what is the top speaker or w/e it is on the g2x, I'd imagine it was there for a reason and not just for design but I haven't heard any sound for it.
the one right above the T-Mobile logo? It's an ear piece, the one you put to your ear to talk on the phone...
oh rofl dumb me thanks
Hahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!

This is priceless... he said he never "heard any sound coming out of it"... LOL... I hope he typed that on his computer 'while' talking on the phone. He had that moment when you ask someone were your sunglasses are while wearing them.

I thought that was a stock feature? Didn't try it until CM7 though so maybe it's a CM feature.

So my friend got herself a Galaxy s 3 and loves the thing to death. Right now was we speak she is on a shopping spree looking up pink accessories for her phone. She asked me to find her a pink alarm clock/charging station/stereo for her phone. I have not found a single thing like this at all. I know they have plenty of stuff for apple products such as http://www.lowes.com/pd_162080-63374-RC130IPK_0__?productId=3680746 or http://speakal.com/xc/product.php?productid=3 but is there anything at all similar for android? Or im not sure if this is possible but is there any way to buy a converter that can snap on to that thing that will let me hook up an android device to it?

Due to my lack of posts can't post the exact link but if you search "Sinjimoru Sync Stand Charge Dock Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S3 S2 Android & Other MicroUSB Devices (VIVID PINK)" It's the only thing close to what you may be looking for while I was looking for a dock for myself.
You can get pink spray paint at Ace Hardware...

Seems like a fun thing to play around with, but I almost never hold my phone directly facing my eyes. I tried using the smart stay feature before I switched to an AOSP ROM and it seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. It's a great idea though. Maybe they need to put a second fisheye camera on the front of the device to detect eye movement in a greater area

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

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!
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 have some ideas for it. It's on my "under consideration" list. But I've never used my headset, so could take a while. What does the headset do in normal use? When not in a phone call, it doesn't do anything in any other app? When in a call, it toggles the phone?

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.
