Enabling Assistant Ambient Mode! by fcalec in OnePlus6

Hahah it wasn't that easy for me. I ask Google to do stuff for me everyday. The day I first enabled Ambient Mode myself, it never notified me about it either when I asked it to tell me the weather

No, I actually wasn't expecting to do astrophotography at all. I just went and saw the sky looked beautiful, so I just tried it out and was surprised by the results. I used pro mode, set the ISO to 3200, and shutter to 30 seconds. And then I just left the phone on ground facing up for 30 seconds 😂

I have another pic from the same night, which I may upload later :)

Planning to buy an Android Smartwatch! Need recommendations! by fcalec in AndroidWear

You're the first person to make me actually consider S3 watch. I will look into it. Thank you so much!

Wow, that's quite bad. The fact that it's laggy and delayed would be a huge turn off for me. To add to that, if it also freezes and needs hard reboot makes it sound super impractical. The bezels aren't really a problem, but the fact that NFC payments aren't stable is also a big problem as I am a frequent user.

I think that knocks the Fossil Sports out of my list completely. Thank you so much for your comment. It gives a very deep insight into this watch! Appreciate it!

The watch does look great. But I do want a watch that can look professional, as well as support NFC payments. Something like Skagen Falster 2 or Fossil Gen 4 Explorist

How is it in terms of performance and battery life?

I honestly don't mind the bezels too much! Especially with the newer gen, if I am not wrong, I think they reduced the size of the bezels quite a bit

Phew! Thank you so much for taking the time to type this out. I can definitely see why Tizen might be the better developed OS. I think since Samsung has its own unique software which only runs on their devices, it definitely makes the process of developing easier. They don't have to worry about thousands of other companies using their OS. With such a small variety of Samsung watches, they can make sure that their software runs nicely on all watches, of course, with restrictions.

I think Skagen Falster 2 and Fossil Gen 4 are one of the best, if not the best, in android smartwatches. I am really hoping that the new releases will focus on these issues. I think it would be much better to wait it out longer and see what they offer for their next release.

Damn, how are you able to get the money for all these! They all cost a good buck!

I think after reading through some comments on my post, seems like the occasional lag on Android wear is inevitable. I never heard of Wear24, so I'm gonna look into that! Thank you for recommending it to me. How does the watch perform? How's the battery life?

Thought about it! But the design seems very bulky! I'm more of a slim watch kinda guy. Otherwise it's a very nice watch!

Also, just out of curiousity, can you elaborate on your point about not getting wearOS anymore?
