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.

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.
Just got my HTC Desire today and everything is working fine apart from the android market. I have 3 problems:
1) I don't have the paid apps tab only top free and just in. I can see paid apps within the just in section, but not top paid apps.
2) When I clock on the install button I get a blank screen with just the background gui showing for at least 10-20 seconds before the confirmation screen that shows what permissions the app needs is finally shown.
3) Apps install correctly however they never get removed from the "currently downloading" list in the Downloads section of the android market.
I got the phone through virgin mobile and I am currently using a t-mobile sim in it. I have tried doing a factory reset which didn't solve the problem.
Anyone had any similar issues?
Liam
Please search before posting.
Your problems will be solved by removing t-mobile content lock. It can be done through their website or by calling customer service.
One problem will remain though: so far no one can see copy-protected apps because market is not recognizing our build number. It should be solved soon though.
Hi,
The phone actually came from Virgin Mobile, but for the moment I am using my old T-Mobile sim which used to be in my G1 which didn't have any problems with the market. I seem to remember de-activating the content lock when I used the browser for the first time on my g1.
I just checked on my t-mobile account details and I definitely have the content lock turned off.
I still have the same problem with the market, i.e. I get about 20 seconds of blank screen after clicking install before the permission confirmation details come up.
And after an app is installed it still shows in the download section as installing with the grey progress bar and doesn't disappear unless I go to the settings/Applications and clear the cache in download manager, market and force close the market app.
Anyone have any similar problems? I have done a full factory reset three times, still the same problems.
Liam
I just got mine, its a open one unbranded. I can neither connect to gtalk or download apps, both hang. I have read similar problems for the Droid, but the fixes dont work for me.
Also can you connect the device to the internet via the PC, like windows mobile ?
That's odd. My problems were solved by removing content lock.
Does the same thing happen on WiFi? Did you try to restart the device?
Regarding PC to phone tethering, it's not possible over USB. There are guides on how to do it over WiFi though.
Its the same for me : confirmed that content lock is off.
and still have this problem.
On Tmobile, upgraded from G1, same sim.
I get this on wifi or not.
If I restart the device, the Market Place states its installed correctly (like it should do). But installing another shows the same problem.
I've done a Factory Reset via the menu and that did solve it.
And I've just phoned tmo tech support, and they recommend resetting via fastboot.
I'll give that a go later, and post back the results.
Any other ideas?
Its really weird. Yesterday at a different wifi location it worked fine. But again its not working in work. I assume then the downloads are being blocked by the service provider, or the router.
Thats really crap you cannot connect to the internet via the USB cable like in windows mobile. I cant get my data service working either - so in work I have to work.
ok, I did a clear storage from the fastboot menu, I assumed that what he meant, had no effect.
but figured it out!!!!!!
its my gmail/Google account thats the problem! if I reset the phone and created a new account it works fine. log back in as me, bang. back as previously created new account, fine.
1. is this the same for other people?
2. the people who are having this problem, are you all previous Android users?
3. if so, what phone? me was G1.
I will have to raise a bug with android or google on this.
I now also have to ring back tmo and tell them this info, as I'm guessing by his language he want to take the phone back in.

Beware that while most apps like gmail, calendar, contacts, etc work using port 80 (HTTP), both google talk and android market use different ports.
In my school network I can't connect to gtalk or download from market because they block those ports on the firewall.
I previously had a g1 and think the problems I was having had something to do with my gmail account but it seemed to resolve itself after several factory resets.
I am not convinced that the factory reset was what fixed it, I just think it needed a bit of time to sort itself out.
I wonder if having a new device with the same gmail account causes the issue and it takes a while to recognise the new device. though that doesn't really explain the behaviour I was seeing.

I cannot find a way around this.
My google account shows the slowness and install problems, a test/temp/dummy/other account does not, I do not want to change my email address!
So I have emailed Google, see where that gets me.
Anyone know/think-of any other routes?

I am having problems with the Market on my new Desire. I previously had a G1.
1. When I select Downloads tab, it takes about 10 seconds before the loading text is displayed.
2. When selecting something to install, the 1st info page with the install button is displayed but with no info/text/etc, ie only the install button, again about a 10sec wait and the info shows fine.
3. When selecting install, the security confirm page is displayed but is blank, no text or buttons, another 10secs and its displayed.
4. If I actually go to install an app, it correctly redirects me back to the last market list page. From there if I go to Downloads, after the 10sec wait, it always states "installing", even when its finished, and pushed a notification up.
I can use the app, but the market always states installing. Even hours after. These all queue up and never clear.
Only rebooting the phone clears the installing app, and correctly marks them as installed.
5. Uninstalling app cannot be completed at all. I select uninstall, and it pops up the confirmation box, but then displays a blank page, and after the 10 or so seconds, displays the "Uninstalling application" with progress bar, but never completes. Again only a reboot corrects this.
All this occurs for any app.
I have done many Factory Resets from software, and Clear Storage from Fastboot.
Interestingly, my phone works corrected with a new account, I reset the phone and instead of signing in with my usual account, I created a new one, this worked very fast and correctly. Signing back in with my normal account again showed the same problems.

same problem here, gone from a G1 to HTC desire not tryed to sign up with a new account simply becasue i had the xxxx.xxxgmail mail now for over 18 months and rely on it.
All I know is that the day after I got my Desire, probably about 24 hours after first turning it on (and after 4 factory resets which may have nothing to do with it) I was installing an app, which had the same problems i.e. delayed permissions screen, remaining in the download screen even after being installed succesfully, then a few minutes later I went to install another app and it was fine, no delay, suddenly I had the Top Paid apps tab and apps did not remain in the download section as still downloading. It has been fine ever since.
It seems that all of us who have this problem have had G1s previously so it must be something to do with that.
I experienced this issue with my new desire but not one with older rom. Both from T-Mobile. The funny thing was first day it was running pretty slow, could not view paid apps either but now it is much faster as it should be and paid apps have appeared too. So it's working brilliantly.
i have market problems too... i cant see many market apps, including paid apps which i bought..
it's a free desire with vodafone spain sim.

That's a different issue, apparently Google have not yet added the HTC Desires "fingerprint" to some kind of database that enables access to apps with copy protection, this is why some apps you have previously purchased won't show up.
Apparently this happens with all new handsets, though why Google don't get this resolved before the phones release I don't know, as it doesn't give a great experience to the end user (HTC say they sent the fingerprint well before the phone was released but google haven't processed it yet).
Hopefully this should be resolved soon. Until then I have had to extract a few of my more regularly used protected apps from my G1 with root.
But it happens to me with free apps too.

Any application developer can choose to use copy protection, some free apps choose to do that.
My experiences with Google wallet have been strange. Here's a run down:
Attempt 1
Went to Macy's, took about 4 tries before it went through.
Attempt 2
Went to meijer, got an error saying card reader could not be detected. I tried several times before giving up.
Attempt 3
Went to 7-11, no problems whatsoever.
Attempt 4
Went back to meijer tried a different checkout lane then the last time. No problems.
Attempt 5
Meijer, one more time went to the SAME lane as the time it worked. Didn't work this time got that error again saying couldn't detect card reader.
Is anyone else's this inconsistent? I don't understand. I unlock my phone, hold it up to the machine until it says sent. Any suggestions? Why is it like this? Everyone else stories I read say it works flawlessly or it doesn't work at all.

are you using any particular case, did you update the app to the newest build?
Any errors I've encountered could be chalked up to one of two things. Either the pad was not turned on/not connected (make sure there is a green light on the pad), or the network is down\you dont have a network connection.
The network has been somewhat spotty for me over the last day or two. Today it was down for almost 2 hours. An easy way to tell if the network is down is to look at the app, select payment cards, then choose the card you are using. I use the google prepaid card, tap it and at the bottom under userid if there is a number you are connected to the network.. If the network is down or you do not have connectivity you will see something that says "can't connect to bank". You can not make a purchase if you do not see your userid, I always open the app now and check while I'm waiting in line.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot(checking the user id) that sounds like it could be helpful.
@nyplaya
no, I don't have a case and I don't know if I have the latest updated version. I haven't checked because I didn't want to update and become a victim of the secure element error. I'm not exactly sure what the cause is and didn't want to risk it. But if its safe to do so, how do I find out if I have the latest version and where would I get it?

you can do one of two things, follow the OP here:
Or you can try my little faster method: not sure if it is for the paid version only but if you download and install the APK of wallet, then use the app appmonster to backup the app, you can then simply select it in appmonster to view in the market and it bi-passes the restriction of the carriers in the normal market app it allows updating
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.

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.

Guy's,
I've installed the new Homeup APK and Nicelock on my Ultra and it work perfect.
Did the same on my Plus and when I want to use the app via Nicelock I get the following message pop up:
"Homeup disabled because One UI Home is not supported"
Ofcourse I've rebooted my devices several times, uninstalled the app several times etc but nothing works. Only get this pop up but Homeup app wont start.
Someone an idea how to solve the issue?
UPDATE: had to update ONE UI to the latest version and then it worked. Issue Solved.
