Hey
So i updated my non carrier locked HD7 that had not been hacked nor touched in anyway using the disconnecting the internet method. Everything went according to plan and i now have Mango.
Although seem to be missing a few features, i knew HTC was meant to include attentive Phone in there built but it is no where to be seen also there is no music search in bing. When updating it said the update was for HTC so i think its the right one.
I assume the music search is a region thing as i live in Australia but im not sure about attentive phone. I just hope i do not have the AT&T build rather then a carrier unlocked one.
OS version 7.10.7720.68
Firmware Revision Number 2250.21.40502.401
Any help or advice would be great, perhaps a restore is needed ?
Update
Big vision does not seem to work for QR codes bar codes or looking at books it just comes up with could not find.
In settings - regions and language, change search language to USA. This will enable full Bing Vision. Result will be for US though.

In Australia, only QR codes and MS Tags work, as there is no local store information yet (ie, the whole point of scanning books/movies/barcordes).

Yes. Not straight away though. The Attentive Phone app had to update itself, along with a few others once it realised I was on Mango.

Yes, it took 6 hours before i got an update notification for attentive phone (amongst others) I guess it has something to do with how often the phone checks back with marketplace to look for updates
No voice guidance in UK!
Seeing as this is a missing features thread, where the flip is the voice guidance within Bing Maps for the UK?
The damned thing still doesn't play m4p podcasts properly, even when subscribing to them in Zune. When the files have embedded objects like links etc., they open in the video player which doesn't work in background or under locked screen.
I removed Attentive Phone from my phone and i cant put it back on in the market place and it does not appear in settings like it was eluded it would be.
I had the same issues. It was available through the HTC Hub though and I was able to download and install it.

No, I mean something that works better than a fast switch, and better than THIS fast switch. We have repeated instances of system applications, like 3 messagings, one setting and one WiFi (the wifi settings).
Also, you cant resume the instance when opening a toast notification. Which sucks. They expect that when you receive a toast from, I dont know, WhatsApp, you instead of opening the notification, you hold back button and switch to the App. Brilliant.
If not this flaw, the OS would be perfect for me.

uk 4.2.2
i read i'm not only one but i didn't find solution
So I got the N-5120 LTE version, running Android 4.1.2., a couple of weeks ago. I'm very pleased with this versatile tablet. I intended to use this with Skype Out. Making Skype to Skype calls works fine through a BT headset. However when using Skype Out, calls are initiated through the headset, but as soon as they start, they are then switched over to the phones earspeaker. The loudspeaker function is not available for Skype Out.
Both the BT and the Speaker Phone functions are turned on/off only through Samsung's sofware, it seems, and then only once the call has started.
I can tell I'm not the only one with this challenge. That said, since there are so few complaining about this here I'm wondering if there are fixes?

I did. This is apparently a common problem among Note users on the Skype forum, and according to them, this appeared with the latest version of Skype. What to do?
1. Uninstall Skype through the Play store, as usual.
2. In the Google Play store, click on the uppermost left hand side corner, choose my apps, and unclick auto updating. Otherwise Skype will auto update to the new version again... BTW you will henceforth have to update all your apps manually.
3. On your unit, go to Settings, Security (the padlock symbol) and allow unknown sources of programs, outside of the Play store
4. Go here http://skype.en.uptodown.com/android/download/44494 and install the older version: Skype 3.2.06673
5. Go back to the Security, and deselect unknown sources if you want to lock down your device again.
This enabled me to make Skype Out calls with both headset and speakers. It's not entirely fool proof, as sometimes it starts on the speakers before handing over to the headset, but at least it works.

Let us know how it went. BTW, please go to Skype and assist in filing an Android Issue on
http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/How-to-create-a-good-Android-issue-report/td-p/211384
So v. 3.2.0.6673 was probably a blessing in disguise. Skype on Android via the loudspeaker or BT continues erratic behavior, although it's better than v. 4.5.. from that sspect I discovered on here that a bug in v 3.2.0.6673 allows an attacker to bypass the lock screen on your Android device.*

Hi everybody,
i just bought a smartwatch 3 and i just don't get how to activate the wifi, i searched everywhere but no information.. even to activate or desactivate nfc to save battery but i cant find th options..
if anybody can help...
thank you
WiFi is not enabled until Google releases a version of Android Wear that supports it.
The same for NFC, it's active but only limited functionality available right now.

This is great news to hear! Can I ask for the source?
SOURCES
You see here WiFi Ready:
Play Store https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=sony_smartwatch_3_black
Sony Developers Product White Paper: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/SmartWatch3_SWR50_WP_1.pdf
Verizon, Technical Specs http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/sony-smartwatch-3/ also in "FEATURES" it states "Wi-Fi ready (these features to be activated after launch, timing to be announced per Google)"
...And I posted official test documents in this forum proving it has WiFi
and the wait is almost over!!!
Been a long time in the making but finally:
Wi-Fi support
With GPS and offline music support, you can already leave your phone at home, then go jogging and jamming like normal. Now Android Wear supports watches with built-in Wi-Fi. As long as your watch is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and your phone has a data connection (wherever it is), you’ll be able to get notifications, send messages, and use all your favorite apps. And if you really do forget your phone, you can always ask your watch where it is.

Is the wifi feature properly working? How will I know if the wifi feature is working? does this mean i can turn off bluetooth on my phone and have the smart watch still work?
The latest update to the Wear app now includes the Wi-fi functionality however, I could not get it to work. Has anybody else had any better luck
You still need to receive the Smartwatch upgrade (watch itself)
It should be out in the next couple of days or weeks. Just keep checking the Sony companion app.
Is there a Sony companion app for the SW3? I normally just check under settings on the watch itself.

I didn't know there was any NFC functionality yet. What is currently usable for NFC?
I think the only thing NFC on the watch can do is open the app on your phone. Apart from that it's useless.
You can use NFC to pair headphones with your watch, I pair my sbh-80 headphones this way

Thanks. I just found on another thread that it also starts up the watch when it's off. I tested it and that works and is pretty cool that NFC works when the watch is off, though I have doubts there will be many possibilities of using NFC with the watch off.
NFC can be somewhat powered by the reading device, so I thought I'd give this a try to see if it was enough to wake the watch up and power on. I turned my watch off, and tapped it to the NFC location on my phone. The phone launched the Android Wear companion app. The watch and phone both vibrated, and the "Sony" logo appeared on the watch then disappeared without ever finishing booting. I tried leaving it on the phone, and it buzzed a few times trying to start.

ROB .. thats not true .. its not useless .. when implimented , it will be usable for bus fair, as credit card and lots of other features in the future.
Got the watch to replace my LG watch sport. Love wear os, hate all hardware it comes in. I honestly don't really like tizen but I literally cannot find any other watch that will last more than 10 hours and has Lte, so galaxy watch it is.
One of the biggest problems so far is streaming. I don't get it. Wear os has all sorts of options for this, google play music, pandora, last fm... I was doing great with pandora premium and youtube premium (with google play music included). But now that im on the galaxy watch they're doesn't seem to be a way to stream without the phone nearby. No pandora app at all, obviously no Google play music app since Google is a bratty teenager these days, the only 2 things that seem to be available are tidal (lol not on a million years) and spotify.
So I download the spotify app for the watch... Wait no I didn't, it doesn't exist on the store despite multiple advertisements I watched making a point of it. Looking into the forums turns out Samsung has since hidden the spotify app god knows why. So after a few days of complaining online I find a direct link to the galaxy store spotify page. Great! Now I installed it. And open it up... Can't connect to phone, please open spotify app on phone... It says this as I'm staring at my phone automatically open spotify... Ok, close the watch app, open it again now that the app is already open on the phone. Can't connect to phone please open the spotify app... Weird, manage to dismiss the warning. I'm presented with 3 options, steam on wifi, stream on lte, and remote. Knowing the first two require spotify premium I try the last option. Nothing, literally nothing, it's like the button isn't even there, no haptic feedback, no warnings, nothing.
Ok, remote isn't why I wanted a watch anyway, my end goal is to run with JUST my watch. So since I'm financially well enough I decide to get premium to use the other options. So I upgraded to premium spotify, made sure it was premium on the phone by playing specific songs, and im good to go right? Wrong! Even though I reinstalled the watch spotify app, remote doesn't change its behavior. So I try wifi, it asks for user and password. I painfully enter it with the flip phone style keyboard aaaaand? Failed to log in, try multiple times very carefully to no avail. Same story on lte button. At this point I'm so mad streaming music is the main reason I want an lte compatible watch!
So... Am I doing something wrong? Is spotify to blame? Or samsung? Still have a few weeks before my return window expires, any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on a note 9 for the phone
My spotify is through a Facebook account
I have cell service on the watch from tmo
You need to use the Spotify ID to connect, not the Facebook login, it wasn't working for me. Just go to Spotify settings on a browser and set up a device password to make it work.
Today, Spotify has been upgraded to the watch (not a little trouble). For the time being, it looks like all the functions are working again. Check out the Galaxy Store.:good:
Seems to be working only on Samsung phones though. I don't see the Spotify app in the Galaxy store (Belgium / Pixel 3 XL). Just got the watch yesterday, loving the hardware, software not so much at this point...

Nope, me neither. Seems they don't really support the combination Galaxy Wear + Non Galaxy phone... What a disappointment this is.
It could be a store location or a watch region issue, you could ask samsung support to see why and if it's a store location use a vpn and try to download it or if it's the watch change the region if it's a big deal for you.

Yes you can change the region of the watch but you should know that doing so it will only allow Samsung Pay cards of that country and for some it's a must have.
Before you do anything you should check what region you want to add and find the code for it, because the region names are just 3 letter codes and it's hard to know what is going on when selecting the code(there are a lot of them) and you don't want to spend hours guessing to change it to a new one. And before you change the region write down the one your watch came with so you can go back if you need it or want it later down the line.
The first step is to download SDBstarterKidv1.zip from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Then you follow the steps in here(it says gear sport but it works fine on galaxy watch).
Also when it says "debugging mode on" you need to select it on the watch and restart it so it works.

They didn't give an ETA but when it's fixed they said it will be back on the galaxy app store.
In the meantime you can use the stock music player on the watch to control Spotify from the phone, and also just about any music app on phone.

Has anyone noticed the battery consumption of Spotify on the Galaxy Watch SM-R815F?
I went for a 30 min run today. I played music with Spotify offline. Battery dropped from 93% to 70% during the run. According to the battery monitor Spotify accounted for 17% of those 23% (the rest was screen, S Health and Strava).
17% battery consumption for 30 min of music seems quite high to me? Or is that normal?
I haven't tested the normal music app to compare. I assume bluetooth takes some battery but still.
Hi to all,
I have encounter a boring problem with op9 pro paired with bluetooth headset (more than one).
every time I said on assistant by my bluetooth headsets (aftershokx aeropex, oneplus bullets wireless Z) any commands like "call mom" "open garage Stefano" "turn on stairs light", and so on, assistant telle me to unlock phone first (????). On assistant the option of "personal results on lockscreen" and the one relative to bluetooth devices is activated, but: "[...]yes, but first you need to unlock the phone.".
on my op7 pro i try same commands without any problems. So... which is the problem?
It's very boring, expecially driving, unlock the phone to use it to make a simple call or to open my garage door.

You can try contacting Google tech support. Occasionally they can be quit helpful... if they choose to.
A Bing search etc may yield better results.
I really try to keep my use of Google apps to a bare bones minimum.
