Just a few questions...

ok well im good with computers in general and i would have no problem rooting my hero. my first question is what are the main pros/cons? i dont have 2 reasons yet to root, the only one iv heard of is to see the paid apps in market, but i wouldnt be able to buy them right? (i am in canada).
second, i dont know when we will get 1.6, or even if we will.. but im hoping it has the newest flash. I would love to be able to watch streaming video from the interent (like full movies, tv shows etc(besides youtube)) and right now only smotri works slightly, and i could really use z share videos! and since we dont have flash yet, im hoping there is some way to stream to the hero from my computer!
i have tried tversity.. i can get video playing at about 3 frames a second but audio works fine.
i have tried watching videos off my comp through remote desktop (i knew it wasnt gunna work but i haad to try)
SO my question is, is there any way to tream to the hero!?
*all of this IS over wifi
thanks in advance!

[Q] alliexpress got me.. please help me if you can

:crying: hello everyone! I have been on the site for quite sometime and have had so much help and gained so much knowledge from a lot of you here, so I just had to become a part of this amazing forum.. anyway... I bought a bunch of these
"2014 newest airplay DLNA miracast android 4.2 TV box With rj45 HDMI AV outPut A20 512MB/4G XBMC Media Player Smart Set Top Box"
here's a few pictures of it.. its running an allwinner A20 chip.. the xbmc it came with was just horrid. It would play anything hd on xbmc with extreme lag and chopping.. so I tried some other versions of xbmc and none are stable at all.. I just dug them outta the "man cave" in my house and installed the new xbmc 13 and it seems to be running way faster and smoother..... howwwwever. im getting that issue with no internet.. when im not in xbmc it the internet works great.. I flashed one of the boxes and screwed it right up now because I cant use the remote anymore.. and it wont play anything either. just black screen then freezes up... im wondering if ANYONE has had this box or has any ideas on what I can do to get these things working at least decent.. I found this custom "xbmc hardware accelerated" version which can let me at least watch one channel but it crashes quite often and kicks me right out of xbmc.. any help would be great guys. thank you so much for taking the time to read my nasty post. I just spent over 1000$ on these over 2 months ago and just don't know what to do anymore... I cant even send them back as the company is a joke and wont do anything. so alliexpress was able to get me about 300USD back.. but that's it.. im still out a ton of cash.. I cant add any pictures as I cant seem to save them from the site.. heres a link to what I got exactly
ok so I cant add a link either as im a new user. so I guess just type this into alliexpress
2014 newest airplay DLNA miracast android and its the white one on the top.. from enjoying company or whatever... :crying:

Gear S connect via BT to multiple devices

Hi all,
Is there a way to connect the Gear S via BT to multiple phones?
Mine is already connected to a Galaxy S4 mini (as well as remotely connected many times), but i would love it if i could also connect via BT to my iPhone 6.
I know the functionality (when connected to the iPhone) will be severely handicapped (just phone calls) but still i would like to have that.
Thank you very much in advance.
UPDATE: I have found this thread bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/activate-gear-s-samsung-phone-t2932869/
Member @sticmou has come up with a possible solution but is is not quite what i was seeking for.
Ideally the watch should be able to connect to both my S4 mini and my iPhone 6.
Lol Samsung and apple don't play nice, they fight on the playground....I'll hand it to you ,you are very brave to even suggest this haha. Goodluck though I don't think it's possible

Hi there!
I have had progress. Unfortunately i am very busy right now, but i will get back soon with details. Maybe i will even make a video on my channel.
You may be surprised...
I am more interested in the opposite: making 2 Gear watches (Gear 1 and Gear S) work with one phone simultaneously - if it can be an iPhone, even better.

worth buying for 100$ second hand?

hy all,
i don't have a samsung phone (using oneplus one with android 7.1.1)
and i have a chance to buy the samsung gear S from a guy at work (he is not using it for sports).
is it worth buying for 100$ second hand?
i will be using it for running (instead of running with my phone+polar watch+polar strap).
thanks
Yes, definitely is worth it..
Yes, best smartwatch .
Gear S works only with Samsung phone (otherwise you must have a big luck to connect with many works).
Or use only on standalone mode without connected phone.
Did you end up getting one? How does it work for running? I'm thinking of getting one as I am in the gym several times a week and would like to be able to put headphones on and workout while listening to music. I read somewhere that with the stock Tizen, apps are slim and there is no music player. Is that true? I also like that I can put a sim card in my watch and use it for calls. That said, it might end up being a pain to move the card from my phone all the time. any recommendations? Clone sim (if that's even possible). I just want to know if this watch will still be able to do the stuff I want now that it's reached end of life.

NO, there are some music player app and one player included on the watch.

Samsung TV UE43JU6060K Smart Hub problem!

Hi folks,
my Samsung J series TV got the Smart Hub screwed, basically the only apps that work are the crap web browser and the e-manual, lost youtube and all the other default apps which are grayed out...
And I can't install any app either, not even a non default app even if I put a USB pen drive, it always say Smart Hub is updating but the TV has no memory left and nothing works, it reports 1GB used 0KB free...
I already tried all kinds of reset including Samsung Service Menu Factory reset, tried app update via service menu, nothing fixed it...
The TV is on latest FW 1530.1 so no root publicly available that I know off, neither downgrade ...
I talked with samsung remote assistance but all they do is smart hub reset which I already have done many times and off course didnt work so he told me to take it to a repair shop which there's only 1 where I live.
I took the TV to the store last week and just by leaving the TV there I had to pay god damn 30€ just so they can tell me what is the fix and how much will it cost which is a very bad practise since it's a software problem, and anyway I don't think they will be able to do anything, they will probably call me next week saying to replace the motherboard which I know is all in perfect condition and I won't ever want them to open up my TV...
Does anyone know if there's anyway to reinstall smart Hub or reinstall latest FW again as like a recovery mod??
PS: The TV is Tizen OS from 2015 Series J of samsung Smart TV and I know this is actually a very well known samsung problem and we are the ones who have to pay for they bad mistakes when many people have the same exact problem... Also my cousin just bought a Samsung 4K TV this year and just like mine Out-of-The-Box the TV has still only 1GB total memory and a few MB free just like mine back in 2016 when I bought it, so she will probably eventually have the same problem some time after if the TV gets out of memory which happens fast and in case a Smart Hub update appears everything goes to hell...
