[Q] Ant+ support or not ? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the G3 support Ant+ ?
I'm having mixed results with my searches... I found a few review saying it does, automated "versus" sites says the S5 has Ant+ support but the G3 doesn't... I don't see Ant+ on LG's website and the G3 isn't in the Ant+ Product directory (http://www.thisisant.com/directory/filter/~/60/~/)
I've even seen someone somehwere say that any device that has Android 4.3 is Ant+ compatible, but i doubt that because im running 4.4 (CyanogenMod) on my current S3 and it doesn't have Ant+ ... but then, maybe this is just an AOSP license-quirk kinda deal...
I'm really interested in the G3 but i'd really like to be able to connect all my bike's devices to it (which i can't do on my S3). One of these devices is a powermeter and it's too expensive to replace for a Bluetooth one (and there aren't any Bluetooth compatible head-unit for the bike, that i'd like to use).
Right now, there are 3 phones that interest me, in this specific order : LG G3 > Sony Xperia Z2 > Galaxy S5 (fugly)
If the G3 does Ant+, its the one i'm getting! Please help me figure it out! hehe

I just checked though all of the system app files, and it's not there.

No it definitely does not support it. I just installed the Ant+ plugins and radio service and it says i need to have built in hardware or an external dongle to use it.

Looks like Ant+ Enabler (a $11 app that works on rooted phone) can enable it on the G3 now (when i looked previously, it didnt list the G3... )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus
It's too late now, as i have purchased an Xperia Z1, but this is really interesting... $11 to add Ant+ support to be able to connect your $800+ power-meter seems pretty cheap to me!
If i had known about that a few weeks ago! Oh well, i do enjoy my Xperia Z1 too so i guess it's all good.

Ah wow, that sucks. I guess if you cant get a refund, try to go the support route? I mean, at $11 it is cheap if it works but pretty expensive if it doesn't, hopefully the author would work with you to get it working.

The maker of Ant+ Enabler removed the G3 from his supported phone list... so i guess G3 owners are out of luck for now.
Exact text on the app page is :

Ya, I saw that. I was curious is the g3 has the capabilities, but it's justva matter of writing the code for it. It sucks this phone doesn't have ant+ supported already.

i just got this phone this weekend. really sucks to hear that its not capable. does anyone know if there is a dongle attachment available?

Anything new ? Is somebody here who has working G3 with this app ?

i second that, anybody have a working G3 with ANT+?

I think LG G3 should work with OTG cable and ANT USB stick using ANT USB Service "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.usbservice"

I update to Lollipop(checked system had AntHalSerice) and install ANT+ SERVICE and ANT+ PLUGINS. from Play store, ANT+ will be work , I used MIO LINK to checked is work fine.

Is this using the ANT+ Enabler app? Or are you saying the AntHalService is available stock after updating to Lollipop?

I was thinking the same thing...
I haven't really had time to check, but any dvb-t stick that's been around for some time where the Linux kernel supports it "natively" should do, right?

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.

Miracast with CM11?

I see the option for cast to screen for CM 11. Will this work for Miracast?
If so is this a good one to get?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HI763-W...899?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item259040a62b
I've never got cast to work properly with cm11 or any custom rom. Only stock. Using an android box with miracast receiver. Let us know if you have success. Oh mine was keedox android box think i picked it up less than 50 bucks.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
Oh so the cast doesn't work? I'd rather not waste 20 bucks if it's not going to work lol
Not saying it doesn't. Just my experience. Ive not tried a new cm11 build in awhile. Maybe others will chime in with positive outcomes.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
Just loaded aicp newest ROM. Cast worked fine. No reason cm11 wouldn't. My bad.
Well just worried I heard chromecast just added the option to mirror my friend gave me a chromecast and I've been using it. I updated the app to the newest software and no cast for the phone.

Actually this thread here makes chromecast mirroring work for any device (most devices) works fine with lg g pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Well I'm installing the newest nightly to see if that helps too. Right now it's crashing when trying to cast. At least it shows it now
Went ahead and bought the one listed in the original post. I won it for 18 bucks. Pick had to use 16 in ebay bucks in 3 days or lose them so only really had to pay like 2 bucks for it. Hopefully I"ll be able to mirror with this. I'm really surprised no one with CM 11 as bought a miracast doggle before.

Happy to report it does work! There's a little lag though sometimes. Wonder if the doggle needs a update.

Can you provide additional info on how this particular dongle worked for you? I have just gotten into Miracast, and am looking at dongles etc. I have looked at Netgear's Push2TV and Actiontec Screenbeam Pro. I was very skeptical about these smaller manufacturer dongle...so I would appreciate your input on this dongle you bought.
BTW, just remember that as far as Laptops/Computers go the computer HARDWARE must be Intel certified for Widi to work, even though Windows 8.1 has Miracast SOFTWARE. So for now I am stuck using only my phone/tablet natively.
Thanks for any feedback!

Well it worked if I was on the same wifi even though it didn't need the net to be on in order to work. Since the chrome cast option came out I didn't really worry about using the miraicast anymore but wanted to try it out. I'm sure it will work even better with a higher priced miricast doggle but ya again it works but for hotel wise I just went with my android doggle it always plays anything perfectly fine and it entertained all of my gf and Is roommates a ton.

I don't know if there is a FM RADIO CHIP or not. But I tried to install MOTOROLA FM RADIO OFFICIAL APP from Google Play from link below and says it's not compatible with this phone. Damn again!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.fmplayer&hl
Anyone solve this issue and could help us with some more information?
Thank you!
Weird, according to gsmarena it does have FM radio
m.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_z_play-8310.php
I'll take a look at my z play later tonight
The chip is there, the feature is disabled. Generally speaking, FM radio is disabled on premium phones. It's understood that carriers and manufacturers want customers to subsidize premium phones on big data plans, so the trend is for those phones to drop FM radio.
Rumor has it that it might be enabled via build.prop. I haven't found a reliable source confirming that it'd work.
As a workaround, I ordered a $2 USB FM radio on eBay, and will listen to radio through that as a separate device from my phone.

I heard of a method for doing this. I have also bricked a Moto phone in the past by editing the build.prop. I heard the way to do it in by grabbing it via ADB, editing it on the computer, then pushing it back via ADB. Going to try it once I set up the phone.

Unnoficial port

Is there any developer that tries to port android wear 2.0 to this smartwatch?
I Will be so Glad if somebody tries that...
I've had recently the chance to try the latest AW 2.0 beta on a LG Urbane 2nd Ed. LTE. From what I've observed there, Android Pay refuses to function if it detects a custom rom, or in general any rom which has not been digitally signed by Google. That makes, at least for me, any unofficial port of AW 2.0 to the SW3 moot.

Dont think its possible. AW is not open source and we still need drivers and stuff. Correct me if im wrong ( based on facts).

The Play Store would suffice, considering that I'm using an iPhone with it.
I think that is posible.
Developers did It with gear 2, that isnt wear.
If they can do It with gear 2, we can do It with sw3

Yes it's possible and yes I will try it. But I am sure SafetyNet things won't work as the ROM definitely won't pass CTS but that's only ****in Android Pay which doesn't work then
Sources are there (thanks AsteroidOS and protodevanov) and we can use the same steps like compile ROM for a phone as the SW3 is nothing else than a Device with an SoC like a phone have.
We maybe just need to extract some blobs from latest FW (1.5.2) and it could be theoretically possible that security patches are backstabbed to November or August but that's not a problem as December patch was more a SafetyNet patch than something else (so it's more a patch to **** you flashaholics).
But honestly who wants to hack your watch
So all in all its possible, maybe we can compile the Preview in time only but better than nothing
Your PDesire
sounds good that you'retrying to make a 2.0 rom for our watch!
according to the petition on change.org ( https://www.change.org/p/sony-android-wear-2-on-sony-smartwatch-3) there might be some people using your rom if you're really able to make one
Android pay in the watch won't work, but will if affect using NFC on the phone if that watch is connected to it?

Oh sorry guys was at work when I saw the reply and forgot to reply once I was home. I've since reset my watch so will have to set it up again as it's a workaround mainly dealing with Samsung pay on the watch by downgrading aswell as moving busy box to external SD card from xbin folder. I also hid Samsung services from magisk and hid magisk manager itself running v19.2 but think it worked without having to do that step for me. I can't use it as spay doesn't support my bank or credit cards yet but I'll try and get it working again and post back in the next 1-3 days.
