[Q] No button for Options - Sony Xperia M2

Hi,
I recently purchased Sony Xperia M2 and noticed that it doesn't have a button for "option"
which generally is there in phone of samsung etc
The problem due to this is that some apps doesn't have a interface which has option written somewhere and they rely on phones to go to options. Example of such app is -
Happy B'day! Birthday Reminder on google play store
is there any possible way through which we can go to options ?
Thanks

[Q] How does Google Play Market identify a device and filter its app list?

I am on a Galaxy Note i717R (Rogers variant) and I am running the OnlyOne Update 3.5 ROM. Since rooting and ROM'ing my device it is no longer able to see and download the tablet specific apps that I used to be able to. Specifically, my Swiftkey X Tablet keyboard is no longer visible in the Play Store.
When I run this app in landscape mode it no longer shows the keyboard. I strongly suspect it's because this ROM has many elements taken from the GS3 including whatever unique Device ID that the Play Store uses to filter its app list.
Are my suspicions true? If so, how does one change this ID so that I can re-install my tablet specific applications?
Many thanks for your help!

SW2 New App Website

Hi all,
I'm a new SmartWatch 2 user and I've already gone through and installed the very limited amount of apps that are interesting for me.
What I am struggling with is a single place to go to new apps. Is this something I can do in the Play Store? Doesn't seem very easy if there is.
A central hub with new apps for the watch would make things a lot easier - reviews not essential, but would be useful.

This is the most selective search for SW2 apps on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q="smartwatch 2"&c=apps
I couldn't find a better way...
You also can search with "liveware"
I find it easiest to go to the smartwatch application (fastest way to get there is by tapping on the 'SW2 connected' message in the notification pull-down) and select search for applications that are optimized for the SW2. This is at the top of the list of applications that are already installed.

I'm working on a portal for Smartwatch apps. I will post about it here when ready
Sounds good. The Play store needs an option to look for Smartwatch apps or a category.

So - any news?
I think there should be two main caegories:
1) Apps FOR the smartwatch
2) Apps for Anndroid btw supporting smartwatch (apps for phone having some SW2 support)
There is this app that you could try to make things a little easier but, it's not all that great. Still better than doing it manually on your phone from the Play Store though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blukzapps.smartwatch.sony&hl=en

[Q]Screen mirroring issue and other questions

Hi folks,
Proud owner of a brand new Z3. Did anyboty test the screen mirroring functions on it?
I have issues with it. - No sound when mirroring on a samsung smart tv f7000.
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?
Also, why is there no move to SD function for apps? - Is there a solution for this?
Also, selective call blocking, aka blacklist and spam sms - any good suggestion for a workaround?
Tks and brgs
Move to SD was removed back in Honeycomb. I believe Google's just now enforcing it, stricter play store rules.
You can do it with root and an app that does symlinking
I'm having no issues with the sound while mirroring to my Samsung HU6905, just checked vlc, the albums and YouTube.

Move to SD was part of Samsung's Touchwizz on my last smartphone (i9300). Tks for the pointer.
As for selective call blocking, still nothing found and I contacted sony about this... their answer :

Google App - device not compatible?

Hello
I´m confused about the following thing:
When opening Google App in Play Store on my z3 device OR with browser on desktop, i got a message that the app is not compatible with my devices!
So what happend?
Can anyone open the play store and search for Google App?
This is the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
On my tablet z4, the newest version is installed but also nothing to see in play store list or after a search for google app...
Is this a normal thing?
Greetings,
SirRobin
It works fine for me.
You may need to let people know if you are rooted and what ROM you are on. This may be a build.prop issue
I´m currently on stock Sony ROM without root or anything else - both for z4 tablet and z3 Smartphone.

Try logging out of google, clear cache on play store, and log back into google.
Google app in play store
I got the same thing today on both phone and tablet. Hope Google fix it
Google app in play store
Signed out of google. Cleared cache and data. Signed back in to google. Seems OK now.
I have a problem with the Google App and the Google Now Launcher.
Both the notification and navigation bars are solid colours (light blue and black respectively). This happened overnight when I switched ROMs and I haven't found a fix yet.
I am having the same problem. My Sony xperia Z3 doesn't have a default search engine and play store or apps store
