Hi guys, I'm having this extremely annoying issue with my S4.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I open "Gallery" on my phone with my TV on, it turns the TV off immediately. Now, this happens:
- whether I'm sitting 2 feet accross the table or if I'm pretty far away in a different room
- whether or not I unlink WatchOn from my TV set
- whether I use my S4 or another S4 (my wife's for example), which seems to mean that it's not related to my specific handset.
I looked everywhere online and can't seem to find anyone having the exact same issue, let alone a solution.
Yes, the IR Remote feature on the S4 is great per se, but this is a major problem. If my kids are watching a cartoon in the living room and I'm in my bedroom trying to check recent pics I took using my phone, it turns the TV on instantly.
I have a S4 i9500 (international version, still running on original firmware I9500XXUAMDK) and my TV set is a 42 inch Samsung plasma.
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!

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
I am having an issue with screen sharing. It has always worked before today. Right now, when i screen share I get a black screen on both of my smart tvs. If i am playing a video I can still hear the sound. Also, if i share to my tv through youtube it works fine. If i share to my tv through the stock gallery app it also displays a picture. If i share to my tv using the stock video app it also displays fine. The issue only occurs when I use the screen sharing app itself to mirror the phone to the tv.
I have tried restarting the phone, pulling the battery, restarting the tvs, pulling the power wire for tvs from wall and restarting tv that way and I also tried restarting my router. I cannot figure this out and was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and maybe has a fix. Thanks in advance.
Also, my phone is completely stock.
Did you install a security update from Verizon recently? I have an Lg v20 and am having a similar problem.
Sorry, hadn't had anyone reply to the thread so figured it was a lost cause. Im on at&t and yes I do remember getting a security update prior to this occuring. Still havent found a solution.
There seems to be a problem with the latest update for the 990DS as well .
Edit: Yes mine have the same issue after the update
Its odd that there hasnt been more people with this same issue. Im inclined to say its an issue with the last security update because theres 3 of us with similar situations. Just wish there was more info anywhere on the web about it. Either the 3 of us are experiencing an isolated issue or nobody uses screen share.
Just got another security update now. Tried the screen share and sure enough it is working once again.
Fingers crossed
I hope I receive a similar update.
I happen to have two v20’s and one will screen share at full screen and one screen shares at 4x3 with black bars in the sides. Is there a way to fix this nd screen share so it uses the full screen?
LG v20
When screen mirroring apps to my Samsung TV everything all good until I stream netflix, hbomax, espn & tnt. I get no picture/video, only audio and subtitles. Any solution?
I don't recall doing an update and this LG v20 is on T-Mobile network.
[SOLVED]
Hi All,
i have read the other posts about similar problems and although they are probably one and the same problems,
i'm slightly new to terminologies and was hoping for a slightly tailored discussion.
That being said i'm going to jump straight in with the story from the beginning,
Around 2 Months ago i bought this Head unit for my car.
Seicane - 9 Inch OEM Android 9.0 Radio 2004-2011 Ford FOCUS EXI MT 2 3 Mk2/Mk3 Manual air condition GPS Navigation system Bluetooth Touch Screen TPMS DVR OBD II Rear camera AUX 3G WiFi HD 1080P Video
I have recently received this and installed it just yesterday.
Now the problems i'm having is that when ever i use anything internet based via a WiFi dongle or hot spot on my phone then the whole system crashes out on me and i have to turn off the ignition.
Also Google is unable to grab my information, It recognizes me and goes through the 2 step verification but gets stuck after accepting agreement, the Gathering Information shows up on screen and then it just loads indefinitely until either the system or the app crashes.
now i'm not sure if these are one and the same issue but do seem very similar, Like once it has an internet connection it is trying to do a background connection to google to pull data but its getting stuck and crashing out again.
So the only way i'm able to use the system is to put it in airplane mode otherwise it crashes and makes the stereo unusable altogether.
So i have contacted Seicane in regards to this issue and awaiting a reply but figure i may have more luck talking with a community of people that know what they are on about.
So i'm going to say i probably need some kind of system update from google and firmware for the system, but cant log into google without the firmware update.
The problem i'm having is i don't know what stereo it is as such..... if someone could help me with this then i may have more luck
I assume its a MTCD board, but is it a PX6 -5 -4 or 104? i have no idea. i don't know if its even a PX...?
any help on that would be GREAT as i may then be able to download the right updates for it and maybe solve this issue that i'm having.
That being said if anyone can take some time to try and help me i would greatly appreciate it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
MANY many thanks,
Frederus
My initial thought on this is that it is probably caused by a hardware fault in the unit, rather than being a software fault. My reason for saying this is that Seicane are a reasonably popular (ie used by many people) brand, and connecting to the internet is a fundamental function of these head units. If it were a software fault, I would expect to see many more users reporting this issue since the software is in fairly widespread use. Since this seems to be (on the surface at least) only happening to your unit, I suspect it is a hardware fault. It would be interesting to see what the manufacturer has to say when they get back to you. Good Luck!
Update
So i have an update for everyone with some Progress.
So after talking with Seicane they sent me a firmware update it was about six months out of date.
After installing this it seems to have helped with the continues crashing issue i was having.
that being said i then lost a few apps like
Netflix, Spotify and my DAB+ app
They also sent me some APK's for Google services and login services, [This didn't make any difference to my login hanging issue]
So i got back to Seicane and informed them of what had transpired along with a short video of what was happening so that they could see this first hand
They got back to me by the morning and sent me the link for the DAB+ apk so i could reinstall and also forward me another set of apk's
Google Services
Login Services
Google Play Store.
i have given these a go this morning,
DAB+ is back and working
Google Services - No difference
Login Services - No difference
Google Play Store. - No difference
I have just sent them another email saying that this hasn't made any difference and await there reply.
After doing some searching i noticed a lot of people have this issue of google getting stuck on "gathering Info" on there smart phones
which is usually a Cache issue, so i will try this once i'm in my car again.
I would attach the link to the firmware update that they sent me for others who may have the same issue, but i am unable to at this moment in time due to forum limitations for new users.
Ill keep everyone informed as and when i have more information.
Update [Solved]
So its been a week or so,
Quick update after going backwards and forwards with tech support at Seicane it turns out it was a combination of the outdated APK and the fact that google was stuck due to an error with the cache, from what i can tell at least,
So in the end i removed all of the google services from the head unit and deleted the caches as well. then forced it to restart and reinstalled Google login services.
This seems to have worked and i'm not having this issue any longer.
That being said i do have an issue where it doesn't want to turn on very occasionally, but this is on a very rare basis and isn't really a problem usually just have to power down the car and reset ignition. except once where i had to hit the reset button, but 99% of the time it is now working fine.
I hope this helps someone who has the same or similar issue.
Fred.
