The centerpiece of the Galaxy Gear, as you may have read by now, is a 320 x 320-pixel, 1.63-inch AMOLED touchscreen. There's a speaker and a pair of mics for recording and playing back video content and communicating with a caller via the built-in dialer, which works with the native phone app in your connected Galaxy device. The Gear includes an 800MHz processor, a 315mAh battery, and -- in a somewhat surprising twist -- a BSI sensor and autofocus lens mounted in the wrist strap that's tasked with capturing 1.9-megapixel stills and 10-second video clips at 720p, 640 x 640 or VGA resolution with sound. That camera, designed for on-the-go captures where convenience, not image quality, is a priority, is paired with a pre-installed app called Memographer. That application, and dozens of others that will be available at launch, are key to boosting the Gear's appeal, and setting it apart from the competition.
Like other smartwatches we've seen and reviewed, such as the monochrome Pebble, the Gear organizes apps, watch faces and other pages in swappable cards. With such a limited display resolution, it's only possible to display one at a time, and that's where touch comes in. To navigate through the wearable's many cards, you can swipe with a finger. There's a single button, located on the right side. Press it once to go to the home screen. A double press launches S Voice, and a triple tap activates the "safety assistance" feature, which sends your location info to a saved contact, along with a message notifying them that there's an emergency.
We haven't been blown away by any smartwatch's performance, and that's much the case here. The Gear feels awfully sluggish, whether you're launching an app such as Evernote or Path, or swiping down from the home screen to activate the camera. Watch faces, which you can upload from the Gear's Android companion app, performed well, as did the Music card, which simply serves as a remote for any music app (native or third-party) currently active on a connected device.
Can someone post here the file to flash in odin to remove the time limit in camera recording of gear 2, thanks a lot for the help.
What is a better way to cast/mirror the Android phone screen to a wear os watch?
Use Case : I want to use my watch as a view finder for taking pictures with my phone's rear camera. And since I am using a Vivo (non-samsung phone) with galaxy watch 5 the camera controller app doesn't work.
I have tried app called Camera One but the quality is sub-par mostly because it doesn't do any post processing magic like the stock camera.
Also, I tried an app called Screen stream which can mirror phone screen over HTTP and can be accessed via browser on watch. The issue with this method is, the output is very laggy (might be due to crappy browser and/or insufficient cpu power) and requires WiFi.
Please let me know of any other ways for my use case.
Is it possible to use the remote camera on non-galaxy phones? I remember that there was a workaround for this on older watches.
edit:
on older models it worked through the Camera One app
Camera One: Wear, Galaxy Watch - Apps on Google Play
Camera Controller + Voice recorder + Baby monitor + ...
