Smart Watch is better

The thing we wear on our wrists is getting a new life, and that is tech. With touchscreen and sensors, watches are becoming "smartwatches."

We're seeing an era in which everything wants to be improvised with technology. But how do these relatively new gadgets stand against the giants which has built their fame for ages?

We humans see tech a solution to a problem. When we have no way to communicate, we create telephones.

When we need communication mobile, we create smaller devices. When we need portable computing machines, we develop smaller computers we can hold on our palms. Technologies were known to create something based on our needs; it fixes things and eases the way we interact with our world.

But tech isn't stopping there. It's also moving into an industry we know thrives and survives well even without them. Techs are getting into your wardrobe; they're coming as part of your daily clothing. In short, they want to be inseparable from humans.

Apple Watch

With tech getting on our wrists, Apple has it with the Apple Watch, Samsung has it and Pebble also.

More contenders are up and against each other for the market that is once dominated with the likes of Swiss watchmakers. But how do these gadgets affect the industry? They certainly caught a lot of headlines, and they're all up against those old-fashioned watchmakers that made the value of a "watch" at stake.

Apple and others have taken a long time before having the proper time for the proper technology, and the vision to being their products to the market.

What we have on our wrists, previously, were worn by millions; they show bits of time, date and some others. Tech makers are fond on putting more things than necessary, but this time, they made another successful debut.

In the age of information, tech companies are putting more and more information. Smartwatches put a lot more things on your wrist. And the possibility is that there will be more things than you ever need on a device strapped tightly on your wrists.

Will these smartwatches be a replacement to the old-fashioned handmade state-of-the-art pile of cogs and gears? No. The traditional market will always have its own fans because they never want to purely put information on the wrist.

They all move in a different market.

Mohit Bansal Chandigarh says Smart Watches are Better Than Physical Watches

Mohit Bansal Chandigarh says Smart Watches are better as they offer loads of features which are helpful in our daily routine. Some of the features are activity and fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, GPS, calorie tracking, Barometer, Sedentary Reminder, and Sleep Monitoring.
[LG Watch W7] loriesew:
Very true. Absolutely agree.
[LG Watch W7] AB71:
Omega Seamaster / Longines Conquest / TAG / Rolex are statements in their own right - not just for blind technology. Hey, maybe we are so engrossed with tech that we fail to see that some may NOT want a beeper on their wrist for every notification that comes in/even if customized.

There's something called too much of it. :)
[LG Watch W7] Alex Mathew:
Hii every one,

Today's time where everyone, keep moving to the modern world here to stay fit is every one 1st priority. But due to unorganized schedule create a lot of health issues. So here is a new smartwatch which helps everyone to keep count everything. As I am working one, and not have enough time to measure my working hours and heart rate. Once I was just browsing in net, and I found bestviewreviews site, there I find lots of option and multiple varieties. And then order smart watch from there. And you will not believe, from the last 5 years, I am using the same smartwatch. It is nice, perfect in counts my pedometers and helps me to control my heart rates too.

Hi to all gurus, devs and peeps of this forum.

I just received my new 8525 in the mail.

Currently using:

ROM version : CRCs PHKv12r9

ROM Date : 11/06/07

Radio version : 1.16.00.00

Protocol Version : 32.53.7018.01H

- I am having a major problem when I try and beam files through Bluetooth.

1) I do not show a progress bar - A.K.A Percentile of compleation

2) I have a hard connecting to device after sucessful pairing

Is there a problem with my phone ? Or is every HERMES act like this one ? I'm thinking it is my Radio Version that is too low but im just guessing...

Sorry if this is a double post I have been reading forums but haven't found an answer to my questions so I figured I would post.

Thank you all ...

I also have trouble setting up my wap setting with my provider FIDO in Montreal, Qc ... If any can help I would really appreciate it ...
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mb:
The Dual SIM functionality in my 7X seems worse than my 5X. With my old Honor, you could leave the SIMs in their slots and just change which one was 3G/4G and the other 2G in the phone settings

However, the 7X seems to have fixed one of the slots to be 2G permanently. You cannot change it in the settings. So I have to physically open up the tray and swap the SIMs, which can be a pain.

Can anyone confirm whether one of the SIM slots is physically 2G only? Or can this be fixed with a software tweak or update?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] steven360:
iirc one of the sims slots is set to 2g only and the other one is 3g/4g
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GiacomoGo:
In case it helps, I don't find this Amazon reference in this forum, and so far don't find much specifically for the new 2018 8th gen Fire HD 8.

I tried following some of the instructions for ADB and prior generation Fire HD, and ended up losing connection to my 8th gen Fire HD 8 from my Win 7 laptop.

These instructions from Amazon helped me correct drivers and restore connection.

As a new member, I'm not yet allowed to post outside links, but someone else could construct the correct link from this:

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] nrichard7029:
Yes it is unlockable. Make sure you buy the unlocked version and not the Alexa or Android One version.

To unlock it, you first have to enable "OEM Unlocking" in developer options, then use fastboot to unlock the bootloader in fastboot mode on the phone.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Arsenal420:
You can't root those phones from Amazon. I got one and had to return it. Ended up getting a Google fi model (bare bones android, no bloat) and it was like 50 bucks cheaper than amazon but I did go with their service. End of story is that I unlocked the phone directly from Motorola and I rooted it no problem with Magisk.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] TadMSTR:
I just bought a Moto X4 on Swappa with the Android One logo on the back. I was doing some reading and started getting worried that I wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader. Thank you for confirming that it can be done on the Google Fi/Android One model.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Arsenal420:
No problem sir. Not saying you use this piece of technology but I could not get Xposed Framework to work on that phone. No matter how I tried it would boot loop my phone. Additionally if you are going to root it then you want to be aware of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348

It has the factory roms for all three builds (amazon, fi and retail) so you're fairly safe if something goes wrong.

Good luck!
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] TadMSTR:
I haven't used Xposed in some time but thanks for the heads up. I do plan on rooting. Get everything I need from Magisk with a few modules. I wanted to use CarbonROM but looks like it hasn't been updated in some time. Lineage will work just fine as it's an official release with regular updates.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] JensKuehnel:
Lineage works well, but be careful the last three (3) updates broke my phone.

You can recover it,but it is anoying as hell.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] TadMSTR:
Posting in case anyone else runs into this issue. I received a used Moto X4 I bought on Swappa. This is the Android One version; still had a Fi sim in it. It appears a factory reset was done but when I went into developer options to allow oem unlocking the slider was greyed out. While troubleshooting I saw an option in the bootloader called Factory and decided to try it. I assumed that was a factory reset but it didn't appear to do so as I didn't have to run through the initial setup again. Though I did have to re-enable developer options, so something got reset. This time the slider to allow oem unlocking was no longer greyed out. I was then able to unlock the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] matteoventuri:
Let me rephrase better, is worth to move from the stock samsung Oreo Rom, to a custom Rom like "Havoc" "resurrection Remix" "LineageOS" (the stable version of these)? It's been a long time since I flashed a custom Rom. On my old OnePlus One the roms were faster and better. I find the stock s7 edge rom really good, but at the same time i'm sick of the samsung experience, I want some Stock Android on my phone without losing any performance of course. So, these Roms are actually good? Stable and fast as the stock one?

Hi everyone!

I just sideloaded the Pie update to my TA-1062 (Global Rom) of Nokia 7 Plus, and I faced many bugs, so I decided to rollback to Oreo, and everything is working perfect.

Now I am in oreo with August security Patch. But I have seen many peoble who recieved the september patch.

If a check for OTA my device says that I am up to date. So I want to Know if the september security patch is rolled out to everyone or just is still in process of roll out., because we are now in october so soon we should recive the october patch.

My problem is that I don't know if as I updated manually to pie, and then rolledback to oreo, this will give me problems with the OTA's.

Thanks in advanced.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] MatthiasDS:
I haven't seen people getting the September patch on Oreo. I thought the September patch came with the Pie update.

Same here, I've the model TA-1055 and the last update I received is the August Security update. Now my phone said I'm already up to date
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vargasjei:
Hi,

As far as I know there are two variants of the TA-1062, one without Android One program wich is for China, and other one with the Android one program wich is for Taiwan.

Mine I bought it from Taiwan so it came with Android One, no needed to make any software change.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vargasjei:
Hi for sure!

I just downloaded this full image of oreo https://android.googleapis.com/packa...7fa20de741.zip

Then I applied the normal method to sideload: adb sideload ota_file.zip

The update gave me the timestamp error so I just followed this steps from a previos post.

For checking active slot, go to fastboot mode and type fastboot getvar current-slot

For changing active slot, type fastboot --set-active=a or fastboot --set-active=b according to your current slot.

For going into fastboot mode, either press Power+Volume down or type adb reboot bootloader

Afther changing the Slot I was able to apply the update.

It is important to mention that my phone did not boot without wiping data! So I had to make a full wipe! But maybe it was bad luck of me!

Let me know if this helps you!

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Even Malaysia got it yesterday, afaik.

---------- Post added at 10:29 ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 ----------

Trust me, HMD needs to work on Pie. Although they are advertising it as a stable update, but it's the same DP4.1 with "Certified". A lot of users (me as well) had to roll back to Oreo due to bugs here and there. I really hope HMD Global has noticed those bugs or atleast they read our feedback and are working on them.

---------- Post added at 10:30 ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 ----------

No there is no data loss in sideloading unless you wipe data manually.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] :
Do you think they have called back the Pie update?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
I don't think so. It's only that they are not distributing the update correctly.

And then there are some who are getting neither.. TA1062
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vargasjei:
I am starting to think there is something special with TA-1062 model
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] MatthiasDS:
What qualifies as "a lot"? A few users on the forum? I have to ask because I've been running Pie for two weeks now and it's been absolutely rock stable without any apparent bugs. Right after updating I had the black flickering in Facebook but it probably had to do with caching since it stopped doing that after like 2 days and I haven't seen it since.

Phone is better than ever with Pie.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
1. When unlocking the phone, you could see lockscreen wallpaper for few seconds

2. Sometimes you would notice status bar shows a different color right after unlocking the device.

3. When changing theme, you may see white navigation bar. You need to restart the device to make it transparent again.

4. Lockscreen message doesn't show up even if you write something.

5. You can't choose in between different location category like Device only/High accuracy or Battery saver.

6. Fingerprint response is slow.

7. App opening speed has increased quite a bit due to new animation (doesn't matter if you change the scale to 0.5x).

8. A lot of magisk modules do not work (e.g. Viper & Dolby)

9. System ui tuner can't be activated. Even if you download a third party app, you can't remove all status bar icons (e.g. mobile network, wifi icon)

10. Digital wellbeing still needs to be sideloaded or else it's not found anywhere even though in playstore, it says the app is installed.﻿

Most of the above-mentioned issues were noticed by all users (except users who are also facing them, but won't admit that).
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rubens95:
I agree with you for the first 4 points, but from 5 to 10 are not bug
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] MatthiasDS:
I'm not experiencing, or at least noticing, 1-4. Very minor points either way.

Fingerprint sensor response is lightning quick for me. Apps open fast. Rest are indeed not bugs.

Question was also how one could say that "most" are experiencing it. How big is this group of users included?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rubens95:
To temporarily solve the bug of the white nav bar when the wallpaper changes it is sufficient to manually change the theme in display settings one or two time, then set again to automatic and it fixes itself without the need to reboot
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
1) hmm, i have same wallpaper for lockscreen and launcher ;)

2) not have this problem

3) not have this problem

4) yes

5) no true, you can set for location:

- Improve Location Accuracy(=+Wifi+Mobile+Sensors)=On/Off

- (Separated) WifiScanning=On/Off

- (Separated) BluetoothScanning=On/Off

6) no, Fingerprint response is REALLY fast for me

7) no, don't see any app opening increased speed, if you don't want animation, then disable animation

8) don't use/want this modules

9) SystemUI Tuner work for me, i want show time with second and enable rotation icon

(also try now others and work on/off for: Headset, Hotspot, DnD, Volume, Airplane, Battery, Alarm, Time)

10) not really problem, i think sideloading of apk for non compatible device i normal

edit: i use "Nova Launcher" and "XDA Navigation Gesture"
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] oecboy:
Finally got the update today!! Updating now..
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vargasjei:
