Just make sure that "check automatically for updates" is enabled and wait until your phone prompts you to update. Download is very slow for me too, been downloading for over 4 hours and at 23%. So i would advise against forcing an update. And against updates from other sources.

The TrueSmart is not ip67 certified. The official procedures for IPxx certification were not followed. Your watch will break and you will not get any kind of service, repairs, guarantee or money back from Omate.

No heart rate. It does have bluetooth which you can use with a Bluetooth heart rate monitor on your chest for sports.

Thank you for implicitly acknowledging all my other points.

I've just switched from an Asus ZenFone 2 to a G4. On the ZenFone you can see when it's quickcharging by a little + in the battery. This phone doesn't officially support Qualcomm quickcharge, since it has an Atom processor, but it works with several quickcharge chargers i own: Transmart, Aukey...

Thanks. It seems like there's no need for me to root after all. I only rooted my android devices for write access to the external SD card and auto backup of apps and settings with ROM toolbox pro. The external SD access was fixed in 5.0 Lollipop (i got firmware .19 preinstalled) and by now all...

Thanks to xda-log for the pre-rooted firmware. My Memo pad 7 me572c should arrive by post in a few hours and i'll try it right away. I've also read some comments about a zenfone root app that was ably to root. Does anyone have any experience with that? Let's hope the tablet gets Marshmallow...

Yeah, how dare they. The TrueSmart has always been a broken product. Now they say since it's over 2 years old, software development has ended. As if it was ever finished in the first place! Don't waste your money on the crap from Omate, people. Their products are broken and their hardware specs...

Hardware plugin I have a galaxy S5. Is it correct that I no longer need a separate plugin app for hardware decoding ?

A company called Dogee just announced a "new" smartwatch, which looks afwully familiar. The question is: will it have new, better firmware? A Lollipop rom would be awesome and i'd dare call their rom even more official than the crappy "official" Omate rom. Then again, they might just ship the...

After the horrible support and treachery of Omate? Why would any fool spend money on a product that will not offer half it promises with not customer service at all if it's broken or dead on arrival which often happens.

And/or put an empty .nomedia file in folders that contain lots of such files. They'll also not show up in the gallery.

You were definitely right to not have any faith in Omate. I'd advice anyone to buy the TrueSmart second hand if you want it, to be sure it's a functioning unit. I also love how i don't have to carry my big heavy smartphone with me during sports. I like sea sailing, so no cell coverage there. But...

Now that's interesting. TrueSmart does have a few other hardware advantages such as built in GPS, micro sd card slot and stand alone phone with a sim slot and a built in mic and speaker. May i ask what you use your watch for?

Seems to me like this is android wear as people are talking about only 27 apps available in the store. On my TrueSmart i have access to the full play store of apps.

I'm assuming you put Android WEAR on it? If you really managed to flash a full android with stand alone app support i'd love a link on how you did that.

Towelroot was based on a vulnerability that was patched long ago. Use another method such as cf autoroot. Rooting without tripping knox is not possible anymore. And always read through the last few pages of a thread before posting. Complaining that a root method doesn't work that has been...

The hardware quality is fine, but the software, well, Android isn't really meant for such a small low-res display and Omate's software support is crappy. So my advice is if the Gear S offers all the apps you need, definitely get a gear s. If you want the full android play store catalog and...

At least silent mode will be back in 5.1 :)

Ever considered this?

I Think Dees summarizes it very well. Everyone on Kickstarter has been screwed by Omate in countless ways, but in the end some are still happy with their TrueSmart, for example for sports purposes.

Lol they even copied the incorrect specs and false promises: 1000 MHz = 800 MHz 5mp camera = 3mp (with software upscaling to 5mp if they also copied truesmart firmware) Micro SD card slots: well i don't think it has multiple slotS, but even accessing the one microsd slot breaks all...

Everyone gave up on Omate long ago. So many unfulfilled promises. It's a miracle they still manage to sell watches to uninformed consumers.

I have an Omate TrueSmart. And while Omate screwed up in many ways, leading to their demise after their kickstarter campaign, it is very handy to find a stand alone android smartwatch which can run all play store apps. I use it especially during sailing and running and other sports activities...

I had the same. Maybe because i cleared the dalvik cache in between the rooting process? but reflashing the official firmware fixed it and all my apps and settings were still there. After that i tried CF autoroot again, this time i got root without any problems. TriangleAway also worked. Knox...

I used CF autoroot on my SM-G900F with polish ...BNL9 android 5.0 lollipop rom. That worked for me. Remember to disable reactivation lock. TriangleAway worked on my device. 1. I don't know. But i can confirm CF autoroot. Link 2. You shouldn't, but things can go wrong so remember to backup...

Some info in this thread is false, but this user explains it correctly. Triangle away is not about the Knox counter but about the Flash counter, which counts if your phone has been flashed. And on some devices it counts how many times you've flashed. I've attached a screenshot to clarify The OP...

Touchwiz is a bit of a memory leak on itself, but i think the memory leak doesn't just affect nexus phones, but also the Galaxy S5. When i look in my memory manager, with only a few small open apps (totalling less than 200mb) my memory is almost full, 1.4 /1.67gb used. I don't know if that's...

Towelroot has been obsolete for ages. Please update the first post in this thread or un-sticky it.

Well that surprises me. I thought it was the bulky touchwiz for sure. I guess there's nothinh to be done but wait for Google to fix it. Thank you for the information, could you provide a link for anyone else who has the same question?

I flashed the polish Android 5.0 lollipop on my SM-G900F Galaxy S5. I have the latest xxxBNL9 update. When i hit the task switcher (left) button it takes very long to minimize the screen and open the task switcher. Typically it takes 2-3 seconds. When i do it repetitively it goes quicker. I've...

Yes it works. I use it to keep part of my microsd card from being scanned by the gallery. Also works on 5.0 lollipop.

True, i just tested it. Thank you for the warning. I'll edit it back in my posts.

Solution Ok, found it. You mute your phone with priority mode, but that's rather hidden... WARNING: your alarms will not go off of you set priority mode to none. open the all toggles: swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers (or swipe down once and tap the icon in the upper...

I made a new thread about this because i didn't find this one when looking for silent mode. And on my phone i looked for priority mode, but the toggle is just called "all" and the section in the sound&notification settings is called "interruptions". Well one thing this interrupted was my...

No, i missed it because i searched on silent mode. Thank you!

Thank you for replying but where can i find this priority mode?

It can be much worse. On the galaxy S5, with the latest official lollipop rom, there is no silent mode, no priority mode, no profiles, nothing. Just vibrate or sound. I left a question about it on the S5 q&a forum hoping I'm wrong, but i think it's completely missing.

[Q&A] Silent mode missing after 5.0 lollipop update on Galaxy S5? Now priority mode. Edit: solution below (4th post). But be cerful for disabling your alarms. <rant> I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. As a power user i need to factory reset my phone every half year to keep it running smooth. Since...

The voltage drop is dependant on gauge, copper quality and length. I never measured it at both ends but i estimate 0.3-0.5 volt based on what chargers do and don't charge what phones at 10ft. Note that i mixed up ft and metres lol, my cables are 3m. At that length voltage drop is an issue for...

I'm afraid not. The voltage will drop too far below 5.0V, the device will not accept the offered power, no matter how high the charging current. That's both based on physics and personal experience. Resistance in cables is an issue at 10 metres, even those with high gauge copper cores.

That's so awesome, it works great. I have my whole documents folder on my sd card, whoch is 20gb, 60K files and 2K folders. I want to have all of that with me, but the gallery became unusably slow. Placing a few .nomedia files here and there and rescanning fixed everything. And it's recursive...

I'm really hoping it will be a regular setting in Android L TouchWiz. Just as the brightness settings bar was first forced and then later they added an option to hide it.

Bump. It takes up 300mb on my S5. It contains .pil files. What are those for?

Maybe you can separate the sms and mms and then use my excel procedure to delete duplicate sms messages and delete the mms duplicates by hand? To behonest, I'm surprised anyone uses mms...

Nice. I'm a bit wary of my phone becoming unusable though.

Try reading your own screenshot. It tells you exactly why and what to do.

No.

game speed a little too fast in fpse On my Galaxy S5 both emulators run smooth. I use fpse, because the opengl plugin works great, makes the game look way better than on the PS. And still it runs smooth. In fact, no matter what settings i try, fpse seems to be around 10% too fast. I played...

There is an update out for european users: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/07/23/samsung-galaxy-s5-receiving-update-for-improved-performance-in-europe Will the update break root? Does towelroot still work after the update? I see mention of some OTA's in this thread, but no specific mention of...
