[Q] Google Cardboard

Google Cardboard is pretty exciting. There is no tested/untested status for the note 2 on the google cardboard site. Has anyone tried this yet on this phone? If so does it function well?

I ordered a home-made one because the lenses were hard to find. I will update next week if no one replies.

For $8, I got this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Viewer...ls&ascsubtag=7f1dce301b6f4b1bb3b67622891934c8
It works fine with my Note - albeit, it was designed for a smaller screen. When I installed the cardboard app, it played the intro, and then force closes. A bit of a let down. At least I can watch stereoscopic pictures and YT videos...

Updated app works for Note 2
After a recent update the cardboard now works on my Galaxy Note 2 with the exception of the "Windy Day" option.

Cardboard leans left
Hi,
Don't know where to post my question... But... The vr apps on my note 3 always lean to the left. So when I'm playing a vr story or a Rollercoaster...at the end I'm always looking left of almost behind me. Tried calibrating the sensors but did not work. Some apps have a calibration option with the cardboard magnet. But yeah it's pretty annoying... Someone knows what this could be? I'm on Android 4.4.2...

Can you use a Moto 360 2nd Gen strap?

Hey so I've been searching around for silicone bands for my huawei watch, I tried amazon(international) but they don't deliver to where I live and the amazon for my country has them but almost 5 times what I'd pay if I ordered it from an international seller. What I did find was silicone bands for the Moto 360 2nd gen that were much much cheaper(probably made locally) before ordering I wanted to know if they would be cross compatible. Tried doing a few searches couldn't find anything concrete. Anyone whose tried this?

Hi,
Short answer no,
The Moto 360 2nd gen bracelet has 22mm for the 46mm screen version, and 20mm for 42 Men version and 16mm for 42 Women version; where Huawei watch band is 18mm

Need a new band

Hi fellow forum members. I've had my moto 360 1st generation for 2 years now. I noticed yesterday that my leather band is splitting apart. The watch still works fine, so I'd hate to shell out $200 for a new watch. Back when I first purchased the watch Motorola sold official "dodo" leather straps on their site, but it seems that they're no longer available. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement band that won't break the bank? Thanks

Amazon or eBay maybe they have them

You should have looked at the other posts in this sub-forum; about 1/3 of them already discuss 3rd party watch bands for the Moto 360.

what to look 4 when buying used HW 1?

Hi guys,
this is my first experience with smart watches, i found that Huawei 1 is the only brand watch with Android O.S and cheap.
So what should i look for while buying it since it's old model and surely used a lot.
My phone is Samsung S9+ android 9

Hi, I had one from new, bought it in 2017 I think, used it until September 2019, the only issue I had was the original black leather strap broke. I sold it as fancied something different but after using a non android watch for a week I sent it back and bought a used W1 from ebay. It has less surface marks on the casing than mine had, the battery seems very slightly better (finish the day around 65% instead of 40-45 with the same watch face) but this has a screen burn-in which I was not aware was an issue until I received the watch. Not a big problem as it would only be disturbing on white or very light backgrounds and my usual faces are dark. The other issue is the charging pins on the back plate of the watch are very worn, have to fiddle with the charger to work so I'm looking to replace the back plate (circa £5-10 from China). So this is it. If I could buy mine back which I originally had I would as that was still great, much better than this newer but less looked after one.

Dear @Andrastronaut
Thank you 4 reply, is there any available brand new watch?
How much is used one in good condition on ebay?
when you are using any of the sports features and the watch is recovering the results, can you go to main screen to check time or battery level or anything else?
can you reply to notifications ?

Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has arrived (Germany)

My Galaxy Watch 4 Classic arrived this morning at 10:30.
It was a surprise for me, I was expecting a parcel from Samsung with a new case and Smarttags for my S21 Ultra so was not really paying attention to the DHL emails, but an additional box came with 4 Classic inside.
I thought it may be just luck because I am 5 minutes away from Samsung Germany head office but looking at Reddit seems a few people have them today or shipped today.
So far it is very nice, cannot choose Google Assistant yet but happy so far.

Cool. Looks sharp

Yeah my 46mm Classic in Silver arrived today, a week early.....
Not complaining although the straps havent arrived yet and I hate this silicon white one!

I have the standard strap but think I might get the leather one when it's available.

My black Watch 4 has arrived and it's a definite upgrade from my Watch 2. Good to have a blood oxygen monitor. And great being able to use Gpay instead of the clunky Samsung Pay Plus. Also useful having Google Keep Notes and Google Maps on the watch. Not sure about battery life...seems to drain pretty quickly. But I've been playing around with it a lot and it's early days.

Yup, happy to have Notes and Maps.
Still would prefer Fit over Samsung Health but not everything will work in there directly even if you can install and choose as primary.
Batter has gone from 100% to 58% for me in 6.5 hours..
Including setup and play time, 20 minutes tracked walk and always on screen.

I was going to order the Classic in Silver but didn’t like the white straps. I noticed on the main page there where two silver options. The other silver option was for the watch with no straps. I ordered it and the black leather strap. Both watch and strap arrived yesterday. Two separate boxes. The watch box was sealed but inside the watch had fingerprints all over it. There was no protective film on the display.
Has anyone else received a grubby watch and do was there any protective film over the display?
I cleaned up the watch and fortunately there were no scratches. Attached the straps and it looks good. Not sure about the battery life but I will give it a few days.

Maybe because you did the choosing watch and strap thing?
Could be lack of watch on its own at launch so they have to remove band manually?
Although should not make them take film off.
Mine had plastic film over screen and box fully sealed.

Mine had protective film on screen.

Congrats! Looks sweet!
I have the black 44mm pre-ordered and due August 27... can't wait!

i agree with you, google pay , maps and keep are really welcome but also google messages and gboard are great additions
unfortunately after a couple of days i must say that the battery drain is increased compared to the active2 but it's worth it!
