I own an SmartBand and I feel it has room for a lot of improvement, specially on the App side. I have used it only for a couple of days and I feel a bit dissapointed, today it didn't sync my sleep data , maybe it's because I use it with a Note3. The app sometimes starts a second instance of itself and starts all the account set up again...
Conclusion, the software is rather close to beta quality. I hope Sony is working on it

I got my Z2 plus Smartband yesterday and I'm very excited about the possibilities with regards to apps.
The thing that WOW'd me is the fact that I can use it to play/pause/skip/prev ANY android music player by just tapping. Cannot wait to see what the devs come up with.

Don't you think that it might be because of note 3

Could be but the Note 3 is listed in the supported devices

I've been using the smartband for three weeks now (in combo with my Xperia ZR and Tablet Z) and it works fine.Never had any problems.
Accuracy of the stepcounter seems to be not very good but for comparing between days it works just fine. Sleeptracker is an nice feature which works really well. The lifelog app can also keeps track of your app usage, even on multiple devices (in my case phone and tablet).
Only thing which I find a bit disappointing is that the smartband doesn't recognize when I'm cycling or riding a motor vehicle (which does work when using the phone sensors).
The lifelog app can be used without a smartband, using the phone sensors, but still good for testing the app. This has a quite large impact on battery but I could still make it through the day.

New "best" Android music-app --> Songbird! :)

Hey folks!
Just have (unintended) found the new Songbird App in the market...and impressed as I am, I thought it would be worth sharing the news (while hoping that not everybody here knew the app before me?!)
Coming from PowerAmp, I´m really overwhelmed by it´s functionality and look and feel (not that straight Iphone clone many of these other musicplayers are)...just try it yourselves-- https://market.android.com/details?id=com.songbirdnest.mediaplayer&feature=search_result
...one thing: the baby hasn´t an EQ...I hope they will integrate it with the next update, than it may be a great warrior to throw PowerAmp from it´s throne

Nothing wrong with PowerAMP - I thing so. Currently, I use it and is the best for me.
I guess everyone likes something new. A lot of people like the changes.
Besides, competition creates development

Absolutely nothing! I´m just not really touched by the design...and the very important difference, beside what spalm has meantioned before, Songbird is for free!
Hmmmm still prefer winamp to the rest. Prefer the Widgets and lockscreen. Hyperdroid rom has nice music quality so don't need power amps eq. Worst comes to the worst ill just use dsp

I checked the application.
It's simple, clean and looks good. I do not know how to download the cover - is it even possible in this app. Small personalization options. For me, there are several things missing in it. But it is a good alternative because (what brooon has already wrote) it is free
For me still the best is PowerAMP

Serious Battery Drain!!! - Help

I just moved from an iPhone so I am not sure if what I am having is anything serious. Battery seems to be dropping much faster than I am used to seeing.
Phone takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to charge, it's speedy but battery was draining pretty quickly so I rooted and installed LiquidSmooth.
It says that the process names Android OS is taking 81 percent of my battery.
Things are still as they were, I am not sure what do next. Any help or pointing to the right thred would be very appreciated.

See this one too, if it helps identifying whether the discharge is normal or not!
What did you modify?
It seems that something keep your phone awake more then it should be.
Try to unistal apps that runing in background (those snapdragon apps, 56% stuff) and etc.
Fast dormancy also has possibility to cause high Android OS, you may try to look if your carrier support fast dormancy, if not then disable it.
Hope I help
Thanks!

I had tried to pinpoint the most draining app, tried BetterBatteryStats and the tutorial about how to interpret the data but couldn't solve it.
I installed SlimKat and by battery is doing just fine, 7 hours gone with wifi on with moderate usage and I am on 60 percent now.

Are you sure it's the USSD menu?
Mine doesn't (just checked), and neither did my Qtek 1010 (Although it coped poorly with the feature).
Granted, I'm not using a Blue Angel, and my i-mate is ROMmed to the hilt, but surely the menu should just trigger a sound event (that I certainly don't have) which you can switch off?
Does it do the same when you Look4It (*120*5555# I think) ?

Anyone tried Taotronics BT earphones with G4?

Hi,
I am very pleased with my Sony SBH50 BT earphones but they are not made for sports, I am tempted by the Taotronics magnet sport model but I wonder how well they perform with the G4.
Anyone tried it?

Jaybird Bluebuds X are great, I would assume the X2 will be just as good.

I got them for Xmas, they are amazing, battery last like 8 hours continuously, get Viper 4 android and they are even better, and when they say noise cancelling they mean it, i had my phone music volume at half and i turned the tv 40/60 and i couldn't hear it, super easy to set up and the volume on the headset is separate so be sure to turn that up as well as your phone volume

Oh yea, i do gymnastics and flips and stuff they never fell out, maybe got a little loose but just push them back in with little force, i also run with them and play soccer with them and they never fall out, unless you get hit in the head with the ball then they might fly out

They work very well. Clear sound. Sometimes paring messes up and you have to re-pair. But haven't happened to me in a long time. Overall very please with the sound quality decent highs and mids. You need an EQ to get better basses though.

Can install GSam Battery for monitoring
is screen burn with too long use of this app ?
Uninstalled right away. Full of invasive popup ads and doens't even resemble the always on galaxy s7.
I would suggest you guys Glance plus which has a minimum impact on the battery.
I'm currently using always on display since the latest update... seems much better... but it's still battery intensive... but not as bad as it was. Glance definitely is less battery hungry but it's not exactly always on...!! So until the real APK is out I'll keep using always on. I've even payed to get rid of the adds.. definitely worth it.

AdAway to block ads... devs need ads for some $
All these apps are useless to me, I'd rather wait for the app port and source code releases by Samsung, then waste my battery life on these apps. Digitizer will walkways waste battery.

How do you uninstall this app??
Its posted in google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display and here and there with negative review
@senzatiOn-
i installed the latest version of the app on a g925f with custom kernel and rom.
i works with no errors.
only one bug i found untill now and that is when i am on a phone call using bluetooth handset, while i press the power on button to turn off the screen, or when the system tries to turn it off, the screen turns back on after a second.
The battery was drained by 5% within an hour with the brightness set to 25% of the slider.
Overall i am pleased by it. Keep up the good work.
Best app loved it i was fedup by lame display of google always on

Blurry in app icons

Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now
