ive always wanted a futuristic looking wrist mounted computer system, like the ones you see in futuristic films. now with small touch screen android phones like the ZTE blade and samsung apollo/galaxy 3 i think it might be possible.
the dimensions are about right to fit as a touch screen computer on a wrist: 55mm wide, 12mm thick.
but i want it to be funtional for every day use, not just a gimmick. I was wondering if anyone knew any way to link 2 phones together so that text messages sent to my HTC desire HD will appear on the screen of my wrist mounted phone, like on the sony liveview? and incoming calls will appear on the wrist phone?
i would be able to tether my wrist phone to my desire HD by wifi to use the 3g, (i only want to use 1 sim card, the one in my desire hd) but i cant think of anyway to do what the sony liveview did and display caller ID, emails and text messages from the desire to the wrist? any ideas?
EDIT: ive just found this. this summarises exactly what i want to do with a phone, with pictures.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/general-dynamics-gd300-is-the-pip-boy-that-runs-android/
does anyone think it is possible? and anyone know a way to link it to my desire HD so texts, phone calls and emails show up on the wrist phone as well?
Why not just get a Android cell phone watch?
Or a smart watch which connects via bluetooth
ive not seen any, can you name some or link to them? ive been looking, but not found any. the only one ive seen was the sony liveview.
ive seen some watches that have limited intergration, with a little 4mm high 8 character scroller behind the watch hands, but i really want something full blown ridiculous and actually useful.
Lol ever seen Grandma's boy?
Sorry I don't mean to b rude but that just sounds super-nerdy. Someone had to say it.

Unfortunately i'd have to say i agree... where i live in the UK it would just be a painted target for someone to rob you
It would be super nerdy but that's why I think it would be awesome. I live in the uk too, and I know I could get robbed but still. I just think it would be awesome, in a very nerdy way.
Generally I am very nerdy, I wear t shirts of games merchandise, have pac man as my ring tone, have an xbox in every ripon of my house.... I have a spartan helmet from halo as my belt buckle.
in still gonna do it, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to link the phones.
U can use the Google voice app to link sms.
Thank you bling, very helpful.
Now I just need a way to link caller id.
I should just be able to put my google if on the watch phone and pick up my emails in either my main phone or the watch?
Just sellotape your regular Android phone to your arm.
Job done.
Yes. I have my google account on both my n1 and g-slate and whenever i get an email it pops up on both.
yay looking forward to the wrist cancer this will cause
Why is this so 'new'?
It think it's already possible.
Some tape, a nice phone. voila!
It would be nice, but a normal phone of these days would have a too big screen for my taste.
I've a bluetooth-watch, its freakin' awesome!
Wrist cancer? Thats like saying when your phone is in your pocket youll get thigh cancer or hand cancer when yur holding it.... Highly unlikley

I don't think its a new concept, just that previously it wouldn't be possible due to the high price of touchscreen phones.
Now that I can get an android handset for 50 quid I think its a viable idea.
I was gonna use one of those exercise arm band cases to hold it on my wrist rather than tape, but same idea.
I wish the nokia x6 ran android, that phone has the perfect dimensions for my wrist.
At the moment it looks like it might be the zte blade aka san francisco, or the samsung galaxy 3. Both are slim and light and cheap to buy.
Also saw the motorola flip out earlier for 50 quid, but I think its too big.
Fossil Meta watch. $200.

Curious about rooting and what roms/kernels are compatible since there isnt a dedicated section for the PLUS version, Any links to rooting and roms/kernels would be great
No answer for your question but I like to be the first to congratulate you from the xda members and we would like you to give us more details about this magneficant machine I hope it will be my second tab 3g version

yes, there isn't a dedicated section for the 7.0 plus yet but a lot of people are posting in the tab 10.1 thread. As for rooting, it should be the same procedure and same root.zip as the tab 8.9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330581&page=3
just ask away and ill do my best to answer and thanks for the link!
Got one too about two Weeks ago, what do you think of yours? I love mine!
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
deff the device of choice in my book. i had the 8.9 for a lil under 2 weeks and returned it for this when it was released and im deff satisfied with my purchase
The root was simple using the same method. I wonder if we'll see any development, it seems like everyone is waiting for 7.7. I mentioned this in another thread but one nice thing is how this will play just about any video as opposed to Tegra tablets. And the battery life kicks the Acer 7" across the room, not to mention build quality.
Oh and the Peel software is surprisingly good!
ya i love it! i think 10 inch tablets are too big, a 7-8 inch tablet is right in between a phone and a labtop so i think its alot better. no better 7 inch than this one thats for sure
Came from original Galaxy Tab w/ GB ROM. I just got mine, too - interested in root. my RAZR has a new buddy.
Just got one too... love it.... plus better than 10.1 cause we have exynos
i tried the Peel app last night. First thing it wanted to do is "update" itself, but now it won't complete setup as it keeps FC'ing as it's trying to figure out my receiver. I wish it would set up like the harmony app for my 1100 - it seems to make some assumptions of how my theater's set up and i can't workaround the wizard so it never finishes setup.
Would be better if i could tell it the model numbers of my devices instead of trying to "help" me.
Just wonder if some Droid wizard here can extract HC-Rom & load it on the regular 7" tab...?

Please post the link to download the file for 8.9 tab to root it
Just picked mine up also, gonna root it here in a minute, so I'll let us know anyone know if there is a cyanogen port yet?

I really hope the Galaxy 7+ gets its own dedicated section on here. This is an insanely powerful device and wit the correct ROM it could be even greater.
I also feel the 7.7 will probably not be out until summer of next year. It makes no sense for Samsung to bring it out any earlier as that would kill the sales of the 8.9 and the 7+. It would be a shame if this tablet didn't get more attention considering it is the highest end 7" tablet on the market right now.
I an barely find accessories for this thing
How can we ask a MOD for a dedicated section for the 7+, that way we're not stuck searching through the 10.1 and 8.9 sections?
Also as far as roms go it sounds like we'll have to wait a bit, the source kernel has been released by Samsung so nothing stopping a developer, but we need a developer that has one of these and wants to work on it. (I'll donate to your tab plus fund, if you're out there!) In the case of the 10.1 and 8.9 the roms are mostly the same and can be interchanged once the .boot file is changed out for the correct device, but I think since we're going from Tegra 2 to Exynos if we want a ROM for the 7+ the procedure will be a lot different. Something about the cifs.ko file... Anyone know that that is? lol sorry pretty noob here, I just flash droids and nooks for my friends and expect xda to have all of the answers already...
Edit1: looks like you can just upvote over at another post and if we get enough votes the mod's create a new section for us.
Hi guys. Im just wondering if your tab creaks a little bit when you press the left side of the screen where the micro sd card is located. Thanks

Definitely not. My old Tab7 used to creak in a number of spots. Not this one.

How hard are you pressing?
I just put mine in my chair and sat on it. No creak. (Well, the chair creaked some.) There was an sharp "crack" sound, though.
Doesn't anyone elses tab make a sharp "CRACK!" sound when you sit on it?

Got it today and like it very much except for a couple of things so far.
1. No charge indicator light on device, charger, or charging cord. How do you tell it has finished charging without turning it on?
2. Apparently cannot view gmail full screen in either portrait or landscape mode. It keeps a list pane open on side of screen. Most annoying and I can't find any way to make it go away.
Is there a way to only use the wacom digitizer? For example if I want to use a note taking application that doesn't have palm rejection?
I know the lenovo thinkpad tablet has this easily accesible from double tapping the clock...
Is there anything out there?

i think when the s pen tip is near the screen, touch wont works probably
In the settings menu -> pen .. you will see option to disable pen when it's in the slot.

You're right. Just tried it. Even when the floating dot from pen on screen, finger touches or whatever won't register.
Samsung & Sprint do jot know this!

I just want to thank you for your post. I spent over an hr with both Samsung and Sprint (over and hr each). I was promised that there was no way to use the new enhanced s-pen (ok, not so new as I think it as originally made for the Note 1) with out first removing the s -pen from the phone on the Note 2. I just could not imagain such an oversight. Your post gave me the answer and what makes me so upset is that it is an obvious answer, one you would have expected Samsung or sprint to have ready to answer via their internal knowlege base. I have so ma y other questions I have asked them with out any kind of reasonable answer, I find myself wondering if I should ever call either if these companies Again!
So a bug thanks for at least uncovering this answer!
This said, if there is a way to get some clarity on other posts I have read regarding the own itself, I would be once again greatful. As I understand it, there is a two button pen plus "eraser " out there which was originally made for IBM, but which will work with the Note 2, with all three buttons (2 on side and one on top) usable by the apps hilt in on the Note 2 as it currently stands. Is this true, or just a rumor. If true, what us the name or model number so I can order? Just figured it would nit hurt to ask.
Again, thank you for your help. Your first note above has helped me a great deal and has made fools of both the phone's maker and the service provider, and I guess myself as well for thinking that either would be if any real help.
Regards, Dan
I think it kind of sucks, but when you have a large company with so many different devices (I mean, look at the number of tablets and phones that samsung puts out vs apple), there are bound to be a large number of people who don't know because they won't care (samsung's fault for not reinforcing it more the way apple does) because they're a large company as stated.
Is this it?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stylus-Galaxy-Eraser-ET-S200EBEGSTA/dp/B00A3XUT6Y
I think Samsung also sells it from their online store as a mobile accessory (so you can use the promo code and get like 50% off).
I have this pencil myself, it comes from Samsung and works like a charm. The upper end works as eraser (if supported by the app) and it is better to handle than the original one which can remain inside the Note.
Hello,
I really love the look of the Note and the ideas behind it but I am unsure about this vs Nexus. I was wondering if you guys could answer some of my questions?
1. Is the screen really that bad, all the reviews on the internet say it is a disappointment but is it? Or are they just counting pixels?
2. Can the S pen be used everywhere? For example, if I was doing this post a Note 10.1 could I have hand written it and if so is it worth hand writing it or just using an on screen keyboard?
3. I am worried that if I get the Note over the Nexus, that the Note will be left behind after all the models receive Jelly Bean. Do you guys think it'll get left behind?
Thank you!
Check the multitude of other threads regarding this topic. I just bought one a week ago. All of my fears similar to yours quickly faded away. Yes, the s pen can be used everywhere, and yes it is amazing. It does suck waiting for jelly bean, but we will get it soon. Just know that even with ICS your tablet will do things no other tablet in the world can. Take the plunge!

Like I say in pretty much every thread, this tablet has pen input and if you need it then you'll love it regardless of the screen and build quality. That's not to say that the screen is bad, it's 'good enough'.
Ok I had a look at the sony z ultra today the 6.4" screen one and it looked amazing, the picture whilst watching a movie was better than my tv!
However I have a Samsung galaxy note, im not getting the note 3 as its to small, I prefer samsungs BUT the current galaxy mega 6.3" specs arnt that good compared to the sony.
I have heard that they should be bringing out a galaxy mega with S4 specs or something like that so my questions are -
Does anyone know if they are actually bringing a better mega out?
and
Anyone got any personal reviews on the Z ultra? looked online at reviews but would rather ask someone who has one
Im in the UK so needs to be a UK phone
Thanks
Yes, I am using the Xperia Z Ultra and it is phenomenal
I don't see why anyone would get a Galaxy Mega over this.

really can I ask you a few questions please, I WONT be getting the current mega but like I said I spoke to a Samsung rep she mentioned a newer one may be coming out this year with better specs so I am tempted to wait for that if its true?
So yeh -
How long have you had it, just as if you have installed all your stuff do you ever find it running slow or laggy at all?
Whats the battery like on it, will it last a day if you use it for the odd texts and phone calls etc?
Do you ever find applications/games that are unable to play as it may not support the phone at all?
Think that's it for now ill let you know if I have any more.
Could you also let me know if there are any problems or any good things you can share at all with it please?
Thanks
Battery easily lasts a day. Would require recharge at night though. No, this thing doesn't slow down at all. It does have the faste. processor available. And 2 gb of ram is plenty enough to multitask without the any app foreclosing.
