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)
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.
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.

Google play crashes on brand new nexus 7

I am on my second nexus 7 now. The first one had a bad microphone and it did not work at all. I exchanged it and got a new nexus 7 which has a working microphone, but right out of the box several apps crash like google play, gallery, and camera. Factory reset doesnt work, not does clearing the cache and app data for google play. Also apps like google drive tell me I don't have any external storage. I also am unable to copy any files to the tablet by connecting it to my computer. The storage comes up as unknown in size and when I go to copy files the window pops up to show it is being copied, but it never actually copies the file.

I got my third nexus 7 and it worked fine. All of them came from Office Depot in Tulsa Oklahoma. Interestingly enough I got the last one in three of the five stores in my area. I was told by one person that there had been some returns there as well because of defects. I think I should go get a lottery ticket or something because getting two bad tablets in a row has to be some kind of luck.

Yea sucks. Make sure to test NFC and Wireless Charging. I've heard of some issues with those not working. My 32gb seems great and everything works (knock on wood). Are most of the problems on the 16gbs or 32gbs? Some suggested their being a bad batch of memory?
Most importantly is that there seems to be lots of issues surrounding the latest Play Store 4.3.10. Many have dropped back to 4.3.9.
My Google Play doesn't crash, but I'm having problems downloading some apps. I'm having to clear cache in Settings and restart to get them to download/install.

Seems that nfc doesn't work. Wonderful. I don't have a way to test wireless charging. This is ridiculous.

The hot spot for NFC is on the "N". How are you testing it? Do you have some NFC tags? If using another device, make sure both NFC radios are enabled.

For people with problems downloading apps that crashes make sure that you go in tablet Settings, Backup & reset, and uncheck automatic restore. It seems that apps saved under a different version won't load properly. You can set auto restore after.

[Q] Unable to detect country

When I start either WatchON or Samsung Hub, I get a message that says "unable to detect country" or "This device is not supported in your country" and then the app closes.
I should probably mention I live in the United States.
Strangely enough, if I log into the public wifi I can access from my residence, it is fine. Maybe it's just an issue with my regular wifi, but I wouldn't be able to test it with another private connection unless I took my tablet to a friend's house.
Is anyone else having this issue and found a solution for it?

This only happens if you are using a rom not specified for your region , but as long as you you live in the States & your Note has been released for US , this should not show up.

Considering I bought my Note at Best Buy and no one's found a way to root it yet, that can't be the stem of my problem.

Same issue here
The same thing happens to me. I'm also in the US and bought my tablet from Best Buy. It attempts to load Samsung Hub, but then stops and gives me a message that 'this service is not supported in this country'. I attempted to contact Samsung, with as low of expectations add I could muster, and they said I should go to settings, general, app manager, all apps, then force stop it, clear data and restart the Note. Didn't work for me, but luckily I didn't expect it to.

I'm in the UK, and bought my 10.1 from the US. Could this be why I can't watch HD Play Movies? Is it worth flashing the UK firmware via Odin?

I'm having the exact same issue with WatchON and Samsung Hub (Video Only - the Music, Apps, and Books work on Samsung Hub). I get the "unable to detect country" or "this device is not supported in your country" and the app closes.
I also live in the US. I just went down to the Best Buy to talk to the Samsung rep on site and she said she had never heard of it. I was glad I had screen shots to show her (didn't do much good). We powered it up and everything worked great. I got home and AGAIN it gives me the "unable to detect country". I went down to the Apartment public wifi and it works fine again.
I thought it must have something to do with settings on my Linksys wireless router. So I checked and the time setting is correct for Central Time zone. No issues there. Then I tried the Samsung Hub Video and WatchON on my Samsung S4 (with mobile data turned off, Wifi only) and they both work perfect on my home wifi. So its something with the Note 10.1 2014 tablet I guess.
Strange how it works on the public wifi at BestBuy and the Apartment but not on my home network. But yet, my Samsung S4 works fine on any network.
Still looking for a solution.

No luck with support, who clearly are not up to date on the products they sell (though with the sheer amount they do, I can't blame them). After she told me try to change a setting that does not exist on the device, she recommended a factory reset. Having read some other posts about this same issue, I'm not going to waste my time with that. All I'm hoping is for a big update from Samsung or a custom ROM that can help me out.

Retrieve data from LG Quick Memo for a non LG device?

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.
Here's the story:
The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.
What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!
Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!

Even though I never got a response, I figured out my own workaround and I'm so relieved that I'll pay it forward.
The solution that worked for me:
If you had the foresight to sync your memos before you lost screen functionality, then getting them back is as simple as walking into a T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon store and using an LG device on display (or borrowing a friend's). I didn't really think about it, my syncing was more like dumb luck than foresight to be honest, but ANYWAY
Sign into the Quick Memo Plus app on the LG device that you have access to and use your backup/retrieval method of choice. I can confirm that LG G3, G4, G5, and K10 have Quick Memo Plus but there may be other LG devices that will do the job. The only reason that this is an issue is because LG Quick Memo Plus is an app that will only work on some LG devices. It's not available in the Play Store and even if you have the apk, it will not install on non-LG devices. (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, it has something to do with odexes and the LG framework)
Once I was able to view my memos, I went through them one-by-one and copied the most irreplaceable ones to an email draft. Took a few minutes but it was worth it. Be sure to sign out of the display phone/your friend's phone before you leave and be sure that the notes are not viewable even after you sign out. I know that even after I signed out of Google, the memos were still viewable on the display phone, so I had to select them all and delete them from that phone.
I hope that this helps if anyone finds themselves in a similar situation.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA Free mobile app

Instead of hand-copying memos to an email, you can export the entire note collection and email that. It exports to a .lqm file, which is only really openable with QuickMemo+, but it's also in plaintext, so you can open it with a text editor and see your notes. This is a good idea only if you have several dozens of notes you want to recover just need to store the text.

LG QuickMemo+ issue with using other devices
I've been scouring the internet for something that'll let me log into QuickMemo+ online or another app. I came across this & I'm glad I didn't have to spend countless hours looking for a solution! Thank you so much! ??

Why just dont use google keep... That problems is enougs reason not to use anything specific to LG. Like lg backup etc...

Can anyone here pls provide instructions for how to send my entire notes?
I have an LG G7 & I'd like to keep my QuickMemo+ notes for the future in either my gmail or a google type app in case my phone dies. I read the instructions provided by someone in this thread but I am not a techie so they were missing a few "steps for morons" lol that I need. Can anyone dumb it down and write it out more fully? Thank you so much!

Here are some basic instructions

So what you can simply do is extract the .lqm by 7zip or winrar or any app of the sorts you will get a couple of folders which are images, drawings, videos and audios. But what interests us is the memoinfo.jlqm which you can rename the file and changes the extension into a .txt so it'd become memoinfo.txt which can be opened with almost any text viewing app. Now there will be a lot of "garbage" but within the "garbage" the text that was in the memo will be there. And that's it if you want the text but I don't know whether or not the photos or audio files are saved normally or in a proprietary format. Hope this helped.

Question Any idea how to fix being able to print?

Tried uninstalling and installing the hp print app, no matter what any time I try to print from any app it crashes? Any ideas? Running the lastest BVA9 Android 12

Can you print from the native Print function? Might be the HP app doesn't work on 12. I have Epson, so can't test it for you.

I'm pretty sure I've tried that with the same result, I've been through so many combinations! I'll remove the hp app and try again just using the android one.

That's frustrating! I assume you will trying to print different documents and not just the same one? Sometimes, files get corrupted. I had to help a family member recently who received a PDF from work that somehow always stopped printing at the same page and told the printer the paper was jammed (it was not), no matter how many times it was printed and what device it was printed from. I'd never seen anything like it! I told them to request a brand new scan of the document.

Yep it's a pain in the ass alright, I don't even get as far as printing, whenever I ask it to print anything using any app it has a think then crashes.

That sucks. You haven't disabled any services that would affect printing? Have you tried clearing cache and data for the print service? Were you ever able to print with this phone, or did it happen after the update or installing an app or?

I've not had the phone long tbh, I think this is the first time I've tried to print. Don't think I've disabled anything, and not sure what to look for there. Cleared cache on the apps, and on the phone.

Okay. Have you Googled the problem to see if anyone else had a solution? I did that the other day when my Always-On calendar suddenly was on the wrong date (happened after keeping the phone in battery-saving mode during a two-day power outage), and found the solution from years ago where going into the Samsung calendar app (which I don't use) and telling it to lock the time zone worked.

Yeah that was the first port of call, tried a few things and nothing made a difference. I'll keep fiddling away
