I'm not really sure whether these are truly classed as smartwatches, maybe more of a gshock with a few extra features.
I thought I'd take the plunge and buy one of these as the gshock range has always appealed to me, and recently the watch has become compatible with the galaxy s4.
First impressions are very good, a very nice looking, light watch that works as described.
The Bluetooth features work well, although it relies on the gshock+ app, which is a bit limited. At the moment you can receive notifications for SMS, email,Facebook,twitter and incoming calls.
What really appealed to me is the promised 2 year battery life, which sets this apart from all the other 'smartwatches' and is waterproof up to 200m.
Definitely worth considering if you don't need heaps of features.

I have the 6900aa although there's a newer version out now, the 6900b that has some improved features, such as controlling your music from the watch, and setting the timer and alarm from the phone. However, the only way I'd be able to get hold of one, being in the UK, would be to order from Japan.
Feel free to ask if there's anything else you want to know

I'm sure it can in theory because the old version of the app worked with the s4 when that was running 4.2, so 4.3 wasn't a requirement back then.

Yep, its a GB-6900B-1B, and has a Negative LCD
A Few things I have noticed that I dont like.
The G-Shock App is where all the work is done, so no app no watch, thats fair enough but annoying.
IF I receive and email on my phone via email or gmail I don't get alerted, as the GShock app will go off every 5,10 or 15 minutes and do an imap check on its own, I dont see why it does not use the current notifications. Leading to quite the delay.
I dont get an alert when there are other notifications, I again cant see why it does not do that, it could just beep, or show the subject in the windows like it does email addresses and phone numbers.
Re connection to the phone is troublesome, I dont know if that's because I am using 4.2.2, but it can be a pain in the arse, turning off bluetooth, turning it back on over and over again to get it to connect.
Otherwise I like it
The music control works well and when I do get notifications I know I got them as its hard to miss

Agree with this, I think if Casio spent some time developing the gshock a lot of these issues could be resolved.
Also agree that reconnecting automatically can be a pain and often involve force closing the app doing it manually. I think this is also the case in 4.3.
One thing I did like is setting up the Tasker app so that you dont have to enter a pin code on the phone while the watch is connected.

I think its more with the APP rather than the watch too, it seems the watch just shows data fed to it from the app, it really needs some good solid dev time.

So true, so true. If this had a more robust notification app. it would be a lot more functional. Obviously, this is one of the most attractive looking of the smartwatches and certainly the battery endurance is incredible. Only wish it would take a page from the old Sony Liveview and make the app more customizable and allow 3rd party, feature rich notifications.
I am on the verge of giving up, I can even put up with the 5 minute delay on emails, as they are emails.
However the connection problems are doing my head in, I just can get the app to work properly.
On a positive note, since I got the app update yesterday the connection issues are now easier to deal with, I no longer have to restart the phone to connect the watch

Android rocks!!1
have not tried android yet, though would like to give it a go. the only thing is that i am a bit concerned with flashing a different radio and messing my 3g connection which i enjoy in the house i have recently moved in and then there are issues with the battery drain and over heating and also if i wanna use android daily i guess it is better to use a more optimised rom than my stock one which i cant be bother to flash
Bought the HD2 for WinMo and the best hardware on the market the month it came out. was very happy with it. Flashed a ton of roms. Decided to give android a try. I haven't used WinMo since July now. I still feel I have some of the best hardware on the market and feel its even better with android. Sorry WinMo, I have been turned to the dark side...

Tried android, worked well, really liked flash support in the browser, but that was the only positive thing I found.
Sense wasn't as functional on android, the rest of the OS looked like android copied IOS. All the apps looked like iphone apps.
Really looking forward to wp7. Now that twitter has been integrated along with netflix and youtube, not much that it doesn't do right out of the box.

Been using Android on my HD2 for a couple of weeks. Only thing that I do not like is the battery drain. Other than that, it makes WM look sick. I have had many WM phones over the years. I have an iPhone, too.
The major things I like about Android:
1. Apps are so available and easy to DnI and YES, they do look like iPhone. Main reason why I liked the iPHone and Android apps compare to WM apps. Much cheaper in cost and more availability. Yes, I do know that WM has a lot of apps as I do a lot of searching, reading, forums other than this one. Display is much better in format using non-WM apps.
2. Speed - Android seems much faster than WM even when I compare the same apps using WM and/or Android.
3. Customization - I use HD2 Sense, SPB Mobile Shell and now with Android, I can get the same customization using the apps available on Android store.
Oh, just thought about another thing I don't like about Android. No Restart without Power Off and Power On going through WM or dual booter.
Got the best of both worlds. If you haven't tried it, don't knock it. JMHO!

I tried everything and still a lot of battery drain. I use TaskPanel X and Kill All Background Tasks constantly and within minutes I have apps restarted such as:
Voice Search, Startup Auditor, Taskiller, News and Weather, FolderOrganizer, Clock, etc. The list of open apps changes minute by minute. I have even put these apps in the Killer List and Disabled these using both options: Startup Disable and Keep Disabled in Startup Auditor. I really don't understand why they kick off when they are flagged in Startup Auditor.
Any suggestions?

Not an Computer Engineer or anything but while I had the Nexus One there was always a HUGE debate on whether or not to use a task killer.
One guy whose opinion I respect alot said that the way Android works, it actually takes MORE battery to kill tasks since the tasks will use more juice starting back up again and again (getting killed each time) instead of just letting them running in the background without using any power...
I never used the Task Killers personally unless the app I was in locked up but what do I know?
Luv the screen pen etc.
But samsung upgrade policy is archaic to say the least. I'm still waiting nearly a month since the german version has been released. At least give us the dates ...and what excuse could there be mines unlocked.and I dont really want to root it and lose the warranty.how come apple can update millions more in a single day ..come on samsung
Kies software is a joke up to five hours to back up and then it doesn't restore ( on the web thousands of people have the same problem.
Why can't I back up my phole phone inc memry card easily and fast.

Sounds like you shoulda stuck with the iphone, I don't see what benefits you would have coming over to android if you're not prepared to root and try ROMs, yes samsung is a joke, but I can honestly say I have never regretted leaving iOS for android once.........except when the phone hangs during A PHONE CALL!!!! you know the thing it was actually made for - making and receiving phone calls, Not a regular occurrence I must admit but quite an ironic defect of many new ROMs I've tried in the past, LOL

You don't need to be rooted to use PC Odin to install the latest official ROM.
There are great keyboards out there...instead of just one on the iPhone. Look at Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey. There is even an iPhone keyboard...gasp.
And since you don't want to root (you can unroot for warranty purposes and Samsung is none the wiser....) checkout MyBackup Pro in the market.
Samsung - a joke as a company?!?! Do us a favor and never, ever buy a Motorola phone. If you are going ballistic over a Galaxy, you'll kill yourself with a Droid...
you can just copy all the files from your sd to your computer very very very easily using a usb cable, have you never used a computer before? Or alternatively download dropbox and use that to back up your phone. Little bit of research about how android works might actually benefit you. About the updates, if you wanna get all the amazing features of android compared to iphone, you'll have to put up with the update schedules, but updates don't really matter on android you still have more functions that ios.
Wow ... cool it guys. OP is simply used to the apple way of doing things. Give him some time to explore the wonderful world of Android iam sure he'll start to love it.
OP please google a bit or check the play store you will find the solutions for all your complaints.
Edit
I just checked your other posts, almost all of it is about Samsung not updating the note to ics.
Why do you want the stock ics so badly ?
Do you honestly believe that ics will solve all your problems magically?
Believe me stock ics is a can of worms that is better left unopened . (personal opinion pls don't flame me guys )
but If you are so desperate please flash any custom roms which suits your needs, I recommend paranoid
Just to add, since i got my note i have had to firmware updates. One to 2.3.6 and then the 4.0.3 update. This is since April. Now you tell me of any iphone that has had 2 updates in that timeframe. (including major updates like ics )....
And apple can update easier as in total there are only 5 phone's ,of which only a couple of model get the update. Think his many different droids there are!

Please tell me you're having a laugh.... Have you never been on http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/ ?
i wanted new set of icons....with flashy colours...i just installed a ROM....and my friend has an iphone and he wanted to change the icons too....o]h wait...you can only change WALLPAPERS in that... thats AWESOME
ACTUALLY I have the Note and I have never rooted. I don't find it necessary. I have an application called Folder Sync, and what it does is it backs up my files every night (especially camera files, but you can set it up to your entire SD card) to Dropbox or SugarSync, it has a lot of options for providers. The benefit is that you don't manually need to connect to a computer or anything. You will always have your files synced up. I even have it so when I delete a file off of the server or my computer, it'll be reflected as well on the phone. I hated having to have to connect my phone to my computer every time I wanted to update a folder, sync something, or download something. Every night my phone waits until 4AM, plugged in and has wifi on to sync my 32 gig SD card with its content.
As for the keyboard, it might take you some time to, you know, actually get used to a normal keyboard. Apple had good autocorrect. But I'd rather take the more accurate typing space on the Note over the iPhone's smart predictive text. Apart from that, I have AutoText Replacements which means I can type ty and thank you will come out. I have "putmail" and my mailing address comes out. This is really helpful, and it can't be done on the iPhone, but yes on Android. Try Ultra Keyboard, that's what I use. Tons of themes, settings and it's fairly intuitive.
There are a lot of benefits to Android. If you're just angry about ICS not out yet in your region, I'm sorry, but many times it doesn't only depend on Samsung. It depends also on the carriers, which most bend over backwards for Apple only because they're what's hot and hip right now.
I'd say that if you're easily frustrated, stick to iOS. If you like to tinker a little, stay with Android. The possibilities are endless with apps and configurations.
Once again, I don't root because I think Android is open enough the way it is. You can download an original rom and install it without voiding your warranty, using PC Odin.

This won't give you full peace of mind compare to Rooted.
Agree, If you are noob then should avoid from custom things and playing of different mods.
There is nothing wrong to have rooted Note with rest of completely stock.
Here are some must reason to root (for me)
- Backup you are creating is just additional data, you can get it again once you have application installed on device. And this data is having rare chance to get delete. even you format(hard reset) this data still survives. Only thing which is better to have is backup of Camera (DCMI folder) which you can't get(here folder sync really need). But i do save it on ext memory card, so in case of anything goe wrong still it will escape.
Now if you are rooted, then you can schedule your backup tottaly different way. Like my system stuff backup will start three days of weeks at 4AM, which backup my contacts, SMSs or watever sytem data.
And rest of three days it backup all newer installed application + data (here you will get app + setting, after restoring even you don't need to enter credential, OR won't lose levels you have completed in games)
- What I need is google Maps, In my country still google don't providing me navigation (just direction), but with moded Map I can get it. And yes root is needed for that.
-Remove lots of bloatware from stock system
-Stoping unnecessary auto starting application on boot.
Reagarding warranty, anytime you can just flash stock ROM with PC Odin and your root will erase and you get warranty back

Give it a try. It probably won't work, though.
I'm sure it will not. But I would like to see official support from CM one day ;] Just a dream though.
EDIT:
Hm but in the repository I can see a ril lib so maybe there would be a chance

There are older devices that are supported. Only maintainers are missing ;]

I have a dock if you'd like me to run any tests on that. How is the snappiness etc?
You guys never fail to amaze me!

If cm10.1 supports it, yes. Quite frankly, I don't care if this supports moonspeak. This is an English board, and a ROM for English users.

I've not done much testing. It supports 1.5 GHz OC, so it should be fine.

Fixed, I've moved things over to Google Drive.
Ok.. this rom is pretty nice... just about everything works... except GPS seems to, but doesn't.. icon comes on.. but no lock... and stock keyboard craps out while trying to type... easy fix was TouchPal keyboard..now.. one revolutionary break through I am noticing.... Skype with a Bluetooth headset... does not work on any rom I've tried... making me think it's a hardware issue... well.. on this rom.. Bluetooth pairs great... and in Skype... I actually get it to work doing a test diagnostic through Skype. Before.. on other roms..I did not hear any sound through the headset... or was able to use the mic..neither worked. Now.. I hear the skypecor testing service through the earpiece... but.. it sounds fast.. and like a helium voice... and when I talk to test my recording... it plays it back really slow... lol... so... all in all... I haven't tested it out talking to a human.. but I now believe it's a software issue... and could be fixed... I bought this tab to Skype... it has a great front Cam... but the stock mics are horrible.. forcing one to use a headset.. which a wired one worked fine on shellshock.. but haven't tried it on this one yet.. I just want to be able to Skype with a Bluetooth headset like I should be able to... could you please look into this? I would be most thankful, as I hate wires... lol. Rom is awesome so far..

While I would love to look into these issues, I don't have the knowledge or experience to fix these problems. I'm currently just building the most up-to-date version of CM10.1 for our tablet. If there are any patches available, I'd be happy to include a recommenced patch section.
Anything would help... it's just crazy a nice tab like this one boasting a sweet front Cam would work good with Skype straight out of the box.. but not this one.. lol.. thanks for putting it up though.. I've been wanting 4.2.2 on this..

Good job! Since you haven't modified anything WiFi is likely still broken. I haven't yet had time to look at the code but I will next week. I might collaborate with you on some solutions.
I'd also reconsider not looking at the 3.8 kernel source. While I dislike them as much as the next guy for acting like spoilt children they are at least playing by the rules now. We could benefit a lot from working together again.
Wi-Fi works fine... see my first post.

No, I'm an asshole. There's a difference. Oh, dual core. That's like saying both a 6502 and a Pentium 4 are both single core. While true, you don't see me running Linux on my NES. If you don't want to run this ROM (which you didn't pay for, and aren't obliged to use), then don't run it. I give no ****s.

6502 introduced 1985, Pentium 4 introduced in 2000. That is a 15 year difference. This tab is just hitting two years old. Expecting a current OS to run on it and run decently (which it does) is not an unreasonable expectation. Is my Nexus 4 speedier and smoother than this tab? Yes it is. Is there a big difference in performance? Nope, not really.
You are thinking exactly the way the hardware manufacturers want you to think! That there should be no expectation that hardware more than 6 months gets upgraded to the latest OS.
Another thing to fix... Skype with a WIRED headset only works for hearing.. no mic..even with a wired headset. This is a very smooth rom worth some tweaking... if I knew how, I'd be tweaking my ass off.. lol

I bought my Z3C 10 weeks ago and still haven't used it other than turning it on for a few minutes etc. I charged it for the first time yesterday and am now ready to start! I had been waiting in the hope that CM11/12 would come to it, but I think it's time to forget about that happening and just start using it.
I'm pretty ignorant of all tech things so would really appreciate any help in being able to achieve the following with it:
Rooted
Free of bloatware
updateable OTA
simple android launcher
all the while without losing quality of camera etc..
I've been suggested just using google now launcher and disabling apps and I've been suggested XPOSED and I've been suggested AOSP and I'm a little confused as to what to go for. I see FXP just posted this: http://fxpblog.co/releases/aosp-lollipop-release-from-fxp-just-in-time-for-christmas/
But I'm not even too sure if that meets my criteria?
It's a phone used 99% for business and once I set it up once, I want that to be it and don't want to be reinstalling ROMS etc. I'd like whatever I do now, to last me until I get rid of the phone in maybe 2 years time as I can't have any downtime (which is why I've chosen the Christmas holidays to migrate from my current phone to the Z3C too )
If anyone could please please advise I'd really appreciate it and you'd be greatly helping me!
Why root it at all?
There's hardly any bloat, and what there is van be disabled.
Adblock plus works for both 3g and wifi almost as well as a adaway.
Install Nova launcher and you are done.

Its impossible to root without losing camera quality. Why would you even want to? Its a stable clean rom they have on there and the extra's baked in are only useful. Just delete all the crap apps, possible with my T-Mobile version (Netherlands) and just keep some of the sony stuff. The walkman app is my default music player since it supports folder playing.
Seriously just use the phone its a quality product.
Thanks a lot for the replies folks, really appreciate it, especially Christmas morning
The reason I wanted to root, is just to have it open for anything that might need root access in the coming 2 years or so of use. I think there's a few apps I have on my Motorolla RAZR-I XT890 (phone I've been using for the last 1.5/2 years) which need root access:
AdAway (if adblock plus does the same job then that should be fine, but I listen to music a lot on youtube and don't want ads there if possible)
Auto Ring (I THINK this needs root access, it's an app that lets you white list certain numbers/contacts so that if your phone is on silent, it still rings - pretty important for me)
InCall Recorder (again I THINK it needs root, it can record calls internally, not using the microphone like most of these apps do - actually, it's never worked properly on my Razr-I, but I'd like to have it there)
Root Explorer (think it needs root, I use this to disable apps, replace default launcher etc, maybe it's not necessary anymore?)
I'm happy to replace all the above but I also use:
CERBERUS - This needs Root access to be hidden from the app drawer, I'm not sure if it needs it for other functions too, but this is very important.
I've a very specific list of apps I use for my phone, k9 mail, dialer one, jorte calendar and widgetsoid, I'm sure these will all still work fine and if the camera will instantly lose quality and ability on a root, I'd prefer to avoid it if possible?
One important thing to note by the way... Before I've had to hire an android expert to set my phone up for me to root it, install a rom etc. I don't like to mess around with things I'm not familiar with and prefer to pay someone who is guaranteed to do it right, rather than researching for hours how to do it, so I'd be looking for the same this time if I'm going down the root route, but if that's not necessary, that could be even easier!
Cerberus doesn't need root to be hidden!

Oh really? So maybe I'd actually get away without rooting so? What are the main reasons to root so?

Honestly, despite feeling like I needed to root my previous N4, I haven't found the need to root this phone. In terms of what I want, there's really nothing pressing that outweighs the loss of camera functionality, etc. In fact, there were a bunch of things that I expected would need root that actually didn't.
The back button on PieControl works with accessibility and doesn't actually need root any more, which was my major worry. My airplane mode and GPS Power Toggles don't work, but those are easily accessible in the editable Quick Settings dropdown. Cerberus is hidden from the app drawer, though it isn't installed as a system app. My Tasker stuff that deals with music toggle pause/next/back works if I use the shell command to input keyevents (despite all documentation saying that should only work with a rooted phone). The computer app lets you do backups and restores, so you don't need nandroid backups, and Titanium Backup is not as big a deal for me, despite its utility for rolling back app upgrades. There is some stuff Secure Settings can't do, like turn the pattern lock on or off, but that's probably the only one I care about, and once L rolls in a month or so, I think that should be taken care of.
Thanks a lot for the comprehensive reply. If there was one place I thought I'd be getting people telling me I should root and do this and that to the phone, XDA would be it, given the responses so far, I guess I'm better off just leaving well alone then? It's good that cerberus is hidden from the app drawer, but you just reminded me of the more important root required install to system app ability. I guess as long as my phone doesn't fall into the hands of a professional phone thief who can clear cerberus with ease, I might be ok though?
Everything else I'll hopefully get by with too, but I'd really prefer youtube without ads!
So given that I might just leave well alone and start using it... How can I just start fresh now? Maybe a factory reset (even though I haven't used the phone)... but what should be the first things I should install to allow me disable/remove all the bloatware and replace the home launcher etc? If anyone could give even a mini step by step it would be amazing!
There's hardly any bloatware. I suggest you use the phone as it is. Just install all the updates from update center and go on using. I'm sure you'll find the Sony launcher better than most other launchers. It grows on you
Sent from my Compact Beast The Third.
You really don't need to root this phone, the softwares are well written as not buggy, most apps these days world's well without much tweaking.
This is my first phony airport any urges to root.
Thanks again everyone!
I'm not sure I mentioned, or if it emulates from my posts, but I'm quite particular about the way I have it set up hence wanting to remove pretty much any app I don't use, I've been using ZEAM launcher for about 4 years on my current phone and previous. It hasn't been updated in about 2 years now, but as long as I can have the following I'll be ok:

What would be the best way to disable/delete/replace apps I wonder and how do you know what's safe to disable and what's not? Is it just a case of disabling everything or can you delete apps too? Anything else I should be aware of before I start the migrate?

It's meant to be a lot better, I haven't started using it, but size wise it's pretty much the same, you won't notice a difference using it or in your pocket lets say.
My razr has been slow too, but I think I'm just putting it through too much but other than that it's been a great phone.
I need a phone that can handle multi intensive apps running at the same time, maps, phone, music etc. I wouldn't think you'd be disappointed.

Hello LG G5 users , feel free to talk here about anything related to the LG G5 :good:
Thread Rules
1. Respect the others
2. This is an LG G5 thread , do not talk about any other LG phone here.
3. Use appropriate langage.
4. And of course , respect xda rules.
So what do you think about this LG phone ?
Hi guys , thread opened thanks to @KennyG123 , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.
I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.
Enjoy
This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.
@CorruptProfile Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.
How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?

I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to @Soufiansky so he can post them instead.

I came from the Nexus 6 as well and honestly I like the size of the G5 it is smaller but not too small in the hand where it feels like you are holding nothing.

What about the module thing ? I saw a lot of issues about it these days

I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.

No i was talking about the stock battery module , you haven't faced any issue ? Because some people were reporting bad screen colors reproduction next to the module , others said it started taking off....etc.
