Thanks, great review BTW. I'm 99% sure I'm going to get the Galaxy at some point but because of wanting the all black, I'll probably go for the 42mm.

There's a big hit in the battery department if you go to the 42mm...

I know there will be some but I'll have to take that over the 46mm color that I absolutely don't like at all. Why they dropped the all black is a mystery.

anyone out there try the LiveView with the vibrant yet, and if so, how do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one, looks like a cool little toy, but i've herd some negatives about connetion issues (yes i know they just recent released a fireware update to help that) but still unsure if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance!
well i just got it, and it's pretty bomb in case any of u 203 visitors wanted to know lol

Its a bluetooth connected display that you wear on your wrist. It will give you a lot of information at a glance. I guess it would be great for someone who hates pulling their phone out all the time, or someone who uses a belt clip or armband case.

they put out an update for the software that makes it pretty usefull. there is also a hack with tasker to help it connect when it disconnects.
it does disconnect sometimes, but for the most part it works really well. If you are on xda and hack your phone then you know the software isn't always perfect and if you have delt with roms that arn't quit ready for daily driver you know the feeling and it isn't that bad.
I'm loving this so far, and want more people to get it so that more people would devolop plugins for it.
it is coming to the US soon, or u can get it on ebay for about 70 bucks! get it now before they get to the us and become hot and the price on ebay skyrockets!

Yeah, I thought it looked like the borders were different. But I was at work, and for some reason symantec was stopping me from watching the video on youtube. So I could only watch it on my phone, and I just wasn't sure on that small screen.
Now we just need the water head on youtube to post a link. So you can verify it.

I'm almost positive they're the same. I actually found the exact color combo which I'm not huge fan of but this one does ship locally instead of from China. It costs more of course.

Wow, these guys have an amazing selection of S3 cases. Practically every case model that I saw during a January shopping trip to the Pearl Market in Beijing. Most of those cases are have got fit and function. Others are poorly fitting garbage. Unfortunately, I didn't try this style on my phone while I was there.
Given that the seller as a 14-day return policy and 99.3% feedback, this looks worth a purchase.

Can anyone make this watchface? It looks very nice and minimalistic. I'm horrible at photoshop so I don't think I could ever make something like that.

It all depends on how much Facer improves or whether I learn to design wear faces.

Yeah I have the blue submariner one, the resolution on it is horrible and it's pretty much not usable. Hoping someone does a nice black one.
Edit: Saw someone posted up a black one, it's not bad. I think they took of off of the gearfaces square one as the minute markers are still square and it doesn't look great on the round face. The hour markers are also spaced out a bit too much and are under that angled glass around the perimeter which distorts them making the face look weird.
Something to play with, maybe I'll load PS up and see what I can do.
Would this be possible as a watch face?

Cool, thanks. Yeah I do. I don't know if this is possible on Android wear, but the actual watch (the one I linked) has three discs that rotate. The first disc (the seconds hand) rotates constantly, the other two (the minute and hour hand) rotate accordingly. Sorry if that was too obvious.

Its totally doable with facer on android wear. The tough part is going to be finding that exact font. How attached are you to it?

Thank you both, each of the watch faces looks great! One thing I did notice, on the actual watch the seconds dial (only) rotates the opposite way and the hours dial gradually progresses towards the next hour (within the hour). Other than that, great job!

Try looking up Android Watchface in Google+, there should be a ton of converted watch faces there, though some might have similar layout and complications minus the actual brand logo due to licensing issues and all that. Watchmaker is IMO has the most faces and best bet for that sort of thing. Also recommend Pujie Black for "smarter" faces showing weather, fitness data, battery levels and so on.
How you guys getting on with the SW3? Any buyers remorse? I'm still trying to decide between the Urbane , Zenwatch 2 and this. Any input would be appreciated.

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

I'm really curious with this phone. Instead of mediatek processor, do you ever experience any lag/error during multitasking? And I wonder how long this 2.300 ma power battery can stand for a day. Maybe you can share your screen on time with list of applications installed.

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..
