New Wear Companion App - Sony Smartwatch 3

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...roid-wear-1-1-1-1867902-android-apk-download/
Looks like it has the Wifi setup stuff in it..
A bit concerned about the needing access to calendar and the ability to email guests... Any idea why it might want that?

calendar, maybe to synch the calendar with the watch?

I'm just glad it gets rid of that notification that's always there!!!

Actually, that change comes from an update Google Play Services... (7.3.27 or greater).

Facebook update

So Facebook has finally been updated and we have a menu button, but it looks like they removed the contact sync options :/

looks great! at least they are listening, I've had a couple of updates over the last week or so!
Lets hope for another quick update which restores the contacts sync
ty for this, wow new UI rocks, I'd throw thanks if i wasn't on xda app

Yeah it is much better.. they finally matched the mobile web UI. Hope we get contact sync back.

Given sync was removed from the Nexus S I doubt we'll get it back on the GN.
Finally, a Facebook update thats worthwhile. It looks more like the iOS version now which is surprisingly a good thing!

I was about to write the exact same thing.
Facebook's contact sync is still in the app, but it's only accessible through the legacy (read: physical) menu button.
Looks like facebook just got lazy and didn't carry over the entire settings menu into the new ui.
Maybe a nice dev can fix their crap and give you a way to access that 2nd menu?

Nah, afaik it's really FB that doesn't let it sync. Got something to do with FB refusing to use Google's APIs. There's a post on that issue somewhere, can't find it atm. Unless FB change their attitude, we won't be seeing sync in Android.
You are indeed correct.
Hadn't heard of this before, so did some digging and apparently Google got tired of giving FB special access to do a pseudo-sync of contacts (in other words, even though FB data was in the contacts app, it didn't actually sync to google contacts).
I'll have to keep this in mind when I get around to picking up my own Nexus.

Works well!
Does anyone get facebook notifications i have not had any yet on my GN or does anykne know how to fix it?
Is no-one else having the same UI glitches that I have?
When I pull down to refresh, it doesn't pull the feed down, just the bar at the top. Looks really clumsy and I don't think it's meant to behave like this.
Also, it gives me notifications for unread messages every half hour, regardless of whether there are new ones or not.

Does work well. Wish the images were Hi-Res though.
Also, deleting messages doesn't work reliably. I don't get it... If this was iPhone, it'd get fixed immediately but Android seems to get an 'almost works' version every time.

Calendar widget issues

Anyone have an issue with the calendar widget not showing all calendars? Is there a way to fix this? Its only showing birthdays.. nothing upcoming.
Thanks!
do you have more than one calendar?
can't say i have the same problem

Yes sir, I have about 5 calendars. Its only showing events from 1... When I enter the calendar app, its all there though... so its weird.
Wiping my Gmail account and trying to resync it.. hopefully fixes it.
Well that didnt fix it either... ugh..
Any other good 3rd party calendar widgets working on ICS?

The MUST HAVE app for Android 4.0

Since we have today our fully working ICS rom, I would like to share this app
HaxSync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's sync your facebook contacts (Pictures and status updates) with your phone contacts in the same way ICS sync your contacts with google plus (High res contact pictures)
The app it's only 99 cents and IMO it's totally worth it.
BTW: I hold no relationship with the developer of this app, im just a happy customer.
Try it you wont regret.

whats different between this and the official facebook app sync feature?

why pay .99 cents when this feature is already free?...

Is it a built-in feature of ICS? Because for me it only syncs Google+ contacts and completely ignores facebook contacts. Pictures don't come up or anything. Neither do their icons show in Handcent SMS

no, it's built into the official facebook app. I guess that app is included in the skyrocket port. you have to go into facebook settings and choose SYNC.
That said, it looks like my contacts (i use Go Contacts) defaults to sync with google+ before it uses facebook for photos.

Yeah man just go on to the development forums and it should be on the first page. You could also search for it. Instructions are all there. There are a couple of bugs, most notably the auto rotation doesn't work. But other than that it works perfectly for most, including me I would suggest reading the entire thread to gain a little insight into what has been going on and to be a little safer with the installation and all that.... GOOD LUCK!!
When I had my Galaxy Nexus back in December I know there was no Facebook sync available for ICS at the time, I don't know if they've updated it back then.
But you can use Friencaster to sync all your contacts and pictures.
This reminds me though, has anyone else noticed there's no People app? Is that a Nexus only app or just missing?

Did I miss a memo?
I have a question, Facebook from the sky rocket ICS port won't let me access the pull down notifications. What I mean is, I'll get a notification, open the pull down in the app, and it shows me what's new but I can't touch it to access it, it does absolutely nothing.
Anyone know of a better app for Facebook?

Getting Rid Of Google Completely

Possible to free a ROM of everything Google? I have read a few articles but nothing really specific. I see Google as intrusive personally.
Edit: To clarify what I mean. Stop all the data mining,tracking,etc. That's pretty much it. I know its a Google is,and as such only so much could be removed but at least it would limit the intrusiveness. Not looking to go stealth,anonymous or some paranoid tin hat sh*t lol. Maybe a safe indy app store or even just side load, no syncing to any of googles crap whatsoever, no anything that allows Google to get my info. I figure my carrier is good enough in that area as far as tracking important data such as location for 911,etc.
If you delete your Google account from your phone, most apps will most likely act up, but that is one way to do it. I haven't tested, but since you brought it up i think I'm gonna give it a go right now
Lol moist..Sounds like a winner to me.
Was thinking of going all apkmania.com lol joke people...maybe juice it up with some yahoo love lol. Never mind..I guess Google just owns me at this point.
Seems like my android phone loves Google
Lol
Apps downloaded from the Google market just don't have good behavior with out being able to synch. I.e. xda premium that i use for staying up to date. Doesn't.
actually i took your advice and deleted my google account,play store,google services framework,google one time userinit,..EVERYTHING. rom still running great. im using yahoo mail with no geolocation services and using custom weather location in rom with all location except what you got to have on turned off and i actually have 162 mb free ram versus 129 before and can see a difference in battery life and speed of rom. all the bookmark sync,contacts sync..all of that garbage deleted from rom. i did it because in my own personal opinion its none of googles business who my contacts are,what my calendar appointments are,what websites i like to go to or anything else for that matter...sell me the damn phone..stay out of my life...thats the deal lol
I'm gonna do a fresh flash with slim ROM and test

I really like the convenience of google "knowing" my bookmarks and contacts cuz I know I couldn't keep up with all of that... but it seems you guys are on to something...?

you could install a rom without the gapps, pure aosp is completely free of google stuff
a cm. aokp doesn't give out your data to Google.. a rom doesn't in short..
it's the gapps which does it... if you're on a custom rom then don't flash gaaps all would be fine..
but on stock and you want to be secure you will need tp get rid of the libs and all the Google thing's...

Exactly, its not like google is a man who will terrorise you be because it knows your contacts names. Its just a computer system storing your data. Idk what's there to freak out

this one has been an issue for me as well. i keep tons of appointments and none of the crap ive found really provide the two things i need in a good calendar. 1. a customizable full month widget 2. full featured agenda
google calendar is crap and doesnt even have a month widget,android pro widgets has a great month widget but its all heavily dependent on google calendar to work at all unless you are just using a month widget without any other use in it. and its bloated with crap widgets like facebook,etc..and i cant find a decent replacement any where on play store. think i will try f-droid.

Ads after every call?

I've been getting a small pop-up add, usually from Microsoft, after every call I make. Anyone else getting them or know how to stop them?
Do you have any Microsoft related apps installed on your phone?
think about what apps youve installed in the past
go through them one by one and figure it out

You're right, it was a Microsoft app, Outlook. It's strange though, I had it installed on my Oneplus One and I never got the adds. Maybe it was the latest update or something.
Edit: The ads came back after uninstalling Outlook.

Its not apps. Its a website you visited that's spamming you. Clear your history and cookies all that good stuff and it should get rid of the problem.
I had the same issue and this is what I was told
That's how I solved this issue on my LG V20 running Nougat:
Go to:
Settings / General / Google Services / Ads / Opt out of Ads Personalization
