Now that more people have the Samsung Gear S what bluetooth Headphones are you using/have you tried?
I myself have the LG Tone Plus. they are cool and all but I might want to upgrade to the LG Ultra/Infinity. The gear circle seems to me like the LG brand just with Samsung name on it. So what do you have or what will you get?

Have to second that on these head phones. I even go running in the rain with them and amazing battery life.
I hope we can find some reviews on the Gear Circle. I also wanted to get the jbirds and everyone i know loves them for portable headphones. but I like the idea of the gear circle being that you can hang it around your neck when you dont need it. Its more of an all day long device like the LG tones are. If only i did not lose my lg tones.

I have used SlingMobile in my last four phones (TouchPro, TouchPro 2, DroidX, Rezound) and the app really kicks major butt in the Rezound using 4g.
I have the newest HD Slingbox and with 4g service the picture is outstanding.
I have two different inputs I can select from, standard cable and an HD cable box. If I use the standard cable input, a viewer at home can be watching a different channel than I am watching but the picture is lower quality.
I even get perfect TV reception while driving down the road in my truck. My Wife watched a movie in HD HBO on demand while we drove on a 3 hour trip last week.

I have never used anywhere near the amount of data that a lot of the posters here use every month.
Last month, I used less than 4 gigs so I would have been fine even on my Wife's 4gig tiered plan.
I don't believe data hogs are what caused tiered data anyway, I attribute it to Verizons greed.

By the way, I have had unlimited data since the first day it was available years ago and I also have the unlimited 4g hot spot so you can KMA with that attitude........

seemed like you were being a jackass to me.
He's using the data on his smartphone with an app he purchased. He's not running a whole home network, which are the people that are abusing the data.
As for the slingbox, I got one last xmas, it died in march, 92 days after I activated it. Contacted sling, they told me they couldn't give me any tech support without either paying 30 bucks up front or adding the extended warranty for 50 bucks. Horrible customer service in my opinion.
I can say, that when it worked, it was great, never had any problems with it. But the fact that it only worked for 3 months is what was bad. If you get it, get the warranty. Just consider it part of the purchase price.
As a side note, with mine (the base model), it took over the dvr, so if someone was watching tv at home, if I changed the channel, they would have it changed as well. Works for me because I work nights.

If you don't want that to happen, you need a Slingbox with an internal tuner like the SB Pro or SB Pro HD.

don't think I'm going to fix it. CS has been bad and not sure I'll use it enough to warrant another 50bucks for the extended warranty.

Something else you can try (I use it for netflix because we dont have tv) is to run an hdmi cable from your comp to your tv and you will be able to watch whatever is running on your comp.
Slingbox has had big problems with defective equipment. It is much easier and cheaper to look up their problems online and and fix it yourself or have a local electronics shop do it for you. There are online instructions to do this. I bought the parts I needed at radio shack and did it myself.

this and their customer service is ATROCIOUS....i dont think they care since Dish or whoever bought them...they wanted 100 bux to fix, after i spent 20 bux on a power adapter that wasnt the problem, and then if it broke after 90 days i was back to 100 again...and this was all 3 days after the warranty i bought expired...seriously...
so i researched and bought a brand new vulkano for 100 bux...works and is simply awesome as sling will not be getting another dollar from me...
just reminded still have to try the mobile app for vulkano...

Get a mophie or some other wireless charging/extra battery case for it.. it'll obviously definitely add to the size/weight of the phone tho over a standard case.. I wouldn't get the cheap chinese one's off ebay tho, horrible things that don't last long at all.

Yeah ive tried 2-3 different Chinese ones, although admittingly they were for my iPhone and not the HTC one. They were great for the first month or two and then and then they all started having issues. 1 would fail to charge ever again regardless of charger, another failed to hold a charge for longer than ~4hrs, another would constantly cycle charging on/off while switched on and trying trying to charge the phone. Just had a bad experience overall and waiting a month+ for RMA is a bit much. Much better to get a legit one for these reasons at a place where you can RMA in your own country if you ever need it.

Hi!
A Local is selling the Smartwatch 1, he claims is new, and is asking $60 so I will offer $50 if you guys think is still worth it.
I am doing some research on it but since usually reviews are from the original time it came out and things are fixed later one...so i am looking for more recent experiences.
Thanks!
Honestly, I'd go for it - why not! Aside from a few reported issues with UI lag and general fragmentation/inconsistencies between apps, at $50, it makes for a great little tinker device, even if you do eventually end up throwing it in the drawer a few months down the track!
Best of luck
I saw a review made not that long ago in July 2013 so I hope it shows the latest updates and I actually liked what I saw!
It will be a good way to see if I like that concept before spending a lot more on SW2
$50 isn't much for a "smart"watch, so I'd go for it. And like Supjackary says, it's a great little gizmo that you can tinker with. Maybe root it, install Omni and play SimCity on it. Or not, but in the worst case scenario, you've paid 50 bucks for a watch. Still worth it.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Cool. I am getting it tomorrow!
I do have a concern...battery life...is it going to drain the phone battery quickly? I read that it does not even show a clock without being connected so that means and always connected bluetooth to work.
I just checked. It has Bluetooth 3.0, and what we want is 4.0 (BLE or Bluetooth Low Energy). That might be a problem
Sony says the SW will last you 1 week with light usage, 3-4 days with medium usage and 1 day with heavy usage. I'm not sure what the differences are? Is light usage to get five notifications and heavy usage is getting 8? I have no idea
Either way, your Ultra will probably notice a small drop in battery, but I don't know how much.

It is not a great watch... SMARTWATCH2 is a killer one though, but expensive
He decided not to sell it now but I saw him post version 2 for sale..asking 160...will try to lowball him to see if I get lucky lol
He will take $120 for the SW 2 or I can get the one used for $60...decisions decisions...

Hmm, i have no idea If you have some money to spare, then i can't see why you couldn't get the SW 2. The SW 2 also has Bluetooth LE, plus i guess there's more activity around it, i.e more apps on the Play Store and i guess it'll probably receive an update or two in the future.
But again, i really don't know I guess you'll have to get the one you want

Huh, i just noticed that the Sony Smart Watch has its own section.
I guess by default this is
Some key questions:
-Release date? Mid July is my guess.
-2/16 model or 3/32? Hoping the 3/32, or no buy.
-Wireless charging? Might be a separate purchase.
-Colors? I prefer black or gray.
-Will it be rootable? The Korean model roots easily, but VZW might have that "patched".
Then change the title and make it for us.
Hopefully they bring it real soon. Verizon is really slow in releasing new phones.

I was initially interested in wireless charging my G2 when I first got it. But then I found out how excellent the battery is on it and I have NO trouble plugging it in overnight - the only time I've ever had to worry about charging it, and even if I forgot, I still have had at least 30% of a battery to start the next day.
As always, YMMV.

How have you implemented wireless charging? I'm curious to get a phone with it but I haven't thought of any very useful implementations of it.
I bought the HTC One Max a couple days ago and I'm not a fan. My Note 2 had a home button, along with back and menu keys. Now I have to wake my One with the power button and if I use a custom launcher like Apex, I have no access to "recent apps" unless I configure the home key to use that. The camera is feature rich, but only 4 mp, but battery life is excellent as is the sound from the front-facing speakers. I also miss my email widget (although a custom rom would fix some of these complaints).
The knock to wake and a full set of softkeys on the G3, along with the laser camera look like compelling features to me. Even tho I have a case and holster (Amazon), I think I'll probably return my One.

It's not abuse, he just happens to be a heavy user. The justification networks use for implementing data caps is completely fabricated. Many people with the technical knowledge have commented on this. Data caps are just another revenue source for network operators, same goes for ISPs as well.
Walked into Rogers Corp store in Montreal today and bought outright. No pre-order.
I've set my device up. Took an update on first install (prob same at T-Mobile update)?
I've gotten Rogers Wi-Fi calling to work (though I have an annoying persistent Wi-Fi calling notification in Status Bar that I can't seem to eliminate even though I've silenced that notification).
Feel free to ask questions specific to Rogers here.

I'm pretty concerned about the battery life as well. Been using my Rogers G6 for about a week and have to say the standby time is absolutely horrid, probably as bad as my G5. Other than the battery life, i have to say that i love this phone!
I think mine's going back. Battery life is < 8 hours with same usage pattern (exactly) as my S7e, which can last 15hrs on just 300mAh more. Something's wrong. I don't have experience with SD821 devices but based on some benchmarks, the Pixel XL looks like it lasts almost as long as the S7e.
It seems that Rogers permits "exchanges" up to 2 weeks - what if I want to take a credit on another device (I don't think it's my individual unit so don't want to bother with another one)?
I packaged it up to return it...Rogers F****Ed me off, too bad....Not our problem. Figured I would sell it, so did a factory reset and then decide to give it one more go. This time I didn't use the Google "move from another device" (don't know actual name) but rather manually reinstalled my apps (painful...). Much better results today (tho no phone calls as it's the weekend). I'm at 8hrs off battery, 2hrs SOT and still above 50% battery. Will see what happens Monday.
Hey everyone, just got that phone for free from rogers (Was 400$ but bring my Samsung Galaxy Alpha and they removed the 400$, can't belive it! Even the clerk was like "what? We do give something for that junk, and that much???"). I have a question though. How do we get the app drawer back? I've checked everywhere and all I see is go into settings, display, home then select home and app drawer. But I don't have that. I only have "Home" and "Easy home".
Thanks
Got a videotron version here...battery life is awesome in my case, standby is great.
Im still at the same charge from yesterday noon with regular use and minor gaming...still at 67%

In home settings you dont have select home ? Then home and app drawer?
Got the phone from Fido, unlocked, now using with Rogers. Only 2 days old but battery life is good so far, approx 50% after a moderate day of use.
For homescreen, I had to download an app from LG called "home + app drawer," before that I only had Home and Easy Home as options.

Just download the pixel launcher
Does the Rogers G6 have any Rogers branding in the software when it boots up? Considering getting an unlocked Rogers G6 off of Craigslist to use on AT&T.
