[Q] How to disable toasts in stock firmware? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I was just asking myself whether it's possible to disable all toast messages in the stock firmware. Sometimes when I have devices connected to the same Wi-Fi as the Nexus Player and these devices have the Android TV Remote Control app installed, I keep getting the "Controller connected" toast (and then a while later the "Controller disconnected" one). As these can be quite distracting when you're just focusing on a movie, it'd be great if there was some way to prevent those from coming up. I've already got the developer options activated, but there's no option for this. Rooting or installing another ROM is not an option, I don't want to end up in some custom mess and/or on a dead end street regarding OTAs because I rooted that thing.

Did you ever find the answer to your question? I just got an Android TV and this notification is quite annoying.

[Q] Wireless Display, Any Way Of Getting This Working?

I'm not sure if it's the fact that Wifi Direct isn't working on latest PACMAN rom or the fact that just the wireless display function isn't working, but one of those two isn't working and it doesn't allow me to connect to my TV. I've tried a few ROMs each with their own problems like wifi not working blah blah blah.. but I don't want to use other ROMs, I'd like to stick to PACMAN if I can, just would like to know how to make it work!
Is it a kernel problem? I mean the functionality is there in PACMAN, but it says "To see devices, turn wireless display on" with no toggle at the top? :/
I would post in the thread but I can't yet, so hopefully someone can help me out... please.
I had the same issue with my Nexus 4. The problem I have is that the On/Off switch isn't shown in Tablet UI. I switched from tablet to either phablet/phone ui in hybrid properties and now it shows the on/off switch. Find them in your settings.
I don't know why it is not being shown in Tablet UI. Rotating the phone to landscape/portrait doesn't show the butten either. I guess it is left out in tablet mode because no tablets exist with the technology? Or is that a wrong guess? Maybe it's a bug that has yet to be fixed.

[Q] Galaxy S4 In-Call sound issues, ROM issues, app issues

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes...
Just got a Galaxy S4, and there are several very annoying quirks/problems that I hope someone can help me resolve.
I'm using stock Android 4.2.2
1) I have a 200mb data limit so that flies away in a blink of an eye unless data is restricted. There is a way to disable data, but not RESTRICT it. On CyanogenMod with my Galaxy S3 there is a way to still be able to download emails other things, but restrict all other background data. At least that is what the effect seems to be because my 200mb easily lasts me a month. On the stock Android with the S4 there doesn't seem to be an equivalent option at all. Am I wrong?
2)CyanogenMod has an option to boost in-call volume, which makes the thing so damn loud, I can hold the phone about 3-4 inches away from my ear and still hear clearly. Best of all the option STAYS. It never gets disabled unless I disable it. The stock Android on S4 also has a boost option, but it hardly has any effect at all, boosting volume only ever so slightly, and what's really aggravating, has to be enabled in-call every time a call is made. There is no way to make it "stay". Is there anything I'm missing?
3)I cannot apply a latest "Stable" version of CM to my S4. That is, it installs fine, but keeps saying "unfortunately android keyboard has stopped". So I cannot type anything. Is this a known issue?
4)I have mind to keep using the stock ROM, because I want to have some of those nice hover gestures, S-Health and few other things, but the problem with disabling data is very annoying, plus S-Voice keeps crashing all the time... What gives? IS there any way to fix S-Voice?
5)Finally are there any modified stock ROMs which have all the good stuff and none of the bad? ; ) And if not, are there any ROMS except for CM that you can recommend for the S4?
Thanks very much.

WhatsApp card notification

My Moto360 has started not displaying a card notification when receiving a message via WhatsApp. All other notifications are vibrating and switching on the display with card, but WhatsApp it just vibrates.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installting whatsapp, tried re-syncing the apps, but WhatsApp continues not to switch the screen on ... any ideas?
You haven't blocked whatsapp from showing notifications on your 360? Its easily done by accident. You might have swiped then clicked on block this app. If you go into your wear settings, then blocked apps, check to see whatsapp isnt there.

Nope, checked that .. nothing in the Blocked Apps. The phone vibrates, so it is getting the notification, but unlike all the other apps which vibrate and switch the screen on, this just vibrates. When I wake the screen, the notification is shown
Yeh, sorry, when I re-read your post I realised you couldn't have whatsapp in the blocked list if you are getting the vibration. #facepalm ?.
I had a similar issue with not receiving cards for my outlook work emails on a different device to my 360 a while back, it turned out to be an app I had used to set a custom vibration pattern for my outlook notifications. Im guessing that if you had a similar app installed you would have checked that.. also Im sure you would have tried a restart of your 360..
I think the problem is with your 360 as your phone is clearly pushing the notification to your 360 if you are getting the vibration. I know an app resync usually fixes most issues but as you've tried that what about a factory reset of your moto 360? I know its a bit drastic but I don't know what else to suggest.

Tried a reset as well ... the funny (annoying part), is that the screen on notification did work for a while, and then just suddenly stopped, withouth me installing anything, so not so sure it is an issue with the Moto 360, as all other notifications pop up ..... WhatsApp is the only one that does not
Yeh thats really odd. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion that can fix it. What version of the 360 do you have? Ive got the smaller mens 2015 version. I'm at the end of my tether with it tbh for other reasons. The lag on the the device is so bad for me its virtually unusable by the end of my working day. Im gonna sell it and get the watch urbane instead.

I have the 1st Gen, and to be honest I am more than happy with it, even with the outdated processor in there, don't really get that much lag with it .... and taking it off charge at 7 in the morning, and putting back on around 10pm ... still gettng about 40%+ battery left.
Surprised the 2nd gen (2015) version that you are having lags with it, have heard it was supposed to be rock solid
What other issues you having?
I get "android wear has stopped working" at least twice a day. Which means it can crash without me knowing so i miss notifications and calls throughout the day. Thats my biggest gripe at the moment. Then the lag progressively gets worse throughout the day, the only way i can fix it is to do a reboot but at its worst it can take 2-3 minutes for me to get into settings then another few minutes for each option in settings to load before i can choose restart device. I tried a factory restore last night but its already crashed 3 times today..
When i compare it to my other smart watch my 360 doesn't have that 60fps smoothness when navigating the interface. I did read that if you disable ambient then the lag isnt so bad but i like having ambient on.
I'm planning on making a YouTube video of how bad it is over weekend.

I initially had the android wear stopping issue with mine, what I tried was a reset of the watch, removed all pairing with the phone, and then installed an older version of Android Wear .. think it was 1.1 (do a search on google, you will find a load of links). Then reset my watch up to the phone .... but .... tried running on Android Wear 1.1 for a few days, and it was stable. I then upgraded the Android Wear 1.4 through the Play Store (make sure to disable auto update, whilst testing, otherwise off it will go), and mine has been rock solid

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try out your suggestion now. Need my watch working, I've come to really rely on my watch for notifications as I can't have my phone on during working hours. It got so bad today with the lag and crashes I had to use my Razer Nabu instead of my Moto360.
Fingers crossed, I'll let you know how it goes [emoji106]

The 2nd Gen really should not be that bad, as said, I have the 1st Gen and to be honest, hardly any lag, so hope this workaround works for you

As the moto 360 2015 doesn't have a cable, its wireless charging only, how would you reflash a previous version of wear? Im kinda stumped lol
Last night I did another factory reset and i uninstalled a lot of apps that i didn't want running on my moto. Some apps seem to have a companion wear app for their mobile equivalent that automatically install.. Well ive taken a lot of crap off and i have seemed to have fixed the stability issue. Also i can use my device albeit with a small amount of lag. This i can live with for now, it seems that moto knows about "always on" causing lag on some devices. I'll hold out for an update to fix it [emoji106] [emoji3]

Ah, should have said .. it is not Android Wear on the watch, but the companion android wear on the phone that I installed an older version. Don't believe you can actually change the version on the actual watch
I have ambient mode off, wifi off (dont really see the point) and tilt to wake off ... as it kept coming on when I changed gear in the car lol
install quick for wear
i know it's an old thread, but i still have the problem in android wear 2.0.
whatsapp notifications are extremely unreliable. it's like the developers do every single thing their own way.
i set my watch to show notifications until i swipe it away or down, the very few times whatsapp actually shows the notification it goes away after a few seconds.
the notifications do work, as i can manually swipe to the notifications and they're there. they just refuse to show automatically.
i'm not a heavy user, so i get few notifications of which most of them are from whatsapp. so my watch functions more like a normal watch.
Whattsapp issues wear 2.0
I too get a buzz but no card till I manually swipe up anyone managed to fix this whattsapp support are useless auto gen email each time

[Q] Checking for Updates for Wear.

Hello Everyone.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forums. I did a few searches first, and based on this thread with no results: https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/bgwpco/checking_for_updates_for_wear_notification
It sounds a bit like a general wear issue... possibly only with older wear devices.
I have a Sony Smartwatch 3. I am often getting the "Checking for updates for Wear" notification.. Which means that my Google Play app, will just crash if I try to use it.
Sometimes it seems to help, to sync wear apps, via the Wear OS app.. but not really anything tangible..
I actually flashed stock Android 7 on my Moto X Style, because I thought the issue was due to running custom image.. but I am still getting this error, as long as I have my Smartwatch connected..
Does anyone know anything about this.. possibly any clever solutions.. Or is it just a big middle finger from google/sony about buying a new smartwatch ?
Thanks in advance.

Ferguson f65sfs4k Firmware Help

Hi all im new here and in the past did a little tickering about with android devices but the other day ive bought a ferguson f65sfs4k smart tv that has a issue where it looks like a 3rd party company has installed something where on start up shows company logo along with a message stating tv has been blocked. I have been able to remove this block message and tv works fine for around 10mins then will shut off and turn back on. Im guessing there is a timer on along with this 3rd party software thats been installed that for the life of me i cant turn off. has anyone has experience with anything like this ? im guessing in my head this needs flashing and normal firmware reinstalling but maybe im wrong ... Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
I have the same issues with the TV
Does anyone have the firmware for this TV so I can flash it via USB
