Hi there,
I wonder why there is no fring for android. There is a big thread in their forums:
http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8336
(unfortunatly the Blackberry thread is bigger :ugly)
Maybe the dont get enough feedbacK from the android community?! So what do you xda-developer members with an android device think about an online petition?
Alternativly you can hammer their "Your handset is not supported ... yet." form:
http://reg.fring.com/app/newhandset... your Email Addres&country=Enter Your Country
You probably have to choose the G1 because its the only Android phone in the list...
Hi There,
Omri from fring here.
We are working on the Android version. It takes time but I can promise you that this version is worth the wait...
Re: Blackberry
Unfortunately it is not possible to develop an application that will play and record audio at the same time on the Blackberry platform, that's the main reason for the lack of a Blackberry version.
I will add a few more Android devices to the waiting list so you can leave your email and we will let you know once it's out.
You can also follow us on twitter for the latest news (@fring) or subscribe to our blog www.fring.com/blog
I'll be around so if you have any questions I'll be happy to assist.
Have a great day.

Hi Omri,
thank you for your answer. Happy to hear that you guys are onto it. I hope that it is going to be a full version, not crap like skype lite (no voice chat) or any other im app for android (which unfortunatly are all not satisfying, regarding function and quality).
Thanks again...

Thanks for the reply... been waiting for this for a while. Would be interesting to find out the time scale of this!
Condensing into one thread various queries on above subject :
1) Is MB865 capable of GLONASS or is it a hardware specific feature?
2) Why is Google Earth not available for India in Google Play when we can use it on the pc here? (just looking for thoughts / comments)
3) Why is voice guided navigation not provided for India (Garmin Navigon, Nokia Maps have it & Nokia also has a Nokia Maps multi platform mobile browser app) - (just looking for thoughts / comments)
4) Can anybody specifically share their experience for Navigon India as they are charging mucho bucks for their apps & need to know is it worth??
5) What according to you (especially senior members) are your favorite offline maps apps?? Share the names please.
6) Any other GPS tips / tricks would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I could be incorrect... but I believe that you would need a GLONASS chipset in order to access that Satellite Coordinate system
Please someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
On the lack of Google Services in India... look around for some articles on this... there just may be one that explains the lack of said services... either that or Google just hasn't worked out a deal yet.
I don't live in India, so not much help on the Navigation quality of India Maps....
Oh... and Google Maps has a caching ability builtin to the Labs in Settings. This should cache a 10 mile area that is selected.
Hope this info helps and good luck finding a Nav software you like!!!!

@nephillim - came across an article on the forum somewhere on an modified "Play" store app allowing install options for countries not included for some some app's (but beta bugs & hence not so keen). Appreciate your other inputs. Thanks!

As most have heard, Google Reader is due to be shut down in July.
This petition has been gaining a lot of steam in a short time. If you are an avid user of Google Reader or the apps that use it's API, it's worth trying to get Google to change their mind.
Please sign the petition here.

That kind of sucks because a big reason I wanted to buy a phone with a fingerprint reader was to use Android Pay. Has anyone gotten it to work?
Got the same error
Same error here, too
I got the same error. So far, it's the most disappointing thing I've encountered.
This interest me, might be a deciding factor. Hope Blu figures it out.

Could it be the device is so new Google hasn't added it yet to the list of supported devices?

That's an interesting possibility; I didn't consider that Google may have a whitelist of supported devices. If I had to guess, though, I wouldn't think so. There are thousands of Android devices out there more introduced every day so trying to manually maintain a list like that would be difficult even for Google.
I suspect the problem is something worse. The version of Android on this phone appears to be far from stock Android. I think core pieces of the OS are modified enough that Android Pay's checks that you are running on a secure, uncompromised device fail. Few of the built in screens and features look like vanilla Android. The OS on thsi phone really does look like a toned-down version of MIUI from a couple of years ago. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely not Android as Google thinks it should be.
I reported the issue to Google from within the Android Pay app. I think you guys should do the same to bring this to their attention. Maybe they can pressure Blu to fix the issue?

Hi, Pedro.
I'm sorry that you ran into an error message on your Android Pay app! I understand how frustrating that can be.
The specific error message that you saw means that your device can't support Android Pay's advanced security. If you've heavily modified your device, may I recommend returning it to its original state and trying again? Otherwise, you may want to use Android Pay on a different device for the most secure payments.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email or let my team call you. We're happy to help!

Hi guys. There is still hope. I will notify Blu as well. Please see below for a response from Google Support Team:
Hi, mhajii210.
Thanks for contacting Google and for your interest in Android Pay!
Yes, I have noted your request to have this device checked for eligibility and having the Android Pay be made available for your device too.
That being said, I have laid out some info about the eligibility for Android Pay.
The Android Pay app is compatible with Android phones running KitKat (4.4) or higher with "near field communication" (NFC) tap and pay capability. (For security, Android Pay isn't compatible with rooted/modified devices.)
To check whether your phone supports tap and pay, please see our Help Center.
Device purchased in US
SIM card manufactured in US
Device is on supported carrier
Rest assured that I have noted your request to ask our engineers to look into having the app for the device you mentioned.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email or let my team call you. We're happy to help!

This being an unlocked phone doesn't that kind of kick it out from being supported for this reason "Device is on supported carrier"?

Nexus line of phones are unlocked but of course they support Android Pay. As long as the phone uses a US SIM card on an approved carrier, it is fine. The problem is this phone is running an Android version that has not been certified to use Android Pay. It is possible if both Google and Blu work together that may change in the future. I think it really depends on how well this phone sells. If there is enough of a demand it'll happen. At this point I'm not holding my breath. It never hurts to try though since it is in Google's best interest to get Android Pay to work on as many phones as possible.
Great!

Let's see what's going to happen, it is obvious that because this phone's rom is so modified, it is the reason. I hope Android Pay work this out to make sure it is "Secure" for them. :good: Finger crossed

There is an update as of 11/6/2015 on Android Pay app, but the device still incompatible.
So, i haven't verified it works yet, but with HTC Sense loaded as my launcher I was able to activate my card in Android Pay. This didn't work previously but this time i was using a cellular connection versus wifi to activate. I will try to test it tonight.

I used that page you provided, installed the HTC Sense Home, and walla!! it works! I activated 5 of my cards already.
I found on the reddit , seems appeared some new beta with Alexa for American device, of V181.
I have Middle East Mate 9, but now I shall rebrand and try this because I have credits left. I never try Alexa before but before now it's never voice wakeup anything useful. This time maybe it's more useful.
They post like this and screenshots:
Anyway I will announce everyone about how is it! Very excited!
Source is here: links removed
actually some of us do care
New firmware is always interesting from the POV of improvements and new features, though I fail to see the appeal of Alexa built in to the firmware... Google Assistant has been rolled out (and based on above, it sounds like it works better), and Alexa could be downloaded as a separate app anyway.
Looking forward to Alexa on the mate 9. I like Alexas voice so much better than siri or Google assistant/home.
"Okay Emy, open Alexa"
Oh dear Lord.
