Android wear 1.4 (6.0.1) update really makes the watch much smoother on my WI502Q - Asus ZenWatch 2

Apart from speaker support (502Q model does not have one), new 6.0.1 update brings lots of performance improvement over last 5.1.1 firmware. It does not unlock extra cores of cpu or boost clock or anything, but overall smoothness makes everything function better already.
It used to lag, freeze, miss my input attempt or even drop my swipe action and press random places where I did not intent to press. They are almost gone. I am not saying it is smooth as butter, but input mechanism and performance improvement is really visible.
Apart from that, nothing really changes in functional perspective. Little minor tweaks here and there, and that is it.
But I'm very happy indeed to have 6.0.1 on this watch and finally it is a pleasantly useful device to have on my wrist.
Good job, Google. Bad job Asus, not putting a speaker on smaller variant without mentioning it.
+ I didn't have a chance to test call control functions which did not work properly before on my Galaxy S5.

The same on my smartphone, MM running much better than LP.
I would be suprised if its different on the watch...

Sounds great. Quick question: does the Always On screen Option is still available?

Yes it is. I personally cannot imagine a smart watch without Always on option.

It's been rolling out for almost two days. But only for smaller variant WI502Q. Many of the users with WI502Q should have it by now. Hope there won't be too much delay for WI501Q update.

Scratch that! I got mine Friday... Battery life is freakishly better... Mine was charged Friday morning. Battery ran out Sunday afternoon with ambient mode on full time! Speaker is OK (not gonna use it so really don't care lol). Finner controls over permissions and DND mode was a good one too!

Looks to me that it's smoother because they slowed down the animations. Still takes a while to move around the menus, it just doesn't look as bad.
I get the same battery life as before. Ambient mode on, minimal FaceDesigner custom face. 100% in the morning, ends up at ~60% at bedtime.

Sorry misread, thought 1.6 (6.0.1 threw me off)

Is there a plan to make voice a two thing? It would be great if Google Now could respond in voice like on the phone. If it is currently possible to have a two way phone conversation, would it take much to get Google Now to do the same? Would be great or is this a thing that will be way in the future?

Hi!
From today I'm owner of ZenWatch WI502Q. I notice that you are talking here about ambient mode but 502Q model doesn't have ambient light sensor. How can you turn it on? There is no option for turning it on and I'm running latest update.

Aha. Thanks for answer.

Notification LED manipulation + performance question.

Hey guys.
I became a happy owner of an E5823.
Is there any info out there about performance differences between models? I mean, is it a lottery to get a badly performing model? (Mine lags sometimes)
Another question about the notification LED, is there any way of changing its colors depending on the type of notification and the frequency of it flashing? (like in the case of SGH-T699)
Greets
Yes, I use Light flow app.

If you root there's xposed modules for notification LEDs, I'm sure there are for unrooted as well. As for performance differences, they are all the same hardware as far as I know. Different displays for different regions as well as software but that should be where the differences end.

Hm... This is my second Z5 Compact (had to return last one - no screen protector when i oppened the box), I seems more choppy... Will investigate
EDIT:
Well, Im not sure what is going on, but eveytime i enter setting for the first time after unlocking, I get a slight lag/screen freeze for a split second. Any idea on that one?

Should i buy Le Max 2?

I'm using OPO for 2 years and counting . It's good phone to me but it seems old so i'm looking for new phone.
Le max 2 price in my contry is: 250$ for 4GB/32GB version. It sounds pretty cheap, isnt it? 250$ for brandnew phone, Snap 820, 4GB is quite interesting
My main usage is:
+ phone
+ social apps
+ phone call recorder app, voice memo
+ some small apps
+ and small game like slither.io,..
My OPO is very lightweight with Exodus rom, i wonder which rom to use with Le Max 2 to have same experience.
How about Lemax 2 battery, back camera and design. Please share your experience and suggestions!
up...........
no
its only $220 today in china.
http://m.gsmarena.com/leeco_le_max2_receives_price_cut_in_china-blog-20171.php
but without the sources its a dead phone on the next few months. hope they will release the sources.

220$ for snap 820, 2k screen,.. but bad support
Le Eco or LeTV (Whatever they want to call themselves today) can practically give this phone for free but still people, especially the developer community will not touch this phone.
Le is so protective of their custom EUI that they don't want enterprising modding community to make custom ROMs for it. If no one is interested in buying your products, then what is the use of trying to be Apple regarding their software?
BTW EUI is not perfect. It is pathetic unoptimized piece of turd and the less we talk about the random bugs the better.

so shouldnt buy it
If Sources are released then it'll be a beast,even then its a good device,No issues except fingerprint is little slow compared to others.Just bought a sealed packed in 14k in India & very happy
They will never release source, their whole company plan is to sell phones with no profit and instead earn money by the streaming function that is built in the rom.
This phone is really the cheapest high-end or close-to-high-end device, it outclasses the Zuk Z2 and Xiaomi Mi5 with its worldwide LTE support.
Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't making any profit, latest flagship phones always cost around $180.
It all depends on what you want. If you are simply looking for a phone at a good price, it is hard to beat this one. The biggest flaw of this phone is the fingerprint scanner. It isn't good. However, if your main goal is a phone that has continued software development, this probably isn't the phone for you. But if you're content with stock rims, this is a very good phone. It can do most everything you want.

I'm running stock China 17s no root, I've no problem with fpscanner it's blazing fast an misses 1/25, but no bugs whatsoever. I compare it to an IPhone, But for 1/3 of the price.
It's a brilliant phone. It takes some getting used to though. EUI is not the most amazing launcher but it runs smooth no lag. The specs are dope at an affordable price. So far I have a few things that I am not happy with in the stock ROM
1. The light sensor in direct sunlight, the colours get over saturated, the blacks become gray.. It's annoying. Hope they can fix that with an update.
2. Camera issues. Can not auto focus during video recording, and images are a bit over exposed in the sun. Average camera that's for sure.
3. Bloatware. A lot of Chinese apps that do not apply to users out of China, they are useless and take up unnecessary space and data.
And that's about all for now. If I could install custom recovery and could get a bug free MIUI 8, i would ditch EUI.
just got mine today, updated to latest 18s. I'm quite pleased but having notification problems when the phone has been in sleep for a while. I hope it's easily fixed, but disappointed the error is allowed to get through testing.
edit, correction 17s

I believe that the software is OK, simply you are too new on the forums and you don't know how to handle it. Please check topics about "notification problems" and you'll find the way to keep them from not cleaning while the phone is in sleep mode. The notifications are working fine.

Hello, i got mine last friday and i have eui version -> 5.8015S and i don't see any ota update, could you tell me where do you get that update, if you need to install any recovery, what are the steps to update this? I just know that power button and + vol i get EUI recovery and there is a option to flash a update.zip file

Any annoying software bugs? (Particularly UK users)

Hi guys and girls,
I'm looking at getting a new phone soon and my choices I've narrowed it down to, for different reasons, are these:
Google Pixel 2 XL - good battery life, great camera, pure android
OnePlus 5T - good battery life, good development scene
Huawei Mate 10 Pro - can get a good deal on it, great battery, great camera
Cons of the Mate 10 Pro all revolve around EMUI. Bugs/features I've heard about so far are these:
Non-push notifications not working
No notification drawer on lock screen
Quick reply actions etc not always working
These all seem really annoying and are things I wouldn't have a problem with on the Pixel 2. I could root, and install AOSP, but that would just have different bugs, and I'd lose the AI which is obviously a big feature of this phone, plus the camera quality would be lost.
So I'm looking for any users who have either had these issues fixed, or know workarounds, or have any other little bugs that I should know about.
Thanks

Its difficult to say, it seems like a simple fix for Huawei, so don't know why it's taken so long to sort out.

And that's the sort of thing I'm concerned about. They are a massive manufacturer and therefore you'd think that issues like this should be sorted at release. I understand that Oreo is still new and all manufacturers will have issues, but this would be my first Huawei phone and I'd like it to be in good shape! And a good experience.
Audio switches from bluetooth to loudspeaker after some time.
Call quality is very bad due to the AI chip.
Since these issues are there since release, I wouldn't recommend that you buy the Mate 10 Pro.
12 pages of bluetooth issues on German forums: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...0-pro-android-8-bluetooth-problem.853624.html
The two issues stopping me from buying this now are what I've heard that third party apps don't show notifications on the lockscreen always on display and the LED works spordically.
Pretty important that I know I have notification considering this is a communications device I would say.
Also there are reports about poor wifi and cell signal.

Mate 10 to receive 8.1, 960fps slowmo, GPU boost and more

For further details look here.
https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/06/13/huawei-announces-devices-getting-gpu-turbo-mate-10-to-get-960fps-slow-motion-too/
What do you think about that?
I'd love the speed boost but it sounds too good to be true. It will probably take until Android p ishere aswell... So long.
Very good news
This is GREAT news we'll have everything by October hopefully
I would like to know if this will improve battery life in any way as it promises more efficiency.
I actually congratulate Huawei as they have gone above and beyond what most manufacturers would do. Huawei has seriously stepped up their game in the industry. Soon they will be the new king of Android overtaking samsung

It is a future song while we are still waiting for updates to bring things like Night Mode, Face Unlock or VoLTE.... ALP-L29-C185...
i'm using 8.0.0.135(C636) build and Face unlock has been included. However with this build, it broke Google Assistant. You're unable to launch it via voice and that you have to launch int manually. GA on build 132 was working without any issue but the battery life sucks.
Isn't night mode equivalent to "eye comfort" option or is that different?

Note 9 Camera AI port

Hi there. Just would like to know your opinion...The Note 9 has the same camera as the S9+ with one key difference, the AI that automatically adjusts the camera to the correct scene mode(eg. taking a picture of food, automatically switches to food mode). My question is, will the S9+ perhaps get an update to have the same AI feature or will we need someone to port the camera from the Note 9?

Don't think so. AI Camera is the only difference between S9+ and N9 except SPen. So...
I hope an update will do the trick....otherwise I hope for the clever people to port the camera app
There is a discussion about this https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...iscussion-note9-ai-photography-to-s9-t3827193
But my personal opinion is that we won't get it. Note must be something more than S9+ so... The reason also that we did get android 8.1 was because they keeping it for Note.

For my taste the most stable version is 1.3.1-18_07_11_0926_15
I can't begin to express how much I love this browsers. It is fast, really really fast, like puffin fast. I don't know what you did but its too damn good. I have struggled to get a good browsers which linkoffers the perfect blend of speed adblocking and ui and kiwi provides just that. It didn't took 10 min to make me fall in love with it. The adblocking works as charm. I do have adaway for ads but the cosmetic filtering is what i wanted for ages. Really keep up the good work.
