[Q] Port Android Wear to GV08?

Just wanted to know if Android Wear could be put on the GV08 smartwatch? The mediatek processor it uses is clocked between 500-800mhz and there are other watches that runAndroid with this processor in them. I've built roms from source but have yet to dabble in Android Wear stuff. Thanks!

There are no watches (or any other devices) that run Android using the MTK6260A processor. There are plenty of sellers on sites like Aliexpress and DHGate that claim the watches run Android...but, they all run Nucleus RTOS. The processor clocks at 360 mhz, not 500-800 mhz. The memory requirement is another issue. KitKat, which Wear is based off of (it's Android 4.4w), requires a minimum of 512 megs of RAM. The GV08 has 64 megs of RAM.
So, no. It's not feasible. Even getting something like Android 1.0 on there would be challenging and would require a development board.

Okay, thanks anyway . I only paid $35 for it so I'm not sweating it. Waiting eagerly on this LG G Watch R!! That's where the money is going!

I have a GV08s which is a nice smartwatch but it keeps disconnecting from my Galaxy Note 2 and will not keep a BT connecting. I also have a U8 which is not as nice, but connects without a problem. The problem appears to be with the GV08s...just not sure if it is this particular watch or if the GV08s has a problem...also I cannot change the weather to our local weather...nice screen, can see it in the sun and also the menus are great, just wish it would hold a BT connection.
Also, I checked the IC and it is a NS06272, I am not sure if this is partially compatible with Android, as I really like the functionality of the watch and would love to get something that is similar, but will stay connected to my Galaxy Note 2.

Can we port android wear to Fifine W9 smartwatch
Hello,
I came to this thread while searching for any method to port android wear to smartwatch running on android Kitkat Firmware. I have Fifine W9 android smartwatch , with KitKat 4.4 rom and 1 Gb ram.Its batterry is 400mah and processor is MTK 6572 .I rooted it using Kingo root.
I have these questions
1. How to install recovery
2. How to enter recovery
3. Is there anyway to port android wear firmware to it( instead of KitKat, I prefer android wear as many of the good applications and watch faces in the web is compatible with android wear)
Kindly help me

GAME CHANGER!! Better And Cheaper Than Moto G 2nd Gen ...

The other day I was cruising around amazon looking for an unlocked smartphone. I came across the BLU Studio X, the specs were striking similar to the Moto G 2nd gen with some better assets. With The Same 5.0" HD Display (720 x 1280) 294ppi, 8gb internal storage, 1gb of ram, 8mp primary camera [2mp front], and android lollipop. Also with some better assets like: a 1.3Ghz processor vs the 1.2Ghz processor on the G, expandable storage up to 64gb oppose to the 32gb limit on the G, 1080p video recording vs only 720p on The Moto G, 4G HSPA+ (Not Lte), Wi-Fi Direct, Dual Sim and a slightly lager battery of 2100 mAh for about $125 unlocked. But that's not even the phone I wanted to talk about. The real "game changer" here is the BLU Studio C 2015 Edition. Its pack the exact same punch as the BLU Studio X, but just at $99 Unlocked! Did I forget to mention that the BLU Studio C 2015 has a 3,000 mAh battery ?! It must be bulkier than the G right? Wrong! the BLU Studio C 2015 Is Only 9.4mm thick. 1.6 Thinner than the Moto G. Crazy right ? basically if your purchase this device you'll be getting a not-so-Motorola Moto G 2nd gen with slightly better perks and assests and a huge battery.
What am I losing?: The fact that its a Motorola (moto suite), dual front facing speakers, corning gorilla glass 3*, 1ppi
What am I gaining?: a 0.1 clock speed gain, up to 64gb expandable storage, dual sim, 1080p video recording, 4G HSPA+, Wi-Fi Direct, A 930 mAh battery gain, earphones, micro usb charging unit, free case,*comes with screen protector, phone comes in 6 different colors and $79 less you have to spend. ships with lollipop.note (the studio c 2015 has 293ppi)
Don't get me wrong I love the Moto series, but this phone really does put a road block in front of of the Moto G 2nd Gen.

Purchase the Studio C 2015 - http://www.amazon.com/BLU-5-0-Inch-...TF8&qid=1432047643&sr=8-1&keywords=B00WN7L4IA

And because of MTK you gain no updates ever.

Also mtk performance is lower than snapdragon.
About SD card I've use my transcend 64gb microsd in the moto g and works fine

Its an MTK device, you only will have luck with MTK if you buy an Android One. also the GPU is pretty bad.

I agree that the qualcomm s4 is better than the MTK

And 64gb sd-cards a well supported by the Moto G. I woudn´t want to change....

It seems to not available here in the Netherlands... Besides Motorola is a much better supported brand!

If you are talking about the processor, i was not saying that MTK6582 is has a bad performance, i believe it have the same performance as our Snapdragon 400, or close to it, a little less, can be. As for the GPU, Mali-400 is a pretty bad GPU today, if the site is right, its not even a Mali-400MP2 (the GPU used on the Galaxy S3), Mali-400 was the Galaxy S2 GPU, so its a 4 years old GPU. But i believe its a new version of this GPU, if its not, then its really bad.

Everybody disregard this thread. I purchased the Studio C and its absolutely terrible, its a bad phone overall. it feels extremely cheap. the screen touch isn't accurate. you can even see the layers within the display. this phone is a gimmick. it looks absolute great on paper for a budget smartphone, but doesn't meet the expectations at all. the only thing that is impressive is the 3,000 mAh battery. nothing else ... I would rather spend $79 more bucks for a phone inessentially the same specs besides the slightly better chipset than save $79 for a deceiving phone that is terrible. you Moto G owners made a great choice, its the best budget smartphone to date.

I've tried out similar devices. The lack of support due to the closed source chip sets is depressing. Always choose a device with open source and good support

@motoinspri
if you need better phone for the same price, look on Amazon Fire Phone ($179 on sale)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone

Gorilla glass 3 alone is worth the extra $ of the Moto G 2014, imo.

well if put like this,then there are a lot of phones with higher specs and low prices than moto
but the thing is that primarily we do not get any good support in lieu of software
build quality is mostly low and even problematic with hardware
So to say I'm happy with my little moto,its quality and devs here:good:

Avoid BLU!
I fell for a Blu phone, it was a Studio 5 I think. It was riddled with bugs and in a year there was not one update. Everyone was clamoring for the kit-kat update they had promised for the phone. The date came and went. Finally, the president of Blu said in an interview that if you want an update just buy a new phone. I bought the moto g and recycled the blu.

Mediatek?
No, thanks...

I went for a Blu Studio 5.5 last year to replace my windows work phone, support sucked never got the promised Kitkat update, replaced it with a moto g 2014 and never looked back and was one of the first devices to get lollipop.
You want an alternative to a moto G 2014? Buy an asus zenfone 2 for $199 and get way better specs than your blu phone and the moto g 2014 combined nuff said.

[Discussion] How does the OnePlus X compare to its main rivals?

By rivals, I mean devices (1) in the same size category (~5") and (2) in the same market class and/or spec range, such as:
Nexus 5X
HTC One A9
Motorola Moto G
Samsung Z3/J5/E5
What else?
In this thread, I'd like to avoid discussing larger phones (~5.5") or flagship devices that cost upwards of $400 (The HTC One A9 just squeaks in).
Speaking in broad strokes, given the specs and price it looks like the One X mops them all up in the spirit of the OnePlus One. The Motorola and the Samsungs are similarly priced but seriously lacking in specs. The Nexus 5X and HTC One A9 have equal or better specs, but cost quite a bit more. I'm trying to think of anything close to the value proposition of the X and I'm not coming up with much.
What say ye?

I think that Xiaomi Mi4C is pretty good competitor. Dimensions are almost the same. Mi4C has a bigger battery, a bit faster processor (SD808), usb type-C and IR blaster. However, OnePlus X has Amoled screen and sd-card slot (and 800Mhz LTE for EU users). I think that OnePlus X has also better OS and perharps longer update support.

Does it have to be a 2015 release? Expanding the base:
LG G2/Nexus 5: very similiar size + NFC + 32GB base but lacking sd expansion.
Xperia Z3 Compact: smaller screen + body with mostly similiar specs.
Galaxy S5 - ugly but is an otherwise functional phone at a good price

+1 I think former flagships are a great alternative, since most of them continue on to become great mid-range phones.
Unfortunately, the Nexus 5 isn't available new anymore, except for the occasional eBay auction.
The Xperia Z3 Compact clearly isn't a ~5" device.

LG G2/G3 can be considered as rivals too !

No LTE in USA!, fingerprint scanner, nfc, ois....what is oneplus thinking? With this trend of lacking necessary features and increasing prices, it's doubtful oneplus will ever be more than a small player.

i would say Mi 4C would be the main competitor, with SD808, Wifi AC, bigger battery, and IR Blaster in its favour
OPX has AMOLED, Metal build, and MicroSD in its favour though
i would say the bigger battery and Wifi AC will hurt the OPX more than the chipset difference, apparently SD808 and SD801 CPU performance is about the same, though Adreno 418 is about 20% better than 330, even though Adreno 330 is "enough" for 1080p screens (quotation bcz enough is very subjective)
I'm having a real struggle here :/

Mi4c is missing band 20 LTE which rules out O2 in the UK

It's missing the LTE bands 12 and 17, which means it's a lousy phone for 4G networks in USA. At this point, it's still a better deal overall to just get the old OPO in the USA.

What should I pick between one plus x and Moto x play, the price is almost the same. For performance the one plus should be better but the battery life on the x play should be amazing.. I don't know what to chose.

Plus x has SAMOLED , which is a strong point in itself. Also, SAMOLED means more battery life.

Oh that's right. However, I am on AT&T network, so I care only about the band 17 right now, which OnePlus One supports. Anyways, with crippled LTE band support, the X is kind of a lousy proposition IMHO.

In my opinion, the Asus Zenfone 2 and its derivatives is definitely a rival. My understanding is that the Intel-based Asus Zenfone 2 has very good SoC performance, probably above the Snapdragon 801, but below average battery life, screen brightness, and camera software. The Snapdragon 615 based Asus Zenfone 2 Laser has average SoC performance, but better battery life and better camera (screen is the same). Considering that both Zenfones start at $200 and have proper LTE support, they're definitely in the game. Moto G falls approximately into the same performance bracket at Zenfone 2 laser (actually slower a bit), but has class leading battery performance.
Another possibility, why not consider some of the discontinued Snapdragon 800/801 based smartphones? Considering the Snapdragon 808/810 fiasco, I think those are well worth checking out. For example you can find on eBay NEW and unlocked LG G2 (SD 800, no sd card) for around $160, Nexus 5 (SD800, no SD) for $180-200, LG G3 (SD 801, sd card) for $230, or Samsung Galaxy S5 (SD801, sd card) for just under $300. All of these roughly fall into the same performance bracket at OnePlus One/X, but offer specific versions with the LTE Band 17 used by AT&T in USA that the OnePlus X lacks.
And finally, speaking of Nexus 5X, early reviews suggest it's not all that great or the kind of a diamond in rough that Nexus 5 or OnePlus One used to be, in part thanks the slow storage performance because of the new encryption scheme and once again thanks to the SD808. Considering the price of the base Nexus 5X, I think you could do better with buying a OnePlus 2, which has all the same specs but more memory and slightly faster SoC.
Anandtech has a very thorough review of 5X:

I can attest to the Zenfone 2 Laser's battery life. It has an insane capacity! One of my friends just bought the ZF2 Laser, and he constantly gets around 9-10 hrs SoT. And it's not even as if he keeps the screen on doing nothing, he puts it through light to moderate usage - playing light games, browsing, whatsapp, etc with wi-fi on the whole day, but the damn thing just keeps on going!
As far as the performance is concerned, the SD410 is doing a very satisfactory job. So far I've not seen any slowdowns/lags/stuttering whatsoever. So its going pretty smooth as of now.

What about the Huawei Honor 7? It has similar specs and also the price is almost the same (at least in Europe - 270 EUR vs. 300 EUR).

While we compare, what is the software update record of Asus, Huawei, Acer etc? I think Oneplus is going to support their devices for longer than any of those

Currently have a Nexus 5, not sure if it was right to "upgrade". Damn I am gonna miss wireless charging

it is not "upgrade". it is a "sidegrade"

The yu yutopia when it releases with SD 810 at the price of ₹21,000 32gb

Stop suggesting 5.5 phablets. This thread is about 5 in Phones.

what is this??

As we've posted before, most heating is normal, as phones give off heat when using power or when charging.

Honestly, I don't think there's a problem. Newer phones, with more powerful processors and functions, running more demanding apps, run warmer than older models. We need to know the temperature of the phone that the user thinks is too hot to see if the phone is running within operating specifications.
People who change phones every year will probably not be surprised by today's warmer-running phones. People who have used the same phone for two years or more, probably will be.
And yes, warming is normal. But we want to help you get used to the way these newer phones run.

Hey guys,
First of all pardon me for the length of this post. I have been following this thread for almost 2 weeks now. And all the statements, made by the senior members/moderators of this forum have been to the same effect, most heating is normal. Infact, one of the senior members even went on to say that he/she would help us get used to the way these newer phones ran! So i decided to find out for myself if this is how the newer phones ran. And as some of our Indian friends blamed us of over-reacting, i also needed to find out, are we posting silly comments? Does motorola really know our problems and are we hindering their 'solution finding'? Lets find out...
Below is the list of some the branded phones in budget segment(except oneplus 3,which i will explain later y i included) that have released in the last one year or so. All these phones were tested by the same person(geekyranjit) under the same conditions. The test was to measure the temperature of these phones after gaming on them for 10-12 minutes. All the tests were done using the same games. Lets find out how normal is our phone compared to other newer phones..
Oneplus 3
Snapdragon 820(Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo)
Current price: ₹27999
Front: 42.0
Back : 41.6(went to 43 in asphalt 8)
Leeco/Letv le2
Snapdragon 652 (Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72)
Current price: ₹11999
Front: 40.1
Back : 40.5
Xiaomi redmi note 3
Snapdragon 650(Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & Dual-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72)
Current price: ₹11999(32 gb)
Front : 43.6
Back(Aluminium): 38.3
Moto G turbo
Snapdragon 615(Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53)

Back : 42.0
Lenovo K4 Note
Mediatek MT6753(Octa-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53)
Current price: ₹11999
Front : 43.3

Lenovo Zuk z1
Snapdragon 801(Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400)
Current price: ₹13499
Front 43.5
Back 44.3
Lenovo Moto g4 plus
Snapdragon 617(Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53)
Current price: ₹14999
Front 45.5(paticularly hot at top)
Back 44.2
Ash from c4etech got 48.6 degree at front top after 30 minutes of gaming. Abhinav from phonebunch got 47.1 degree in the front and 50.3 degree at the back while gaming for 15 minutes without an AC on but in indoor conditions.
Please Note:
All the tests are done indoors under an AC with an ambient temperature of 27-28 degrees, unless specified otherwise. So heatwave has nothing to do with these temperatures.(Not getting personal, just clarifying)
One plus 3 does not fall under the 'budget' smartphone category but i included it in the list because it uses the latest and the most powerful chipset in the midrange smartphone segment. So if such heat was normal in today's faster processors, this phone should exhibit the most heat.
Conclusion:
All Lenovo phones heat quite a bit more than the other smartphones in this category and that is why probably moderators think that such heat is normal. But no branded phone heats as much as moto g4 plus, not even lenovo's other devices in this segment. So how many of u guys think that this is all normal? Except for oneplus 3 every phone in this list is cheaper than moto g4 plus and most of them have almost the same specs. Do u still think that we are over-reacting and everything is normal with this phone?
and yes they give quick charge 1.0??**** moto

yeah this phone has heating issue, I think the main reason is processor, any intensive processor using apps will heat it up quickly, in 10 minutes and I don't think this could be solved with software update, this is bad because it will lower the life of phone, so in my opinion if you haven't got this phone yet, don't buy it, get redmi note 3 3gb ram instead

i already got it just today but i am normal user...fb whatsapp and coc just

I tested with 'Made In China' and 'Made in India' g4+....quite obviously Indian Device is getting more warmer in less time and even Display is not bright enough when compared to Chinese(Original).
What I'm trying to say is people I saw who are worrying too much about the heating issue are owners of "Made in India". Mine is working fine after the Initial update but getting little warmer after playing too much(I play Nova, asphalt) but I can live with this..
So check your device manufacturer .. and I can say if you bought recently(and got USB charger) then it is Indian and If you purchased at earlier it is Chinese
PS: Mine is chinese..not Indian (check your device box for Name of Manufacturer to know)

Bro mine is a chinese one ....... But have found the reason for overheating during turbo charging......... Check out my thread

And ya over heating upto 45°C is just fine its some thing thats common between my
octacore,3gbram moto g4+
Quadcore,1gb ram sony xperia e3d2212
And quadcore,also 1gb ram hp 7 voicetab.......
Its pretty much common in evryphone now a days
But would like to mention something that i had experienced with my xperia e3
Its that after i rooted it and got rid of a few actually a lot of system apps i dint notice overheating in it evn while playing games like MC4 for almost 3hours continuously with my charger plugged it......
In case of moto g4+ therz no bloatware too(very very less bloatware)so it just might be the chance of over usage...etc....apart from the time of gaming and turbo charging i dont really think the phone heats up to a level that u would have to worry(like 3g all day long with whatsapp snapchat and instagram running all day long)......

wanted to know

Moto G3 to Moto X Style... Battery WTF !

Ok I just two days ago buy a brand new Moto X Style, my beloved MotoG3 who was root and run with Tesla rom + FireKernel who have a smaller and older battery is consumed so less battery ! It's just insane.
Moto X Style is heating battery like nothing.
I usually wait at least 2 month to be sure the phone I buy don't have trouble, but right now I just want to unlock it and install a real rom....
What do you think ?!

@Vink67 from what I've heard stock moto ROM offers better battery life than any custom.

Thanks to the QuadHD 5.7" display and 64bit processor. Moto X style do have a mediocre battery. But the TurboPower charger makes up for it.
Apart from battery, am sure you gonna love this phone.

I have a Moto G3 was well, it is very efficient with battery life. You do have to think though, you are going from a Snapdragon 410 to an 808 with a larger, higher resolution display.
The 808 has 6 cores instead of 4 and a much more powerful GPU. The 808 is also the big.LITTLE configuration. So you have 4 low power A53 cores and 2 powerful (battery consuming) A57 cores. The difference in power between the two chipsets is immense.

I have used CM (then LineageOS), and AICP. They can offer some improvements in battery, but I am holding out for official Nougat. I don't find any of the custom ROMs to be as fluid and smooth as stock, so that is what I am using.

Ok thx

I went from a Moto G 2015 to a Moto X Pure (North American version of Style) and that is my only real complaint... the battery life easily cut in half or more. Although some of the reasons for it are listed in previous posts, one is missing, the SD808 SOC's radio is a battery hog especially when signal is not optimal, a mediocre connection will kill your battery especially if you actually make or receive calls, but if you have great signal then it sips battery very efficiently.
The main battery drainers are the 5.7 QHD Super LCD display (this display panel is incredibly inefficient, but beautiful), the SD808's radio, the SD808's architecture (2+4 big.LITTLE setup in this chipset is much less efficient than anticipated, probably why the configuration was dropped), and the poor battery size choice (it should have been 20-33% larger) makes this device seem like a terrible "upgrade" to the Moto G, battery-wise at least, and in that regard it is correct.
But the very things that draw battery are it's strengths... the display is gorgeous, it can be seen clearly in full daylight and is incredibly vibrant and sharp, and side-by-side to the Moto G 2015 it makes it's little brother's display look like an old 20" tube TV vs a 55" 4k UltraHD display. The SOC may not be very battery friendly, but it is much more powerful and it's reception is excellent, even with poor signal it will hold service well, at the cost of battery life (note that Moto did NOT implement Jio VoLTE in this device, and will not, a significant letdown since it is working on similar Moto devices of that generation), and the QuickCharge 2.0 will refill the battery very quickly, around 75-90% in an hour if necessary.
It's kind of like comparing a Chevy Cruze to a Corvette, one is simple, reliable, and very fuel friendly, the other is a performance machine which sucks gas like nobodies business... but they are for different purposes entirely.
As far as custom ROMs go, I have not found one that gives better than near equal to stock... After trying a dozen or so ROMs and kernels, I went back to pure, unrooted, stock and haven't looked back in a few months. It isn't ideal, but until I can get a better all around device it will have to do.

It's been 3 days now I test SlimRom 6.0.1 Build 2 Stable version, the official release on SlimRom.org, not the beta one from a developer in XDA.
And I would say for now it's been pretty good, and better than original ROM.
More battery friendly.
