Can anyone tell me how smooth playing Ingress is on our Note 2? I've heard it has Tron like graghics, running on top of Google maps. I've downloaded the free app from Google play, but it requires an access code. Weeks ago, ive already submitted my emailing address to request on.
To anyone out there who doesn't know what Ingress is, its a MMO using augmented reality. Where in you need to travel to various aeas and hack, and steel these things called portals. It has a huge back story, and its only open for invites.
Side note: if anyone can invite me, please do. PM me please. I've been biting at the chomps to play this game.

Thanks dandn0ten, I sent you a privet message.
Anyway, I heard playing reeks havoc on battery life. Like it only gives you something like a few hours of game play. I assume us Note2 owners needs some type of power reserve?

Nope, the access code didnt work. Oh well, Ive heard that the Niantic project is the ones handing out access codes.
However, at http://decodeingress.me/2013/03/29/ingress-players-level-6-to-8-will-get-some-invites/ level 6 through 8 players will get some invites.

you meant the game drains battery alot ? it sure does because you will need to turn on gps and location service using wifi/4g network. thats why i have extended battery which doesnt drain as much as normal battery

Works great on galaxy note 2.
But you need power pack when you're out for a long time because the game is very chatty

To give you a data point battery-wise, I played for approximately two and a half hours going from 96% down to about 5% on the regular battery. That's on a relatively stock ROM, with Songza streaming in the background, and not using power saving mode.
Another player I met with a Galaxy Nexus said he lasted about an hour without his external battery pack.
Update: I've since bought an Anker 13000 mAh external battery. I cannot overemphasize how useful they are to play this game. I managed to play for over eight hours today, scoring over 100000 AP and reaching level 6! When I got home, the phone's battery was at 77% and the external was reading as half full!
It's hard for me to quantify exactly how much time I played today but I was at Disneyland today for almost 6 hours and I played anytime not standing in line and went from about 90% battery to about 25%. I am running Jedi 13 with Saberkernal. I'm not sure exactly how many points a gained today (I am a noob with only 3 days play time) but I went from one bar on level 1 complete to 7 bars complete on level one. There are so many portals to hack and Disneyland so it's pretty easy to gain points really quickly.

Yup, Ingress eats batteries (though a few versions ago it seems to have improved).
Go go car adapter and a driver so you can concentrate on drive by hackings, or even fast resonator deployments if the traffic lights are red.
Any improvements on battery life with the latest version? I am still waiting on an access code from them.
Just noticed that I received an extra invite code. First one to PM me with their gmail address gets the code.
Apologies for late update. Invite code is gone.
I got the invite from invite from niantic, I am sure someone will pop and ask for yours. Thanks for offering though.

Hey guys, just checked: theres an app called "liveview application" in the market ;-)
So launch shouldnt be too far away

Are you buying one? If yes could you share the points that you think matters for you to own one?
Thanks
I'm definitely considering buying one, or at least asking for it for Xmas if I don't get around to buying it. I've kind of been wanting to get a watch anyways and this brilliant little device would be a nice watch and great for seeing what messages friends are sending to me while I'm working. I'm also an accessory whore so theres that as well. Why buy a fancy watch when I can get something that connects right to my phone and does much more than tell me the time
If it isn't astronomically priced I would consider getting one. Sony made an older bluetooth watch that is still available on ebay for a fairly high amount though.
I amuse myself with the thought of kids in school being able to check their text messages / social networks from their watch. I would have.

I'm actually thinking of buying this one too. regarding battery life, right now I have my x10 connected to my mbw-150 and IS800 and so far my phone lasts a day, granted I only wear them when I go out which is like 6 or 7 hours a day.
6 hours are the normal battery time for the liveview device!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
6 hours battery life is putting it a little low. Got mine since Friday 19th and have been using it since.
The battery holds for about 14 hours with on and off (regular) usage.
But as with all new devices, you'll probably drain that thing dry in about 5-6 hours, since you will be fumbling it all the time.
But as time goes and you'll use it normally, you should see a days worth of usage from the thing.
What concerns me, personally is the stability of the Software.
I don't know, how much is the apps fault (fixable), or that of the device (I've read no mention of it being update-able).
I already wrote SE for a statement on the matter.
As it is now, the device regularly quits working.
It wont go further then showing you the watch (time and date).
Nothing else.
After turning it off and on again, it automatically connects again and works though (taking about 10 seconds and two button presses).
With that behavior it's quite unreliable for notifications (it's main purpose).
I hope, SE can somehow fix that.
Got mine from ldlc.com
work nice.
But I'm a little bit disapointed with my mw600 now. I don't understand why the LiveView can display my contact name and my music title and the mw600 not ....
Dear All Thanks for the application
can anybody post the other 7 applications for live view since i dont have the android market in my x10 mini pro
apprecaite......
Can anybody please provide the updated version of liveview.apk?
Thanks, Sigi

Is really cool.
Thought I would post this here since the inc2 is my current phone. Not sure if it has been discussed yet.
I downloaded the siriusxm app about a month and a half ago. I sign up for the one week free trials alot whenever there is a special broadcast that I want to hear using my emails or a disposable email through 10 minute mail. I have mainly used it on my pc where the trial expires after a week.
Well last time I signed up I did it through the free trial button on the app itself. After 1 week I got a popup that said your trial has expired click here to subscribe. So instead of hitting ok I hit the back arrow to exit the app. I opened the app again and it has been working for almost 2 months now nonstop. I play it all day at work for 8+ hours and I use the same login on multiple devices (droid inc1 and 2, 2 droid eris and an acer iconia a500 tablet) No popups or problems at all.
Just thought Id share.
It not a hack or a mod really just a glitch in the app so I figured it would be cool to share my experience. i have told about 10 people so far who are all really thankful and enjoying it while they can.
Awesome. I love it in my car but didn't want to pay thw extra for the phone. I will have to try.

also does anyone know how the app identifies a user as having used the trial or not? is it by email address, rom, android phone id, phone number, meid? it would be nice to know so that it can easily be modified or spoofed. i already pay for this **** in my car. i dont get why i gotta pay for it again to hear it at home..
I just downloaded the app from the play store
as stated above I use it on multiple devices
2 droid eris phones
1 droid inc
1 droid inc2 and
my acer a500 iconia tab
as well as my netbook and pc
all on the same free trial that I used 10 minute mail for a disposable email address
singed up using my first name and only last initial
it has now been working for over a month and a half after my free trial was suppossed to end on all my devices
I have told lots of people about it and it is the same outcome for them as well.
Just thought I'd share my story.
Although 1 coworker said it worked on her computer and android phone but not on her ipod. HA!!!

Got you covered like waffle-house hash browns old mate
well how about this i just downloaded the app and applied for the free trial but it says it already expired and thing is i have never downloaded or used the app till today... so something is being identified incorrectly... is it my email address? imei? phone number?
K. I just downloaded this.I have been wanting to use it on my phone instead of moving my xm radio from my work van to my personal truck.So hopefully this will work out.
It would be great if someone took all the current i747 roms out there - there are so many - and made a chart that made comparing features really easy and also showed a few stats, like comscore and maybe something related to battery life.
This could be maintained as new versions came out, etc.
I would like to get a bounty up to get this under way. I'll chip in $25. Anyone else feeling generous?
Personally, I try out every rom as they get updated or released. I'd be willing to do this, and wouldn't even ask for donations. Although I certainly wouldn't deny them ;p
I'll put in 5 for the hell of it

What would be a good way to assess battery? Fully charge, then run everything for 20 minutes and see what PCT the battery is at?

I was thinking more along the lines of a 24 hour run time assessment. It'd be slower but give it more of a real life usage feel ya know
What features should I be comparing exactly? If battery is the only slot I can't complete today, what should make up the other "slots"

I say you have a "24" hour hard usage by running a specific game for example NOVA 3 or any other games thats pretty intense on both single player and multiplayer
Then have an average "business person" style where you only browse webs, email, messaging, social networking, news etc
Then have a "norm" style where you do a bit of both.
This is going to take a while tho lol
EDIT: I would like to help with the comparison for just the fun of it but we gotta make sure we're on the same kernels don't you think and also have more than one person test out each rom and then average the results out for each rom
Adding features that work and do not work would be great as well.

Comscore. Does camera work? Does BT work? Does tethering work?
re: battery. I think the 24 hour test might be inconsistent if you are using the phone to do different things. I'd think a brief sample would work just fine - 20 minutes of watching video with GPS, Wifi, and BT on. But I am not a battery expert.
Every battery test between even "identical" phones will be nigh on useless due to the possible flaws in the manufacture process for the phone and battery.
I would also suggest you ignore any benchmarking scores as they are as close to useless in real life usage as anything you can do on the phone.

I'm surprised there is not a battery testing ap - it could also be used for burn-in.
Came in today to find a SGS3 on my desk woot! I like ICS wish it had Jelly bean, but it's great so far. I gotta get this an xoskin right after work, woot for a company card. I have had a Blackberry Bold for an on call phone and I guess my complaints didnt fall on deaf ears. The thing had issues, I dont even know where they got it. The sticker on the back says property of research in motion limited. It was like some demo blackberry haha. Just waiting for exchange to sync, then I will customize it. What average battery life should I expect? I had like 3 spare batteries on my old evo, as long as I can get 8 hours I should be good.

You can get jellybean, there's a couple good stable ROMs. I'm using baked black bean 5 right now and it does well, you can use team venum's jellybean ROM because its touchwiz, although I really don't like touchwiz(thought it was great until I tried normal android without it)oh and jellybean would require root unless you wait for the official update which is supposed to be this month.
I'm on stock unrooted(for now at least) and I can go from 7 am to 10 pm with about 6 or 7 hours of screen on time and still have around 20 percent left.
