So I just picked up my V30 the other day from T-Mobile and connected it to my Uconnect radio in my Fiat 500L. I noticed immediately that no metadata (track information) is being displayed on the radio while using Google Play Music. I tried disconnecting bluetooth and using the USB to direct connect and it still doesn't show the metadata either. Music is still playing and the play/pause/skip all still work fine, just blank screen for track info. Super annoying.
Note that this has worked with every phone I've owned, including my wifes Note 8.
Interesting though, metadata shows when using any other app, including youtube. Just doesn't work with Google Play Music.
I've read around the net and on Reddit of other people having the same problem and even having the same issue on the LG G6. Wondering is this is an issue with Android N.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
I have the same issue with my BMW connectdrive when using Google Play Music. Metadata does not show up but i can see the next and previous track (if that doesn't glitch out) and also can choose songs in the playlist.
I had meta data show up once. When i set in GPM 'auto play when connected to Bluetooth' to off and turning off/on the bluetooth. I also have the phones bluetooth crash the screen when GPM is in a state where it has the notification to control music but hasn't been used in a while (i'm guessing it is no longer in memory).
Hopefully Oreo will have an updated driver and fix the issues.
I think what frustrates me the most about this phone is that it reminds me of old school Android and the problems it had with performing simple tasks. Honestly, I came out of the Note 8 (which worked flawlessly) because I wanted something a little smaller and the V30 just seemed really nice.
I've noticed that this phone has issues even reconnecting to my car through bluetooth when I start it up. This is basic features that smartphones have been doing for YEARS.
Unless Oreo comes out in the next few weeks, I'll probably hang onto it just long enough until the S9 comes out and grab that with my jump on demand through T-Mobile.
Any one else having all these issues with their bluetooth?
I am having this issue along with a million people over here in the Google play forum (mods forgive me if I'm not allowed to link) https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/?noredirect=true#!topic/play/pe09bdRfZgM
Does anyone know how we can get a developer's attention to this issue? I'm willing to share log files to contribute to fixing this. LG is ignoring my requests for help via Twitter support account DM

I tried to report this problem to LG
I tried to notify LG of this same problem by contacting LG customer service. I was told that this was not a known problem and that I would have to send in my LG G6 for them to investigate. The agent refused to report the problem or do anything about it unless I sent in my phone. My LG phone transmits metadata just fine using Pandora. iPhone works fine with Google Music. This problem seems to occur only on LG phones using Google Music. But LG doesn't care. I doubt there will be a fix, other than getting rid of my LG phone.

I received the 8.0 Oreo update on my v30+. Now the startup splash says v30+ThinQ and metadata is fixed. It also has AI cam features. There are some strange changes with notifications though, I don't know if they're a bug or I need to change more settings..

Hi,
Has anyone tried this before? I works very well on my touch HD. The integrates a price comparator does quite a good job. It even allows you to search locally using gps. However, recognition is not perfect. For example when I scan the barcode of 'Canon BCI-3eBK inkjet cartridge', it finds 'Canon PGI5BK inkjet cartridge'. Furthermore it shows me a picture of a shoe instead of the product figure.
The software is also able to recognize different kinds of tags which it does a perfect job.

This is definitely the best barcode scanner I ever used and I would absolutely recommend it.
Link mobiletag.
Tested it on HTC touch HD, wm 6.1 original rom NL
Dont work in LEO
Camara failed!
A workaround for the camera has been reported. There are some people who got it to work after activating the camera separately. That is, first start Mobiletag, start the camera trough the home screen and switch back to mobiletag.
Hope it helps. For the best recognition you have to scan very near the barcode. So I don't think devices without autofocus will work properly. Furthermore, it only seems to capture on daylight or other circumstances with propriate light condition.
So weird... I had a really hard time finding the correct version of this for my phone, and an even harder time getting it to work!
I tried the Touch Pro 2 version of it first since that is what I have (CDMA Sprint branded), and it seemed to load a QVGA version... so I tried the Diamond 2 version, and it sort of loaded the camera but didn't look anything like the screenshots here and wouldn't recognize the barcodes. Also, it was not in English.
Finally, I selected the Touch HD version, and I got what you see here and it worked... sort of. It would identify the barcode, then freeze. I turned off the option to search by GPS location proximity, and then it seemed to work OK.
Neat app, but like this it only seem useful for comparing against online services like amazon. The GPS nearby store search would have been cool.

Going to the website it only seems to list ancient HTC devices. when you say you selected the diamond 2 version where are you looking? under HTC it lists supported devices as Startrek, s710, s620, Prophet & Meteor.
I would be happy to try out the diamond 2version if I could locate it

Just use the mobile version of the website:
http://m.mobiletag.com/go/tag_english
would be sweet but it isn't geared for the US.
Anyone know of a good US version?
Kinda annoying
....having to select HTC Touch Pro2 every single time I open the program(even if I already click on the "Remember This Choice"
Works well.
Overall, cool program to play with.
I'm trying it on my Touch HD. It scans the barcode ok but then I get Server Error when it try to look it up. That is with GPS either enabled or disabled. Ideas ?
These guys seem to have problems with their servers. 3 out of 4 times I got an connection error.
Also while it says it uses shops from your location it still shows me amazon.com and not amazon.de
I just hope Shop Savvy finally releases the Windows Mobile version, it´d be the first windows mobile app that I buy.
Working on my blackstone,but after scanning most of the times gives the message "cannot retrieve data,check your internet parameters".
Possibly their servers problem?

Mobiletag for windows mobile??
I've tested it on my HTC touch HD and it does everything it's supposed to do well but, big big problem: it eats my battery in about two days!!!
I've closed it after every try, I've run Sktools and nothing seems to have being running or remained resident after exiting the program, but the fact is that after removing it everything got back to normal.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Anybody outside US got this searching local websites?
I chose £ for UK in settings but only get US sites.
great app , but...
great app, but too many server error and no local DB support !!!!
scans and decoce better and faster than BarcodeZilla....
( on my OMNIA II )
maybe with litlle hack - add support for local DB - and mobiletag is the best !
I was looking for a way to stream my media on the go. I tried VLC, but that was too buggy, orb was too slow and then I came across TVersity which works great.
You can access it with the webinterface when you are on the road. It works very good on the A101, but it is lacking some features. So I wondered if there is an apk available with some more features. If there isn't I think I am going to write one or adjust the webinterface.

I had some time this weekend and am almost done with writing my own app and webinterface for android to access the Tversity webserver.
If there is interest in this, I will develop it further, so that it is end user ready. If not I just fit it to my needs and I am done with it.
The program is a small apk that needs to be installed on the archos and some webfiles that needs to be copied to the server where Tversity is installed.
Maurice
I'm definitely interested!
me too on archos 10.1 and 7.0
love to get this app too
Nice work divx118!
Shame TVersity don't have a linux alternative. I do believe there is one in the works though, so I'll be keeping an eye on your project... if you undertake it that is.

Unfortunately there is indeed no linux or mac version available. For now it is windows only.
If I find some time next weekend I will see if I get a beta version ready no promisses though. For serving videos I have it almost ready. There are however some issues with streaming audio when you are not on the local network. With some files the music player on my 101 will crash. I think it is the long url that is the problem I had no time to investigate if this is indeed true. I myself will not use music streaming, but I see if it is possible to solve this.
For video files I have thumbnail support, with a work a round. It needs the thumbnail with the same name as your videofile in a folder where also my webcontrol will be.
If you however have XBMC installed it is just a few minutes work todo this. I am also looking if I can get it to work for the parent folders, now it is only working for the video files itself.
Maurice
very interested, i already use tversity for 360 streaming.
I'm interested also!
I'm interested as well...
I am still working on it. My free time is however limited. That is why it is taken so long. Atleast this weekend I have some time available.
A little update on what still needs to be done and what is ready before a first release:
1) creating the APK to install on your archos. This is ready and is working for videofiles streaming. TODO for the APK is cleaning up the code and put in some error catching. Also I still have to decide if I use a new intent to play audio files or integrate the mediaplayer in the apk. For videos I use a new intent, this means it will start the default videoplayer for playing your videofiles. For audio this didn't work so well in my testing.
For handling the pictures I decided to do that entirely in the webcontrol, which is much easier.
2) The webcontrol is also almost ready. TODO is integration of pictures viewing like a slideshow etc.
The features are pretty simple. You can add two urls in the apk one for if your are on your local network and on for when you are on the road. Further you can adjust the number of items that will be displayed in one view. I tested with 100 items and it was very fast.
You can choose between thumbnail view and listview for pictures and a seperate item view setting when in thumbnail view.
If you have anymore features that should be added you can just post a reply with your suggestions.
Maurice
thanks for this.
the default video player isn't cutting it for me.
Can't wait to test this out when it's released
ditto, can't wait to test it out!
Hi,
Try Qloud Video, it is same as 'AirVideo' on iPhone,
search it in market and you will surprise.
Leo
Any chance we can get a look at your current app? I am dying to get my hands on it. If not such is the way of life.
Interested, this would be awesome to have.
Just a little update:
Playing audio in the apk is ready. Audioplayer is pretty simple start, pause, next song, previous song and shuffle the playlist. You can also click on a song in the playlist. Only playing mp3 gives sometimes a scrambled output. It seems to be an archos issue.
You can use a horizontal swipe to switch between audioplayer and the webview.
I also want the same implementation for images, because displaying them in the webview is a bit slow. That is what I am working on right now.
Another feature I added is when rotating the archos the GUI rotates too.
However it still needs some work before a first release, it is the first time I code in java and on android. So I need todo some research to see how things are done. Also I don't want to release a version that only half works and then putting my time in answering questions "when do we get an update?", "Why doesn't the app work?" and so on.
Please be patient
The release will be in the near future, I guess I need a few more free weekends, maybe less to finish it.
Thanks to all for your interest.

I'm using the MarketAccess app with latest market version and it works flawless. I did not liked the original icon and also the fact that the icon title was not spanning properly on the screen. So I edited the original .apk and replaced the icon as well the title.

Is there any basic guide on how to best use this?
MarketAccess is a branch of MarketEnabler. Personally, I use its very basic function.
With the Market closed, I go to:
Market Access > Providers > T-Mobile
Then, I open the Market and install any US restricted apps. Once I'm done with it, I reboot the phone and the default settings are automatically restored. As I said, pretty simple and basic.
From what I understood, you did not create this, (correct me if I'm wrong ) therefore it doesnt belong in the development section
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
What kind of useful apps are US only?
My favorite are:
Amazon Mobile
Google Books
Google Music
Google TV Remote
Netflix
Not sure if Books are now open to everyone, they just added Google Videos to Canada.
Personally, I live 45min from the US border and I have an US address/credit card. We have Netflix in Canada but the selection really sucks, compared to US.
I use a E4200 DD-WRT router as PPTP server with US IP's to all my devices (Google TV, mobile, tablet, etc.) when I'm at home. For example, you need an US IP to upload your music to Google Music site but you can use any IP to download/broadcast Music/Video's to any of your mobile devices. I know is not easy, but is worth the trouble. It really sucks that we have all those restrictions.
At least I can get all my music anywhere, without taking any space on my mobile.

Credit is clearly given into OP, I certainly hope is not going to ruin your day.
I saw many mods posted here (if you can call my change a mod... took me 2min to modify the APK), so I think is the best place for it, since is not related to Original Android development.
MOD = modification of an existing application created by someone else
There are tons of MOD threads listed in this forum, from what I saw.
Still, if I'm wrong, please let me know what would the the appropriate forum so I post there next time.

Mate it seems to be working partially with the new market 3.1.5
You can see the currency changed to USD but you can't see the regional apps.
Could someone confirm this ?
Thanks.
It's true. I found a trick for this maybe it's too much of a headache but if you want to use new market then what you have to do is
1. Install market access.
2. Go emulate say for example t mobile.
3. Go to settings/applications/manage/ and then uninstall the updates for market. .
4. So now you have the old market. Now open the market.
5. Then wait for some time. Since it is connected to t-mobile it will update to new market.
6. Now you can download all the apps you want with new market.
The thing is it only works till restart. Then you have to repeat all the steps again.
Big hassle I know but if you absolutely have to use the new market then this is one way. Cheers.
P. S. Simply use old market with market access and freeze market updater using titanium backup to avoid all the hassle and use US APPS.

Can you give me an example of app that does not work?
I'll test it on my phone with Market 3.1.5 and let you know guys. So far all apps worked for me, I'm in Canada.
Edit: I think I know why is probably not working for some of you.
You need an US IP address as Wi-Fi spot. My DD-WRT router is set as PPTP server and broadcasts an US IP through wireless as well wired connections. So when my phone connects to the market, it does it through an US IP. Using the VPN directly into phone will not cut it.
Nice

Is there a new version for the latest Google Play ?
Hello everybody,
I've been highly anticipating the arrival of Google Play in the UK ever since I heard of the cloud service where the user can store up to 20,000 songs from their personal library onto the cloud so they can access it on the browser and Android devices. On paper, it sounds amazing but as usual, there's an issue.
I've been trying to set it up all night but unfortunately it keeps asking me to create a Google Wallet account. I only have access to a Maestro debit card so I shoved in the 16 digit code only to find an error- 'Invalid credit card number' even though it states debit cards are supported. I can't seem to find a way around this so I'm pretty stuck. It's incredible how one of the largest companies in the world want my debit details in order to verify my location.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way past this. My iPod Classic is almost at the end of it's life and music is a very big part of my life so not being able to carry my 7000+ song collection around with me it's a real bummer.
Basically, any way around this or an alternative (Apart from anything that requires a subscription e.g Spotify)
Thank you,
Curtis

You can just skip that option in the Google Play app theres no need to set up a Google Wallet account just press the right arrow when on that screen to skip it.

Hi CurtisAndroid5,
Thats just the start screen havent you got any music on your phone? it doesnt look like it.
Have you got the google music manager software installed on your pc? if not get it from here https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#manager_pl
Then upload some music from your pc to it and you can play it from your google play music app on your phone.
Just to note when uploading new music you need to refresh in settings in the app on your phone so it see.
yeah. you need to add the music to the cloud from your desktop computer before it shows up from your Google Music account
I know that. My problem is with setting up Google Wallet in order to register my account to allow me to use Play Music. I emailed Google and Maestro isn't accepted yet which resolves my issue as to why my card isn't accepted.

Given how much has been modded/hackable in the past does it seem likely the Garmin Fenix GPS watch with BLE will be made to communicate and allow notifications from Android phone? The Fenix currently pairs and is compatible with the iPhone. Garmin's position is (paraphrasing) there are too many versions/models of Android. On the later model Android phones is an app all that is needed?

Not looking for a solution as much as attempting to tap into the fast reserve of knowledge and wisdom the internet has created in the unification of us mere mortals to glimpse the future based on past accomplishments (0_0). Seriously, it does seem a bit odd that a watch as powerful and popular as it seems to be has not been whipped into shape and brought to it full potential like displaying Android phone notifications making use of a loud alarm and a great vibration motor.

there's a way for send notification via bluetooh? in iphone there's a special section for notification, in android where is it?
What is Happening
Are you using a Nexus 4?
I am thinking the BLE support for N4 which is what I am using has not come out yet. That kinda blows because is a Google phone.

I will keep looking but have found very little info so far.
On a side note: for the first time my watch turned its self off because of low battery. The odd thing is I don;t think it was that low, I could be wrong.
Yes, i'm N4 user and happy Fenix user...i wanna more happy: i want notification!
I try on garmin forum, on twitter, on facebook and vere but now all stop with no solution.

an user suggest to try with an app of a clock: PEBBLE.
i try but i can't connect with my Fenix...
maybe with another app for this type of watch...
I'd happily pay money for an app that allows for this. I hate not being able to use my fenix for notifications.

I have Fenix (4.05) and Galaxy Note 1 smartPhone. The solution I found (to have notifications on my Fenix) was to upgrade my Nexus 7 7" android tablet to an iPad mini 2 (wiFi only version) . Now I feed/share my 3G internet conection from the N1 via BT3.0 tethering to the iPad, wich in turn now has/runs my Hangouts + WeChat + gMail sessions, with in turn it notifies (via BTLE) the F4.05.
I never upgraded the N1 to N2 (because didnt made sense to downgrade to a bigger screen with lower resolution), and recently skipped to upgrade to N3 too because of the irritating "region lock" Samsungs now decided to impose even on it's "unlocked" EU models.
So I find myself in a path from being a full double Android customer (SmartPhone and Tablet) and developer, To a mixed Android/iOS Smartphone/Tablet user, to, most probably, a tripple iOS customer (iWatch/iPhone6/iPad mini 2).
I simply got tired of the Galaxy imposed useless bloatware, the new "Region lock" restrictions, the Andoid platform fragmentation and slow update software cycle (my N1 just got to 4.1 a week ago, still miles away from the minimum 4.3+ required for BTLE)
With new 4.40 firmware, i connect fenix with my LG G2 with no problems, now it seems closer but still no app for communication, even when im connected i cant use it.
