GBP 19.99 on play.com in the UK if you want it - I think it it too bulky - new version is better on pictures at least looks like proper watch - I use mbw-200 instead

I'm waiting for the pebble personally (getpebble.com). Eliminates the problem of having to press a button to see the time.

Thanks!
This is a sweet deal. Thanks for the heads-up! I got one yesterday

Yeah but with that watch you can't read text messages, missed calls and stuff like that.
With the Liveview you can and it's a steal at that price.
The MBW-200 is still too expensive !

this may not have something to do with the deal, but since it's about liveview...
guys, i just updated mine to the latest firmware available via Sony Update Service, but I still have disconnection problems. is that suppose to happen? any solutions?
i saw a number of posts about fixing the issue by using an app called MinFree, but aren't those tutorials intended for the old software of LiveView?
and lastly, since the issue is about android killing the liveview app, will converting it to system app solve the problem?

I updated mine a while back and it was better but not perfect. I use Go Launcher and have it set to not kill this app. THis app is a godsend... I have next to zero disconnects.

ITs $1.99 but in my opinion totally worth it.....

jeez.. i think i wasted money here.. i was hopeful all the bugs were sorted out already since almost all threads about its bugs that i read were almost 2 years old.. and that the latest update came 2011..i feel ripped off.....

There was another app that was not on the market that was free it also worked well. I dont have my phone with me right now but when I find the app I will let you know. Did the above app not work?

Thanks for the time helping out an "accessory noob" guy jgregory! Nope I didn't try that app yet. Apparently my unit is kinda working good now after the firmware update. It has been connected already for an hour without disconnection, only some type of freezing on the device that forces me to turn off and on again the devicE. But it's really rare now. I'm gonma do an overnight conmection test, see if it disconnects while I'm asleep.
These accessories are actually on sale in our country. Yesterday I bought MW600 despite negative reviews, but I'm actually impressed with the headset. It has good battery life. 4 hours into music and the battery indicator is still at full. I just hope it doesn't go into some sort of cardiac arrest like most reviews talk about.
I'm happy that the LiveView can control the music on my phone using PowerAmp whilst using the MW600 simultaneously.
These accessories are so cool!

Yeah once i got the disconnection problem resolved this things sweet. I use it mostly for music streaming to my headset..... hey I was going to PM you but theres no option for it on your profile....

Oh jeez I don't know why. Must be because some disrespectful kid was bugging me and dropping crap on me via PM and I reported him and the mods interfered. Maybe you could try again.
Anyway, what messaging app are you using? I'm using GOSMS but apparently LiveView doesn't support it
I don't use the stock messaging app because it looks worse than a command prompt window. Haha. Any workaround you know of?

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

Eh u just got the phone, give it a few days, ull grow to hate it
But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?

Headset mic way too sensitive

Hi All,
Got the Z1 last week about 9 dates ago as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy S3. Generally liking it, though struggling to get used to the size of the handset. One major issue, though that I can't easily sort or find an answer to anywhere.
Basically, when I use a wired headset with inline mic for phone calls, the microphone is way too sensitive. It picks up every movement of the headphone cord, every rustle on my clothes, etc. Tried about 5 different headsets, including a dedicated Android one button Sennheiser headset. All the same. None of these proved a problem with
Anyone any ideas on what's causing it or how to fix it? Is there something simple I'm missing? It's making calls a painful experience.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nope. In one case, the headphones/headset goes back as far as an IPhone 4, so about three years ago. This is the first time I've had the issue with any of them.

Tried that. No change. S3 better than this? In this respect only. V pleased to see the back of the S3, as it constantly had firmware issues, caused, no doubt. Random battery life issues (sometimes lasting a day, sometimes a few hours), crashes, screen redraw issues, glitchy music playback. I could go on.

I think with Root you can get work anything even the sensitivity of your microphone. It can be easy like edit build.prop that something more but I am sure the sensitivity can be managed. If I find something I will post.

have you seen this Gear before?????

i just purchased this with 30$ in my country from a guy and every things work find,i can charge and connect to pc to root this device,the only thing not work is camera :angel:

You purchased it "from a guy"? Seems legit. But seriously if you think this is a real Gear, you're wildly mistaken. In fact there are a lot of different rip offs - see below.
The camera doesn't work because it's a fake - furthermore, it's not even running Tizen, as your firmware states : V700XXUBNC1, (AKA android).
Buy cheap, buy thrice and enjoy your cheap knock off

Why wouldn't you update to Tizen considering it's better in every way?! If you think it's genuine, then maybe Tizen will fix your camera issue? Plug it into your PC, what does Samsung Kies say about your device?

Off topic I know, but I am interested in the 'its better in every way?' comment about Tizen. Early on there were teething probems it seemed but it is have been difficult to obtain up to date feedback. I have a Gear that I am considering moving to Tizen, but I have been waiting to learn if early problems have all gone away or were not real anyway.

It depends on your problems. My issue was lack of apps. Now the store for Tizen is saturated compared to its former iteration. The battery is better, the way it deals with notifications (esp delete all)! The fact it can play music to a BT device are to name a few. For me I'd not even consider going back to Android.
@hurdlejade Definitely each to their own!

Just Got 5.1.1 on my G W R

Curious: do you have cloud sync turned on in the Wear app on your phone?
Cloud Sync Was Off
I thought I said yes when it prompted me ... last month... but it was off. Just turned if on.
No wifi in settings.
And the "up" options page (swipe down from watchface) has the flat tire. What? Did I want a 360?
Rebooted - still no wifi in settings
And that's that. We don't have Wifi enabled by LG. Next is to see if it can be enabled in another way (ROM, kernel, etc.).
I feel deceived by lg.
Future proof device my a*s
Announced as a Wi-Fi capable device and then the update doesn't bring the feature. That's a no more lg to me. I will write to complain. This was the most expensive smartwatch and the only one that ever mentioned WiFi on the release.

So no wifi? No biggie. I have survived without it before, so nothing has changed. Does it bug me that it's on the Urbane and not the GWR? At first, yes, because it was told to us. But thinking about it. I am "meh" about the wifi thing in general. I don't think wifi would have changed my way of doing things on the watch. I am still wearing it. I am not going tot sell it. My GWR still functions, I love my watchfaces. The battery life lasts as long as I do during the day. So I say it's still a win. We are still getting updates. Now it would be another issue if we weren't getting the update lol.

The thing is I couldn't have cared about the wifi at all either, but when I think about it's just going to open a window to not update the device further in the future, as it "doesn't have a feature set required for an update" or whatever bull**** they can come up with.

Does it say "Wifi Support" or "Wifi Capable" ANYWHERE on the box of your watch? No? Then you have no right to complain. Seriously, people, you knew what you were buying. Stop giving LG crap about it. While I agree that it's a bad move on their part to say the hardware doesn't support it, they are in NO way obligated to give us a feature they didn't advertise.

According to LG, additional certification and other work is needed before Wi-Fi can be activated on the G Watch R, and they're unsure if it's going to be possible to get past these roadblocks.

Besides, if you wait just a few days, there will most likely be ways to cross-flash a kernel (and possibly firmware blobs) to enable Wi-Fi on the GWR, since they're basically the same watch. So wait and see, I'm not too worried myself.
So is this thread about the 5.1.1 update for the GWR, or yet another ***** session about the watch not having Wi-Fi? There are already multiple threads covering that topic.

Sounds good to me! I'm on DL every day, but man there are some haters in the comments lol. It's like Motorola/Lenovo killed their firstborn or something.

I've always been of the mind that people are more likely to post to complain than otherwise. You rarely see, "hey, this is great!" .. I think it is often assumed that posting those kinds of comments add nothing to the discussion, so people don't do it...
Respond if you agree

Agreed. I see what you did there.
If it turns out to be true and even if they they just push it to those who oped in for soak test and whatnot and not a full out release in the next few weeks i am happy with Lenovo and this phone. I love what Lenovo did with the phone. I said updates will make or break it and i was scared about that when they said they could not commit to the security patches. But were getting those patches and have a word on the update so far so good. Hope they keep it up. This is the best phone out all around.
I'll still believe it when I see it. Moto has really been sucking badly on updates the last few years.

But the last few months they've been excelling!
All I know, as a Samsung fanboy in the past... I couldn't be happier that I chose to change to the Z Force... besides not bursting into flames in my pocket... the battery life puts EVERY Samsung I ever had to shame.

I agree 100% the funny part is I decided I needed a non samsung device as soon as I saw that lil wayne commercial that had him dumping champagne on the phone. I told coworkers that wanted the Note 7 prior to the release to get this phone instead because Samsung spent far too much for lil wayne for proper research and development, they all made fun of me...until the note started exploding.

Off topic but the issue is simple with the Note 7. I checked this my self. But its not cheap for them and the "Fixed" ones were not fixed and there was no way for them to fix it.
Simple version. The IC samsung chosen to handle the monitoring of the voltage for the battery was the cheapest they could find. That being said they can be way off in terms of calibration. The note 7 i had charged my battery to 4.9v. Phone would read 4.405v but a fluke on the batt reads 4.921v. And that is dangerous. So for all i know they could be charging to 5+ volts and no wounder they are bursting into flames. Issue has nothing to do with the battery and changing it wont do a thing. Its an issue with the ic on the board. And the IC has been used in other things that handle li-ion and li-po related charging and also caused problems on them.
Back on topic.
So we get 7.0 before the end of the year. Im guessing November. So far so good on the updates. But im wondering if they are going 7.0 or just going to jump to 7.1. Chances are no 7.1 that fast but so far the updates have been good. And the moto mod updates have been amazing. I would like to see 7.0 by Nov. 17th. But we prob wont see the roll out start until the end of Nov.
Does anyone know if Nougat will return the ability to save to SD or move apps to external sd?

It will not. Motorola has removed the Apps 2 SD feature. It was replaced by Adoptable Storage.

Just finished installing the Nougat update on my phone. After updating I tested it out in a Daydream VR and it works!
I wish someone would post the update files
Uuuurgh I wish there was a way to force it. I've been obsessively checking for software updates all day :|

Yes yes yes yes yes. Got rid of my Gear VR and S7 Edge for a PSVR and have been waiting for a good headset for my Z Droid. So it works with the remote and what not?

Yup, works exactly like it does on the Pixel. It runs the Daydream app, supports the VR keyboard, etc.

Did you sign up for soak test?

Not that I'm aware of. I've done plenty of soak tests for previous Moto devices and I got invites for soak tests for the camera and projector (which I don't have either), but I never got one for the phone. The update just popped up for me last night.
So far the only Nougat issues I'm having is the fact that my Ambient Moto Display no longer works. Slightly annoying, but it could be worse.

Great that means it's a general release!
Do a hard reset, it's always recommended to do a hard reset after a major update for optimal performance and user experience.
Strike my last statement. I just got it working. I need up just clearing the data for the Moto app and set it up again. Moto Display seems to work perfectly fine now.
