I've had my gear for two days now and avoided posting here as I have been trying to find the answers to my million questions by reading rather than clogging up development threads. Thankfully there seems to be an active community here that have made this watch so much more than what it is of the box!
Within an hour of getting it, I had twrp and the latest null rom installed..Thanks fomey! While I have been taking my lumps getting Gear Manager working correctly on my Galaxy Note 1, i am muddling through and making progress through trial and error and will eventually get around to getting notifications working as well as they can be on a non touchwiz rom.
But since this thread is about Battery, I figure I'll ask a question...
How are you guys using your Gear? It seems that a common setting in your posts is to have bluetooth off. Are you guys going into settings, enabling bluetooth, pairing, then toggling on tethering in device settings everytime you want to use something like google now? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a "smart " watch?
I would be willing to use a bluetooth toggle widget (as a compromise), but i'm finding that I would still have to drill down into settings in order to allow for data tethering as this feature does not seem to automatically toggle on when bluetooth pairs.
As it stands, i basically keep my watch constantly tethered to my phone. I use trikster mod to cut the cpu max to 600000. My phone (a known battery hog) has no difficulty getting me through a day even with bluetooth constantly tethering data. My Gear on the other hand, does not look like it will go more than 12 hours...and I haven"t even got notifications going yet...What am I missing here?
