...but I'm just now noticing that I didn't get the Google Messenger app and nothing on my watch seems to have audio support besides Play Music. Shouldn't I be able to get notification tones from the calendar? I've got a notification volume option in settings but no option to change the...

Found it. I had to install SuperSu to keep that from happening. TWRP didn't even try to patch it like their website said it should.

I'm using Odin to install TWRP to my unrooted T-Mobile S5. It installs successfully and I can boot into TWRP. I even did a successful backup of the stock ROM, but as soon as I boot into the system it restores the original recovery and TWRP is gone. I thought booting into TWRP before booting...

What happened to the older Carbon Rom downloads? All they have are nightly 5.1.1 builds on their download page now. I wanted to reflash my S3 with another 4.4.4 Carbon Rom build to troubleshoot something and I can't find any downloads at all for d2lte, even.

I thought so, too, until I remembered I've had this ROM installed since 2014 and it was working fine for at least a few months. I was hoping someone knew of an obscure settings file that defined which hardware was used.

Well it should use the bottom one, because that's the one near your mouth. That's the one my S5 uses. I haven't tried flashing a new ROM because I want that to be a last resort.

So this is an odd one, I think. Voice recorder apps all use the bottom mic and not the top one, but the phone app uses the top mic and not the bottom one. If I hold the phone like normal nobody can hear me. I have to use speakerphone and talk at the top of the phone. I'm running an old Carbon...

I've got mine paired to an S5 also, with a couple disconnects every day or two. I just did a factory reset on the watch (literally just now, it's still syncing the apps as I'm typing this) and told my phone to completely forget it so I guess I'll see in a few days if that fixed it.

You didn't mention how you turned wifi off. Every time I go to turn it on it seems as if it's been off, and I've never gotten a notification that it's turning it off automatically. I can already get a very long day of constantly playing with it in on one charge, but if I can forget to charge it...

I'd try uninstalling the zenwatch manager for a day and see if that helps. That upped my battery life from about 13 hours to 19-20. I also have everything else that drains a watch's battery turned on.

Any standard 22mm watch band will work. Just be wary if you have a large wrist, because cheap watchbands like that are often a little smaller than the band that comes with the watch. Also, they may not come with the 22mm pins and the pins on the stock wristband (at least the rubber one) are not...

My watch has been on for 10 hours now and has 45% battery left. Max brightness, always-on screen, receiving all notifications, and I was playing with new watch faces all day. The problem was definitely having the zenwatch manager app installed on my phone.

Uninstalled zenwatch manager and after a few hours of use I'm on track to get 20-21 hours so far. A little over two hours of use and only 9% battery drain. I'll try to use it a lot today to see if this holds up. The watch face I liked was from the zenwatch manager, too...

I know I wasn't connected to wifi all day, but I haven't seen an option to turn it on or off anywhere. Is there an option to specifically turn it off?

I spent a day with always-on turned off. That gave me a few extra hours but it still would have died completely if I had waited until I plugged my phone in at the end of the day (about 16 hours for me). I'm at 20% right now after 10 hours and 10 minutes of light use with the screen always on...
