hello, i have a Mitsubishi space star(mirage in some parts), the car comes with what i thought was android auto but turned out to be a tablet in a car, not a connected android screen of sorts.
The tablet comes with waze and some other mostly useless apps, and no play store, developer setting, browser or file manager.
My question is how do i install apps on it, i figured out how to get into recovery, but found no "install zip" option.
There is room for an SD card, for the music\image\video player app.
Thanks in advance.

I just received the latest update on the Fire Stick, v.54.1.1.0_user_11041020.
I now can no longer access some menus on the sideloaded settings.apk. I click the bluetooth menu, and it closes out the app. Same with the wireless and data usage menus. So I can't pair up any wireless keyboards now.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled without any luck.
Any workarounds??

Unfortunately, I think the workaround may be to not update...

I am having the exact same issue. Brand new FireStick TV:
Software Version: Fire OS 5.0.3.2 (535062120)
I uploaded using ES Explorer via Cloud and MediaFire.
I noticed that when I push this file up, it shows as taking 4.77 MB, whereas tutorial videos showed something like 4.03 MB or something when you launch from Applications. It's the same Setup.APK that the tutorials use, but somehow gets bloated. I wonder if Amazon is doing something to the file when it is detected upon upload.
Maybe pushing the file in via another method or activating BT settings elsewhere is an option.
Same problem here. Looking for OS 5 compatible settings.apk

I also could not get any settings apk to work on mine (i tried Katkat & Lollipop versions but none worked) & had the same effects as you did, dont think you can use the settings apk with the new OS5 firmware? You cant pair your keyboard/controllers on your stick now i had the same problem on my AFTV2 box (not stick) but i have a usb socket which wouldnt work unless i did these steps bellow.
1. go to settings, deselect ADB Debugging (turn off)
2. plug in the wireless keyboard dongle, wired controller, usb hub or what ever you wanna connect
3. now everything works fine again
I know this is not a fix for your situation but im just letting you know ive also asked about the settings apk in the q&a forum here but had no responce.
Anyone else using a Note7 with Android Auto? At first the connection to my car was intermittently dropping and then it was OK. I have Pandora, Slacker, and Play Music installed on my phone and active but the only one that shows up in the car is Play Music. I haven't played with it yet but there's not much to troubleshoot - they're either there or there not. My Note5 was 100% perfect with Android Auto so it's definitely something on the Note7 side.
No issues so far but I also don't use those two programs. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall those two programs in the meanwhile?

HTC 10 user here, and have the same issues as you.
I stabilized the BT connection by deleting the pairing on my radio and phone, then plugging in the USB C cable and allowing the car to autopair them together.
I have Play Music and Amazon Prime Music installed, both supporting Android Auto. However only Play Music shows up for me. This was the case on my S7E as well, but not my Note 5. At this point I suspect it's related to the SD820 and/or devices shipping from the factory with 6.0.1. I've been through factory resets more times than I can count, and the same thing happens.
Apps that are restored (IE - Smart Switch) are not showing up on AA... You can uninstall/reinstall and they will show back up.
I tested this for naught im sure while in the chickfila drive thru....

Oh well, Play Music it is. You can open apps from Recent Apps and Pandora and Slacker play fine through the car when controlled from the phone. But the steering wheel controls don't work. So we can only hope that (in my case) when AT&T pushes an update out in six months it gets fixed. It would be great if the Android Auto app on the phone could be the fix but if the problem's been around since the S7e it's unlikely that alone is the issue.

This is interesting, and I'll have to test this when I get back home tomorrow. From the look of your Hazard button, you have a Sonata like me, and I do restore apps through Google on device setup, or Titanium (app only, no data).
Why yes.... I love my Sonata Limited.

I've got all 3 of these on my phone and all work fine from the start in AA. The only AA issue I've encountered is that when on a call I can't figure out how to get it to show the dialer pad. When on a conf. call I get options like to tap *60 to stop the God awful wait music and to hit # after I announce my name. It's weird. I think it's that AA hasn't had an update in a bit so the dialer from the Note 7 isn't fully recognized. I dunno. But 99% of AA works for me.
BTW. I'm using a Pioneer 8100NEX which I doubt makes a diff as the AA server that the phone app connects to is the same in every car on the market and the head unit itself runs Android 4.4.2 just as my wife's '16 Accord does.

Uninstall Android Auto and delete your Bluetooth pairing. Then make sure Google TTS is set to the default on your phone, if Samsung TTS is trying to interfere, you will have this issue. If you cannot disable Samsung TTS, you may need to use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store to do it for you. I had to do it on my Note 5, but not the S7 Edge.
Once that is done, reinstall Android Auto and then let the USB connection do the pairing for you.

Hi, i have a problem with Play Music app after AW 2.0 update. On 1.5 i was able to download music to my watch by selecting Play Music from watch and then "Play on wear" which showed all the albums i have on my phone or selecting Play Music from my phone and in the settings there was a Android wear section and there was "manage downloads" but neither is now available on 2.0 :/ So you can't download music to your watch anymore or is it changed and i just can't figure out how to do it now with 2.0? Please, can someone help me?
Btw, all my music are transferred by using PC from my original cd's to my phone so no albums bought from Google Play. Maybe after AW 2.0 update, downloading music to my watch only supports music bought straight from Google Play which would suck
I am very interested in this also since I use the smartwatch to listen to music directly from it with Bluetooth Headphones when I'm at the gym. If it doesn't work I won't be updating it.
Seriously guys, no one else uses Play Music to download some tracks to their Huawei Watch from phone? Why the hell it was changed in AW 2.0 since it worked so well on 1.5?

Yesterday I opened Play Music HW App.
Now it works really close to the one on the smartphone...
It is possible to stream music via wifi or to download music directly from your smartwatch. (wifi or bluetooth).
To download a song, a album or a Playlist you just need to press and hold for 1 second the icon of your selection .. .so the download will start..
I verified that if you are not charging your smartwatch it is possible that the download pauses...
This morning after charge I had the info on my smartwatch that all albums have been downloaded.. and they work without problems
It works differently now. Android Police summarized it:

Hi, searching for a solution I founded 2 options: if you use Google Play Music you have to create an account and suscribe for about 25 dollars/year and it works fine. Another option is to install Wear Media from the Play Store and it works like the old play music, you can download your music to your wacth, it also works fine. Wear Media also have the shuffle option!

Wear Media is an app you install both on the smartphone and on the watch? Is it free?

Well, that's really stupid :/ I hope Google brings back the sideloading feature with later updates. I'm definitely not gonna subscribe to Play Music! I have over 200 original music cd's that i rip to my PC and then transfer to my smartphones.

Hi! Yes its free! Download it to your phone and it installs in your watch. Then in your phone you select what music you transfer to your watch.
At least there are such skilled devs that can fix what mighty Google frakked up..

Hello
I am new to your site, so i hope this is ok to post here.
Please help........I fell for a beautiful all singing all dancing Sony SW2 on ebay, unfortunatly Sony tell me that the SW2 is a no longer a product supported by Sony and that is why the Smart Connect app is available but not the Sony Smartwatch 2 Host. The watch does say it is connected to my Xperia L3 and vise versa but it is not responsive at all to the phone. and if i turn the watch off then on again it just asks me for the SW2 host again.
Is there a way of over riding the watches request for the host app or have i just paid £42 for a lovely looking calculater watch?
Thank you all in advance.
Louise
My backup
https://drive.google.com/open?id=19fpunzmYzcuImAPNkOJbWB2TYD3Vp0QJ
Thank you
Thank you very much for the download.
I have downloaded to my google chrome laptop am somehow from putting it in drive then managed to transfer it to my phone. Now i have it i am still unsure on which apps are best to download for the SW2 and also how to do so, so if you would you be so kind as to help me further iwould be most greatful.
Thank you,
Louise
You can search "sony sw2" on the playstore. There are still many apps
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sony sw2&c=apps
Hi
I still face the same issue, even I installed the apk you gave us, i cannot open it or launch it What can I do it's for a gift
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Same issue here. Just gave it to my son. He has OnePlus 3. Sony actually hosts the APK file on their site, but when I install it, you can only hit "Done", as "Open" is grayed out. There is nothing in the app drawer, and nothing under internal storage/Android/data
Master app is the "Sony Smart Connect" the "Smartwatch SW2" app is only a plugin for the master app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware
But not all "Smart Connect App" works with all phone/watch/plugin. I must often install older Smart Connect Version depend of phone and Android version. Not special rules, I must try differents versions from my differents backup until it works. It is the game with older device and older software on older or newest phone and OS
I just found this site and downloaded your backup but how do I get it to my smartwatch2? I tried plugging the usb cord from the watch to my pc but nothing registers under "My Computer" to be able to transfer a file?
Is there any apps/extensions who still works on Sony smartwatch 2? I just have the five basic apps(alarm, flashlight, calculator, stop watch and timer. I have tried to install several apps/extensions but nothing have been synced to the watch so that I could use them
Almost all works. Just need use old Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 plugin.
I use Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001
and Smartwatch 2 app V 1.6.31
this works on Android 11
Hello everyone! Extensions don't seem to show on the app after being installed. I'm using a Galaxy A50 on Android 10 / OneUI 2.5, any clue?

You're a lifesaver. Just got it working on android Q. Thanks!
If it helps anyone : I had installed first the Sony Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001, then tried connecting to the watch, then installed the apk Smartwatch2 app V1.6.31 from Sony's website.
It did not work, even after a reboot, because the Smart connect was still trying to install the plugin.
I removed and reinstalled the Sony Smart Connect app and rebooted the phone : it recognized the plugin automatically.
So I would say : try installing the SmartWatch2 host apk first, then the Smart Connect app from the store.

I bought this watch 2 days ago, having a nightmare with it. Hours and hours trying to make it work at my Samsung 10. Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch App installed and paring with the phone. The problem is that as I could search on the web, the native apps provided in Sony's website just work with Sony smartphones. At the end of the day it is a useless smartwatch if you expect it to at least have the Calling Function.
hello,
I own vw polo 2019 with an android head unit, with a launcher installed by the dealer.
it hides a lot of apps including settings.
about a year ago I was able to somehow download play store and install some apps, but after an update the play store and the apps Ive downloaded are gone (idk if deleted or just hidden because of the launcher).
now, I heard there is a way to access the web browser via the Waze app (if anyone has a different way I’ll be glad), and install the store again.
but my problem starts here - I no longer have data connection in my car, meaning I need to connect it to hotspot, but since I can’t access the settings app, I can’t do it.
I don’t know much about android since I have an iPhone, so is there anyone who knows how to access settings, and install play store again? and better - change the launcher so I will not have to do it all the time?
thanks!
