Google Pixel Watch does not work! When will there be a news version with images?

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Version 1.4.0 is live in the store. The logo is changed. There is also a new tile where you can see the latest piece of news from your feeds. I recommend using automatic updates set on 15 minutes so you always have up-to-date news on your tile. In my tests, this uses virtually no battery (although I only have 3 feeds installed). The other improvement is that news items are now sorted according to latest first. Hope you like the update! Feedback welcome.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] mdianov87:
Monsieur, when will it be possible to watch the news with pictures?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] bernarbernuli:
It's very good, it works very well. Yesterday I noticed that without internet connection you can't read the feeds, it shows a warning that says "Loading error! This could be due to poor connectivity or to anincorrect URL.". My watch is not LTE and I was not near my phone so it would be linked and get the feeds from the internet.

I suggest you enable a feature that when there was no internet connection you could read the feeds that were downloaded the last time you had internet, and when there was internet as there is now, logically,
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Hi, and I should thank you here for all your help getting this update ready!

The ability to read feeds offline is already there. Maybe you are on "update when opening"? This is the only situation where the app will try to update and then warn you about connectivity if there is no internet. If you switch to "None" in the Settings, you should see your feeds again? If that's the case, I will think about sorting something out for users who use "update when opening". :)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] bernarbernuli:
That's right! I had marked "Update when open", I will leave it on automatic updates set on 15" as you recommend.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
New update live in the PlayStore. Wear app improvements to comply with Google new requirements (splash screen, scroll bar etc.) + updated dependencies. Mobile app UI improvements + monochrome icon implementation.

Thank you, you are doing a remarkable job. Is it possible to translate the application into French? Thank
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Thanks for your encouragements! Yes, I can translate into French, good idea!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] bernarbernuli:
I take this opportunity to lend my help to translate your app to Spanish, if you think it's necessary.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Thank you, that's very kind of you! Yes, that would be fantastic. I'll be in touch once I have set up the code for integrating translations. Should not be long.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Hi guys! If anyone else feels they could help translate the app, that would be great. The top countries using Peek News, apart from English and French speaking countries, are Germany, India, Netherlands, Italy, South Korea. It is not a huge job. :)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
New update with French and Spanish translations is now live. Many thanks to @bernarbernuli for the Spanish translation!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] androboy06:

You are awesome
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] -lukin-:
Thanks for your hard work. I can imagine wasting hours by death scrolling news stories on my watch 😎

Is it at all possible to make this a watch only app?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Hi there, it would be possible, although entering urls on a watch is a little tricky in my experience. It's not in my plans right now though. Maybe in future... ;)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] wyt18:
does this require the app to also be installed on the mobile device (in addition to the watch)?

Hi @StrangerWeather , just installed peek news by simply downloading it on Google Pay (so I do not have any promo code).

Running into two issues:

1. The widget seems to have its own personality on picking the item to display. It isn't always the latest (of all feeds), and it isn't always from one particular feed.

2. Auto update seems to stop most of the time? I have noticed it refreshing itself maybe once over the 2-day period that I have been using the app, and the update interval is already set to 15min. So for now each time I run the app I have to do a manual refresh for each of my feeds...

I have only read page 1 and 5 of this post so hopefully this isn't something that was discussed before. Thanks !
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
Hi, thanks for your feedback.

The tile will show the latest title of all your feeds, so it does not choose one feed in particular. For both of your issues, it seems as if their are connectivity problems involved. My tile refreshes every 15 minutes without fail. You may have a particularly active battery saver that pushes the app into the background and therefore fails to update it at regular times. This happened to me initially, until an update of my Pixel watch fixed the problem. Unfortunately, very little can be done if there is no access to your watches' battery saver. If you have access, you can whitelist Peek News.

The app is now free, so the promo codes are redundant. :)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] seemebreakthis:
Thanks, I will see what I can do to make the app stay running in the background on my watch (it has nothing to do with the phone app right?).

Also as a public service: Since @StrangerWeather decided not to allow any http:// feeds (actually could I ask why?), and the only remaining active CNN feed seems to be http based (http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_latest.rss), I have decided to duplicate that page and host it on my own website.

For anyone interested, the link is here: https://www.stringtone.com/cnn/cnn_latest.rss . It refreshes itself every 15 minutes. I am using it right now on my own peek news, and it seems to be working.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] StrangerWeather:
That's correct, it has nothing to do with the phone app. As for http (clear text), it is not supported by the libraries I use and in fact is also not supported by default in Android since Android M. This is for security reasons.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] seemebreakthis:
It is always nice to be able to talk to the creator of an app to directly ask questions / provide feedback, so thank you for continuing to monitor and respond to these posts !

Just FYI, I asked in Reddit if there is potentially any method of sparing Feed News from getting killed by the OS, and here is the response from some redditor (apparently a developer him/herself), plus my response:

Freepoc Developer

WearOS is pretty aggressive about killing apps in the background. Firstly because the OS does everything it can to conserve battery life. Secondly, the watches have a small amount of available RAM (compared to phones).

It would be inefficient to keep an app like Peek News running all the time. Instead, the OS provides ways of scheduling jobs to be run at regular intervals. I'd guess that the dev is taking advantage of this capability (if not then they should be). The thing is: the OS can and does delay such scheduled jobs for reasons of battery efficiency. For example, you might want the app to check RSS feeds every hour. But since such jobs are viewed as non-urgent, the OS might delay starting the job until it is "convenient".

Sorry, more info than you might have wanted. TL;DR: the OS is trying to conserve battery. The dev has some options for retrieving RSS feeds anyway.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it just doesn't seem to work on my watch... Perhaps I will need to go search for other RSS reader apps in this case.

-----

I actually will continue using Peek News most likely (how can I leave such a clean and cool looking interface?), it is just unfortunate that I don't get to enjoy the auto-updated feeds, and the tile as a result will be pretty useless to me.

So I'd like to thank you for providing this useful (albeit not 100% usable from my perspective) WearOS app !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] xpoisonxdartx:
So I basically smashed the screen by dropping the phone accidentally. I noticed that an efuse was probably tripped because all my cards from the phone were removed. My question is will I be able to restore full functionality of knox if I take the phone to Samsung? I will replace the screen before taking it to them. I just want to be able to make payments with it again and not have any functions locked due to a tripped efuse. Will Samsung charge me an arm and a leg for knox restoration or is there a custom rom that can fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it's not rooted tripped Knox indicates SOC damage.

Continue to destroy your phone then, fine by me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] System23:
Hi,

when ya Tripped Knox view Options not longer Availible like Developer Options OEM Unlock, so you can do a FactoryReset and start Device after that and do the Setup First Time, than connect to Internet and it must stay 7 Days without reboot or disconnect Internet to Reset Knox to Standart Settings!!! Or you use Method 2, Flash via Odin the StockRom and start it and Setup it and have Standart Knox Settings!!! this 2 Method reset the Knox Status after Tripping!!!

Hello friends, my phone (samsung galaxy s20+) bootlooped which warranted me flash in the android 13 stuck firmware into it. I successfully did but now I don't have any sound or recordings from the device (even Bluetooth speakers don't work) despite the effort to update the software, I not been able to resolve the issue. Who has experience with this, and how do I solve it? Is it possible it could be a hardware issue?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.rosca80:
I have a Note 5 I want to repartition.

Why? Long story short, the screen is broken (no image, no touchscreen) and I wanted to flash a custom rom with ADB enabled by default so I can erase my data and maybe still get some use out of the phone. While flashing some custom ROMs, the phone started to boot loop.

Tried flashing the stock ROM, which previously worked, but now it still boot loops. At least I think it boot loops. When I attempt to start it, the LED starts glowing blue and fading to turquoise and back. After some time, the two capacitive buttons light up briefly and then everything goes dark. A few seconds later, the LED lights blue/turquoise and the whole thing just goes on and on. Left it like this for a whole night and came back to the same "loop" in the morning.

After searching online and on this forum, the suggestion to flash a pit file came up. Tried scouring the internet high and low but could only find one pit file and it wasn't for my specific phone model. Tried flashing it anyway and I done f`ed up. Now I can only boot into recovery or download mode. Flashed TWRP and tried checking the damage and there seems to be no user data partition anymore.

Where can I get a good PIT file for my phone? All the links I find on the internet are dead or behind a paywall which I am not willing to pay for since I don't know if they're actually any good.

Some forums say that the firmware files contain the PIT. Well, that may be true of the "NEW model", as they're referred to in Odin, where you had a BL, AP, CP and CSC file, but the firmware files for my N920I is just a single tar.md5 file, i.e. the "OLD model".

So if you're like me you flash the latest radio that hits the streets and go directly to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 to download a megabyte and see how much faster your phone goes.

Stop that.

For the past few months, consistently during American business hours, I have been getting < 500Kbs/s on the phone from dslreports.com/mspeed but would get >1Mbs after 6pm. I was wondering if it was AT&T or dslreports.com who had poorer service during peak hours or both companies so eventually I did the mobile speedtest on my office computer a have a 5Mbit connection. Guess what, I got on multiple occasions with no exception < 500Kb/s on the computer which got a 4Mbs speed test from Speakeasy.net an instant later. Dslreports's mspeed thing was good while it lasted but until they get a better connection or figure out a better mobile speedtest thing to redirect you to other servers you can't count on them.

If you want to do an accurate speed test, tether your computer or laptop to your phone either with USB or wmwifirouter (not bluetooth) and go to http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and fire up a few tests from different locations. You could go there on your phone if you have Flash but the test interface may possibly eat up too much processing power to handle all the incoming bandwidth to produce an accurate result. So tether to a proper speedtest site (I recommend Speakeasy's). Plus you get upstream. Also if you're comparing radios and take this seriously make sure your phone is positioned almost exactly the same between flashes and tests. And the fewer bars you have the less confident you should be in the accuracy of the tests relative to each other.

If one of you would like, I've got a no-bandwidth-cap shell account on a machine of a reliable ISP and would be willing to host a megabyte speedtest if you can code the thing to time the download and do the math -- contact me.

[Redmi Note 10S] Troughy:
So I've noticed on my note 10s that there are 2 different sos options. First one in Settings - Passwords & security - Emergency SOS which works exactly the same as you can see in this video. Then there's another one in Settings - Safety & emergency - Emergency SOS. (pic) This one is different because you can't set emergency contacts, but it lets you change the emergency number (even to a normal person's phone number). This one also lets you play a loud sound when you activate it. Both work by pressing the power button 5 or more times. The screen you get after activating the second one is different from the first one, here's a picture. Btw you can activate both emergency SOSs and then you get both cancel screens. (so after cancelling the first one you can cancel the next one)

This is kinda weird and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a particular reason why there are two different options for this.
