this episode of android authorities brought to you by netflix head to netflix.com / android to get a free 30-day trial hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and welcome back to android authority QA where you ask and we answer we have a lot of great questions this week about SmartWatch selection SD card problems and a lot more so let's get started Troy asks just read an article by Brad board about accessories for the galaxy s4 sandisk class 10 memory card is recommended I have a lexar class 10 32 gig in my galaxy s4 after about 120 pics my gallery looks fine but when I select each pic and bring them up to full screen about every third pic has a large grey stripe through it that takes up about a third of the pic i called lexar they said the galaxy s4 needs a class 6 or lower I was not able to recover my pics that have the gray stripe they offered to switch out my class 10 for the class 6 card I'm sorry to say but I think lexar is feeding you a line of nonsense class 10 SD cards have been perfectly safe to use and Android smartphones as early as the galaxy s2 so that's obviously not the problem what i would do is take your SD card out and snap a few photos to get saved to your internal storage if the grey stripe is still there then it's a problem with your software or with your camera if the grey stripe is not there then it's your SD card probably going bad and I would have it replaced britvic asks hey android authority i was thinking about buying a SmartWatch and there are a couple of choices to pick from I was waiting for the Samsung Galaxy gear but i am not very happy with how that turned out should i wait for the iWatch what do you recommend personally i wouldn't buy a SmartWatch until 2015 because that's about when smartwatches will become genuinely useful if you must have a SmartWatch right now I would recommend the pebble because the pebble is cheaper than the competition while still getting that companion device feeling you can wait for the iWatch but I don't foresee them adding anything the current SmartWatch options don't have a sill asks is it still worth it to buy the HTC One absolutely even though there are devices coming out with the Snapdragon 800 devices with the Snapdragon 600 are still considered perfectly good top to your options so if you want to get yourself an HTC One get yourself an HTC One it's still a top-of-the-line device Anthony asks hey android authority i'm getting the galaxy note 3 next week but i'm thinking about if i should get the note 3 right now or wait for the nexus 5 or the next one you really can't go wrong with any of these devices the samsung galaxy note 3 will have the bigger screen and the bigger battery along with an SD card slot the HTC One will have superior build quality and boom sound and the Nexus 5 will have the latest version of Android so what you need to ask yourself is which feature do you want the most if you want to be on the bleeding edge of Android get a nexus 5 if you want superior build quality and superior sound to get the HTC One and if you need a bigger battery and SD card slot or a bigger screen and go with the note 3 Ollie braider asks do you know when Android 4.3 will come to the Sony Xperia Z unfortunately there are no rumblings going on right now about when the Xperia Z will get Android 4.3 fortunately Sony is much better than other OEMs at updating their android phones so we know it'll happen eventually we can't tell you when because we don't know but it would be a serious surprised to see Sony not update this device once again I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and this was android authority Q&A where you ask in we answer if you have a question for us follow the link in the video description where you can ask us anything if you like this video please subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out some of our other videos our social media links and the written companion are in the video description thank you for watching and have a wonderful day
