[Moto 360] BobMiles:
Does anybody know more about the 2nd Gen Moto 360? It got a bit quiet since the beginning of the year - or did I miss something?

I'm currently trying to decide if I wait for a release or buy a second hand Moto 360 on eBay...

Edit: I just watched the Sundar Pichai interview at MWC and when he was asked why he isn't wearing a smartwatch, he said he had to take it off because it was an unreleased device...
[Moto 360] apallohadas:
4 months old is pretty much nothing in terms of premium smart watch. I don't see an expectation for a Gen 2 to be out anywhere before the end of this year, if that soon.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an announcement.
[Moto 360] BobMiles:
Thanks! Actually bought a second hand 360 today! It's just an awesome piece of tech

I ordered a 360 yesterday. If you wait for an unannounced Gen 2 you may be waiting a long time.

The old saying remains true "If it's in stock it's obsolete !"
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I am also eager for some news. I'll probably go for the LG Urbane since it still looks good on a suit and as always on mode, without ruining the battery life. Is it because the Moto 360 as LCD instead of amoled screen? But I do prefer the design of the 360.

It might not be long now: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/19/lenovos-ceo-may-have-just-outed-the-new-moto-360/
[Moto 360] touchmd:
I saw that today as well, looks like they fixed the cracked back issue by separating the bands from the watch body, very nice. I have a few colleagues who purchased the first gen 360, all three of the watches' backs cracked; 2 of them had never changed the bands or wore the watches in a different fashion. I am looking forward to purchasing one once this and a couple other issues are addressed, which looks like they are addressing actively.
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
They should make it with the same design, an amoled screen, no "flat tire" and better battery life
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
Crap well I guess the smart thing to do is wait for the 360 2 to come out, then get your (probably cracked) 360 replaced under warranty, and sell it as like new! (and maybe make $200? or less?)
[Moto 360] touchmd:
http://bgr.com/2015/04/07/second-gen-moto-360-rumors-leaks/

The second gen watch near the end of the link looks really nice. It looks like they have remedied the crack issue and made it slimmer. Also, no flat tire either. Very excited to see how this compares to the Huawei.

Is there an increase in battery life when switching from dalvkin runtime to ART?

Also what's the correct process to switch? Do I have to run a backup or anything before switching?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No need to backup. Just go into developer options then change to ART.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arty93:
Any advantages to switching?

Thank you for your help! Think I will hold off until more apps support ART.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSOP:
I've been using ART on CM for months now and not had any crashes / issues, it's entirely possible I i just haven't tried to use an application that doesn't like ART..

[MENTION=5280139]arty93[/MENTION] you can always switch back to dalvik, so there's no harm in trying ART to see how it works for you.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Switched to ART about 6 months ago, never had an app crash because of it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arty93:

Hi.

I got AOKP ROM today.

is there any way to do this.

[General Topics] bbkr:
Visiting http://ota.mediatek.com/fota/ shows bare directory structure with massive mess in it.

Downloading one of the deploy update.zip file reveals source of php files, from which displayaccount.php is particularly interesting.

It lists all system accounts with passwords in plain text when. . . beware best security mechanism ever. . . is invoked as POST.

$ curl -X POST http://ota.mediatek.com/fota/displayaccount.php > users.html # simple as that

Those passwords can be used to log in to http://ota.mediatek.com/fota/manage.php .

I've never seen such disregard of security - from not hiding directory listing, incorrect permissions, leaving development/deploy files on server to ultra-strong "123" passwords.

Any ROM downloaded from ota.mediatek.com should be considered compromised.

I cannot guess from technical codes which devices are affected but list is luckily short.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaerox:
Hey guys,

a friend of me rooted his S4 and installed twin bootloader. He wanted to remove non-removeable apps on the official phone state. All this done the phone worked. He did a factory reset when he got his new phone, now the phone stuck in boot loop.

I'm about to flash the phone to the complete stock.

I researched and I found a few threads which I followed. I tried to flash stock rom, but odin fails.

I also read a thread of some guy, who got the same problem and tried to install CF Kernel and flash stock then. I cannot do this due to no pit-partition.

Can you guys help me out? I'm seriously not to lazy to researche, but with what I found yet, I couldn't solve the problem. I also found a thread where someone is saying you can unzip the right pit-tar by using cygwin. I didn't tried this yet ... any thoughts about this. So far, have a nice day everyone, and thanks in advice for any kind of help.

Best Regards.

What happens when you flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaerox:
Actual I didn't tried to flash a custom recovery (But you noticed there is one actual right? Which seems to work fine, but not sure.) because on custom rom, custom kernel or pit I get the errors shown above.

#Edit: I did those tests on Win 8.1 Pro. I will see if I can do this today on Win7. Some time ago I had trouble on my Win8 with USB drivers. I was wondering why this worked yesterday.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaerox:
Well all those errors on Win 8.1 Pro ... did it on Win 7 on the weekend, worked fine without any problems.

- Installed Pit

- Installed CF AutoRoot (for safety only)

- Installed Stock Rom

- Updated OS

==> Galaxy is working fine.

Thanks for your help.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technician4:
I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this:

Initial volume for ringtones, alarms, and notifications is very low and with sufficient repetition will eventually achieve its set volume.

This doesn't appear to be the case with music, video or any other 'in app' volume, which is working as expected.

Thanks for any responses.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
Should be a setting for the volume to start low, then increase or disable that feature.

Hope they didn't take it out with lollipop.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaris:
Mine is like that too and I haven't found any settings to change it. Maybe it has something to do with the two speakers and its a safety feature.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technician4:
Yep, appears to be a safety implementation. Still want to disable it. To the internet!

Nice list and can confirm a few of those in the work or works only with mouse, or not working...like the amazon stuff
[Nexus Player General] eko3484:
Google Maps, Poweramp and Showbox worked for me. Also, Nova Launcher.
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
Side loading or threw the PC play store?
[Nexus Player General] Munkee915:
XBMC installs and works beautifully. I tried the non-plexpass Plex app. It installs and puts an icon on the home screen. Have to activate w/ a pin. After activation it says it found my server right away but nothing actually ever shows up. It will eventually let you in to the settings screen but thats about it. Im thinking this is being blocked by the guys up at Plex for non plex pass subscribers. Installed the NFL GamePass APK from my phone. It installs and runs but the sign on and game selection screen is stuck in portrait. Also requires a mouse to click on anything. Once the feed starts though it swtiches to landscape and plays fine (GP subscription required. DNS service required if inside the US). Maybe the tablet version will work better but i bet you still need a mouse to select anything. Thats all for now. Just got it today and the kid is taking over for a minion rush session.

PS all sideloaded
[Nexus Player General] bigwillis:
Google search , material browser, MX player beta. All work side loaded.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus Player General] ggrammer:
Thanks to bunchie and chainfire I was able to sideload limelight root and so far it works great. Had to set it up once then reboot the NP and now streaming works great.
[Nexus Player General] Wozman:
I was also having issues with the non-plexpass Plex app, but I was able to sideload the newest version of the Plex for android app using es file explorer, and now it is working great! It even has the new android TV interface layout!
[Nexus Player General] eko3484:
I used ES file explorer to transfer them from my phone.
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
OK I was just asking for the interest of the topic so everyone knows how to get said apps
[Nexus Player General] Munkee915:
OK. I THINK Limelight works. I was able to install it through web Play store, Icon shows up on the home screen. App launches and sees my PC but I am getting handshake failures when I try to connect. I tried to connect on my phone and got the same errors so I think this is more a config/PC issue than the app. But man, if I can get this to work this is going to be a whole new time waster for me. I can stream my PC games to ANY TV IN MY HOUSE!?!?!?! Oh man...

EDIT: Yup, fixed it. Steam update disabled the beta option required for this? I dunno but after enabling it it works great! Plays very nicely w/ the game pad. Full PC games streamed to my NP. I'm going back to the play store to order 2 more for the other rooms in my house.

[Nexus Player General] Munkee915:
Still having trouble with this. I pulled the latest APK off my phone (3.6.2.267) and I can log in and it works great, but I noticed it doesnt place an icon on the home screen or in the sideload launcher. The only way I can launch it is to go to settings->apps and open it from there. What version of the APK are you using?
[Nexus Player General] eko3484:
I also installed Plex through es file explorer and it is awesome!

It doesn't show up on the home screen for me but that's okay.
[Nexus Player General] Munkee915:
How are you launching it? For me it doesnt show on home screen or in the launcher.
[Nexus Player General] ggrammer:
Can also confirm slingplayer for tablets is working for me. Very handy as you won't need cable boxes everywhere.
[Nexus Player General] eko3484:
I go to settings then scroll over to apps and its in there.

Trying to find a good way to watch TV from my Hdhomerun Prime. Tried their own app side loaded. Shudders and de-syncs after a bit. Loaded Kodi, audio is good but video lags. Also tried InstaTV. Works but couldn't not get the channel listing to go away. Kodi would be awesome if not for the video lag.
[Nexus Player General] benbloom:
Tivo streaming.

I was really surprised since TIVO has made streaming from DVRs (Roamio etc) very inaccessible (blocked on rooted devices and didn't work with my Fire HD8.9) I already have a tivo mini, for my second TV but this will come in handy for some :cyclops:

All in all, the Nexus Player would be a great device, but no Ethernet port ended up being a deal breaker for me What were they thinking???????. also would've liked an IR port in front and an better launcher and settings. I'm getting the Asus Chromebox instead. I prefer true linux to android anyway
[Nexus Player General] McChen147:
I had the same lag problem. The fix I found was to set the deinterlace option from auto to off. After that video is smooth and in sync. MPEG-2 decoding is done in software on the nexus player currently and that combined with the software deinterlace filter is too much to handle for the device I think. Fortunately, at least for me, deinterlacing wasn't necessary with my tv source.
[Nexus Player General] BSAVAG3:
Which app did you change the deinterlace?
[Nexus Player General] McChen147:
This is within kodi. When you play a video, there is a film reel icon and you can change the video options there.
[Nexus Player General] BSAVAG3:
Ok I'll give it a shot
[Nexus Player General] BSAVAG3:
Ok I had uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall couldn't find 14.0 rc so I got the 14.1 beta so far so good

For Canadian users

for all the Canadian nexus player users, the following are the results of Canadian video apps I have tried.

Shomi: loads but cannot do anything, probably needs a mouse to work

CTV: app opens but just stays at the first loading screen

City tv: app loads sideways on the screen, but can be controlled via remote and the videos play properly in landscape.

Global: app opens and get a connection error

All the above apps needed to be side loaded to be installed.

The Funimation app works (tried the free one), but you have to sideload it and use a mouse. You can get around some of the menus with the remote, but nothing gets highlighted and you need a mouse to actually watch videos. It didn't seem like it would need a tremendous amount of work to fix, so hopefully they push an update out.

Anyone know if crave TV works?
[Nexus Player General] etnpnys:
No idea about CraveTV, but...

The Plex app got an update (yesterday?) and they said that they "went back to single app format"... I didn't know what that meant at the time, but I just went into the Play Store on my Nexus Player and saw that the Plex app had an update available... For my sideloaded Plex app...? So I did it - and voila! Not only does this new version show an icon in the Leanback Launcher, it shows my own library stuff on the top row of the home screen!

A downside so far that I've found is that I can't find any of my "Channels"... I might be able to live with that for a while...
[Nexus Player General] cammykool:

[Nexus Player General] Union2010:
I can confirm that Plex (non-Plex Pass) is available on the Play Store via web browser and no longer needs to be sideloaded. Suggestions and leanback launcher support is also included in the update.
[Nexus Player General] McChen147:
not sure why it doesn't work for you. I know others have also gotten it to work. maybe reset and setup from scratch again?

you do need a mouse to view the map, i can't find a way to select the map with the asus controller

cloud save does not work. normally you get a rockstar social club login when you start the game, but this is never shown when running on the nexus player and the cloud save slots will always say "cloud not available".
