hi guys.I recently watched moto 360 video, and watch faces arr amazing.Is it possible to install watch faces for cheap smartwatches?And is it works properly like moto 360?
If the watch is Android based you can do it using WatchMaker Live Wallpaper. Not ideal as the face is your wallpaper (battery hog) but it does work. Even then you are still looking at the $100 range for a watch, which makes an original LG or Asus Zen watch look like a pretty good deal.

The screen resolution for the gpad is 1920x1200. Any wallpaper this size will fit perfectly. There are also a lot of apps that let you download and setup wallpapers.

Yeah, trouble is a lot of wallpapers usually found is made with the proportions in reverse. So basically a 1080p wallpaper wouldn't be enough! We lack right around 900 pixels on the long end. You would need to find a site that offers highres, above 1080p images as wallpapers. I'll see if I can find a few when I get home.
On the other hand, if you were to use the tablet mostly in landscape mode, a cut og a 1080p desktop wallpaper would look crisp..

Hey, I don't have the Note 4 yet, but really interested simply for the Gear VR.
My main concern is, is the resolution enough to comfortably (and enjoyably) watch a full HD movie on it?
Any thoughts? I am actually dying to know (without making an expensive mistake of course)!
Thanks.
not worth it. best to wait until we get actual decent 3D goggles with high res screens for each eye.
the only good experience ive had with 3D was with two 4K high res projectors with horizontal+vertical polarization and polarized glasses. worked extremely well.
It depends what you expect. Resolution is about 720p. If you into watching movies or technology lover then is a must. Otherwise you can live without. I got mine and I like it. For a long time we cant expect product what will satisfy everyone.

Hey! that's an entirely different technology and an unfair comparison! right? that's not immersive 3D.

That's true, but can you comfortably watch an entire movie; does it feel as comfortable as watching a 720p movie on YouTube, or are you bothered by the pixels?
For me is ok. I can watch whole movie laying in bed and looking at the ceiling. Pixels, hmm if you think about them and concentrate on them, then they are there. If you into movie then they are gone. You need to realize that picture bever going to be perfectly sharp but that is the way how optics work. Phone is only about 1.5" from the face.

The Gear VR does indeed come with an adjustment dial; however, I just leave it on the setting closest to my face because that seems to be the best setting [for me].

Although everyone's experience it different, I do not have an issue watching an entire [3D] movie with the Gear on. Is it the most comfortable thing though? Probably not :silly: The pixel issue or screen door effect (or whatever it's called) is definitely there and I won't deny that, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest unless I intentionally look for them pixels

Personally, I think the $200 price tag is nothing for someone who can afford a Note 4.
Think of it like this: $200 for a full 360 degree experience with games and a cinema mode that mimics a screen size that feels larger than anything that can fit in a typical house.
In the end, the decision will be entirely yours.
Have u tried Google cardboard? There are quite a few apps that support it. You can watch 3d trailer from YouTube. The effect is quite good. However, you still able to see pixels on note 4. I guess gear vr will be the same

I actually installed google carboard app on my note and use it with gear vr. It is not the same. Google carboard experience makes me feel like im ready to throw up while oculus app gives very smooth experience i can enjoy for hours. Gear vr has gyro build in and being used by oculus app while carboard relies on phone sensors.

This is an interesting discussion - I am not pixel hungry and I will not go hunting for pixels, however, I want to experience an immersive 3D movie or a 'cinema like effect' when watching a 2D video.
e.g. we can comfortably watch a movie on any laptop reasonably from a distance of 1/2 a meter, providing the experience compares to this, I think it would be ok.
I guess what we have to think about is, its not just the screen thats 1.5" from your eyes, the screen is also somewhat magnified which will add to pixel visiblity.
Its a shame there is no where to try out the Gear VR... I guess thats the only way of knowing for your self and being satisfied. Its expensive overall, for a relatively new craze.

There are several different viewing modes when viewing movies with the VR Cinema, including one that is a virtual movie theater - this is the mode I use when viewing 3D movies because I feel the virtual environment tricks me into believing there is depth.
& I would much rather view movies with the Gear VR, assuming that the video is of high quality.

There are Samsung stores that allow you to test out the Gear VR? I did not even know of their existence until recently stumbling upon an article about it. Not sure if we have any in America S:

Thats quite encouraging to hear that you would prefer to view on Gear VR ... I presume compared to laptop/pc monitor?
I hadnt considered the Samsung Store ... they are called Experience stores, I am based in the UK and there's one close to me, I will have to call in.

Pretty much, yeah S:
I can't afford those crazy expensive TV's that cost several thousand dollars * -* So this seemed to be the best option If you're rich and have like some ridiculous theater room though, this probably wouldn't be as impressive XD for movies at least
& nice! I'm sure you will enjoy it :good:
Hi all,
I've just finished my review of the No.1 G2 Smartwatch. I found it to be a pretty impressive smartwatch overall. I loved the fact that it supported both iOS and Android. Whilst all the call features and notifications worked across both platforms, Android was clearly far better integrated, with notifications having app icons, you are able to respond to messages straight from the watch, etc.
Most features worked really well. However, the heartrate monitor seemed inaccurate and I couldn't get the IR Remote feature to work.
The included camera is pretty average and more of a novelty than anything else. I've embedded a sample video recording below:
The build quality is excellent and feels much more premium when compared to the similarly priced Pebble.
If you're wanting to start playing with wearables, I have to say its a pretty cheap way to get a cool new toy at under $80.
Check out the detailed review for plenty more information and photos: http://hometheatrelife.com/no-1-g2-smartwatch-review/
Thanks to GearBest for providing me the Stainless Steel variant to review. You can purchase it from them here.

Thank you DarkscytheX,
Is it possible to change the wallpaper on the watch, not the clock face but the background for settings and menus. In some of the pictures for the No.1 G2, the menu has a blue background but i can't seem to figure out how to change it.
It's not possible to change the wallpaper to a custom image however, if you go into Settings>Display there is an option to change the wallpaper to 1 of 3 pre installed options
As they write on LG Web site it VR set is only compatible with G5 but did any one tried it on V20 ? One of my friends is selling his 360VR and I'm planning to buy a V20 when it arrives to my country. It's good to have a VR set ready
up, anyone ?
I would like to know this aswell.
Anyone?

isnt the lg 360vr compatible with other phones besides the G5? you would think so. I think VR is still a year away anywhere on phones. Everyone is going crazy over the daydream vr, but why? what games are even out for it? Just looks like a bunch of "tech demos" to me so far. I wouldnt stress over it till its established and theres actually games for it.
The VR experience on a phone with LCD screen and its slow refresh rate is far inferior compared to Amoled screens. I would not bother with VR on the V20. On the Samsung S7 edge and note, I did enjoy VR. Tried it on the HTC 10 with LCD and the experience was dismal.

maybe, but the LG 360 VR does not use the phone as screen, it has 2 built in screen for each eye, that why its connected via usb type c conector to the phone.
and the answer is yes, it's compatible, but you have to download the software from playstore LG friends manager and LG 360 VR manager

Yesterday I bought a 360 VR (LG-R100). no apps, no market, no games just able to play 3d videos, some tech demos. No support for cardboard apps, no support daydream apps. out of focus with low resolution. Just don't buy...
So I see this has not been commented on in over a year. I just received the LG 360 VR and the quality of the glasses is not as bad as reviews state.. Although when using on my V20, the head tracking does not work and one side of the on screen display is upside down. I have read that these glasses are compatible with the v20 but has anyone gotten them to work properly?

So just uninstall Google VR Services and works fine. There are alot of negative reviews but really quality not very bad. Bad support and software, pretty good hardware. Gonna try and get more things to run. Hopefully can.

Can anyone name an #AndroidWear Smartwatch that you can swim with and has a continuous heartrate monitor?
(Not the ugly Polar M600 which isn't continuous unlike other watches.)
Thanks!!
A smartwatch that you can swim with... Good luck finding one. I was waiting 3 years until something like M600 appeared. As it the closest to a training watch + smartwatch.. Because until then I had to use 2 watches (was using polar ft80 for training + gear live for everyday use).
At the moment I'm using M600 and yes it's bulk watch but this is a watch to train with not to fashion with it.. I still wear it everyday with suit and I personally dont care of it looks good or bad. I have classic watches if I want to wear fancy.
I'm not quite getting the heart rate continuous you mean... M600 on training mode has obviously continuos hear rate measurement. You dont have any watch in the market that makes continuous heart rate measurement during all day long.. That Would be unbearable battery wise. You have app however that provide periodic heart rate measurement for all day in 1h to 6h intervals hear rate measurement and they work well. Inalso use this apps.
I already send my feedback to polar dev team for that periodic heart rate measurement and they looked like they heard my feedback for future dev.
Also m600 pairs too with the sleep for Android accelerometer and barely spends battery (10% overnight)
Honestly I'm happy with m600. I use screen off and no tilt, and on average watch need a recharge each 3 days (with 4 training session week and wearing it 24h)
Maybe the Nixon watch?

Maybe it would work but the Sport is IP68 rated. Not necessarily meant for swimming. The manual for the Sport says "do not swim while wearing this product". http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-watch-sport-style-user-manuals-747718/
