International wire transfers are a pain and he doesn't have paypal. I also thought of another potential issue: It is probable that Google will refresh the hardware at least once more, so returning it from Australia within the 2 week timeframe they had last time could also be problematic.

I received my Glass invite last week and I have been searching for a way around the various geoblocking because I'm in Australia. I want to develop for Glass, but actually having the device (especially with the impending release of the official wearable SDK) will be of great help. At this...

I'm having a fairly major issue with the volume on my Note 3 (N-9005). I set the notifications volume to about 50% via either the volume settings or via touching the gear icon when the pop up volume dialog appears. Within minutes, the volume is back to maximum. This is particularly painful...

I found another video review which does seem to indicate it has some sort of motion-screen activation via Phandroid. There are several points in the video where the screen turns on without any obvious screen touching or button pushing. Note that the watch in this video has the security plate on...

It is coming up to the time I'll have to confirm my pre-order or cancel it, does anyone else have information on the motion sensor functionality?

Despite searching the forums, searching Google and watching many video reviews, I have not been able to find an answer to this question: Does the Galaxy Gear have motion sensors which can 'wake' the watch based on movement. ie: I want to be able to tell the time just by moving the arm the watch...

Entirely possible. Case in point, Goldman-Sachs, one of the world's most hated companies, over 15,000 fans. Anyway, we're getting off topic, I simply wanted to point out the number of likes/+1/fans a company has is nothing to judge the quality of the company's products. In the only reputable...

Wouldn't trust a facebook page for that, the page owner can delete any negative comments. Not saying they're not reputable, just that the facebook page of an organisation is not a good way of telling.

I agree, until someone independent has purchased these and tested, I wont be laying down cash for one. Mugen is entitled to a second chance, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have fixed their issues. Anyone note that BatteryBoss hasn't been updated since Aug and the forum is no longer functional?

The MKV files I'm trying to play are x264. The MKV is just the container. I've posted on the mx Player forums to see if they've got any ideas.

I'm not game to lay down $4.90 for a test over the iMediaShare Lite version. The lite version does not work any better over BubbleUPnP or UPnPlay. Okay, that seemed to at least partly fix it. MX Player forcing software decode mode works but is a little choppy. I wonder why hardware decoding is...

I've tried several apps to stream from my DLNA-compliant NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS) and just via network file access (SMB) and all of them seem to have the same issue with video files, it takes forever to begin playback. The behaviour seems like it could be buffering the entire file prior to...

I too agree with the OP. I've had nothing but trouble from my device and from their customer service for over 8 months. Arrived faulty including some physical damage, claimed a software update would fix all of my problems and to please wait. (yes, physical damage supposedly can be fixed with...

I don't understand the fascination of flip cases with the hinge at the top, it blocks the camera and isn't held open by gravity. Is it because you can use it as a make shift stand or something?

Despite my searching, I can't find a really high quality leather flip case. I'm looking for one which adds minimal bulk and the "hinge" of the screen cover is at the bottom of the phone. I'm not looking for something off eBay because I've had too many bad experiences with products which look...
