[Q] Native SIP client

For some reason I couldn't find the native SIP client on this Phone. On my Note 2 N7100 it's under Settings-> Call Settings-> Accounts
Will someone please show me where it's hidden?
Note: LG G2 international version. Thanks!

I'm looking for the same thing, anyone?

I hope someone confirms if it's in the phone's setting at all. I really prefer the native SIP client over those downloadable SIP apps.
Guys? Please?

I think LG G2 users on stock ROM are out of luck. It's not available.

It won't work as there's a missing process from LG G2 firmware. LG took that process out. This is what happen - "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."

All of my recent Android phones have had the built in SIP Client but on my LG G2 it is not there. Disappointing news to find out for such an outstanding phone. I just assumed all recent Android phones had it. My Nexus 5 has it and since it's similar in design, does anyone know what app or system apk I could move over from the N5 onto the G2 to enable SIP?

Did anyone have any luck with this? It's so annoying!

[Q] AT&T variants missing features

I know the AT&T version lacks the download booster, but I've also noticed that I'm lacking Samsungs Car Mode and it seems to be replaced with AT&Ts worthless car assistance app. I haven't seen any discussion on this so I figured I'd ask if anyone else with AT&T is missing this? Also, is there an APK for that car mode app from Samsung? What other features are we AT&T users missing?
Feeling kind of jipped.

Unless I'm missing something, the OP stated that this is on the AT&T version (SM-900A). Your method appears to require root which is not yet available on that variant.

Is this method still valid? Root has now become available on AT&T and Verizon's variant. I clicked the second link in your post but it says the file is no longer there? I want to try this...

Smartwatch A9 (iWatch clone) .. what about it ?

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap smart watch and i have found this one. There's not much info about it on Google..
"Smart Watch A9"
Someone can give me a opinion ? Thanks.
Sorry, XDA dont allow me to post links , there's some info about it ... aliexpress . com / store/product/Heart-Rate-Monitoring-A9-Wrist-Wearable-Digital-Bluetooth-Smart-Watch-Devices-for-Samsung-LG-Android-Phone/1085663_32383810547.html?storeId=1085663

Bump. Anyone ?

I just received my A9 yesterday, and it is a pretty good product. All notifications work well with my Note 4. Callers can hear me loud and clear when in phone mode. The 240x240 screen resolution, although not 320x320 or higher like name brand models, is better than I expected. The UI is user friendly and easy to navigate. The heart rate moniter works, but I have not compared it to traditional heart rate devices/instruments, so I can't speak on the accuracy. The "lost device" feature works as well. Since I find myself walking away from my phone a lot when I'm home, I usually disable that feature because notification on the watch becomes quite annoying. I purchased mine from a popular Chinese distributor for $56 with free shipping. It took 3 weeks to arrive, but it was worth the price and the wait. Overall, it's a good buy. Anyone not sure about buying the A9, I say go for it.

It is a good smartwatch, enough some updating. how you can update the firmware?

I am having trouble with syncing messages and notifications. I can make phone calls and sync call logs but I can't find a way for it to work all the features with my S5. Any help would be great

My A9
Hi Guys,
Received my A9 today. Bought it as it was only 65 Euro and because I was curious as what it would be like as a 'clone'. Initially I was impressed by the looks, feel and the way it operated. This initial positove feeling was quickly followed by disappointment as the Mediatek Smartwatch app won;t connect with the watch. I'm using a Note 4 and although there is a Bluetooth connection the app which is crucial for many features and functions says 'connecting' but nothing happens. I see others here have had or are having the same issues. Any recommendations to get this sorted are welcome.
Ps. I made sure that my settings in Accessibility are correct and that I have the latest version of the App etc.
Many thanks,
Sly.

Have you paired it initially in the android settings menu under the bluetooth tab? That has to be done first. Or mediatek smartdevice wont find it.

Hi I paired the watch with my phone through the BLuetooth pairing procedure on the phone as I would with any Bluetooth device. The Mediatek App simply stays in the 'connecting' mode.
When i check my Bluetooth settings is shows that the phone is connected to the watch for 'Call audio' 'Media Audio' profiles and Allow access to 'Contact and Phone log'.
I get calls coming through on the watch and that side is all working alright.
I'd still very much like to have the messages showing up on the watch...

I think it is a good watch, but the watch faces are ugly as hell.
Can't we develop better watchfaces for this watch? Or just edit the existing ones?

I received a reply from the supplier which contained a QR code. I downloaded the APK App and thought I was on a 'winner' but after installing the App I discovered it was all in Chinese
They are now going to send me a link to the English version of the App which seems to look completely different to the Mediatek Smartdevice App that is supposed to be working with the watch...

Do you have the qr code? And can you add the English version here?

Hi, not yet, the QR I have is for the Chinese App I hope to have the English version tomorrow morning and I will share it no problem.

I really want more watch faces. Does anybody have an idea, how to do it?

I think the OUKITEL A28 or i95 is great too,and with a lower price from tinydeal.

All working
I've installed the 'Fundo Wear' App and it communicates with the A9, SMS messages are coming through, calls can be made and you can add some more Apps like Google Weather. It's basic but for the money I'm satisfied with what it does.
The App wants you to register with a website for your health tracking details but although I did I cannot login with the App as it keeps telling me my password is incorrect...and it isn't

I think you need to activate your account with the incoming email from Fundo. I did but I can not connect my watch with this fundo app. It doesn't see my watch. But mediatek does.
I am using iphone 6 plus by the way

I've completed the registration and that is now also working. I did notice that every time the watch disconnects from the phone because it's out of range it is a balls to get it to connect again...

So after a few hours with an App that seems to be working with the A9 I can come to the conclusion that it doesn't really. When connected it's OK. It does some nice things but unfortunately the connections is dropped on a regular basis and every time the connection is lost it's a total nightmare to get the App to talk to the watch again.
I simply couldn't rate this as a finished product or something that should be sold as such unless there is another App out there that actually works with the device.
On its own it's a decent watch but that really isn't really very 'smart'.
I'll keep messing around with it and try different Apps and will report back here if anything changes...

Techmade Smartwatch
I've said goodbye to the Fundo Wear App as it was a nightmare trying to connect the phone and watch every time the connection was lost. I've now installed the Techmade Smartwatch App which seems to connect immediately and offer similar functionality. The App is in Italian but its simple enough to get round this

Hello everyone.
I own the A9 watch too and I believe its a great build smartwatch.
But, I really want to know if there is a way to update the firmware and how can we change these ugly faces, the watch styles, maybe to rearrange the icons?
Is it possible? How can we "explore" inside the watch?
Thanks in advance

Quick connect unable to find chromecast

I'm unable to find my Chromecast (2nd gen) using Quick Connect. Quick Connect does find several Sonos speakers and a neighbor's TV (which is not very helpful since I don't know the neighbor )... I've understood from several articles elsewhere on the net that Quick Connect on the S6 could connect to Chromecast. Is there some setting that I'm perhaps not seeing that I need to toggle (the S7 Edge is my first Samsung phone)? I've tried reconfiguring the Chromecast on my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks, with the phone connected to the appropriate network each time, to no avail. I'd rather be able to cast the screen quickly via Quick Connect than use the Chromecast app. Connections via the Chromecast app are also unreliable by the way.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also having the same problem I used to do it easily with my S6 Edge but S7 Edge andust S7 not finding my Chromecast.

Why are you using Quick Connect for Chromecast? As long as I'm on the same Wi-Fi network I can send things to my Chromecast. It just works. No need to "connect" each time I want to use it.

Because casting via the Chromecast app requires extra clicks. Open Chromecast app, open hamburger menu, click Cast screen, click Connect to Chromecast. In principle, Quick Connect should allow me to swipe down, click Quick Connect, click my Chromecast. Anyway, it's supposed to work, so I'd like it to work

I cant find my chromecast as well on quick connect in my s6 edge plus (updated to android marsmallow)

Same sentiments here. I updated my s6 edge plus to android marshmallow and now i cant cast my videos via quick connect to chromecast. Quick connect is not detecting my chromecast anymore.

Not working with Marshmallow

I have a Galaxy S6 and until yesterday it was running Android 5.1.1. Now it's running 6.0.1. Before the update Quick Connect worked with my Chromecast (2nd Generation) perfectly. Now it does not recognize it.
I assume your S7 is running 6.0.1 as well.
Was this by design? I hope not and that a patch will be created SOON!

I also hope that a patch can be written to fix this issue.
I'm used to being able to cast / stream to just about anything using my HTC phone.
I'm a first-time Samsung user and, although I love the S7 Edge, I find this a major frustration !

Fortunately, there is an easy enough alternative. ES File Explorer has a Chromecast add-on that you can choose to add the first time you attempt to cast. It works very well.

Do you know whether that functionality is something that Samsung took out or is it something that Marshmallow no longer offers? ?

I haven't come across any information that states one way or the other. I know it's a Samsung feature, not Google (Android), but your guess is as good as mine at this point.
Under developer options in the settings menu (turn on by going to About Phone and tapping Build Number repeatedly) there is an option for Authorizing Wireless Display Devices, but I haven't had the opportunity to see what it actually does yet. By default it's turned off.

Its something that Samsung took out.
There were some apks (ChromecastFrameworkService.apk, RemotePlayer.apk, SecEmbeddedServerService.apk) that was responsible for this functionality that was removed in marshmallow.

Is there any way to get the functionality back aside from installing a different rom? I've tried all kinds of launchers, but that doesn't do it.

I've tried to flash these APKs from the Lollipop ROM, but after that my S6 failed to boot. Didn't tried to debug to see whats going on (maybe installing manually instead of flashing resolve this, I don't know).
For those who wants to investigate, here (XtreStoLite Deodexed Aroma Add-on Package 2.4a) is a package that has these APKs. Maybe you guys are luckier than me.

Since I wouldn't know even the first thing about debugging, there's little chance of me figuring anything out except that it appears I won't be able to get this functionality back anytime soon
Hopefully there will be someone out there who wants to investigate (and find a solution) :laugh:
I love the S7 Edge, but I really do miss HTC connect and it's ability to connect to anything.
Samsung's Quick Connect is really a step backward and Smart View is useless as well..

How does one that is not technologically minded do this?

If anyone of you here still need some guidance on how to enable and use chromecast here it is.
Go to the playstore and download the chromecast app which can be found here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
You can add the chromecast app as a shortcut to your home screen or to the "App Edge" feature.
And or you can also download the Google Chrome browser at the playstore which can be found here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome
When you see the chromecast icon on top of the chrome browser's title bar click it to start chromecasting.
Quick Connect has nothing to do with chromecast and will not connect to the chromecast dongle.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Yes, I've understood that the problem is that Samsung has crippled this functionality in their 6.0.1 version of Touchwiz. I haven't found a way to get the functionality back despite posts in several different forums. The Google Cast app does allow you to connect to Chromecast, but the process is more cumbersome than casting via the quick settings menu. I hope someone finds a solution for this problem.

I've been looking for it on and off today honestly. Wanted to use it for a tasker profile. But it's no longer a settings activity named smartbonding. Been scouring activities all through relevant system apps to try to find something that I think would be it with no luck.
Honestly I havent tried super hard. More just in off time when I remember it, or notice my booster turned off again. (on tmobile so I have the switch in settings to turn it on and off)
But ill keep you posted if I find it

International unlocked 950f model and i have it here. Just search for it

It's disabled and hidden on this version

Carrier disabled. Not removed from the system though.
Were trying to figure out the new activity name for it.
Before even when it was disabled, you could use Nova launcher activity to find it in settings.
Use to be called . settings$smartbondingserviceactivity

Okay so from what I can tell there is nothing referring to download Booster or smart bonding in any of the activities. I believe it is part of an activity menu of some sort now and no longer called bonding. I've checked in every activity sub group.

You and me both. I have download booster on tmobile. I feel like they changed it from a settings activity and embedded it so people couldn't do this. What I think i might do later today is debug the phone and see what script comes up when I enable it and report back.

Man. I guess this isn't an issue for most with this device. Is Sprint the only carrier that hid this setting?

Bump...I know someone can do this easily

Still no luck. Anyone else find a thing worth trying yet?
