Hi all,
I switch from a lg gwatch r to a 2nd gen moto 360. I really love it except for low-bit ambient mode.
Now the Gwath R had normal ambient mode and i was wondering if it is posible to switch the moto 360's low-bit ambient mode to normal ambient mode?
I think that at the moment there is no option from Motorola to turn it off, but I am 100% sure that if you unlock the bootloader and modify the sytem files, probably the build.prop, there is a way to do it. I would test it, but the 46mm version is currently not available at Motorola.

Ok Thanks... i have the 42mm version here. Please let me know if you find anything.
Ordered my watch today (46mm version available again). I will post here if I find a way to disable the low-bit ambient mode.
I'm interested to

You got your watch? Any luck trying to disable low-bit?
unfortunately not, those idiots at Motorola paused my order, because I ordered a Moto X Style 2 weeks before. They said it's a fraud protection. I don't know what genius coded that ordering system. Probably he thought that no one orders in the same shop twice
I got my 46mm a few days ago and if there's anything I can try to help with this I'd be glad to. I would also like to at least partially disable the low-bit mode(at least make it greyscale).
Just got an e-mail that my watch has been shipped. Yippie Yah Yei Schweinebacke! :laugh: I will keep you guys informed.

Any news?
got it yesterday. Had no time to tinker with it. Looking into it at the weekend. Some patience please
I also don't know if it's as easy as I think.
EDIT, 31.10.2015
Ok, just had a look. It's not as easy to do as I thought. Coming from an LG G Watch R and having an easy USB connection through the charging puck I thought it would be easy to unlock the bootloader and modify system files, but that's the problem now. You can get an ADB shell through bluetooth debugging, but no fastboot access to unlock the bootloader and without that we can not modify "/system/build.prop" and disable this "ro.ambient.low_bit_enabled=true"
There is a lip at the back of the watch, probably to open it up, but I have fear to break the back. Anyone brave enough in here? :laugh:
Because there should be the same points the guy is using here: YouTube

The lip on the back removes the plastic ring around the glass back(its glued on) underneath are some what i beleave are contact points but there not next to each other but randomly all around.
ok, I sacrificed my watch for science :laugh:
And it played out really well. I just did some quick measurements and it looks like those are indeed the debugging pads. I already found out which pad is for GND. The greatest problem I see is how to secure the cables on the pads without soldering and without a Motorola custom data cable?
hmm, I already have an idea, but no time at the moment. Perhaps at the weekend.

Thanks for your initiative. I received my moto 360 2nd gen last friday, went through unpacking and inital setup, installed my favourite watchfaces - and ended up sadly disappointed because of that horrible dim mode.
Coming from the LG Watch R I thought the slightly dimmed but otherwise full resolution and colored face would be "normal" - I had no idea concerning those different dim-modes Google Wear has to offer.
I'll attach a photo with both watches in dim mode. And this is one of the better choices
Hope there will be a solution soon, or I probably will return my moto within the next 2 weeks.

We just received this phone as well and will be putting a full review up soon on youtube and the site. It appears the phone is either an OEM or copy (more likely) ZP800H / ZP810. Beyond looks and specs, it installs "ZP800H" drivers when plugged into a PC.
I will have a full video review up soon on the site today and attempt some auto root methods as well.

Okay, the good news is the phone isn't bricked. Bad news is Bin4ry method certainly doesn't work. Tried both normal and special modes.
I bought this phone pre-rooted from MeriMobiles. If by the time i get it (2 weeks give or take) there is no root, i'll be happy to share a dump of the rom to help get it rooted

That means your phone is an A9600, not an H7500+

the H7500+ has a 720p screen.

Yes, that is what I said I have in my original post, I mentioned the other ones because I'm told mine is pretty much a clone of them at least with regards to size and looks of the phone. It's not too common of a phone, I haven't seen much in the way of information on this phone, just thought it was a very decent phone ( better than my SG2 in most all areas)
My son suggested maybe seeing if I could find information on rooting it, hense my post and question here.
ahhhh, i always forget you can have titles on posts on this forum >_<
I think MT6890 phones are a bit too new, thus the lack of development so far. Should pick up at least enough to get root soon
Its okay. Unfortunately the screen got cracked tonight by accident Messaged the supplier but not sure what they can do for me. I only just got the phone a few days ago. Hopefully I can send it back to get a screen replacement. Thank you for your replies.
Hi, I bought this phone also (h7500+) and I'm very pleased with it, my only problem is the GPS is having a very hard time getting a lock, so I need to root it to modify gps.conf
Anyone find a way yet?

Does your phone come with CWM or just with the stock recovery(3e)? If it has CWM installed, you can root it easily with a flashable zip file.

Thanks for the reply. I just checked, and sadly it is the stock recovery (3e). I would try to flash CWM if there was a way, but I don't think there is without a bricking yet.
I also found there is a factory mode for this phone however (pwr + vol dwn) and it contains a plethora of options, problem is, it's all in chinese. I saw an option called GPS, it was followed by chinese characters, so I was too afraid to select anything.

take a look on this link, it has a detiled guide on how to root the phone.

have a nice day.
p.s. since im new to this forum, i cant post links to external sites, just remove the [dot] from the link and replace it with . and it should lead you to the website.
How did you manage to crack the screen? Is this a glass screen by the way?
I really like my H7500+, have it since March 19 and I really love the extremely great WiFi coverage. The GPS works with mine, takes about 2 to 3 minutes to get a sat lock. I tried Sygic today, just on my way home (walking) and the signal from the satellites seem to be strong enough.
great phone, a bit heavy, true, yet still a great phone.

Hi i installed the truesmart master on my phone and osmart companionon TS but when i pair my phone with TS it says that Network access point of my phone is unavailable...
What am i doing wrong?
You are doing nothing wrong. Omate errors in the TrueSmart firmware cause this. Known issue all this year, but Omate has never fixed it. Don't expect them ever to.
so now i cant use it like companion nor like a phone(my signal is so poor)
Really nice brand
Not a nice brand and not at all a nice company. Avoid Omate, their parent company Umeox, and MTK products in the future.
I did find that with a sim chip from T-Mobile in my TrueSmart I could share its internet data connection with other devices through tethering them to the TrueSmart. This worked well, except the TrueSmart battery did not last long. I don't think that will help you much.

If you are up for the challenge, install [ROM] 07.06 EnSec STOCK Secure + Root. You should see better battery life. After that, install Cyril's SWApp Link for companion capability.

But as I said I want to pass the semester at September so after that I ll do it :good:
I m also in a thinking to send it back to fix my 3g antenna (if there is a problem) but im worried that I ll have it back next December
Putting any information on an unpatched TS is not unlike leaving your door wide open when you leave and hoping nothing gets stolen.
If you have had it more than 5 days then good luck getting it fixed. See very bottom of page
SWApp Link with bluetooth
I have that delayed bluetooth notification issue with all roms/firmware tested(1900NA)...Is there anything I can do? is this an isolated issue with just my device? Do I have to wait for Kit Kat? LOL

If you want to solve this, you have to exercise. Or you can lie to your watch and check "sport mode" anyway. Since I have done it (the second one) this morning, I receive notifications immediately. Soon I will see the impact on battery.
Thanks MrTip. Unfortunately it dies in less than 7 hours in sport mode with minimal use. Errr.
sport mode is a joke

Also, sport mode is a joke ! When screen is off, you can still click on it. You can randomly launch apps and change settings without knowing what you are doing. Congrats, another feature made useless by poor judgment.
My bluetooth notification delay issue stopped when the SD card was removed. It returned when the SD was returned. WTF?

Yeah..it's pretty great all around. I really dig it and I'm happy for the most part.
It does have some quirks about it that I'd attribute to the way LG does some things. The stupidity involving the backlight bleed on the second screen is an embarrassment of engineering and the peculiar way the screen brightens and dims at times even though the auto sense is turned off.
I come from a rooted Note 3 with a really clean custom ROM.

Hell ya. I like the second screen i use it as a media player options. The time and date, and quick short cuts to contacts. The camera is awesome. I do love it and see its a bit better then the g4. No needing to mod this camera like i did on my g4. This camera seems to work with my green screen with the manual video options. It make chroma keying easyer as it feels plus i control the color temp . My g4 wants to stay in a warmer color then cool but its because the lighting. So far i love this phone and i can study more into photography and video editing
Just started using it today. Seems like it works okay so far. Anybody else use it? Have you been able to trick it? Just curious about how well it works and security on it.

I find it not working correctly more often than not, however, that is because I only really use it while my phone is lying down, so the angle of my face might be tripping it up. I can't imagine what it will be like on the iphone x where this is the only way to unlock the phone. Holding my phone up to my face is not how I want to unlock my phone every time.

Sorry for bringing this old thread up again, but i wanted try the face unlock option recently and i can't find it anymore.

Hi everyone,
Somehow, I lost the Capture+ app after Verizon's last OTA update to Oreo. I absolutely love using the app for taking screenshots. Would someone be so kind enough to post the APK file for me, if at all possible? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! ?
Volume down + power button gives you screenshots. Has always, and still will.

Well, I'm on TMO, and I don't recall seeing that app on my H932, but on facebook they have figured out a way to prevent screenshots while on facebook.... maybe that app can bypass the browser/facebook restriction....
I don't have that app either on my US998 and never did. But you don't need it. Volume down plus power button (at the same time) will take screenshot.
I think I have a capture thingy on my phone. It's a four corner square with a pen or pencil inside it. I'm on Verizon vs996 with 8.0.0.

Chazz, do you have any recommendations or tips for us non bootloader unlocked guys?

On initial setup make sure you enable app drawer (it's not the default choice, instead ALL your apps on desktop is default choice).
Nova launcher, custom icon pack, install Blokada from F-Droid for ad blocking.
Enable Developer Options, turn on GPU rendering. Also, set all animation transitions to 0.5.
For right now, keep all camera settings on auto until you are sure. On selfie camera, turn down to zero all lighting and fleshtone adjustments.
I have screenshots of all my settings. I can upload them somewhere maybe this weekend.

Right now this is the phone that gives me as much or more than the 2014 Moto Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx) phone -- which was a cutting edge phone that was hard to surpass for at least two years.
Thnx, ChazzMatt. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the unlocked boot loader. I'm already missing getting into some of my apps that require root, specifically, Moaab, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
But, I will get over it, and, who knows, maybe someday someone will root it? Probably not, but maybe.
Unfortunately, I can't get the finger print reader to recognize my fingerprint. Apparently my fingerprint is somewhat worn away. It will work on others fingerprints, just not mine.
I bought a nice little Incipio case for it and screen from Verizon. Apparently, this LG is not a big seller here in Flagstaff, so they don't carry much in accessories for it. These were the only ones theyhad for it. And, he had to look for several minutes before he found them. He said they only sold about one LG v30 a month.
Nice phone, I really like it. Thanks for your guidance on it.

One trick you can use for fingerprint sensor is to "add" another fingerprint, but still use the same finger. That way you can get even more angles of the same finger. I have both index fingers (both hands) added as like 4 different fingers.

I don't have that app either on my US998 and never did. But you don't need it. Volume down plus power button (at the same time) will take screenshot.

It's not really an app I don't think. It's just a tile in notifications tray. You have the same version phone as I and I have it
Chazz, I've tried that many times. My fingers do not register, but others do (6 year old g-son, daughter in law, worker at Verizon). I've tried thumb, forefinger, etc, of both hands. It just won't click on my fingers, so now I'm using face recognition, not as safe maybe, but it does work.
Thnx for the suggestion.
OP, Galaxy princess, did you ever find the capture app?
I just downloaded the v30 owners manual and it does reference the capture+ in it a few times. I am on Verizon Oreo 8.0.
Pull down the status bar at the top of the phone and you will see it there.
Also with the screen off, click the volume up button twice to open it up.
I did try those two on my phone and it did work. If you've already found it, then please disregard my post.
I had the same issue after I deleted the app called QuickMemo+. I added it back through Settings, General, Update Center, App Updates. Once it was installed again, the Capture+ icon was back when I swiped down.

This is why people have to be very careful removing "bloatware". A lot of useful stuff is interconnected.
