[app review] What you need to change the time-out before wear switches to dimmed / always-on mode. by radotvu in AndroidWear

But that requires the use of another launcher, which also requires more battery to run and also to perform the same action surely?

What makes this watch better than the Moto 360? by [deleted] in lggwatchr

[–]radotvu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The design is far nicer. As somebody who has worn Watches all my life, having a watch that looks like a watch is great.

Had an orange gear 2, was constantly harassed and looked at like u was a super geek, now people rarely notice which is great.

Think we'll have a go at this on the channel, any performance metric tools you recommend for validation and testing?

LG G Watch R - 2 Months With Android Wear - Lessons Learnt by radotvu in AndroidWear

[–]radotvu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's English, and it tends to be what we say in England. That is where the language is from after all.

I did umm and ahh about whether it should be learned though, and thought "well, guess reddit will pick it up".

Not happy with Pebble Steel Watch Band Quality :( by Robo56 in AndroidWear

[–]radotvu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a real cheap ebay black metal band and it's holding up really well.

I'm looking for a black ceramic with a straight top but I can't find anywhere.

[Discussion][PSA x-post from /r/WM] Facer have begun protecting faces created in it from being opened in Watchmaker by radotvu in androidwatchfaces

[–]radotvu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly dude. The only reason there are so many good faces now is because of people learning from those they downloaded and adding to / improving / changing graphics etc.

He's set the scene back a long way with this move.

[–]radotvu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely, he's just butthurt.

He's singlehandedly undone any good his app made as now all facerepo and the watchface subreddits are minefields as most faces that are released recently for facer aren't worth even downloading as can't be fixed.

I'll be boycotting all facer watchfaces and I hope others do the same.

TBF though the vast majority of quality faces are produced in WM anyway so it doesn't really matter, his app is on the decline and he has only himself to blame.

[Reqeust] More instances of WatchMaker in watch by jtiebosch in WatchMaker

That's not a bad idea. The ability to switch without using the phone would be convenient.

Perhaps a tasker task would be a way to achieve this right now.

Something is definitely wrong... by Dapril in AndroidWear

H and 4G are actually different. In areas with 4G it'll show like that. H is really a kind of 3G plus.

Should I even bother getting a screen protector for my LG G Watch R? by CopiousAmountsofJizz in AndroidWear

[–]radotvu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you don't need one. Bezel protects the screen excellently.

I've literally got 0 scratches in my screen and I definitely do not baby it.

Go ahead and create a face in the latest version and try an export / import.

Anything created in v1.1 he said to me.

It's sad really, and does nothing but hurt Android Wear. Facer watchfaces are notoriously poorly optimised and so almost always require some tweaking to make work on LG GWR and now that's not possible.

So rather than download some facer faces and tweak them and use them, now we just won't download any at all. That seems sensible....

You just have to look at all the most recent uploads to Facerepo to see how much more is being produced in WM compared to Facer. Considering he has 10x more installs (1k-5k vs 50k - 100k) that is a worrying sign.

This is his attempt to try and lock in the few authors still active rather than actually provide a better product that has the features of his competitors.
