Hi guys,
Any of you know any app that can check whether IR Blaster is working?, mine seems doesn't work, Mi Remote is obsolete, can't seems to show any brand of tv or other electronics appliances, i use SURE universal remote app, doesn't work either, any ideas?
I know how can you check wheter the IR light works or not. You can use digital canera or another mobile phone. Infrared light is invisible to humans, but when you capture it on camera, it should blink white light on the camera's screen.

Hi. Mi Remote relies on cloud-stored list of appliances and it seems that the older version can't connect to the servers to get the data. Update Mi Remote app via Mi Store. It solved the problem for me.

Hi,
Can somebody confirm the presence of mirrorlink in the Huawei Mate 10 and maybe
post some photos. A video would be great too.
Thanks
3rd Icon from top left but it's called mirrorshare, I have no idea if that is what you are looking for.

Hi rjan22, thanks for your reply, however I am not looking for mirrorshare.
Can you try looking under settings and do a search for mirrorlink?
(I 've seen it there on supported Samsung phones)

Here is the screen shot, what does mirrorlink does maybe they call it differently on Huawei phones? Try Googling it and if the call it differently I'll be happy to help, I am usually active when I got a new phone then I disappear on the forum hehe

it cannot be called differently because it is a trademark.
It's for connecting your smart phone to the car,
viewing maps and applications in the dashboard screen.

I have seen it as an update on the Huawei P10 and was told
by Huawei support that the Mate 10 will support it out of the box,
but I am not quite sure.
Response from Huawei France
Hi,
Huawei-France, in Europe, wrote that the new Mate 10 Pro is fully compatible with MirrorLink.
All phones with Android 5.0 or above should work in MirrorLink FullLink mode. I'm using it since Honor 7, P9 and now P10.

So apparently all S10 shipped with Snapdragon processor has an FM chip built in and it works when using NextRadio app. I have the Canadian Unlocked S10 model and I'm trying to install the official Samsung Radio app from APK mirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=samsung+radio#undefined). It just won't install on my device. Anyone know the reason? Or better yet, can anyone make it work?

The Chinese variant S10 comes preloaded with the Samsung Radio App, so I don't see why this can't work on our devices here.

i believe that the samsung fm radio app only works on the U or U1 firmware for US users. i know i had that problem with the Galaxy S7, S8 and S9. worked when i flashed the firmware, but lost it when i jumped because it wouldn't install to the next device from Samsung backup, and smart switch

Well, fun. NextRadio doesn't work for me on my S10. It gives me a network error and doesn't go any further. Scratch that, it still gives a network error if you have any sort of data connection on. It will work after jumping through a bunch of hoops:
Start it with Airplane Mode on (need to force close if you started it before turning Airplane Mode on)
It will also insist on searching for local stations via location (either GPS or postal code), after you let it fail it will finally give you access to the FM tuner
It will then not work until you turn off Airplane Mode (FM radio power is probably turned off by OS )
After all this it will let you use it normally, without messing with Airplane Mode or location info. Still fails looking up local stations via internet. What a piece of junk.
I dug into Play Store reviews to find this procedure.

Thanks for posting this. It worked on my Galaxy s10, and really loved having over-the-air fm radio available on my phone. Earphones must be plugged in as the radio uses the earphone cable as an antenna.
However, after samsung's recent U3 update, the fm radio app won't work anymore. I tried reinstalling it with App Cloner but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
Is there another way to make this small change to the stock fm radio app name?
Really miss having an fm radio on my phone and would love to get it back!
Dear @grootnova, THANK YOU!
I finally could get my loved FM radio back on my Galaxy A50!
BTW, an Italian law prohibites smart device vendors from SELLING non-DAB Radio equipped after January 1, 2021.
They took it very seriously, in Samsung, and in december 2020 they issued an "update" that removed the Radio app from ALL the smartphones, even those already sold before 2021 (I bought my A50 in June 2019).
Multiple models were affected (Galaxy A50, A30 and several others), you can imagine how much the customers were happy...
Thanks again,
Max - Italy
I'm seeing this behaviour too. But I noticed that if turn off the radio, change the station and then turn on the radio again, it works. More a workaround than a solution, but at least it's working somehow.
Seen this on Radio app version 12.0.00.34.

Why the hell is this app "incompatible"?
I cant download the app from playstore for both Xiaomi Mi Pie 9 Phone and Samsung Galaxy Lollipop 5.1 phone. Both are grayed out. I thought there is an error on my site.
But from reddit discussion I found out that the app was kicked from Play store, so it is now globally not available in the western world. Privacy issuses? What is amazfit doing?

First of all you need to register an account through oppo website as doing it in the coloros app requires you to have a China mobile number.
Once the account is made download the coloros app using the QR code from the watch.
In the app login using the account you made.
From my experience the coloros which is available in the app store could not connect to the watch. It required the specific coloros app from the QR code given by the watch during setup.

With the Chinese version there is no way it can connect to WearOS. You will basically use ColorOS especifically the one that it asks you to download after using the QR code given by the watch.

There is the Chinese version of the watch and there is this global version. The Chinese version uses ColorOS while the global version uses WearOS. It is a bit tricky to setup the Chinese version of the watch as some of the instructions are in Chinese and the QR code takes you to a site different from Playstore to get the ColorOS. However the global version is a lot easier to connect as its using the WearOS available in playstore.

And you have to register and create an account first using your email address at Oppo's website before continuing with the setup. Once an account is created use the email address as the login information instead of a mobile number as you will need a chinese mobile number to continue.
Hi,
I Also bought a Chinese Oppo Watch (unfortunately). I have a Oppo phone (Model CPH1877) and connected the watch by downloading the "Health app"' using the QR code on the watch. Some apps on the watch are Chines some are in English (I have put the language on the watch on English).
Notifications from the phone to the watch are working perfectly but the Chinese app store is limited. I also mis a payment method on the watch. Only for Chinese banks.
Would love to flasch the international ROM on the watch but don't now how to do that and I can't find an international ROM for the watch.
Anyone ideas???

I also apparently got the Chinese version of the Oppo Watch (46mm) from Bludiode.com in England. I thought I was getting the international version. I have tried to connect it to Wear OS using my Samsung Note 20 Ultra, but it connects and gets about 1/8th of the way through "getting watch information"....then stops.
How did you get your watch to run Color OS? I have tried to use the Health App it wants me to download, use my e-mail address...then it wants a phone number? I've tried suing my USA number, but that doesn't work. I've read other posts where people say that you need an international number for that to work? How did you get past that step?
Any help would be appreciated as I'm sitting here with a $300 paperweight right now. Would love to connect it to something and have it work....at all.

Hi skersh,
I have an Oppo phone as well. So I registered an Oppo account when I got the phone. Since you don't have an Oppo phone I quess you need to register an Oppo account with a Chinese phonenumber. When the watch is connected to your phone via the Chinese health app (Hey Tap Health for Wear OS) the watch works perfect.
Good luck.

Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it. Any ideas on how I can get a "chinese phone number" just to make this watch work? Or, would purchasing a cheap Oppo phone, then registering that phone and getting and Oppo account make the watch work that way?
Just trying to weigh my options here.
I did contact the seller in England and told them that they sold me the "Chinese version" and not the "Global or International Version" and have asked for an exchange or refund. No word back from them yet.

Hi Steve,
I would try to find a Chinese phonenumber. Perhaps Google can help? If you buy a cheap Oppo phone, the watch will be connected with that phone and not woth your Samsung Note. Can you register an Oppo acoount with Oppo in England?
I have found this video on YT. Maybe it helps?
Cheers,
Laurens

Laurens,
Thank you and thanks for the video link! I'll purchase an Oppo Phone to connect to the watch. I'm glad that you also told me that it won't connect with my Samsung Note, that answered another question I was going to pose. Perhaps, I'll at least be able to connect and use the watch with the Oppo phone and in the meantime, hope that a bootloader is unlocked later on and allows Wear OS to be flashed to it sometime soon!
Appreciate the help! Thanks again!
Steve

SUCCESS!
Laurens,
Thank you VERY much for that video! After watching it, I used my phone number (USA) instead of trying to use an e-mail address to set up and account.
IT WORKED!
I was able to connect to my Oppo Watch using my Samsung Note 20 Ultra, after downloading the Health app (from scanning the QR Code on my Oppo Watch) I got it synced up and it's working fine! I did have to use a second phone using Google Translate to deciper some of the setup screens, but I'm getting notifications, I've picked a watch face and everything seems to be working just fine!
I really appreciate your help and for now, will use my Note 20 Ultra with the Oppo Watch.
Take care and have a great rest of your weekend!

Hi,
Glad you.managed to get the watch working with your S20. I am.also considering getting the oppo watch Chinese version and I currently use a Samsung note 10 plus.
What I wanted to ask you is that when the oppo watch is tracking your fitness (steps, workouts) via the health app in coloros, does it also show up on the Samsung health app on your S20?
I currently have the Samsung galaxy watch and naturally it's all in sync with the phone health app but I hate the watch and would love to get the oppo watch in stainless steel!
Would appreciate any info thanks
