Hello,
I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!

One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

Sony America released the firmware update on Aug 14th. (My birthday!) so you don't need chance the Sony Asia update anymore.

Can't wait for the app from Samsung to drop so it will finally work.

I have a Galaxy S2, and just bought a XAV-701BT. The guy at the store said that I would be able to use mirror link with my GS2 when the app was released at the end of this month, but from what I am reading it looks like it will only work on the GS3.
Does anyone know if I will be able to use mirror link on the GS2?
I have already installed the new firmare on the XAV-701BT

just ordered the same unit but i have a galaxy note... really hope it doesn't take long for the mirrorlink apk to be ripped from the S3. that is if it ever drops =P

I found this video on YouTube of someone running mirrorlink on a galaxy s2 and when they ran it, this app called tmserverapp seemed to run. I found the apk file I will try and play with it later anyways here's the video

It seems you need a UK account to download the app. I will try to make a fake one later to try and download it.
Edit: I made a UK account but I still can't download any apps when I try to log in with the Samsung app it says account does not match country. I tried to change the time zone in Settings to UK and that didn't work. If we could get someone from the UK to download the app and upload it for us it would be great

[Request for APK] Account Manager / Sony Network Entertainment

Hello everyone,
As some of you may know, some European countries still do not have access to PS Store. Well, actually, it's more weird than that. I bought my Tablet S in Denmark with 1.00, activated it with one of the "unsupported country" accounts and it still downloaded 1.10 with PSStore just fine , however it can't update "Account Manager":
market dot android dot com/details?id=com.sony.snei.np.android.account
(please replace dot dot with actual dots, I'm a new user and forum doesn't let me post links)
I have USA PSN account for a long time, using it anywhere from PS3, to PSP, to their music services. However the stupidity of "you can't download a program to auth to a store for which you already have a pass/login for over 5 years" is totally ridiculous.
Please, could someone from a supported country, upload this APK for everyone else to use.
Neeed it tooo
Yep, im in need of that too..

I tried looking for the apk and can't seem to fidn it on my tablet.
Can anyone tell me what the apk is called so I can locate it and then hopefully upload it for you guys
I guess you need to have root to get it.
Let's keep bumping the thread until we get it...
Please...
I tried it in severals ways but non with succes.
Even tried to change my desire HD to a tablet by changing the build.prop. Not a great idea
I hope someone who can download the file can pull it by using ADB.
Guys, finally I got it from market. hope you can use it as well

I don't know but I installed it then I could access to PS Store and there you can create an account for purchasing games from PS Store. If you can't access to this service you can use a VPN to change your IP maybe it help but It doesn't make any sense for me because I'll never pay money for PS games. lack of using this service is not important. I just grabbed and upload this APK file according to request.

The video and music unlimited service is not available in Portugal, so even if you have the apps, the the service will not work, according to info that I collected they may be on in the end of the year.. but honestly I dont think so, due to copyright taxes and stuff...
By the way, when I downloaded the app, it was working, but now gives me the service not available in our country... do you have that too, or does it work with ur account?

[REQ] Logitech Harmony for Revue APK

Hi all,
Just bought a Logitech Revue but now I want to have the app on my TFP. However, as I'm in the Netherlands I can't download it from the Play Store (us only). Can any USA user help me out by downloading it and post the apk for me?
Thanks!

I would love to be able to make real-time "edits" to the build.prop using some kind of scripts. Or somehow make the system look somewhere other than the build.prop for certain apps so you could spoof yourself as a different device without worrying about bricking. Just a cool idea lol I'm no coder, it's likely not even possible.
I'll try and figure out how to upload - have the TB apk back up... unsure what to do next.
I posted in the main forum, I guess more people will need it
let me know if you can download it from there.
Good luck

You're also running an apk not made for your device. It may depend on other apps/resources that you don't have installed.

Hi, I'm not the OP but thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately it's not The Weather Channel he/she was asking for but The Weather Network which is based in Canada. Unfortunately they've opted to restrict the tablet version to 8'' and up devices excluding the N7 (despite more than a few complaints on the Play Store).
If by chance you'd be willing to upload TWN, I'd definitely appreciate it. I know the iOS version is available in the US iTunes store so I'm guessing you'd have access?

I am sad to say that the app force closes on Nexus 7. I don't understand why they can't make this compateable on a 7 inch screen. The Weather Network treats the N7 like a phone.... I think I would look pretty stupid holding that thing to my ear.
I went back to an iPad Mini (Retina). As much as I love Android on phones, it's still not the same/better experience on tablets.

I was able to get it to work using "exposed framework" and "app setting" to set the display as higher resolution. It tricks the tablet version into thinking your tablet is a tablet (lol) but the problem is it still didn't look right. There was many glitches. I think the weather network was designed for 10 tablets :'(
I gave up. Pitty. 1weather is a good app to try.

My guess is that i will encounter the same problems as you did so ill probably end up giving up on TWN as well. I installed the new app of Weather Channel and Accuweather this morning. I am still testing both, they both look like very good weather apps. I have used 1weather before but uninstalled it cant remember why. Its a shame that TWN doesnt support all tablets.... i hope android become more strict with uploaded apps to the playstore, seems like the tablet world isnt supported by android devs all that much, at least not like apple, its so hard to find good tablet apps on playstore =(

but the problem is it still didn't look right. There was many glitches. I think the weather network was designed for 10 tablets :'(

Sorry for quoting you again but I wanted to thank you. The xposed module did the trick it worked perfectly no bugs or glitches. On my Note 8 I put 162 dpi and checked xlarge res everything else is untouched.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for the dev to fix the app the right way.

Just so people know, TWN was updated on ipad with a completely redesigned look. Lets see if the dev gives us some android love. I doubt it.

Could you give me some help? I have a Galaxy Tab3 8.0, which is very similar to the note 8. But I could not get the TWN to launch in tablet mode, using xposed app setting. I followed your instructions - put 162 dpi and checked xlarge res everything else is untouched. It just made everything smaller but still in phone mode.
Perhaps TWN updated their app so the hack doesn't work anymore.
Did you modify anything else, like the tablet's overall DPI setting in build.prop?
Did you download the app from Play store, or side loaded it from another source?

Are you using version 2.1.0.12? Because it does not work past that version because the dev changed things and made it worst for our 8 inch tablets.

That was it. Version 2.1.0.12 (linked in this thread) works perfectly. Thanks!
Pity that the newer TWN versions break the hack. Things just never seemed to work out of the box like my iPad mini. Another example of Android users being treated as 2nd class compared to the iOS camp.

Yep I feel you. My review on play store says the same but it isn't the only app acting like this on my 8 inch tablet. On the other hand those same apps are fine on 10 inch tablet so go figure
In case anyone wants to stop Play Store from updating the TWN app:

I've installed Samsungs' new Milk Radio but need to change my location as I'm in UK, (only available in US).
Is their any way of being able to change my location to use the app? . . .using ProBam Rom on my GN2

Try Hola Unblocker from the Playstore, or Orbot.
I can recommend hideninja vpn from the play sore as well. I use it all the time with Pandora and it's very simple

I use hideninja for pandora and is working fine but milk isn't working.
Just tried it. I think the issue is its using your Samsung account. You might have to set up a new Samsung account with a USA address. I had to do something similar to get Google wallet working

After reading this you might have to edit the build prop. Change the locale to us and maybe change the name to s4. I'd probably try changing the Samsung account first. Hopefully someone will make an xposed mod for it

Right to get it working outside of usa you need to freeze Samsung account with titanium back up and then use a vpn like hide ninja. Hopefully it can be modded to remove the Samsung account check. Not my find btw found it in one of the usa forums
