Hello, I would like to buy a smart watch for my phone. My first requorement is that I want silent my phone with it. In class I usually find it troublesome to make it silent. Second I want to check my Facebook notification and see who is calling, accept or reject calls. Which smart watch would allow this?
Sony smartwatch 2 will do as I know

X2, I have the motoactv, metawatch, and Sony smartwatch 2.
They will all do what you want but the smartwatch 2 has been the most minimal cost/headache. I did have to get a paid app to get my sms working but now that I've hammered out the issues I'm pretty happy.
The downside is the smartwatch 2, is the hardest and most non-hackable watch out right now.
I use my smartwatch 2 to monitor my phone, switch, ringer/vibrate/silent, turn Bluetooth/Wifi on and off, and notifications.
You could wait a little longer as the google/apple/qualicom watches should be announced or out very soon.

May also want to keep an eye on the SmartQ Z Watch.
I have smartq z watch for 4 days, I like that it can get ALLLL the notifications if you wanted, from every app on your phone, .. it basically takes everything comes to your notification bar in your android device and show it in your smartwatch, and by anything I mean ANYTHING! FB, Whatsapp, BBM,SMS, Hangouts ... etc you dont need special app to get notifications.
If there are more than one notification of same app, they will be grouped, you will get like "2 Whatsapp messages" instead of the content, .. but thats how android notification bar works by default you have to expand to see more info, wish you could expand content from watch, Also, just like normal android notifications in your phone, if you dismissed the notifications in your watch after seeing them you will not be able to retrieve it from watch
You can decide what apps you want push notifications for. there is a list of userapps and system apps in the sync app you tick / untick apps that you want to push the notification
I find that having bluetooth headset connected to your phone + z watch connected to your phone is ideal.
when a call comes, the caller id and picture appears in your watch, and you can answer and reject, .. if you answer you can directly use your bluetooth headset to talk and receive voice without even lifting your phone
The watch also has 3.5 headphone jack and a microphone, .. so technically you can do calling **** tracy style lol, .. but if you have a bluetooth headset it would be a lot more ideal IMO.
for SMS you can reply using pre-defined templates (you can customize those from the sync app)
seems smartq z watch is a good choice.

By theory it should. Since its an android device running 4.3. So its not device specific most probably.
Hi Guys,
I had been looking for a working call recording solution for the Moto X for a long time. None of the recording apps worked for me - they either only recorded via the mic so you couldn't hear the other party, or they didn't work at all.
Finally, I tried the recently-updated Call Recorder by @skvalex , link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
ROOT IS REQUIRED
This app works perfectly to record calls. I'm not sure when the update was made to be compatible with the Moto X, but it definitely works now. Both sides of the conversation are recorded with excellent quality. The app costs $9.95 but it well worth the cost, IMO. It has a very CLEAN and polished UI and it just works!
I like that the app gives you a non-intrusive record button located in the top right corner. It doesn't cover any of the dial-er buttons or obstruct caller-id. It works for both incoming and outgoing calls as well.
I'm using the Republic Wireless Moto X -- the only "flaw" that I have found (and it probably ONLY applies to the RW Moto X and not the other variants) is that automatic call recording does not work when a call is placed or received over WiFi. Not an issue for me though, as I prefer to not automatically record all calls (I have it set to manual record only), and only record the conversations that I want by simply tapping the record button. This works perfectly on both WiFi and Cell.
In addition, the call recorder continues to work flawlessly even when the call is handed over from WiFi to Cell (seamless WiFi to Cell handover is part of Republic Wireless's unique hybrid calling features).
I don't care for the "persistent notification", so I have used Gravity Box to hide the notification. Everything still works flawlessly even with the persistent notification hidden.
I'm very impressed with skvalex's work here! Additionally, he even offers a 2 week trial version that you can download here on XDA! Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643 < This way you can be absolutely sure the app will meet your needs before buying it.
This can come in handy for NUMEROUS reasons. I won't get into all of that - if you have a need to record calls, you have your own reasons.
And lastly, the disclaimer: CALL RECORDING IS ILLEGAL IN SOME JURISDICTIONS!!! Make absolutely sure this is legal for you to use. In my state, only one party is required to know that they are being recorded. Since I am the other "party" and I know I'm recording my calls, this makes it perfectly legal for me to use.
DEFINITELY check your local laws before you use this. If you record someone in a jurisdiction where it is illegal, you may find yourself in a great deal of legal trouble.
@skvalex : I hope you don't mind the promotion I'm giving you here. I tried every call recorder known to man and none of them worked for me. I was absolutely thrilled to find that yours works flawlessly with my Moto X. Thanks!!!!
EDIT 8/20/14:
I figured out how to get call recorder to work with TowelPieRoot Temp-root!
All you have to do is go into settings and change the recording path to /sdcard/voix
For some reason (on temp roots with no write access) you cannot use the default path of /storage/emulated/0/voix - it appears that this only works with /system write access for some reason....
Anyways, those of you with locked bootloaders on 4.4.2 or earlier (even with write-protection enabled) can now use Call Recorder in conjunction with TowelPieRoot!!
ENJOY!
Thanks for the info. I wish more options existed for recording phone calls on Android, whenever I mention it as something I'm looking for in a ROM people usually jump to the conclusion that it's for surreptiously recording conversations but it has plenty of legitimate uses, in journalism for example.
Installed the trial from the link in the description in the play store. You get it free for 2 weeks. I did a test call to my answering machine at work, and it worked flawlessly. Not sure when I'll actually use it outside of maybe calling Comcast to cancel my service soon.
Also talking to people that are very special to you and maybe you don't speak to them but very rarely and they pass away. You have they're voice to comfort the memories. As i lost my brother and best friend to suicide lately and there is not a app on Google play that i would have wanted more on my phone. Anyway thanks for the app @skvalex and thanks @samwathegreat for the thorough heads up as you always do for our community friend..

I have a XT1080M Droid Maxx 2013.
I'm assuming since my phone is basically the same as your Moto X then Call Recorder should work on mine as well unless:
1) Yours is rooted and you're using one of the root methods (Mine's stock).
2) Differing Android version (Mine's 4.4.4).
I'll give the trial version a go if yours is running similar to mine. If not, I'll wait to see what the future brings as far as unlocking my bootloader first! ?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that ROOT is required. I will add that to the OP. Other than that, it should work find on the Maxx. Hope you are able to unlock soon.

My phone is not rooted,BL locked... kitkat 4.4.4 .. I installed the trial version,chose the only option available which is "standard api" as recording method for unrooted moto x. audio source -microphone/DEFAULT. BUT ALL RECORDINGS ARE STRANGE! THE VOICES ARE DOUBLED!!! EXAMPLE- HELLO,HELLO..WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? like that..
I tried all varities but failed... its not working for a unrooted moto x! NO CALL RECORDER WORKS FOR unrooted MOTO X . MINE CAME WITH 4.4.4 SO TECHNICALLY i CANNOT ROOT AS WELL AS RECORD CALLS!!!!
Is it just my device? I have tried uninstalling updates and re-installing them. yet, no luck.
I have been using Moto X 2013 since Oct 2013 and this is one of the features I really like as I have my phone completely muted when I'm home.
Doesn't work for me either.
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
I am very disappointed that this feature is not currently working as well. I use MightyText but i was looking forward to using an official moto app.
According to Matt on the support forum, Motorola has no plans to update the app to support the Chrome extension either.

And with that, the app has become total bloat.
Yeah, I disabled it. But I guess it useful to folks that have compatible devices to use it with.
MOTO X PURE EDITION!
That bites! I was looking forward to this since it is the only Chrome texting app I can get to work at my office.
Can I ask, what exactly was / is the Moto Chrome extension you're talking about? It sounds like it could be useful. I'm at my computer a LOT and was using a Google Voice number integrated into Hangouts on the desktop but Google Voice has been quirky lately so I'm switching back to using just my cell number from now on.
I have the Moto Surround and it's nice with Connect, and I would consider the Moto 360 but that stupid flat black sensor bar at the bottom... If Huawei can do a full circle display with the same sensors the Moto 360 has... why is Motorola incapable of going with a full circle display too? Ugh.
I may be returning the phone then, I have come to like this feature on both my X1 and X2. I also don't like the fact there is no email app either, it's on x2 which is running 5.1
ERROR!
Got this in my email today:

Two Things :
1. For texting from your desktop, I'd recommend PushBullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/). Android app, Chrome extension, does what you want it to do and more. I did hte same thing with Hangout / Google Voice but Voice just has so many quirks (esp iwth MMS and group messages) that it was untenable.
2. The Huwai watch does NOT have all the sensors that the 360 has -- in particular, no ambient light sensor. I notice the flat tire precisely zero percent of the time i'm using my watch. (I notice the ****ty battery life quite a bit, tho... )

Yeah but I cannot get pushbullet to be reliable for sending text. Sometimes when sending a new text it just sits there "sending..." then the message just disappears as if I never typed it. I am ok because Verizon has a desktop app that allows the texting from my PCs and it is a really good program. I am disappointed that Moto is spamming me with this feature from my phone (see my previous post), yet it is not there at all.
Got the same email and the same empty feeling when I tried to connect. And for the next person that says; "just use pushbullet". I would if I could, but it doesn't work at my office and this one has in the past, that is why I am on this thread.
Ah, sorry, didn't know people had issues with PushBullet.
If Motorola updates their Connect App to support the Moto X Pure, that'll be a nice solution for all of us without having to go 3rd party and possibly deal with additional battery draining.
Pushbullet is working ok for me.
Just to let you know.
I rooted my X and installed TWRP.
Then I followed Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-installing-xposed-framework-stock-t3192957
choosed V78-sdk22-arm
Works fine at least with the modules I checked.
There seems to be one issue with X-Privacy. Stopping the APP after changing restrictions seems to be not enough. Sometimes the changes applied until reboot.
With App-Settings I found something similar.
Concerning GravityBox on my OnePlus X, it seems that some options do not work even if there is no error message or so...
For example : coloring icons in the notification bar, and disabling secure sound level has no effect for me.
Also, some additional options added in the notification bar do not show their icons...
Did someone also noticed this?

Gravitybox is designed to work perfectly only with AOSP or AOSP like ROMs. The creators themselves have claimed that it doesnt work perfectly even on CM ROMs. So its no surprise here.
That being said, i still do use Gravitybox on my OPX without issues, albeit i have activated only a bare minimum of tweaks.

Does Pie control from gravitybox work? I've used the one in SlimKat and later resurrection remix and really like how it looks and functions and it's the only missing feature of Oneplus X for me.
Most of the modules work fine but Device Faker made my oneplus x do a bootloop! I had to flash the rom

Hey guys,
I am using XPrivacy but it is not working properly. Every time I start it a massage pops up saying internal check failed. Also when I set some restrictions to apps they do not work. Any idea what that might be?
@Phoost
Seems like your XPrivacy has problems, too. Have you been able to fix that?
Yes but it's minor. Ignore message and changes apply after restart.
@Phoost and @sexier : are you able to use the on demand feature?
For me, I also get the XPrivacy startup error message, but I get no on demand popups, and so.
In fact, I did some tests, and XPrivacy doesn't seem to work at all.
Other modules are working perfectly fine.
I did open an issue on the XPrivacy's github and trying to figure it out with the devs, but no luck so far :/
Please free to contribute if you have any insights!

"on demand" means asking to approve permission on the fly?
I never used this. I predefine all permission after installation.
I disabled Identification for "Protected App" - > no more pro
I disabled location for GPS Test - > no location
I disabled Internet for Opera - > still loads websites :crying:
So works for some but not all.
Which framework version you are using? V78?
Maybe the old one ist better.

Yes! That’s exactly the same problem that I have. No pop-ups or on-demand rules work. The ones that are marked with a “?".
I am still running an older version of XPosed v75. I did not have the time to make an update yet. On my other phones XPrivacy runs perfectly with v75. I guess an old version doesn’t really help then.
Bad. Hope dev's find something.
Please join the issue on GitHub : https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy/issues/2300
Or create yours if your problem isn't the same.
There are too few OPX users feedbacks on it, need more
Thanks for reporting this.
I add two comments to the thread.
Yep, I saw
Let see if the dev can figure it out. Else I'll switch to CM12.1 as soon as it'll be officialy available.
At least, we know that's a base on which xposed and xprivacy are proved to be working!
I'm starting to think that the way the apps permissions works in OxygenOS, is just messing with xprivacy.

I have a 6t and love it and looking to add a smart watch . I really a leaning towards the Samsung Gear Sport (or possibly an s3) over a Wear OS watch. I'm concerned over compatibility with it being a non Samsung phone and certain functionality not working . The main things i'm wondering about is SMS messages, Call info, email coming to the watch. The compatibility page for the Sport shows not compatible with non-samsung android for messaging specifically but i've read others say they had luck w/ it. (although i'm not certain if thats w/ the S3 or Sport). I'm curious if anyone w/ a 6 or 6t has had any experience w/ the Gear Sport (or s3) w/ those features specifically.
Beyond that the big things i am wanting to use is standalone GPS and offline music but dont think i'd have an issue w/ that
any feedback would be awesome! thank you!
i have 6t and gear s3. it works like any other android phones.
havent had any issue yet.
Awesome thank you. So if you get a text or email can you read it on the watch and reply? Incoming call info good too? I wonder if the same works on the sport too since it shows slightly different info on it's compatibility chart compared to the s3

yes, yes and yes
everything works as it should. I have S3 and absolutely no problems pairing and using it with 6T
Everything works as expected
I changed my S8 for an 6T and I don't have any problems with my Gear Sport. If you didn't bought a watch yet, I would suggest to go for S3, as Gear Sport doesn't have a mic and a speaker. Not heaving a speaker means that the watch will not ring on i coming calls and messages, it will only vibrate.
thank you both for your input on this! so i was partially hopeful that this would all work w/ the S3 since that compatibility chart shows "limited availability" for non samsung android for messaging and the Sport chart shows "not supported". so maybe its just an outdated chart or we're just getting lucky i guess. Support told me yesterday that w/ a non samsung android and the Gear Sport you'd get a notification that you have a SMS but you wouldnt be able to see who it was from or read it. hoping what you guys reported is the actual norm though! w/ SMS can you read the whole string of text convo or just the new message that arrived? not a big deal but was curious. I like the look of the S3 better but really like the waterproof part of the Sport. i'm not sure the speaker/mic is a big thing for me or not as i'd be fine w/ just vibration (as long as its sufficient)
I'm using Gear sport with OP6T and I don't have any issue.
I have the Gear S3 and everything works fine, but I should mention that I use Textra for SMS, not the crap default messaging app. I can read the full message and reply with quick replies or voice to text.

and just to make sure i'm on the same page you get gmail notifications and you can read them as well? (thats not as big a deal really as reading an email on a watch might be annoying). the sms and phone is bigger i think
thank you again for everyones help!
No issues with the OP6T & my gear 3 frontier.
Samsung pay, all functions I use work perfectly.
Awesome thank you everyone! And I assume you just needed the gear app to make it work? Is anyone willing to test with the standard Google messenger just to see if that works?

I got my Gear Sport and working great with my 6t! one thing missing is the Messenger app on the watch. I do get notifications for new texts and i can reply but cannot see past messages or the whole thread like it supposedly let you do w/ the messenger app. From what i gathered a lot of others are having the same issue and they used to have it sounds like. I'd bet its because its not a samsung phone so they stripped that feature from non -samsung which is super lame. is everyone else seeing the same thing?

Do you use Android Auto in your vehicle? Sometimes when I receive a call, my Gear s3 will take the call instead of my vehicle. Then in the speaker menu I can only see Bluetooth of my Gear s3, but does not show more that one Bluetooth option. It's frustrating. If I turn my watch off, it goes back to my vehicle. Once in a while it works fine, but I can't rely on it working.
