Hi all, this is my first post on XDA. It's not an unfamiliar place for me though. For the past 3-4 years I've owned 3 different sets of Android phones, and this is THE home that satisfied my software tinkering. I've many great memories of Android, especially Galaxy Nexus. But the joy of my reunion with Nokia is indescribable. Finally WP8. Finally Nokia. Enough of my "introduction". I've this question for you folks out there. Has anyone experienced the same - that new updates are available for installed apps but not showing up on the app store live tile? I've noticed this a few times, the latest being Nokia drive + beta. I learned about the available update through wpcentral. It's only when I searched for the app on the store that the live tile started showing"1" (means 1 update available.
I should clarify that this is not just on the live tile. In fact I didn't see any update notification even when the app store is launched. It was almost like I had to view the app on the store (that's where you see the "update" option) in order to trigger the notification.

I don't currently have my 920 to hand (it's in for repair) but if memory serves you can go to Settings > Phone update and make sure it's set to automaticly check for updates.
I am getting at least some app update notifications, but I certainly did notice that the notification for Nokia Drive didn't appear. But I think that sometimes there is a delay between the update becoming available in the store, and the notification appearing on the phone. Perhaps because you knew there was an update for Drive, you got in there and looked in the store before your phone had had a chance to notify you.
I experienced the lack of notification for metrotube, nokia extras+info, and nokia creative studio all within this week. I only came to know of the updates all because of wpcentral. It really puzzles me. I'm certain there isn't any settings for toggling app update notification on wp8 (unlike android play store). Or is there..?
I think the app just have a day delay...
We know that those blog are much faster than the store app.
I got the updates today. Seems to be a delay or something. Patience I guess.

The Store only checks for app updates at certain times, at which point if it finds something it'll update the tile. The tile does not update as soon as app updates become available. So there is a slight delay between the update going live, and the live tile being updated.
Nothing new, totally normal.
If you're reading about app updates on wpcentral, then you've most likely read about the update before the Store got a chance to check for updates.
Thanks. That makes sense.
After deliberately searching all my installed apps on app store, I just realized I have 2 apps that have new updates. They are My Stocks Portfolio and List & Things (paid). Updates were released on 12/12 and 13/12. Today is 17/12, but I never saw the available updates info on the store's main screen or live tile. After this deliberate exercise, I do see the available updates info on store app main screen as well as the live tile. I'm also now convinced this is a current shortcoming in wp8 app store.
Oh, and Evernote as well. I missed that out somehow. Update was released on 14/12.
If app is updated in lets say 10.12. It does not mean you can download in that day or even day later. I think thats date when they went to checking.
Ive been having the same thing...... The other day I had 12 all at once. Now some of the apps I knew had updates from reading on wpcentral so I thought I would leave it and see how long.
5 days later it pop up saying I had the update.
zolgi,
Your understanding is incorrect. The "last updated" information shown on app store is real time with the update's availability. I'd validated on a few apps. When you go to view the app, it shows update is available. It's only then the information gets pushed to the app store main screen and live tile (if you keeps it on your home screen). I accepted it as a temporary shortcoming which will get fixed in future. From other forum members in wpcentral, I also learnt it used to work on wp8 and is still working on wp 7.5 .

There is a known bug affecting push notifications on WP8 which can be triggered by a number of badly behaved applications, even with a small number of allowed backgroungs tasks in "settings". Further, the "Find my phone" setting is buggy: when you activate it by pushing the slider to the rightn when you go back to settings it will say "Find my phone is not activated". Further, the "Find my phone" page in settings does not offer a push notification setting on the Nokia Lumia 920, contrary to what WP8 Microsoft help says. Find my phone however works ok.
Anyone with a solution?
Is anyone having issues with the Google Now notifications? On my last phone, I would get notifications for flights, and games on days my teams are playing.
one the HOX+ I have everything configured the same way, but I don't get the notifications. I only see the info if I launch google now/search.
Did you try rebooting the phone. I posted an issue I have seen that location services does not seem to activate properly all the time if you turn it off and on. If you reboot the phone it should ask to accept Google location services immediately click accept and it should work.

Were you previously on ICS? On JB certain notifications "hide" till you pull down the notification bar. Things like weather and traffic typically aren't visible at the top till you pull notifications down. But I remember when using the "massaged" Google Now app on ICS, they would appear up at the top. For a while after upgrading to JB on my Inspire I thought something was broken, but it turned out it's normal for some notifications to not be visible at the top all the time.
No idea if this describes your problem, but if you came from ICS to JB, there are a few changes to how the app operates.
I didn't know google now was available on ICS... In my case, it's always been on JB.
On my last phone, I would get a notification in the morning of the day that any sports team I configured is playing. It would say which team is playing, and what time the game in the local time zone of wherever I am...I don't get that on the HOX+ unless I open the google app
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.
A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.
- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply
- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)
- Streaming Milk Music as standalone
- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc
- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings
- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"
- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use
I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.
If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile
I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it. I only wish you had a manual to show me how to set mine up like that especially replying to Facebook messages.

I'm using Gear Notification Extender (Play Store, have to purchase but worth it) Plus install Android Wear but don't set it up. Open it then back out. Set everything up in Gear Notification Extender, and disable the regular S Gear notifications from the Gear Manager app unless you want duplicate notifications. If you need help let me know

Set everything up in Gear Notification Extender, and disable the regular S Gear notifications from the Gear Manager app unless you want duplicate notifications. - I only enabled things in Notification Extender that were not available in Gear manager.
My question is...IF the app shows in Gear manager and in Extender, why is extender needed if GM says it will notify?

After testing today I answered my last question. You, sir, just kept me from returning the watch. With this app I no longer need to touch my phone. I can do everything directly from the watch, by way of responding. I have had my phone on silent all day and managing all things via watch.

Glad I could help. That's what we're all on XDA for!
I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).
I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.
This solves all my problems and works fantastically.
The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.
I feel same as you guys. I enjoy my phone everyday. Makes life easier for me. Only issue I am having is that if I get a text message and I go to reply the keyboard won't pop up. I have to go and close all apps thrn go back into messaging app then it works. Any ideas?

I'm having some issue getting what looks like a duplicate for email alerts.
GNE Notifications in Gear Manager = ON
Email Notifications in GNE = ON
Email Notifications in Gear Manager = OFF
I get the email alert 1x with the reply arrows, then again with an "open on Android" at the bottom. Not sure where I'm failing the process. Very excited to get this sussed, this may keep the Gear S in my hands, was getting pretty discouraged!
Thanks for the help.

Can you write some steps to make all this good?
I bought Gear Notification Extender and installed Android Wear and opened it then backed out but do not see the option for notifications in Extender to add Google Now. What am I missing?

So--I also have a new s6 edge and gear s that I just got today and I cannot for the life of me find opera mini. How do you get it/set it up. Don't see it in gear app store.
Help?

Congrats to the Gear S and the S6 Edge. May your battery last a long time!
I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.

Hmmm...
So, what did you search for in the app store? Because I searched for "browser" and "Opera" with no luck.
Is it possible they took it out of the store in the last couple days?

I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.
It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.
I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.
Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...
Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!
Does anyone know a way of manual installing the app into the watch?
hi folks, I have a Mate 20x bought off ebay (should be Chinese version)
I am in US
I have a big issue, which is the notification from my home security apps (ring/arlo)
1. the notification setting for these two apps is often changed anonymously by the system, thus I often miss notifications
2. there is no pushed notification shown at locked screen, although there is sound alert. I need to drag down to see what notification has come up
3. when phone is switched off at night and switched back on in the mornign, no notification from ring/arlo for last night would show up. I will need to open the apps and check history.
This has been a concerning issue for me as today I missed the postman who has an important package. Did anyone has a solution?
also a minor issue, google map would not speak street name, and google assistant could not be summoned at lock screen. But compared with the notification issue, these are more minor.
I have the same issue with the ring app. I talk to support and the say the app its not fully compatible with android 9.0. I have and via twitter the say the 360 security system is blocking something. But I can't disable the app.
Huawei says that they cant help because each model in this Chinese one it's made for other kind of service. The I don't find any logical explanation in that. I have because that means no one in China can have a functional ring service.
I think this it's an ring app issue but they don't care about this issue.
Did you remove Ring from battery optimization? I have ring, and most of the time it works. Its just i cannot assign a ringtone provided by ring, it has to be stock huawei ones..
Hello,
I have a Honor View 20 on Magic 3.1.0 (10.1.0.241). I remember installing all my Apps from the Google Play Store, then going through Settings and tweaking the phone it to my preference.
Unfortunately the customised notification sounds for two apps I know of aren't working, eBay which is normally a Cha Ching and BBC News. Instead all notifications use the same sound which I have selected (Chess).
This wasn't the case with my Honor 8, not sure what to try, maybe someone can shed some light on this.
Any ideas? Thanks
