Thanks for the review, however I can't watch the video because my workplace has blocked youtube. What is the overall verdict? Good or Bad? Also, is it waterproof?
I love the look of this watch.
thank you very much for the review, the truth that I like, you know any way I can upgrade to 4.3 to work with smarthpone.
thank you very much

Well its gotten wet in the rain so far withou any adverse effect... Not going to submerge in water tho lol..
Its lacking tru call handling and notifications support at the moment. Doesnt quite 'integrate' with my note 2 just yet (running 4.3)... But i can seemlessly send pictures, apps, video via Bluetooth consistently without any issues. Wifi works 110% perfect.
As a watch its great... Just added GO locker for more variety. Its def for those gadget geeks who are really good with this kind of stuff

have you tried paring bluetooth headset to it?
by "Its lacking tru call handling" do you mean that it is not capable of receiving and making calls?
Well the watch itself is a phone.. And this is how its recognized via bluetooth. U can do file transfer and stuff but it doesnt really interface with your primary smart phone.... I believe they are still working on the application to make this possible. They appear to be doing things a little backwards

Nice! Have you tried using the app tablet talk? I'm ordering one very soon. Also did yours come with the play store? If not I may have an idea to get it working.

Please take some shot with phone's camera and upload! I'd like to see the camera quality. Maybe video if it is possible. THX!
Can you tether it to a phone so you can use the phone's internet connection? This is something most smartwatches seem to be lacking, even though it should be included if the manufacturer doesn't mess with the software (i.e. removing that option intentionally)

I meant that it is lacking phone pair connectivity. Such as ; if you get a text the phone cannot notify you, or if you have a call coming in the watch will not notify you... this software doesn't exist yet. I have tried numerous apps on play store but no luck as of yet.

It's a 2 mega pixel camera... the quality isn't too bad overall... video quality is actually Very Good... i sent a video from the watch to my galaxy note 2 and the resolution was very surprising..... it was good. not too much distortion - The only thing is that the frame rate is less so you will noticing a little skipping vs a high quality galaxy note or s4 camera would take.. this is expected though.
Hey ,
Can you tell us if the watch has vibration?
Does it vibrate when you get a call or a sms/email?

I really appreciate the effort of this watch's Chinese manufacturer. IMO, this watch is even better than all of the so-called "smart watch" on the market at the moment :good: (edit: especially the Galaxy Gear)

I can't tell you about the call as I have not put a sim card in it yet, but It does have vibration capabilities as it vibrates when you turn off the watch. The vibration is nice and strong.
thank you very much , you just made my day
I have just ordered it from chinavasion and got me to 179 including dhl shipping
My next question is about the battery , how much would it last for a wifi video call for example?

On my watch, The battery does drain pretty fast and it runs very hot. I am not sure if others here have the same problem, but I am about to play around with a Governor app too see if I can improve battery life/cool it down.

Good question. If it does have 3G, anyone tried hotspoting it yet? Would be great to be able to have a wrist hotspot.
Be nice to know if this chip set has a GPS bc navigation would be great if it is supported too.

I haven't had time to work on windy in quite some time. I have had zero issues with audio stuttering myself, although I don't use my tablet that often these days. (Most of the time it serves as an alarm clock)
HDMI support has been missing on AOSP-derivative firmwares since 4.1 or 4.2 for pretty much all Qualcomm chipsets. It's something I've always wanted to take another crack at but - again, no time. Last time anyone touched it (Kondik back in early 2013 if I recall correctly) it seemed to be some oddball HDCP issue. It's been a flaw in all -caf display HAL variants for a long time. (For example, there was a brief period where mako was switched from AOSP display HALs to CAF display HALs - and SlimPort broke when this happened.)
?
Then i think, if we want Lollipop And HDMI we have to go back to original Sony ROM...
Not good....
Do you think, if there would be time, you could code a funktional HDMI ? You know what code is needed ?

If I have time, maybe. I have no idea what's needed, since I have no idea exactly why it's failing. If I knew exactly why it was failing it would likely not be difficult to fix.
What I do know is that everyone in CM seems to have also not bothered with it, as a decision was made back in the 4.2 or 4.3 days that HDMI was not a requirement for a device to receive M or Stable releases.

All i want is Camera API 2 support (3.0 + is already in development it seems!! I wouldn't feel if the camera doesn't support but its the same sensor as Nexus 5 (As some reviews say) and a software feature i wish Motorola includes in it or atleast some one from xda finds a way to enable it!!

Cool, well im not a big camera guy, quick snap here and there, otherwise i like the camera, what benefits does the new camera api bring in?
I just hope for a memory fix and the ui being smoothed out and less laggy...
Manual Controls!! I do like the simplicity of the Motorola Camera app but the Camera Sensor being the same as Nexus 5 would definitely improve with camera api 2.0 just check out some shots of N5 using camera api 2, especially low light. The camera of Moto G (2014) is amazing for its price except the software which limits it to great extent. Just wish Nokia makes an Camera App similar to its Windows Phone app with Camera api 2.0 support. Nokia Lumia 520 surprises me with its amazing camera performance while no phone is near in the same price range in android universe!!
Yes, it's true about our Moto G ship the same Nexus 5 camera sensor. The only difference is that Nexus 5 has OIS.
http://www.techspot.com/review/888-motorola-moto-g-2014/page3.html
The sensor + SoC support 1080p video recording, but it seems moto was lazy to develop the camera.
Can't we just borrow nexus 5 drivers????
Does anybody know if the Moto G 2nd gen will get an update to 5.1?
How likely do you think it is? I'm guessing the jump from 4.4 to 5.0 was not easy because drivers etc, but from 5.0 to 5.1 of your Motorola you don't have to worry about hardware problems so it should be a matter of weeks once 5.1 is official...?
What do you think. Quick OTA fix?

This is exactly what i thought. I had this doubt for a long time and i thought it'd be stupid to ask. Now that i know the sensors are same, library edits and media codec edits should bring 1080p recording to our phone. Any interested devs out there?
There must be some issues otherwise any dev could've already made it! I still have some hope that someone will find a way to enable camera api 2.0+ support so we could enjoy snapping with our Moto more! and Snapdragon 400 Soc does supports 1080p encoding and decoding and camera is capable of 1080p recording so it is possible with adequate dev support and kernel sources we may get!!
Speaking of ram management, I just read in a nexus 5 thread that it looks like it's been fixed and the device is working like a charm.
Surely, it's the nexus 5 we're talking about and it hasn't been a full day yet, but someone says the apps are opening/switching much faster and that launcher redraws have been non existent as of now.
Wonder how titan will deal with that. After all, the android one devices haven't really got impressive specs but they still seem to deliver quite well, right?
Ill try answering asap

Can you install Aida64 and post the codecs supported specifically the OMX.qcom.video.decoder Interested to see what hardware video codecs it supports. Hoping for h264, hevc, VC1, MPEG2 and more!

Captive.
OMG, I'm sold! I see h263/h264/hevc/MPEG4/DivX311/DivX4/DivX/MPEG2/VP8/VP9 for video codecs and AC3/EAC/Flac for audio codecs. This is perfect for my video codecs!
Now just need a reliable source to buy this from.
I ordered one of these from spemall.com last week, I wish they would hurry up and ship it. I don't remember seeing the fairly small "presale" text almost hidden on the product page now when I made the purchase. I hope they aren't holding back international purchases of this Chinese version for their international launch.
Thank you for the quick reply !
Good to now that "normal" 6/128gb version has the capacitive buttons.
On the codec side, good to see hevc, i just hope that they did use up to date one from dc so it supports 10 bits^^
Im not an audiophile, unfortunately, but I do appreciate a good sound quality as I have Sennheiser Wireless, and v-moda m100 and constantly listening to Dubstep\hardstyle\rock etc. I listened for a few minutes without to much equalizing and it sounds very good. Later I will root and install viper4android and hopefully it will work on marshmallow. My note5 didn't :\
How far is MiFavor UI 4.0 from AOSP visually and functionally? OK, I know that there is no original Gapps. But what about other functionalities? Does the phone have dialer which is close to android (Google) dialer or totally customized one? Does it support voice recording? Google contacts, if installed? Native sip (internet) calling? Thank you.

I am hoping that they have used the AOSP recent apps list and drop down quick settings rather than the way that MIUI and EUI do them.
If you have a Type-C -> hdmi/power in/usb A, could you give a try to that ?
As in, can you output to a screen through HDMI while charging and using a keyboard.
Cheers

Hmm. The chinese UI is very customized, I wanted to barf when I saw it the first time. Also because this is high configuration, its made of gold color, hardware and software. The notifications tray is actually nice, and after I nova prime the **** out of the phone , it looks great!
There are alot of functions, can't list them all, better watch youtube. But theres forcetouch(works very poorly, need software update), floating icon that can go back,take screen shot etc. You can have duplicate apps (wechat, whatsapp etc), voice activation and much more, I like it so far. Also for a full day not one force close.
Yes it supports voice recording (in dialer and regular).
No google what so ever, you can install seperatly though.
Don't think theres internet calling.

If the stock camera do not record videos in 4k it's impossible. It is a hardware fact lol.

I had the G2 as well,and that was a really big software modification for 4k to be enabled. We have no clue that the P9 Lite camera can even record 4k videos,the LG G2 was lucky enough to be equipped with a good camera which was weakened by LG on the software level.

The G2 was an epic phone
The sensor is compatible to 4k, the SoC isnt.
Isn't capable to record 4k even in 30fps and a lower bitrate?

Hi,
That might be possible with a little tweaking of the camerahal. The Honor 8 can do it and it has the same SoC, you might want to look at its camera hardware to check compatibility. It might be possible (if it has the same camera sensor) to take its camerahal to gain 60fps support.
Note: However, modifying the camerahal is not an easy task. It requires alot of effort to get everything working on custom roms. I cant tell you if its ever going to work on the stockrom, since theres obviously no source for that. But still, very unlikely.
Edit: I quickly checked the camerahal, it seems huawei is using a hybrid system between CameraHal1 & 2. This makes everything even more complicated. What throws me off is that devices that ship with marshmallow should be using CameraHal2 in order to match googles requirements for being allowed to ship with the google services.

I can not since i cant code, but in the past several developers and myself worked on the Galaxy S Plus aka i9001 or AriesVE and got the camera working after 7-8 months of hard work. As i said, its not an easy task.
