I'll be curious to see what the lag (delay) on this is like when streaming or mirroring from the phone to the TV (hopefully minimal)
It certainly looks a bit more elegant than the normal MHL cables

why would you need it for the nexus 4 given that it supports miracast out of the box?

Because this is the counter part you need to connect to the TV. What else do you think this device is for??

I wonder if the Sony IM10 support would extend to the Sony XPERIA M and XPERIA L
I can't see why it wouldn't unless there is some sort of screen size compatibility issue.... or something.

I wonder about the price...

Talked to a Sony representative yesterday on their chat, to fish for a release date.
All he could provide me with, was "sometime in december".
And he answered that this was for the northeren market.
About the price, the norwegian sony page just says coming soon.
But the english one has it up for "£79.99"
Anyone else heard any specific about dates?

Thanks for quoting the whole OP to add these 7 words...

Hopefully we can get this before christmas then
whats the difference between this kind of device and phone2tv?
Is it just the quality i'm guessing?

I pre-ordered mine through Clove (I live in the states) on 10/4/13. It was originally set to be released early November then changed to mid-November. I just emailed them asking for an update and received a response that they still expect it to arrive to them this week.

I think £79 a bit steep. Does chrome cast not do the same thing?

I don't think Chromecast can use WiFiDirect at this time which means you have to have an outside WiFi source. For me, I choose not to pay $160/month for cable and internet. This device will save me greatly because I have unlimited data with T-Mobile and can stream all I want.

Clove in the UK has the Sony IM10 listed for £66.66 but appear to awaiting stock at this time.

That's the ex vat price, it's £79.99 which is the rrp.

Don't expect too much from Miracast. I have it built-in to my TV and while it's great to show off a few photos or a webpage it's absolutely not smooth enough for video. It gets stuck from time to time, framerate is low, and the quality isn't brilliant when displaying video. You can't compare it to MHL.

I hope not. Your TV is Branded Sony? If not maybe under Sony Quality Menagement they have to put out a respectable device. I hope will be good because I want buy one. I am just worry about Audio and Video Synchronization when you transmit the signal.

It's one of the brand new Sony Bravias. Clean WiFi spectrum as I live in the middle of nowhere and the only WiFi network near is my own (which wasn't in use at the time).
You can't expect something that has to be encoded on the fly and transmitted over WiFi to be brilliant quality? It's OK for photos and low-quality video like I said, but it's nowhere near good enough for high quality video. Video looks like 480p on YouTube if you play it through Miracast. Sound is good though.

You right. That is to much for that kind of device but you have to admit, it's very convenient. We are not ready yet for 1080p via Wi-Fi.

Mi Band: Xiaomi's fitness smart wristband

I'm not sure whether the right forum to post this thread.
Does anybody know about the new wristband that Xiaomi launched yesterday?

You won't see any screen on it, even no LED screen to show the time.
But it doesn't mean Mi Band is bland or worthless. I think it's quite powerful.:good:
- Unlock your phone via bluetooth without passcode (using BLE)
- Fitness monitor: track various health metrics and sync with your phone
- Sleep tracker and smart alarm: vibrate to wake you up during light sleep
- Notification: vibrate and flicker when you receive a new SMS or call
- Waterproof with the rating of IP67: you can wear it when showering
- 30 days standby when full charged
And the most awesome thing is, it's very cheap: only $13! It must be one of the cheapest smart band on the market.
But there are some cons:
No screen. However this makes the battery life longer.
It's only compatible with Mi 3 or Mi 4 with Android 4.4 based MIUI (It's the worst thing! )
Any ideas about Mi Band? Will you buy one if you had a Mi 3 or Mi 4?
Useful additions for Mi Band

Unlock and call reminder features are only for Xiaomi phones, is that right?
And how about whole wristband, does it work work on "normal" Android phone? My common sense telling me that it should - there is no restriction, it is just a bluetooth transmission. But maybe I'm wrong?

This looks brilliant. I was actually researching BLE technology and considering making something like this to unlock my phone. Seems I don't have to, at least if Xiaomi makes it support other devices.

I think it should work on other Android phones, but it couldn't, Even the older Xiaomi phone's like Mi 2S is not compatible.
Xiaomi is too "closed" now. Xiaomi will lose many potential customers if they keep doing that.

Yeah...I hope the next generation (Mi Band 2?) can support more devices.

Xiaomi is following Sammy's footstep, trying to get new customers by releasing phone specific gadgets. The only difference with Gear - that one got rooted, but with something as simple as smartband - most likely it will be locked to their phone. The same as they announced before about release of MI pressy-clones. Also, you have to realize that $13 is heavily subsidized price, they are giving it away at the cost or maybe below the cost, just so they can get new MI customers. Similar to what Amazon does with their tablets (hoping to get more Amazon shopping customers) or Google did with Nexus 7 (trying to jump start Android tablet business to take away share from iOS).

I heard a rumor that the cost of Mi Band is only CN¥ 49 (about $8.5)

i think in europe it will cost triple

where have people pre-ordered this from?

It starting to show up on websites that sell xiaomi and even aliexpress (although the price is higher than announced, but still a good deal considering).
Im just wondering, this does work with other android phones or just with xiaomi? Anyone knows yet? Its still new, so there probably isn't much info on that yet

HTCMania discussed in that it can be used with any Android, a user has been tested with a Nexus5 ... I have installed the apk without problems, but this in Chino, hopefully soon be translated into Spanish or English.
They have the apk file, but being new I can not put link.

Good to know!
We will probably start seeing more development on these as they start to get to more people.
But the function that it was to unlock/remove pin or pattern when you grab the phone/close to the hand with the bracelet probably won't work, right? Unless someone comes out with an android mod that will allow that.
Still, as a fitness tracker you can't beat the price

When in stock?

Hi!
This is the official link of the MiBand app -> http://m.app.mi.com/#page=detail&id=68548
And here is the apk modified by myself, I only changed a word so now the app will show you in english (if not, it will show in chinese by default). There are only a few sentences in english but Im going to try to translate more.

I ordered 2 of them. i seriously hope someone will make an android version of the app
Is it possible tho ? I can't read the content of htcmania but apparently peeps talk about it.
Still got time to figure it out !

Does the Moto 360 Gen 2 have a speaker?

I've read a few articles on the internet saying it does, but can't seem to locate them now. However GSM Arena has it listed with a loudspeaker:
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_360_46mm_(2nd_gen)-7683.php
And also apparently the Zenwatch 2:
http://9to5google.com/2015/10/13/speaker-support-android-wear-zenwatch/

Is that claim right? 1st AW watch with speaker?
If the Moto 360(15), Zenwatch 2 and Urban 2 have speakers, did the HW hit the market first?

But they didn't mention anything about 1st Huawei watch will get speaker ability/software updates during presentation. I afraid that is not for 1st model.

My worry exactly.
Although if the hardware is the same then I expect we can flash it manually.

Although Huawei did say:
The Huawei Watch is first and foremost a watch, with the added benefit of many smart features and functions. One of the keystones of watches is longevity. We designed the Huawei Watch with this in mind. This forward looking design and component selection is just one of the many ways that the Huawei Watch is timelessly designed and smart within.

I dont believe the Moto 360 2 has a speaker. My research only showed the Hauwei and ZenWatch2 having them.
Thr Hauwei was out before the ZW2, I believe. The LG Urbane2 has a speaker but was pulled from the shelves and unavailable to buy. Those lucky few have been enjoying the calling features.

Its for our model. Do some homework. People are already getting Test builds of the new update that enables the speaker.
We have a speaker. The AW update enables that. Dont worry.
I specifically purchased the Hauwei Watch for this specific feature. I came from a LG G Watch and refused to upgrade until one came with calling speaker support.

I also purchased mine for this specific reason I mean for speaker support. It will be arrive in the end of the week. I had moto 360 (1st generation)for a month and was unhappy with that due to its performance. I hope Huawei enable the speaker soon.

HUAWEI Watch and Asus Zenwatch 2 are the only Android Wear watches with a speaker. Motorola dropped the ball hard and so did Fossil with their Q Founder. As new as the Fossil is I can not believe they didn't put a speaker in it.
I know for a fact the Fossil doesn't too. I took mine apart quick before I returned it to get the HW.

Sadly yes, but Samsung has had speaker and calling support for over a year. I was blown away when I found out that Android Wear did not have such features.
Oh well... Here's to hoping!

oh, i am so sorry to hear that, it is said it will not need to invite in some stores. you can inquire others.

Right now i have read the news about Oneplus 3 possible specs from the Oneplus fans. According to the meeting with Oneplus fans in India, Pete Lau expressed that they will let the fans say what’s the ideal hardware it will be about Oneplus 3.
During the talk Pete offered the phone with either RAM 4GB and 128GB rom or 6GB RAM, 64GB rom,
Possible OP3 specifications;
Full HD AMOLED screen
Thinner phone size
HDMI connectivity
128 GB internal memory
A 16-megapixel camera
24-hour battery life on full charge
Curved screen like in Samsung Galaxy S6
Stereo speakers in front
Near field communication (NFC)
It’s said Oneplus 3 will be released in July. I hope most of specs are right, especially ROM 128GB. So what do you think of these specs? Will it come with these kind of specs?

they will be happy their fans?
i don't know... i think the specs will be change

seen the same specs appear here:
Mod Edit by @Darth : Selling site link removed. Spam not welcome here thanks! Last chance member.
so i guess it will probably be the final specs. sounds very good. hope the pricing will be low

The invitation system is past.

After some test OnePlus 3 is a big surprise. Finally a high-end phone with a snapdragon and 6GB of RAM. No worries screen calibration.
Some site speaks yellow problem, but its failure would be a qualibrage. I greatly recommend this smartphone
A camera very powerful, despite the limited functionality available currently.
The fingerprint sensor is very responsive compared to competitor phone.

I've had word from oneplus that you need to have the dash charge charger for that feature to work, but they never said whether you need the dash charge cable or not (is it just a standard type-c cable?)
Anyone got any info yet?

HTC 10 compatible VR Headset...

Had a play with a Samsung Gear VR recently and it was fun with definite potential for the casual user so I was looking to see if something similar (and similarly priced!) might be in the pipeline and compatible with our HTC 10 handsets... (ignoring the Vive of course as that is in a different league!)
Research reveals Google are hopefully working on something for universal android handset use http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-headset-that-isn-t-made-of-cardboard-1314517 so thought I'd start this thread to discuss people's views on the HTC 10 + VR headset possibilities... [emoji41]
Sent from my HTC One using XDA-Developers mobile app

If you want any real VR usage get a Gear VR + Samsung phone. As of right now the only stuff that works with the HTC 10 would be Google Cardboard, which isn't particularly impressive in the same way the dedicated headsets and Gear VR are.

sure you're right. but my point was that it looks like Google will be releasing something similar this year to the Gear which will most likely work with the HTC...
So, as and when we hear more we can update the thread.
Id also be interested once people get their phones to see which google cardboard kits and apps work best...

I am getting the Fiit VR 2N, it will use Cardboard app but the FOV is better, some says it's even better than GearVR
The BoboVR Z4 is the top notch in the budget VR,slightly better than Fiit VR with a FOV of 110 instead of 102 but it's the double in price

Most apps and games don't need a button, you can choose with your head, though you can buy a BT controller for VR for less than 10$ for games that need it, or your xbox360, PS3/4 gamepad
Edit: Just tried my Microsoft wireless mouse on the A9 using OTG and it's working even better than a gamepad, no need for special app or driver it's automatically detected by the phone, BTW you can control all the phone's UI with it

Ordered a Fiit VR 2N today from aliexpress, I should have it between 4 to 6 weeks, I will post my impressions coming from the Cardboard 2.0

I got a VR headset for my S5, it's pretty cool to begin with but I don't think any of the apps currently available are all that. There are certain types of video you can watch on it that are much better than watching on a TV but I don't want to mention it on a family forum.

This thing makes a pretty nice Cardboard phone. The pixel density on this is insanely high and isn't pentile. The pixel response rate is a little low so I wouldn't expect gaming, but video is pretty solid.

I am really interested in the HTC 10. Currently trying out the S7 edge and I must say I love the VR GEAR for watching movies. I don't really care about playing games. On the S7, there is this cool Oculus video app that allows you to watch movies in different settings, e.g theater, home theater, moon, etc. Netflix has a nice app as well for the Gear VR. Is something similar available for google cardboard?

How is below? anyone has used?

Yes, Google is actually building its own Daydream virtual reality headset

BUT... not sure if it will work with HTC 10 though... even with Android N update...

Update 3:56pm ET:*A previous version of this article stated that Daydream will work on current-gen phones. That was inaccurate. The platform will only run on next-gen compatible phones.

What's "next-gen" though?
The SD820 is pretty new, and true "next gen" (10nm) Android SOCs are coming anytime soon, I don't think.

I guess HTC might know, but Google is probably the one you should ask since its their standard.
Also, there's this little blurb about the HTC 10 "supporting" the Vive:
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20160311PD205.html
Given the ambiguity and lack of a link, the real meaning was probably lost in translation. We'll see, I suppose.

Considering that HTC Vive is going head to head with Oculus and Samsung in the VR market, I am surprise they dont have a goggle for their phone device.

Anyone tried BoboVR z4 with the 10?
Fiit VR 2N is pretty good with the 10, surely better than stock Cardboard 2.0, though with the given filter the view is too narrow and without it you have some empty space for FOV, but all and all it's still very enjoyable.
I recommend to add some foam or rubber tape on the sides so the screen won't touch the (hard) plastic before any use unless you have a thick case that is protruding above the screen, nobody knows if it can scratch the screen without them

So... How was it?

Daydream won't be on the HTC 10. The device has to have an AMOLED screen in order to be qualified. So the best you're going to get is the Bobo Z4 or something else.
