So does mine, but last time it didn't work.
It got to 92% and then failed. I tried it probably 20 times in a row, rebooting etc. before giving up.
It failed at the same spot every time.

List for apps that cause random reboots

After installing some apps,I restarted my phone and ran into a continuous boot loop. Even after pulling the battery and powering on the phone.i suspected it to be an app I installed. I am not rooted nor has the phone been rooted. So I created this tread so that anyone has come across and have ideal of the conflicting app and posted it hear and to avoid Panic

Wtf? That shouldn't happen at all to you! I'm off to research it now and will let you know what I find out.

I think I noticed this also, but I am rooted with TWRP. I noticed if I perform a restart, my phone will boot up get to the final load of the lock screen for 1 second then reboot 1 more time and loads up ok. This kind of worries me a little :/

Notisync

I found this app though a bunch of searching. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.notisync)
I think it is close to getting us to seeing notifications from any app on the gear. So, far with things set up the way I have them it only vibrates/rings when I get something. It could be that I don't have hangouts installed on my watch (didn't want the google apps...didn't see a need).
Could someone with the google apps (and possibly the status bar installed via Aroma) test this out and see if it gets us further?
Only other thread I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560308 It mentions battery life issues. I'll test these out tomorrow.
Overnight the watch went down to 87% battery. I may try again tonight without it justvto see.
I can choose to get notifications on my gear from all of my phone apps without this.
Am I not understanding something with this thread?
I think I'm a bit lost here too. I can get notifications from any app on my phone without this app.

I wouldn't say badly. I'm able to spend an entire day at Disneyland (about 16 hours) getting/checking notifications using this and still have enough battery power for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. Sure you would get better battery life without it - but you would also get no notifications (non-touchwiz) without it too.
Is this similar to ATN MANAGER

Tried it probably 20 times and never got a reaction.
I changed speeds, went right to center to right, just right to center etc. Guess it just doesn't like me lol

Very starnge. do you have multiwindow off when trying to use it?
Yeah, I've tried everything except switch back to stock launcher. I think that's where my problem lies. It doesn't play well with Google Now Launcher.
I'm using the stock launcher, tried with multi window on and off and still got nothing.

Now you got me wondering if mine works with stock. I'll try it later ...
I gave up, started getting irritated and didn't want to throw my brand new phone across the room over something petty lol

Just tried stock launcher and it does not work on my phone either. I noticed in running apps it continues to run even though its shut off. So I cleared app. Cashe and tried again. Still didn't work so I turned it of and stopped the app. Then turned it back on still don't work. Tried rebooting with on and still nothing.
Dont swipe to fast do it a bit slower it works everytime...,like you guys i had difficulties to get because i was swiping too fast...

Just got it, it wasn't the speed but **rather the **short pause I had before going back to the right. Once I made a more smooth stroke it worked.

Not sure exactly what your saying. I did a factory reset and still can't get it to do anything.

Did 'OK Google now call...' get faster?

Anybody else notice the 'OK Google now call <name>' got faster or is it just me?
I wonder if it had to do with the new Motorola modality update.

Been using it a lot lately and its pretty slow for me. It says, “Calling“ twice before actually dialing out. It takes about a minute+ to call out as opposed to me just opening the phone and doing it myself.

You have a big problem then. Really? A full minute plus?

Has it sideways taken that long?
Have you tried doing a factory reset or maybe clearing the cache for touchless control.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. But to wait more than a minute to dial is actually a long time. #fwp

I only started using it a few days ago when I'm driving and it's always been slow. Yes, I've tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and what not. I just figured it was supposed to be slow.

No sarcasm at all. If it's taking that long then you do have a big problem.

Get Eclipse root only or unlocked. Its Google search works great.

Play Services keeps crashing...

I don't know why it's happening. I put the phone down for the night last night and everything was fine, upon picking it up today the error started popping every few minutes several times in a row, without seeming provocation.
I'm including the Stack trace. It seems to involve MediaDrm Provisioning and gms.
I'm rooted and s-off 4.3, 3.05.651.6.

Anyone have any idea at all how to make it stop? It pops the error up every few seconds for a good minute at a time. Shouldn't there be something I can do with my phone rooted to make it stop?

Have you tried force stopping and clearing the cache for Google play services?

Yup. Even tried uninstalling the update and updating it again. No go. ; ;

Actually, I lied. I did the uninstall update/reinstall, but never did clear the cache. That seems to be working for the moment.
What do you think may have caused it, since it seems to have happened while I was asleep?

Not sure, maybe something got corrupted during the update. Anytime a app starts acting up that's the first thing I do. Glad it's resolved.
