Optus Usage Widget

The actual app from Optus works a treat, but the widget just says "There was an error displaying your usage". Anyone else having trouble with it?

Same problem here. Nfi how to fix.

No luck here either.
If it actually worked, took up less space on the screen (maybe 4 icon spots or less instead of 8!!!), and usage was updated more regularly (delayed up to 24hrs tsch...) then it would be perfect.
But alas, it fails. Still, I keep the app on my homescreen.

Not sure what issues you guys are having, im running Version 1.0(1) and it works fine!

do you know by any chance the link to download this app?

Have you tried the widget, not just the app? Cause it's the widget that doesnt work for us (should display the usage but errors).
Also I think theres only 1 version out atm.

Luckily I dumped it before firmware (CSC) update, because that removed all the optus apps.

No worries.
Sorry I wasn't quite clear in my wording...
I meant I dumped the optus app before I upgraded firmware.
I flashed to JFB, then JFF, then JG1. I can't notice many improvements... In fact my phone is a bit more laggy at JG1 (but I have more apps installed so I presume it's that).
I would flash to JG3 but... I don't wanna have to restore all my settings and data again... (done it about 5 times).
I wouldn't mind having a copy of original AUS firmware for safety reasons... or at least the CSC (contains all the carrier specific info).

It's doing the same thing for me. Curses.

ahh common problem I see. wonder how this stuff is logged...

We should complain to optus... maybe?
BTW optus owner singtel, has various widgets for their customers which look way better...

Hey guys, quick 2 Optus-related questions. Switched from 3 to them when I bought my Galaxy S yesterday.
1) How can you find out your account number? I've registered a username and password for using the My Account app, but it wants an Account Number that it states will be on my bill, the first of which I obviously won't be receiving for a while...
2) Is there a backup of the stock Optus firmware (JF3) including all the pre-loaded apps just in case any of us ever need to return the phone under warranty to load it back to its factory settings and firmware?
Cheers!

1) It's annoying you don't get it when you first sign up, but it's written on your first bill (pro-rata which is only a few days).
Apparently you can also call up optus and get it off customer service, however I didn't know this so I just waited.
2) No there isn't a proper flashable dump, unfortunately. If you do decide to flash your firmware (it's worth it if you can't wait for official updates.. which are very slow).

Yep, same here.

Well, I flashed a newer firmware but now I don't have mobile internet since the APN settings need to be set. =(
Where can I find the settings to use, or is there some way to get it to find them automatically?

Aha, found them thanks to the awesomeness of Ausdroid!
http://ausdroid.net/apns/
^ use those to find the APNs for all aussie networks once you've flashed a new firmware. Make sure you have wifi turned off when you enter the info, and once the settings are in press menu -> save and within a few seconds the 3G icon in the notification bar appeared.

Anyone figure out how to change County/Region?

Just got my M3 from China because I wanted to get an LTE version, which is not available in the US.
I have set language to English, and set time zone to Pacific, but the tablet still thinks it is in China. Websites that are multi-lingual show Chinese characters, when I try to create a Huawei Id it says "County/Region: China" at the top.
Any idea how to change this? Seems like a nice tablet so far, and the LTE is nice (Google Fi), but I am not sure I am going to take the time to learn Chinese just to use it.
Thanks!
Dave

I deleted or deactivated all Chinese applications. I manually installed Google Play. Installed its applications, including Google Chrome, keyboard, etc., and I only stayed at Hivoices Chinese characters. I have adjusted the default application to mine.

Thanks! I wound up doing the same thing. Was just hoping there was a way to tell the tablet where it really lives. Reminds me of the old DVD region days...
One related note, on HiVoice... I was playing around and got to the place where you can use your voice to wake up the tablet. It wants me to say something 3 times as my "wake up" word, but no matter what I try I cannot seem to get it to accept anything I say. It is telling me, in Chinese, what I should say -- and clearly I am not following directions well. Were you able to get the voice wake up to work, and if so - what was the trick?

Ditto re PlayStore, Google Launcher, Calender etc
If you change language to English US first, then option for USA should be available. Australia as country was available after changing language to English(UK) on my M3.

Mobile Data shortcut, updates.

Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.

Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience

Geekbuying firmware

Has anybody tested the geekbuying firmware ZTE Nubia Z17 Snapdragon 835 Octa Core Android 7.1 Smartphone Firmware 20170817 (i cant post links so google the bold text) ? They say that any google app wil work.
I am currently thinking about buying this phone but i don't know what to do. I've read throughout the forum that there are problems with the google apps (maybe this geekbuying firmware is good) and that the phone and the notification LED (the home button) will not react to facebook/whatsapp notifications which is a big deal. I saw that the notification issue can be solved by rooting the device and doing some gimmick. The problem is that i am a newbie and i have no idea how to root the device, what to install, what to do and what not to.
Can you guys give me some feedback of how are you dealing with this issues and if the phone is worth the extra effort you have to put in?
Oh and can someone tell me if hearthstone works on it?
Thank you!

Hello,
As you can see into their link, it is a 2.44 release.
I'll have a look to see if there is something related to google in it

Hi i recently purchased my z17 from geekbuying and the problem remains the same with there firmware, Gmail is giving error 'com.google.android.gm.mailmigration is having trouble with google play services. please try again' , gdrive is not functional , google photos cant back up, maps not properly functional, play store gives error ' check your internet connection', google cant sync.
So all gapps are not fully functional, so i contacted geekbuying and they have given a new link for flash. lets see if that works, i will update you after trying that soon.

I asked the same question to geekbuying yesterday.
I've the play store fully functional.
Just open the "task manager" (double tap on the left "button", move the window down. You will see a lock icon on the top right of the picture. Do the updates or install.
To "unlock", do the same once.
It works.
Waiting for a real international ROM too

same issue with gapps
So ive tried there new firmware that they emailed me a link for but again the issue arises with some gapps, although the play store is working but what good it is if you are spending $440 on a latest beautiful looking device and cant have full functional apps.
Therefore, only play store is functional now other apps like gdrive, chrome, google photos, gmail,etc not working, so overall its a false advertisement from geekbuying...

I saw if I set the play store as default apps application ( settings => apps => parameters) and set the parameter (in the play store) as "update automatically only in wifi mode" (don't remember the real text), the updates are done automatically with no problems.

Hi all,
No real answer from now. I'm not sure to have an international ROM 'cause the "new Z17S is now available".
Same (hardware) design except a dual camera in the front.
May be we can use Z17S ROM (if an international one is coming) and change the camera module with a Z17 one ?

So, it should become a pretty decorative object or an expensive "presse-papier"
Just wait for the availability of the Z17S ROM and make comparison if it is possible.
I didn't find how to mod the original ROM, for example, to add western mobile providers.
And complete the untranslated Chinese texts.

You are right, I got the same confirmation a week ago. And ... as you can see, they are starting to sell the Z17S with official global rom (EN_Common V1.02), see here:

I don't think that ROM is official. On the Nubia official Facebook page , when people ask them about a date for the international launch date they just ask for patience and to keep following the Facebook page for more info.
I am really curious about how this ROM behaves so please do tell how is your experience after you receive it.
Thank you!

Here, as usual for the "vendor" package.
For the full ROM upgrade you have to go to the proper support website.

Not for EU variant?

The linked stuff os just the firmware, the so called "vendor blob".
For the full ROM update you have to reach out Realme's support site, something like this and select "realme X2 pro".

Yeah I'm just waiting for the release on EU website as I've always done, just feel more confident that way. I'm just curious, I can't find the website again which showed the new AOD style, so you guys don't see new stuff?

is global version de eu version?
how do i know which i have.

I also receive the OTA but I can't find it on the realme support page, it still show the .32
Little question, I'm currently rooted. Can I installe the OTA via the Realme updater without issue ? (except the loss of root, but I don't care)

I've noticed an issue with the dialer. When calling someone there is no dialer tone so I don't know if it's actually ringing until the other person answers. Did anyone else notice this issue after updating to c.33?

Hello.
I've made the C33 update too but I don't have the behavior you're describing.
I tried calling multiple phone numbers I have at the office (mobile and fix) and each time I was hearing the usual tone before people pick up the line.
By my side, I have noticed another strange issue, but I don't know if it's due to the C33 update or if it's is due to something coming from my unit only.
After finishing the update process, the phone restarts normally but at the beginning I have a pop-up message asking me if I want to activate location services.
Each time I reboot my device, this pop-up message does show and I have to accept it even if the location services hasn't been switched OFF before reboot.
This pop-up message doesn't show if I make a restart instead of a reboot.
However, the more annoying thing is that the GNSS services aren't working as before whatever a restart or reboot is done.
If I use a GPS test application, I usually can see the number of sats and all the relevant details they give (NMEA messaged, etc...).
But since C33 update, I can see these information only for a minute or a few more, then they stop being refreshed and no other information are available than the position and speed.
It doesn't affect navigation, but I have some personal tracking project and these information were essential for my needs.
Can someone make a test with its X2 Pro and tell me if this issue does only concern my phone and not the C33 update?

I have exactly the same symptoms. GPS tool works after reboot for three minutes. Then all satellites are gone. See second screenshot. Navigation keeps working and is accurate. I do not have a "enable location pop-up" after each reboot.
I have X2pro 12/256 global with C33.

I do not get this message when rebooting, but I do have the same with the GPS test app (tried 2). It does give my right location also when moving around so the GPS does work correctly.

Thank you people for the quick feedback.
I don't know if it is possible to apply C32 *.ozip package after a C33 update to recheck if the behavior was also present in previous firmware release.
I tried looking for some answers about firmware version reverts, but I can only find downgrade process to go back to Android 9, and it isn't what I want to do.
I know this type of NMEA informations isn't relevant for everybody, but in my case this issue has a huge impact on a bench metrology system I'm using and using my phone as a GNSS Location tracker is a very handy solution.
It was properly working in July then I had to debug other matters before using back this function again in November.
If I was aware this update will affect my phone, I will probably not apply it...

I didn't notice any issues while using Google Maps, nor did I see any warning messages, but I've noticed the same thing using the gps test app.
