Texting overlay using hangouts? - AT&T LG G3

Well my question is that if there is any way to still get the texting overlay for quick reply and use the hangouts app at the same time. I ask this cause the g watch will only let me reply with voice with hangouts not with the stock app

That overlay is built into the messaging app.

So i guess there is no way to reply from g watch using stock messaging app either right? And anyway phone is to new and g watch is too so maybe in the future this can be addressed

well for the 50% off i got it for its awesome and comparing it to my original smartwatch its great, first impressions of the device are that it performs smooth and good, voice recognition is superb and for what it does i find that its pretty good, apps are not plentiful but that is because the device has been in the market for about a month i think, also the battery lasts a good while but i don't think you'll get away with two day usage, and for now impressions are good and the possibilities of apps are going to be amazing, the feel on the hand is not heavy nor to light and it has a good look, i recommend it, the moto g watch is a good looking device but if specs aren't as impressive as the g watch then looks would only go so far. sorry if it was a bit long but a good answer in short is this device is freaking awesome

I so should have gotten it at the deal. Can you talk on the phone though it yet. That's my #1, like way cool if you could. I hate holding a phone on speaker.

well att still has this deal going on so you can still get it and also the phone feels good to hold and before this i had an xperia tl so the jump in size is a bit hefty i might say but the phone feels good and on the ear its good to and speaker quality is good also and idk why i would even need a volume mod so its even louder cause right now it is plenty loud, but overall feel of the phone is that you know its big but it hides its dimensions pretty well, also if you buy it i had an issue with the glass screen protector in which screen was not sensitive enough sometimes, i went to the store and they refunded me the money back and i got the invisishield cause i had those on when i had my s3 and it was a pretty good screen protector but i noticed that the glass one actually i think needs to settle in for a few days before the phone sensitivity feels as it should cause i haven't taken the glass one off yet because it's working heaps better than day one, also if you also get the circle case and tryyy to get it at 50% off also cause the offer is supposed to be for only one accessory not for all the compatible ones then you can try and find a powermat package for the iphone 4/4s which is 10 bucks at att and comes with a powermat base and a battery backup so you can charge your device wirelessly and on the go, some say that when they used that particular powermat their device would charge to 100% but in the night it would discharge a bit but on my first day of use since i bought the powermat yesterday it held the charge at 100% and when i picked it up the battery stats showed that it was off the charger just when i took it off so no issues there, but honestly it is a great device and you'll certainly be happy with it ^^

S IV; smart accessories

Hi
s4 some new smart feature in software and octa core processor in international version also has some smart cases & covers
to see notification maybe
or brief of some info
to work with S health & etc
http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-8900_7-10016135-5.html
Accessories showed up at the unpacked 2013
i don't really understand the smart cover, is it not just a normal cover with a slot cut out of it?
what's smart about it?
EDIT - just watched cnet explaining it. that is quite clever.
but surely the entire screen is switched on behind the cover??
also, in the videos the only way they are able to switch it to s view is by opening the case - doesn't that defeat the purpose?
not released yet but something to work with S-Health & etc
Thats a cool idea. When I first saw it I was like wtf?

It appears to be magnetic but I don't understand how it displays the information without switching on the entire screen, in which case why not have a full screen of info.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 come with an AMOLED display which doesn't need additional backlight
that means that each pixels is emitting it's own light
and when the cover is on only the pixel that's displaying info is on
other pixels are told to be black so it's not using any power.... :angel:
This means that it will not turn on the entire screen like LCDs and will have better black levels

right, but anyone who's used NoLED (can find it in the market) can tell you, its not simply about how much of the screen is used or not.. its the wakelock keeping the phone from entering a deep sleep that turns your 10 day standby into a 3 hour standby..
Samsung is clever tho, so I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye. maybe its a solution to getting a notification and your pocket not bumping the screen keeping it on for an entire hour while you run...

All the S band and S scales are an exact copy of the Fitbit accessories which have been around for years and Fitbit announced their band in January. Seems Samsung have finished copying Apple and chosen new targets?
I am not complaining about Samsung but Fitbit have the same products available now which work with ANY android, Ios or other phone why would I buy one that only works with one of Samsung phones?
GamePad seems awesome! It'll take a huge chunk out of potential nvidia project shield sales lol. Same or better processing power, more portable, can be used as a phone. Game pad is dead before its launch.

Droid Maxx Build Quality Issues

Got my Droid Maxx last night as I ordered it from VZW a few days ago.
I was shocked to see the left side of the phone has a pretty significant gap. So much that when I squeeze the phone it comes together and makes a clicking/popping noise.
VZW is already sending a replacement as the local store doesn't have any in stock. The VZW salesperson at my local store also agreed that the phone should be gapless and not creak/crunch when touching the left side.
Unfortunately, I dont have a camera that is capable of taking a pic of it as the phone is black so its nearly impossible to see in a pic.
Anyone else seeing this issue ?
Not me. Glad are they fixing no questions asked.

Yep definitely sounds like you got a flawed unit. Mine is gapless, silent, and solid as a brick. Good luck with your replacement.

This is great news to me! Ha ha. No but really I have the exact same problem. And it does make the sound too. And the otterbox commuter case they gave me has a big gap on the rubber at the bottom by the back button. Guess I'll ask for a replacement?
FWIW I posted on the forums at Motorola and got a response from the forum manager so maybe they are going to investigate.
I certainly could not go two years (or even a month) with this issue. If replacement shows any sign of this problem then I will exchange for different phone.
I grow more attached to the Maxx every day but this creaking on a brand new device is killing the experience. With otterbox its even more pronounced and makes the phone feel hollow and cheap.
I will update as soon as replacement shows up tomorrow.
Surprised since this phone has a incredible build quality. The only thing I hate about this phone is the power button feels like crap that's it.

After calling verizon I was sent to a corporate store to exchange. The ppl were all hesitant to go ahead and do it. I'm like really? I rarely return anything.
The notifications were all messed up not just the volume unsynced with the ring volume but it would only beep not play the ring tones.
After looking at a new in box maxx, I was dissatisfied. The gaps on it were worse than what I have now. So hopefully a software patch is released for the volumes.

Got Replacement... Same Issues!!!
Received replacement from VZW last night...
Same exact issue which leads me to believe this is in deed a build quality issue.
Both phones have the same gap between the back of the screen and the phone back. If you slightly squeeze the left side, you can see it moving and separating.
Both phones have a click/creak about half way up the left side.
I use an otterbox which unfortunately, changes from rubber to plastic right at the point the click happens and results in a hollow feeling.
Is it livable ? Yes, but it's really annoying.
There is also a lot of flex on the back of the phone (both the same).
Terrible. The other ones I looked at were even worse than mine.
Played with a new LG g2 today. Quadrant score of 16000 vs galaxy s4 12000 vs droid maxx at 8000. Beautiful display. Battery is 3000 mah. Can't beat the 199 price tag.

Quite a few people are now complaining of the gap issue. Not to mention there is no way in hell this device is water resistant with the gaps.
Not to mention, the volume rocker is very loose and makes noise with the slightest touch. Probably due to the fact that it hides the SIM card holder and is very fragile.
People are complaining of light bleed at the bottom of the device.
And I have noticed that the capacitive buttons are very inconsistent in brightness compared to each other.
I was loving active notifications but at this point forget it. Time to exercise my Worry Free Guarantee.
I was lucky enough to get a tier 2 tech support at vzw to recommend return/exchange as well as noting it in my account.

No build quality issues with mine, it's a tank, and it's heavy "Heavy is sign of reliability, and if it doesn't work, at least you can hit him with it" (said in a thick Russian accent) bonus points if you know what movie that is from
My first Maxx (RIP due to physical damage, my fault) had a small space and creak where you described, though only very slight. I asked on the G+ Droid Maxx forum and nobody else had the issue. My second Maxx is flawless.

Anyone return your M8....why?

I am seriously considering it. I have tried so hard to get used to the long phone with power button on top. I cannot get to the notification bar without a shimmy which scares me I'll drop it.
I went and played with the S5 today and it does not have any of the lag the S4 had. They made TW similar to Sense where a scroll left brings up "My Magazines" like Blinkfeed. It feels great in hand and I can reach the bar and power button with no problem.
Nope, not here. I love how people always tell me how nice my phone looks. You won't get that from a galaxy phone.
True
If you don't like it go for it. But I'm not letting this go. I balance the phone on my pinky and I can reach the status bar easily.

I fyou use Nova launcher you can set gestures. I have a downward single finger swip set to pull down the notification panel and a 2 finger swipe down open quick settings as an example which would completely do away with your issue.

Coming from a G2 , I am very happy with the switch. Definitely keeping mine.
Was between this and the S5, and I just can't stand it. Played with it at my local best buy and just felt super cheap, TouchWiz is horrendous, and just couldnt stand it!
Nova launcher:
-swipe down to open notifications
-swipe up to open quicksettings
-double tap to sleep (with the help of 'screen off and lock donate edition').
Haven't had any size problems after that!

I think I might return mine on Monday and order another online to take advantage of the 30% off coupon or the $50 off at the very least. I have one tiny tiny scratch on it (slipped out of my pocket getting out of the car). So in that case I wouldn't mind getting a new one, 50 or 60 bucks back in the pocket would be a bonus. I think I can live without a device for the 2 days it takes to ship.
i will be keeping my m8 for the long run and never going back to samsung, enough said

Several people have mentioned that it's an online only offer but I called in to customer service and told them that I would be returning it if I could not get the extra $60 off and they finally credited my account. Verizon customer service has been pretty good with me and they even credited back my $35 activation fee and I will get an additional $100 credit on my account in the next couple billing cycles. So, the price I paid was about $60 after taxes and bill credits.
I thought about returning mine for a new m8, got mine on release day. Noticed my speaker grills are partially plugged up from bad manufacturing. . A buddy just got one and his arent nearing as bad. Under my microscope at work you can see white plastic burrs and junk.

Nope. Last year I went through all that Galaxy had.. And always wanted more.. Then I got the m7, loved everything about it.. Missed the SD card though.. So I went back to the note 3, which had some noticeable lag in areas that the m8 does not. I can safely say that I won't be giving this phone up for a long time.
I love the power button up top, makes more sense to me... And sense ui is the cleanest ui when compared to tw and the like.
When we get s-off and custom roms, this phone will be that much sweeter.

Zerolemon 7500mah battery (review somewhat)

Ok today i got my zerolemon samsung galaxy s5 7500mah battery, all i got to say is that thing is big and bad, the one thing i really don't like is the way the tpu case fits a bit loose around my phone, for those wondering about the heart rate monitor it is easy to use since your finger lands on the sensor, the phone don't weigh too much as i thought it will, but i will post more after the first charge cycle
My brother had one of these on his s4, and it reminded me of this image. I just don't get it. If you manage your device and ensure that you disable unused applications and services then you can easily get a day of use. Tripling the size of the phone vs. tweaking what it actually does. To each their own, either way thank you for the review, I'm sure that the case fit issue is valuable information for those who are looking at these as a purchase option.

Depends on usage. I use mine all the time for work and I can barely get through a day without needing some extra juice. So if you are one that NEEDS an extra battery like this its perfect.
I loved mine for the s3. The case felt a little loose on it but i still got used to it. I am concerned by the last of waterproofing but if the battery performs will probably get one. Please let us know asap how it performs.

I love the 10000mah version for my note3, Does well when I go on my 3-4 day camping hikes, I like the way it feels in my hand, Still waiting to receive my battery for the S5, You got yours early! I preordered mine 2 weeks ago.
Just ordered mine today (Going to have to wait to it ships to the UK though) loved the S3 version. Never went wrong with anything zerolemon
Already sold out on amazon.com I think
That's a little overkill, don't you think? Even heavy smartphone users get a day's (10-12 hours) of use out of their phone. I mean that big of a battery would seriously get annoying to me. Turn your brightness down man.
I get about 8hrs regular battery, even with 25% brightness. Power users we are and that juice is what it keep us away from being attached to a charger... Attached to a wire.
I got my pre-order on the 16th, And I'm returning it, I'm hoping I got a defective case & battery.
Case doesn't seem to hold battery in that well, I can knock the back of the case and the phone will reboot or shut off completely.
The case seems very loose along the sides as well, I think due to them packing the box and & battery inside of the case while shipping which seemed to stretch the case out a bit making it loose on the sides.
I'm going to ask for a replacement, if it's the same issues on the next one I'm asking for a refund.

I had this battery for the S3, I loved it. However I don't want to lose the waterproofing on the S5, and I think the case is ugly this time around..
Anyway after rooting and installing the Infinity ROM, I get 2 days of moderate use out of the stock battery..
So for the $50 price of that battery, I instead bought the 18600mah Zerolemon Juicebox.. Same price, 2 1/2 times more power..
I can charge my phone 7 times without having to recharge the Juicebox.. It also charges 2 phones while charging the Juicebox at the same time, most battery packs can't do that.. Plus with the USB 3.0 cable, it charges my phone from dead in 90 minutes..
I have a bag on me at all times, so carrying it around is no biggie.. It's the size of my phone..
http://goo.gl/XVObHn
p.s. - They should pay me for this lol.. but yea, I'm happy
Got mine of Friday last week.
Followed the instructions to charge if without disturbance for twelve hours before using. I am at sixty percent now and am beginning to think it will last me one week per charge. I stream pandora when in car with bluetooth, play games, surf internet, check all emails once an hour, update facebook three times a day, send texts and receive calls about three or four an hour, cast netflix and youtube, update weather once every hour, keep screen on auto brightness, never turn off wifi, etc. Unreal performance from this battery. I'm actually looking forward to using a charger! But they say do not do it until the phone reaches 2 percent. So I wait.... The case does seem a little loose to me and I don't really care for the style, but aesthetics aside, a real good bang for the buck!!!! I would highly recommend for anyone who would actually like a real uncorded phone that can be used for a good week at a time without worrying about a charger cable and what not. :good:
So on my first use I was able to use the phone with heavy use, WiFi always on, Bluetooth on in car, Pandora streaming with screen on, emails checked every 2 hours, Weather updated every two hours, Games like spades, hearts, some other graphically intense ones, Calls and SMS, some pictures and web surfing total time to 2%: 5 days, 22 hours, 56 minutes, 59 seconds. The owner of ZeroLemon said that they will be sending me a better case as soon as they get them and hope that it will fit the phone a little better, however even though the case I have is a little mushy, it does stay on. Very easy to remove which could be a good or bad thing depending how you look at it. So far I would rate the battery with a five star and the case with a two. Definitely like not having to plug the phone in every night and everytime I'm in the car.
I'll receive mine soon. I can't wait to see how it will goes. On previous phone I bought mugen one which are X2 more expensive than this one.
It's good to know they'll replace the case.

Wonder if the "looseness" is a problem with the first batch of cases? I had a ZL on a Note 2 and the tpu was perfect, never gave any signs it would easily come off. I'm getting a S5 just to have a ZL, hope they fix this issue.

First cycle done. Only used ultra power saving for the night.
It should get better after a few cycle, but I'm already in love with it.

Id like to get this battery but part of me wants to wait for a zeroshock case like what i had on my Note 3.

Question about the scent of my battery

Hey guys. The other day I dismantled my nexus to replace my cracked housing and of course that involved removing the battery. I removed my battery by prying at it gently with a screw driver (mistake, I know) and it came out pretty easily. I flipped it over and saw I created a small scratch on the bottom of the battery. As far as I can see it isn't punctured but now my phone smells like spearmint. Is my battery screwed? It still works and everything I am just a little worried that I keep getting wafts of battery mint.

You have mercury poisoning, see a doctor ASAP.
Edit: I made the same mistake as well with a tablet, the moment I felt that smell which was rather sweet, the battery was dead.

In my experience, yes, your battery is now doomed to failure... I believe that the smell you can smell is the electrolyte, which is now slowly but surely escaping as your battery is no longer sealed

Damn. I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer. I guess I'll wait and see I'd my batt is dying faster than normal. Do you know if it is dangerous?

I don't know for sure that it is dangerous, but I'd go on the side of caution and say yes. Depending on how bad it was bent / punctured, I've seen them go on to swell up from there on in as well. I'd get a new one and pop it in

Yea. Thanks for the insight. I'll go ahead and order one off of eBay. I took a look on there a minute ago and luckily there are ones available to be shipped from ft Lauderdale. I'm in Orlando so it works out. I'll update when I get the new one to let you guys know if I get better performance with the new battery and what the battery in question looks like.
