Apple Watch Series 7 CELLULAR
THE EXTRA POSSIBILITY OF THIS WATCH VERSUS A NORMAL APPLE 7 IS THAT THE CELLULAR VERSION HAS AN eSIM 4G WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO LEAVE YOUR iPHONE AT HOME AND STILL BE ONLINE. YOU CAN RECEIVE CALLS AND ANSWER THEM WHILE YOUR PHONE IS ON YOUR DESK. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NORMAL 7 AND A CELLULAR ONE IS INDICATED ON THE GOLDEN CROWN. THE 4G VERSION HAS A READ CIRCLE IN THE CROWN (see image).

The only drawback of this type of watch is that 1. you need a provider that supports this watch and 2. it costs extra money on a monthly basis cause it uses of course data.

Not necessarily. I’ve had an Apple Watch since 2016 and only last year decided to get a data plan for it. It costs me $5 a month for the plan and I see the value in having it. Otherwise, it would just use data on my phone’s plan. The advantage of the Watch having its own data plan is that it can operate autonomously and I don’t always have to have my phone with me. Great for running, quick trips to the store or drop in visits around the neighborhood. I get your point though, it does seem like overkill.

That is funny, I just got off the phone with those clowns and no one knew what I was talking about. I pointed the service dude to the web and listened while he read it followed with a 'huh...not sure'.
I then did a search and came up with your thread (from today!!). Great minds I tell you, or are you just as bored at work as I am today
Either way, No love for ICS (phone variety) and no streaming like ios. Just another reason for me to hate TWC!!
Customer service has no clue...wish it was supported!!!
My girlfriend can run it on her (crappy) HTC Aria. Works well too.
I may have to try my old DInc (it is wifi only at this point) when I get home. I do hope they get the live TV watching working (like Direct TV has) shortly.
My girlfriend has an Ipad (I'm not an apple fan myself) and TWC has a NICE app people can watch tv on their Ipads with. Pretty impressive.
If they made something like that for Android it would be awesome!
The only catch is you have to be connected to your TWC road runner at home for it to work, so its kinda pointless really, unless you don't own a TV - in which case why pay for cable?
hey sorry every body i work for twc and they do not tell us anything about it i has a 5 min training while i was on a call with a customer about the app. also this was 1 day before release date. please just don't be mad at us on the phones.

NEVO smart notification watch and activity tracker

I usually write detailed reviews about products I have tested and verified, instead of those I read about or seen in crowdfunding campaigns. As a matter of fact, I'm very skeptical about such campaigns because 2014 has been a big disappointment with a number of projects I have been looking forward to (some with smart devices promised back in 2013). It's a first time I'm bring something like this up, and in no way am I associated or involved with this particular project. Just after reading all the discussions on XDA about MI fitness tracker and some other basic bracelet type fitness trackers, when I saw this particular watch - I was so impressed that I wanted to share with you about it.

The project is NEVO watch with a smart functionality and activity tracker: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nevo-the-first-minimalist-connected-watch
What's really cool about it - it looks like a regular high quality fashion watch with a minimalistic approach of a led dial which tracks your progress toward the daily goal set within an app. It also provides notifications in a form of a vibration whenever you get a call or email/txt, etc. But the coolest part, the watch mechanism runs off a regular battery which should last at least 5 years, while smart functionality of the watch is powered off another battery which should last you at least 6 months. Both batteries are common type and easy to replace.
I see so many people with these ugly plastic wrist bands that have only one functionality of an activity tracker. Now, you can have a classy looking watch with activity tracker already built in. And from what I understand, this is not a vaporware but a product which has been already designed and tested, at least prototype of it, including software as well. Either way, I'm not preaching or saying it's a must have product, but rather would like to share with you about it since I personally find it to be fascinating!

We Tested Google Stadia in India - Our Experience.

Hey Guys, Today here we will be sharing our experience with Google Stadia. Specifically how it works in India or in any country where it has not been launched yet.
As you all know, With Google Stadia you can play high-end titles on your TV, Laptop, or even on your Android Phone. That's exciting.
We will tell you how we tried Google Stadia being in India where it currently isn't launched. And how can you try it in any country where Stadia isn't launched yet. Also, share our experience.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Q. How can we use stadia where it isn't launched yet?
A:- The idea is simple & basic. All you need to do is to Use a VPN (Free or Paid doesn't really matter as long as you're getting the minimum Speeds i.e 10Mbps as per Google claims. And then you can simply go to the stadia site & sign up normally as you do for any service.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our Experience With Stadia, Using in India:-
** We were still getting around 40Mbps of speed even after we were connected to VPN. So speeds should not be an issue here for us.
To be very honest the experience was quite not great. The Stadia page loads fast, The games do load fast but the problem was inside the games, there was lag & latency. And it wasn't playable, to be honest.
Maybe it's because the Data Centers being too far from the location hence resulting in High Latency & lag.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you want to understand this better, We have made a full detailed video about this. You can check it out here:-

Which cheap tablet (with micro-sd) works with LineageOS?

I'm looking for a tablet with LOS suppport, but the official builds are for brand tablets that are either very expensive or very old (and still expensive, even if I buy a used one with worn-out batteray).
It's purely for website browsing, ebooks and an occasional movie - it doesn't even need cell support, Wifi-only is sufficient. It should have expandable storage with micro-sd though.
Could anyone give me a hint which current cheaper tablets have a LOS 19/18.1 build, or in case these aren't available even older LOS (an inofficial build is just fine)?
I'm asking because there's no 'tablet' list for LOS, neither official nor inofficial, and I'm completely confused by the flood of smartphone builds...
Thanks!
Asus Nexus 7 (2013)
Or check here:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
And search (CTRL+F) for tab or pad, that'll show you 6 as of now. Unfortunately, some devices like the previously mentioned Nexus 7 won't show up (edit: by that search for tab)...
You can also try the same by using the switch "Show discontinued devices" on top, then there will be 39x tab and 6x pad.

It does show up at the google section:
Oh. Yes, yes, it's there, of course. Just one wouldnt find it with looking for tab/pad.
Sorry for such halfbaked precision

A Microsoft/Nokia Feature phone (Windows 10 Mobile) inspiration, may be something to look at?

Ok before you laugh, have a look about the internet, I was frankly stunned by this old news, as I would have gone all in on a Microsoft/Nokia Feature Phone. I would still drop my Android in a heart beat to have this. As for years I ran an Old Audiovox SMT 5600 WinMo 5 candy bar phone, even with the T9 text it did all I ever wanted phone calls, texts, and music in my pocket. None of the fancy streaming or data collection crap with facebook and it's evil partners
Any way I stray away from the Topic.... Sources for the Microsoft RM-1181/82/83
Windows Central Zac Bowden did a write up of a hands on.....
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-feature-phone-rm-1182-windows
Nokia Power User also had pics and a write up
RM-1182 was a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
RM-1182 seems to be a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
nokiapoweruser.com
A YouTube video of it's startup, prototype password stuff
Then to my surprise a few are in the wild and for sale.....
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295117884704
I would buy one, but I have no idea how much is working, what of the phone works, or how to even start to poke about and look to rip out a rom to see if other newer Hardware in the HMD/Nokia line could be made to run what ever this runs. It comes from China, so I am guessing it will take forever to get one with the world in the state it's in.
In any case just putting it out to see if anyone gets sparked with an itch. I know my itch is sparked and I have no idea how long I can hold off trying to grab one. As I have been thinking of going back to a feature phone for some time as I have no need for all the crap a Smart Phone does, but I am older and not driven by a need for social media junk.
