[Q] Google play services battery consumption on mobile data topic

Is it normal that google play services eats more battery when I use 4g/lte data? I mean when I am at home and using wifi, google services will not consume more than 2% battery, but as soon as I leave home and the phone goes on 4g connection google play services starts to go up in the list even if i don't use my phone.
From what I see, when on the 4g connection the phone is trying more to search my location than when it is connected on wifi,even if the screen is off. But i don't know if this is a problem or normal.

[Q] Tricking Remote Play to believe its on WiFi topic

Good morning all,

Yesterday I picked up a TMobile Sony Z3. This is the first Android device I've had since the original Motorola Droid. I've been on iPhones for quite some time.

I like this phone, but I picked it up for one main reason: Remote Play. I'm deep into the Sony Ecosystem, currently owning every Sony Video Game device. PSP, PS3, PS Vita, and a PS4. With my iPhone on Verizon's network, I used to tether my Vita to my iPhone so that I could utilize remote play on the go and away from any wifi network. Remote play functioned just fine this way when my phone was on Verizon's LTE network.

The problem I'm having with this phone, is that the remote play app will not function if it's not on a wifi network. This is an issue for me. Is there a way to trick the app into thinking it's on a wifi network? Or, possibly, is there an apk I can sideload that has this restriction removed?

Thank you for your help.

Nokia X2: Rooting & Installing Google Play Store after upgrading Nokia X2 to 2.1.0.12 topic

Rooting and Installing Google Play Store after upgrading Nokia X2 to 2.1.0.12.

Did this right after upgrading to v2.1.0.12 with nothing else installed.
Upgraded to v2.1.0.12 using the Lumia/Nokia Software Recovery tool.

NOTE: Disable any Anti-Virus installed on the machine before running this.
Though it did not report any malicius code, on running it with turned On gave errors regarding running ADB daemon.
(I use Avast Anti-Virus)

1. Download Nokia x2 tools from the given link .

http://allnokia.ru/soft/moreinfo-115.htm

2. Enable developer mode and USB debugging on the phone:

To activate the developer mode go to Settings - About phone, and tap 5 times to "Software version".

To activate USB debugging go to Settings - Developer options - USB debugging.

3. Connect phone to PC with USB cable and run Nokia X tools v1.2.

4. First install the drivers typing 1 (i.e. "1 - Install Drivers for Nokia X2") and press enter.
After drivers are successfully installed reboot phone and also reboot PC.

5. Again connect the phone to PC and make sure it is in developer mode and USB debugging is enabled.

Enable root access by typing 4 (i.e. 4 - Gain Root-access (SuperSU 2.02)) and press enter.
Press enter if it ask if drivers are installed.
Note the instructions given after Root Access is successfully enabled.
Reboot phone and run the SuperUSer App as per the instructions noted in the command prompt.

6. Install Google Play Services by typing 2 (i.e 2 - Install GOOGLE PLAY + Services) and press enter.
Press enter if it ask if drivers are installed.
Reboot phone after Google Play Services is successfully installed.

[Relevant] Android TV launcher now available on Google Play topic

The Android TV Launcher is now available for download on Google Play. Google has decided to make it a standalone app from Android TV, similarly to the Google Experience Launcher.



The launcher gives you access to your media like movies, songs and Android TV apps like Netflix, TED and YouTube. To install it, you’ll need an Android TV device, like the Nexus Player and ADT-1.

This is great news, since Google will be able to push updates faster to the launcher without having to update the whole Android TV platform. You can check out the source link below to see its progress.

Via GSMArena

I wonder if it is possible to change the Launcher on the Fire TV and TV Stick?

Is possible to play sound both in my device and Chromecast when mirroring? topic

I would like to keep playing the game sound both in my device and in the Chromecast, because I'm planning to record an horror gameplay using a Google Cardboard. Would be nice to show in the TV what the player is seeing and hearing and keep the sound on their earphones.
I tried to use the TV output sound, but it has the mirroring lag and even though it had not, the player could tie yourself in the earphone cable, would be more practice to have the sound in both devices.

I have a Motorola Moto X 1st

[Q] Play store not working even after factory reset. topic

Hey all,

This is on my SGP511. To get root access recently, I downgraded to an earlier version of android. Then I used EasyRoot to get root access, backed up TA, then installed XZDualrecovery, supersu, busybox, Nandroid backup, and installed the newest firmware with root.

During downgrade of android, I noticed that Play store didnt work and so I thought it would fix on it's own after I installed the latest firmware. I have also noticed Gmail does not work as well, but I do have internet connection. I tried different fixes, culminating in a factory reset.

Even after factory reset, I dont have connection to Gmail and Play Store. I dont know what to do now to get it working.

Apps can only be downloaded/installed after reopening Play Store? topic

I have rooted my Note 4 and there comes a problem with downloading and installing. I have to close Play Store so that it would download/install the app. If I have to update 6 apps, I have to close and open Play Store 12 times...

I have tried to clear all data of Play Store and clear cache of Play Service; and I've also uninstall Play Store and it was the same case with lower version.

Many thanks for your help in advance!!! :D

[Q][HELP] Google Play Services keeps crashing topic

Hello all

My Google Play Services is constantly crashing and as a result I cannot use the phone unless I disable Google Play Services from the Application Manager. Other applications are crashing too but not as constantly as the Play Services.

Things I have done:
- Searched XDA and the internet for solutions
- Wiped data for Download manager, Google Play Services. Google Play Store and Google Services Framework.
- Uninstalled the Google Play Services update
- Installed apk for different versions of Google Play Services
- Deleted Phone Cache from recovery
- Flashed different firmwares (With and without a pit file)
- Rooted my phone
- Deleted Dalvik Cache
- Flashed different kernels
- Installed different ROMs
- Unrooted and returned to stock firmware

I have captured logcat logs and the exception that I always get as a result of the crash is always NoClassDefFoundError - See attached logcat file

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
