Found a workaround for anyone interested. Create a new gmail account with a date of birth older than 13 (if in the UK, may need to be older for other countries). Invite this new account to join your 'family'. Install Google Play on the Kindle Fire (which can be done without root), install Google Play Music, add the new account to the Music app and job done! [EDIT just noticed the post above has links for installing the Play services]

Only downside I've found is that if more than 1 child then they are 'sharing' the account and any playlists they create are also shared.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau006:
This is what I've done for now as well, just was hoping to take advantage of the schmancy new parental controls and such via the family link thing. Hope it works for Chromebooks now that they are the new Android tablets

I'm in the exact same loop. Did you ever figure it out?

I'm in the exact same loop.. Did you ever figure it out??
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boolionCube:
so close...

i found a few useful nuggets with `adb logcat` . Unfortunately, they exited my scroll back buffer before i could write them down.

the initial loop (downloading the app)

it doesn't have permission to write to storage; looks like its downloading and discarding

... it should be like "!@%# where'd my download go?" :p

thanks for the apk - sideloading gets us moving on

the next loop (activate manager) ... more permission issues

this time like "denied granting because this is not a system app".

i thought its trying to become a device admin -- so i manually enabled it in the settings > device admin ... no change

would someone (smarter than i) please point out which permissions & how to grant them, or tell me if i'm way off base ? alternately, with root - we can make this a system app, so it is not blocked from what it needs ?

FWIW: i also managed to use my sons account for ~7min ... opened the store - accepted T&Cs -- updated installed apps, grabbed a few from the family library & request a few new apps ... then i got a notification (on parent and child devices) "the account was removed because setup was incomplete"
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leaskovski:
I have been trying to get this working as well. From the looks of it, it is down to a missing settings page. I guess we could sideload the settings.apk from a AOSP device and see if that gives us access to the required pages to enable access for the app? Would that work?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undrh2o:
I tried installing a settings.apk from apk-mirror but the name conflict with the one already installed

Stuck at the same place

Hi, did you managed to figure this out because I'm stuck at the same place as you! :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leaskovski:
So I went through the process of installing on a android VM, and it looks like this might be down to profiles. It looks like there are multiple profiles on the device after setup.

It seems to work until some timeout triggers and the account gets removed, but I'm able to install apps and have the approval come through to my device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerseyChewi:
I haven't been able to break out of the loop. If I manually installed Family Link then it would prompt for which account to add. Selecting the child's account would stay in the loop. Adding my own would break out of it and I'd be able to access to Play Store but only as myself. The top left selector allowed my to choose the child account but would just put me back into the loop. Eventually I cleared away the Family Link stuff in the hope that a fresh attempt would work but once I was the sole account in the Play Store, I found it impossible to break out of that situation, even after deleting data from the various Google apps. I reckon removing either the Android user or the Google account record from the "Users & accounts" section in Settings would allow me to proceed but bloody FireOS hides this in favour of their own hobbled multi-user stuff.

I have made a discovery though. I found that the Humble Bundle app is also broken and despite the problem being very different, I believe the cause is the same as you get the exact same Download Provider permissions error in logcat. This post explains that it is down to an incompatible difference in FireOS compared to stock. I tried to replace DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUi with APKs from LineageOS 12.1 but got INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE. I then "uninstalled" the existing apps using the same trick that the debloater does but then I got into a real mess as the earlier error remained and I wasn't able to restore the old apps either, even with the APKs, as they have separate ODEX files. The app isn't even really uninstalled as it is a system app and I do not have root but it seems sufficiently broken that I will have to wipe and start again. I still wonder if this is the right direction for solving this problem though. Any bright ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xda_2017:
Dear all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note3 right now, and are thinking of upgrading to Note8. One of my use case is that I use Lynda.com a lot (to learn AI and machine learning, etc.), and for Note3, some of the Lynda.com training videos (e.g. coding tool screen and menus) would not be readable on Note3 screen (due to screen-size). I wonder if this would be improved on the Note8 (given it's LONGER but slightly narrower screen-size)? Does anyone has experience here and maybe can post some side-by-side comparison photos or videos, etc.? Thanks a lot!

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Here's a screenshot of that website. Maybe compare to your N3?

I suppose because the N8 has higher pixel density, more information will fit onto the screen than your N3.

Also, the Browser has a video pop out function. It will keep playing the video in a window while you browse the site... not sure how compatible it is with all video types...

[HTC Excalibur] seraphic8x:
My phone froze with the notification for 2 new text messages staring me in the face. It didn't respond to the power button, so i popped the battery and restarted. On restart - no 2 new text messages were found! I know the answer is probably 'no way,' but is any recovery of these messages possible?

Oh, PS - i'm on T-Mobile running the new HTC 1.33 rom.
[HTC Excalibur] h4waii:
Nope. I had this issue, 2 messages sitting at the HTC Home screen. I had to take out the battery too, SMS's were gone and I was racking my face for about 3 days finding out who sent them. If there's one thing that tickles me, it's that.

Sorry I know of no way of getting to them, check all your folders and perhaps there is a stored SMS database file it might have remnants.

I went as far as having a friend who works for my carrier, run a network resend to see if they would be pushed to my handset again, to no avail.
[HTC Excalibur] seraphic8x:
i found out who they were just by contacting everyone it might have been. but i seem to remember this happening before at least once or twice, so it'd be nice to know there was a fix for this or a way to recover.

[Xperia Z3v General] kentompkins:
I see Z4vs being sold on Ebay from China. No reason to think not legit. High rated sellers. I always wondered where all those unsold phones went.

Well, on my 2nd Z3v now and wondering... Any reason to think I couldn't buy a Z4v, slap my SIM in it and be a happy camper?
[Xperia Z3v General] josephnero:
Let us know if you ever buy it

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Btw are you ok with no updates and etc?
[Xperia Z3v General] kentompkins:
I will answer my own question. I am currently holding my fully functional z4v. It's the real thing. I put my SIM in and it works fine. All functionality. No issues. It came in a z3 + box and I was about to be really pissed off but lo and behold. It's a z4v. Verizon logo on the back. Works on the network just fine. I will give this a couple of days and report back.

Obviously no ROM updates from VZW. So I am not going to go nuts with it. Not even gonna try to root it.

I will connect it to the Sony Xperia restore app to see if it even knows what it is.

So, yes. Z4vs are out there. Apparently they're all in China. I never believed they just destroyed them all.
[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
Wow! That is awesome! I'm kind of surprised Verizon allows that device to activate.

I'm still running my Z3v but after three years it's starting to fall apart literally. It would be fun to "upgrade" to the Z4v if I could get my hands on one.
[Xperia Z3v General] blackice000:
I have a Z4V as well. Sony Dev site gives me a valid bootloader unlock code, however verizon has a bootloader unlock allowed=NO in place. I have spoken with verizon tech folks (Not low level people, but high level staff) they don't care about the phone at all. I bet if I knew what to ask for, I could get them to change unlock allowed from NO to YES...I believe that that can be done from the keypad.

I have managed to get root for 15 seconds at a time with (gasp) Kingroot, however RIC kicks in and reboots the phone and I back to square one.

Also, in it's stock for, I am unable to mount a MicroSD card, though SIM cards are fine.

I'd love to get the stock firmware and the ability to root. If I could get into the phone I could pull the stock partitions myself.

In order to use other ROMS, we would need the driver for the CDMA radio and the UHD Display. Easy enough to swap those out.

Anyone have any ideas??

BTW: I have working Fastboot and ADB. Flashtool does not recognize the phone nor do any of the "standard" root exploits work.

[Xperia Z3v General] tbtregenza:
Any updates on getting z4v activated on Verizon network? Curious myself.
[Xperia Z3v General] blackice000:
My Z4v is online with verizon, that was no problem at all. The issues I am having relate to (of course) locked bootloader and the lack of a STOCK ROM ftf file to experiment with. Since dm-verity and ric are still in place, root isn't possible (that I know of).

Great device, would love to experiment with it!

Rick
[Xperia Z3v General] dskrvk:
I recently got one as well (not from China, but some kind of a test device). Works on Verizon just fine, though right after activation it had been showing an icon saying, "Activation in progress, don't turn off the device" for >1 hour until I restarted it. The only issue I have now (besides being stuck with an old firmware) is with the mic - people on the other side of the call complain they can barely make out what I'm saying. No such complaints with a headset, so I just use that for now. Not sure if it's something that could be fixed with software - I'm in the same position as blackice000 on that front.
[Xperia Z3v General] blackice000:
dskrvk,

I am waiting on a guy from Vietnam that believes he has the STOCK ROM for the Z4V (ftf format) If I had that, I believe we can adapt many of the newer ROMS and improvements while keeping the device specific pieces intact. Hell, I would keep 5.0.2 if i had root. Really like Titanium backup!

If you have any leads...let me know. I know this device is a rarity, but it's almost exactly what i wanted to replace my aging Razr M (albeit a bit larger than i would have liked.)

Rick,

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] GeekyTanuj:
Hi users and developers ,I am pretty much confused as for I should pick Moto g4+(3,32) by handing over my Moto Turbo (3,64),so can suggest your views as if it'd be a worthy upgrade or not?as far as I know the g4+ has software glitches creating the performance issues and wonder if they could solved by installing custom ROMs? awaiting for a quick reply, thanks in advance ??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] trsix:
no clue if it's a n upgrade

Don't know anything about your current phone.-

No software issue ever on my g4 plus.

The g4 plus is ok for a cheapy phone.

i DO have ghost touch off and on which is a pain in the ass though.

No compass also, some people want that.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Titan068:
if you can buy G5+ or G5s+ go for them as G4+ is a heater and have different problems for different users.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Outfield303:
you should get g5+ which is defiantly good phone than g4+
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] andrescm:
The G5+ looks much better if you can afford it. As others said, the compass is missed in the G4+. Other than that, it's a great phone with a great battery life and I don't have ghost touch issues if I leave the screen brightness below 50%.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] saranshkmr.in:
You should not go for g4+

I must tell you this phone heats a lot especially when you record a video, no matter which rom you are on. And there are different issues with different users like ghost touch, screen burn,random shutdowns/reboots,etc.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] sshock:
Nope don't ever pick g4+ when g5+ or g5s+ are way better in heat management and have premium design.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Srinadh:
Go for g5+ instead of g4+. I'm currently using the g4+ and recently bought the g5+ for my brother and i must say that g5+ was 100 times better than the g4+. G4+ heats a lot if u play games and browsing with data etc... Whereas the g5+ doesn't even get warm with extreme gaming and multitasking,browsing etc...Also the battery life is terrible in g4+ as we have to charge for 2 times a day (my usage may differ with others) but on the g5+,the battery life is awesome. Note that both are having 3000mah battery but the processors are different which makes the g5+ more battery efficient and no heat rejection. Camera is also better in g5+ even though g4+ also takes good photos. Overall if u want to buy new phone i will 100% recommend g5+ over g4+ as i have seen both phones and used it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Iamanel:
I see lot of ppl recommending g5, but that was not your question!

I find the g4 to have a really nice and active community with a lot of stable and experimental roms. Oreo is soon to be stable.

The g5 is a newer device which will be upgraded to oreo officially, but is a more expensive device and it doesn't have official TWRP nor official lineageOS yet.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] mewsayzthecat:
I have had many problems with my g4+ and it's replacement from Moto. On my first one I had a massive screen burn in issue, after 5 minutes of charging you could see the status bar icons when the status bar wasn't there. With the replacement, it kept bending so that if you put it on a flat surface only the top and bottom would be touching with the middle arcing upward about a millimeter. I also have had ghost touch issues on the replacement that happened whether or not it was charging. The only fix I found for that was to keep the brightness low. the G4+ is a fantastic phone for the price, if you can get one with no issues. As far as whether or not it is an upgrade from your Motorola Droid Turbo, here is a link to phone arena that compares the specs of the two phones (64 gigabyte models of each). I hope this helps you out, have a great day.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] AndroidBR:
I have just purchased an used Moto G4 Plus XT1644 4GB + 64GB today at B&H Photo in excellent condition (10 out of 10), at least that's how they described it, for $138.50 shipped. It's arriving on Thursday. But I was not aware of these heating issues, screen burn in / ghost touches and so on... So now I'm kinda worried about my decision... My wife had an iPhone 6 and I converted her to a Moto G5 Plus about 3 to 4 months ago. She's very happy with the phone.

I only went with the G4 Plus because of the extra RAM, plenty storage space, external SD card reader and larger screen compared to the G5 Plus (*for the price I paid*). Most importantly, I bought the G4 Plus because it has ElementalX kernel, official Lineage OS support and TWRP as well. The combination of these three kept my Nexus 5 going for 3+ years before it gave up on me a few months ago. My N5 still works but it randomly shuts down and reboots when using demanding tasks like taking photos or when it heats up. As long as I can keep it frozen (out of the freezer - literally) it works just fine though. I've been using a crappy $60 Amazon Prime Exclusive phone, the Blu R1 HD on stock Marshmallow + Magisk / Xposed / Gravity Box / N-ify. Performance is fine considering what I paid for it. Thanks to the infamous fire.apk that plagued the R1 HD for months, I managed to get a full refund for that phone today. So I've got a free phone with malware basically.

I really wanted a 5.5" to 6" phone with good dev support on the cheap but as you know, both the G5 Plus / G5S Plus have a smaller 5.2" and very little dev support (compared to the G4 Plus). So I went with lower price, better dev support and slightly bigger screen on the G4 Plus.

What do you guys think?

Thanks! But have you checked that page out? It's a very random, make a wish type of messages that no one cares to reply based on personal experience with the device. My post was in hopes of a feedback from people who currently own that device that I just bought. Because I was wondering if I should have invested more money on upgrading to the G5 Plus. "Worth the upgrade?" which I honestly think it's still on topic. If no one wants to take the time to entertain that thought it's fine. I just thought I'd share my own thoughts / reasoning behind my purchase of the G4 Plus instead of just "making a wish" that probably no one with answer objectively with authority on the subject. Get it?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] AndroidBR:
Never mind. Bought a brand new G5 Plus 4+64 at Walmart for 154+tax. I think it's a better deal than the G4 Plus I purchased yesterday. I'll compare them both, particularly the screen size difference and max brightness. But I think you can't beat that price on a brand new phone.
