₦airaland Forum

Prof Ali Mazrui was a legend!
May his soul rest in peace!
I remember watching is documentary, The Africans!
He was the one that called the Igbos the African Jews in one of the episodes on Nigeria!

OP
Modify the topic and put his name there,
The present heading is too vague!

More weapons ke?
If this is true, then the camerounians are an enemy, a boko haram sympathiser and a dangerous friend to have!

Lexusgs430:
I decided against the moto 360, too expensive. I rather settled for a cheaper Chinese model.It might not be has high tech as the Moto 360, but it does the basics !!!!
NB: All for $18.00

Does it push all your notifications to the watch?
I mean, is it loaded with android wear abi Chinese OS?

dekronik:
I understand. I'm tempted to repostt the pictures but I'm aware that Nairaland is a global brand so I wouldn't want people to have a negative attitude towards our country. I know some people who will delibrately refuse to condemn boko haram for using child soldiers, but will condemn C-JTF and Army when they see those pictures. People lyk Amnesty that will NEVER condemn BH slaughtering people like chickens, but will condemn our soldiers of killing BH child soldiers.
So my brother, I think its best that I removed the pictures. I'm not in anyway supporting or criticising Mr Aye Dee.

My response to the allegation against Amnesty International is this:

No one condemns a madman for behaving true to form but when those who are supposed to treat mad people start acting like mad men, then there should be concerns!
So don't blame AI for calling your security outfits to order!

MizMyColi:

Abeg,

She should change that DOA acronym.


Sounds more like Dead or Alive

More like;

Dead On Arrival!
Lol

Hello Mr Baden!
How much is $15000 when you are talking about national security?
But I know you guys would rather line your pockets with such amount for beer and pepper soup and you wonder why the whole war is going to the dogs!

You can drop a million dollar bomb on a threat and save yourselves countless lives in the future.

American Tomahawk and hellfire missiles cost about $1000000 (one million) and they readily use it on a single credible threat, go and ask Anwar Awlaki?

This are the words of Obama after roasting Awlaki:

"The death of Awlaki is a major blow to Al-Qaeda's most active operational affiliate. He took the lead in planning and directing efforts to murder innocent Americans … and he repeatedly called on individuals in the United States and around the globe to kill innocent men, women and children to advance a murderous agenda. [The strike] is further proof that Al-Qaeda and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world"
OBAMA

With our own sets of people in command I'm afraid the war will still take many years !

Such a stone age thought in the midst of modern warfare

Zammydagreat:
Ahhh envy you, hoping to get mine soon

Please, join me, abeg!
I'm getting lonely here on this thread!


Another watch face ,

Rolex Watch face:

Lexusgs430:
That flat tyre look, slightly deflates the beauty !!!

I can assure you, it's a wonder even with that deflated tyre look!

Omo, see how people dey look my hands today as if I dey do witchcraft, especially when messages and calls come in.

Slowpois0n:
good gadget you have got. how much did you spend on buying and shipping down to Nigeria?

Na 249$ at bestbuy, Atlanta , wife brought it back from her holiday!

Opeyemi5:

[size=13pt]A few setup tips for people getting their watches[/size]

I've seen a bunch of questions regarding setup, updates, battery life. I've gathered my thoughts / findings below:

Setup

Turn it on, go through the initial setup if you have enough battery, otherwise charge it up to ~30% and try again.
You might get a spinning "Just a minute" screen, which indicates an update is required. You need atleast 80% battery for this, or it will stay stuck there.
Once you have finished the setup above, long press the side button (shortcut to get to settings menu). Scroll down to About, and tap it to view the version info.
Your software version (Android Wear version) will likely be 4.4W. The latest version is 4.4W1 build KGW42R, and fixes some bluetooth connectivity that SIGNIFICANTLY improves battery life.
This update doesn't seem to start automatically. All the way at the bottom of the About menu you will see "System Updates", tap that, if it tells you that its already up to date, back out and try again, took me a couple of tries before it found and downloaded the 4.4W1 update (may be a network related thing, so make sure your phone has a network connection). Again make sure you are at 80%+ battery when you try this.
You may have to go back into About > System Updates to install the update. Some people had a permanent notification asking them to do so as well.

Battery Calibration: This is probably the first thing most people are going to want to do considering all the battery concerns we've heard. I recommend you finish going up to 4.4W1 before trying any method of calibration. Note that there are no official 'guidelines' regarding this, I am recommending based on my knowledge of Li batteries + past experience with phones, and reading other's experiences with the watch:

Charge the watch up to 100%. Long press the button > About > Reset (make sure your data is saved as this will erase everything on the watch!).
Charge it all the way up again after the setup process, and then do a full discharge. To speed this up you can leave it on always on + full brightness (see how in the battery savings info below).
Don't try to discharge it too fast by overloading the watch, this can generate a lot of heat, which is bad for the battery's longevity.
Make sure its completely discharged, won't turn on at all, and then charge it back up to full. It may stay on at 1% left for a good hour or so!
I would recommend following this up with a full day of only light - moderate usage, with only stock apps, to make sure the calibration worked. Would appreciate if you post your results here to help us better understand the battery issues.

Battery Savings

Long press the button, the Settings menu lets you adjust some power saving options. You probably want to have Always On disabled, although I am hearing that after 4.4W1 its not making that big a differenceneeds testing. Auto brightness has been fine in my experience too, but even level 1 is kinda visible outdoors, so you can try that for super conservative mode. Your screen will still dim / sleep with the manual brightness!
Avoid custom faces initially, atleast while you test your baseline battery life as mentioned above. Without the custom face API coming later this year with AW2.0, custom faces are just not going to be as efficient as stock.
You can still customize the Motorola faces, grab the Motorola Connect app (the Android Wear app will prompt you). This will let you customize the background and accent colors.
Mute / disable notifications that are too aggressive. Go to the android wear app to mute app notifications that are too frequent, or just configure them appropriately in the notifying applications.

Hope this stuff helps people just getting started, let me know if you guys have any thoughts / suggestions to add.

Edit #1: I'll add things I've forgotten / been suggested below.


Edit #2:

Regarding what burns the most battery. From my experience so far its:
any interaction while screen is on, especially if involving animations. Custom animated watch faces, and Google now searches are big ones.
screen wakeup from notifications / unintentional wrist 'wakeup
ambient screen on. For me Motorola faces with ambient on do not add significant drain, but the custom faces are much worse.

Random note, uninstalling the Moto Connect app does not undo your customizations for the stock watch faces.

Edit #3:

Fitness Notifications By default you will get notifications about steps and heartrate, which area monitored in the background. I don't monitoring these drains the battery much (heartrate is only monitored infrequently, and the accelerometer is always on to monitor your wrist movement anyway). However, all notifications are significant battery drain as your display will turn on when you receive them. Heres how you configure these apps:

Go to the Android Wear app, click "Show me my heartrate", and choose the "Fit" app (if not already so). This should disable heartrate activity monitoring, which I believe is a Motorola fitness app feature, not Andorid Fit (looks like there is no way to disable monitoring, but disabling motorola's heartrate app disables the notifications / wakeups). I have noticed Motorola's fitness app is more active (heh), and tends to drain more battery.
You can do the above for the "Count Steps" as well.
To disable the step notification cards tap on your watch face, scroll down to show steps, swipe left till you hit the settings, set show step card to off. Unless you disable history your steps will still be recorded, which like I said shouldnt hurt the battery life at all.

Edit #4: Bluetooth interference Bluetooth interference is the biggest battery drain I have come across so far. Did a simple test with my bluetooth speakers. While connected and playing music on the speakers, over an hour the watch drained 12%. With the bluetooth speakers turned off, it drained only 3% over the next hour (note I charged it up to full before the second test). The watch was on my desk the entire time, and the same amount (~5) of notifications received. The only option here unfortunately, is to turn on airplane mode on the watch if you need to connect other bluetooth devices to your watch.

Edit #5: BT interference is no longer an issue for me after the latest update (ver KGW42R)

Screen Persistence: There have been reports of minor to severe screen burn in caused by the screen remaining on while charging. I had a faint but noticeable burn in myself, but it went away completely within a day after I followed this tutorial for disabling screen while charging

I hereby use this medium to inform all the tech lovers on this forum, that my Moto 360 smartwatch, came from the united states this week,
Here,I am trying to set it up and put it through its paces

Below, I have some pictures as proof

Opeyemi5: 7k

Thanks very much,
Do you have the address or phone number or something,
I'm very worried!
In fact I'm very angry with Samsung and after this, I will never buy Samsung again!

Opeyemi5: bro.my advice is u go to ikeja.dats were I did mine.

How much did it cost?

I need an unlock code for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is region locked, asap!

Wasted generation, incapable of critical and strategic thinking!

What if Ebola is gone from Nigeria?
What happens if it comes back tomorrow?
You will start running from pillar to post again, drinking salt water, nano silver pesticide or begging America for Zapp?

Here is someone preparing for the future and you lot comes online to expose your ignorance?
Is it by force to post, if your cranium is empty?

Anyways, thanks to Fashola for the offer, I hereby challenge all our research virologists to take advantage of this offer and write their names on the marble of time and may I warn all the charlatans and the dubious practioners to steer clear!

Here was a man that lived the maxim fully "Never take life too seriously, you will never get out alive"

Salute to the brave warrior !
A man that still put the children of his enemies into terror, right from the grave!

They don't make heroes like these again !
Tuale sir!

Orunto: Chekwas Okorie is evil, a common witch and one of the remaining bokoharam is the South wherever. Igbos should ignore his ranting to be relevant. His ancestors incited satan against Jesus.

oduastates: Error.
Fashola not Nigeria ,was able to fight ebola because Fashola assembled a competent team of aides ,with the assistance of the international community.

Where was he when
1 Fashola was reordering the state's budget to fight ebola

2 Fashola was leading from the front lines

3 Fashola was designating quarantine centres
And sensitising the public

This man thinks we are stupid ,when LAGOS state was offering doctors between $250 - $500 per day to volunteer for ebola duty ,the FG was AWOL with the camera hugging health minister who was giving out useless updates ,was busy claiming Ebola funds were for cars.

I know where he was,
He was hiding in Aso Rock sponsoring some touts under the transmorphication embarassidiots of Nigeria


He should tell us the hospital he built to fight ebola.maybe he thinks that those China made thermometer at the airports is the same as effective control of ebola.
This is leadership.Fashola doing the job of an absentee president.

Bros, my kudos to you sir for a straight reply to a nonsensical statement!
I've said it, times without number that our dear president has put Nigeria on auto pilot, thanks for the few brainiacs who are still working diligently while our Aso rock villian will never fail to take credit for others, sweat and Labour!

Pray

Jakpon: .... For Boko Haram to launch a frontal assault from Konduga clearly indicates that they are still in control of Bama

But the NA says they have taken it from Boko Haram naa?

If the above is true,
I'm afraid, Nigeria is in a hurt locker!
See analysis!
Chai!
No wonder the Army's purported advance in reality is a retreat!
Abeg!
Help me ask Olukolade who is controlling Bama?

Let no one deceive you, this is war o!

I dey see some Nairalanders on that list!
Naa wa o!

On a serious note,
The nigerian military is like a secret cult!
You can't protest against your commanding officer even if he decides to kill you.

The worst of it all is that, the higher authority will still protect the officer, even if he is wrong!

What a wicked organisation!

I still remember the story of the ECOMOG soldiers that protested against the embezzling of their allowance by their commander!
How they were dealt with by a kangaroo court martial and even a lady among them was lumped together with the males in thesame cell.
We don't even know what happened to them again!

There is no justice in this country, that's all I will say now!

Check the ethnicity of most of the purported attackers and your eyes will open!

Igbos always on the wrong side of history since 1960!

Una believe this one abi?
Enemies of Saharareporters?

What you refuse to accept is SR report the truth!

I will rather believe the report of SR whether palatable or not rather than the words of all the Nigerian tabloid, masquerading as newspapers!

Kudos to the NA, they now need to be on the offensive and push them out of Bama!

bonechamberlain: how come he was shot in the leg, who is sure its not a ploy to pull him out of the Battle field... I don't know when b.h started shooting in the leg

Most Foolish post of the year!

This is beyond ridiculous!
While 24 of his men lay dead on the ground, withh others wounded, he now turned the Gun on his own leg to cripple himself?
Boko haram don't shoot leg?
How daft can a comment be?
In the heat of battle, do you always have your way?

Col. Obasanjo, I wish you quick recovery and a more successful career in the Army!
Its men like you that I will rather stand behind. People who are ready to sacrifice for their fatherland!
Where are the sons of other leaders, have they bought their own NA forms?

I love your father's kind of training,
Let the children cut their own teeth!
The one that Iyabo was whining about in her letter.

Hehe hehe

PDP wan reply through their militant arm - Boko Haram
Using their media arm - Vanguard newspaper!

seankafor: kill every human being that is not a soldier in bama..massacre evry living thing u come acrross...destroy every building with air raids.(no exception) take no captives..raiz the bama town.let the streets fill to the bream with body of dead insurgents and their blood..infact if they can use nuclear weapon they should use it in those captured villages..let them use bio weapons like gas carnisters..if they font hav let the borrow..those villages over their should be cleansed and they should start afresh cos those are casualties of war..
lastly...........kill and destroy every living soul, animal,houses, take no captives..
God bless nigerian army

As you have written, so shall it be done to your village when NA takes it back from boko haram!

Sometime I wonder at the sanity of some posters?
Are they normal at all?

Corruption is not the problem of Nigeria!
