And the new features like drawing on your photos and the whisper shout seems pretty dumb. From the demo though im not very optimistic. I thought Hangouts was gonna be Googles answer to iMessage but its a sad mess. I REALLY REALLY hope "Allo" is Googles answer to iMessage in that i can send files (of any kind), high res photos, GIFs, typing notifications, and read conformations. Im pretty excited for the 2 new messing apps.

But I am pretty excited for the new notification system and the split screen and picture in picture. I havent tried any of the preview versions. Google IO What are you excited for? Obviously im excited for Android N. and what about cardio and steps counter? Can you use them with S-health in your phone even with Android installed ? I'll finish this article up in a bit alright about 10 more reason why I prefer it, I'm just riding my bike right now and using Google Voice on my gear s to type this It's not an app but it's my favorite and the fact that I can use it on such a small display is very convenient.

Google has a few really nice apps that are basically made to run on anything my tracks for instance it's one of the best app I've ever used for tracking my speed and distance as well as calories burned. Not only that if you use SwiftKey it's an amazing keyboard for such a small device Haven you at T maps to then changed where your fingers maybe a little bit bigger for some parts of the screen or too small. You think all the screen so small I'm not going to be able to type take it off your wrist use both hands it's not that big of a deal. I switched from the mobile operating system ties into Android because I personally have more functionality with Android, and not only does that beautiful display play flappy bird flawlessly, there's a lot of other random ass I can cram on to the tiny screen. I'm using it to replace my Omate Truesmart that I've been using as my standalone phone for the last 6 months.

I switched to have full android on the watch so I could use the Gear S as a daily driver. I am not a fan of actually using my watch as a real phone because of its battery capacity. sure there are a few apps out there that can do that (forward notifications) but mostly they suck.

when you install real android on it you lose this functionality.

Now we all know samsung had to do a lot to make this watch a companion with the phone so the software on it plus the gear manager on the phone give it the ability to be controlled properly. Just got my watch a few days ago and am curious to those who decided to switch out the rom to have full android on their watch. Why did you switch the watch to android instead of tizen? hello.
