Hello all,
New to this forum, first time poster. So I start this new thread because I am a bit frustrated with Infiniti and the development or lack there of specifically the InTouch app. As a Q50s owner, we were promised music apps. We are constantly being told that they are working on it but its now been two years.
The most recent app on the playstore has removed the music apps, however I was able to get my hands on one that does have Pandora, Iheart, twitter, and TripAdvisor. The problem is that when you try and select the added apps to sync with my car, I get an error. Wondering if anyone is willing to tackle this issue. I can email you the APK file that has the added apps. I am willing to donate and ill be willing to bet I can get a ton of other Infiniti owners to also donate to the cause.
I hope I was somewhat clear and if you need specifics, screen shots etc. please let me know.
Thanks all,
Would also like to know! Did anyone ever find anything out?

ok, i'm new to this whole downloading ''mods,UIs,themes, apps'' etc thing
is there any chance someone can just say which apps are actually worth downloading.
I don't need to stop my phone from turning off the screen whilst answering a call as i can quite easily over look this action because it doesn't pose a problem too me
however which apps are actually worth getting and work well with the phone?
It's all well and nice saying which apps work well on the touch, but without telling us what they actually do, this doesn't seem much use to us ''n00bs''
Just a quick list of useful apps and a brief description of what we can do with them would be so nice.
And why doesn't anyone use the built in media player? i had the diamond for a year and found it fine for watching videos and playing music (however for music i mostly use my cowon S9 so it's not much of a drama)
These types of threads are not permitted because there are no clear and concise answers to them. One person finds AppA to be very useful, and another person believes AppB kicks AppA's butt.
In short, research is your best friend.
Thanks,

So, I decided that the $5 for the car cradle from verizon was too tempting. I've recieved it and have been using it for a day or so and it serves it's purpose. A good charging station that keeps it from sliding around my center console. I'd like to utilize the CarCradle app, but with the removal of bing (I'm not disappointed by this) the app dead-ends when selecting Maps, Voice Search & Navigator. Would it be possible to re-establish links to Google Maps, Goodle Voice Search & Google Navigator instead? I know that there are many other car apps on the market but this one isn't terrible, providing that the links work.
I've unpacked the .apk file but it's like trying to read Swahili. I wouldn't know the first place to begin. I'd like to eventually try my hand at app building but I'm a long way off.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Peace,
Ray
sure, wouldn't be hard at all actually! I'll work on this sometime this week/weekend
wouldnt this be considered as warez if it was modded for foryo.
Thanks Trailblazer, I look forward to seeing your result. The desk cradle app is suffering from the same de-binged issue if you're interested. I still don't understand why Samsung didn't allow for any customization with these two apps. Oh well, it is what it is.
Bierce22, I don't know. If that were the case you could say the same about 75% of the apps that make their way out to the public. Transparent widgets and apps and such would be similar, I would think. For that matter the froyo rom we now have could be considered the same. But I don't know the ins and outs of all this stuff. I'm just a simple end user looking the get the most out of a pretty good phone with lots of potential.
this is just my opinion i dont wont to start a big debate or flaming contest but i remember when theimpailer got in trouble for modding andgry birds to get it to run on lower devices he took out the adds in order to make it work. i just dont want to see someone get into trouble. if u fix it then keep it to yourself and problem soloved lol.
It's all good, I didn't see it as the beginning of a flame anything. The way I see that situation, and I only know what you have posted here, is that Angry Birds is a paid app in the market. Modding that and reposting could be considered copyright infringement, much like reposting an mp3 of a song on the old Napster. These Apps are included as part of the Samsung android os. I guess to eliminate the possibility of being infringement the "proper" thing to do would be to mod the app and only include it in an updated ROM. That way only current Continuum owners could aquire the Apps. But the nature of the open source OS is the ability to freely share modification and development. At least that's the way I see it, for whatever that's worth. Thanks for keeping us honest though. Simply because you can doesn't always mean that you ought. I don't see any issue with this situation... Then again, I'm a little biased as I'm the one interested in the mod. ;-)

Cradle Apps
Hi All,
I started the same musings on the accessory thread, then I started downloading alternatives. I haven't tried any of them because my car cradle was working with Google Maps and Search. I wonder if the de-Bing rom works the same way. I haven't tried that either. I get the same errors you speak of with the original 2.2 rom. I think to use these alternatives you just need to use something like Root Explorer to rename the stock app and name the new one the original stock app name. Search and you shall see the results of the different apps. I can post what I found if needed.
Hi,
I am having this extreme annoying problem with Facebook Notifications. Even though this has to do with facebook fixing this stupid annoyance, i am looking for a solution until they actually think for the user and not for themselves.
Every time i am on the PC, whether i'm using Facebook Messenger or am actually browsing through facebook.com with the browser, if i get a notification, those of CHAT most of the time, i receive them on my phone as well. Now everything is fine and is working as it should, but i find it extremely annoying being notified on my phone when i am actually at the heart of facebook where nothing can pass away from my eyes (even ears)
I dont want to stop facebook messenger notifications (nor the facebook main app ones), i just want them to be ignored or call it NOT SENT when i am connected on the browser. There must be a way for facebook to prioritize the destination device (client, me) on where to send the notification or where not.
Regards.
Anything guys? im not a fan of double posts either.
If you haven't worked it out yet mate - this is nothing to do with anyone on XDA.
Yes, there is probably a way for Facebook to do what you want - so ask the guys at FB who are paid $100k+ to write the apps for that abortion of a social media site. I can't, for a minute, imagine that any Dev on XDA would waste their time taking apart a FB app (which would probably be contrary to XDA's terms and conditions) just to do this.
Bumping your post is not going to get you any help.
I've been a forum mod myself, i know the annoyance i am creating and i know the pain it causes, but believe me i am not proud of it, it is just killing me getting a notification at both places at the same time.
The reason why i'm asking is to look if anyone found a workaround, and i am amazed to see people not being annoyed by this matter.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That excuse is up there along with;-
"I don't want to interrupt you, but ..." - Yes you do or you wouldn't be doing it.
There is no workaround other than disabling notifications on FB. They probably don't want to allow people to turn them off as most people seem to thrive on getting notifications for FB as it makes them feel all important, so getting the notification twice makes them feel twice as important.
I would've found three better methods explaining your workarounds lets say in a more humane way. Remember, people ask questions to get answers, especially on a general discussion board.
Thanks anyway.
Most phones today have wifi direct. However, very few of these can actually use it to share files the way samsungs can. Of course, there are many 3rd party apps that can do it, and some quite well, but the thing they all have in common is that the app must be installed on both devices. (Unless using a web address on a browser on the receiving device, which is not so user friendly as apps like superbeam, or the samsung wifi direct share.)
Wouldn't it be great if all android devices came with a preinstalled app to do send large files back and forth, eith share options in all apps, like bluetooth share, only for wifi direct? Because lets face it, while blutooth is certainly useful, it's just too slow for anything more than a few picture or a short video.
So why not make a feature request in code.google.com, asking for a wifi direct share app to to be preinstalled in all devices, (in new android versions, that is, just to add another app to the gapps we already have,) or even just to be able to install from play store, just like google camera, the only difference being that all devices will be able to receive the file the way all phones can receive an incoming bluetooth file..
If this isea interests you, Post here, and if I see that thete is enough interest to actually make this worthwhile, I will post a new topic there and we can try getting as many people as possible to vote for it there, and maybe we might get our wish and the next version of android will include this! I can't believe it would be very difficult for google to implement.
So, does anyone else think this is a good idea? If you do then tell me and lets see if we can actually get built in wifi direct sharing on android!
I know that this post is a pretty common one but in certain way it is and in certain way it's NOT , why? Well, I've been searching and searching for a complete application and almost all have what is needed in order to satisfy you but for me, it doesn't, because most of this apps have a pretty old school UI, no material, no nothing, it's ugly to see them. So I'm asking for a complete app and if someone knows about one please tell me. Thanks
Deezer Music looks great, but I think this app is not free
