[App] Sab Watch - Monitor Sabnzbd and search/download from NZBMatrix and Newzbin

After a long delay, I wanted to see if anyone wanted to do some Beta testing. Sab Watch has been changed quite significantly, and before it heads to the Marketplace, I thought it could use a little more real world testing.
If you're interested, Ill send you a XAP which you can use with no limitations... Just post here with your email. Note that the unofficial contract in the deal is that you provide a little bit of your experience. (Errors that you see, language translation errors, etc). Without further adeu, here's the changelog:
3/20/2011 - Version 2.0
Layout change. Quite a few things have moved around. I am interested in hearing what you think: [email protected]
Trial version added. The trial version is the same as full version, except for ads on main screen and a nag when loading the app.
Multi-Language support. Sab Watch will now identify your language, and change text to work for your language. This is experimental, but testing did not show any problems. If you would like to help translate, please contact me at [email protected]. If Sab Watch doesn't recgonize your language automatically, you can change to a language of your choice by going to App Settings.
Supported Languages:
English
English (United States)
Spanish
German
Japanese
Dutch
French
Quite a few UI improvements.
Much more input validation.
Sab Watch will now save your search history. You can clear the history in app settings.
HTTPS support. Note that you will need a valid certificate, or you'll need to add your server certificate onto your phone.
A great tutorial can be found here:
http://davesimm.blogspot.com/2011/03/using-openssl-to-secure-and-encrypt.html
Price Drop - Sab Watch will now sell for 99 Cents (USD)
Please email me for any requests, support, and questions at [email protected].

It also should completely support landscape mode.

I can't currently post links, but I made a post about it on williammelani.com which has some pictures which may be helpful in setting up Sab Watch. Alternatively, you can try reading the information below for more help.
Yep, sorry about it, I actually just changed it to a Pivot/AppBar application which makes the configuration much easier.
On the configuration Page, click on the + Icon to add your first server (or a new one, etc)
From here, enter your Sabnzbd Credentials. You can click the blue 'Config Help...' for more detailed information, but the idea is this:
Server Name is a way for you to identify the server. For example, if you want to communicate on your local network when you're at home, you might call it 'home', and another server with a remote IP you might call 'away'.
Then, enter the IP you use to connect to Sabnzbd, as well as the port and API.
You can find the API key for sabnzbd by going to the 'Config' header and clicking on General. It should be a ~30 character long string.
The IP/host is something like 192.168.1.201, or if you have a domain name attached, it might be something like myhomeserver .com.
Back on the configuration page, you can directly enter your NZBMatrix details. You will need the username you use to login, as well as your API key. The API key can be found by clicking on Your Account at the top of the page after you've logged in.
Finally, you can set a server to be your 'default' by clicking the 'check' button. This server will be the one the application tries to automatically connect with when the application is launched.
When you've done all that, you need to connect to the server for the first time.
To select a server, click on the name until it highlights in your accented color. Then the 'Edit Server', 'Delete Server', 'Default Server', and 'Connect (PLAY icon)' will become available to use.
Your queue and history should show up after the first refresh, and continuously refresh based on the value you set on the 'status' page.
The application fully supports Context menus, meaning that in the three large lists (Queue, History, and Search), you can press and hold for a second to bring up a context menu to perform actions on the selected item.
Single clicking any item brings the 'detailed' view, which shows more information about the particular item you clicked on. On the queue page, you're presented with a few buttons to pause/resume the item, delete it, or move it to the top of the queue.
You can also change the category by clicking on either the Category header or the category itself.
History lets you view slightly more detailed history information, as well as delete the item from the history.
Search lets you view detailed results from NZBMatrix, and gives you a button to download to the server. This button, as well as the one from the context menu, will attempt to automatically sort downloads to their respective category.
I will add some pictures soon to help with the configuration. Sorry about that, Version 1.3 in ~ a week will make configuration and layout much easier.
Thanks again for the purchase
In the version currently in the app store, Newzbin is not available, although It was submitted 2 days ago so you should expect it soon.

Gotcha! Looks like i successfully added my Sab server. Thanks! Fantastic app so far!

Thanks I've just spent the last couple hours making the app use the pivot/appbar design, and I can't wait to release it It's much more intuitive and responsive, and the app seems more fluid in general.

Check out a preview of Sab Watch 1.3 here: youtube.com/watch?v=VYJpHDeQCyo

New version looks great! Do you know if Sab Watch will work with https, I tried it real quick on my machine and it didn't appear to work. Could easily be a problem on my end though.

Thanks !
It doesnt support https yet, but only because I have hard-coded it to use http. Ill try to add it into 1.3 however. NZBMatrix is already using https.

Sab Watch 1.2 Is now in the marketplace!

Sab Watch 1.3 has been submitted to the marketplace. There was a weird goof/bug/something that happened in the 1.2 submission that renamed the app to 'sab watch (app)'.
I have been talking to support, and they advised me that it would be fixed if I submit a new app with the 'Sab Watch' name. If it doesn't fix it, ill just submit the app updates to each
Anyway, since 1.3 is considered a 'new' application, it goes through a more strenuous testing than if it was an update; therefore it might take a couple more days. Expect it by 12/9.
VERSION 1.3
NEW FEATURES
Entire App switched to Pivot/AppBar design. Makes performance on the main page better as it isn't always trying to display every list at once.
Added ability to set Pause Timer for SabNZBd server.
'Status' page renamed to extra. Still not quite sure what to do with it yet, as seems like less important information than anything else. Would appreciate suggestions.
Removed config page. This has been replaced by options on the Application Bar.
You may now set a custom amount of items to display for the Queue, History, and Newzbin Results. This will persist throughout application launches.
You may now set a custom refresh rate for the application. This will persist throughout application launches.
When entering the list of servers with no servers defined, you will now get prompted on how to begin adding your first server.
Clicking on a Warnings on the Detailed Server Information page shows the actual warnings received.
Trying to change the NZBMatrix category should be a little easier to bring up the category selector list. In addition, the selector list should load a little faster.
Added Turnstile transitions to pages.
You can now pick from a list of times to pause the server if you wish. This will make it much easier in most situations. Selectable times are 0 (off), 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 3 hours. You can still enter a number instead if you wish.
BUGFIXES
Certain Help dialogs contained outdated information from old versions, this is corrected and updated now.
Fixed numerous misspellings of the word occurred.
Fixed a bug where if the user left out their port on the server setup page, the port would be changed to 80, and then tell the user 80 is not a valid number.
Fixed some text placement inconsistencies on the Newzbin detailed post page.
Sab Watch now properly urlencodes search queries. I haven't observed any changes in search results, but YMMV.
Category on queue page should now stay at the line below the rest. This should prevent the 'jumpy' behavior you might have experienced, where as soon as it could fit on the previous line, it moved.
Made error messages that show when you attempt to use NZBMatrix or Newzbin without entering login information actually state that there is no information saved.
NOTES
Newzbin only supports 500 results returned. Any number higher than 500 will still return, at max, 500.
Setting the amount of items to display higher not only causes the application to lag while displaying them, but also uses considerably more data downloading the results, and CPU time to format the results. Keep the display amount reasonable to see good performance.

Here's an look at the upcoming Sab Watch 1.4, Which will feature RSS feeds of NZBMatrix, and possibly Newzbin. You can browse the categories in the same way as you can when select a search category.
Edited 12/5:
NZBMatrix feeds have been completed.

I bought it, thanks for your work so far.

Thanks Goatmaster. I sent you a pm about HTTPS; but the problem is basically this:
Windows Phone 7 requires a valid certificate to use https, which means that:
1. You must have a valid certificate on your server.
or
2. You must jump through quite a few hoops to copy a your invalid certificate to special file format, email it, and open the email in IE, verify it, etc.
I don't mind adding it, its not much work, but just getting your opinion on if you'd do step (2). I asked some of the SabNZBd developers what they thought and they told me probably no one has a valid certificate.
Microsoft said:
If I understand correctly you want to communicate with a Web Service that is running on your own computer using SSL over HTTP (HTTPS). If the certificate of the Certificate Authority (CA) that signed the SSL certificate used by the server hosting your Web Service is not in the certificate store of your Windows Phone 7 device you could do the following:
Export the CA certificate to a Base64-encoded or DER-encoded X.509 .CER file.
Send the .CER file as an email attachment to yourself or put it on a Web server so that you can open and install it from the email application or Internet Explorer Mobile on the device .
If there are any intermediate certificates used do the same for those since a .CER file can only install one certificate.

Edit: Sab Watch 1.3 is going to be skipped, and 1.4 was sent to the marketplace last night.

This may be a dumb question but would this allow me to start downloads from my phone? I use newsbin currently and I am sure I can figure out sabNzb if it would allow me to search and add things to my download queue. Or is this app just to watch and make priority changes to your queue?

Yep, you can download things onto your sabnzbd server from within the app.
You setup the server to have your NZBMatrix/Newzbin credentials, and then this app have your credentials too.
It works like this: You search for new content on Newzbin/NZBMatrix, or browse feeds in the new version (comes out today!).
Once you find what you need, you click download in the app, which 'sends' the link to sabnzbd, and it begins the download.
There's a video on youtube in the first page which shows how you'd use the app. It's the closest version to the version that should be out today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJpHDeQCyo

ok that is awesome, looks like I may be buying this asap becuse this takes care of my remote issues the only time I remote into my pc from the phone is to queue stuff on Newzbin

Cool! I just got the "Approved Marketplace Submission" email a couple hours ago, should the new version should be in there today or at latest tomorrow.
Right now there is a version which works for newzbin currently in the marketplace however. There was a goof with the name so it's called
sab watch (app) in the marketplace, but the new version should fix it.

Cool got it working and it kicks ass thanks for saving me money and being really awesome and updating this thread to answer my questions, also works great with dyndns!!

[APP] PRadio - Pandora for Windows 8

PRadio is a Windows 8 Store App for Pandora. Unlike IE, this app allows users to stream music from Pandora recommendation service in the background. It works great on tablets such as Microsoft Surface. This app works only in the US. If you want to use it in other countries you need a US based proxy or VPN software such as openvpn.net

The app is only available in the US Store, if you are in another country you can switch to the US Store by going to "Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\ Change region."
[Update 12/14/2012]:
If you want to try out the latest version that will be available shortly on the store you will need to sideload the app. This version supports background music streaming on Surface RT even when the device is locked (Connected Standby).
Please follow the instructions given below:
1. Download Pandora_0.0.4.8_AnyCPU_Test and unzip to any folder e.g. xyz.
2. Open powershell as an administrator
3. Execute the following commands in powershell
a) set-executionpolicy unrestricted
b) cd xyz\Pandora_0.0.4.8_AnyCPU_Test
c) .\Add-AppDevPackage.ps1
[Note: Installation process might ask you to login to your Microsoft Account which is necessary to get the necessary certificates from the windows store to sign the package]
If you have feedback on the app, please post below.
What is Pandora?
Pandora Internet Radio, an automated music recommendation service and "custodian" of the Music Genome Project whose service in full is only available in the United States, with limited access in Australia and New Zealand. The service plays musical selections similar to song suggestions entered by a user. The user provides positive or negative feedback for songs chosen by the service, which are taken into account for future selections.

Wow, very nicely implemented for a third-party client! The snapped interface is very good as well. The interface when something *else* is snapped (which means it only has about 1040 pixels of width on the Surface) isn't perfect though (usable, but some stuff gets covered).
I'd be happy to sideload and test a new version.
EDIT: A bit more feedback: the app doesn't handle being backgrounded very gracefully. It will stop playing after the current song. I suppose that *could* be intentional, but it's annoying.

Thanks for the feedback, I just posted instructions to sideload the new version.
It should not stop playing after the current song, this is not intentional. Can you send me the following PRadioInformation.log file which should be present in
%appdata%\..\Local\Packages\28268splashtetra.PRadio_80qntxqrmk3vj\LocalState folder

Sorry, I should correct myself: it won't start the next song if the screen is off. Turning the screen on by itself won't start playing agian, either; you either have to use the media control and hit Play, or log in and have the app at least partially in the foreground.
If you still need the log I'll post it here in a bit.

Are you using a Surface RT or an ARM based tablet? If yes, I believe it is going into connected standby. In connected standby, windows does not let the app get the next playlist. I need to use a different set of API to support this scenario. As soon as I get hold of an ARM tablet I will add support for this. If this is not an ARM based tablet then please send me the logs.

Hi GoodDayToDie or any Surface RT user,
I have created a new version 0.3.3 of the PRadio which hopefully should work in your machine. Can you give it a try? I do not own one yet so I cannot try it myself.
Instructions are given below.
Thanks
Instructions:
1. Download Pandora_0.0.3.3_AnyCPU_Test and unzip to any folder e.g. xyz.
2. Open powershell as an administrator
3. Execute the following commands in powershell
a) set-executionpolicy unrestricted
b) cd xyz\Pandora_0.0.3.3_AnyCPU_Test
c) .\Add-AppDevPackage.ps1
[Note: It might ask you to login to your Microsoft Account that is necessary to get the necessary certificates to sign the package]

Thanks! Yes, I'm using Surface RT. I'm sideloading your app now and will report later.
EDIT: Works fine! I had to uninstall the current (store) version first, but it preserved my configuration (you using the roaming AppData?) so that was no problem.
The music playback did cut out eventually, but I'm guessing that's intentional (just the "are you still there?" check, perhaps) since it was after an hour or so of inactivity, and as soon as I brought he app forward again it resumed. I'm on a free account, BTW (used to subscribe, but between them not creating a WP7 app and the advantages of Zune Pass instead, I let it lapse).
One piece of feedback: you could put a lot more info on the About page. Version would be good, for example, and I didn't actually see attribution for the CC-licensed artwork, just a mention that it was CC-BY. Other than that, love it!

Seems to be working all nice and proper for me now too, on RT.
Eats far less CPU than letting IE run in desktop mode.
Edit: Every once in a while there seems to be a delay for it loading the next song of 30-45 seconds. Not critical, just noting.
Edit2: More feedback.
1) I can't forward to the next song from the volume menu.
2) It seems to stop playing after an hour and a half or so, on a Pandora One account.
3) It'd be nice if it could remember the last station and start playing on launch
4) Related, it'd be nice if it automatically logged in on launch, not sending you to the login screen. Perhaps a settings option to clear the stored user settings, and make it log in automatically?
5) I suspect this is more of an OS issue, but outputting through a USB sound card and putting the device to sleep causes the audio to become garbled and broken.
6) The formatting seems to be a bit off in portrait mode, the 'Log Out' button on the top clips over the station name, and there's a considerable amount of deadspace at the bottom of the screen (probably a good 1/3 of the screen is wasted)
And, are the advertisements on it yours or Pandora's? If they're Pandora's, it'd be nice if you could detect if it's a Pandora One account.

does this work for cdn. IP addresses? regular pandora won't let cdn IP users
i know on android, you have to use ORBIT something app, forgot the name, and on iphone you use that hot shield free VPN

Thanks for the feedback GoodDayToDie & netham45.

>> I know why it fails to play after an hour....Connected Standby, I will fix this in the next release.
>> you could put a lot more info on the About page. Version would be good, for example, and I didn't actually see attribution for the CC-licensed artwork, just a mention that it was CC-BY
I will add version in About page. Currently if you run the app and in taskmanager search pandora.exe, right-click and go to properties you can see the version. I will add attribution too. Good catch!!
>> I can't forward to the next song from the volume menu.
Forwarding is currently disabled as Pandora does limit the number of skips after some time. If a users keeps on skipping he/she will eventually hit this limit and there is no UI to message this to the user. This also prevented my app to be certified in the store so i decided to disable it for now till i figure out a better way to deal with this.

Good feedback, I will add in the next release.
Related, it'd be nice if it automatically logged in on launch, not sending you to the login screen. Perhaps a settings option to clear the stored user settings, and make it log in automatically?
Currently it should automatically login based on the credentials stored on the machine. Do you want a way to clear the settings?
I suspect this is more of an OS issue, but outputting through a USB sound card and putting the device to sleep causes the audio to become garbled and broken
Interesting....Thanks for reporting it. I would need to get hold of a USB sound card to try this out. Was this on the RT device?
The formatting seems to be a bit off in portrait mode, the 'Log Out' button on the top clips over the station name, and there's a considerable amount of deadspace at the bottom of the screen (probably a good 1/3 of the screen is wasted)
Thanks Log Out button should not have appeared. Will fix it and i will try to make better use of the real estate.
And, are the advertisements on it yours or Pandora's? If they're Pandora's, it'd be nice if you could detect if it's a Pandora One account.
The advertisements are mine...Not Pandora's maybe i can reduce the number of advertisements if that is a big eye sore. Thanks again for the feedback.

If you use any VPN software to connect to US based server (I tried openvpn.net although has a data limit) you should be able to use the app to listen to pandora via the app. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Wave is by far the best phone in terms of its sleek design and the anodised aluminium body, along with its superb hardware. At the time it was launched, people were awed by it and it made people wonder why samsung had not loaded it with android. Well, the answer is here atlast - so that they could abandon our beloved wave and move on to more crappy OS development. heheh!!!
Anyways, just because 'sammy boy' left us does not mean we can't enjoy our wave. Out on the internet, there are so many fantastic java apps that they are somewhat far better than even the bada apps.
So, with that in mind, I humbly present to you - "The Wave Paradise". A thread, where you will find all you need to enjoy your wave for the time you move on to a better smartphone, that is actually smart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
1] All the following apps have been tested throughly by Me and works brilliantly. Also, the tip regarding the permission pop-up removal is totally safe and does not cause any damage to your system file. Should you need to have the permission popup to return back, just uninstall the app and install it again. It will then again ask permission from you.
2] The following apps works flawlessly with all devices with bada 2.0. 8)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Java apps when installed ask for permissions each time they are made to access the network or the phone memory. This is irritating.
And so, to get rid of this, there are two methods. Both of them are given below:
METHOD 1: {Used for bada 1.X}
1)Open sTune. [If you don't have it, download it from the attachment]
2)Once it starts, click auto-connect, then go to browser.
3)When in the browser mode, go to " AppEx > User > Java > Games ". Here, you will find all your installed java apps.
4)Double-click your desired app, then click "appdb" and then right click the "settings.bin" file and select delete.
5)Then, open your java app and you will see no more permissions pop-ups.
METHOD 2: {Used for bada 2.X and all custom firmwares}
1)Install the app on memory card.
2)Connect the phone in "Mass Storage Mode". [ For this - Go to Settings>Connectivity>USB Utilities>Mass Storage. ]
3)Select the memory card when connected in mass storage.
4)Then, go to Others> [email protected]@[email protected]@__ > Games.
5)In here, you will find a folder with the name of your app.
6)Select the app folder you want to get rid of the pop-ups.
7)Then go to "appdb" folder and delete the "settings.bin" file.
8)And Voila!! No more annoying permission pop-ups.
9)Also, if you want, you can move the app to the phone memory if you like by disconnecting the "Mass Storage Mode" and then going to the "Java" on the phone and move it manually.

1)Auto-Rotate
Now apps rotate between "Landscape" and "Portait" modes automatically. Use the apps in any orientation you like.
( Note that some of the apps in this thread have either "Landscape" or "Portrait" mode. That is for stability reasons. Almost all have autorotate. Those that don't are mentioned in that post itself.)
2) HD Icons
Unleash the full power of the "Super Amoled Screen"!!
3)Fullscreen
After all size does matter. Use the full screen of the wave.
4)Virtual Keypad Off
Adios ugly "Virtual Keypad"!! hehe!!
5)Background Working
Want to have multiple java apps running simultaneously? Well, now you can. Run upto 3 apps simultaneously and they will not pause in the background. Neat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Since, these Apps are tested by Me, you wont have any problems with them. But, if any problem arises with any of the apps in this thread, it will be sorted out by Me. For that, I will need :
1) A precise statement of your problem.
2) ScreenShots depicting that problem.
NOTE: Before Installing any App from this collection, make sure you delete any previous versions of that App. This is very important.

Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 14327
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsex...indows-10-mobile-insider-preview-build-14327/
Here’s what’s fixed for Mobile
We fixed the issue causing Language and Speech packs to fail to download.
We fixed the issue where in some cases your phone’s screen may not turn on and become unresponsive and Windows Hello stops working if you used the power button to lock/unlock your phone quickly.
We fixed the issue where in some cases, users might get in a state where neither space or enter are working on the keyboard.
We fixed the issue causing Facebook Messenger and other apps like WeChat, Transfer My Data, and UC Browser from failing to launch from Start or All apps.
We fixed an issue where diverse emoji couldn’t be deleted from the text box in an interactive notification.
We have updated the autocorrection logic so that if you have a word that’s about to be autocorrected, tapping the word you just typed will now stop the autocorrection from happening.
We have updated the Glance screen so it will now reflect Ease of Access text scaling.
We fixed an issue where tethering over Bluetooth wouldn’t work if Bluetooth had never been turned on before.
We fixed an issue where you couldn’t set a sample image as a lock screen background.
Known issues for Mobile
UPDATE: We are investigating issues with downloading Language and Speech packs being reported by Windows Insiders.
Feedback Hub is not localized and the UI will be in English (U.S.) only even with language packs installed.
We’re investigating a crash with the Camera app when going into your camera roll.
There is an issue in which you may see duplicate apps under All apps showing as pending despite being installed and usable on your phone. You may also see some apps stuck in the Store. To get out of this state, just start and pause a download in the Store and then choose to “resume all” downloads.
You may see square boxes in certain apps when using some of the new emoji – we’re still getting support for the new emoji added throughout the systems, this will be resolved in a future build.
There is a bug we’re investigating that prevents some apps such as Tweetium from launching.
We’re investigating issues which cause mobile data to stop working but show as connected.
Glance on/off setting is not respected after updating to a new build. After updating, you can reset this setting to what you had before.

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14332
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsex...ncing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-14332/
Here’s what’s fixed for Mobile
We’ve made improvements to the share UI for Cortana Reminders. The experience is much more polished now.
We fixed an issue where a press and hold on the Camera Quick Action in Action Center wouldn’t do anything. Now it will launch the Camera app.
We fixed an issue resulting in the Lumia 435, 532, 535 and 540 being unable to take photos with the Camera app.
We fixed an issue where typed text would be invisible in Cortana when the OS was set to light mode under Settings > Personalization > Colors.
We fixed an issue with the Italian keyboard where certain words would get auto-capitalized after a comma (acting as it would if it was a period instead).
Improved the performance of opening Settings > Update & security > For developers.
We fixed an issue where Cyrillic characters would be lowercase in list headers (for example, in the All apps list).
We fixed an issue where pulling your headphones out to answer a call would result in the music playing out loud once the call had ended.
For phones that support adjusting the brightness automatically, this setting will now be enabled by default after a restore or hard reset.
You can now set the time for how long it should be for Windows to require you to sign in again via Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options with Windows Hello set up.
We fixed an issue that blocked you from renaming your device.
We fixed an issue where the Lock screen quick status numbers might appear drawn under the navigation bar.

Known issues for Mobile
Speech Packs are unable to be downloaded. However, Language Packs for keyboards should download without any issues. We have identified the issue and working to get a fix out as soon as possible.
Feedback Hub is not localized and the UI will be in English (U.S.) only even with language packs installed.
When you navigate to your camera roll directly from the Camera app, it may crash. To view the photos taken with the Camera app, go directly to the Photos app instead to avoid the crash.
You may receive 0x8004C029 errors when attempting to play Groove Music Pass (DRM) content in Groove Music.
You may encounter “Can’t Play – Another app is controlling your sound right now. 0xc00d4e85” errors when attempting to play Groove Music Pass (DRM) content in Groove Music.
UPDATED: If you have previously played DRM-protected content from services like Groove Music, Movies & TV, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or Hulu, after updating to this build you might no longer be able to playback content from those services – you will instead receive error DRM_E_INVALID_SECURESTORE_PASSWORD(0x8004C029) or DRM_E_DOMAIN_STORE_GET_DATA(0x8004C503). We are working to have this fixed in the near future.
You may see square boxes in certain apps when using some of the new emoji – we’re still getting support for the new emoji added throughout the systems, this will be resolved in a future build.
There is a bug we’re investigating that prevents some apps such as Tweetium from launching.
Your phone will lock up and reboot when it receives a notification from an app that has “Keep notifications private on the lock screen” turned on under Settings > System > Notifications & actions. This is particularly painful if you have this turned on for the Messaging app and could result in the loss of text messages. If you have this turned on for specific apps – it is recommended you turn it off until we fix this issue.
The Settings app may crash when you are re-arranging Quick Actions under Settings > System > Notification & actions. If it does, it could result in one of the Quick Action spots disappearing. If you see this happen, please refrain from changing your Quick Action settings on this build. If you have been impacted by this issue, only a hard reset will revert your Quick Action settings back to default.
UPDATE 4/27: For users with some non-English keyboards, when typing into the address bar of the Edge browser, you will not be able to enter the following letters: w, y, a. The workaround is to type the letters using uppercase.

Installed two TH2 build in last two days, today's 586.312...only performance
Source

dont see any unusual stuff. first "bug" with no icon of the startscreen -> present here too on the .242 (and think was on any other build too). and the language stuff -> ms just didnt make them available (yet) for the .312. also nothing unusual, happens once in a while. should change when its released to all insiders (or officially)

will the 312 be released at next patchday next week?

most likely yes, if no errors occur. if they do it like in march -> insider release preview ring will get it later this week (so today or tomorrow) and official rollout on tuesday for everyone. for the april update they havent done that and just released it officially on patchday without insiders getting it first

Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 14342
Here’s what’s new in Build 14342
Swipe navigation in Microsoft Edge: Since the release of Windows 10 Mobile, our top feedback request for Microsoft Edge has been asking for the return of the swipe gesture to navigate back and forward. With this build, you can now swipe from anywhere on the page to get back to your previous page.
Apps for websites: As we discussed at Build 2016, you will soon be able to redirect certain websites to open with an app instead. This is a new capability so apps that support this are still in progress. In preparation for their availability we have added a new page at Settings > System > Apps for websites where you will be able to manage them. Stay tuned for more on this.
Feedback Hub improvements: We’ve heard from you that it can sometimes be hard to find which category your feedback belongs in. Now when you create new feedback, the Feedback Hub will suggest categories and subcategories based on the title and description you entered. If you see a suggestion that looks right, just click it to fill in the menus and get your feedback to the right engineers quickly.
Here’s what’s fixed for Mobile
We fixed an issue causing installation of mobile builds to fail with Error 80070002.
Language and Speech Packs should download without any errors.
We have fixed the issue causing DRM-protected content from services like Groove Music, Microsoft Movies & TV, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or Hulu to fail on playback with 0x8004C029 or 0x8004C503 errors.
We fixed the issue where some users with some non-English keyboards were not able to enter letters such as w, y, and a when typing into the address bar of the Edge browser.
We fixed the issue causing your phone to lock up and reboot when it receives a notification from an app that has “Keep notifications private on the lock screen” turned on under Settings > System > Notifications & actions.
We increased font size and improved spacing of the data migration page after receiving an update.
Polished icons used to identify pages in the Settings app – in particular, updated battery icon to be more consistent with the weight of the other icons.
Improved performance when retrieving updated GPS coordinates while driving.
Goodbye message on shutdown will now remain visible until the last moment, to make it easier to determine when your device is off.
Polished the look of media controls on the Lock screen. When you press one of the media control buttons, it appears “pressed”.
We fixed an issue where some apps, including Tweetium, would crash on launch.
We fixed an issue where Action Center’s context menus would appear in the wrong orientation if the app underneath was in landscape mode.
We fixed an issue where Lumia 435, 532, 535 and 540 would fail to record video, as well as an issue where advanced camera settings were not preserved when taking a photo with the Lumia 435, resulting in the photo being taken with default settings instead.
Fixed an issue where the same device might be listed multiple times under Connect.
Fixed an issue where quickly pressing the power button twice when Windows Hello is enabled could result in the display appearing stuck off.
We fixed the issue where Groove Music might show an error saying “Can’t play – Another app is controlling your sound right now”.
When delayed lock is setup, Windows Hello will now say “Swipe up to dismiss the lock screen”, rather than looking for your iris.
We fixed an issue where Glance wouldn’t be displayed when hovering hand over proximity sensor.
We fixed an issue where multiple UWPs might start crashing on launch after getting stuck on their splash screen.
Known issues for Mobile
UPDATE: After your device reboots from installing this update, if it gets stuck as the Windows logo – let it sit and be patient. It might appear frozen but its still working in the background. While you wait, it is recommended you plug your phone in and let it charge as well. For more details – see this forum post.
We are investigating data issues with some Dual-SIM devices where cellular data doesn’t work correctly with a second SIM. Several issues relating to cellular data with Dual-SIM devices have been reported by Insiders with the last two Mobile builds and we’re investigating these reports.
Feedback Hub is not localized and the UI will be in English (U.S.) only, even with language packs installed.
We have reduced the number of instances where boxes are seen when entering emoji. You may still see them in some text fields – we’re working on it!
The Settings app may crash when you are re-arranging Quick Actions under Settings > System > Notification & actions. If it does, it could result in one of the Quick Action spots disappearing. If you see this happen, please refrain from changing your Quick Action settings on this build. If you have been impacted by this issue, only a hard reset will revert your Quick Action settings back to default.

[Release][APP][0.9.3 - 2019.07.12] GAssist.net - Google Assistant for Galaxy Watch

App is already available on Samsung Store.
Thank you for all DONATIONS and support !!!!
Introduction
I've been looking at this topic and I saw that unfortunately the project died... so as I am a java developer and I am very tired with all the unresponsible/crashing apps on Galaxy Store. I decided to try myself at C#/.Net to write my own Google Assistant companion for Galaxy Watch. I hate Bixby as much most of the community.
So here is my approach to the Google Assistant companion app for Tizen Watches.

FAQ
Q: Will this application be available on other watches than Galaxy Watch?
A: Yes, this application should work on any Samsung watch with Tizen 4.0+ and microphone/speaker.
Q: Will this be a paid app?
A: Yes, but the price shouldn't be more than 2USD. I will consider making it 2 variants Free and Premium.
The app will be free.
Q:Will non speaker watches be supported ?
A: Yes, when I develop the text output.
Q:Can this app do xxxx?
A: The app can talk to Google Assistant SDK Service. I'm not answering for any Google Assistant SDK / Service features related questions. This doesn't depend on me, my app is only a bridge to Google Service. Please ask Google what the Assistant Service is capable of, and why not all features are available. Send query to their support, post on their forums etc.

How to get the logs
You have to have Tizen studio installed. Watch has to be in debug mode.
Immediately after crash / bug connect watch via wifi.
Open Tizen SDK Device Manager.
Wait a while until it reads the logs.
Export logs:
Zip them and attach to post reporting bug.
THANKS!

Cool

Sounds like a plan! Cheers

Great idea. I'm pretty sure lots of people want/need this! I'm using a similar type of app for Alexa. It is very, very handy to have.

I've been looking at this Alexa app, and it's very bad... My app even at pre-alpha stage is way more advanced
Doesn't record fixed voice length but recording time is based on voice recognition (recognized text is not changing = stop recording) the same as it works on the original assistant this way it can recognize variable length commands - you can say something short, or veeeeeeryyyy long, as long as you like and it will always know when to stop and send reply.
Also my app is way more responsive - the Alexa app feels very unresponsive to me.

You are right with most of your observations! The thing is, I live in the Alexa world for my lighting system and more & have no other choice. It works for what I need even if not perfect. I use GA on my Note 9 because Bixby is pretty much pathetic.
Maybe after you perfect your GA app for the watch, you can start on an Alexa app. Competition and choices are what makes apps great! I'd be a beta tester for that one and/or even pay $10 - $20 to get your Alexa app. I'm no dev but do understand how many thousands of lines of code can go into apps. Good luck!

Great idea, Google assistant is the only thing that lets the galaxy watch down. Ive been praying for 2 years Samsung would sort Bixby out, its voice recognition is terrible and has so many limitations. Count me in for any testing you need

Happy to be a Beta tester.. I'm a Quality Assurance manager (system tester) for a huge Government organisation.. Happy to help get this project on it's feet mate

This is awesome! Curious where it is going!

Hello. I am Tizen 4.0.0.2 user from Turkey.
I am an English Language Teacher.
I use Samsung Gear Sport.
I can gladly be your beta tester.

I am Android Developer and QA Engineer here in the states. Would love to beta test for you if needed! If not great work man! Looks really promising

Add me to the test. I have a galaxy watch, many google home devices. And a lot of wifi outlets, wifi switches, wifi garage door openers, thermostats, much more.

Guys,
Whoever wants to participate in beta tests, please send me on priv message the following details:
Watch Model:
Tizen Version:
Phone Model:
Android Version:
I will contact with chosen persons.
For first alpha testing I would need the most experienced ppl with android, a little bit technical knowledge would be cool.
What I would need from you is to send me logs from device (I will tell you exacly how), also I would need to make screenshots from Android and pictures of the app whenever crash / debug message appears and detailed description under what circumstances the error/debug msg appeared.
For example:
"I was saying "Hello google, where is the nearest supermarket" and the app crashed, the listen button was greyed out, was on WiFi + screen from android app + picture of the watch face with error message etc. + watch logs.
Please participate only if you can meet this requirements.
Thanks,

Edit: Saw your post. Will you a pm.

Would you be able to change language on the GA? Cause my biggest complain about Bixby is that it doesn't understand my language (danish) while Google assistant does.
Thanks for your work and thanks in advance!

Yes, it already works in other languages - for example I use it in Polish

Excellent work mate! pm sent.

Looks great. I would be up for beta testing this.

cool! does it work only when connected to the phone or it is a standalone app?

Some Input for implementation
best way is to use it without mobile:
Some Input from very intressant application:
https://voiceinacan.com -> an Alexa Client on the watch without need mobile
He has very usefull input to implement the solution

Two days full of work and I'm happy to inform that we're on version 0.0.2.
New demo vid: https://youtu.be/qtfn6-p5CQA
(edited video link cause of hotfix, now real time text displays correctly)
New features:
-real time voice recognition text display
-assistant response display
-ability to stop assistant talk with press "Listen" again
Technical changes:
-completely reworked internal logic(once again, I hope last time )
-use of new libraries
-changed buffering methods
-changed multithreading libraries
As for the question: this app will never be standalone on watch.
gRPC is the library used to talk with assistant webservice and this library is not available on Tizen, end of topic.
I won't write my own interface to talk with Google API.
