Sky Mobile Application for Win 6 users

Sky have finally pulled their finger out and written a dedicated windows 6.* application to allow people to use remote record (you need to register with sky for this)
Have tested it on my Touch HD running KWBR's vanilla rhodium 6.5 based rom and it all works fine

Yippie, at last!!!

hi, would you gently post the link to the page on sky's site containing this app? i'd need to have more info about it but i honestly cannot find it myself :\

Here is the link from the sky pages.
The link on the site (http://p.wecomm.com/sky) goes to all of the different versions that you can get and I just uploaded the Touch HD one for everyone yesterday.
Have confirmed it as all working fine yesterday and have successfully set remote record for 2 programs without any issue (as I had an existing username/password for remote record when i used to use the java app on my N95)
Spudgun

thank you mate... as i suspected it wont work for me though

What problem are you having?
Have you used remote record before and have it linked to your Sky+ system at home?
It not, there is a really good guide to this on digitalspy
Spudgun

Other than the popup keyboard when trying to sign in, I would say on initial looks this is pretty sweet! We've been waiting for a dedicated app for a long time and I for one am happy I no longer need to use the web browser to view the tv guide.
So far so good, +1 for the happy user list.

The keyboard is a bit crap isn't it and it kind of gets in the way when entering your username/password, but after that it isn't an issue at all.

Thanks for posting this - it's exactly what I've been waiting for too.
I've set a couple of things to Record, so now I need to check on my Sky+ Box at home to make sure it's all going through.
Thanks again.

This looks very handy but the app doesn't seem to close on mine when I try to exit.

I had that issue one time last night, and had to close it via the task manager. I'm willing to put up with that for the convenience that this app brings though!
Just got the Christmas Radio Times today, so i am sure i will be using this app loads over the festive period when I am away from home.

Yep, same for me but I can minimise it and close via task manager. All the recordings I set worked a treat and for me this is a definate keeper!
Thanks to the OP for the heads up!

Do you need your phone line plugged in to use this?
TIA
Joel

Yeah I have to do the same stuff to close the app - minor annoyance I guess.
What's more weird though is that I tried it yesterday before I'd registered the online userid etc and I was able to see the EPG. So far so good.
Now that I've registered an account and linked it to my actual Sky subscription etc, the EPG doesn't work.
I get the main menu, EG Entertainment/Documentaries/Kids/Movies etc but no matter which I select, the next screen is blank and no epg content is shown.
Any ideas?
Good question about the phone line thing too - would like to know that myself - could it be related to the above problem?

No you don't need the phoneline plugged in. I've never had the phoneline plugged in for my Sky+ and this app works just fine.
I may try out one of the java based versions later on though, to see if the exit bug is fixed on that one

The phone line on your Sky+ Box does not need to be plugged in for this to work.
I had the same problem with an empty EPG when I changed my Region to SouthEast (Sky+ Options within the App) - I set it back to London and it worked fine.

Thanks for the tip - changed to London again and sure enough the epg works again.
Can't record though still. I got an error saying my profile isn't allowed to record so I googled it and found it's because I'm not the 'primary' account holder (my wife is), so I tried it by activating it with her details and I still get the same error even though I'm logging in with her details and it accepts the login and has been confirmed as activated.
Grrr, and WTF?

I changed my entry to "London and South East" and it worked fine - I think it's a case of finding the right one for your area.
As for the Recording, so need to make sure your Sky+ Box has the Account Registered and that you have Registered for Remote Record.
It's all here : http://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/mysky/remoterecord

Not saving password
Hi,
I have got this app up and running and have entered my user id and password and am then able to access the epg and record programs.
However, if i exit the app and then restart it, it does not remember my password and I have to re-enter it - a bit of a pain to do this each time.
I did hit the Save button after entering the password.
Is anyone else having this problem.
Cheers.

Trying to use samsung push service to use the samsung app application

I just bought a Note 8. When I go to push service or Samsung Apps, it makes me select a country. When I select the country it will freeze for a few seconds, and then give me an error saying unfortunately samsung apps wont open. I reseted the tab 3 times. I exchanged it for another, and it still does it. Has anyone had this issue, or does anyone have a resolution. Please Help. Thanks!!

[Q] Can't take a note???

Hi, I am having problems trying to take notes or make a list using voice. I have Google keep for notes etc and enabled in the phone wear app. If I say hello google and ask a question it responds immediately with an answer from Wikipedia. If I say take a note it says speak now I say quick note and it spins for a bit then says " can't reach google at the moment". I have been testing this for days but cannot get it to work, as I say it works perfectly if I ask the temperature or ask a question it's just the note taking it comes back with unable to contact google. Can anybody help???? Grant.

Sorry mate....all works fine here....i guess the problem is on your phone side... Uninstall google keep and install it again....do you have any firewall on your phone? May be the keep just is not getting the internet juice....

Thanks for reply, I got it working by uninstalling the updates to the Google app on my phone, made sure it was not on auto update and bingo working perfectly. A bit odd but nevertheless it worked. Came across this tip on another forum. Cheers Grant.

I need some help.

Ok, my first thread and I have a questions and I would love to know if any other people have the same problem?
1. Permisisons.
Every time I restart my phone I have to do all the permissions for any app I have again before I can open them.
For example camera. Before it opens for the first time I get greeted by "Allow camera to access the device's location.
2. Locations.
In the past ( read on my m9) I would see what apps are using my location ( for example wechat). I dont have that with my 10 anymore? As a result I can not add people on wechat , even when they sit next to me, they can not see me in people nearby.
Does anybody else have these problems? I would not like to send my phone back to HTC Hong Kong as I live in mainland China.
Tnx in advance

i am not sure about the location.
when you give permission are you checking the box which it states don't ask? or tried to give permissions from settings apps and see if it asks again upon reboot.
if not try that

Hi san5324, how did this story end for you?
I have the same problem, like I wrote here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68554364&postcount=13
For me it's not every day that it occurs, just sometimes. But it's annoying nonetheless.
Hoping you found an answer...

Hey so sorry for the late reply, I just stopped restarting the phone but directly switching it off. Its annoying af. I still have locational problems with wechat where I can not send a friend request. No more htc for me.

Thanks for replying. My problems have been solved after not using sd as internal storage anymore.

Suspicious Activity - Huawei Mate 20 X

Hi,
I have noticed suspicious activity on my google account which shows the device is being used in somewhere in Europe. I changed my password and did a factory wipe on the phone but I still see same behavior on this device being simultaneously being used in Canada and Europe.
Has anyone noticed such behavior from the device and what's your advice on to fix/track the issue?
Thanks

No problems with mine but I do have two step verification enabled with google - not known if that makes any difference.

I also have the two step verification enabled and didn't get notified by google that my phone was being used in Europe as the same time it was being used in Canada.
I did change my google account passwords but still the same issue.

Post which retailers you got them from if you are having this issue. There may be a common theme ....

Have you spoken to them about this? They are *supposed* to be reputable.

Mine was also from Splendor, but I have checked my google connected devices and where they are connected from and have 2 step verification on. My phone is not mysteriously connected elsewhere. I would start looking at 3rd party apps that you guys might have installed.

wipe the phone mught not be enough, if somehow the seller unlocked, flashed it, and lock the bootloader, the only way to get it clean is doing the same thing: unlocking bootloader and flashing the factory image. that's what i would do, and that's what i always end up doing to root the phone
