Sense TV will be discontinued - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you open the app it says it will be discontinued April 30th. I wander why. Would we still be able to use it or completely gone?

Where you getting that from?
Mine opens fine with no message, it was even updated yesterday 31st March.
Maybe its not continuing on older Android versions?
Either that or you're rubbish at April fools...

I seen that as well, my app notified me. It reccomends Peel Smart, which in my opinion is a better remote anyways.

Both apps are far from perfect. But even though I know Sense TV uses Peel technology, I prefer the layout and functionality of Sense TV over the Peel app.
In any case, its good for folks to have choices. I'll be sad to see Sense TV go.

I saw this on Android Central earlier: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-shutting-down-sense-tv-app-moving-users-over-peel. IMHO, I found the Peel app to be useless to me. The transfer of my remote information must not have worked, as none of my remotes work. I've got a message in to Peet to see if they know of a fix.

I just got an update for the TV app (that I never use) today. Doubt it is discontinued. Perhaps regionally?

I got that update as well. That's what directed me to the Peel app. I still have them both available, but I by the end of April HTC plans to discontinue support. Maybe the app will continue to be available, but with no support. I think I'd almost take that as opposed to the Peel app.

I prefer HTC Sense TV, so I really hope I can continue to use the app even though HTC is switching over to Peel. Plus I decided to uninstall the app through Titanium Backup and do not feel like re-flashing the ROM just for a remote app. ?

Does Lookout actually do anything other than virus protection?

I've been using Lookout for a while now, to my general satisfaction, but I tested the "Missing Device" feature the other day, and... it failed miserably.
The device was on, sitting next to me, connected to WiFi. I logged onto their website with a desktop machine, signed in, and asked it to find my device. It scanned for a while, but then said something along the lines of "Sorry, we couldn't find your device. Can you try again a little later?" Now this is an ideal situation, in real life scenario I would probably lose it somewhere where there is no WiFi. I don't have a data plan, so I don't know how the tracking would ever be able to find the device, unless it can work via GPS somehow.
So... if none of that bonus stuff works, can I turn it all off? Just use the virus scanner, which seems to have worked fine so far.
Take that app off your phone, upon boot it will drain your battery like hell, opt you in for a many anonymous statistics. Download latest CyanogenMod 10.2.2 + later nightlies are fine.

I recommend Cerberus for tracking and security. Excellent app. SeekDroid is good as well.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Is the Pro version worth the cost? It's on sale for ~11$ at the moment.

Why not avast? It's free and it has a firewall, etc.
I am personally not a fan of anti virus for Android. Never found real need for it. Maybe it's just me. I just use Cerberus for "find my phone" feature just in case.

Nope,its too high..free version is okay
It's an 'anti-theft' app, but the bastards had gone greedy and made nearly all the free features as paid. I'd recommend 'Cerberus' light and powerful anti-theft app and feature packed, if only it got more recognition.
^^^ definitely Cerberus is a must app!!

I loved that, too. It looks like Google disabled the functionality for devices that didn't get a factory KitKat ROM as of April 14th. I would post a link to the Google support page about it, but I'm too new to XDA to post links.
I started getting notices in the app over the last month, then the functionality disappeared on April 14th, just as it described. I'm not sure what the technical reason was, if any.

So they removed this for everyone? I thought i just screwed something up when i re set up after wiping and putting on a new ROM.
That blows. Loved being able to use GWallet.
that's ridiculous is there any sort of workaround in the works?
I've moved on to the Nexus 5 a few months ago but I don't remember that being an issue when I had the Galaxy Nexus. I was on Verizon and used Google Wallet just fine. I don't know if they updated something that broke it though.
Maybe the gnex doesn't have the host emulation thing?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
As I understand it, and I could very well be wrong, but I thought Host card emulation was a completely software driven system. No more need for the secure element on the Gnex anymore.

Next Version of AW being tested on Huawei Watch

It sounds like Android Wear should be updated "soon" and we "should" have the speaker support all of us Huawei Watch owners have been longing for.
The next version of Android Wear is being tested on the Huawei Watch from the sounds of it. I would bet (hope) the Huawei Watch sees the update first! Here is a link to the article by Android Police:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...i-watch-and-it-finally-activates-the-speaker/
Anyone have any idea how to become a member of this testing group?

Does anyone know if your phone's android system needs to be at version 6 (Marshmallow) in order to use the new features on the watch, once android wear is updated¿

I was just coming over to post the same article. This may make my regret of leaving the Gear S go away!
This is why I bought this watch, for speakerphone support on Wear 1.4 update.
The ZenWatch 2 also has a speaker and should also receive an update. No other Wear watches have a speaker.
I hope that this is not fake.

Yea this is not fake.
The LG Urbane 2 LTE came with this version and had the speaker enabled. The Urbane was supposed to release with it but was recalled due to some "hardware" issues.
I specifically bought the Huawei watch for this specific reason. Watch calls from inside my pool this summer, yes!
I WISH they would include an option for a keyboard. Yes it is not ideal or reasonable for normal use, but there are some times when it would be awesome. Options are always good, even if they are disabled by default. Even a T9 style old school input would be awesome.

I use these two apps:
Mail for Android Wear
And
Messages for Android Wear
They are both replacement apps and are by the same Dev and have tiny keyboards that can be gotten used to!
They also have a web browser that works... well... It works...
I hope this is real. I'd love to have audio notifications on my H Watch.
Just waiting for someone to leak the firmware and confirm its true.
The guy who recieved the update didn't make a system dump before installing the update. This can only be done BEFORE installing. So there is no hope, we will get the update from him. Unless there is another user that copies the update.zip before installing.
On the other hand he won't be the only one to recieve this test build.

This device has an unlocked bootloader and a redily available copy of twrp.
ANY ONE who got that update could distribute it with in just a few minutes...
1. Receive update.
2. Let it apply
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Flash TWRP
5. Back up entire system
6. Post to internet.
But to what you are saying... Yes, it is correct that you can only get the update.zip before install. However see my point about getting the entire deal.
Then anyone could restore his TWRP back up and have whatever it is he has...
Perhaps newer builds of the firmware will be more widely tested soon, and more likely to leak out.....
The thing that's bothering me is that perhaps we might not get this firmware at all, and that it might be for testing features in a new 2016 watch from Huawei.
figures crossed we WILL get a download of this soon

Camera, Theme Store and Game booster Updates 11/24

Just checked the Playstore for updates and looks like Razer has updated the apps. :good:
Hmm, I'm not seeing that my end, any way you can pull the camera app and post pls?
Much improvement btw?
Haven't messed with it much but don't notice a huge difference.
So what's you app version now? I'm on 1.3.111 - can you backup the app and post if you have different? I'm so eager for change to the quality, gcam port is ok but a shame about the tele lens not working.
Sorry to pester you

Camera version 1.4.135.
Don't have a way to back up and upload but here the direct link for it on the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.razerzone.camera
Hmm even when I follow your link I have no option to update, are you on an unbranded razer? I'm on three uk.... And does an app like 'super backup & restore not work on it?
Might be a rollout I don't have any updates for those apps either. I've updated the theme store app and game booster before (November 7th is the current build for me) never updated the camera no update available for it.
My Camera app is stuck at 1.3.111, cant install from the Google store as it says already installed and the app cant be removed. Any tips?

Mine updated to the latest version 1.4.135 and the camera still sucks. HDR just kills the speed. I took a picture yesterday morning and it just rolled for 5 mins on saving the HDR image. I eventually had to close the app and move on but the image never saved.

Going off-topic a second,
Noticed in your bio/listed devices, the OPPO Find 7.....

I bet the camera on that phone, even if the hardware is 4 yrs or so old, takes better pics than what we have with the Razer ATM....

lol. Yeah. I gave that phone to a friend of mine and he ended up giving it to his daughter. So it's still rocking and rolling. If it wasn't for some of the software issues I had with Color OS, I may have kept it longer, (it was really unstable when I had the phone) I ROM'd the hell out of it and gave it away because I couldn't be bothered to mess with it anymore. She still likes the phone and still gets compliments for it.

When Is Night Sight Officially Out?!

I know we can download an APK for camera P3 and get the feature but why is it taking so long for Google to release the official features advertised? It's been a month the device has been out now, do we have any official release dates?
Short answer: no one knows
Certainly is ridiculous, you advertise features that don't release with a phone. Between that and the memory issues they can't fix quick enough they wonder why they can't get people from Apple to convert over. Just terrible business...
If they're taking longer to iron out bugs and improve the feature, in my opinion they can take as long as they like.

It's not that big of a deal. It's only been out for 4 weeks. Plus, companies including Apple regularly advertise features that don't get added until after the device launches. The original portrait mode for Apple devices came out months after the phone launched.

Apple users never convert, you should know that. Night mode will not make them either.
If you're simply dying for the feature there is an apk that will install a second app drawer camera with the feature until it's merged into the regular one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they say at the Pixel reveal that it would come in November?

To be fair they said it will come soon. so who cares, wait a few weeks. My guess December update.

Not sure if common knowledge, but saw a post on Google about nightsight. So I clicked the link, which lead me to an official Google blog on it - I think it was written today - it states nightsight is coming in a camera update 'within the next few days'.
Keep your eyes peeled ?

It seems there is a slight quality decrease with the official one when you zoom and check. Old one is a little bit better. I have compared only the night site. Official app is sticking more to the lower ISO than old apk.
