[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiasfj:
I don't know if my problem with my screen is related to yours, but i'm experiencing some problems as well.

On the picture i attached in this post is a picture taken of my screen with a black background.

In the middle of the screen there is a slight discolouring, and in this particular spot the touch screen is very unresponsive, i'm especially noticing this when playing candy crush, making it almost impossible to swap the two candies in this particular spot
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim.C:
Both of these sound a bit like my problem was at first, but mine quickly got worse (in hours) and then I found the hairline crack in the screen.

Bottom corner and not in a part of the screen that displays anything - just the 'glass' front at the bottom - but a third of the screen near the middle doesn't respond to touch.

It gradually got worse over a couple of hours until it stopped responding altogether.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] lembi2001:
Hi all

I have been asked to look at a Tab 2 which is bricked. I am able to boot the unit to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen but no further. I am able to boot into download mode but not recovery. When I try to access recovery mode I just get a black screen. No combination of button presses displays anything on the screen. I was hoping to access recovery to try and work out what had been done or at least perform some file recovery with adb if possible.

I can't just flash the device as the owner is not around and I can't get hold of them at the moment. Any suggestions?

Hello.

I'm trying to listen to offline music with my Smartwatch 3. I have configured Google Play Music to download music to Android Wear, but when I start the player in the watch it states "no music available....".

I have a lot of music stored in the phone which can be played from Google Play Music, but it doesn't get copied to the watch. All the tracks are stored in the microUSB, none of them have been downloaded from google.

Any idea of how to get music into the watch?

Thanks.

Heres a guide showing how to download music via Google Play Music to Android Wear.

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/24/how-to-store-music-on-android-wear-for-offline-playback/

On a separate issue, does anyone know how to start Google Play Music from their watch to their phone?

I was out running the other day with both watch and phone. I clicked on GPM on my SW but it said no music downloaded to watch. In the end I had to get my phone out to start GPM so I could control it. Does anyone know of any 3rd party app that would solve this?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lm_1970:
Thanks, I had already tried it but didn't work for me. Perhaps offline music only works with downloaded music, not with music directly stored on the phone.

Regarding to your question, if I understood correctly, you want to start from your watch Play Music on the phone. If you select on your watch "Start->Play Music" it will try to play offline music, but if you select "Play Music" on the first level menú (without selecting Start), it will open Play Music on your phone and start playing the last song.

Regards.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] gs05:
Get wear mini launcher - it is perfect for this watch! swipe to the left and select the app to run
[Sony Smartwatch 3] king conan:
two important details before transfering music to watch:

1.- Do it with battery level 70% or more in the watch. The transfer fails with low battery.

2.- You must have in the phone less than 4Gb of downloaded music. If you have more music downloaded to your phone than the storage of the watch, the transfer will fail too.

I know. If you have a lot of music in your phone for offline playback this is a mess...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lm_1970:
Thanks, but when you say downloaded, you mean downloaded from google play music only? The music which has been directly copied and stored in the microsd/memory of the phone is never going to be transferred to the watch?

Regards.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] king conan:
Exactly, the music must be in the cloud first. Remember you can store 20.000 mp3 for free in Google play music.

The path that works:

Before to send to watch, the music has to be downloaded from Google music account (from the cloud, meaning music from premium service or your own mp3 previously uploaded to Google music) to your phone for offline playback.

So first upload to Google music your own mp3 (if you are not premium), then download to your phone (to internal or external memory) and when you're done select download to wear.

The transfer to watch is very very slow, but it works fine if you do it that way.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lm_1970:
Understood. Thanks a lot. What a great idea from Google, upload tracks to the cloud and then download again to the phone. They really want our info in the cloud...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] king conan:
Yeah that's the Google "price" to use their services. 20.000 tracks to upload for free is a very decent proposal.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dprantl:
I can't wait for another app that will allow the simple transfer of music to the watch without having to jump through bunches of hoops. It is bound to be available very soon.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stamppot:
I found a reference in the online manual for the SW3 that Sony intends to use the walkman app for that as well, in addition to Google Music. Even better: according to the manual you should get sync per playlist. Also, it would sync via the tracks stored on the device (or so it seems). Alas, my current version of Walkman does not contain this functionality, so this reeks of a bit of a botched launch...

see here: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/swr50/userguide/Music/

Or does this work for anyone?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] legend921:
There are new instructions on how you can dictate certain playlists to dowload onto the watch. When the music is being transferred, you want to go into your phone and go to downloads and uncheck the playlists that you do not want at this step. Can the USB port be used for other reasons besides being a charging port? It would really be nice to be able to just load it that way rather than bluetooth. I am hoping the walkman app gets an update to play music on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stamppot:
Just found out that a new version of the walkman app is being released which brings the functionality alluded to in the manual of the SW3. Didn't receive it yet on my Xperia Z1 yet, so couldn't test it.

Source: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/11/26/walkman-app-update-8-5-a-0-6-brings-android-wear-support/
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lm_1970:
¡Yes! This one works. Tested on my Galaxy S4, it installs a "Walkman" component in the SW3. You can select in the phone which playlists you want to download to the watch, and then play them form the SW3.

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] BartManX:

New Walkman app: tested on Xperia Z1 Compact (+ SW3 of course) - works fine - as advertised. Dissapointing are the long transfer times, but it is obvious BT limitation. Hope that some future AW updated will enable Wifi funcionality, which will be used then for the music transfer purpose.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cifrasoft:
I think it is not correct (in current version of Google Music). I use Google Play Music without uploading anything to the cloud (I actually disabled Play Market in settings). I just copy all my tracks to my phone internal memory, and I'm able to synchronize all my tracks with the smart watch and listen them in off-line mode. No uploading to Google.

You need patience when you copy your music from the mobile phone to your watch - it is very slow, and it's better to connect the power adaptor (it requires 70% battery, otherwise it won't transfer files).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RabanJr:
I have a TYTN and never had had the "U" come up on my phone. (I am with Tmobile). I recently upgraded to the newest HTC ROM and as soon as you go through the date and time setup and you tap to start using the phone, it immediately displays a "U" for the UMTS signal.

Then the extended rom kicks in and does its stuff and after the reset the "U" is gone and replaced by the "E" for EDGE.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Did I ever really have UMTS?

I have my band selection on auto and I have tried also to change the band settings. It tells me that there is s data call present and to try later.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wpbear:
No you never had U. The new Cingular ROM always says U if you do not have the ext_Rom installed. I live in a E area on Cingular and it did the same until I put the .....PPT......cab from the ext rom on the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RabanJr:
Your Right

You are right. I reset my TYTN and reset before the extended rom began. The "U" was there. I put in internet2.voicestream.com and the little "E" appeared above the bars while the big "U" was still there. I ran a speed test just to be sure. I got a wopping 135 kb. It was nice to see the "U", even if it was fake.

Thanks for the help.

I recently was in Boston (3G area) - 8525 with upgraded ROM, showing both "U", and at times "H". However, there was no real difference in speed (DSL mobile test). But, interesting none the less to have all four symbols (G,E,U &H) displayed.

[Lenovo P780] GlumReaper:
Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone's seen this before, or could suggest anything. Yesterday morning my P780 rang my alarm as usual, and I dismissed it, then about half an hour later when I came to use it, the phone wouldn't come on. Black screen, no response to power button. It would show the red charging light when plugged in, but wouldn't come on at all.

A bit later on, after trying various things, I eventually dissassembled the back panel and disconnected the battery for about ten minutes. After this the phone came back on! :)

Hoping it was a one-off I started using it again, and it worked normally for about a day, with a full charge overnight. But today it's gone again! I had to take the battery out again, which brought it back for about an hour before it went again! I've given up for now...

Any ideas? Why is it dying like this? What can I try to fix it?

Thanks
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. I sugest to see first if is from software: flash another ROM.

If it is from software after flash should work fine. If it is a hardware problem you should go to a service store.
[Lenovo P780] GlumReaper:
Hi Stympy,

Thanks for your reply. I'm really hoping it is software, because there are no Lenovo service centres in my country!

[Motorola Atrix HD] Dr. Orange:

For the wake locks, did you select the wake locks you wanted to block? It looks like you have to select the different wake locks after enabling the wake lock blocker.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Tones are located in advanced sound settings.

It's possible that it was part of a separate audio driver. I do know that you can accept emergency broadcasts and where that is located in settings. However it should use the notification tone for the emergency sound.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleets:
Hi. Any idea if it's possible to change what colour android decides a contact should be when they don't have a picture associated?

It seems completely random but I'd rather have people who I SMS a lot NOT be bright pink but can't find any way to change it in contacts or Google Messenger :(

Any ideas? Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleets:
Well I deleted the contact(s) and re-added them and they got a new random colour...

Not the best solution for changing stuff...ho hum
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikskcas:
Have you tried simply adding and removing contact pictures ?

The colors seems to be set per contact but changed to match the dominant color of a picture (if set)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I tried this but it didn't seem to work, the colors remained the same. Instead I uninstalled the app, changed all the relevant contact pics that I wanted changed in messenger to just solid color images of the new color I wanted, re-installed and opened the app, and all the changes I wanted were done. After that I changed the contact pics back to normal and this fix appears to have worked. I'm pretty sure it's most important that you have to open up the app at least once upon re-installing before changing your contacts' pics back, that way the app gets stuck in the colors you want. Anyway sorry if I'm repeating anyone else, just thought I'd offer my two cents. And of course besides this shortcoming it's still a really good app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikskcas:
Latest version of messenger added color change for each conversation.

Still remains the contact as of in itself.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrantWilsonZIMBABWE:
The varying colors of the contacts is not random on my phone (Galaxy S5).

Each time I add a contact it selects the next color in the sequence...

Blue, Green, Orange, Orange

Blue, Green, Orange, Orange...

It just looks untidy in the Contacts list, and I see no way of changing it - apart from adding a contact a few times until it's the color you want, and deleting the unwanted ones. You could also create some simple color pictures to assign to each profile picture (if you don't have their photo)

I just side-loaded the newest Hulu Plus APK to my ATV. It was downloaded from Google Play.

It starts, but it can't be controlled with the fire tv remote control. Using a USB keyboard is okay, but it's annoying.

So, is there a difference between the Hulu Plus versions released on Google Play and via Amazon app store?

If yes, can someone please make an APK of the Amazon app store version and upload it here?

I am from Germany, as Hulu is not officially supported here I am not able to download it from Amazon by myself.

Thanks in advance!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] german_psycho:
No one here with a rooted AFTV who can drop me a backup APK of the Hulu Plus app? Would be really appreciated!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Just follow this guide to get access to all the Amazon apps... http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-geographically-restricted-apps-from-amazon/

I have found that best way to control all the sideloaded streaming apps which I've installed is a mouse & the FireTV Remote. I use the Mouse to point & click what I want to stream within the apps & the only way to go back within the streaming apps is the back button on the FireTV Remote. Although it can be a pain to input a long complicated passwords without a keyboard. It's not as important as a mouse for streaming apps.. And you can probably use the AFTV Remote app's phone keyboard to help with that.

The link to install FireTV's Hulu Plus is already in the FTV. Just need to mod your account temporarily to be able to install it.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] german_psycho:
Thanks, but the guide doesn't seem to work anymore. I think Amazon has changed something. I can change my account to Amazon US, I can see the App in the store (when I am connected via VPN) but when I select buy, it just says that I am geo-blocked :(

I hate those damn geo-restrictions. Google Play isn't that hard to overcome the restrictions, but with Amazon I found no way yet, grmbl.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Odd... Last week I was able to get some BBC UK apps just fine. I did not change to a UK IP either.. Just used the one I use here. Try changing the VPN's IP address or don't use the VPN at all.. Or try just using a trial of a DNS service. Will try to get you the Hulu APK... But I wold not give it in trying to get the guide to work. Change the US Name & Address again..
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] german_psycho:
Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing works.

I now tried nearly every possible combination. With and without VPN (without, it won't show me the Hulu app). I even put some money on my Amazon account via gift-card. This way I could sort out that it's no problem with my german credit card, even if the the app is free.

But no luck at all.. So, I'd be really nice if someone could just send me the app so I can sideload it. Unfortunately, I don't know no other way :(
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Have backed up the FireTV's Hulu Plus apk in my FireTV.. Trying to pull it to my PC...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Here you go... Let me know how it goes..
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] german_psycho:
Thank you, sir! Awesome!

After installing it, it gives me an error that my user account hasn't bought this app :D

Why, oh, why is Amazon so restrictive?? Grmbl.. But it was worth a try.

For the time being I think I have stick to the Android app from the Play store and use an USB-Mouse. Not very convenient, but at least it works..
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Try doing the change to US Amazon & then try installing the APK I uploaded see if that helps.. Also what Country/Language have you had it setup under.. Change it to US too just to try it out.. Also make sure you have enable the installation from Unknown Sources in Settings/System/Developers .
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] german_psycho:
Changing back to US account and re-installing the app did not help, but I finally got it to work. Was a long way..

First, I connected to US VPN and created a new Amazon account at amazon.com. I then logged of my german account on my AFTV and logged in via the newly created account.

I bought the Hulu app then and installed it on the AFTV. I was then able to start it up and login. Afterwards, I logged the US amazon acc off and logged in once again with my "normal" german account.. And voila, it works.

Conclusion: It seems the app stores something in the data installed on the AFTV rather than on your amazon account. Interesting to know, maybe it helps others, too.

rooting late version AT&T S5

Check your firmware . it probably ends in NG3, for towelroot to work you need to flash the kernal only from NC3. There is a specific thread,for that, ill try to find it and post a link. Have you installed KIes? If you do you'll get the latest driver, and in kies under tools you can update that driver. You may also be able to use Mobile Odin, but I gave not used it. You may want to pykk the battery and the cable, pkug the battery in, and boot into dowload. Holding power, home, and volume down. Press volume up at the prompt.
