Ampere (Charging current information) - Nexus 6 Themes and Apps

Just thought I'd inform anyone out there that isn't aware of this app. I've been looking for an app like this for a while now and stumbled upon this one. Until now the only one I knew of was for Samsung phones (galaxy current) or something like that. Great app for knowing how much current you're getting from a charge. Also some other options available.

I've tried that app with different phones before and it didn't always work.
Cancel that. I was thinking about a different one.
I have tried this one though and I just don't like having the widget on my screen. Good app though if you like the widget.

Try this app to measure charging/discharging current: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.electron&hl=en

Smart Dock...

Worth every penny. Got 35% off, even though I would have paid full price for it. Anyone else has it?
What is it? Lol what does this dock do...

Have it, love it. Just installed XBMC on my Note 2 and its so good
The concept to me is really cool. If I didn't already have a laptop it would fill my needs for a computer. Still pricey though...

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?
I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.
What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

Wind of change.

So.... Being a Samsung Galaxy S user for long time, I came to the point where don't feel "fresh" with my phone. I came to conclusion that need change. Tried some launchers, but doesn't feel cool. So now I decided to change my "baby". The two phones I narrowed are HTC one or Sony Z. Do you think guys I am doing right or stick with my S3 (and wait for 4.3)? Any input appreciated...

Agree with you. As mentioned before I picked up HTC One today. Basically is the same ( meaning OS), but somehow feel better...Right now preparing to flash GE ROM,as I'm not a fan of Blinkfeed and "limited" customisation. Tbh,my S3 LTE never gave me any issue (touchwood!), so probably will keep both phones... My point is that with M7 GE will get faster updates, and hopefully smooth experience. Also I'm not fancy all the "extras" supplied with both devices (Touchwizz/Sense). Thankfully, few apps/widgets are available from play store,so will see how it goes...

Guys thanks for all your comments and suggestions.
I am not a Samsung fan boy, but from my point of view Samsung is the best (at least for my needs).
So sticking with S3, skipping S4, but looking forward to S5, which will have non plastic body (hopefully)....

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.

Galaxy Gear: Higher Battery Capacity Replacement?

Hi there, I was disassembling my watch to be curious. I found the battery area and I noticed online there are micro batteries around the web. Do you guys think there is a way to get one of those batteries and fit it into the watch and use the ribbons (the wires) that were on the old battery and make them work with the new battery? I'm still trying to look for a good battery only if it is confirmed that one can do this. Thanks if you can help me out!

I'm thinking you've gone deeper into your gear than a lot of us...
Find a battery that fits, has similar voltage output, and let us know how it goes! :fingers-crossed:
for the size of 20mm x 30 mm you will be very lucky to find anything over 315mA
i had a quick search and i found 310mA etc
unless you can modify the case some how i dont think you will find anything

You rock! Thanks for putting this together. Any chance you can link the battery you used just in case anyone (myself included) wants to order it and make the update themselves? Not much difference, but as this device gets older it might be worthwhile to swap batteries.
Thanks again for the nice mod!

I have successfully replaced the battery before, but be cautious if you do get a gear, only tested on original gear. You have to switch the capacitors, or the battery will just drain, and it needs the same voltage. The LG G Watch I heard was a great device, and with the oneplus, the G watch has full compatibility. I used the gear once with a Droid ultra, I had problems with a few things, and no galaxy store. Good thing I'm back to my Note 3 (for now ☺).
