Hi,
On my old Samsung Ace Plus phone running an older Android version v2.x, I used to read/save contacts directly to google (shown below in picture) because I simply don't wanna save on phone or sim card. For some reason, I didn't find this option on my LG G2 international version thinking that this feature have been removed for some reason from KK4.4.2 which I'm running so I missed it a lot but there was nothing to do about it since I didn't find it also on e.g. Samsung S4 running KK which kinda confirmed to me that it's a KK thing and not mobile dependent.
Is there any one who have seen this feature back on Android L which I'm waiting for, officially, in early 2015?

it's not persistent! I tried it millions of times before but for some mysterious reason, I have to go through the whole boring process of choosing where to save my contact every time I create a new contact!
Tried this?

When you create a contact in AOSP 4.4.x it will state "Phone" (local phone account, unsynced) and "Google" as destinations for saving contacts.

Hi guys...I'm from the GT-I9100G forum......I'm running the latest cm9 on my phone...
Ok, back to my topic...When updating apps, it only downloads for a few percent as shown in Play Store...

But in my notifications drawer, it fills up very fast and the update is completed in a short while...faster then expected...but my apps still get updated magically!
It has been like this for many times...tried searching butI don't know what to search for...lol...so anyone else aware about this? My hypothesis is that Play Store only downloads the necessary files to 'patch' the existing apks...Is this possible?
Yes, you are right, actually. The Play Store now only downloads new content for each app, instead of downloading the entire app over again. Makes sense, especially for larger apps, like Death Rally, which is a 50MB initial download. VERY useful update for people who spend a lot of time on their mobile networks (not everybody has 4G or 4G LTE service available, or phones with those capabilities).
I noticed this behavior on my phone, and coincidentally read it online the next day on a random news post.
Wow...great feature......still remember the title of the news?kinda interested...

He's talking about an ota update from LG
Well who needs that? We have android and the freedom and possibility to have always the newest software on our phones without counting the manufacture in. And it would be a att bloated and locked down software anyway m who wants that. No WiFi tethering and stuff. Rather have the freedom of a non locked down software without a carrier branding.

People like different things. Do you need to get your hair cut the way you do ? No, you do because that's how you prefer it. Plus of course someone would make a optimized version of it if it was released
Yeah I don't mind stock at all but not the let's say att stock because they always block stuff. The let's say lg stock non carrier branded version is fine. Like they have on the international versions. But I mean we don't even have to wait for lg to bring out a KitKat version. We have enough choices we can choose from. That's the beauty of android. We can flash ROMs.

Hey everybody, i hope you can help me.
I've a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 rootet and since 2 weeks with CM11 M7. I use the Tool Reverse Thetering from this thread Link while at work to have some kind of internet on my phone.
The tool shows all kinds of up and downloads. After flashing my Phone with CM11 M7 i used the tool again and noticed that after 2 minutes in standby my Phone starts to do a lot of http connections. (See 2nd image). I know that the phone updates all the messaging and mail apps but with stock rom ist wasn't that often. In normal conditions the requests look like this in standby:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But after around 2 Minutes the Phone starts to request some http adresses all the time and it doesn't stop. This looks like this for example:
(Sorry for the big image)
Unfortunately i don't know if the phone does this only when using Reverse Thetering or also when i'm online with wifi or gsm. I can only see and chek it with reverse thetering.
I've bought Kaspersky Internetsecurity and tryed other apps from avg or avira to check my phone for a virus or similar bot non of them found something (i used each app on its on with only on app installed at the time)
I'm not an expert but it looks like my phone could be infested by some kind of botnet or similar but i'm not sure. Has anyone a idea what this could be and how i could stop it or get rid of the whatever i have?
Thanks a lot for your help.
I am not sure if it is a single problem of mine or other Asia user of G Watch experiencing the same? My watch rom is 78N, but I understand the latest one shall be 78Y already.... May I know if it is possible to force update the ROM?
The firmware will roll out in stages - not everyone will get it at the same time. Just wait and you will get. Im in the UK and not received it if that helps.
I'am from Germany and also have no Update so far, so we need to be patient

Yes me too....did watch reset and down came the update.
But.....most apps I had not on the watch now.
I've tried resyncing the apps in the phone Android Wear app but no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
It's been hours and only two of about ten or more apps I had previously are back on watch.
It looks like you have uninstall and then reinstall the parent app....but what you do with all parent settings....they'll be lost and probably all your data too!

I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual
