[App] vLauncher Home Replacement

with some trimming up, smoothing out and speeding up, this iPhone-like home launcher could make it to the top of the list quickly. I think it needs some help when it comes to the window animations and it shouldn't rotate into landscape unless the phone has a physical keyboard. 3 and 1/2 stars. Check it out. It's kinda cool.

Maybe ... just maybe ... some people like the look of the iphone but the availability of android (att doesn't have the best high speed coverage). I just can't understand how upset people get over someone elses phone. If you don't like it - move on. One last comment - there just might be a reason why the iphone is STILL the highest rated smartphone and considered the one everyone else is shooting for.

Flying. I got a white cover for the NS.
My problem is that I have a white blanket and dark sheets, so if I leave it on the sheets it's face down. If I leave it on the blanket it has to be face up.

Was cheap, and not so good..
Don't forget to thanks for the review

I made a lil review about how to apply and how the cheap ones look. Also it block the sensors.

To move a dry screen protector, apply it using two 'handles' made of tape. Lift it and move it to your heart's content. Or use the hinge method.
I'm not saying the protector you got is any good, we might never know. But your review is kind of pointless. It's like painting a car with a paint roller because you're used to painting ceilings, then saying the paint sucks because your car looks like **** now.

But it really doesn't point out why you shouldn't buy it. We don't even know that it's crappy since your conclusion is based on improper use.

'You're doing it wrong' isn't very harsh. OP doesn't help the situation when he says 'I know I'm doing it wrong, that's why this thing sucks.' Definitely the wrong foot all around.

It was not because I applied it wrong that it sucks right? What's the matter with me applying it in a other way? It didn't **** up the screen protector nor made it worse -.-

Any other black people or darker skin having trouble with the heart rate monitor?

Before I start I have to say I tried to make this as "HR" appropriate as possible. I just think this might be a problem. I have noticed that my heart rate monitor doesnt seem to like darker people. I have tested it on numerous light skinned or white people and I have found that it takes between 1-2 times before we get a reading. Meanwhile darker skinned people it takes anywhere between 4-6 times if at all to get a reading. I have tried different positions for the watch like moving it up the arm and putting it on the underside of my wrist and still no better results. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just crazy?

Racist smart watches eh? I'm light skin and it works fine. Wayans light skin with no tan

Interesting.....I'm dark skinned and I just gave up on trying to get a reading from the heart rate monitor.

Are you taking your measurement on the top or bottom of your wrist?
Sent from my DynamicKat Note 3!

Ha!! Aw man I thought it was just me!!! Im darkskin and the heart rate monitor hardly ever works but when it does its on the underside of my wrist. Even when its on the underside of my wrist I have to be really steady and quite and it takes a while but eventually it will work. My wife is light skin and it works on her like a charm.

While it is VERY unfortunate if Samsung did not test this sufficiently with different skin types, I will add that even on pale skin you have to keep still for a good reading. It is absolutely not suitable for continuous monitoring while running despite what Samsung may have suggested. You get all sorts of crazy readings, or wrong readings. If you really want continuous heart rate monitoring you need to use a Bluetooth chest strap (many options for this that work with Samsung fitness) but it means using it in conjunction with the phone rather than the watch.
I was wondering why Samsung chose a green LED for the light source under the watch. I would have thought being near to the infra-red band (i.e. red) would have coped better with various skin types.

I find it easier to get a reading on the under side of the wrist, pretty much right under the Palm of my hand

I wonder if they can make the light stronger. Make brighter so it penetrate darker skin types. I realize that's easier said then done.

Do you think that is because the underside of your wrist is lighter skinned or because the blood vessels are nearer the surface of the skin? I still find it incredible that Samsung didn't think of this issue. Heart rate monitors are not new in watches. Casio did this in the 90s!

I think this is just another example of "The Man" trying to bring a Brother down. : ) but seriously, sorry to hear this seems to be a real thing. I am pretty damn white, and have had a few reading issues, but overall it does work well for me.

Boycott Samsung's racist watch!

[Q] Phone not getting switched on after it fell in water

Hi,
So my nexus 5 fell into swimming pool. I tried all the methods of drying up and it has been 5 days but still its not getting switched on. When I insert the charger, the battery shows 100% and when I try to power it on, the Google logo shows and then again the battery symbol keeps coming. Also, can't turn it on without putting the charger. Any idea, what all are damaged inside the phone?

um.. the whole phone? all the metal pieces, wires, curcuits, chips, etc.

after falling into a pool, yea. in only a rare case would you be able to save it. and thats only if you took the phone apart seconds after it fell into the pool, and you put those parts into and covered by rice.

I accidentally hit "THANKS".
You can try taking the phone apart and cleaning the parts with rubbing alcohol. Usually that will fix a water damaged phone. There are plenty of guides on YouTube on how to do so. Good luck.

Small world. I grew up in Glenview. Live in Northbrook now.

Wow this thread stayed on topic!
I have the Nex 4. (Buying the 5 this week) and mine went into the washing machine for about 1 minute until I realized it was in there.
It shut down and I thought I was f'd. But I immediately took it apart and unplugged the battery and dried everything I could physically and left it in rice 12 hours. I know that's not enough time but anyway it turned on the next day with vertical lines going up and down on boot up.
Then to my surprise after the boot up I had my phone working with all icons on all screens still in place. The problem though is the screen is now washed out. Colors are not clear and I need brightness set all the way up to see the screen.
The other problem is that when the screen times out or I turn the screen off myself, it may not turn back on. Just a faint backlit light comes on. If I keep hitting the power button to try to shut off the screen and back on, I keep getting the blank screen. One thing I found out recently is I don't have to do a battery disconnect to get things back. All I do is wait about two minutes, hit the power button and the screen turns back on. No shutdown needed.
Needless to say, I managed to fix what was almost a certain brick. It's been over a month and the phone is still going strong.
This week is definite purchasing of the 5. I can't wait.
