lemme guess.. dev rom 4.4 right? i also face this and is apparently to all 4.4 based ROMs, maybe Sony didnt update the apps to be compatible
[Sony Smartwatch 2] aseeme555076:
For MIUI, try to do the following

1.Give all of SW2 app whole competence, including let it launch itself.

2.Move app to the system partition.

3.Flash Android primary system instead of MIUI.

Wish this can helps you :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bioan:
Thank you for your responses. I downgraded to 4.3 and did a backup to the watch apps. This way it worked.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dj_denims:
Hello everyone

i have found a way to get my sony sw2 and its extensions working in both miui v5 and v6 on my xiaomi mi3w and mi4

in fact it was very simple :)omia

the only issue is you need to get a paid app (well i have only tried on on this paid apps)

the first one is titanium backup:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro

and the other is

Root toolbox pro:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro

now you only need ONE of these programs

i have tested with both

first install

sony smart connect:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware

then the sony sw2 application

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2

and pair the phone and sw2 like normal :)

install any apps for the smart watch you want

then use either titanuim backp or root toolbox

and convert smart connect to a "system app"

and any smart extensions you want

there you go...simple :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Bart4Fun:
That would be excellent. Thanks for the tip.

However, how to make the system directory writeable? I have root access, but still /system cannot be written an I get a 'No space left on device' when using /system/app mover

I am using a weekly build from xiaomi.EU
[Sony Smartwatch 2] viking111:
Sorry, doesn't work for me...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JustPlayingHard:
Guys backup all sw2 app in the backup app. Works like a charm. No need for Titanium Backup
[Sony Smartwatch 2] viking111:
JustPlayingHard: Can you please explain more about this procedure? When I tried it a time ago, it didn't work too. Thanks!

Edit: Solved. Need to use another method, this doesn't work.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] geekarch:
Hi guys,

Im using MI3W with MIUI v5 global v23 (4.4 KitKat).

Using backup method is not working for me.

But changing the smartwatch2 related apps to System Apps works. Im using Link2sd because the free version can convert apps to system apps

Hope it helps
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Bart4Fun:
I have been playing around, and as suspected the app extensions are not started, therefore not integrated in the Smart Connect suite. Extensions that have a configuration screen outside Smart Connect, could be running, but ones that reside entirely within the suite did not. So you have to call these by hand.

Prerequisites:

Mi3 paired with your SmartWatch

Smart Connect + Smartwatch 2 installed

Work plan

Install Quick Shortcut Maker or QCustomShortcut or comparable. I will use the first

Install the desired Smart Extension

Open shortcut maker and look for the Extension in the list

Unfold the option list and select the Intent that is called yiberidada.dodo.whateveritiscalled.PreferenceActivity (See picture 1 )

Tap "Try" (picture 2), and you get into the Preference dialog of the extension.

You don't need to actually make the shortcut, so you can close the Shortcut maker app.

Now make a local backup of these two apps: Smart Connect and SmartWatch 2 (picture 3). Your watch will vibrate once after the backup is completed.

After completing the backup, you may want to delete the backup file because you don't need it.

Check out the app list in Smart Connect and see that the Smart Extension is visible in the installed applications list. Yiaajjj!! (Picture 4)

Info about my phone:

I hope this works for you ... :fingers-crossed: :laugh:

"Food Photo Diary" App is created for people who want to lose weight and control their diet, but always forget about it because of crazy pace of modern life. The app motivates a person (using reminders and notifications) to take pictures of food, measure weight and exercise; also the app keeps collected user data and provides analitics tools.

Google Play link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dtec.foodphotodiary2

How to interact with the app: (typical scenario)

> install the app on your device and launch it

> just after launch: specify the time when you want to have meals, measure weight and exercise, specify your current weight

> close the app and do your own business

> at the appropriate time the app will notify you of the need to measure your weight, have meal or exercise

> measure your weight and save your progress in the app; take picture of your meal; take picture place where you exercise; add additional text notices if necessary

> after some time the app will collect tons of data about changes of your weight and causes which led to it

> analyze collected data and adjust your diet plan (in app settings) if necessary

Please report bugs / feedbacks / suggestions. The app was just was launched and may be laggy.

Hi Guys,

Had my m5000 a while now, and just put my o2 pay and go card into it!! However when I put the phone into sound off mode, when my credit alert comes through I still get a beep.

Have tried turning everything off, is there a way to turn the credit updates off. It is annoying after I send a text I get a beep and a popup teeling me my balance.

Anyone know how to turn off the damn sound ??

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 3guk:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jalex9:
I spent quite some time trying to do this and I just now figured out a way...

I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.

Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted.

Hope that helps...

App is free, store link is here: EDIT: Removed because this thing looks like a scam and its description is a lie

I haven't been able to find a lot of info about how the app works (I'm talking about at a very technical level). My general advice regarding crypto code is to open it up for review, either publicly or by a professional security assessment firm (disclaimer: I work at one of those). If the code is already open for review somewhere, that would be awesome; if not, I recommend getting in touch with some external security experts (same disclaimer, but I can provide contact info if you want). The Internet is full of things that the developer claimed (and often even sincerely believed) were secure.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Aaaand just for fun, I decided to take a look at the app and see if there was anything obviously wrong. Let's start with the presence of no fewer than *three* advertisement networks, shall we? Begun Advertising is Russian and Google-owned, Google AdMob is self-explanatory, as is Microsoft Advertising Mobile. Your store description claims you

. Did you really think nobody would check this?

WTF are you trying to pull here?!? I can't think of any way to faster burn trust in a "secure" app than to make a claim that is trivially disprovable in a way that benefits nobody except you.

I'll come right out and say it: Sicher looks like a scam!
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Oh look, a Facebook library as well. Totally expected to see that, given that you

Oh, and before anybody asks about responsible disclosure, that's for when there's an unintentional bug in somebody's code. This just looks like pure exploitation of your users! (I say "looks like" because I haven't actually decompiled the code to see if those libraries are being used, but it's hard to imagine why you'd have them otherwise...). The only responsible way to disclose malware is to do it publicly, and this looks malicious.

EDIT: I'll give you 24 hours to give me a good argument why I shouldn't report my findings to the stores themselves.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Time's up. You actually got over 48 hours because I was busy yesterday. Hope not too many people got scammed and tracked by your "secure" and "private" app...

Hey [MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION], unfortunately I don't know where else to ask this, since you seem to be really interested (and skilled) in this topic, what messengers do you consider secure? WhatsApp is obvious, the only ones on Windows Phone I know of that come to my mind are Telegram and (soon) Threema.

What do you think about the two? I have basically no knowledge, but what seems odd to me about Threema is their faqs answer to "what about MITM?" they just say they use certs, hardcoded in the app. Aren't they with their servers in control then? How I understand this, the Threema servers could perfectly perform a MITM attack.

And Telegram has a completely confusing protocol.. So please share your thoughts! :)

My galaxy s2 barely survives a school day

How's everybody's battery life on the s2? Any way of improving it?

If it's really that bad and I can't improve it I'm really going to consider buying an external battery.

Anyway, how old is your battery? Do you have lots of apps installed? Age and plenty of apps caused a 20-30% drop on my old battery (2.5 years) so I went ahead and bought a new one.

For a 3 month old battery its not normal, unless you are having more than 4 hours screen on time.

btw, is it an original samsung battery?

you can try flashing different roms, kernels and modems and check your usage. Try BetteryBatteryStats to check if you are having some wakelocks. Greenify the apps which are hogging your resources.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Titus_Andronicus:
This may sound crazy, but check to insure that your battery is a real Samsung original battery. On the weekend I found a freind that had a cheep knockoff battery in her phone that she had purchased new from Best Buy. Her new phone had come new from the stor with a cheep knockoff battery.

My guess is a sales guy at the store did a swap because s/he wanted a new battery. This freind's phone has a cheep e-bay look-a-like. I only recognized it as a fake because I had bought some of the same brand off of ebay previously. The way to recognize this particular fake is that is sais Near Field Communication on it. A real Samsung battery will not say that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravisrs:
You're waking up your phone too often ?

53% of your schoolday battery goes for screen.

Try to:

- use auto-brightness

- set dim screen after 30 sec of inactivity

- check if your screen is not broken in any way (sometimes when it breaks it can short-circuit one back-led and that makes your screen consuming 5x times more juice)

- avoid looking every 5 minutes at your phone clock :) it really won't make you schoolday any shorter ;)

Btw, my battery lasts 3-7 days, one year old. Average power consumed for screen is 25-30% in my case.

So if it drains battery while you locked it, a wakelock can be the thing that's causing this...

Battery on a aosp rom is nowhere near the one of stock samsung, so i use chameleon rom which is a sammy based rom with aosp apps and aokp rom control and to get the features on newer 4.4+ roms i use Xposed+Gravitybox

The battery drop is well known by me, and it is driving me insane!!!! The cause of this is that the Fuel Gauge chip is displaying the wrong voltages what leads to wrong numbers and to our eyes a battery drop, there is no permanent fix for this and i'm expiencing it also and soon i will swith to another phone cause i cant rely on my phone anymore...

Hey,

I forgot to say something I experience while using this rom for a while, I'm not a big fan of google's social stuff like hangouts so i delete them of my system which leaves a bad wakelock called "gtalk_async_conn com .google.android.gsf.gtalkservice. android endpoint" to fix it if it happens to you

-Open a root filemanager

-load system as RW

-Go to system/etc

There is a file called hosts

-Open it with a code editor ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.henrythompson.quoda )

- Add a line called 0.0.0.0 mtalk.google.com

- reboot

To customize this rom you can install xposed framework and install modules like GravityBox(jb), xblast etc. To get rom features like the 4.4+ custom roms (more here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules)

Ok, not everything is good. When i launched GTA SA, the camera was spinning. This is a well known but still not fixed bug... No idea why. I mean all you need to do is just copy and paste a few files. Why android devs don't fix this?

Anyway... On my s5 only Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl file existed in "/system/usr/keylayout/". All i did was just copied and pasted this file couple of times and then renamed them to "Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl" and "Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl". Then just rebooted the device and the controller worked as expected.

P.S You need root for this. You can root your S5 with Towelroot. Just google it.

P.P.S I used "Root Browser" to browse, copy and rename system files.

P.P.P.S If you did what i said and still see spinning cam then you need to dig deeper:

1. Download Android Terminal Emulator

2. Run "su" then "dmesg" commands and then look for a message similar to this: "<6>[ 1489.104652] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=0291".

3. Remember or copy idProduct number and place it at the end of your copied file in "/system/usr/keylayout". For example if you find "...idProduct=0458a" then you should rename your copied .kl file to "Vendor_045e_Product_0458a.kl"

First off - did you read any of the stickies about our phone? Unless you are on the MDK bootloader, you cannot install a custom recovery nor can you install this rom. You must use Safestrap to load any custom TW rom - no AOSP or CM based roms at this time.
