[INFO] Music beta had updated

Hey all,
I am in Taiwan, and I got an update about Google Music beta last night.
Cause I had slept, so I did not test it yet.
I will report the states after trying it.
Hope this update can solve some issues in 3.1.

Sigh ... still hold the same issues ...
Wait for next update

It won't install for me. I can see the update but when I click to update it doesn't do anything.
I guessed it was because I'm not in the US and the Music Beta is for US only, but now I see you're in Taiwan and installed it fine.
So did you do anything special to get it to work?

I was having the same issue - could see the update but it just flashed "allowing access" then did nothing. But suddenly today it updated - I'm in UK

Thanks, I suppose I'll keep trying.
Anything new or interesting other than the cloud service stuff?

I'm in the UK, received a Music Beta invite on Monday, currently uploading music to Google. Working fine. Sideloaded Music which says its version 3.0 to my DHD as the TF was sent back and awaiting a new one.

I don't see anything about the cloud beta (I don't have an invite) - can't see anything new in in the app

Yeah, I just managed to run the update and nothing seems changed.
I was mistaken and the update has nothing to do with the Music Beta, I guess the big banner up top in the Market threw me off.

IM HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH MUSIC BETA AND MUSIC APP 3.01!! Is anyone else seeing the following?
I have the most updated music app on both my TF and Nexus S 4g and they both experience the same problem. When I am playing music from both online and offline music (shuffling all lets say) it will play a few songs fine and then it gets completely hung up and wont respond to any input. The app will not reset even if i kill the music app, when i go to reopen music it takes to a black screen with nothing on it. Its very weird and very annoying when a tab and phone cant do something as simple as playing a song. In order to fix it I have to turn the phone or tab off completely and then turn it on and it plays some songs then eventually gets hung up. Again, this is happening on my gingerbread 2.3.4 device and my honeycomb 3.1 device.

I can also see the update Music by Google Inc, but it does not install. It says V3.0.1 from 26th May 2011!
Any suggestions how to I get it updated?

At first, I had same problem as yours.
But after 3 hrs later, the Update is working for me.
I didn't know what happened but mostly is the market's issue ( I guess).
Any way, this update changed not thing.
And I still use PowerAMP to play music. But the UI is designed for 800x480.
So I wish the Music Beta can fix those issues quickly ...

Is there any relationship between the Music Beta updates from Marketplace, and the status of the Invite? I recieved the update yesterday, but my Invite is still being processed. Wondering if my TF is being preped for the activation....

---Added Attached screen shot of file after edit . ----
1. Download the apk's for the following ,
VR services
Daydream VR
VR keyboard
2. Modify /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml as described Here , credit goes to Piyush V - https://plus.google.com/113080261620205073340 .
Additional credit here [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/[/URL]

That's awesome I've been waiting for this. But can't figure out which permission to edit. Please see hlthe attached pic

anyone tried it? is the hardware of our beloved nexus enough to run daydream games?

Someone really needs to get on this and explain it better if it really works. I can't figure out what to do for sure.

I did read through it, several times. I even opened the file it says to edit to look at it myself. I caught between what exactly I have to do from there. I think I have to add a permission to the bottom of the list but at the same time, I wonder if I need to edit and existing permission. All I was looking for was a confirmation.

It tells me to add a few lines of code to the "root permissions tag". In the xml document, I don't see anything that says root permissions. I have never edited any system documents like this before and I want to make sure that I do it right.

You are taking things too literally. The root permission tag is just what the heading refers to. Just look for permissions and you will see a bunch of code right below it that is formatted just like the code you have to add.
If you have never done something like this then I would make sure you have a bunch of logcat tools and other debugging tools on hand, just in case things dont work properly.

Remote works once you have the google apks installed and edit the permissions , it will have you configure remote during first launch

Tested with google cardboard and google vr headset including ebay cheap vr box all r working perfectly
EDIT 2: If you're having problems, go into the Daydream app and tap on the build version a few times to activate developer mode. Then go into the developer mode screen and enable "Skip VR Entry Screens". I believe this is only necessary if you don't have a Daydream headset or controller,

I followed these steps and have the latest version of VR services, DayDream, and DayDream keyboard installed. When I try to launch into DayDream from the app, it says I need to update VR services. It then takes me to the play store where I am unable to download VR services since it is "incompatible". I don't know why the app says this though, I already installed the latest version of VR services.

Android 7 ETA?

Does anyone have any clue when Android 7 will land on the Zoom? It's kinda silly that it didn't launch with it to begin with. But the year older Zenfone's have since received Android 7 and we're still waiting ..

Already launched. Updated today.
1.2Gb download

Oh wow, look at that timing

I hope it doesn't cause the white line issue when I install it!

Anyone attempt to do this with bootloader unlocked and with TWRP? I'm assuming I'm going to have to attempt to flash back to stock recovery to do this.

I just downloaded the update, I'm gonna leave it charging and updating. :fingers-crossed:

Just updated mine.
Main noticable things are:
- the new notification interface,
- the quick links page allows more icons and has better design, and
- Portrait mode on the camera.
What else called your attention?

Did a factory reset after install. Thought Asus cleaned up pretty well on Nougat for Zenfone 3 but the 3 Zoom's Nougat strips away almost everything. Apps could only get clearer if they replace Memo with Google Keep and not preload Duo.
I think there is more wall papers in wall paper slideshow.

Nougat ZenUI is much better than Marshmallow was.
Greatly appreciate the update. Yes, the UI is still terrible color and design, but Nougat makes this feel tolerable. Especially the ability to remove sooooo much bloat. Glad that I could finally get Google Phone dialer installed and working without the ASUS Call screen. Now if I could set long hold back button to kill I'd be quite happy.

Can you guys get me ota link ?
Use Android Terminal to Run this command
cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml
Then upload tree.xml from your sdcard
Thanks

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE553KL/UL-Z01H-WW-20.31.49.2-user.zip
Just looked at existing ROM links on their site and plugged in the new version number. TADA!

Interesting I'm still unable to install Google Phone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer), stuck with ASUS's app.
Another one that bothers me is the Contacts app. I'm used to Google's stock and I find ASUS option way worse.
Ideas anyone?

I'm using google phone app on mine.
Download the Contacts APK from APKMirror.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts/

My camera app stopped working after the update :\ Even tried resetting it. Other camera apps work fine. Asus support says to reset my phone and otherwise send it in (for a software issue?!). I guess I'll be resetting, but this is the second time support told me to send in the device for a software issue. Can't say I'm impressed.

Android Wear 2.5

My Huawei watch suddenly rebooted itself and I was wondering what on earth happened. Then I went to settings and noticed the OS was updated to Android Wear 2.5.0.172604017.
Anybody else having this, and which device?
Does anybody know any change logs?

My build number is N7G75S and my Android Wear version is the same as yours, but I haven't had an update since getting 2.0. My security patch level is April, but some people have been getting the October security update. I don't know if that changes the version number or not.

yeah got 2.5 too on my zenwatch...android wear is a joke....a really bad one

I got 2.5 on my Watch Urbane 1G.

I bought yesterday my 1st smartwatch Fossil Q Explorist 3. After turning on it rebooted often and now I'm also on 2.5.0.172604017

I see that my zenwatch 3 also has android wear 2.5 but
I did not get any updates for it since October 18th.
The last time android wear was updated was Oct.18
The strange thing is that even though my watch has
the 2.5 version installed my S7 Edge phone still has
the 2.0 version installed.
I downloaded the Android Wear 2.5 apk from apk
mirror but it would not install in my phone.
It errors out saying "There was a problem parsing the package".
I tried downloading the 2.5 version from two other sources on
the internet but both had the same error results.
Has anyone checked their Android Wear version which is
installed in the phone to see if anyone has version 2.5
installed in the phone?
Thanks, have a great day!

cause one could be 2.5 and the other 2.0

That's what I was wondering too, the 2.0 Android Wear at the playstore
does have a "what's new" information like all the playstore apps have
but it does not mention anything about android wear 2.5 at all.
I cannot think of any reason why there is a different version in the watch
but not in the phone.
Even when I google searched the web I found only two or three
links which had anything to do with android wear 2.5 and had
hardly any useful information about it and none of the sites even
mentioned anything as to why there are different versions on the
phone and on the watch.
.
Good luck, have a great day!

my Huawei watch did the shutdown update thing to 2.5 the other day. Now I'm having issues getting notifications to pass from my phone to my watch.
Is there any way to roll back to 2.0???

Go to Android Wear settings in your phone and set all permissions on. Restart phone and watch.

Please quote the message you are replying to.
If you are talking about notifications, they must be enabled on Android Wear app on the phone.
I have no problems at all with Android Wear 2.6 on both watch and phone.

Yesterday I noticed that notifications did not show on the watch (Huawei). So I unpaired the watch and cleared data and cache from both Google Play Services and Android Wear. After that everything OK again.

My version on the Huawei Watch2 shows 2.6.0.176354550 Dated august security patch on 7.1.1

Just got an update on my Ticwatch S to Wear 2.7.0.178645119. not experiencing any obvious changes yet.

Quite frequent updates lately. Sad that no updates to Oreo scheduled, though.

Telegram - Wear Os

Hello Guys,
I'm opening this topic because i realized that after last update, Telegram was been removed from wear os playstore.
For now, it is continuing to work for who already installed it on related devices.. but not for so long, soon they will block it.
Somebody is saying this situation is not going to be fixed and probably we will not see anymore Telegram on wear os (which is really disappointed.. I bought my Galaxy Watch 4 mostly because of Telegram (50/60% usage).. what is the sense to keep it ?
Now I can not install it anymore as it was removed from playstore. There's a way to simply install last apk before the updated version? How I can install it on my Galaxy Watch 4?
Thanks in advance

That sticker problem started recently when they pulled the app from the Play Store. Seems like some service/servers are shut down already. Hopefully Telegram for Wear OS lives longer, it's one of the most useful apps on the platform.
You can install an apk on the Wear OS with the ADB:
Connect it to a pc/phone
Enable ADB debugging in watch Developers options
Set up the ADB.
Put your apk into the same folder as where your platform-tools of the ADB are.
Execute command: adb install [fileName.apk]

Thanks a lot to everybody !
I was finally able to install again Telegram on my Galaxy Watch 4 !
Hope that in the meantime, some other useful app will arrive on the PlayStore, because honestly, except sport, i find totally interesting answer with vocal messages (but not by vocal assistant, simply registering our voice) especially on applications like What's App and Telegram.
Finger crossed for the future

Keeps spinning the circle for me in an endless loop during setup
Is it still supported?
