[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] masri1987:
so what's the conclusion on this? Several of us over on the Note 8 forum bought our F\FD\N models and are having problems with slow LTE on t-mobile no matter what we do...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RuxpinsRevenge:
Please bear wirh me if i recap anything thats already been covered.

3 items of note

1.. First things first, I emailed my Sammy Enterprise rep and should have a definite answer within a few hours.

2. I'm assuming we're discussing the G955Nb since the phone is Korean. If that is the case, it will only run GSM. Don't quote me on it, but I'm fairly certain the SIM is still the only way for a GSM network to provision a time slot to a device. So unless Samsung is using KNOX to Geofence and lock you out of the device you should be fine.... In my humble option simply doesn't make sense. What would hapoen if you have to do a factory reset abroad?

3. When I worked at The IMF I was given 2 GS6s that were purchased in Münich. It took quite a while to activate them, but it was mainly due to ATT being skittish with APN and network config details... I hope this helps.. will get in touch as soon as I hear back from Samsung.

Thanks,

RR

This comes up every year and every year people ask the same damn thing. You deserve what you get. There is a reason that model is sold in Korea only.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RuxpinsRevenge:
If you can forward me an IMEI I can have my guy check for you. He is right though it sounds like your purchasing "gray market" merch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Warning. Do not post your imei in the forums. This is just dumb.

If people do their research they will have their answer. As I said this is not the first time this has come up. It has been asked every year for the past 5 years and the answer has always been the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RuxpinsRevenge:
Sorry figured that went without saying. Contact info is on my profile. No offense taken if you don't want to send it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
It doesn't matter to me. I know enough not to buy a Korean based device. I did my research on the matter.

This was more for other people. In this day of people ordering things from other countries because it seems cheaper always ends up with them being upset because it doesn't work like a device made for that region. It is common sense really. If an open releases a version only in one place in the world, there is a reason.

This should clear up any doubts that may linger. See attached screen shot. :)

Titanium Backup & filesystem wont work properly (Cant backup to USB tibu) LINAGE OS

Hi i have been using Cyanogen mod for a while now and wanted to try somthing new so updated to Linage OS 17.1 to try out the new Android system and now i have all sorts of issues.

First of when i was still on cm14 i tried to use Titanium Backup to create a full backup and upon trying i found that i couldnt access my USB Drive so i tried purchasing StickMount Pro I could then access the USB drive however titanium would back up a few apps then say storage was full when the USB was no where near full. I then tried formatting the USB drive with still no luck.

Now i have flashed a new TWRP 3.1.0.0 and also the lastest version of linage OS With super SU and Open Gapps and i now cant seem to get my root to work properly. I have tried using SELinux Mode Changer and that cant seem to get root access. (My root is installed in Systemless mode)

I have seen a few guides that point to the problem being with enforcing mode and to use Universal Init.d from the playstore to set it to permissive but that says my kernel does support init.d

All i need is to be able to create a full backup with titanium to my Flash drive...

Can anyone point me in the right direction or correct me where im going wrong. most things seem to point to the kernel

I HAVE TRIED -

Using a different flash drive.

Tried setting SElinux mode to permissive but i cant get it to work

Tried Using Super SU instead of built in root manager

Tried Reflashing Recovery, OS and Super SU

Thanks for any help!

[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
So i've searched the forum and got an impression this might work.

I have owned AW for 2 years on my Sony SmartWatch 3, it has NFC but AW never activated AP on AW til AW2. I just today ordered a used Urbane2 which is due to get AW2, and based on the AP on AW explanation implies that AP will work on the Urbane when it gets AW2 - right?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ndroid-wear-is-here-and-this-is-how-it-works/

So literally once we get AW2 on Urbane we'll get AP?
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
That is my understanding/hope as well.

When the Android Team announced the upcoming 2.0 release on reddit, the AW team member stated in the comments NFC enabled devices, including the Sport and Urbane 2nd Edition, would be able to use Android Pay.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/5su6z0/slug/ddi4a7j

Also, here is a teardown photo showing the NFC chip in the 2nd Edition.

I just bought one yesterday, its pretty cool, but W2 is when it will become super useful. Why doesn't Urbane 2 have its own thread? Anyone know
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Not sure really. Maybe not as many users? A result of the recall in November 2015 of the original release? Who knows. I've had mine since the original release, two days before the recall, and still wear it daily. For my purposes, it's still the best option available for AW.
[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
I didn't know there was a recall! I just picked mine up. Looking into it.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
The original release in November 2015 was recalled. It was re-released in March/April of 2016.

It sold briefly for $299 new in November 2015 before the recall then it was released again 2016 for $360 new. That's the AT&T version pricing.
[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
Is there a way to know if you have the recall version or the new hardware version?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Bought mine used, trying to find a hardware number for pre-recall post.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Do you have the original box? There is a SKU number on it. 6387 is the newer release. My original release has 6106 on it.
[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
No I bought it used. Is there another way or a serial number range?
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Hmmm I'd have to research about the serial number. They didn't sell very many originally since it was only on sale for a few days so my guess is it's the new version. I haven't had any issues with the original version.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
given its 18 months later, the LG Watch Sport looks disappointing specs upgrade, seems a downgrade in battery size (why?) and yet still a big warch and only really chipset improved, given current prices the Urbane2 is about half the price for similar specs. You then have puzzle of the Huawei Watch 2 even higher price for lower specs.

Interest moment coming when AW2 out and then see if AP works. I have rooted phone, AP works (magisk) on phone but the word is not on AW.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
If I had to replace my watch for any reason currently, I'd get the U2 again. Other than the rotating crown, the Sport doesn't offer much more for twice the price. Also, for my specific use, there isn't another watch that can provide the same functions. I like being able to forward calls to the watch and leave the phone behind during GPS recorded runs. I was also able to do this while visiting family in France because the U2 includes the 2100 band, the Sport does not. I know that's a rare need, but it was nice to have. My Truphone SIM is global so it worked with no problems.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Good to know, hadn't thought the radio bands. Although puzzling.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/PoGNC4D/lg-w200a-watch-urbane-2nd-edition-lte/france

says shouldn't get any kind of signal?
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Yeah there are a lot of inaccuracies out there. The watch does support B1 2100 band. It definitely worked in France. Select 'specifications' at the top of this site. They don't mention B1, probably because it isn't an AT&T band, but they show support for 2100.

[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
Regarding service, I'm in the united States. What sub carrier can I get a sim from and connect my watch for the cheapest? Ideally I would like Google Fi, but I need a service to add the data Sim. Wish there was a thread for confirmed carriers we can use. I heard TMobile works, but only 3g.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
T-Mobile does work with their phone SIM. Some have tried their wearable SIM with little success because they won't allow a non T mobile device on the wearable plan. I originally tried H2O and Ting but couldn't get data to work and there isn't a way to adjust the APN settings. I eventually found Truphone. They are a global SIM that uses AT&T network here in the US. It's 10 cents per minute/SMS/mb with free incoming calls/texts. It's perfect for my use, but if you end up using a lot of data it could add up quickly.
[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
Do you get full LTE? Can I buy it at a store like Walmart or Target near check out?
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Good to know. I have ATT and T-mobile SIMs in my OnePlus3T, I was going to try both in the Urbane2 and find out the actual coverage, and then decide what to do next. I was with Straighttalk before ATT, and around here ATT tends to be better coverage than T-mobile. So if Truphone is a ATT based, usage-based for the odd time not with your mobile that might be (agreed) perfect complement. The 9c/MB is the worrying part because its free for incoming and in the context of AW its going to be incoming mostly. Notifications over LTE would add up to a few MB? What is your AW Truphone MB/month type usage off you Truphone bill?
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
It does receive LTE and actually it's 9 cents per minute/sms/mb with free incoming calls/texts. They are not sold in the store as far as I know. I ordered the SIM online. It was $30 and included $15 of credit. I only activate LTE when I'm running a few times a week. I average about 1MB of data per run so it's costing me $1-$2 dollars a month. FYI, when AW 2.0 arrives it could allow for more data usage if you stream music or download apps away from the phone. I play music from the watch through bluetooth headphones so I don't plan on streaming or downloading apps on LTE.

https://www.truphone.com/us/consumer/sim/
[LG Watch Urbane] Drops77:
Looking around U.S mobile seems like an even cheaper alternative. If only using data, but doubt I'll get LTE
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
The biggest data day I've had in the last 6 months was 3.7mb followed by a 2.1mb day. All other days it's been around 1mb. Keep in mind I only activate it when running or if I forget my phone (can activate call forwarding remotely from the watch). Also, when you're paired by LTE and respond to a text with messenger, you're actually using data instead of being charged for a SMS. You can choose to send a text from the watch's number, and be charged, but usually you are using the phone's number because you're paired, similar to how it works when paired by bluetooth with a non LTE watch. I've received several notifications and responded to texts while running and data hasn't been bad. Streaming or downloading could definitely change that.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Thanks good to know. I agree AW is more for incoming calls, unexpected, when traveling light and some data for notifications.

In my case as my mobile is OnePlus3T dual SIM what I might do is put my existing 5GB/month ATT SIM in the Urbane2, then put Truphone SIM with T-Mobile 10GB/month SIM in the mobile and have the mobile have data off T-Mobile and ATT is for incoming calls only. The reason is that ATT is only really helpful for me for calls in patchy areas. On dual-SIM phones you set which SIM for data. My given outgoing phone number is Google Voice and I can tell it all 3 of my numbers so whichever ATT or T-Mobile has a signal gets through. So that might work.

I have my Urbane2 in a few days, I'll experiment then. Don't fully understand about how you set the sync of how to reply but I expect it will become obvious once I have the watch.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
It might be worth a try. Looks like it's T-Mobile network so don't think LTE will work but 3G works fine for me also. I don't notice much difference. It just depends if the SIM installs the APN settings correctly since there's no way to change them. I didn't have much luck with Ting or H2O, but maybe US Mobile would work.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Worrying. Can't change APN? So completely dependent on Google correctly recognizing and correct setting.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Which SIM?
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Just in general, not being able to change APN in AW is bad. I'm expecting no problems in my case as my sim works no edit required on Android.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Ah ok. Yeah it would be nice to have the ability to change the APN settings if needed.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
So I have now my UB2. The reviews are in general way too negative. I don't feel its too large which is the common negative, nor uncomfortable, its about the same size as my Casio toughsolar and does all it can do and more.

I make extensive use of Google Voice and Hangouts as a "unified" platform, I give out my GV number and so anything online running Hangouts ring and I have GV pointing to my T-Mobile and ATT numbers. I tried both T-Mobile and ATT in the UB2 and the ATT was a better signal so I've left like that for now.

I did some trial+error testing the relationship with the phone. Seems Hangouts in AW needs the phone to be the gateway with Hangouts service, its not standalone. When I send a text message to my GV number, it will show in hangouts on AW but if I put the phone in airplane mode, then AW ceases getting messages. When I went into GV and broke its link with Hangouts so it sends to all linked mobile numbers, then those come through and if I reply then they go back as if from my GV. Hence I can receive calls with the mobile to my GV and I can receive and reply via my GV number. What I can't do is send texts or make calls from my GV number, there is no Hangouts / GV integration in AW as say there is in Android or Hangouts in Chrome browser on desktops.

I look forward to AW2 to see if it brings more native Hangouts to AW.

I played with the call forwarding, I now understanding what it is doing. when you enable forwarding on the UB2 it talks with the phone and sets its call forwarding to your UB2's SIM number. Well in GV you don't need that step as you can register both mobile and UB2 SIM numbers so they both ring independently, so there is no need for forwarding.

I played with the LTE on/off. So unlike a mobile its an all or nothing option, cellular on or cellular off. There is no, like a mobile, ability to have cellular on for receiving calls but cellular data off to make it a "dumb phone". Pity as often you'd just want to receive calls and texts.

Question: I can set preferred data to LTE or 3G or 2G. Has anyone benchmarked battery drain with these? I don't need data speed as its just a small amount of data for notifications. Reading up on this, there is no rule about which is better. So I've left on the defaults.

Overall when AW2 comes, particularly if Hangouts and GV comes native to AW then I think this will be great, when i'm out moving if I want to make a call or text then sending from my GV would be ideal.

I'll move around for a week or so then decide if I want to get another ATT SIM so i have one in phone and one in watch, right now I have ATT in UB2 and TM in phone which isnt ideal as if the phone doesn't get a signal then certain functions won't work on UB2 even if it has a signal.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
I've never used GV or Hangouts so I can't give any additional info about that. I know many have upgraded to the developer preview for 2.0 so I'll look and see if anybody mentions details about their experience.

I haven't benchmarked the battery drain but I know in my area LTE is spotty with the watch and 3G (HSPA) has a strong signal and plenty of speed for my needs so I've set my default to 3G.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
I downloaded and installed AW2 Preview, experimented, then went back to stock AW1.5.

There is only marginal added functionality and being an AW1 2 year user I was more irked with the different navigation method.

Good:

- NFC enablement is there in settings.

- built in Play Store. To be honest its dominated by watch faces. I had to manually install the companion AW apps I had on my phone like Hangouts, so is actually more effort to get started.

- keyboard. This gives more options than voice recognition and pre-defined and emojis, I think this was probably the only useful gain so far.

- Android Pay. It would not work saying I failed its tests, even after locking bootloader, so might be due to it being a developer preview?

Bad:

- stuttering

- screen goes blank for seconds, unresponsive

- the lag for example meant I accidentally phoned someone and could not cancel in enough time and it woke them as like midnight.

- no real (yet) decent applicable standalone apps. So there is no standalone gmail, hangouts, office365 email (corporate Outlook). So you're still tethered to an Android device like a mobile, so its still the case you're taking a significantly tethered companion device to your mobile, and all LTE does is stretch the tether beyond BT or Wifi.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Yeah Android Pay wasn't activated in the preview.

I'm a bit fearful the 'upgrade' is going to break some functions I use. I already know I will lose the double tap theatre mode which I use often. If I could just add Android Pay only and leave everything else alone that would be fine by me. Everything I need is working on 1.5.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
AW2 on UB2 you have the button mapping options, decide what the top and bottom buttons. I didn't play long enough to get my muscle memory to work out what's best for me there.

The main gain is the keyboard.

Fortunately the AW app on the phone supports multiple devices, I have the SW3 not going to get AW2 (shame, it has NFC hardware) but we know the UB2 will. It's largely going to be a "tough, get used to it" with AW2's changes, I also find it irksome but I only played for a couple of hours, I'd just focus and re-learn over time til I got slick. I can use them both for different contexts in parallel.

It's good to play with the DP5, lets me know what the UB2 capability can be. It's a step up from my SW3 as I now know how to make it receive/make calls and texts and know if I want to leave a mobile behind so long as its online to be the gateway for non-standalone apps (which are the majority) then that's something. Built in keyboard helps to make for bad voice recognition in the replies to emails/texts.

For me though it is a missed opportunity still, to make AW closer to the Samsung Gear S3 vision of a more standalone wearable optimized device. I heard of a Watch Play Store, its not really that well optimized. The Gear S3 vs AW debate is currently around apps and how AW will win, well I'm not seeing that yet. I played with the Uber app it was clunky but just about usable if your phone was broke. No Facebook app, but there was Messenger. I found a browser which could serve as standalone searching for things. So kinda of a backup phone.
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
I went back up to AW2 Developer preview to try out different fitness and I had to go back down to AW1.5 , the issue UB2 is just unresponsive, example is the watch face is there, but if I touch it, screen goes blank, wait then screen reappears, touch it, goes blank, so hit the button on the side, I feel some vibration and get the impression I'm interacting with an application. Had to press+hold to reboot.

Also during the experience on AW2, I think one has to be very selective on what apps you install, many you have no choice, but I'd guard against installing anything not strictly required.

My theory is this about the realities of only 768MB of RAM, I have similar issues on 1GB RAM phones, the workaround is just brutal minimalism.

The watch face must be a resource hog because its interacting with the "complications" of which you can have up to 4 of them.

I expect this can be tuned away, but given also the LTE battery life problems, just set really minimalist low expectations.
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Which apps have no choice for installation? The Google apps? I thought you could select the apps you want to install, either from the watch play store or the 'apps on phone' options in the watch play store, instead of auto install like on 1.5?
[LG Watch Urbane] nigelhealy:
Some apps like the LG fitness one are baked in, you have no choice, but some like Google fit you can elect to install. The ones you have a choice are "apps on your phone" type section at bottom of the play store.

So in my case with the "standalone" concept I used the non-free email app from appfour , this has the advantage you use locally standalone native for email which therefore does not require the companion phone. The issue is it has no "connect when instructed" vs "all the time" option in settings so it is always running checking and downloading emails. I had it for work's office365 outlook via IMAP and the good news is it worked (literally, turn off mobile and still get emails) but it would always be running, no option to make it manual vs automatic. That's the sort of thing I'd be careful with with AW2, just highly selective import apps.

The notion the AW2 can be used as a backup phone (e.g. to read and reply to work emails) only makes sense if the standalone native AW2 apps have options to run in background or only when you select to run them. I expect that will involve simply more folks on AW2 and giving feedback (which I will be doing).
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Thanks for the info. I'm hesitant to get the update but guess I'll have to figure it out when it finally comes. Just hope it doesn't break my current activity tracking. Using Wear GPS/Ghostracer now I have no issues recording runs with LTE active and playlists stored on the watch bluetooth streaming to my headphones. I hope it all still works with 2.0. And hopefully with little data increases. I only use about 15mb or less per month now.
