Sync step count with phone - LG G Watch

Is there a way to get the step counter on the watch to sync with the phone? I have an LG G3 and it would be nice if it could sync with the LG G-Health app.

I agree, I don't understand why the 2 aren't syncing with each other

LG COULD incorporate that right now, but I'm sure they're waiting until Google Fit has officially been released. Otherwise they'll just have to re-work it all after release.

Switching ROMs broke my push notifications

Lately I've been trying many different roms and recently fixed my Facebook notification (via BB simulator method) and Pageonce (by enabling email notifications) but after I flashed a new rom they stopped working. On Google Music I had a message "too many devices enabled" so I checked it out and and my S2 was listed multiple times (for all the roms) as variations of i777 & i9100
Is it possible my notifications aren't working because the apps think they are working on "other devices"

Check if you can remove devices from Google Music, no idea about FB I never had problems.

Yes, but the point he's trying to make is that Google made no error, especially since you could remove devices.

Fitbit app

My wife gave me a Fitbit for Christmas (Apparently, she wants me to get off my butt more and move around!)
The Fitbit is a small wearable device that measures your activity level, etc. The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth 4.0 to sync with the device. The sync function is working with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, which is setup with a custom ROM. The app does not sync on the G Pad using stock firmware.
According to the specs I see, the G Pad is supposed to have support for BT 4.0. I don't have any other devices that use it.
Does anybody here have a Fitbit device? I'm curious to know if anybody has tried to sync one on a G Pad with different firmware. Or on a GPE device. It might be that it would work on a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM.
I have a GPE and the app syncs fine with my Flex. I did, however, participate in the Fitbit beta program when they were testing for devices other than the Galaxy series (namely Nexus and Motorola devices with BT 4.0). My Fitbit app is version 1.8.4 if that helps. Here's the link to the beta program: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZVjMd9JsDyo45g7uUV60clx7D780ouDka-wgNwvqxmA/viewform
Yes, I was playing with my new fitbit all day yesterday and unless you have one of their devices that is currently known to be compatible you have to be signed up for the Beta program. I am currently running android 4.4 with the cyanogenmod.
I signed up for the Beta by joining the google group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fitbit-android-sync-beta
Which allows you to go to: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fitbit.FitbitMobile
Where you click become a tester. You then need to uninstall the fitbit app, clear the cache for the google play store (I used Clean Master to do this), and reinstall the fitbit app. You will now have the beta version of the app and when you login it will automatically find and start syncing to your fitbit. Note that by default the background syncing is turned off. If you want to be able to do this you have to enable it under devices.
Indeed LG gpad Hardware supports bt4. You need 4.3+ Android for bt4. I tried it with cm and it works.
If you want stock experience, then you have to wait for the Kitkat release.
Forgot to add : I tried it with a polar h7 bt4 heart rate monitor. Works great.
Not necessarily true regarding needing 4.3. They do support the LG G2 which is still on 4.2 stock. Im using it with mine and it syncs fine to the G2. I've never tried syncing to my G Pad tho

Good to know. I might check the fitbit after all.
Unfortunately the polar h7 doesn't want to pair with my Stock LG g2. It is after 4.3 that Android provides platform support to bt4. The solution that LG and Samsung used in the lower api levels apparently doesn't pay nice with all hardware.

Correct. The Fitbit app syncs on my Galaxy S3, which is using a custom rom running Android 4.1.2. That version doesn't support Bluetooth 4.0., so I think they must have it working with Bluetooth 3 on some devices.

I have an LG Lucid 2 running 4.1.2 on a custom rom and while the tech specs say it has bluetooth 4.0 I can't get it to sync. It doesn't even look like the beta version is installing at all but I don't know how to tell for sure.

Looks to me like the app checks to see what device it's installed on and the sync features are only enabled for certain devices. On the G Pad, I can check my my dashboard, etc., but I can't sync or interact with the tracker. On the S3, the app lets me sync and do other things.
I've no way of trying this myself but to you guys who say that you should have support for BT4.0, you could try and trick the device that will not sync. Go into the build.prop and take the ro buildnumber and name and so on and change them to the same of a device that you are certain it works with. If the the Fitbit is checking up against a buildnumber or model number, chances are it's from the build.prop. And could be funny if you could actually trick it just by making your phone into something else. ^^ (That is if BT4 is supported as said.)

That's a really good idea. I have double and triple checked the specs for my phone and it does say Bluetooth 4.0. I think I'll try this since it worked for me tricking QPair into thinking my gpad was a v510. Thanks!

Hmm, trying to edit build.prop on my phone does not seem to be working. Neither ES File Explorer, nor 920 Text Editor, are able to edit/rename/save anything to build.prop or in /system. It says is a read only file system.

Ah, rule number one of flashing KitKat: When done go to play store and get supersu, run it and let it update the binary. Choose normal, not CWM\TWPR. Let it finish the install, takes10 secs or so. Restart and tadaa root. It has to be done on all devices for now. Go into supersu after reboot and find Settings and then untick "Respect CM superuser bleh bleh."
Good luck.

My phone is running a custom 4.1.2 Rom called Lucidian. Would this still apply to that? I have superuser already working on it. And on my gpad running 4.4.2 cm11 I didn't have to do that to get root.

And you have tried build.prop and it worked on your G Pad with CM 11? Funny, I had to do it on two different devices and just assumed I would have to on the G Pad as well. Now 4.1 i don't recall had any root issues, beats me why you can't edit the system on that one. Anyways, sounds like an incomplete root, like what happened in ICS 4.0 on the first Galaxy Note. Gave root but didn't do it for the full system..

Google Hangout Notifications not working since 5.0 OTA

Recently upgraded via OTA
Since then I no longer receive notifications from messages, video chat invites, etc. The only way I can see if I have new messages is to open a conversation. No notification light, sounds, or popups.
I have factory reset twice and have made sure hangouts is in the priority app list.
Anyone have any ideas?

That is the known issue called the "wireless sync bug", which happens with the latest OTA update 23C. I've had that happen with Hangouts/Inbox/Gmail, so I flashed the phone back to 10B then took OTA's up to 12B, to stay on Android 4.4.2.
Ugh, what a nightmare. I knew I shouldn't have updated haha...
I really did not want to get into the rooting/flashing stuff ... looks like I have no choice.

Just use the LG FlashTool to return to the 10B update, then take two OTA's to get you up to 12B. No need to root or anything to do that. You'll wipe your entire phone though, so if you do go this route, make sure you save any photos/music/files you want to keep.
No real point to upgrading from 10b though, is there. The only real changes were the addition of the buggy Advanced Calling VoLTE capability that drops calls often, right ?
I have had a LOT of experience with Verizonz updates, and I really believe their secret true intent is to encourage their customers to sign up for a new two year contract with Verizon in order to get a discount on a new phone.

e.sync (Exchange calendar sync) [Request]

Wonder if anyone can help, about 8 month ago there's a free software on the PlayStore called e.sync that can preform one/two-way sync with Exchange server on the calendar. However, my phone was stolen and now I believe either the app or the author has pulled off the store.
Anyone by chance still has the apk or another other alternative that allow me to sync just Exchange calendar?
Yeah. I was looking for it too the other day to put on my new phone. Might have to pull the apk and transfer via Drive to the new one. I wonder what happened.

as far as I know this is actually server-side so you have to wait until you are "unlocked" by the server

In the newer Messenger versions, the "Save Photos" option was removed.
Even when installing an older messenger version where had it this option, it is missing.
But with a modified APK, this option has not yet been removed to me.
Maybe it's not fully server-side or ?!

If you uninstall a messenger and then install it again, have you got the new design again?
Whether or not you get the re-design is entirely server-side on Facebooks end. They have stated you won't need to update the app at all, it'll just be enabled for your account in the background and then you will have it.
There's no way to get the re-design through an updated app as of yet. They do roll back some people who get it when they shouldn't.
You just have to wait. It's rolling out in waves.
