Received a Surprising Message from Tmo to RESTART

Tmo sent a message to restart my N4 for better experience. Last time I restarted it was 12/19. My phone is running just fine!
This never happened to me. I used to restart my old phone almost every day. This made my day.

this is an alert u can turn off in my account app

It's a feature of their downloadable My Account/My Device app. It will deliver notifications when you reach your plan minutes, when your battery starts running low, and when it's been a long time since you rebooted. There's other stuff, all of which is disable-able Some of this stuff has been on that app for 3 years, back when you really did need to reboot on a weekly basis and not all phones delivered battery alerts.

Yeah I just turned it off on my sensation. That app is only good for telling you how many minutes you have left

I had NO tmo apps on my phone...even though I got mine through a tmo store and was very happy....I could not imagine someone voluntarily installing any carrier apps...

This message comes from the My Account app for T-Mobile which I (and probably other people) use to keep track of minute, text, and data usage.
I also installed T-Mobile Visual Voicemail so I wouldn't waste minutes calling my voicemail.
Most carrier apps suck, but I find these two very useful

Do you have to be a t mobile subscriber to get that price?

With great respect only you can answer that. The online operating manual is now available for the Sony site. I would suggest you go read it and see if it will perform what you expect of a smart watch or not. Ones mans trash is another mans gold etc..........
Regards.

Thanks...you are correct about what "I" expect from the device. As long as it sends all my texts and emails I'll be good. I work in a dirty factory and hate pulling out my phone

I have it and its ok you can see the text but you cant answer text and you cant respond to text like other smart watches i might return it after a week, theres not many apps either im kinda disappointed

You can reply to anything using s-voice no on-board keyboard. Loving this thing so far and the phone is a big improvement over the note2 (and I loved that phone too).
Absolutely room for improvement and not many apps.. yet. Patience people.

Still waiting 4 stocks here in saudi would like to see demo units

The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.

can you share a picture taken from great and upload straight to Facebook

Not from the Gear directly, but you can quite easily transfer to the smartphone and then, share from the phone.

its growing on me but it needs playstore access its so good but its bad. the speaker phone is unbelievable the viewing of text is great and this is the best s voice i ever used and i hate s voice, but the bad is the apps the apps is horrible. it needs three things 1. the ability to answer a text with a built in keyboard. 2. Play store access. 3. micro sd slot. If I could get 1 and 2 Ill be happy other than that Im probably going to return it based on google announcement on oct 31

Zite

Just a heads up...my favorite news app, Zite, is available for the gear now. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that useful. It displays the title and a picture of a few of your top stories but you can not read any of the content. A 'read it on your device' button will bring up the story on your phone. It is very nice to look at, at least.

Thanks. It's one of my favorites too. The gear app only shows headlines, but it's still nice to see known vendors coming to the gear

So what you want exactly?? Read the whole story on your watch??? Really??
I think you all got the wrong idea what this watch is.. It is a companion accesory. So the Zite app does exactly what it needs to do. Keeping you from getting your phone out of your pocket for everything. Maybe without the watch you will grab your phone 10 times but 4 times there is nothing to read. But you scrolled and you screen lit up. So those 4 times you can leave your phone in your pocket cause you can see the headlines on your watch and pich precisley what you want to see.

Can you help me understand exactly what the Zite app does then? So far, as I can tell, it brings up one story when you launch it and that is it. You touch the screen and it takes you to the app. Are there other functions?

It shows you the headlines... You can swipe from right to the left to see the headlines if you see a good one press it. And it will open in the Zite app on your phone. Less bigscreen lit up so better battery on phone.... Less anyoing phone zombies lol..

Ah the swipe was not working before.. More useful now that I can see multiple articles. I would actually read some of these on the watch if it was supported.

BBM for android is here!

Waiting for my confirmation email now.

Any one else notice a pattern for all the reviews for this app.
"Thank you so much BlackBerry team. I was waiting this app. Its really great user friendly and smooth."

They are working with Google to remove these fake reviews

Oddly enough, I was able to sign up without getting the email by just putting my email into the app for a second time.

Bypass email or queue wait for BBM activation
Do not wait for Email confirmation/ or do not wait for blackberryto put you on the top of the queue. Simply use your friend's email address who has activated BBM. Then on screen 2 use your own email id to create new BB ID.

Got in today; the turnaround seems to only be a day or so. Now, to find others who are already here.......
Was trying to get my wife on this app; she has always said the one thing BB did right was the messaging app. Meanwhile, I did a fresh ROM install and now the app won't get past setup. Uninstalled....

Why does everyone want BBM what is the benefit of it over other means on android?

Dunno, none of my friends are on it so I already uninstalled

XDA app and Amazon app get stuck?

Has anyone else noticed that the XDA app sometimes loads a thread immediately and then other times it gets "stuck" where it can take a very long time to load? When it gets stuck, I can click back and then click the same thread again, which sometimes will load it quickly. I notice the exact same behavior in the Amazon app when clicking a product. It happens on both WiFi and LTE and has happened with every version of android so far on the N6.
I use XDA and Amazon all the time so this is a particularly frustrating issue for me.
UPDATE: here is a video demonstrating the problem with the Amazon app:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g

Which XDA app? Theres like a million of them. One of the tapatalk versions?

I'm using the XDA premium app.
I'm not convinced that it's an issue specific to the app though because I didn't notice this on my Nexus 4 and the exact same issue happens in the Amazon app.

XDA premium is based on Tapatalk and Tapatalk has problems on this forum. Its specific to this forum too, because taptalk works fine on other forums I use. I think the API on XDA for Tapatalk is outdated and since XDA are working on their own new XDA app (XDA One), they're probably not going to be too bothered to fix it.
Not sure about Amazon

Tapatalk has gone into the toilet over the years at this point I would honestly pay to go back to an old version. The iOS version is such a monstrosity and just so horrible its at the point of being unusable. if the thread I want actually comes up and displays I feel like I've won something.
Sent from my Google N6 on VZ

Thanks for the replies. Seems like this might be something a new XDA app could fix.
Here is a quick video I made showing the Amazon issue:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g
The first 2 products open fast and then the third gets stuck. I click back and re try 5 times and on the last try, it opens fast like the first 2 did. Anyone else have this issue with Amazon?

Yes you are correct ..Those are the worse two apps to get "stuck".. Only other app is WWE SUPERCARD..Every other app is fine..I do believe it is app issues not phone related.
