I am thinking of buying the Glass, but I also have a LG G watch. will the watch double the notifications from glass? Will a nexus phone (waiting for the next nexus these days) allow connection both of watch and glass simultaneously?
thank you.

I use a G watch, Glass, and Nexus 5. Everything works in harmony Glass and Wear will both get notifications from the phone, but nothing will duplicate, and both can have a bluetooth connection simultaneously.

Hi to all.
Few minute ago I read on Ebay Store that a S VIEW FLIP COVER exists.
But, I have viewed that it works only for Galaxy S4.
Could someone help me for more details?
Thanks on advance for your time
With this link someone could understand better what I really wrote above
http://www.ebay.it/itm/CIELO-BLU-Cu...sung-Galaxy-Note-2-S-View-N7100-/251316925965
Pretty neat indeed...
Well i guest that will work with newer touch wiz that come with android 4.2.2

It can't work even on 4.2.2 or 4.3, simply because the Note 2 doesn't have magnets or something that makes it recognize the cover. So no S View on the N2, that's fake.

What are you talking about? It has those holes so when people are calling you can see directly into it. Those cut outs are where the name and accept reject text is. No need to flip it open! It has NOTHING to do with magnets inside it. It's just a hole in the cover to see who's calling.
It doesn't like this when you're getting a call.
Man, the Note 2 can't recognize you're using a cover. S4 can because it has an Hall Sensor (magnet) that makes the phone know it’s closed by magnets and it only lights up that part of the display so you can read notifications without removing it, Note 2 doesn't have that sensor, so it's pretty much useless to buy that kind of cover for a Note 2 in my opinion.
You can either search for that flip case with a a transparent front and cut out holes, or buy a normal flip cover, cut out holes where the answer options & name pop up.

It has holes for the area that lights up when someone calls. It doesn't need a magnet. When someone calls you with or without a case on the front that's where the information is displayed. So while it doesn't have a magnet and make use of the features, it doesn't need them for that case. I've seen a ton of people with that kind of case! It's to have a flip case and not have to flip it open every time you want to see who's calling. But i agree, there is no magnet. But this flip cover doesn't need magnets to be useful.
I got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCURY-GOO...CASE-FOR-GALAXY-NOTE-2-II-N7100-/321157898786
it'll show who's calling and i just hit my home button to answer. As for the screen I used UCCW to make a notification type thing for texts/calls/mail/battery. I always wanted a flip case but I would like to know who was calling without flipping the case everytime.
So today I had my phone on my Nexus 7 resting on the table the N7 has a magnetic case so that when it opens the screen comes on. I noticed when I lifted my N5 off of the Tablet the screen would come on, then when placed on it would turn off. Cool little feature that was probably not discussed by anyone yet. If it is a repost my bad.
Noticed this too but with an ipad.
yes... that is why google is selling a flip cover case...

I figured as much, however with the original Optimus G it didnt have this feature and I am not sure if the new G2 has it so yeah. But what you said makes sense.
Smart Cover feature built in?

Hi all
Because of the price point ($150 CDN), the gear live is one of my finalists for a smartwatch.
My question is, obviously, is the device still a good purchase in 2016?
Why or why not?
Thanks!
I would say yes I got the watch for christmas from my wife and have been using it every day since, lasts me all day with a few texts here and there, connects to my bluetooth headset, plays music independantly of phone, plenty of watchfaces on android market and can make your own with watchmaker app. Heart rate monitor is pretty consistent, screen res is nice and always on with dimmed mode. All in all a nice looking functional watch
yep mine still works awesome. I think google said that all android wear watches will get marshmallow update so it atleast good for another year. The always on display is a big feature.
I would say no....
I recently bought the Samsung Gear Live (new for $80) and also a new LG Urbane and I think I would have skipped the SGL if I had to do it over.
They are both running the same code and quite frankly, the SGL is a bit flaky compared to the LG.

I would avoid the Samsung Gear Live at any price over $80 USD.
I purchased a SGL in November 2014. I wore it all day every day until December 2015 when I picked up a Huawei Watch.
Samsung Gear Live:
Pros:
AMOLED Display
Heart Rate Sensor
Comfortable Ergonomic feel when worn
Acceptable battery life (I keep tilt to wake, always on display, and Wifi active)
IP67 Certification with silicone straps work well with an active lifestyle
Cons:
Display likely to pick up a few scratches over time. The outter bezel is not raised from the screen which makes the watch easier to interact with, but offers no protections against incidental contact. (I am very careful with electronics but my watches always seem to get nicked up. Unless you go with a Huawei watch with sapphire crystal this will likely be an issue on any android wear watch.)
Charger quality in question. The charger cradle clips on the back of the watch and secures tabs in the cradle into recesses on the sides of the watch. One of the tabs on my charger broke after around 6 months. I purchased a replacement from Samsung which is still holding up. I have even read cases of the recessed cavities on the watch breaking.
The plastic around where the watchbands connect has cracked and chipped off. The band is still held securely in the metal casing but I would think this will happen on all SGLs with time. This appears to affect the watches water resistance as it creates openings into the case.
The Lugs/connection place for the watch bands has a unique profile that in my opinion only looks nice with the watch band that comes with the watch. It will work with most 22mm watch bands but third party bands just don't look right to me.
The connection on the stock watch band is secured with two punch-through pins and can disconnect if the band gets caught on something like your belt or pocket.
The watch does not include an internal speaker and therefore will not support the speaker features in the Marshmallow Android Wear update.
Final Thoughts
I still wear my SGL when playing sports or working out but due to the build quality issues and look/style with custom watch bands I would not recommend it as a daily watch. I would suggest an Asus Zenwatch 2 in a similar price point as it includes an embedded speaker and has a more standard watch lug design that will allow you to use third party straps without compromising the look.
Once the Marshmallow Android Wear update is available you will definitely want a watch with an embedded speaker. I am so looking forward to being able to easily answer a call on my watch while either my phone is close but not accessible or my hands are not able to get to my phone. My most common examples wold be driving, cooking, and playing video games.
I have also accrued 5 new watch bands in addition to the one that came with my Huawei watch and I change them very frequently. I was not able to do this with the Gear Live as I hated the way after marked watch straps looked at the connection between the watch strap and the watch case.
If you still want a Gear Live I would suggest setting up an alert for it on Slickdeals and wait for a good deal to come along. It was available for $80 USD for a short time on 1/15/2016 on eBay.
Let me know if you have any more detailed questions about the SGL.
I got the LED view cover for S7 Edge and read somewhere that it should be possible to answer calls by swiping the led on the front... But I can't get it to work.
Also is it so that the LED is supposed to light up only in 2-3 seconds?
Have you switched on the nfc on your phone? This needs to be on for the case to work properly. The LED only lights for a few seconds on my case also. Hope this helps
Hi guy's I have just finished reviewing the official led case on YouTube, I bought it with my own money and I don't earn a penny from my reviews. Click on my link below and see the major flaws with this case.
https://youtu.be/WhqTqABbVcI
I will be reviewing a lot more case's in the next few days so subscribe to my channel as I will also be giving out some cases for you guy's to review from Ulak. Please enjoy many thanks
this thing is awesome! how much does it costs?

It costs between £40 & £50 depending where you buy it from. Which country are you based in?
I bought this case when I got the phone, because there was no other decent case in the store at the time being and I couldn't wait till April for my spigen cases to arrive from amazon (I know, right..... April??).
It is quite nice actually. The materials used are very good, very "premium" (as it is socially accepted to say). The inside of the lid is a soft leather-like material and I feel quite certain it won't scratch the screen (like the SView for the S6 duo did). Also you DO NOT need NFC turned on in order to use the LED part of the case. I turned off my NFC the moment I got the phone and the case works flawlessly (accepting, rejecting calls etc).
One thing I do mind though is the limited functionality. I do not get why I can accept a call when the lid is closed, but I can't end it.... doesn't make much sense. Truth be told this is my only complaint really. The price is quite steep for what it offers though - if I were to buy the case again for the price I got it (circa 50 euro), I don't think I would. Don't get me wrong - it is a really nice case, it's just not worth so much.

I agree with you, interesting about the nfc, the instructions state that it needs to be switched on for the case to work fully. Are you getting text and email notifications with the nfc switched off? And the galaxy music player app showing the eq? Sammie should have created an app for the case to increase the notifications and timings etc.
Yes, I do get text notifications. Don't know about email and music because I use Play Music and Gmail, and the case does not work with third party apps (which is another bummer).

How do you get text notifications? I have NFC enabled but only get for calls and alarms. I use hangouts for texts though.. could that be it?
edit: nevermind, just read the whole comment.. sucks that 3rd party apps don't work :/ I use hangouts, whatsapp and gmail, and it would've been awesome to have those show up, now that we're covering the LED notification on the phone with this cover.
No missed notifications. Only when you receive them. Theres no way to see ANY missed events. It doesn't even recognize original email-app
Full of **** this is!
Has anyone managed to get more functionality from the led flip case?
How does the case get power for the LED?

From what i read it gets power via nfc and doesnt require much, something to do with radiation energy given off by nfc. It might be rubbish but thats all i have heard
Anyone else annoyed by the NFC sound? How do I turn it off???
I think it is the S_Beam_error.ogg that plays (located in /system/media/audio/ui) ... Doesn't work turning off Android Beam. The sound is still there when the led cover gets behind the phone.
u dont need nfc on for it to work, not on my led case anyway

That's right. My case works without Nfc turned in settings, too. Strange thing is that at the beginning the case was not always working properly- delayed notifications, once I couldn't answer the call with a swipe, errors with displaying, etc. But after some time, about a week or more, it got better and now I rarely face any issues.
After reading this thread i went and bought it. Here are my thoughts.
The case is expensive but worth it if u can get it cheaper. I only paid full price cause i financed it from tmobile to pay $3 a month. For the $69.99 that it actually cost. I actually hate flip cover case but this one i really like.
Not sure if it is real leather but it feels really premium, it does look really premium. Has a flip cover is very easy to open and close.
It needs NFC only to pair at the begining, then u can disable it and still works 100% i get all my notification, the time etc, this is with NFC off (after pair)
I do like when u are in a call the led shows the duration of the call instead of the time, i also get my notification of sms and when im charging i get a cool animation of charging battery icon then a % battery number.
Wireless charging works just has well with this case. I really like how it feels and in half of day of use i have gotten use to this flip cover.
If u can find it under $50 i really recommend this case, very soft premium feel, i had before the samsung slim platic cover, it is nice looking but the back plastic also become very fingerprint and slipery. Not enough grip, also its more like scratch cover than anything else. This case seem to take a fall and protect. Plus is protecting the screen for fall and scratches.
this case is only ok, if it was around £15-20 it would be more appropiate. it just lets its self down with the notifications only staying on for a few seconds, if it stayed on all the time it would be a great case
3rd party notification
anyone working on LED cover notifications ?
the cover is excellent. however, i hope someone can develop application to include 3rd party notification such as whatsapp and facebook. it will be awesome !!
thanks
I am switching between the ustwoo watchfaces that came with my unlocked LG Watch Sport. What great watchfaces have folks found. I like analog with complications (mostly just steps, battery, and weather.
Portions.... Love it
I use Portions. I used to use a Facer Rolex watchface on my OG Moto 360.

Yeah, I like Portions and really most of the 2.0 faces. Wish the watch wasn't so bulky on my small wrist.
If they would have made it thinner it would been most perfect.

Yep, picked up an unlocked LG Urbane 2 LTE and patiently waiting for AW 2.0. It doesn't feel as bulky as the Sport.
I almost bought the urbane but I wanted the updated processor and the rotating crown. I've had using the Sony sw3 for three years so i really gotta get used to this big sob.
Yeah, that's why it's hard to part with it. Too many watches. Gonna keep it for now though.
Is anyone with a LG Watch Sport able to use the Google Fit watch faces. They have disappeared, and I can't get them back. I have factory reset the phone, and the watch. They show back up, but when I run all the updates they vanish again.
