I agree with this guy using you phone as a bluetooth dongle is like hitting an ant with a sledge hammer. They are so small and cheap you might as well buy multiple and leave them around.

but to answer you question no I checked all the markets on my phone and none had anything like that also this thread is the 2nd google hit so thats no help either.

This phone is frickin AWESOME!!

I don't know that I've had something THIS nice before. I've had an iPhone for a while and the app store is nice but this phone with the Android system is really neat.
I've got Call Recorder working that records both sides of any call I want. It'll even upload to google or evernote if I want.
The pictures and videos it takes are great.
The screen is great, the blacks are black. I love it!!

i am stuck deciding between an asus laptop with bluray and 1gb gfx card or a SGSII... this is a dilemma, for real

Been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger few hours ago from Clove. Better be worth all those pennies. My 2-year old Magic got toooo slow to be usable
Hoping the Airmail shipping will let me avoid the tax man when it gets to Canada

These both devices are very different frm each others. How you can replace a laptop with a mobile in ur pocket

mm, good to know
what app are you using to do phone call recording?
I have yet to find one, let us know.

Swapped from the atrix and never looked back. Getting 7 hours standby per 10% of battery so I'm lucky I don't have the battery drain issue. Though having said that, the screen really sucks up power when you've got it on.

Call Recorder by Killer Mobile was just updated to work with this phone. Use profile C when setting it up (I didn't know so this will save you some time). It is a really cool program!!

I'm completely in love with this phone, Im so glad I ordered it from the UK

I feel the same way as all of you. Just got the SGS2 Friday night and absolutely love it. I rooted it within a few hours as I wanted to Titanium backup but for now I am totally happy on stock. The phone is absolutely brilliant. I love surfing webpages now, no more lag even if I choose to play a flash video within the page. Video recording is amazing too. I was a little nervous reading about issues people were having but I have experienced none.
I also love that you can turn the soft keys off or extend how long they are on for. Samsung really thought things through on the design of this phone.

Man, I can't wait to get my hands on mine! Why did it have to be a bank holiday in UK today?!

Can't wait for mine to get here. Possible be happy with a phone for awhile...

I received my SGSII from handtec yesterday i really like it its my first android phone me previous phone was satio which was horrible but i loved it camera

Is your old NB good enough to soldier on? If so buy this as you'll find it will replace your NB for all but the heaviest of functions. Me I'm caught between this and anAcer Revo 100. I'm worried they will stop selling the revo....

Word of advice, don't update to KE7. Stick to KE2, hard reset and freeze the bloat. You will get good battery life.

[Q] Unbranded sixaxis controller wont pair

Brought a unbranded sixaxis controller, it started to worry me because it didn't affect my nexus 7 while connected via usb on the stock rom.
And then I rooted to paranoid android and its still the same.
Thought that it might work via bluetooth so I used the sixaxis pair tool and changed the bluetooth address and it wont pair, then i used usb cable to pair controller on the sixaxis app and it said "master address updated" but it doesnt pair and the lights keep on flashing on the controller.
Please help!! I want to play games >:|

Buy the branded controller. It's expensive, but will last a lifetime if you don't drop it too much.

Yeah but is there any way to get this one to work?!
It has Bluetooth its just not syncing with six axis app
If I'd had known I would have brought the official one!!!

When you download the Sixaxis app from the Play Store it warns you about it not working with unofficial controllers.

Try plugging controller into your ps3. That might reset the master address.

That's the chance you take buying an unofficial controller. It MIGHT work. Yours does not work. You should be able to still use it wired, though.

You've got the USB OTG adapter and it plugged in using a game that supports gamepads? Have you tried using https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wb2tlNjQ3MzgudXNiam95Il0. ?

Most likely has to do with a different product/vendor ID on the controller itself. I have no idea how the sixaxis app recognizes official controllers; but if it does it via vendor/product ID check, in theory, adding your ID to the list should work.
Going about doing this though, I have no idea.

He has an unofficial controller currently. I'm sure if he had an official one, this probably wouldn't be an issue. If you want to buy him an official controller though... I don't see him refusing it

No kidding. He's asking for advice and I'm telling him to cut his losses and buy the official. He's clearly not getting the unofficial Chinese knock off to work. It will not work with six axis.

I'm a poor student, I don't have £30 to spend on a controller! Although I would have preferred to have not wasted my time on this cheap one and got an official one instead!

Yea, the same thing happened to myself. I was just looking around on Ebay, when I saw a $7.50 "PS3 Six-Axis Controller" It didn't work..
I'm not sure if it would work with anything.

Yeah and I thought that at least it would work with another app once rooted like the USB/BT joystick app. Especially as there's people using all sorts of random controllers with their nexus 7's.
Have you not been able to get it to work at all?

No I haven't gotten it to work with anything. I sent a few emails to the guys behind USB/BT Joystick Center 6 (Poke64738) and they basically told me that they wouldn't be able to get it working w/o the actual device to tinker with.
I ended up getting an iControlPad. It works really good, but the D-Pad is just glued on to the silicon membrane. Which means that it will fall off eventually.
This is what my D-Pad looks like after gluing it back on about 6 times -_- (before I scrapped the glue off) You can notice that there isn't any rim to hold it in like the second picture. with the regular buttons.
These are old pictures I used to make a support ticket on there site. They ended up sending me a new membrane with a D-Pad glued down already for free. So I can vouch for there customer service, not there build quality... I have three A buttons on one controller. XD?
The iControlPad 2 looks like it's got the same setup as well, really a shame.

Yes it is, I was just wondering if anyone else was one of the original contributors. The first 200 were able to get it for a contribution of $99 and the next 2,000 were able to pick one up for a contribution of$149. I should be getting mine delivered in August as I got a chance to be one of the 2,000 contributors.

Well not sure on the watch, when you go through their slides on the home page they said tree colors instead of three colors. So what does that say about the product?

Its a French company and obviously the sites moderator/creator has a language barrier. They actually have a previous product that has been successful but it was geared towards being used as a workout companion paired with a smartphone.

Just a quick note to all, the Vea team slightly changed their design by using an LG screen which has several people pissed, although I personally still like it.
With that said, if any of you are interested, be on the lookout for some folks selling theirs since they do not want to keep the watch once it has been shipped.

Nice, didn't know they hit ebay already. Got mine in April and I can't complain too much about it, only problem I'm having is that my google account has authentication enabled so the gmail notifications don't work unless I remove the authentication, but otherwise it's pretty nice.
I've been in touch with the founder/owner and asked her if she feels the hardware is capable of carrying the Android 4.4w

WIME Nano Smartwatch, looks nice

Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

D'oh. I missed it, I went straight down to the pictures. Either that or the page didn't load completely the first time. Either way, thank you!
That's not a bad price point at all... maybe a mini server or media player...

Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.

Is it ok to say that it looks kinda...ugly?
Or is it just me?

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/

You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?

I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.
