[Samsung Galaxy Watch] cwb1231:
I have the galaxy watch now after having previous versions. I get Skype and WhatsApp notifications. I think the access to calls texts and emails is great. One thing you will have to search for is watch faces that have what you need on the watch face to make them easy to access.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tel864:
I dont use Skype and wouldn't touch Whatsapp so I can't comment on those. Stair climbing has never worked because of the 10 ft algorithm Samsung uses but the rest of the fitness functions and GPS on my Galaxy are right on. I use them multiple times a week at the gym and they're spot on. My heart rate will match with the machines always within 1 or 2 bpm. The only thing I compare it to is my previous Fitbit and my wife's Fitbit. Fitbit makes crap and I'll never buy their junk again. Their fitness trackers are a joke so before you buy, make an account there and read through their community posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rahulkheria:
Very honest opinion.. and i would add that sometimes when i ride a bike it counts as i m doing cycling
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] RussianSolja:
Is there a way to get free watch faces kinda like paid apps for free?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] RussianSolja:
So stick to the Samsung watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] BlackCatO8:
Yes, there are plenty of free watch faces on Galaxy Apps and if you don't find what you want you can try apps like facer or watchmaker, plus if you want it you could use the Galaxy Watch Designer app on your pc to make your custom watch faces.

I would say that it's something only you can answer.

For me the galaxy watch is great because it fits all my needs.

I get all the notifications I really need from work, family and friends and I can answer them but it's mostly calls, emails and WhatsApp messages(I do check out the notifications from social media but only to see if It can be interesting to check on the phone or pc).

It also tracks all the workout I do and I can store all the music I need for it so I can go out and do it without any need of my phone.

I know people that need less things from a smartwatch and could do fine with a less expensive one from any other brand, meanwhile other people need or want to use some apps that don't work great with a Samsung watch and choose either a android or apple watch to make it work better with the phone they have.

You should check what you want from a smartwatch and look if a Samsung watch is really what suits your needs.

Feel free to ask more things if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Filipal:
I had several different models. S3 was too big for my hand and stopped working three times. In addition, Samsug's heart rate measurement is bad, you can not measure the heart rate and walk. FitBit is great for fitness but is ugly. There is not too much apps, you can not personalize the watch too much. Some activities recorded only after 10 minutes. My husband has a Garmin tactix and that's the best watch I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the watch is too big for my tight hand. The battery is much better, heart rate measurement is more precise, sleep tracking is better.... I'm impressed
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sudermatt:
The 1 problem I had with all other watches was i couldn't go all day on a charge with everything turned on.

This one does. Nuff said. For that, it's worth it.

Which firmware??

Arb or non arb..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Since you are using latest beta ROM and assuming you haven't flashed any non ARB ROM to keep anti 3

You can flash any ROM with ARB or without ARB no need to sorry but do not flash older firmware

If you have low headphone sound then change region to India or Switzerland

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gold_sprinter:
I have recently updated to the Alltel GPS Rev A Rom. I have not been able to get the GPS working on my phone (Bell Canada Network). I am going to keep trying but I am wondering if I were to go back to my ROM that I downloaded specifically for Bell, how would I do that? I have been told it is difficult to Flash back to a previous ROM. I am also a little nervous, when I connect to the internet on my phone instead of connecting through the BEll network. It says it is connecting to the Alltel network. Will this affect my billing? Maybve I should flash back my original ROM and wait for a Bell official release. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SL:
It is only a name on the connection. You are still connected to bell.

It takes a few minutes to get a lock....it is not uncommon to wait 2-5 minutes.

For myself, I use the 3.35 radio and I get my connection within 2 minutes most of the time with google map and igo
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rvnteck:
If you're getting paranoid seeing the AllTel Logo, just flash it to JD's 6.1 ROM and that will solve your problem. When it comes to the GPS, just make sure you followed all the instructions right for the GPS settings and for sure that will fix it. Just add a little patience with it.

With my Bell Touch everything is running smooth and awesome! its really worth doing the ROM upgrade!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gold_sprinter:
Thanx for the advice, I actually ended up finding a ROM made for Bell at PPCgeeks (I don't remember the link). works like a dream. And again you were right, it was just a matter of being patient. I let it sit for a few minutes and it started to pick up my location. Thanx for you help guys!!:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mp4291:
Questions from a Newbie!

This is the first thread I have found that pertains to The Bell Network here in Canada. I have the HTC Touch and from what I have been reading that it IS possible to get the GPS feature activated in the Touch. My concern is I dont want to pooch my phone as I dont have a regular home phone...the touch is all I have. I want to unlock this feature but I need someone to walk me through the steps. It would be nice to also have someone post likes to the files that I will need to unlock the GPS on my Bell HTC Touch.

I hope that someone will respond and take the time to explain this to me...thanks in advance :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mp4291:
Help Please

I think I may have pooched my Bell HTC Touch. I updated the ROM....however it was a Sprint ROM v 3.03.651.2 and the Radio is 3.42.30. It works perfectly as a cell phone but I can not connect to the internet to surf. When I try using INternet Explorer it says ...connecting to Sprint PCS....and it does not work, I tried loading the correct ROM for Bell ( v. 1.19.666.1) ....but it will not let me do it.

Can anyone tell me how to fix my phone?!! ARGH!!!!:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] iSergiwa:
I read many reviews about this phone that say it has no haptic feedback feature (vibrate when touching the navigation bar's virtual buttons). The reviewers said that because they didn't find any setting to enable/disable this feature. Well, the feature is there, only the setting to enable/disable it is missing. To enable this feature you may need to use a 3rd party app. It's not a specific app but this one will do. Just run the app and go to Power Optimizer>Other>Haptic Feedback.

Notes:

1. My device is rooted. I didn't test this trick on unrooted devices.

2. The feature gets disabled after reboot sometimes. You need to re-enable it again then.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Hello guys,

I have been searching for answers to some of the tech stuff, but couldn't find them.

Here are some of those questions. Hope some of you would have answers to these. Thanks in advance!

ANDROID

1. How to share files between multi-users on Android 11?

Before Android 11, it was possible to save files inside the Android/ obb folder, and these files were visible for all users on the device. In Android 11, this is no longer working as the 'obb' folder appears to be exclusive to each user.

I know this is possible via USB OTG or a cloud service, but is there a solution without these?

2. How to copy/ backup game data for non-rooted devices?

Helium Backup doesn't seem to work. I have played a game for long on my Mediapad, and I would like to copy that game to my phone. Unfortunately, my Mediapad is not rooted and losing all that game progress has become a nightmare. I have written to the app developer to provide some sort of backup using either Google Play Games or social media integration like Facebook/ Twitter, but haven't received any response.

3. How to force apps (esp. file managers & gallery apps) to use in-app media viewer without changing system default.

For example, I may use the stock gallery app as default for viewing media. But if I am using another gallery app or a file manager that is capable of viewing media files using its own media viewer, I would rather want it use it than open the default app. Is there a way to do it?

4. Replace stock file manager (a system app) with another app from Google Play Store or other sources. Is this possible?

I am not asking how to convert a user app into system app. I know that part. I tried replacing the apk file of the stock file manager with a 3rd party apk, even renamed it, but it didn't work.

5. Extract a system app from one device and install it on another device without root. Is this possible?

I have tried it, but apk installation fails. For example, Samsung Gallery app on OnePlus phones.

iOS

1. How to install .ipa (iPhone app) on an iPhone (not jail-broken) without a laptop (iTunes)?

2. Is it possible to have SFTP server for iPhone?

All Operating Systems

1. How to provide LAN only access for non-rooted devices as well as in Windows & iOS?

For rooted devices, we have apps like AFWall+ that can do it. But is there a way to do it for devices without root, as well as for Windows and iOS?

For non-rooted devices, we have apps like Netguard that support 'Allow LAN access' whilst blocking internet access.

Are there any alternatives and solutions for other platforms?

2. How safe is it to enter login credentials in an app to allow it access to network drives?

I use several apps (on various platforms) to connect to my laptop over SMB. This requires me to provide the app with my Windows Login Credentials, which is a Microsoft account. Am I risking my account by providing this info to the app? Is it safe to enter login credentials of cloud services in file manager apps?
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Just bumping this thread as it seems to have been lost/ unnoticed.

@Ultramanoid can you answer some of these?
[General Questions and Answers] Ultramanoid:
Can't help much, sorry. As to Android, some notes :

1. Never have used an OEM / Google's version of Android, or anything other than rooted single-user systems.

2. In addition to the previous answer, I'm not a gamer.

3. I usually don't ever set defaults with some rare exceptions, so I am always given a choice of what I want to use to handle a file. It may vary depending on many things; I may want to edit an SVG file as text, or view it as an image, for instance. There are applications / services that will intercept intents to allow you to do this sort of thing as well, but I can't recommend a specific one, never use them myself.

4. Possible, but will break Android as by now the system requires it as a file picker in many instances without recognizing alternatives and developers of most applications do expect it as well and their services will not work without it. Don't do it. With recent Android storage changes, including the scoped storage debacle, this is not a viable option anymore.

5. Depends, but not likely as a general rule, specially for OEM garbage, which relies on their own proprietary modifications of Android, their libraries, frameworks, et al. You'd have to carry those over to the destination too, which may not even be possible. Use OEM-independent and not Google Services reliant applications. ( Edit : you'll find some of those applications built to install on all devices here on XDA by single developers, "SONY camera for all devices" and that sort of thing, not recommended anyway, not well supported or long-lived experiments. )
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Thanks very much. But I wish you answered the last 2 questions as well.

If time permits, would you be interested in telling us how you use your phone? I mean which device, which OS and what apps you use. I would like to give that a try (on a spare device) and see if it is possible for me to live without Google.
[General Questions and Answers] Ultramanoid:
Didn't answer because it won't be helpful.

As to the 1st, I don't use LAN, and I don't keep data in any device or computer unless in use. External independent encrypted storage to be used wherever, whenever, independent of device, cables if needed.

As to the second, it's a matter of common sense, being informed of vulnerabilities and aware of reputation, and trust. Would you trust Chrome or Mozilla with data if you're online banking ? Seems reasonable -- but be aware of major vulnerabilities that may be going on. Would you trust an application released yesterday by a single developer for the same ? Probably not a good idea.

Finally, I doubt what I use and how I use it would be acceptable for you, or most people. In essence you could : Install latest firmware, wipe device, install latest security patched Lineage build for it, remove vendor / Lineage applications, get full root, remove anything you don't need or use which could have vulnerabilities; frameworks, libraries, binaries, etc ( Bluetooth, SMS, Android system-wide downloader, system-wide WebView, NFC, and on and on .. ), install your own binaries, fonts, hosts file, and applications where appropriate ( /bin /etc et al ), install Termux and all Linux packages required for your use, everything open source whenever possible, and stay away from any Google services / Play / applications with ANY trackers, analytics, data mining or even crash report capabilities; zero tolerance. Internet permission only for a secure web browser -- and terminal if / when needed. Half of what I do or use goes through terminal to be honest. In short, for me an Android device is a full Linux laptop replacement with added perks : Always on and on me, camera, GPS, pedometer, unlimited LTE data, and emergency calls for medics / police. ( Edit : And Japanese EEW alarm of course ! Only notification I use. We learned our lesson well in 2011. )
