Hey guys i recently updated to FRF91 manually ( stock google update ) and i am facing a couple of annoying glitches.... the purpose of this thread is to have a centralized list of all the problems and workarounds hopefully:
Flash: Well before FRF91 i had FRF50B in which i had an option ( in the browser settings ) to turn flash off or on demand.... Now its missing in FRF91
Messaging: firstly in conversation threads my picture is not shown and i cant figure out a way to get it to show my picture ... by the way it was ok on 2.1
Market: Market is very very very slow even on wifi .... Plus whenever i uninstall or install an application it gets stuck on the progress bar ( when u go to an app's description page and click on install it shows the progress bar which shows the download progress and once downloaded it shows install progress and thats where it gets stuck, even after the application has been installed.
Browser: Browser also seems a bit patchy.
Any one of you all facing any of these problems ?????
Flash (or actually, browser settings): are just in the same place.
Messaging: I think it was mentioned on the forum, together with solution - but don't remember the thread.
Market: it was mentioned 10000 times on the forum, together with solutions. The easiest of them is to clear all Market data and cache in App management. It flies.
Browser is great and fast as hell. The only thing it's missing is the need to enter "about:debug" to get to UAString setting. I'm waiting for someone to recompile it, leaving the debug settings always on.
Thanks Jack. I really apologize for my ignorance.
I cant find the flash settings in brwser my friend help me out
I have sporadic issues where the images do not download for MMS.
It happens with a variety of people on a multiple incoming networks.
I didn't have the issue pre update

Open browser, then:
Menu/More/Settings/Enable Plug-ins
Select Always on/On demand/Off
The issue with your picture not being displayed in messaging is down to your phone number being programmed on the sim card.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Status. If "My Phone Number" shows as unknown then the phone is unable to recognise your number against your Facebook profile hence why nothing shows.
My understanding is that the phone reads this info direct from the SIM card so perhaps a SIM update from your network provider will solve this. Alternativly inset your SIM card into a "dumb" phone and it should let you change the number programmed on the SIM card. Android cannot do this for some reason (although ive heard the iPhone can!)

Ok i have discovered another issue. The delivery reports dont seem to work. But that was a problem on FRF85B as well.... When you long press a text message and check delivery report it keeps saying "pending " even though the other person has already recieved it ... any work arounds ????
Also my market issue is still there
"I have a funny issue with my exchange. When i get a new mail, i get a notification on my N1. But even after i have read that email on my PC.The notification doesnt go away .... and when i check my phone after some time i think i have recieved a new email but its only notification of old one .... is there a workaround for that guys ?"
I have this same issue that you have, but on a HTC Desire with custom Froyo ROMs. I don't remember it being a problem with the stock ROM, but on a Desire this stock ROM includes HTC Sense which I think does its own Exchange stuff, rather than use the Android Exchange apps.
I have just got a HD7. In the setting section, under the find my way category, I have a problem.
first, the phone says that find my way is not available.
Second. The option that allows me to let the phone save my locations for faster whatever does not exist. i.e. instead of two options in find my phone setting, I just have one. the other is missing.
third, in the windows live website, there is no sign of the "Map it" option that it should be there. other features like lock and ring work perfectly fine through SMS, NOT push notification.
although this is not a big deal, but I wonder what can be the reason. I live in turkey. can that be for it that the map it option is not available in turkey, or maybe HTC has decided to protect our privacy better by removing the save my location option. anybody has any idea?

I have the same problem, anyone can solve this?
Set your number in the settings, then it should work. Or try to change your locale settings (WL and phone)
On my device it's also missing.
When I logged into the website windowsphone.com suddenly on the phone instead of those two checkboxes with options, I've got only now :
"Ring, lock or erase your phone......" and slider setting "On/Off".
How to bring the maps on?

Text to speech bug
Hi all,
I've come across a weird bug that once i have run the "speak current time" actions under the labs section, my phone continues to speak the time for other various actions (eg opening/closing folders, setting the alarm etc).
So far there seems to be no way of stopping it, even killing the Google text to speech service does nothing.
Anyone else with this problem or any solutions?
Regards
G

Hi G,
received your e-mail and replied this via e-mail a couple of minutes ago ...
Hi Gene,
No, you are the first reporting this. There is no Retag background service which could cause this and NFC Retag doesn´t change a TexttoSpeech setting, therefore I would say it´s not related, but stranger things had happen.
First thing I thought, it´s probably related to the CAR Mode ... a lot of devices speak a lot of things (Sms received, folder opened etc. ) while in car mode..annoying and mostly unexpected ... the first time it happen to me, I was completely clueless what was causing this and how to disable.. So please check if the car mode is enabled.
Second thought was the Standard Android Accessibility feature, please check under Settings--> Accessibility that the TalkBack option is disabled (provides spoken feedback for blind users ).
If this doesn´t help, reboot your device and please check again...If the issue still occurs, could you please give us some more details (device, firmware version, etc.) and if possible a log file, so we could analyze this in detail?

Hi ascsa,
Thanks i got your email. Great to see such quick response from developers. I wasn't expecting it, hence the post here as well.
Just to clarify for any other readers, i'll repeat what i sent in my reply email to you.
Driving mode and talkback are disabled on my device.
I found a temporary fix by clearing the data from Application Management->All->Google text to speech service, but it then randomly starts again at a later time. I think the fault may lay more with Android than any app as there are a couple of other applications out there having the same issue. Something about Android calling the wrong service (text to speech) when various apps are started.
For your and others information, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T Android 4.1.2 Stock Vodafone AU ROM, rooted. Baseband I9300TDUELL2.
Cheers

No Problem ... ... but let´s move to the official support thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138&page=100) ...because this is an old thread ...NFC Retag PRO is currently NOT on sale ... and we shouldn´t confuse the users ...
Just to clarify for any other readers, my e-mail answer to your last post :
The Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international model) is one of our main testing devices. Not sure if, there is a problem with the Vodafone Rom or the Australian T model, but it´s working fine here on 4.1.2.
Had a short look at our code and the official api and everything seems fine ... but without a log file or better a device on which we could reproduce the error it´s nearly impossible to be sure ...However, you mentioned it happens with other apps, too , so I would bet on some Vodafone "enhancements" ...
Btw. have you tried the Samsung TTS engine (settings--> language& input -->text-to-speech output--> preferred engine) instead of the Google engine?
I notice there are several versions of tasker. Which do I need?

Would anyone be interested in finding the solutions to the problems below as a "job" and giving me a price for the solutions?
(1 - Data Roaming Nag)
Recently upgraded from HTC desire running 2.2 (I think?) to Razr I which is now running 4.12, before if I'd be abroad I'd simply get a text from my service provider about the rates, I always had data roaming enabled as it's a business phone and only €2 for the first 50mb which is more than enough for a days use. So I set the razr up in much the same way, albeit on 4.12 but I had data roaming enabled and when I first got connected to a foreign network it prompted me about data roaming, which I thought would be just a once off for the first time since I already had it enabled, I clicked yes to acknowledge it anyway and continue using data roaming which was fine, but then it seemed as soon as I dropped out of coverage and came back, the notification would come up again. It actually got so frequent that the notification was on my screen almost every time I unlocked the phone and it got pretty annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this and found out a way to disable the popup? I'm not sure if it's android or motorolla related?
(2 - Enable USB Mass storage)
I've seen mods of this but I don't think they are compatible with 4.12, if anyone has a solution or could edit the settings.apk to enable it and post it that would be great
(3 - Contact Sync Issue)
My contacts are not syncing properly. I've over 2,700 contacts as it's a business phone. I save all to my gmail account under different groups (my contacts/business/sport) and never had sync issues on my old desire but I'm having issues with this. When I check the account in settings, sync is fine for everything (calendar, gmail etc) but contacts and the last successful sync is days and days ago. The error just reads "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back again shortly", which obviously isn't the case. I've tried "contact sync fix" app and although it works, I don't like using such a solution and would of course much rather it to just work as it's supposed to. Also I'm getting a "Sync - too many contacts deletions" notification sometimes that I'm not sure what to do with, when I click it it comes up saying "Deletion limit exceeded" and then says there are 8 deleted items for contacts account [email protected]. What do you want to do?" giving me the options: Delete the items - undo the deletes - do nothing for now. I don't know what to do so just choose "do nothing for now" contacts seem to be still intact but I'm very worried about losing any.
(4 - Space between numbers)
I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!
I thought it was an issue with Go Contacts/Dialler EX but it's happening on EX Dialler too even though I've clicked off the area code setting, so I'm thinking it might be an android issue? Anyone managed to sort it out? I may have found something to do with it from Android Development, but I haven't a clue if that can be changed as a mod for a specific phone?

Thanks for letting me know. Do you think there will be a solution, ever?
I think I solved the contact sync issue, I chose the "undelete" option and then I noticed 8 new "my contacts" groups in gmail itself (from desktop) so I deleted them groups from gmail and I think it's ok now. I also sent Go contacts/dialer to system app (because of a missed call issue) so I'm not sure if this contributed, I also deleted the "contact sync fix" app. Hopefully the issue doesn't resurface.

My X is paired to my 2013 F-150 via SYNC and it automatically adds the voice, media and message features upon connecting. However, every time I get a text, SYNC stops everything to tell me I have a new text message, and it's annoying. You can turn MAP off temporarily by manually disabling it while the phone is paired, but once it re-pairs with SYNC, it automatically activates MAP again. I do use the voice and media though.
My question is this... is there any way to permanently disable the MAP feature on the X? I don't use it and never will. I always check my phone when a new message arrives or wait until I'm at a stop. I just want to be able to be able to remove the MAP feature.

You can probably unpair (from both the phone and sync) and then repair and when you repair just deny the MAP access request.
Also, you should be able to turn off new message download in Sync

Did you ever find a solution for this? I just got a '14 Raptor and it does the same damned thing. I've deleted the phone pairing and repaired and deny access when repairing but it still automatically connects to all 3 protocols when I get in the truck. My phone is actually an LG G3 but it seems to be an android problem and not a specific phone problem.

Nope. I also got a '14 Focus ST and the bluetooth "feature" is even worse on it. Since I have the full touchscreen, it will now display the notification that I have a text, and who it's from. Again, you can temporarily disable it on the phone but not permanently.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm getting in my 14 Raptor. Terrible, I guess I have to disable it every time I get in the car now.

Do you guys have root? if so maybe you can try something. but keep in mind I have not tried this myself and also I could be completely wrong.
Anyway, I noticed in my moto x build.prop file (that sets the phone settings on boot) that one of the lines seems to disable Bluetooth SAP on boot. The line is
ro.qualcomm.bluetooth.sap = false
if that can turn off SAP maybe
ro.qualcomm.bluetooth.map = false
can turn off MAP on boot.
Keep in mind editing build.prop the wrong way can give you boot up problems. Backup the file, and also keep track of and set the appropriate permissions for the file.
In fact, it's probably better before editing build.prop to try the setting on the fly. In a terminal emulator with SU enabled try the line
setprop ro.qualcomm.bluetooth.map false
then check that with getprop and with your car.
this is safer if you have any problems you can just reboot. if it works you can proceed to build.prop

Great idea, however I just tried it with no avail.
I just thought of something as well... my fiance has a '13 Focus SE with the base stereo, and she has the same model phone as me (VZW X Dev). Her SYNC doesn't alert her to new messages, but my truck with the same SYNC setup did, but I figured my truck had a more recent version of SYNC. I dunno, all I know is it's annoying as hell and I'd like to find a more permanent solution. Especially since I'm contemplating on buying the Droid Turbo in the future and I'm sure it will do the same thing.

That sucks... Just to clarify I assume you tried this with a terminal emulator. did you remember to give it root before running the setprop command? i.e. type su and enter. without root setprop will appear to go through but won't actually set anything. And if it's set properly, getprop ro.qualcomm.bluetooth.map should return false like it does for SAP. otherwise it will return empty.
Another thing that might or might not make a difference, was Bluetooth on when you tried this, if so try it with Bluetooth off.
As for the difference between the two SYNCs my guess is you're right the version difference could be affecting something. A quick Google search suggests some versions of SYNC have a setting for MAP. in SYNC menu check System Settings -> Advanced -> MAP Profile

The newer SYNC version doesn't have that MAP option, that was the first thing I found when googling as well. (and for the record I don't have a moto, I'm using an LG G3 and found this thread while searching for a solution). Unfortunately my build.prop doesn't have those lines in it. Not sure if I could just add the MAP entry or not, that's above my knowledge base

well without putting in commands manually I see two things you guys can try. the first doesn't need root while the second one does.
1) turn on Bluetooth on your phones, then go to Settings -> Apps -> Running -> Bluetooth Share then just Stop the Map service. This method will stick as long as you don't turn off Bluetooth and start it again, and as long as you don't restart the phone. if you do either you'll have to do the stopping again.
2) this requires that your phone be rooted, but on the plus side it might be more permanent. There's a nifty app in the play store made by some benevolent developer that claims to disable any service started by any app. appropriately enough the app is called Disable Service. You open the app, slide over to the System Apps section, find Bluetooth Share and click it, then just uncheck the Maps service box. So simple, but won't work without root. Try it with Bluetooth off and if that doesn't work reset it then try it with Bluetooth on. But word of caution you don't want to go messing around disabling other things unless you're sure of what you're doing. disabling the wrong thing will cause you problems.

Thanks so much! Option 2 is exactly what I've been looking for! Option 1 doesn't work for me because I use Trigger and have conditional BT on/off and that would just recreate the same problem lol.
Just tried option 2... If any of those services are unchecked, Bluetooth itself turns off automatically and won't turn back on until that service is restored.

Yep same here, tried it on my way home yesterday and the disable service app completely disables bluetooth if you disable MAP.

Wow no breaks...but not quite out of ideas yet. a few more to spitball, going from simple to more complex:
a) we've established there's no option to disable MAP from within SYNC under System Settings. What about under Phone Settings? Indications are there should be an option there to turn off Message Notification. If it's there set it to OFF. frankly I'd expect there to be such a setting somewhere in there.
b) reaching a bit here, but in Disable Service app I notice there's another system app that has Bluetooth service settings. the app's name is org.codeaurora.bluetooth (Apparently Code Aurora is the Qualcomm Linux kernel). No idea if this will work where the other failed but won't hurt to try. the service says BluetoothMasService but if you check the full name it is map (maybe service instead of profile).
c) this one brings out the big guns. not only do you need root, but you also need Xposed installed. if you already have Xposed then it would be quick to try. if not, just read up on it. anyway, with Xposed installed you need the AppOpsXposed module. when you have that up and running you open the App Ops screen of the Bluetooth Share app (a few ways to do that, doesn't matter how). in that screen you turn off all of Bluetooth Share's access to SMS. Basically you disable Bluetooth from interacting with Messaging. you revoke the permissions. Bluetooth will still work unaware that it can't access messages, and I figure if it can't access messages it damn well can't send them to the car.
There's another module that can do this more thoroughly, but App Ops is less scary/more user friendly.
that's it. personally I still prefer my original idea of figuring out how to do it manually thru setprop and build.prop, but if that's not an option then try these.
Roger, I'm off work today so I'll try these out here shortly.
EDIT: From what I recall, if you have a recent version of MFT, there are no options whatsoever for MAP, in phone or system settings. I'll double check.
EDITING EDIT: #2 doesn't work.

No idea if this will work where the other failed but won't hurt to try. the service says BluetoothMasService but if you check the full name it is map (maybe service instead of protocol).
c) this one brings out the big guns. not only do you need root, but you also need Xposed installed. if you already have Xposed then it would be quick to try. if not, just read up on it. anyway, with Xposed installed you need the AppOpsXposed module. when you have that up and running you open the App Ops screen of the Bluetooth Share app (a few ways to do that, doesn't matter how). in that screen you turn off all of Bluetooth Share's access to SMS. Basically you disable Bluetooth from interacting with Messaging. you revoke the permissions. Bluetooth will still work unaware that it can't access messages, and I figure if it can't access messages it damn well can't send them to the car.
There's another module that can do this more thoroughly, but App Ops is less scary/more user friendly.
that's it. personally I still prefer my original idea of figuring out how to do it manually thru setprop and build.prop, but if that's not an option then try these.

I think we have a winner! #3 works perfectly.
I tested it with the phone unlocked and locked, rebooting the phone, toggling bluetooth on and off, turning the car on and off... seems to work every time. As long as you turn off just the SMS/MMS options, you can still have it send and receive calls and allow the device to remain unlocked while connected.
Ahhhh...... Success feels good...
Xposed is pretty amazing... It gives us a fighting chance lol.
if only they'd installed Xposed on Skynet things might have turned out differently...

Awesome, worked here as well!! I'd looked through xposed and didn't see any modules that would do what we were after, completely forgot about AppOps. Outstanding work and thanks so much for the help!
You're welcome!

How did you get this yo work? I am on a cm12 Rom also with the same issue.
Did all the above, but anytime I start the Bluetooth afterwards, it just reactivates the "Read / Write sms messages permission all over again nd im back to square 1.
Sorry to bump an old thread. But its still yhe same issue I am dealing with.
