G3 and UP24 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I went headlong into getting a G3 (from an S4). Love the phone, but my first issue is the UP 24 is NOT supported on this phone.
Weird as I was running 4.4.2 on my s4, so its shouldn't be an OS issue. I even called jawbone to whine, and they said "too bad not supported".
Drag, any ideas? I guess maybe when I can get recovery on here I can try some different BT stacks or something...

Are you saying the app doesn't show up in the market, or it won't find the band? Also are you using Dalvik or ART for your runtime?

This was something I was really wondering about. LG G2 isn't officially supported but seems to work. Hopefully it's an issue of not being available in the play store, and sideloading or device spoofing gets around it.

Bought the G3. Used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackpf.apkdownloader to get the app installed (had to use the framework ID from my old phone to get it to work) and it paired and appears to be syncing!

I've spent some time playing with this. What happens is, sporadically (2-3x a day, or every 3 days, there's mo real pattern) the app gets "can't find the band" and can't sync. This then blocks BT from working with anything over BT (earbuds, etc).
A reboot fixes it. But, I have also found if you toggle off BT for about 30 secs, it seems to reset everything. Only once has the toggle not worked for me.
It's weird that once the "alert" icon shows up (can't connect), BT seems stuck for everything, so I guess the version of the BT radio is not happy with UPs constant connections and it get's stuck...
Hope that helps those of you that get this. Just running the stock 851 ATT rom, towelrooted and G3 tweaks (but this started before I rooted or tweaked, and continued after).
Also, sorry on the app question, no clue as I brought it over from a TI backup, never went to the store for it.

Can someone help me try to do this? I just bought the UP24 and would like to give it a try. I downloaded apkdownloader but I need the package number or something.

It says, API exception. App not found

I pulled the apk from a TiB, but it's 37Mb, so I can't post it, if anyone has a way I'm happy to provice.

I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evozi.deviceid&hl=en to get the framework ID off my old phone. I think what happens is using the framework ID from the LG G3 the play store still sees that the Up app is not valid and rejects it. Using the old ID from a working device got around this. After that, searching for com.jawbone.up using the apk downloader should get it pulled down.

So I need to find someone to give me their framework id? Is the app and band still working well for you?

I had the same issue, and I love my band and I knew there had to be a way. The app has bugs, like you won't be able to change the portion size for your food entries and the bluetooth might cut out. If the bluetooth cuts out, I just open the open, open the recent apps and flick it closed. The cannot connect notification goes away and it syncs like normal.
Just go to
apkleecher . com (new to forum, can't post links! sorry. just take out the spaces)
It just downloads directly from Google Play without a Device ID to bypass any compatibility issues.
Just put the UP app link directly from the Play Store into the text field:
https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.jawbone.up&hl=en
Generate the link, and then click the white box to download UP by Jawbone 3.1.2 (or whatever version is the newest on the Play Store)
This is all done on the phone itself, just make sure under Security in settings that Unknown Sources is checkmarked before downloading.

This worked for me! The app and band seem to be working too, thanks! I was just about to go to the store to return it
*edit - Just FYI I had to go to the website and download the apk on my PC. It was just getting hung up on my phone. I then connected my phone to the computer via USB and transferred the apk. It's working great!

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.

[TUT]How to use Google Music outside the US.

Since i done a bit of research and dug around a bit on xda i finally came up with a thread that shows me how to get it working. And it actually does and i for one find it amazing.
What you get is with Google Music you get to have a 20,000 song space over the air firstly. That is awesome. You can play music offline or while you out and about and that frees space on your phone. More details regarding Google music you can get it here
Now on with the tutorial:
1) First download hotspot shield from here
2) Once you downloaded then install it on your pc. Once you install then start it up. I suggest to use either Firefox or Google Chrome.
3) What hotspot shield does it basically does is to use your browser as a VPN. That gives the impression that you are in America for example and you can download google music. Think of it as market enabler that you use on your phone for apps that are only available in the US or other countries.
4) Once hotspot shield is installed run this and the "shield" will go from red to green. This means it's running.
5) Then go to play.google.com and then to shop->shop music and register or login with your gmail address.
6) Download and install google music manager and exit hotspot shield.
7) Once done enjoy your music on any phone. For android just download the apk given in the OP.
So there you go...a very nearly full functional use of google music....let me know what you think and if it's helped you out. Feel free to share the guide if you like. Just make sure you ask me first and give link of my thread to yours. Once you finished all the setup and everything else with your account, no need no longer need to use hotspot so you can uninstall it from your pc
Thanks to truthlesshero for his guide that helped me get me started.
Google Music Manager download from here for MAC
For Windows it is here
And if this guide has helped you out do not forget to hit that thanks button
Doesn't work.. asks me to "Add a new payment method", if I click Cancel or the X in the top right, it doesn't proceed and doesn't setup my Music Library and cannot upload music, and it doesn't actually get the Free song I chose.
I think they have worked out this method and are now asking for a USA credit card to confirm you are a USA citizen, even tho they do not charge your card.
Bummer..
I just used a free VNC, like TunnelBear, and created my account through web browser.
I have an account with http://uktvproxy.co.uk/ for watching SKY UK as I live abroad now. I signed upto to Google music a few months ago, put all my collection online and the best thing is that it works just fine on my mobile without having to be logged into a proxy.
It's a good service, but for me, on my other phones there has been about a 3-5 second delay in between changing songs - that feels like an eternity to me. Not sure how to improve the speed.
If it ever gets like spotify, where the music starts/changes almost instantly, then I'd use it more often.
I have no issues when using on my pc though.

that requires you to download the tor browser and although it sounds easier i can sure it does not.
look all you do is download hotspot shield. then install and start it up. get firefox up and running and then just go into google music and follow the steps...piece of cake..once you setup your account with google music and set up everything on pc which it takes five minutes, then all you got to do is just start listening to music. and every time you go on google music on your pc just make sure you sign in with your email account that you set up the google music with..and then you can uninstall hotspot shield
not working for me either. I'm using Tor browser, if i browse to whatismycountry.com it tells me i'm in the USA, so the proxy is working. But when i go to music.google.com and log in i get the following message:
We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.
when I go to play.google.com i do get the option to enter the music store, but then when i try to add a free song it tells me to add a new payment method...
Then when i fill out all of the fields (apparantly i live in the US, in Somecity, Alabama) it tells me my phone number is invalid.
Adding a random american phone number (i used games workshop's customer service phone number) works, and I can now "purchase" free songs.
Next issue, when i try to buy a free song i get the message "Oops, we could not determine if this item is compatible with your device. Please try again later."
No idea how to fix that, so I'm stuck for now. music.google.com still says unsupported, and no songs can be added.

are you downloading music manager firstly? and then you do know you can not buy songs..you can only access the free ones. honestly i got it working for me otherwise i would not be posting this...
Right guys try this for me please
install hotspot shield. Once installed run this and the "shield" will go from red to green. This means it's running. Then go to music.google.com and register or login with your gmail address. Download and install google music manager and exit hotspot shield. Start uploading your music. Once done enjoy your music on any phone.
For android just google google music.apk and install and for all other phone/tablet(including wp7 and iPhone/iPad) just go to music.google.com
Hope it helps someone now
interesting. I'm at work, so not everything is possible here concerning proxy's. But once i tethered my internet through my phone I could use hotspot shield, and that just worked first try! I have downloaded the google music app on my computer!
now i'm going to download that apk and install it on my phone.

its not downloading..i will upload the same version as yours then i found it on my pc..Uploaded..Just uploaded the new version in the OP now.
Hi guys, just to confirm that it is working.
Although i haven't tried it with hotspot shiled. At work we are using USA proxy so i just downloaded and registered at work, got the APK installed also and uploaded 8000+ songs when i went home (it took a looong time ) now i can listen all my songs from work, home, HOX, anywhere with internet access...
I tried the engadget method, didn't work. Would just hang at the final stage of registration.
Had no probs using a program called Hide My IP. It works with the free 14 day trial. Just set IP to a US one and register for google music.
http://www.hide-my-ip.com/
I think it's been mentioned that you can update the apk in the OP. I'm currently using v4.1.513, and don't even know if that's the latest.
This does work, I've been using google music for a few months now and I'm in the uk. Just drag and drop your music into the relevant pc folder and your phone will sync it.

hi i couldnt also get it to work on my main pc, so i thought.
i got the not avalible in your country thingy.
anyways i went upstairs to my laptop (which has unblock-us installed on the wifi router - i have two routers one with unblock-us and the other standard) and just put in the url - staight in with a bucket load of free tunes (375 tune or 24hs 38mins worth).
Im unsure if they let the original instal went though or if my unblock-us was the thing that sorted it, either way im happy!!! really nice app that works seemlessly on all my android devices.
time to free up the music from my machines now and sync them though the cloud!!.
thanks again OP., btw i had now probs with the supplied apk, streaming working a-ok here

Market opens webpage not app?

I am updating my old HTC Incredible to give to a friend who demolished their smart phone and cant updated right now.
I have it currently at 4.08.605.15 ... seems okay.
But when I hit Market, it loads a web page to Google Play rather than opening up the market app...
Not quite sure what is going on.
Note that I currently have the phone on wifi only.. no VZW service...but I don't think that should matter.
UPDATE...
Just finished posting this... and I look at the phone and the New Market (google play) Icon is now there... strange...

Play Store (aka Market) will update itself if you give it half a chance and a data connection, so the change of icon is not surprising. Is it working now?
Yep.... was a bit confusing since I thought the apps had not loaded properly. Guess I never gave it a chance to update until I set it down to post.
Just put the phone through the various apps it comes with... works great... haven't picked it up for sometime since replaced it with my Rezound.
Recall it being the best phone I'd had up to that time.

I am having the same problem. No data connection, just "WIFI". When you said data, is this the only way the play store will update? I just flashed Touch of blue V:2.2 Not trying to hijack but keep the threads together since they are the same issue.
EDIT: I figured it out! After resetting the phone a couple times it worked. You have to be quick and click on the market while looking for the "accept" button to appear. It will only be there for 1 second and if it's not hit in time you will be redirected to the google play website. Hope this might help someone else.

Google app/Google search question about crashes

Hi all,
I know there are quite a few people with issues on the google app crashing and I thought it might be helpful to see if we could collate different people's experience here - what hardware (RK?), rom, version etc, in case there is a particular version that works.
I have a RK3066/stock rom configuration. In terms of the version I have tried:
So 3.3.12 didn't crash at all in my brief test . But can't voice dial, guess they changed how it works some point after that .
5.4.x can crash repeatedly, best case feels like every other time. It also does not pick up my navigate requests correctly.
4.9.22 crashes infrequently so far. Never repeatedly which is importantly , worst every other time,usual say every five attempts.
4.7.x similar to 4.9.22
4.5.x - crashed alot
4.1.x crashes every 2-3 attempts, but can voice dial with this version (and above).
There is a 5.12 beta I haven' tried.
APKs at http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/
Finally, is there a way of logging the detail of a google app crash - to see if there is something specific causing it?
Cheers
Another option.. I played w/ it on my phone and it was pretty nice. It does rely on google voice search so who knows if it'll crash also.

Well that sucks a big one. To be honest it started to annoy me today. Couldn't fund out how to quickly turn it off
I would prefer to dig into why it crashes rather them retry to replace it. We know Goggle Voice works well when it works we just need to keep it working.
Unfortunately I really don't know where to start with it. I wish I had a bench top unit so I didn't always need to be in my car.
Is anyone running a HU emulator?

Yes I think this will get us furthest, if we can understand why it crashes, then maybe there is a work around. Is it to do with microphone readiness, data connection or some other launch/ROM issue????
Having a crash free google app voice search would turn this HU from good to virtually perfect for me!

On my HU is crashing all the time. I'm using the latest ROM from Malay Master. I have tried different version(some are crashes often, some rarely), but until now I didn't find a solution/workaround to this problem.
Still investigating...

So are you able to say which are more stable? And what hardware do you have?

The most stable is version 4.9.22.19 from apkmirror.com
HU Technical Specs: RK3188, 1024x600
Here is the link with the product:

Yes, I also thought that 4.9.22 is one of the most stable of those that I have tried and have proper functionality. I'm on RK3066 and stock ROM. Interesting that your RK3188 doesn't improve things markedly, I don't think it is a processing power issue.
I was thinking about this a little bit more, I remember trying 3.3.12 (or whatever is the stock one installed) and it was very stable, but can't voice dial on it; 4.1.x etc start to crash so I wonder if there is information out there about the main changes that happened between these versions and so what might be causing it. is it something that has greater dependency on a good wifi connection or something else or some kind of software module that's not meshing right with the HU?
I found this in an old thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48854301&postcount=714

Got Google Now working, sort of anyway. Here's how I did it.
install an old PrebulitGMSCore apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8WVI2YWg3TFZ4MTg/edit?usp=sharing (Google Play Services).
install Velvet apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8X2t2MzQ4MkMyd1U/edit?usp=sharing (Google Now).
this step probably not be needed as I was trying to install Google Home Launcher, install Google Home apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8OU9odi1ZRzJ5cHM/edit?usp=sharing (Google Home Launcher).
launch Google Now, it will detect a new version, update it.
I can use Google Now to launch default Radio and Music app by "play music" and "play radio".
"play disc" not working for me, neither are "navigate home" and "navigate office", they just get normal search results.

Has anyone gone done the route of changing the PrebulitGMSCore apk but with a more functional Google Now etc?
I'm hesitant to dig into this until Malaysk's next update that will be out soon.
Hello all,
I made some good progress, although with one drawback.
Today I tried v3.6 (I think it was 3.6.16) from apkmirror. And tried it just under ten times with NO crashes. A record for my head unit!!
v3.6 does have calling functionality, and navigate works fine too.
The only drawback seems to be the play music function (I really only need these three functions as everything else I do is quite straightforward from steering wheel controls). It doesn't seem to bring up poweramp and play the music as later versions do....But maybe this is something can be resolved by settings, I need to investigate more when I am back in the car.
Please can others try this and contribute to the thread - I feel I am so close to having this up and running well!
I'm going to continue posting on this thread, although it does somewhat feel like I am talking to myself.
So in the car a couple more times today. Absolutely no crashes on this version of 3.6.16 (what did they change after that which made it no work so well on MTCB HU?). When online, call and navigation work brill, don't know why it refused to play ball on play music.
Messing around with some voice command apps, and still testing this, but this sorts out the play music, and play music and navigate commands work well when offline - but just cant seem to get call to recognise properly when offline - it would be the last missing link for me - think it might be something that can be customised to be fixed though - will update when I figure this last bit out!
I'll play with this soon also.
Dave
I'm swamped right now but I will try to test it later in the week.
Ok, that would be great - was in the car again this morning and seemed to work fine. If someone knows how to make this version work well with the play music command (i.e. find local music and load it in poweramp), that would be great!
The other reason why i went to 3.6 is that it offline voices is meant to work but it isn't. I am wondering if the gapps version needs to also be rolled back to an earlier version for offline voices to work.

Please continue to talk to yourself, i'm listening
I hope to give version 3.6.16 a try later today and I'll post my results here.
There are some things I need to figure out to make this HU (almost) perfect and a stable voice command/search certainly is one of them.
I loaded 3.6.16 today and so far no issues. Do you happen to have a chameleon or version history so we can try to bisect this?

Question Someone has problems with the app for the Handle?

I am trying to use the ExternalDevice application to connect the Pro Handle, but the application closes all the time, even in Game Space. Has anyone else had the same problem? Have you found a solution?
There is, you have to download the latest version from the Chinese nubia store. Then uninstall and reinstall. I haven't had a single connection issue since (had tons before) I will try to either post a link to the store later, I can directly upload the APK, if that is allowed here. Hope this helps, I was getting so frustrated with mine, almost gave up on it. Now I'm trying to get a second one for a Complete set up lol

I'll try what you say because Nubia mounted an update that solved the problem but the Handle is not accurate at all (When I move the Stick to the right the character goes down)

Hm you are right, seems to fix the issue but I have slight lag problems as well but I thought it was all my bt connections (diabetes equipment like cgm, insulin pump, RedMagic watch, bt headband headphones) so we may need another update. Glad to hear yours is working tho
