[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheOne741:
Had that problem with my Note 4 bro. It was a broken EMMC memory chip and Samsung should repair it by swaping the motherbord under warranty. If you Rooted it or tripped knox, like i did, than you have a problem coz they will ask you to pay for the repairs. If that happenes remind them this.. I wish i knew this before i sold my note 4 for scrap.

Time for small update,

thanks for links TheOne741. Cellular operator had sent my phone to authorised service, but they offered somethink like 70USD (different currencies) for repair, when new mainboard for S7 Edge is around 400$! I declined their proposal and now my phone is in other service, I want them to replace it by new one, still waiting! Hope for quick response from this second service point.

I had a Galaxy i5700 a lot time ago and I managed to install android into de SD and the simptoms u are describing are the same that happened to me when the SD had bad sectors before completely dying...

I tried removing sd card and sim card too, nothing changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BCSC:
Samsung ditched eMMC and went to UFS. while it may be a memory issue, its not eMMC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ProtoDeVNan0:
Don't pay anything for Your phone. I've had one really sh***y service that told me the sim card slot is broken (on a device that I didn't even know that it has a sim card slot/tablet) and now I have to pay 100% same amount of money as the value of my whole tablet. That device wasn't even rooted. Nothing. I even had a sh***y insurance that didn't help me either. So I was left there with a choice of paying (device was around 100 usd) 100 usd(for a sim card slot repair that I don't even have idea if it exists, I've had phones with broken sim card slots and they were working fine) or just buy a new one. So I decided to call a "shopping lawyer"(I just payed for the call) I've no idea how to properly say that in english, sorry guys. And then the lawyer told me that I need to say that if they will not fix it on warranty then I'll go to court. Week later I got a letter that my device will be repaired as soon as they can do it, and that they are really sorry. After 14 days I got my tablet back, fully working.. well. They scratched the screen a lot so I just sold it later. Kinda sad with the scratches cause it was a really great GPS. 7 inches.. big screen.

So in conclusion.

Don't pay anything. Just use the warranty. Even if the device was rooted You have a full right to a warranty repair. And since You didn't root Your device then You're fine. It's a hardware defect and they have to pay for it and fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Serpine:
Yup, I did not send my phone on warranty but on suretyship because my phone was only around month old! And it is obviously hardware problem, but first service tried to scam me. I have been reading tons of articles about scratching screens, breaking plastic frames, resending "repaired" laptops without few parts or even charger from very first service that my phone was sent to. And for that I took my phone away from them in a blink of an eye. Now I'm just waiting for expertise or replacement from other service.

I'm having a similar issue... hope somebody has an answer :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Serpine:
Quick update after 40 days without phone. Motherboard is replaced. Not a whole device....

Now I want a IP68 standard confirmation. Authorised service doesn't want to give me any kind of document that confirms dust and waterproof (it should mean that my phone is assembled correctly!)

I won't sign any document that I received my phone without this.

What should I do? Where I can get any document about IP68 confirmation? Should I send my phone to another service just to confirm IP68 standard?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AndrOmega:
Once ur phone has been opened the ip68 cannot be restored unless Samsung is doing the seal.

[Android Head-Units] Catalin.I:
Hello everyone,

I have a Ford Focus MK1 ( 2001 ), and was wondering about buying a head unit to replace the original one. However, I'm uncertain and to be honest, a little 'scared' that it wont work as expected, and i wanted to ask your opinion about what i should go for.

What I'm interested in is something of 6,2'' size, and to have 2 main features: - good to very good sound output and the option to install 'Waze' ( and use it via wi-fi ).

What i found so far, is a Eonon G2150F (sorry, can't post links), but unfortunately i haven't found any reviews about it regarding the features im interested in.

If anyone can give me a hand here, i would appreciate it.

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] CadillacMike:
my Joying is for a Jeep, but it sounds great and Waze works fine, although I prefer Google Maps

So, I bought this watch 6 days ago. My first smartwatch. Now, its looks nice and is fast and smooth and all! But I am pretty shocked to see that, there are so few apps which are compatible with this device! Howcome an android device not be compatible with android watch apps? I mean what the fish? Even official android wear app doesnt connect with the watch. I mean wtf? Ah and theres no pull down notification drawer at all! I am not getting it!

But honestly the watch looks cool. kinda like moto 360. which is why I picked it!
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
That's because it's not an Android Wear Watch but a Android Watch.... It means that it's a phone in your wrist...

[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
Well I dont mind the app not connecting. Finow has its own pairing app. But if its an Android phone then how come so few app are compatible?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Actually almost all apps are compatible... Don't you have Google Play Store installed? Anyway, you can download whatever app from Google looking for "app name"+"apk" ... That is the file that install any app

[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
ya. I know mate. Most app I install are not even shown in app drawer. When I try to open them it says app not found. Means its installed but not compatible. Only the apps I found compatible are below. Amongst them even the calculator doesnt work.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I have quite a lot apps that says Not Compatible in Google Play and after installing them via APK I can use them

[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
Playstore doesnt say incompatible. I just simply cant open the apps.

You using X3 Plus? May I take your assistance further? may be add you on hangout or somewhere?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I'm using the "Lite" One... The K9... Anyway tell me what do you need... Try to look for those apps you cannot open in Google and download previous versions. That happened to me with a keyboard app and I managed to make it work.

Enviado desde mi PRO 6 mediante Tapatalk
[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
For now, please tell me how I search for an app in playstore?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
No, yo dont have to do it in playstore... You have to do it in Google... You have to look for "whatsapp APK" and have to download an APK file then install it...

For old version do the same and try in "Apkmirror" a website of apks... It usually has a history of version of every apk

Any of you know how to disable link loss sound of the watch helper? It's very annoying. Or maybe there a different, compatible app?
[Other SmartWatches] matt126:
I know exactly what you mean. It keeps going of when I have my phone right with me. Went off really loud in a meeting the other day and I couldn't switch the damn thing off. Bit embarrassing!! If you find out I would be very interested to know as it puts me off wearing my Finow Q1.
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
Ok. I manage to edit watch helper apps form the phone and watch. I've installed phones apk aaaanndd... No more link loss sound on my phone. I've transferred watch apk but I can't install it cause of circular screen o_0 It asks me if I want to update system apk but I don't see the button. Any solution for this?
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
Is there any way to root this watch? Kingroot is not working here.
[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
Its just a click to turn off the alert. On phone u press ok. It stops. On watch you press the down button it shuts off. It never lost connection when my phones around but when im out of range it did. And its a safety for not loosing my phone.

By the way, im getting around with the watch better. My batt is decent now. Turned off gps and wifi. And it boosted up 25% batt.

But I have a question. I cud receive calls on phone when paired with my phone before. Now I cant. Any idea how?
[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
U need to port twrp and then flash root into system. And upto now no one ported any recovery. So..

[Other SmartWatches] ziaulh.ch:
Well it says minor update. It doesn't say anything more. What benefit you have got by rooting? Please share.

I just upgraded and don't know if there's much did between before and after. But will see.

And for all X3+ users, this battery life indeed made me happy.
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
Benefits of rooting... It's rooted! Dah [emoji14] but seriously, I'm using kernel audiutor for watches to underclock. It's not getting so hot anymore. I've hibernate or froze some unnecessary apps for me. Now it sleeps like a baby. Got rebooter for faster airplane mode, reboot or reboot to twrp. I could replace watch helper app with this annoying link loss sound with the one I modded. Here is my current setup.

This is nova launcher prime. Got swipe up for app drawer and swipe down for screen off gestures. Here are mine watch helper apps for phone and watch. Replace it and give permissions and reboot watch. I've replaced link loss sound in them. Actually right now I'm not using them. For calls I have call forwarding widget on my phone. It works great and for messages I've got one too. For notifications I use floatify.

X3+ for running

Hi all,

I'm want to buy x3+ for running. But I need som answer first. Could you help me?

Is there any running app to install? Does it work well?

Gps precision is ok?

Heart rate sensor work good? Even running? Is it possible to keep it on for a long time?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] SanderVisions:
I also wanna know this, Im about to buy this model for running and day working.
[Other SmartWatches] miroul:
For those wondering about the X3 plus...

Here's my take on it:

-Had the watch for 3 weeks

-Band is already starting to crack on one side

-I had to test out the 3g connection a couple of times and did, unscrew and screw back the back plate to install or remove the SIM. I was alternating between my phone and the watch a lot because of very bad battery life initially. Now, i have 3 screw holes that are too slack and can't screw the back tightly. The inside body of that watch is made of plastic, and so are the screw holes... BEWARE!!!

-In order to obtain somewhat acceptable battery life when running on 3g only (without wifi on), i had to root the watch and install CPU Wakelock. I then noticed that Google Play services was sucking my battery dry in no time. I had to factory reset twice before i actually got this under control.

-I am running Juicesaver all the time avoiding to auto-sync my apps this way (Juicesaver controls the auto-sync process and limits the time those apps will sync in the background)

-I also had to recalibrate the battery using Battery Calibrator Pro

-GPS precision is pretty good, on par with my LG Urbane LTE but not as good as my Garmin Fenix 3.

-I used Endomondo on the watch. It worked great but i could not see all the running metrics while i was running. Getting the Sound feedback every KM was cool though :)

-And finally, i never get the battery to run out completely of energy, i try charge the watch before (when it reaches 2-3 % remaining).

All those tips got me to a more normal battery life of around 15-16 hours max (3g on all the time). In general, i will average around 12 hours though (with email syncing, a few calls, sms and hang out running in the background). If i use my watch for running (with Endomondo), then my battery life will be shorter

Now, this is my first Chinese watch and i paid 159$ can for it. Am i satisfied? Not really.. But, i was not expecting much here so it's not that bad..

Here's my appreciation:

-Built quality: 3/5

-Battery life: 2/5 (3/5 with all the steps taken to get it to last longer)

-OS: 3/5 (i installed Nova Launcher eventually and i prefer it that way)

Hope this helps anyone here to decide on making this purchase (or not...)

[Other SmartWatches] SanderVisions:
Can you tell me if I can run an running app like Endomondo or Runtastic with Spotify in the background?

For example I put Spotify to play some music while I pair a BT earphones, and them I start an running activity with Endomondo or Runtastic?

Does it work? Multitasking like this.

Anybody wit X3 plus trom GearBest, can you confirm the Finow x3 plus 3g has wifi? The specs are NOT clear and GearBest support answered there is no wifi available on this watch.

Thanks in advance,

[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
Finow x3 plus has WiFi. But mine is not from gearbest. I don't think it's any difference.
[Other SmartWatches] bokkiwokki:

Could there be a difference between GearBest X3 plus G3 and AliExpress X3 plus K9?
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
I don't think so. But I can be wrong. Mine is from AliExpress.
[Other SmartWatches] bokkiwokki:
I'm a little bit disappointed. Gearbest reconfirmed this version of the X3 Plus 3G does not have wifi.

I have withdrawn my order there.

It seems the AliExpress version of the X3 Plus K9 does have wifi. But I think I will look further for a real Android Wear watch.

Thanks for your help here.
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
This is not Android wear watch. It's Android watch.
[Other SmartWatches] bokkiwokki:
Sorry, my bad.

Looking for a good Android watch, with Wifi, BT, G3, GPS, Heartrate etc.

The X3 plus seemed a winner, but since there appear to be different versions I need to make sure it has all the nice options, like wifi, which is a requirement for me.
[Other SmartWatches] SanderVisions:
No wifi on Gearbest is ridiculous.
[Other SmartWatches] vipjeff:
Thank you much for the files! It didnt work however. I installed both and restarted both devices but I still get the loss link nag noise. Is there something more I need to do in the settings at all?

I did not install Novalauncher do I need to?

I thought these two files simply replaced the stock ones on the phone and watch for the "watch helper" crap.
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
Latest ota update has an option to disable link loss sound.
[Other SmartWatches] vipjeff:
that is what I thought I read but where? Where is that setting to turn it off? I see it no where in phone settings if so can you please tell me which setting it is and maybe a screenshot? thx!
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
This option is in watch helper app on watch.
[Other SmartWatches] vipjeff:
ah that is where it was and it worked thank you!

Still tons of disconnects(but without sound now).

Does anyone recommend a better "tethering" type of app for the Finow X3 plus?
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
M2d maybe? But it sucks battery.
[Other SmartWatches] vipjeff:
Thank you. I see in the app store a "M2D Sender" which am sure goes on the phone and "M2D Receiver" which I am sure goes on the watch, then what is "M2S Bluetooth Manager"? do you need all three?
[Other SmartWatches] coolek33:
http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/thread/182/apps-sender-bluetooth-manager-receiver

Here you can see some feedback about it.
[Other SmartWatches] bokkiwokki:
You were right. I've ordered the X3+ at Gearbest and it appears to have wifi.

I think Gearbest support is not very well informed.

Thanks for your advice.

Any ideas>
[Other SmartWatches] zabadok:
This thread started on how to disable connection loss sound, ended up on buying from gearbest!

i tried to find the sound file on my cell phone and mute it by recording nothing on it, but no luck can't find the file.

Yes the watch has the disable option, but the phone doesn't! even if you disable notification or mute it, still sound plays!
[Other SmartWatches] zabadok:
I actually solved the problem, by decompiling the apk, and replace the soung files "bt_prxr_link_loss_alert.ogg" & "bt_prxr_path_loss_alert.ogg"

with empty sound files with same name and format.

i used APK studio to decompile it, that will create a folders. just replace the 2 sounds files in the "raw" folder.

build the apk then resign it.

and problem solved.

unless you want the sound back you have to install the official version back. now only the link loss notification will show up with no annoying sound.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] doomed151:
6.62 GB is normal. It's around the same as Google Pixel and less than Nexus 6P (where Android OS uses 7+ GB).
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] violet.tester128:
As I understand, android does not consume 6.62 GB, but it merely shows so to help the user to easily understand the usable space on the internal storage.

A 32GB drive/card/memory will only have about 29.2 GB of usable space. In case you don't know why, it's mostly because the manufacturers and OS use different systems for measurement of storage space. And some space is used up when the memory is formatted as NTFS, FAT etc. (That's why different memory cards of same capacity have slightly different usable space, depending on the formatting)

Coming back to the original point, the usable capacity of the phone's internal memory is 29.2 GB for the 32 GB model. 25.38 GB of it is available for sdcard0 (app data, media, other files etc).

So, the memory used up by the android system is 29.2 - 25.38 = 3.82 GB. This comprises of the apps and OS files.

P.S : The numbers may/may not be slightly incorrect, but you get the idea.

And if I went wrong anywhere, please point it out. :)

What plays major role in playing hd videos on smartphones. Is it the cpu , the gpu or the screen resolution. On a desktop pc the gpu plays a vital role in playing hd videos. But i dont know if its the same on smartphones. Playing hd videos on my lg E610 Is very terrible even using mx player. The phone is equiped with an 800Mhz cpu and an adreno 200 gpu all paired with 512mb ram. I dont know the screen resolution. So please what play the major role in playing hd videos on smartphones. Is it gpu, cpu or the screen resolution .
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's same with the Smartphones.

Probably you might be playing in SW decoder.

If your chipset supports hardware acceleration for the particular codec, It can be played with HW & HW+ (if supported). Both will be smooth. If your device don't have native decoders then it will try SW. In SW everything is done CPU. So, it may lag when CPU speed is not enough to decode.

Most of the modern devices can play 1080p video smoothly in HW & HW+.
[MX Player] Marvelous96:
So please in this situation of a smartphone being able to play 1080p videos what plays the vital role in hardware decoding.
[MX Player] warvevo:
Hardware decoding means it use graphic card. Adreno 200 can't decode 1080p video and your cpu clock rate is really low for decoding high quality videos.
