I got twenty satellites per gps status (the app). Never saw anything like it.

It's freakishly accurate. I was doing a number 2, playing with my phone with the GPS on. When I opened the map, I had a birds eye view of myself pooping.
insanely accurate and locks in the second i open the app. my galaxy nexus would struggle sometimes to get a lock but this thing is locked before i even open the app lol
Does anybody know if it possible to use this gps kernel on other phones cause my other phones dont have a gps this damn good if so how to I copy the kernel of the gps on here?

I've only messed with it once so far. It was very quick to find my position. I'm looking forward to using it when I go visit family in a week. Since I got about 24 hours drive one way, it will get some good road use.
I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.
First off pro and con
* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.
Pros
* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.
* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.
*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving
Con's
* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.
*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

So this is a smart watch that works with other phones not just Sony. Was just gonna start researching this. Love the galaxy gear but didn't want the note 3. So I got G2. Are there other manufacturers doing this.

Ehhhh I think it's more of a vanilla feel, meaning obviously no TouchWiz stuff. I'm trying to find direct xda links, but here you go for now...

Yes this one work with all androids. I like the fact that I don't have to go to my pocket to check to see about a message. I don't always feel it when it vibrates since I don't like the sound. Its really easy to see it sun light just not in the dark with out turning on the back light

Letting y'all know I'll be returning the smart watch just the few days I've had it the watches battery got better but my phones battery dropped from 5 hours of screen on to 1-1/12 hrs. I'm not around a charger that often. I can't have it die on me that quick. I loved it just thought it would help battery life since I wouldn't be turning the screen on that often

Several manufacturers produce computers with physical keys for typing. A simple google search revealed a plethora of products that seem designed for word. And added benefit you can send files to google drive if your into that sort of thing.
Hope that helps!

First post..did you sign up just to be a ****?
I'd say Evernote, it may surprise you but it's really good, you can use it wherever you are, it's safe, easy to use, it can work offline
Check it out, it might work for you
Documents to go or officepro suite would be my recommendations.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of book is it?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah officepro is a good one, you have to pay for it though and I don't think you can sync your stuff with the computer if you want to work on it as well, at least not as well as Evernote, but it's a good option too
Good luck with your book
I got office pro suite for free as an Amazon FAOTD. It saves as a word document, so i usually email or usb transfer the files.

Cheers guys will give them all a try. Sure one will work for me.
Here's the prologue if you like it let me know.
A darkened room four floors up overlooking an abandoned street in Croydon. Rain crashed against the windows, like waves smashing against a ship in a deadly storm. Would this be where the inevitable demise of a turmoiled Sam met his end. God knows, after all he had been through over the last twenty four hours, he didn't have the fight left in him to make it out alive.
A bolt of lighting struck the building, knocking out the power and plummeting Sam into darkness, which he had been longing for for some time now. A earth trembling rumble of thunder shook the building to the core for what seemed like a life time. Then nothing.....silence. From out of the silence, foot steps could be heard in the distance ever getting louder and closer. Sam wasn't concerned by whoever was coming for him. After all this was his hunting ground and he had seen so many come before and all of them had fell at his hands.
The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the building and quickly filled the hallway outside. Every thing fell eerily silent once again. Sam was cornered with no way out, but his facial expression had not once changed over the last eight years. He was a calm and collected killer, with no regard for the smucks sent to kill him. He knew what he needed to do, and was yet to fail. He was the perfect killing machine, But maybe this time he had underestimated his enemies....
"Too late now" Sam muttered to himself as torch lights eclipsed the door frame. The door burst open and bright lights engulfed the room.....
FLASHBACK TO 48 HOURS EARLIER...

Sorry my first try at writing a book. Thought how hard can it be lol only ever read half a James Patterson book and got bored. other than books years ago in English at school. What would you suggest, would meet his end be better?

Somewhat on topic ~ I wish there were Tinderbox, Scrivener equivalents for Android, I would most certainly pay Top dollar for this. Any devs. working on something that offers these features but takes advantage of sPen inputs?

His demise is his end, so "Would this be where the inevitable demise of a turmoiled Sam met his end" doesn't actually make sense.
"Would this be where Sam met his demise?" or "would this be where Sam met his end?" would make sense. To write noirish stuff well put down the Patterson and pick up some Chandler.
Anyway.
On the same note, and sadly accepting that I'll probably be writing much less interesting things than a novel for the foreseeable... is it possible to work using dropbox as if it were a local folder? That is can I open a doc in my dropbox folder on my Note 10.1, work on it, save it, and then pick it up on another device via dropbox as well? So far I've not worked this out but it would be the most seamless way for me to work the way I'd like to.
Use drop box Sync You can set it to automatically back up a local folder to dropbox SO One reflect the changes in the other

I'm looking for an app that does what field trip app does but for Canada.
Basically I want to plan a road trip point A to point B and have it show me interesting places to stop along the way.
Anyone know of such an app that is not American only?

According to my buddy who lives in Canada field trip works for him there, at least he says it does in the Alberta area for him anyway. I would however also recommend taking a look at the app TouristEye that marks out interesting places along the way.
Thanks shrimp208. The field trip app does work for me but it's made for U.S so there is nothing listed for many areas.
Same goes for the touristeye app you suggested. Too bad because it looks to be just what I was looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though.

After doing a little more research I came up with another app that is similar to TouristEye meant specifically for Canada called GoExplore Canada.
Is there a way to remove it from the screen? It tends to cover up a lot of watch faces.
Thanks

Something may be wrong. If it's always there, that could possibly run the battery down really fast. Depending on the watchface, the wording doesn't show up. On some of the stock faces, the face lights up, but no words show, which I like lol. But that may be because I am on the gohma rom. LOL.
But before that, the words should disappear within a few seconds. If it doesn't try a few other watchfaces and see if goes away. Does it even show when in dimmed mode? If so you may need to first try rebooting the watch and if that doesn't work, try doing a complete reset of the watch. Unless someone else can chime in. GL
Mine shows then disappeares fairly quickly. But its annoying that it covers up text on some watch faces. Is it watch dependent then?

Yup! When I first got it, it only showed for the first couple screen wakes. I think my watch updated and now it wont go away.
