After a few initial tests, where it worked, I cannot get the remote location tool (https://myxperia.sonymobile.com/) to work anymore. It'll load and load and eventually tell me it will send me an email once it can reach the phone. This is independent of whether the phone is awake or not, and also stamina mode on/off doesn't matter.
Under the official Google tool (Android Device Manager) I can see the phone, but it also doesn't work. I allowed all the security restrictions on the phone.
Does this work for anyone, or someone maybe knows a way to 'fix' it (at least on the Sony site, it used to work in the beginning)
Do u have your gps, google location turned on? Can it be locked by remote? I tried it and it works for me.

Have the original G1 Google Phone [HTC firmware ver. 1.6] Had to reset the phone to get the last Google Talk account off. I now find that the WiFi configuration panel that existed is no more. What replaced it is a panel that has more parameters that I can comprehend. I am looking for a Google desktop app that would allow me to install google apps to the phone via USB cable. At this point, I see no other way to make use of the device.
I've taken the cell contract off of the phone for now and only want to use it for WiFi access. Windows internet connection sharing has yet to work. Guidance sought
even if your phone isnt rooted and you dont have a data plan, you can still use this phone via wifi for a portable internet/mp3/etc device.
you need to be signed into at least one google account to operate the phone (unles it is rooted and has custom rom) once in you can use the phone not as a phone but a portable mini computer or whatever so long as you are in a wifi hotspot

You can install apk files by copying them onto the sd and install them through some file explorer on the phone
And what don't you understand in the wi-fi panel?
Check wifi, go into wifi settings, click on the name of your wifi network, and type in the password if you have one
are you unable to login/register? If I remember correctly you need data plan to register...but there is a bypass to that, is that what ur problem is?
WiFi for the G1
Greetings:
Much thanks for your reply. Please know the following:
- Phone had a contract
- Wifi continued to work when contract was cancelled
- Because of slow internet navigation it was suggested [from a forum] that I reset the phone. After the reset the Wifi configuration panel was no longer. What replaced it was a series of input windows that requested information far beyond network name, SSID, etc.
- The SIM card that had been in the phone no longer is recognized.
Still hoping for guidance if it is at all possible to configure this device. Additionally, I would like to cultivate some mobile developer skills and would also like to use this device for educating myself. Much thanks for your support as I await your reply.

No ADB or somethig needed, just 4 touches my friend, If it's possible, go to the Begin-screen where the android is, touch the four corners of the screen on the upper-left, upper-right, down-right, above the black bar where all the buttons are, and down-left. If I am right, it would skip the whole sign-in screen and just go on the home-sceen. IF it works, just press that little thanks button up at my nickname, okay?????
I've tried to beam anything (photo, video, webpage, etc) from my Nexus 7 to my Galaxy Nexus and it won't work. I went into settings and made sure that NFC was checked and Android Beam on. This was the case for the GN but the 7 didn't allow me to select it. The NFC is checked but it's 'greyed' out and won't let me select it. Same with the Android Beam.
Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to solve it?
Many thanks in advance!

Do you have airplane mode turned on?
I may be wrong but I believe android beam only allows for web and application address data to be shared. Pictures and whatnot are to large for the NFC chip to handle.

Yea it passes small amounts of data although I just saw a SGSIII commercial at the movies where a guy does this. I'm not sure if it uses NFC the whole way or merely as a flag to turn on Bluetooth, pair, transfer, and disconnect... or use WiFi beam.

Did you ever find out a solution to your problem? I noticed I now have the same problem. I just used a NFC tag a week ago and am trying to figure out what I have done to the tablet since then. Definitely not in airplane mode.
EDIT: Never mind, a power off fixed it.
Is NFC turned on? settings > more > nfc - tick
Open Google Wallet
The NFC option on mine was not available until I activated (opened) Google Wallet.
Did you try a restart? Mine was greyed out last night along with NFC. Restart fixed it

This may not get you working, but it's definitely a little more insight as to what is happening for this type of transfer (larger payloads):
Android Beam
Android Beam is a popular NFC-based technology that lets users instantly share, just by touching two NFC-enabled phones together.
In Android 4.1, Android Beam makes it easier to share images, videos, or other payloads by leveraging Bluetooth for the data transfer. When the user triggers a transfer, Android Beam hands over from NFC to Bluetooth, making it really easy to manage the transfer of a file from one device to another.

I have bigger problem. My NFC and everything is working fine as far as software is concerned and the option is not out grayed out either. The option is checked however I am not able to beam anything to my SGS3. There is no sound or indication when I put them together from back. I know my SGS3 works fine because I have beamed someone before using it.

I had the same problem. All you have to do is shut down your Nexus 7 and turn it back on and you're all set.
Was trying to show someone wifi direct the other day and as it turns out it didn't want to work.
Went to album, selected a pic, pressed menu and share, scrolled down and there was no option for wifi direct.
I've also read that you have to pair with the device first.
I even tried an app that I used to use called SuperBeam which also didn't work.
Does anyone have this working?
I was attempting to send files to a Note 3, even android beam didn't work.
I don't use this feature all the time but it'd be nice to have a feature working if it's supposed to.
Cheers.
Superbeam works fine for me. 41mbps+ for large single file transfers

Same here. I was trying to connect via Wi-Fi to my TV Sony. I paired the devices but I never get it work and never displayed any pictures on the TV or even send them via Wi-Fi, I missing the option sending via Wi-Fi too. I don't know, I just give up.

for me it's mixed bag. sometimes it works like a charm, just press Throw, shows available devices, chosing one of them send the file to the output (photo, video, music). and sometimes - like after disconnecting and trying to connect again few minutes later - it doesn't work at all.
The point i'm trying to make is why on earth is it on the device if the device doesn't use it? I can't understand why a company would allow a protocol to be included and then not give the ability to use it?
On the vast majority of phone all you do is pick a file and select share, then choose wifi direct and off it goes, no need to be connected to wifi, infact you wouldn't even need a sim card to do it.
Such a stupid thing to happen and a bit awkward when someone with a sammy device is showing off a feature and even though yours has it it doesn't work lol.
I found myself saying "Ok just download this app" Bit long winded isn't it? I mean click share and click wifi direct job done, what gives ?
So I got a new toy. A Samsung Gear Live. I've had it for a week and so far really like it. The biggest issue I seem to be having is the companion apps. I don't know why, but they refuse to work. Everytime I try to use one I get an error message to the tune of, " not connected to a device with this application" or "lost connection to phone". This is clearly untrue. I can see that I'm still connected and even the device itself acknowledges it. I just can't figure it out.
I have attempted a power cycle, using the restart function, a hard reboot, even reseting it back to factory. I rebooted my phone, Uninstalled and reinstalled the apps on the phone, and still no luck. I'm at a loss. Anyone who knows what to do on this front would be very welcome.
What are companion apps?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Companion apps, are the apps that are activated on your smart watch. Like the dominoes easy order app, or a bank app that let's you check your balances without pulling out your phone.
I did find my problem however. It seems that my gear live was shipped with a dev kit. I had to completely reflash it to stock software to get it to run correctly.
How did you figure out it was a dev kit? Im having similar problems. Thanks.
Fixed the problem resetting the watch and reinstalling the Android wear app. However now in the storange manager its showing three of several apps. How to fix please?
You can find if it has a Dev kit under the settings. Under build I believe. It should be a set of numbers with "dev" somewhere in it. If that's there, it's gonna hold up your regular use of the watch. It caused the apps not to work right or not to show up, etc. I'll see if I can find the link I used before for how I reset the watch to stock firmware.
Hello,
is there any way to get the Tablet working ?
It is a demotablet from job and it was used to display one app with demofilms.
The app was locked so no customer could do other things with the tablet.
Only way to exit the app was a passcode. I have the pass and i thougth, i have a working tablet.
But some things, e.g. BT, are not working and a second look reveals some security measures.
The tablet can´t switch off
I can´t delete all and get factory settings
Install from other parties are greyed out
Perhaps someone can help ?
I have it send back to my employer but after a few days it came back in the same state.
It would be great if i can get it to work when the admin at the firm couldn´t (or wouldn´t)
My first thought is to drain the accu so the system is off and then charge it and go into recovery mode...
