[Q] Samsung Diagnosis App [Solved]

Hello,
I'm receiving an app update through WP7 Marketplace to get an update for Samsung Diagnosis.
However, when I go to get the update from the Marketplace, it gives me the following message:
"Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone gotten this error yet?

Yep, same here. I also have a constant pending update for some Reversi program that's not actually on my phone because there's two in the marketplace with the same name. My guess in both instances is that Microsoft is still trying to get it right at their end since there's nothing I can do about either at my end. I'm not resetting my phone over this so I just ignore them.

Most likely. I agree that I will not be resetting my phone over this. How are you liking your Focus so far? Any issues?

I like it a lot and, after the usually painful transition, I haven't missed the iPhone 4 at all. I think this marketplace thing is probably the worse issue I've seen, which isn't bad, and it hasn't restarted by itself or anything since I bought it. In fact, I even have a Sandisk class 2 8GB card in it and it's worked without a hitch since taking it out of the box. I have about a week to return it but so far I've had no reason to do so.

Same here. My experiences have been the same as yours. But instead of going from iPhone 4, I went from iPhone 3GS. The only downside is there aren't must options when it comes to cases and such, but that's to be expected for a platform that hasn't taken off yet. The only problem I am having so far is getting used to the keyboard. Since it's weirder then the iPhone 4, I'm used to pressing the letters closer together and on the WP7, I tend to make more mistakes, but that's something I'll get used to.

uninstall the app
Uninstall the app then go back into diagnosis and it goes away

Has anyone noticed the SIZE of this update in Marketplace?

LOL...guess that explains why it doesn't download. That's...let's see....8 times the monthly cap imposed by Comcast reidential. Good job, Microsoft!

Oh...I forgot to mention, that's one of three updates stuck in the marketplace for me now. It was Diagnosis and a Reversi app and now there's another Reversi app. This one actually downloaded and installed, then it never showed up in the list of installed apps and it shows up in the marketplace list every other time I start the app. "I assume Microsoft knows...." is starting to sound like a bad assumption. Guess I should call their teacher and ask that she keep them after class for their own good.

I was having the same issue until I realized I could slide my finger over the keyboard and release when the key I wanted was highlighted.

Did you know you can also hold your finger down for a moment, and you get a cursor, which you can then slide around to insert whereever you want, like the middle of a word. Makes editing easier.

I have been looking for that since 11/18. Knew it had to be there, but don't remember seeing it in the instructions...
.......aw, who am I kidding? I didn't read the instructions.
Awesome tip Man, Thanks!!!

I had used the ##634# to get into the Diagnosis menu. It now shows up as an App in my start menu. If I "Uninstall" it, will I lose access to it in the future? Will uninstalling it delete the application itself, or just the Start Menu Shortcut?
Is there another way to remove this shortcut without uninstalling?

Just removes shortcut

Uninstall just removes the icon, typing the code on the dial pad again brings the app/icon back.
Just tested on my own focus to confirm.

yes, you can install an app, but not it will not activate without having it already configured
AntiDroidTheft is a very good one
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.antidroidtheft
and then you can find your phone online
http://www.antidroidtheft.com/
unfortunately for it and all other similar software to work, you will need to have had it pre-installed and configured
Anti DT requires the least config to work
if you have a smart Coder friend, maybe he can upload a new version of this App modified to install and start automatically with a predefined secret password
then you install it from the new Android Market
and it will install and activate itself on its own, and you might have a chance at finding your phone, and trace it to where the guy live

will tmobile be able to help at all if i call them because none of my frienda would be able to make that program. thanks though please any ideas

You can download this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.gtmedia.findMyPhone remotely to your phone.
Then send a SMS to your phone with the secret code and command. The default secret code is 1234.
List of commands:
1234 help
1234 locate
1234 alarm
1234 wipe (wipe sd card is not set by default)
1234 calls
Unless your gps is on, the location of your phone isn't going to be accurate. Just hope that if a person did steal the phone, they won't be removing the app. Since when the phone receives the message, it will play the ringtone and notifications will pop up.

hmm... interesting
trying that as we speak to see if it works

hmm... the app is no longer supported, they are forwarding people to a PAID app instead

whhat is the name of the new app?
Also how do i know what the code is if i dont have my phone?

I'm only asking because you didn't mention it specifically, but did you try the simplest method first of calling you're own number and seeing if someone answers? Also, send a text message to the phone saying please call me.
You said "seems like" someone took it. Maybe you dropped it or left it and an honest person has it and will gladly return it. Worth a shot if you haven't yet.

ya i did do both those thigns.
i just need to know if there is a way to remotely locate it because find my phone owuld have been perfect but it doenst work anymore

Did you actually try it yet? It works for me. I tested it.
Go to the market and have it remotely downloaded onto your phone. Then send the phone commands.
If you can't get the app (or any other app) downloaded onto your phone for whatever reason, then of course this won't work or any other method that I can think of.
I wouldn't be suggesting it if it didn't work. What's the point in doing that? I got nothing to gain from it.

I'll confirm this works. I just went to the link you provided earlier on my CR-48, then told the Market to install it to my phone which is across the room from me.
I waited a few minutes, then used my Google Voice web account to send the "1234 Locate" to my phone. A few seconds later I heard a text message arrive on the phone. A few seconds later I got a text message back from the phone that said my location would be determined in under 5 minutes, and then about a minute later I got another message from the phone that was the latitude and longitude of the phone, and then another link with a link that opened Google Maps on my laptop to right where my phone is.
AWESOME.
I've got WaveSucure & MobileDefense both on my phones, and this is simpler and easier than either of those. Good find.
The only negative here is that on my other two phones when I tried to install it on them, the Market told me that I hadn't logged into the Market on those phones in a while and that I would have to open the Market on those phones before I could remotely install. I'd have been screwed on those phones.

Hi Friends,

Nexus 7 search result not clickable!

Does anyone notice this or it is just me?
When your search from the search bar or voice search, the web results pop up, but actually clicking at the titles or the links won't direct you to the browser until you hit a little bit lower, at the brief description area. MORE SERIOUSLY, is that, when you filter the results by choosing more->shopping, or video, or whatever, the results are not clickable for me. No new tabs will show up.
Could anyone please try the following, type or speak "wallet", go to shopping results, tap on any one of the image item. Anything happens?
Thank you so much

worked here first time. I am currently viewing a quite attractive Oakely Square O Perf Wallet after it linking through Chrome. But, it's $50 and I am in the UK!
PS I spoke 'wallet' using Google Now

Meaning that mine is screwed. But does it have anything to do with the OTA update in US, causing some unknown search issue?
Any more people to try this out? Especially who is in US
Thank you!

Worked for me.

I seemed to find something. So have you turned on the Now service? not the voice search feature, but the privacy-controversial service.
Seems like if never enrolled in Now, your search is working fine.

That is also what happens to me, either opening two tabs or no tab at all. Drives me crazy. I hope people join me to report this to Google. It is definitely not me alone.

I'm having a far worse issue. I cannot open search results in any way on my Nexus 7. I've seen posts like this were you open 2 tabs in Chrome. I can't open anything!! Even clicking the description of the link doesn't work.

Similar issue here...
I have noticed pretty much the same issue on my Nexus 7. Sometimes clicking just below the title of the search result works. Sometimes clicking on the actual title works. Sometimes NOTHING is clickable. Very frustrating - especially when trying to show someone how cool Google Now is!!! My Nexus 7 is totally stock too..
Hopefully they will have a fix for this soon!

Well, this problem has gone from sporadic to consistent for me. Whenever I use the Google Now Widget to search for something and results are returned, I can't click on the results at all. I called Google Support and we tried clearing the cache and data the Google Search and Chrome apps and then did a Factory Data Reset. Nothing has been able to fix this for me. It totally seems like a software bug since generally everything else seems to function alright. Given this, I'm really surprised the Factory Data Reset didn't fix it for me.
Since I bought the Nexus 7 at Staples and I'm outside of the 14 day return policy (by just 1 darn day!!!), they said that they can't even exchange it for me. So now, I have to send it into Asus to have it "repaired".
Is anyone else having this issue?
For the record, I'm never buying anything electronic or of any significant value from Staples again!

I recently stumbled across this bug as well and chalked it up to being software related too. But whereas some people seem to have sporadic results, I can NEVER click my Google Now search results. I'm quite baffled that a factory reset didn't work and was actually about to do it myself, but if there's no guarantee that it'll solve the problem then it wouldn't be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't send it to Asus to get it repaired because the issue might simply pop up again. I'm wondering if only a small minority is experiencing this problem though or if people just don't realize it yet (as I haven't really used much of Google Now). In any case, I hope this issue gets resolved soon.
EDIT: This must definitely be a software bug because I might have found a way to possibly resolve the issue. I activated Google Now, hit the menu button on the bottom right, went to "settings" then "privacy and accounts." Here, there should be an option for "Search on google.com." Mine was initially unchecked, but I simply checked the option again. Doing this, Google Now seems to now allow me to touch/click results. I should add that when I went back and unchecked the option, the issue did not return. So, regardless of what the option is set at for you guys, I would simply check or uncheck and try it seeing if that resolves the issue. I hope this works for others!

I'm experiencing the same problems (can't click on standard web search results in Google Now, but can in Chrome). The above fix doesn't work for me (I don't have that showing up in my privacy settings on my Google Account, but then again I don't even have "search plus your world" available in my apps account yet).
Here's an interesting twist though: If I perform the following search in Google Now:
xda nexus 7 google now can't click on results​
I can't click the results. However the first result will include "More results from forum.xda-developers.com". If I click that link, it's not only clickable, but the results on the next page are all clickable.
Again, I'm on a Google Apps account, fwiw.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------
One other interesting point: navigating through the Google Now results using an external keyboard (just cursoring up and down), I can select and enter any result without problems.

I think I may have figured out how to get search results clickable again...
1) Go into Settings->Privacy and accounts
2) Uncheck "Show recent searches"
3) Back out to the home screen
4) Try your search again and you should be able to click on the search results
This seems to do the trick for me. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you guys.

Fix Does not work for me
Still can't click on results.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with having a second browser (Dophin) installed.
Maybe tablet does not know which to use?
When clicking on OTHER links tablet asks whether to complete the action with Chrome or Dolphin. Obviously when pressing on a Google now result that question does not pop up and the results are not clickable.
Maybe I will uninstall Dolphin and see if that helps

Thank you for the fix

It works but I was confused by your directions. From settings, go to Accounts Google, then Search, which then takes you to Privacy & Accounts.
This was very frustrating problem. I called Google Nexus Tech Support and talk about a useless rep. I can't believe others aren't complaining about the same problem.

[Q] Skype will be the death of me [SOLVED]

I have a Nexus 7. I have root. No custom ROM; the most modding I did was adding a cool font. I have Skype. I have tried both the official version and the lasted SkypeMod. I have downloaded and run CameraLauncher.
Here's the problem: When I am in a video call, I can see the other person just fine AND I can see myself in the little box in the corner. However, the other person cannot see me. They just see a little circle going round and round like it's waiting for me to transmit.
I have verified all settings and that I can soot and record video. This is driving me mental and ANY help or thoughts that could lead me in the right direction are greatly appreciated in advance.
/onlyhalfthetime

have you tried re-installing the app?

try another video chatting application (Google+ Hangouts, GTalk) and see if they give the same issue. then youll know if its the app itself or some hardware issue

This is a good troubleshooting step and I will try it later today, but like I said I can see myself in the little box in the corner while skyping and I can run the camera app.

Rarely use skype but did try it on my rooted/stock nexus 7 and got exactly what you describe, video on nexus 7 but not on recipient's computer (only audio).

Could it be because you are rooted that causes the issue...... Like sky go you can only use if not rooted. Try using voodoo ota to temp hide root and then restart Skype.
Don't use Skype, not sure if affected by root. No harm in trying.

Turns out, they were using a laptop with a mobile data card. I just used my wife's phone with the Skype app and all went well. video on both sides. :victory:
However!!! I need to continue testing because before I tried that I fund the advanced settings in SkypeMod that forces video calling! I checked Force-enable Video-calling, Force Camera Rotation, and Unlock Orientation.
Since I had to search high and low for someone with the same problem and no resolution, I understand how frustrating that can be. I will continue updating this thread and [SOLVED] it when I am satisfied that I got the answer for the people from the future.

New info!
The SkypeMod makes skype work on my rooted EVO 4G! that's a two year old phone. I had long since given up hope of using skype. This is awesome. That is all.

P.S. When I'm not poor (I got the nexus 7 for Christmas, haters), I'm gonna throw the dev a few shekels. :good: :angel:

It was indeed the other person's issue. No one else could Skype him either. That was silly on my part. However, I did uninstall SkypeMod and reinstall the regular app and got no video with anyone. Maybe because I'm rooted? Using SkypeMod I was able to skype anyone and they could see my video. Just make sure you go into the advanced settings and force enable video.
What an awesome apk. I am still floored that it works on my EVO 4g!
Marked thread solved. Have a good one, gentlemen and ladies. :highfive:
