Mine worked now, but turning 3d buildings on makes the app lag a lot....kind'of useless in my opinion. What happened to the dual core super fats processor??!!

No lag here.

dont work at all ask for network

Where's tilt function?
For me it's working fine without any lag. Anyone of you know how to use tilt? In my EVO 4G there's a Look-around button which allows you to tilt the satellite view.

There was another update today, but not sure of the changelog.

can someone extract and post here the apk please cause it seems its not available in greece ATM..
Thank you..

Don't work on my tablet

If you tell me where it is, I'll do my first Android extraction for you.

Tilt works when you slide up and down with two fingers.
As for those complaining that it's not working, I'd suggest you uninstall it first and then download it from the Market again.
Don't run it yet but reboot your tablet and then turn on GPS and make sure Google Maps is working(detects your location). Now run Google Earth. It should work now.
My experience is with the US A500 and so don't know if this method will work elsewhere.

yeah it still doesnt work at all with the same stupid message

Facrbook Andriod help

Hey guys just recently I have had these issues with the Andriod Facebook app
1) after the first bunch of posts the newsfeed won't load
2) can't send inbox's
3) can't comment on freinds status's or page's
What I have tried to fix it
1) clear cache data
2) download a older version
3) uninstall and reinstall
4) Restart my phone
Does anybody have a solution to this???

Yeah ditch the app! It's rubbish. I use Friendcaster Pro and it's awesome.
By the way, xda developers don't work on this app, maybe get on Facebook help site or whatever they use and ask them. There the ones making this crap.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

+1 with the use friendcaster pro
+2 with the facebook app is crap
+3 with the xda doesnt deal with the crappy fb crap lol

I used scope beta. It's an amazing app with Facebook twitter instagram and others under one app with a Google plus style layout.
Very impressive even for a beta no bugs

Rooted but not rooted...!

Hi everyone,
I was trying to get my i9500 rooted.
Successfully done.
SU is there, Titanium Backup works etc.
But, the Adaway did not do his job. I still receive the Ad messages on my notification bar!
The Adaway is working great on my Note 10.1, S2 and S3 but in S4 is looking like no working.
Also, the Root Uninstaller have a strange behavior: is uninstalling the app but the message come as the app was not successfully uninstalled!
I am the only one having this issues? I did not rooted properly the S4?
I have trying different types of rooting. The same issue.
Any advice?
Thank you all

I agree with this. It will be a pain in the butt to test this, but try freezing or uninstalling everything. (Make a titanium backup of all your apps first, then uninstall them all)
Then resintall them in groups of like 5 or 10 at a time. Wait however long it usually is between these Chinese messages to restore the next group. I'll bet you see the messages stop when you uninstall everything, then see them return only after restoring the block of apps that contain the one that's letting messages through.
For this experiment, freezing should work just as well as uninstalling. Might be easier that way.
Or do it the other way and freeze blocks of 10 at a time to see what makes the messages stop.
Once you identify the block of 10 that contains the 1 bad one, repeat the experiment 1 app at a time within thsoe 10.
You can also take educated guesses on which of your apps are the most likely to be the bad apple. Titanium and ROM Manager and other popular apps that everyone else is using with no problem probably aren't your bad app. I'd start with the more obscure ones you have. Also check the feedback on teh Play store of your more obscure apps. See if other people are making the same complaints you have about one of your apps. (That only works though if the app has some level of popularity. If it's got 12 downloads you're unlikely to have anyone leaving feedback on it)

I do agree with all of you.
The messages are coming form a app or game! Thrue!
But how do you explain that, all other my devices, Note 10.1, Galaxy Pad 10.1, S2 and S3 have the same App and games instaled does not have any problem and only S4 have?
Non of the others, after installing AdAway, have no f...ing Chinese messages, and the S4 have?
Same App same games.....
My S4, I9500, is on stock 4.3 room with Perseus kernel.

Adaway has nothing to do with ad notifications, only with ad banners. Once I saw an app that can detect and block that notifications but I don't remember its name. Maybe you can search in gplay...

Ok, but this did not explain why all other devices with same app, games I dont have, after installing adaway are stopping the Chinese messages and the S4 not!
May the adaway block the notifications also, because is blocking the access to add sites...

Maybe that messages are programmed to be shown only in a S4 device (for example advising any weather app) and but in other models... there are a lot of possible explanations to that...

Yesterday I uninstall the AdAway from all other devices.
Immediately, the messages in notification bar started to come.
I reinstall it again and the messages stoped.
Meaning that the messages there are not only for S4!

2 bugs in facebook
Facebook APP = black transparent background
Facebook messenger = same as above
Wifi-theter not working
Rom works very well for me

Any browser that uses its own web engine instead of the built-in one doesn't work (exception being Chrome, Chrome Beta and Opera somewhat (Opera still crashes a lot)). So for example Dolphin, Firefox and Boat don't work, but Lightning, Naked and Maxthon work

Wouldn't it be wiser to make this list when a consumer version comes out. It would be safe to say a lot of apps aren't going to be working. Seems a tad redundant.

Finow x3 plus

So, I bought this watch 6 days ago. My first smartwatch. Now, its looks nice and is fast and smooth and all! But I am pretty shocked to see that, there are so few apps which are compatible with this device! Howcome an android device not be compatible with android watch apps? I mean what the fish? Even official android wear app doesnt connect with the watch. I mean wtf? Ah and theres no pull down notification drawer at all! I am not getting it!
But honestly the watch looks cool. kinda like moto 360. which is why I picked it!

That's because it's not an Android Wear Watch but a Android Watch.... It means that it's a phone in your wrist...

Well I dont mind the app not connecting. Finow has its own pairing app. But if its an Android phone then how come so few app are compatible?

Actually almost all apps are compatible... Don't you have Google Play Store installed? Anyway, you can download whatever app from Google looking for "app name"+"apk" ... That is the file that install any app

ya. I know mate. Most app I install are not even shown in app drawer. When I try to open them it says app not found. Means its installed but not compatible. Only the apps I found compatible are below. Amongst them even the calculator doesnt work.

I have quite a lot apps that says Not Compatible in Google Play and after installing them via APK I can use them

I'm using the "Lite" One... The K9... Anyway tell me what do you need... Try to look for those apps you cannot open in Google and download previous versions. That happened to me with a keyboard app and I managed to make it work.

No, yo dont have to do it in playstore... You have to do it in Google... You have to look for "whatsapp APK" and have to download an APK file then install it...
For old version do the same and try in "Apkmirror" a website of apks... It usually has a history of version of every apk

I know exactly what you mean. It keeps going of when I have my phone right with me. Went off really loud in a meeting the other day and I couldn't switch the damn thing off. Bit embarrassing!! If you find out I would be very interested to know as it puts me off wearing my Finow Q1.

Ok. I manage to edit watch helper apps form the phone and watch. I've installed phones apk aaaanndd... No more link loss sound on my phone. I've transferred watch apk but I can't install it cause of circular screen o_0 It asks me if I want to update system apk but I don't see the button. Any solution for this?

Is there any way to root this watch? Kingroot is not working here.

Its just a click to turn off the alert. On phone u press ok. It stops. On watch you press the down button it shuts off. It never lost connection when my phones around but when im out of range it did. And its a safety for not loosing my phone.
By the way, im getting around with the watch better. My batt is decent now. Turned off gps and wifi. And it boosted up 25% batt.
But I have a question. I cud receive calls on phone when paired with my phone before. Now I cant. Any idea how?
