Zen. Some camera apps need to tap to focus (like snap camera). But rom's stock camera has default auto focus. May be the difference between our cpu's causing this. We can try something for you, but i need your help. Can you please download this rar file and extract the file inside it to your sd card. Then by using "Root Explorer" copy and replace this "libcameraservice.so" file to the "Root/system/lib" directory. Reboot the phone, does it make any difference?
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] RSM10:
Battery drain bug is still not fixed, tried the ROM for 5 days but battery dropped when using internet or games very fast.

Also there's a bug on opening accessibility service setting stopped working. The ROM works good for 3-4 days and then afterwards it became like a tortoise very slow. Back on stock ROM, original lollicraft is a good ROM but its not ported for official A117, it's ported for Piranha Zen copy of A117 which is not for our device. Also gallery force closes many a times when you try to open and scroll an album comprising large number of photos.

Overall good ROM if you want it to use for 5 days and never more than that.

For a good battery life, best daily usage, good performance, better stay on official Micromax A117 official stock ROM or if you flashed it you have to come back to the stock ROM.

Be careful while flashing this ROM.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] md6:
Battery drain problem for kitkat occurs while the screen is off, my script and program solve this problem. Your problem occurs when playing games, i don't play games so i didn't have data about game's battery consumption. Can you give detailed information, for example how much power consumption for the same game in jellybean and kitkat?

FC of gallery occurs in Piranha Zen also, it is the rom's original gallery and i didn't remove it as i don't want to disrespect rom's maker. You can easily use another gallery.

The slowing of rom after 5 days is interesting, did other users face with this problem?
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] RSM10:
Listen brother I appreciate that you respond for my comment.

Whenever I play clash of kings and clash Royale in the stock ROM, for 1 hour of usage my battery drops 10-15% but in lollicraft it dropped 50%.

The thing that I should install another gallery is a very bad idea.

Installing 2 galleries in my android seems very bad, I tried it but it is not like the stock, third party galleries always slows the device.

And the last thing that it slowed after five days.

Yes. I am a heavy mobile user. It slowed down my device after five days. It will slow every heavy user's device after a couple of days.

That's my opinion. Stay Safe Don't use this ROM as its not officially made for Micromax Canvas Magnus.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] md6:
I think you installed the stock jeallybean, can you check something for me? In "CPU-Z" program, what is the values of CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2 and CPU 3 when in heavy use?

About gallery, I want to say deleting the current gallery with root explorer and copying another one that you like, but I think it will be easier for everyone if I create an install zip for this operation.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] RSM10:
I have lost the trust in this ROM now.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] md6:
lost trust NOW??? Didn't you already uninstall the rom? Sorry but I really do not understand you.

I am working on Xperia Z3 rom for our phone, and it will take time to install stock jeallybean and read the values that i asked you. So I asked a favor from you. But i think you don't want to help. It is OK. Have a nice day.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] RSM10:
yes i have installed this rom and now i am back on stock android 4.2.1.

Help anyone,

I have this real "handy" stylus with a pen inside.

Only problem with it is that you dis assemble it (upper and lower piece and a pen) Sometimes it occurs that the lower part from the stylus disassembles itself in the stylus shaft, normally it falls out.

And there is the problem, it is stuck in the shaft I can not get it out.

Is it possible to disassemble my hima to reach it, or has anyone a better solution??:mad:

get a lollypop stick with some bluetack on the bottom of it and try getting it out like that, dont put much blutak on though or your lolly pop stick will be in there too. Thats how i retrieved the stylus end when it happened to me,saved having to disassemble it, even though taking it apart is not that big a job ,unless you dont have a torc screwdriver :D
[General Questions and Answers] AZConfusion:
Simple right? I have a factory Verizon Samsung galaxy S5 now I have T-Mobile service, can't I just wipe the Verizon software and replace it with the T-mobile software? ..... but I just don't know how and of course T-mobile isn't going to help me they want me to buy a phone, but the super nice lady tech was smitten that another lady was talking "geek" to her so she sent me to the experts. YOU!! Point me in the right direction or something I can figure out the rest. I don't worry about make-up before I leave me house I spend time on making sure my brain can carry me through, so help me work out my greatest asset by handing over some more knowledge.

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Verizon S5's bootloader is locked. If you don't know what that means, it means non-official software/firmware/OS/etc cannot be flashed to the device. Even if the bootloader wasn't locked, the phones (afaik) are physically different (modems/radios/etc) to work on different network technologies.

I know some Verizon phones will work on T-Mobile's (and AT&T's network) simply by popping in the proper SIM. From a quick google search, it seems that the Galaxy S5 is one of them. You just have to change the APN settings or you won't get texts. Follow the directions here (they're for the Note 3, but it's the same process). If there's an update from Verizon, you might have to pop in a Verizon SIM card (and download it off of wi-fi obviously). The SIM doesn't need to be active (use your old one), the phone just has to recognize a Verizon SIM. LTE will work (with the proper APN) because Verizon and T-Mobile both use band 4.

Apart from the T-Mobile account app, there's really nothing about the T-Mobile version that you'd really care about. Different company, different useless bloatware. And as long as there's a T-Mobile SIM, you can still download the account app. If you just don't want anything "Verizon" about it, just google up a guide on what bloatware to disable and how to do it.

FYI, if you're in/around Tucson or Phoenix, supposedly this year we're finally going to get band 12. It's a 700MHz band (like Verizon's band 13), which, being a lower frequency travels further and penetrates buildings better. The Galaxy S5 does not support band 12 - it's not new enough. So if you're boiling your butt off in saguaro country like me, it might behoove you to get a newer phone. The reason we're waiting on band 12 is that there's a UHF TV station in Phoenix that conflicts with that frequency (and the broadcast radius clips the northern Tucson suburbs), but I guess the TV station is going to switch (probably with financial motivation from T-Mo).

If you're not in Tucson or Phoenix (I can't speak for Flagstaff), but in a more rural area, or just where there's poor LTE coverage, it still might behoove you to get a different phone rather than use your Verizon one. The problem is that it doesn't support T-Mobiles better/faster GSM bands, so you would get slower data speeds if not on LTE, even in an area with good HSPA+ or EDGE coverage.

Of course, the other option is simply to buy a T-Mobile phone (like a used S5 off of Swappa) then sell the Verizon one. Or find someone to trade with. An AT&T one would work as well as long as it's carrier unlocked (but not Sprint).

I don't have a car.;)

Hello,

As I'm going to replace S6 SM-G920FD to S7 also dual sim I wanted to sell my phone. The person that was going to buy phone was trying to use *#06# to get IMEI number but code didn't worked.

As I was not on stock soft I went back to stock and tried again but still no result. I was trying many codes and none of them worked. For a person that is trying to buy phone when he/she see that he/she may think that phone was stolen or something has been done to it and that is not true. When Im going to settings and about phone IMEI is visible also when I use phoneinfo app.
