Samsung WatchOn Problem - bugged? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i got a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 and i'm from Italy.
I would try the Samsung WatchOn features but when i go to select the country (Italy) nothing happens :crying:
I tried to wipe the application caches and uninstall updates.. but nothing...
How to resolve it?
I can read in the play store reviews that some italian people use it

Same happening to me in UK. Only just hot my phone today too... We are not alone!

I'm from Spain and the same is happening to me and other users.

Try flashing with the us or australia firmware (i'm not responsible) but try it .. it will work

Same in UK. Not working.

That happened to me but I think you just need to wait a little bit or try multiple times. It worked for me. And also I noticed yesterday there was an update for that app and now if your country isn't listed you can choose "Other"

Problem solved in my case. I think it was an issue with the servers. Now it's working perfectly in my country, Spain. It works perfectly.

Is anyone of you using smart tv? I wanted to ask about tv screen mirror to mobile through watchon app.

I can confirm that was a server problem... now it works great =)

I am going to chime in here with a question. I got a Sammy E8000 plasma, and a S4. Both bought in Norway. I cannot get the
watchON screen sharing working.
I only use the TV through HDMI to my computer, will this be the reason I can`t get the screen mirror/share function working?
Can also mention I don`t have the HDMI dongle, which might be needed?

Fix
Remove all updates from app manager
Clear all data and cache.
Get the new update from 28 october.
Start the app. It will ask the contry and etc but now it will work.

Had the same issue last night. I was playing video around 6pm eastern then around 7-7:30pm I was unable to watch any video because it would force close on me. Then I tried my HTC Thunderbolt and it was working just fine. Then I checked the market on my tablet and it was not even showing up in my apps but it was showing up on my tablet apps. Then I went market via browser and it was showing up not avalaible for my tablet but it was avaliable to all my phones. As far as I am aware of it is still not available.... Nope I just checked the market via web browser and it still not showing up (5:30am Est). I hope this is fixed by the time I get back home in the next 11H 30M
Yes just checked mine 5.45pm in thailand and force closing! !

I've noticed that the use of YouTube has been intermittent over the last few days. Just when I think it's fixed, it messes up again. The YouTube forum has the same complaints. Some think it's a badly formed xml list somewhere.
Can't wait until it's fixed for good.
It is a known issue to everyone youtube app force close? Guys if you encounter the same problem like everyone else just send report to let the developer know about this issue

Ok. May be true about those guys as what happens yesterday was a global issue. So might be ok to assume that its going to be fine from now on unless the global issue reoccurs.

Sky Go is working ;)

Thought I would let you all know that Sky go is working on my SGS3. I check everyday and it's been updated. FYI my phone is not rooted .
Very happy now!
From what I've read and heard Sky has upped the game to prevent the new version from working on rooted devices, good luck if your device is rooted
I keep getting error 37 problem with the stream>??

Forget about what the date says, I check it every day and it used to come up with "Your device is not compatible" at the top, this morning that was gone so I downloaded it and it works perfectly on my SGS3. Anytime + and all, happy days.
EDIT. I've just seen now that they have changed the description in the app and have clearly put there that it is now supported on the SGS3
Date is still the 2nd of July so that obviously means nothing.
I love Sky Go and have decided, on balance, that I'd rather have it than a rooted phone. Annoying, but I've gone back to stock to get it.
I don't think the temporary unroot/hiding root apps work here, unfortunately.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
could you please post the APK?
EDIT: nevermind, did it myself. here it is (downloaded directly from the play store):
https://anonfiles.com/file/b141a753ee1187c821a79d0ec41db077
I updated to the latest version and it stopped working so i went and changed to stock ics same issue i eventually got it working today after i realised super user was still installed after removing the app it now works.
From this i guess you might determine that by having super user installed sky deem you as being a rooted device.

We need a good dev to hack the apk to bypass all this root checking bollocks very annoying and well over the top if you ask me.

Can anyone possibly help me, I have an SGS3 on uk-three, I have downloaded from play store and although it works on my home wifi it will not work on 3G.
I get SKYGO ERROR
3G network usage is disabled.
Go to Menu - Settings - Network preferences to enable streaming on 3G.
I cannot find network preferences, if I go into mobile network there is no Network Preferences.
I have spoken to Three tech support but they cannot help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, Skygo now works perfectly, with a superb picture.
I really want this, but am very happy with the rooted features of my S3. Hopefully a rooted fix will come out for this soon.

TVCatchup from Play Store

Has anyone from the UK managed to get the TVCatchup application from the Play store working on the ICS P6800?

Do you have a uk sourced P6800? Mine is from Hong-Kong and that might explain the difference.
Mine is from Thailand. I don't think it will make any difference?? Have you tried a fresh install? Mine had problems at first going from the beta version to the market version,but a fresh install sorted it out

Android 4.04
Baseband: P6800XXLPW

I wonder if I need to flash a different ICS to get TVCatchup to work, any ideas?
Can anyone who has got the TVCatchup application from the Play Store working on the P6800 please post details of their firmware?
Thanks
SUCCESS
I changed the router and that fixed the fault. It is strange that the original router worked with my laptop and Note but not the 7.7.

I need S3 owners to test my game (high rated)

Hi,
I have an online word game on Google Play, it does well but i got some complains from only S3 owners about not connecting to the server during startup, although i got no issues on s3s.
Could any S3 owner please test the game and tell if it works? I really appreciate it.
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ercu.wordfind
The game is working fine..no probs in connecting to the server
Thank you.
May be a localization or DNS issue, i'll be glad if anybody from US try it.

Works fine for me (in the UK). Looking at the reviews, only one S3 user complaint about the issue you mentioned. It could be a problem on his end.

Thank you. When you sort the comments by time, you may see two comments:
* Kevin - September 7, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S3 with version 1.5.2
Would love to give 5 stars
I was never able to play it...it always says "connecting to sever" and than..."can not connect" I've tried to uninstall but same thing...aww well
* Karl - September 5, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S3
Very bad
Just connects to server and fails every time on my s3
These are the only bad reviews for the game, so it made me conclude like it's specific to s3s.

Game is working fine for me in Germany. Maybe they had a bad connection that day. Good game though!!!

Works also fine here in Austria the only "issue" I faced is that it lets you confirm to leave the game, when you press the back button while you play, but returns you to the main screen which is meant that way, I guess, but maybe something with return to main screen would be better as text instead.
All over nice game, keep it up
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you for the advice: )
You're right about the text confusion, but here is the reason: when you join the currently playing game it has endless game play. You play next round when it starts automatically. So here close means exiting that game loop and returning to main menu and because of this it's text is "close the game", not "exit the game".
I hit my daily thanks limit : ( I want to thank everybody, but should try next day.

I think i've figured out the problem. On ICS 4.0.4, the system is very aggressive for memory and destroys unused things immediately, so this made the game stopped. The update is on the way, we will see if it's the case from the comments.
work fine to me too

May it be a full rom or just an OTA file?
I found on samfirmware the link.
I am downloading it right now and the file size is 1054.8 Mb.
Will it be a full rom or just a BIG OTA?
is it possible to dowload it also for CZECH devices?
and for PORTUGAL devices? (while its not available...)

So far, this is all they have reported - (very limited list of features but hope that people will report more)
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_101_is_getting_jelly_bean_in_germany-news-5057.php
FWIW 8000 OTA's have usually worked just fine on the 8013. Of course proceed at your own risk. The 8013 OTA will probably be out shortly. Good news
Unless it takes a long time I'll probably just wait on the 8013 release.
I read it somewhere, multi-app feature now has Facebook, Twitter and Youtube - is this true.

Sort of... The s/w is looking for h/w components that aren't present. I have no idea what that means from a stability perspective.
Metallan said:
Okay, so I flashed this on my N8013. Here's what I've noticed so far:
- There are now some new and useless apps thought for the 3G version (like Phone, and some other phone-related)
- There's always a notification stating that the device has no signal, since well, off course it doesn't have signal.
- I've had it reset about 2 times in the last 60 minutes.
I forgot to wipe after flashing, so I'll do it now and see if that last problem persists.

I can't believe there isn't a rom based on this yet <ducking>
So, flashed this on my N8013 with odin. Never did a wipe. System came back up with all my apps and settings but on this leak from Germany. Oddly, so far everything seems to be working ok.
So, since I am on an N8013, which of course doesn't have a modem, Activesync to an Exchange server fails, as it is looking for a proper APN, which of course I cannot add. Does anyone know of a work-around to get this to work? I can always do just the email via IMAP, but it would be nice to have the whole shabang without needing a 3rd party app like Touchdown, which I don't much care for.
Thanks
