Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-tvs-youtube-app-gets-a-refreshed-ui-with-latest-update
[Shield Android TV General] o-l-a-v:
You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.
[Shield Android TV General] MrBungle67:
What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.

https://www.youtube.com/tv
[Shield Android TV General] Viggen66:
So it can't be ported to arm format?
[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.

Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.
[Shield Android TV General] wanabi:
apk for arm device is available on apk mirror (v2.00.17):

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...d-tv-android-tv-2-00-17-android-apk-download/
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
That is utterly hilarious. Was uploaded 1 HOUR AGO. lol

I better start my device to see if it gets it automatically or not. Thanks for the heads up. :good:
[Shield Android TV General] Viggen66:
Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them :)
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?
[Shield Android TV General] Viggen66:
Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.
[Shield Android TV General] wanabi:
No crash for me

But option to change quality video is gone:crying:
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.
[Shield Android TV General] ThatGuy94:
I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.

Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:

Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.
[Shield Android TV General] ramzi33:
I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.
[Shield Android TV General] CuF:
New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).

Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).

This version is going to need some work.
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/

Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.

So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?
[Shield Android TV General] CuF:
I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Oh wow, I'm just now seeing your reply about account selection not working. I had the same problem but the error message did not stick around long enough for me to read it. I believe it showed my correct account but only for a split second and then defaulted to the account I never use.

Now I'm wondering if there is a workaround, or some way to delete the account we do not want or need, or some way to merge them without any negative consequences?
[Shield Android TV General] dontbeweakvato:
can you point me to the good version? I cant find the correct version on apk mirror. ive installed like 6 versions and they all refuse to let me select my channel like the version I was using 3 days ago
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
Google put a Note in the Play Store telling people that there is a bug with the new YouTube for Android TV and that it will not let you select the account you want until they get it fixed. It says it should be fixed within a few weeks, according to Google.

EDIT: Oh wait, did you mean the previous version of YouTube? I just used the Uninstall updates feature from the Play Store App to uninstall the new version. That put me back on the original version that came with the ROM, then I rebooted.
[Shield Android TV General] dontbeweakvato:
yea. I flashed a dev rooted shield rom from the website and youtube wasnt on there, i manually installed it manually. so it only gave update or uninstall as options. I tried like 4 yt apps and like 5 versions of the youtube for shield. Finally found the good version.

Here it is .....
[Shield Android TV General] SkOrPn:
I really wouldn't call that a good version either though. I have not ever seen a so-called "good" version of Youtube on my SHIELD as of yet. 1.3.11 constantly has issues of some kind. Maybe some day the newer version will work better but I won't hold my breath...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ben_ais:
since the last update to the Al00 225 firmware i cant turn on the location history, in the maps with no error message, and in fit there is an error message that location history not available for this device.

any help?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nicolas.:
Weird...

I do experience here exactly the same behavior with a brand new Huawei P10, running release: VTR-AL00C00B157

This happens of course in Europe, outside of China.

So... Bug ? Or limitation ?

Any idea ?

Update:

- I figured out that this happens after installing Google play store, then downloading any app from it will turn the location history in Google maps to unavailable!

The only way then to recover the location history is to factory reset the P10.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] longarms:
It is not worked to do the factory reset to solve this problem. I guess it is due to the model number VKY-AL00. As it is a Chinese version. Mine is AL00C00B167 and have the same issue. I will rebrand to other region to solve this problem...:(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] koohiisan:
I'm having this issue now as well (Chinese AL00 version), although it worked up until about the end of July. Any solutions found?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] andrews317:
Same problem here with brand new Mate 9 model MHA-L09. Location history is disabled and can't turn it on.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zhuzhikai1996:
hi guys, that is because since B255 update, HUAWEI replaced the Google location service using Amap location service.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Kwaadpepper:
I have the Nokia 6 ta-1000 and I can't activate the location history also. This is the Chinese model. Before September I was able to use it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rebayona:
Is there a fix for this? Will rebranding phone to international version do the trick?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] koohiisan:
Yes, that's what worked for me. I rebranded my AL00 to a European dual-sim and location services never gave me another issue.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rebayona:
That's great news. Now I need to rebrand from HMA. - AL00 to HMA-L29 (Mate 20) which seems to be almost impossible ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Danieliyo:
Hello XDA Community,

Ever since I got my Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930A) it hasn't gotten a OTA update. I have 4 family members with the same phone purchased the same date and they are all up to date with their software. I have tried updating it using the normal process Settings>About Device>Check for software updates and it always tells me that "Current software is up to date". There most be something wrong with my phone, is there a fix for this type of problems? My phone is currently on Android 6.0.1 Build #: MMB29M.G930AUCS2APH1. I would like to update it since I have an outdated security patch etc. I would like to gain root access but I just read that with root samsung pay can not be used, can anyone confirm this? I have rooted phones before, just haven't done it in a while. Any help, suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

Thank you in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] imwithalwood:
Gotta have att sim card in I think. I have same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xcaliburpcs:
Take it to a Samsung rep in Best buy, they'll updated it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Danieliyo:
Is there anyway that I can perform the update with my PC? I see the stock ROMs available on here but they all required root. Is there any stock ROMs that don't require root?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] imwithalwood:
I went to Best buy and they updated me to QE1. They did not have QF3 yet. Whole process took 5 mins though

I've been developing an MIDlet for some time now. I have the application working on both Blackberry and Symbian. My problem is creating a DatagramConnection object on Windows Mobile. I have been trying to guess the connection string to use as I have failed to find any documentation for java managers which i have at my disposal.

Currently I am testing with the Esmertec (Jeodek build 20060421-95649) manager on windows mobile 6. The connection strings I have tried so far are the following... (I have included the code which I use to test the connection string below)

datagram://test.com:22

udp://test.com:22

udpdatagram://test.com:22

What I would apprecicate is if someone could either advise me toward which protocol strings are available in the Esmertec manager or if you could point me toward some documentation I would be very thankfull.

Thank you in advance for all responses.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] idan3gs:
hey guys i just bought the Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950FD Dual Sim version

it seems to not want to receive lte nither with at&t or tmobile strighttalk service

per the specfications i bought the device it suppose to work on

NETWORK

2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

3G bands	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100

4G bands	LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 17(700), 20(800), 28(700)

now currect me if i am wrong but the 4g bands seems to be supported with the tmobile and at&t

so my lame question is am i dumb ass and bought a phone who would not support lte in the usa

or rather i received a defected device

also according to my reading i received the enoyx vs the dragon is there real performence difference bettwen the at&t model to the one i got ?

Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kittiyut:
No, you are NOT a dumb ass and bought the wrong phone.

LTE band 4 should've covered you on AT&T. It did for me on my S7 Edge FD and, of course, S8 FD

As to why you can't get LTE on yours, I'm afraid I can't be of any help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7979271:
Restart your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dayl1ght:
maybe your CSC is wrong, patch it on USA.

Knox is trip, but your want LTE :D

and only Sim 1 can use 4g/lte sim 2 only GSM/3g
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sergeop:
Hey, I am in S8 Cameroon, I just bought my samsung s8 SM-G950FD Dual Sim version. But it can't connect to 4G, only 2G works. Really disappointed with the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
I didn't think this was possible, but I got a replacement Pixel XL from Google months ago (They even had to manually add the phone to their network since it was from Google) to replace my VZW Pixel XL. I had no problems, OEM unlocking toggle was always enabled. Recently I went to OP3, and was trying to pass the Safetynet check and as a troubleshooting step I locked the BL thinking I could unlock it again since I did NOT have a VZW Pixel XL. To my surprise I'm now SOL, and unable to unlock it now it appears VZW is checking their IMEIs and rather the Pixel is from them or not they'll disable OEM unlocking on Android 8
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
What are you using to check safetynet
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Safetynet is the last of my concerns now after these course of events
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You already answered the question of whether or not the system was modified or not when you locked it in another thread.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Yeah it was modified but I was trying use Magisk for the root then lock the BL to see if that would make it pass. Just messing around not expecting to be locked out like I had a VZW device
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jspencer89:
I feel like an idiot I bought mine 3 days ago and it was on 7.1 . I put my VZW sim In and it just went right into the update I'm so pissed it did that.. I really wanted to run Pure Nexus.

I'll put $25 in toward the bounty.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
I wouldn't mind putting cash down either but when its a workaround and the same device being sold without a permanently locked BL, its gonna be super tough for a dev to think its worth it. Most likely we'll have to get new devices from Google....somehow
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
The only somehow is to buy one.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jrk190:
Dumb question, would factory resetting and biting with another soon such as at&t or FreedomPop work to allow unlocking?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
No. It's been tried time and time again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiffan86:
Like Bobby janow said, it's been tried and it doesn't work. I'm with TMO now and it is just as locked down as ever. But this is the first time I'm satisfied with stock and don't care about unlocking it. If I didn't like it, I'd sell this one and buy the GPE.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jrk190:
My thoughts exactly. As long as I get updates, I'm not picky.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
I have a GPE Pixel and I'm still locked down maybe from IMEI from Verizon
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Verizon doesn't lock down Google Store bought Pixels. I had my Pixel on Verizon for months and never had an issue.

If you phone IS malfunctioning in any way (cannot unlock bootloader), you should have no issue getting a replacement from Google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Technically my phone was a warranty replacement from Google. The initial purchase was from Verizon then Google replaced it with theirs. That still should hold true tho
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Google has shipped a number of VZ phones to VZ customers under warranty.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
And to that I'll add when I received mine it took 2 days to activate because they said since it was from Google it had NOT been added to their network. They had to add the phone by IMEI manually then activate. I believe I was one of the first to report this but it happens if you get a Google RMA.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So the way I figure it the devices all come from Google. When devices are shipped directly to Verizon as they scan them into their system. Devices that come directly from Google don't get that chance to be populated in their system because they have no manifest or physical interaction with the device.

How is your device labelled in your account information?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Not sure how to answer that. Can you give me some direction on where to get that? Verizon app?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You can view your devices from the verizon webpage. When you log in and look at your account, there is likely a page for device info.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Ah, that's the difference.. thank you. I thought you got a replacement from Google for a Google Store purchased Pixel. That would be all kinds of wrong!

yeah, Google has a stock of Verizon Pixels. I mean, where do you think Verizon got their Pixels from? ;)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Not sure you're following...why would Verizon have trouble adding a Verizon Pixel to their network?? Doesn't make sense ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 3aucla1r3:
Yeah, he's right! For several days, mine said "NON-VZW DEVICE" then it said Pixel XL, Quite Black, 32 GB. The day that it changed, the wording in settings>dev>OEM changed and grayed out and I can no longer toggle the switch. It was a replacement from RMA so it was a Google edition that has now transformed into a Verizon edition. I agree that probably the ones Verizon gets, they scan and convert right away, but when we get them RMA, it takes their system a while but it gets converted.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sefirosu0522:
I'm on Big Red. Bought my XL from Google. It still says Pixel XL NON-VZW in My Verizon. Should I be fine as long as I don't need a replacement?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I think you have nailed it there. And that explains a lot of the other odities we have seen.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Are you on DP3? Android O. My toggle was fine until I upgraded.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sefirosu0522:
No. I'm on stock July firmware. My bootloader is unlocked but no root or anything like that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 3aucla1r3:
I would hope that you would always be fine since yours would never be RMA from an original Verizon Pixel even if you replaced. I'm not sure that I'm right but I hope so, thinking that only us guys who originally had Verizon edition and then received Google Edition as RMA are having this OEM unlock toggle changing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Verizon has trouble with a lot of things. Why would this be any different?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
You're implying they would send Google Verizon Pixels that haven't been added to their network, all while Google puts it off as one of they're Pixels. Believe in Illuminati much?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Comparing belief in the Illuminati to a telecommunication company screwing something up has to be the worst comparison.

Nevermind the fact that it's a completely pointless step to add the device to their system. Maybe there is something I am missing but on Tmo I pop in the Sim and go. No two weeks of red tape.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Wasn't a comparison, it's how you're trying to connect unlikely dots like how Google sent Verizon Pixels to lock down, then send them back to Google to push them off as actual GPE warranty replacements.

Also, I'm sure you know there's a difference in network technologies. Which a bit of research should reveal devices need to be activated on VZWs network. A sim pop will do nothing
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
One I'm not connecting any dots. That's the other guy.

Two just because Verizon requires you to do something doesn't mean it's the only/best way to do something. If anything it's another way to control/lock in users.

Bit of research would also tell someone it's not a great idea to go re locking your bootloader after it's unlocked. Nevermind the device was modified when it happened.

But hey here we are. Well you are.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
I have a Google edition that I received as a replacement for my VZW model. Received it, popped the SIM in (no activation), unlocked, rooted, etc. My device still shows as non-VZW on the my device page and still has active toggle, I've had it for 2 months or so.

I actually cracked the screen to crap last week and was so worried that my replacement would be VZW that I just decided to replace the screen.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Requires you to activate your phone? How else would you use it?

It would also tell you if you're on 7.1.2 you can relock and unlock if its GPE. Which was my point
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
Activation not required. Just pop in the SIM and you're good. I've done it twice with 2 different devices in the past month.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
I've had 3 phones on VZW network and tried that with all 3. No data. Can someone else chime in on that?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You're kind of missing the point. And obviously all that research didn't save you from the unknown. Lesson learned
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Save me? Lol. It's not nearly the end of the world. I have DP3 and Android Pay, that's all I wanted. This is how the community gains knowledge, I just wanted to inform that VZW has found a way to gain control over warranty replacements from Google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
Google will chime in. Need a link? It works, I've always done it this way and it has always worked. Maybe you weren't concentrating hard enough :cool:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Lol anyone can pop a sim in it either works or doesn't and your claim that it works flawlessly is wrong. I'll assume you're not just on here lying, so that would mean there were extenuating circumstances with your account that allowed you to do it. Don't make the claim if you don't know all the factors ?
