Looks nice. But kinda odd (and not sure I like it) to have a speaker slide out like that.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/24/exclusive-htcs-windows-phone-7-equipped-t8788-breaks-cover-for/

Yep looks good. Hope all the new HTC Codename phones fall under similar looks/features.
A comment in the engadget forum has 1 guy say he personally knows the phone slides both ways. Hmm.
If it does I Just hope its a nice mechanical/spring slide action that keeps the phone solid when your not sliding it around.
Overall though it would be a bit bigger version of my TP2 which I love.

I like the front facing speaker. Lately I've been playing more Scumm games (Broken Sword 2 atm) on my phone, and sometimes when there's alot of ambient noise, I have to flip my phone around to really hear what's being said without listening intently or put my headphones on. So this would actually be good for gaming, if it slid out the rest of the way to show a game pad I'll be breaking contract .

I'm not too excited about the slide-out speaker feature. As long as a phone has a 3.5mm jack and a decently loud speaker phone, I'm happy. I wouldn't want to go too crazy over builtin speakers.

say hate to state the obvious but this is implementation of the new htc slider mechanism htc patented recently
not bad

I say slide it out the other way to reveal a full qwerty and this thing would be a beast. But sadly it's just a speaker.

This phone DOES NOT slide both ways... for a fact. It slides only that way (as shown in the picture) and only that far... It also has a kickstand that comes out so that when you stand the phone up the speaker is at the top.
All metal (black metal) very heavy and solid feeling... Also, screen size looked to be about 4-4.1"
Saw it/played with it on Sunday night

lets hope for all hd2 owners that this phone has the same hardware specs as the hd2 (easier to port wp7 on hd2 )
and let us all non hd2 owners hope it has a dual core and loads of ram/rom usb3 ,64GB build in ssd .

That's one thing that's great. The manufacturer and carrier aren't allowed to bog the phones down with crap.

I believe MS mandated that only 6 custom vendor apps can be sent out with the phone, and anything they put on has to be uninstallable.

Meh, to hell with extra bulk from speaker I don't use for anything but ringing.
Never thought I'd say this, but my next phone will most probably not be from HTC. This is such a useless gimmick.

They can add apps/hubs.
I know many will disagree with this but we have to go off the basis that the built-in functions of WP7 are much better than anything an OEM could do. We shouldn't want/allow them to change it just for the sake of differentiation. It's my impression (not having used any of them for any length of time) that this is true on Android for all with the possible exception of HTC Sense; even then many would say the stock Android UI is just fine. HTC Sense, espeically for WinMo, is horribly written. I think it's wise for us to let the software company do the software and the hardware company do the hardware.
So even though they can't modify for the sake of modifying, there's a good bit of opportunity for them to add on. HTC will be doing some sort of 'Sense' for WP7 which will (just guessing) probably be in the form of a hub with several apps such as weather, stocks, footprints, etc. Carriers will have branding opportunities as well (Telstra showed off theirs recently).
But this all still ignoring the question of do users really care? I have never once seen the home screen addons become a deciding factor in what phone a user purchases (both in 'real life' and on a non-phone forum where phones often come up that I'm on). It's always just:
1. carrier
2. hardware features (size, keyboard, screen being the main ones)
3. Price
It really seems like wasted money on the part of the OEMs.

How about making great devices without this niche teenager crap?

for a pop out speaker, I would have high expectations for the sound on that. It better be very impressive and with plenty of bass.....

well to tell you the truth, this isn't the first time that we are seeing the device with speaker slideout. For instance, Samsung mp3 players had this. they were k5 and s5. It wasn't a really hit for somereason but yea on the phone, this is the first time ever. But i do like the formfactor but i am not sure about sliding speaker. I dont listen to musics with my phone, so it won't be necessary for me. Also i would like to see how the battery performs when the slide is out to the side. hmmm... it should be great for speaker call and gps sysem!

Defy earpiece begining to fail (T-mobile US)

My speaker just started to fail. I recieved a call and it wouldent work period. I just assumed a bad connection. I tried making a call later, and I figured that it might be the ear speaker so I tried gently pushing on the top left corner like if read people doing, and well, it began working. it would cut in and out, but it was obvious there was a problem. I tried the speakerphone and it worked perfectly fine.
Anyone else in the states have a problem with their defy. any suggestions. Im really happy with the phone, but this cant continue. it hasn't even been two weeks!!!

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/306104#306104
many people have the same prob
what‘s your msn code？ from msn code, you can know the production date

So far it is less prevalent in the states. If you go on the T-Mo Defy site, or the US Defy site at Motorola you'll see some, but if you go to the non-US site on Motorola there are a lot. No one's sure iof it's a software or hardware issue. Some have (temporaitly) restored their speaker by messing around with the "Voice Quality" settings.

i think i've read somewhere that moto had admitted it was a manufacture defect..

I've got this problem (UK) and I'm not happy, I've already replaced one because of a dead pixel, from what I've read people aren't certain whether it's a hardware or software problem. I'm guessing hardware though.

This morning my handset speaker went silent after about a month of owning the device. I'm in US, and I never used headphones. Cold booting, nor playing with the voice quality settings made any difference, the handset speaker is really a goner.

Yup. No one seems to have a cause yet. Still it seems far less common in the US. I found this post from the US Motorola forum from a T-Mo salesperson:
"I have only had one returned out of the 100+ that we have sold in the store I work in, and it was because the phone was "too smart" (her words) for her. No returns due to ear piece issues."

bought 2 Defys for my kids - opened both on Christmas day and one now has a failed earpiece.
Purchased through T-Mobile UK.
Grrrr

My son's Defy went back to T-Mobile (UK) last week with the same problem. Was fine on speakerphone but no sound at all from the earpiece.
A common fault according to the customer service lady on the phone.

now would be a great time for a develope to step in(because motorola are impotents and cant back up theyre own products) and heres my genius idea:
Instead of talking to it the normal way, turn it arround with the back loud speaker(lower the volume) to the year, and use the noise canceling mic to talk, now the front mic that should've been normally used is going to work as noise canceling.

@mariu$
That is genius

Got an exchange
I purchased a Defy in mid November through Vodafone UK. The earpiece started to fail occasionally after 2 weeks. I thought it was self caused due to me playing around in water. However everything else seemed to function alright.
After pushing slightly on top of the phone, I managed to get some sound from time to time.
I called Vodafone two days ago (Dec 30th), and they immediately sent me a replacement phone! Got the package yesterday!
backup everything didn't seem to save my angry birds scores though
//Dave - Happy again.

@simbo
agreed

Mine just crapped out two days ago....at first I just thought it wasnt dialing until today I turned on speaker and BAM.....so I called tmobile and they are sending out my 3rd device....Guy told me on the phone if this one has problem they will reset my upgrade credit and send me a new phone of our choice (within reasonable price range)

The bug phone was made in December？or Nov？
You can know it by MSN code.

Hi,
anyone have tried to repair the call speaker by itself?

If you are rooted you can use Titanium backup to backup angry birds and it will maintain your scores.

I think I'm starting to have this problem.
Does anyone know that it can be 100% fixed if it's sent away to be seen by an engineer?
I've already swapped my Defy once due to being unhappy with the battery performance of the original and the new handset's an absolute stormer in that respect, so I don't want to swap it again only to end up with another one that has a poorer battery life.
Not to mention, there's no guarantee that the earpiece on the replacement phone won't end up with the same problem...
So, with that in mind, I'd rather send it off and just have it fixed, provided that once it's fixed it's guaranteed to stay that way.

Some years ago i had an i-mate jam, and the device was affected, due to a contact problem, by an absence of sound on the call-speaker.
So, from my past experience, i can suppose that the problem is on speaker contact, becuase most of call-speaker are not soldered on the board.
On the jam i resolved soldering two wires between the speaker and the board.
But i don't know exactly how is inside the defy, so I can only assume with no certainty...

Casio G-Shock GB-6900b now compatible after update

I received the G-Shock Gb-6900b-1b yesterday as an awesome present from my bro in law. It wasn't linking to the phone until I updated to 4.3. Casio says only the iPhone and Galaxy 4 are officially supported, but everything is fully functional as of the update.

Congratulations! Could you post some photos and to tell what exactly gives that synchronisation?
It is too expensive for me in any case. I have had a G Shock watch, I have bought it in german Amazon for about 10-20 Euro, it is looking quite the same. It has an awful quality, despite Casio usually don't do a bull****, but one left button "mode" has fallen, so now I can use this watch only with arrows.
But I think for 180 dollars they do much better watch hehehe))
I just don't understand what gives that synch for such price? Has it geolocation or radiation detector?)
P.S. white watches in your link are fancy

Here are some pictures. Keeping it connected is kind if a pain though. Hopefully it improves.
It's pure Bluetooth, allows you to set alarms and find my phone if lost. Not as fancy as the smart watches but much more durable and last a couple years.

Problem with the smart watches is requiring to regularly recharge the battery. In addition to other mobile gadgets now there is a watch to recharge (!)
So how does the battery on the casio manage with bluetooth ?
G-shock is a term Casio has been using for over a couple of decades now.

It's says it will last about two years on its charge before the battery needs replacing. No recharging!
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

so what is the function of the bluetooth?

My guess is that if it's constantly connected to your phone then the knock on effect will be that both devices will be hit by the usage, unless they've found a way to drip feed the BT and retain battery?
Two years on one charge is pretty epic when you consider it connects via BT.
Perhaps a kinetic type watch which replenishes the juice when you move would be a better innovation.

I've got one of these and it works pretty well. You can get alerts for email, sms, facebook, twitter, etc. You can also control the phone from the watch with features such as skip forward/backward on your music player, play/pause, volume up/down etc. The watch even displays track name info and email & SMS sender on the display. The downs are that it's a very large & chunky watch and that's from someone with a large wrist and that the phone's battery is greatly affected by this connection. I carry ZeroLemon spare batteries so to me it's not as big of a deal but to others it may be a deal breaker. Another thing is I had to disable one of the features due to annoyance & something that does need to be addressed by the folks at Casio: Lost connection warning. This is a good idea and in theory is supposed to warn you before you leave your phone somewhere. In practice what it does is annoying alert (tone & vibrate) regularly when your phone is in your pocket next to you and the connection is just dropped. The connection is far less reliable than most bluetooth devices I use and this includes going back several years. Other than that the watch is supposed to last a couple of years on a single battery which the competition couldn't dream of (although old Nokias before smart phones were the same since they had limited features which is a similar comparison) are ultra durable and with a solid price point too. While I hope they add some more features and fixes easily done through app updates the watch itself is pretty solid as expected for a G-Shock.

I couldn't find it in the play store, I was able to find it on my old xperia sp when I search for the G-Shock+ app. And if I try to side load the apk, it says "application not installed"... Could you extract the apk from your phone so I can try it out again?

I have that since it's first release and bundle with my Casio phone. Awesome watch but still prefer Casio Waveceptor:victory::victory::victory: Still, the battery is ****ing awesome, no replacement for 2 years now:laugh::laugh:

G-Shock+ alternative: BlueWatcher
Hello everybody,
I'm the founder of the Android Application called "BlueWatcher". BlueWatcher is the alternative to G-Shock+ Android app to control CASIO Bluetooth watches. A lot of users missed functionality in the official app and I decided to release my own app including the functionality that users proposed me. It's evolving quickly!! Now it supports all kind of notifications (facebook, whatsapp, line... all installed apps), time synchronization, musico control...
You can visit http://www.bluewatcher.es to discover more about BlueWatcher and what BlueWatcher can do for you.
It has been tested my many users in the XDA Developers forum and now it has more than a hundred downloads (~4.70 punctuation at Play Store).
I'm here to help you ([email protected]). Feedback is welcome!
See you and hope you enjoy it!

Use the old version of Gshock App
Hey man, just use the old version of the Gshock App. and don't update it. It will work better again, connects automatically.

i'm also thinking on buying gshock with bluetooth, im just wondering if the music controls work with other music players such as spotify?

After Lollipop Update it didn't work
Can't connect on my Sony Xperia Z1 after the Lollipop Update. How about yours?

A Story

A story, by 640k
I have been fascinated by the Moto360 since its initial hype. I had hope it was the smartwatch I was looking for, in an attractive package. Reviews passed, days passed, inventory passed and I still had yet to pull the trigger. It was a Thursday and I managed to leave my gym clothes at home (I usually work out at lunch). Instead of exercising that day, I went and spent money.
Actually, what had transpired that day was this; After a few days of stalking the watch online and coming up short with various methods of wedging in a discount, I finally stumbled across a slickdeals thread that explained if you can find a returned watch at your local Best Buy, you can use a 10% off coupon and get one for less than $200. I was stoked. Ready to buy my first smartwatch, I started checking inventory of my local stores.
All of the Best Buy stores near me had nothing in stock, not even a new one, but for some reason that day I decided to head there anyway. Once I entered the store, I realized I had no idea where to go. It wasn't a smartphone, it wasn't a tablet, and it wasn't in their fitness tracking device section. Where would they place this watch? After some quick guidance, I was led to a display. In the display was exactly one black and one silver Moto360. I played with the demo watches a few times. I picked up the box a few times. I put it on my wrist a few times. I even walked away. Twice.
My lunch hour was running short and so was my decision. I knew that even if I purchased this watch online, I would succumb to taxes. I took the plunge. I rushed back to the office with my purchase (and my cooling lunch) and hurried back to my desk. I ripped open the box (and my lunch) and almost immediately started charging it. I joked around with my friends on Lync about what my wife would say through all of this. I planned for the worst.
That night I kind of hid the watch by keeping my arm under the table. I could tell my wife was suspicious. I could feel her glaring at the watch to determine if she had seen it before. Finally upon putting my 4 y/o to bed, she demanded, "did you get a new watch?" I paused. I answered, "yup."
"How much was that?"
"I got a really good deal!"
The conversation kind of ended. I felt like I escaped unscathed. Not much else was said but I could tell I was being judged. Little did I know, my wife had no idea what I actually purchased. My kids figured it out before she did. Fast forward to the weekend. Pandora is streaming on the ChromeCast. I show the kids how I've got the images from the music playing on my watch. They think it's kind of neat but are not sure why. The wife walks in.
I get a glare. Then, a snide comment (and probably an eye roll). She's busy, so she moves along.
By this time I feel as she's figured out the situation. The watch doesn't come up in conversation again, until last night. I get an email on my phone and immediately check my watch. I read the email, then dismiss it.
"Did you just check something on your phone with your watch?"
"Yeah!"
"OMG, smartphones are ruining society, you don't have to be connected ALL THE TIME!"
It took my wife all of five days for her to realize what I had purchased and I now know to expect another snide remark about connectivity, etc. (while she's got her face buried in her Facebook).
LONG STORY SHORT, I LOVE THIS WATCH!

I like your story 640k. I went into a Best Buyt thinking if they had one in stock I would buy one. Of course they had one left so I bought it. My wife came home later that night and I immediately told her I had bought a smartwatch. After a couple of questions she let me be.
Every now and then she sees me glance at my watch and swipe away a notification and says that is kind of cool.

I have a story. It's a short one.
This watch is rarer then rocking horse s**t! Ordered 1st October. Still awaiting stock.

Rotting away in a drawer. Can anybody help in this thread?
Thanks

I'd sure hate to think about the radiation resulting from your phone, house, car, literally every piece of electronics, and oh yeah, the sun. Take off the tinfoil hat and enjoy the world, it's a lot more tolerable when you decide to stop being so paranoid.

Are Bluetooth Headphones Dangerous?
News regarding an appeal written to the WHO in 2015 picked up last week, noting the potential health risks associated with exposure to the radiation emitted from Bluetooth and wireless devices. Although some suspect chronic use of Bluetooth and wireless headphones could cause cancer, it’s still...

Again, if you're concerned with radiation from a watch, run in fear of the radiation from your phone that you keep next to your face at night. And next to your crotch during the day. And the sun, which pumps out more radiation than a piddly barely active bluetooth connection. Stop reading news for crazies.

Hi, phone is closed at night and I use a sun screan and I know, just checked last night with my phone there were other 5 blutooyhe sources around me and countless wifi's but that considered I still would love to know if there is anybody up the task here. Thanks for your interaction anyway..

So nobody is up to it? Let's wait for Huawei to wake up on this.

No, because you're literally the only one that wants this option. Why? Because it's asinine for all the reasons I've already given. Just use your watch the way it's meant to be used.
How do you close your phone at night? You shut it off? You toss it in a faraday cage? You have a flip phone for some ungodly reason?

I am not the only one. I need it because my partner owner of the watch has a heart condition that needs to be monitored. And because she is also breastfeeding 2 new-borns we wouldn't like to have them absorb radiations. So shutting off the device, throwing it in a faraday cage or throwing it out of the window wouldn't help would it? On radiations there is still a lot we don't know do not understand. And then, if you are not one of the people capable to help why do you even take the time to answer?

Because I'm genuinely curious. You say you want to stop your babies from absorbing radiation, but surely that can't mean from a bluetooth signal in a watch. BEcause that's quackery. To claim there's a lot we don't understand is also false. bluetooth "radiation" as you call it will not affect you, your partner, nor your babies. Don't drink the Kool Aid bro

Red pill blue pill dipends on what you want to believe. I have just read many of research on the subject and have picked on which side
To stand. We don't have WiFi at home, close the cell phones at night use sunscreen ect ect.. Maybe it's also just an instinct of trying to protect your kids don't know. What I do know that I like the watch. Would like to hold on to it put on the condition that I can find a good soul that can help me disable this feature. Please see 2 pieces of research that I have found there are miriads more out there. Regards man.

People aren't helping you because you're being a paranoid tinfoil hat wearer. A Bluetooth watch is designed to use Bluetooth. Sorry for the convenience.
