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)

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.

Play Store

Has anyone had a cure for the bug of Google Play Store when the problem is occurring on the phone and on the play.google.com website? I can't access my apps on the phone or on the website. The website gives me errors like "Were sorry, there was an error. Please try again later" or "Oops, we had trouble processing your request. We're working on fixing the issue. Please try again later (BM-PPH-01)" The phone gives me the "RPC:S-5:AEC-0" error.
This reminds me of the horrible bug Google had on the App Store a few years back.
(Nope, non of the searched cures have worked to cure either the phone or website's problem)

No and hundreds and hundreds of folks have it.
It's a play store back end issue. If you go to the website on your computer, the bug exists there too. So... Just wait it out.

Does this happen frequently? It just happened for both my wife's computer and mine as well as our phones.
I was able to buy one app on her computer and when I went to buy the second app I was unable. When I went to my computer I wasn't able to buy it there either.
If I keep trying, will it block my account?
How long on average would you wait to try again?
Thanks

Ok fella hit the thanks button. Because to fix the problem I figured it out. You must use an older account it can have the same credit card. Problem is if you have made a kinda new account & buy alot of stuff they do that to you. I couldn't buy anything searched left & right. Switching accounts via play store & purchasing the app from another (older)email address it workd every time. I was frustrated as well. Let me know if it works out for ya

Quick Connect update error.

Been pouring through every little nook and cranny on my brand spanking new Note 4.
Upgraded from a Note 2 and this thing is a Gem.
Anyhow, When i launch quick connect from the drop down window, it says theres a new version and to update it. But when i try to update it it yields an error -
Product does not exist in this store. (4002)
Anybody else seeing this?
ANy idea of a solution?

bump.. nobody?

Same here. Error code 4002. What the hell Samsung>?

I don't get an error, but I've found the feature mostly useless.. I connected to my wife's phone and sent her a simple pic. It was a pretty big hassle. Was much easier to just text it.
One useful thing was to screencast to my roku. Worked fairly well, but I would rarely use it.

Me too
Same issue for me...
Annoyingly, I can the Chromecast in the background which it won't let me choose...
*sigh*

I had the exact same problem. What solved it for me was...
Settings
Applications tab
Application manager
Click on 'all'
Go to the Quick Connect app
Clear Data
Hope that sorts yours out too.

Glad to hear Naroyto. Maybe I should work for Samsung UAE.
This 'Quick Connect Update Error' thread was the reason I joined the forum. I saw people having the same issue so I wanted to 'share the love'.
Enjoy. :good:

Just did an update to Quick Connect and now I can't find my roku 3 when I search for devices. Very disappointed. Any suggestions? I don't know how to go back to prior app b4 update.

I'l getting this error too. I'm very unhappy with this new tablet. The software is busted out of the box

quick connect just tells me to update and when i press update, it boots me off back to home screen. Very frustrating to have a feature you can't use, or delete, or fix. I have a T-mobile Note 4. I can't figure out any solution for it, except to wait for marshmallow update 6.0. Maybe it will become optional in settings once the update hits.

Thanks I was having this issue with my old S5 and this worked perfectly.

Google Fit not counting steps without phone

Hi all,
I couldn't find a similar topic in the SW3 forum, so apologies if this is a duplicate. I'm finding my SW 3 (running 5.1.1) will not count my steps on its own, only when I have my phone with me. I only got the watch a couple weeks ago, so not sure if it is a problem with the 5.1.1 update. As far as I understand, the watch should be able to count the steps on its own and then sync with my phone later...is this not correct? I know it has GPS to track runs with Endomondo, but I thought it had its own pedometer as well.
If this is indeed supposed to work, any ideas to fix it?

Welcome to the nightmare that is google fit. It's just awful and broken. Sync always screws up between the watch and the phone. It really is a joke. I honestly don't understand how google can allow something like this to happen. I use the jawbone up app, only version 4.4 because the latest update broke android wear compatibility. Works perfectly. I'll just wait till google get their act together. Hopefully it'll be soon.

Sync doesnt work properly with messages either if you dismiss it on the watch it still shows on the phone and tablet.

Oh, darn. I really wanted this watch for the fitness features. Bummer that one doesn't work.
edit: So I'm doing some testing and I suppose it really is Fit not syncing. Present my watch indicator for steps (Pujie Black, that is supposed to be connected to Fit) says 2282. Google Fit (app on watch and phone) says 2223. I just left my phone and walked around the office a bit. Indicator didn't change from 2282, but when I opened the Fit app on my watch I saw it quickly change from 2223 to 2249 and then back to 2223. Phone also says 2223. That is incredibly frustrating.

permissions off?
try going into the settings and then permissions, i found that in the permissions menu google fit did not have permission to access the sensors, this could possibly be the problem

Endomondo not syncing my runs

Hi there,
I bought Sony Smartwarch 3 primarily for tracking my jogging while listening to music, because at my new job I can't upload music to the phone or install any apps and I don't have 'private' phone (I've Xperia Z4 Tablet, which is too big to run with).
While the experience of running without phone is great, the standalone Endomondo app usually fails to upload my training to the servers. I've set my Endomondo to use watch's GPS so I just go outside - without the phone - and start tracing the run as soon as GPS finds the fix. After I'm back the watch connects to the tablet, but nothing happens. Out of maybe 6 runs just one uploaded correctly and I have no idea what I'd done differently. Is there a particular order of actions I should follow for this to work? Should I run Endomondo on both the tablet and watch before starting the run, so that they somehow "know" that I expect them to connect afterwards? Are there any other equivalent apps that are more consistent and reliable? I hear good things about Ghostracer but it looks very amateurish
Thanks in advance for any tips!

I tried Ghostracer yesterday and I'm sticking to that - despite hideous talet UI it at least communicates to the user what's going it, i.e. it tells you it will end the recording and save the data and then actually uploads them to the app on the tablet, from where I can export it to file & import to Endomondo. Quite a roundabout way to get there, but at least it seems bulletproof.

Same thing is happening to me, I am desperate. Don't know what else to do. I have already did a factory reset to the watch and the phone, same thing happens.
I sent an email to endomondo support but they haven't answered yet.
I don't want to use another app, because I've been using endomondo for several years already and I really like it.
Any clues?

Well, there's this site: https://tapiriik.com/ which lets you sync your trainings between various services (e.g. Endomondo, RunTastic, Strava),so what I did I copied my trainings from Endomondo to Strava and connected the Ghostracer app to Strava so it uploads automatically.
Alternatively, if you really don't want to leave Endomondo, you can simply run with Ghostracer and - from the phone/tablet app - export the .gpx or .tpx files and import them to Endomondo (via their web-page, I don't think it's possible via app) which works very good. Also, you can use Ghostracer, have it upload your training automatically to Strava or Runkeeper and then use the website I mentioned above to sync that (automatically, if you're willing to donate few $ to its creator) with Endomondo.
Probably not the answers you were looking for, but hope that helps
I don't think Endomondo will care enough for standalone GPS watches to fix this, which is a shame but that how it works.

hey antic604, thank you so much. I have tried tapiriik, it works great!
I have just received a reply from endomondo, at least they accept there is an issue, I am going to ask for an ETA now.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting Endomondo Support.
We appreciate your feedback. We are aware of this issue and our developers are currently looking into it.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm happy I could help
Also, it turns out Tapiriik has an app in Google Play Store, which should make the process even easier
I'm afraid the reply from Endomondo is a template, generic answer to any complaint they get, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Would be glad if they fixed it, though
Please post in this thread if you get more info from them.

Totally Offtopic, so sorry at first!
But how did you get endomondo installed on SWR50?
Following the guide on endomondo homepage i get stucked on "live manager" which is named different now ...
Any actual tutorial somewhere?
THX!

There's no separate installation happening on the watch itself - you just install the app on your phone / tablet and it should appear on the watch as well (if it's synced with your primary device).

First i could not see it in mini-launcher. Now I fond it in stock and after endomondo download it showed up in mini as well. Thanks!
