[APP] Samsung DriveLink (AKA MirrorLink) Released for Galaxy S3

The long awaited Samsung Drive Link has finally released by Samsung to the Samsung App store :
http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008708915
This adds Mirrorlink support to the Galaxy S3 so that it can communicate with Mirrorlink compatible devices such as the Alpine ICS-X8 app link station.
Off to test it now..

What's with APK's being dumped to sites like multiupload that force you to install "Download Managemenst" software. Smells of malware.

Same here.
AFAIK the app has been released in the UK. Cant find the logic but it might only work there for now.
Or maybe only on UK based roms.

I'm in the UK and have the same issue. I suspect that its a bug at the moment judging by the comments on the samsung app page :
http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008708915&isCommentCall=Y#
Its new software so its probably work in progress still as there seems to be limited features at the moment.
BTW, has anyone tried Sat Nav software other than Goole Navigator yet? e.g. CoPilot? Does it work?

no options to chose igo....yet

CM10
It installs and works fine on the latest CM10 release. Seems it doesn't need Touchwiz to function properly

Been testing it and so far Navigation supposed to work with Google Navigation and TelNav I'm currently on a country not supported by both but it recognises them
Also shortcuts aren't working as I thought so, Twitter isn't any where go find even after I added my account just Facebook messages

i was hoping shortcut would let me start my apps, ie torque, igo etc.. but i did get my wifes number on short cut....GREAT

Can't change the default number set on the shortcuts
No music song can be added in shortcuts dvdn if it says so
It keeps the phone on also so watch the battery if not connected while driving
Hoped for at least Google Maps on the Navigation menu but no so no usd fof countries not supported by Navigation

yes i noted it keeps the phone on even if you turn screen off, which said turn sceen off with nav running and by by gps lock..
almost forgot only numbers i could chose was ones i set as favorites

I bought this phone specifically for the MirrorLink capability. Thanks for posting the apk. I'm going to try to sync it with my car on my way home.
Anyone know why they didn't make the app available in the US?

they just released update for this app, i hope they fixed the screen timing out issue and running in the background draining battery issue

Thanks for the info. Looks like the screen time out issue is fixed. Can't see much else new. Wish they would post a changelog with each release. Anyone know if any other Sat Nav Apps are supported yet other than the default Navigator?

Anybody have the latest APK for us USA users?

at the moment it's buggy.
confirmed on my device:
- screen won't turn off some times while installed (not even started). solved uninstalling
- overheating and higher battery usage while installed (think solved uninstalling)
one question: someone did test it with mirrorlink car monitor? i really wanted to buy one, (sony)
but i want to know if you can manage only the drivelink screen or also other applications..
if only the drivelink it's not really interesting...!

I have an Alpine ICS-X8 app link station which uses Mirrorlink from the GS3. Currently the only applications that are supported at the moment are the ones in drive link. i.e. Google Navigator Sat Nav, and Internet Radio apps TuneIn and Radioclock App. More app support should hopefully be coming.
Currently the Nokia Drive supports MirrorLink the best. It lets you run just about every application from the phone using a feature called "MirrorMode". Here's a demo on youtube showing Angry Birds running on the car dash headunit via Nokia phone....

Samsung need to pull their finger out of their arse as DriveLink sucks at the moment compared to the Nokia Drive offering.
Samsung DriveLink I would class as Alpha software at this stage, as it has so many problems and limited features.

Facebook video bug fix

I think the most of u recognise this problem, when you watch a video on facebook it stops after a couple seconds.
This worked for me:
Go to settings- apps - xperia with facebook and disable this app.
Now uninstall facebook and install it again.
Please let me know or this worked for you!
Sorry, only worked for a day.
Im sorry for opening new threat and spamming the forum.

Seems to work for me. But need to give it a couple of days to be sure.

This only work for a few hours then the problem come back. You need to install older version of Facebook, version 5 in order to fix the issue.

Is this a problem facebook's side or sony's??. It's annoying me as I normally watch a lot of vids on fb

Both: Sony should make a phone that would run android apps like on other phones, you can blame sony for ****ing something up in their phone so it wont run one of the most populair app properly. But you can blame facebook aswell for having an app that wont work properly on a certain percentage of all android phones. And this bug is out for quite a while so both compagnies (facebook in special) have had the time to fix it if they wanted to..
I don't expect from Sony to put a team at one bug in a specific app searching for an fix, but I expect from facebook that they fix the bug and update their app. You can't tell me that facebook doesn't has a team for bugfixes.

Mine was finally fixed after the latest sony update. I still get the error message but only after the video has played in full. Happy days

Gallery Problem - Android 5.0.1

I have searched the web, no one seems to have this problem?
So since the new gallery app, I think it came with Android 5. Whenever I download an image, from web or from Google drive it is blurred in the gallery, it is also blurred when I load it up full screen.
I have disabled 'Auto Enhance' I am not sure what this does but thought it could be the problem, this has made no difference. I have to edit every picture I download from my google drive, and enhance the 'deatil' option and 'sharpening' to fix each one. I don't want to be doing this as this is no doubt a drop in quality.
I also experience this problem on my Nexus 7 same android version. However my Nexus 10 does not seem to be doing the same, or if it is it is a lot less apparent. maybe just due to the higher resolution and screen size.
Any help would be appreciated....

Has no one got any ideas on this? I could post it in nexus 10 and 7 threads to, but don't really want to spam the forum.

Did you try to do wipe data and cache of this new gallery as well as the hidden folder /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails?
If that didn't work for you, you could try KitKat's gallery app or a completely different one ( see Play Store)
Happy new year, by the way

Yup, having this same problem with my Nexus 4 running Android 5.0.1
Screen captures are also blurry and pictures transferred from computer to phone are same.
Any solution would be helpful

same problem
I used to have the same problem in 5.0 . I even confirmed with quick pic and some other gallery. Ever since i updated to 5.0.1 problem seems to be resolved. Still searching for a good gallery app. The apps i for from play store are way too slow.

My Note 4 freezes when using Facebook

Hello
i have just got myself a Note 4 and unfortunately it freezes pretty much every single time when i use Facebook. After a while the pop up shows that Facebook is not responding.
I have had a look online and found that some people have this problem which had Facebook preinstalled on the device.
Now, i am wondering if this would go away if i just install some custom ROM which hasn't got preinstalled Facebook.
The Note4 is a normal international version, not the Sprint or AT&T one
TIA

Try clearing cache in system>application manager>all and see if that helps ... it did with me after the latest update to facebook!

I have a similar issue when opening images on facebook it will give me a black screen and freeze. I have to close it and open it again.

I too have same problem with FB. I am on stock, rooted 5.1.1.
Freezes mostly when open external websites in FB browser
