Lookout from T-Mobile Questions - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Does anyone use it?
Should I be using it?
Does it actually work?
If no, what should I be using?

It's a well developed app and for the most part is good. I have a close friend who works as an engineer for them. However it's not necessary and I disable it myself.
If you are the type of person who downloads shady apps and goes to shady websites then it's probably worth keeping.

I pay for the insurance and it comes with the premium so I kept it like the fact takes a picture if someone tries to unlock the phone more than 3 times.

Its cool that they include it but I always disable it.

Could you elaborate on this particular "other nonsense" that comes with this app? I have not looked to deeply into knowledgeable-users reviews yet, and still am perusing through various forums for this kind of information...

Do you root to disable it? Or is there a non-root method for disabling this particular bloatware?

Its been a while and probably a number of devices later but I think you can just go into app and disable it, I don't think you need root.

[Q] Unlocking the sensation?

I have no idea why I would do this but people have told me multiple times to do it that it is essential for a rooted phone.
So far I know I can use different services?
I use Tmobile US so that means I can use Verizon?
Does that work for data too? I don't get data service very well in school but I know Verizon does.
So will that help me out?
I'm not being rude but what are you on about? Your post isn't very clear as to what information you require. Most of your post seems to be statements with question marks.
the hardware in the sensation is not compatible with verizon.. so no.

you will be able to use it with different GSM providers though, and oversees etc. its not a bad thing at all to do.

Your right. I apologize, I wasnt paying much attention to my post because I'm trying to keep up with class.
Basically my question is, what would unlocking my phone offer me?

I assume you are referring to S-OFF and root as opposed to unlocking it so you can put different carrier SIMs in it (assuming compatibile network frequencies).
Flexibility to try different ROMs. (e.g. get rid or bloatware).
Opportunity to back up the phone (Nandroid).
Opportunity to back up the Applications and associated data (Titanium).
Make sure you don't have Carrier IQ on you phone.
....
....
not exactly haha
but you did answer me with one line of your post.
I have a perm root on my phone.
running miui.us
"quadband" is what I'm used to hearing it called
that just means I can use any sim card?

[SOLVED] Can't sign in to Amazon app store

Just got my HOX today and can't figure out why I can't sign on to the Amazon app store. I downloaded the latest apk from Amazon and it installs fine but it gives me a "please enter a valid email and password" message every time I try to sign in. I even went through the lost password wizard and changed it with the same result. WTF?
Known issue? Something wrong with Amazon? An I am idiot?

Just downloaded it today. Works fine for me on WiFi. Got it logged in and everything.
If you're on mobile try logging in when on WiFi, if you're on WiFi try logging in when only connected to mobile. I used to have some weird problems like that.

go to amazon.com, login, go to devices and deregister all your devices. Once you hit like 20+ it wont allow you to sign in anymore. Its stupid really, but w/e. Its a common problem for flashaholics like myself.

That was it, thanks! I never would have figured it out on my own. Could Amazon not write an appropriate error message so their customers know what's going on?
By the way, I counted and number is 25.

Experiencing Slow Games

Hey guys I have a Huawei Y511 which has a 512 mb ram and 1.2 gigs processor . Now i know that its a low end device and all but games which in my veiw shouldnt lag at all are lagging very much like Angry Birds GO and some 3D games.... Idk what the problem is tbh but can you please give me some ways in which I can speed up these games so i dont get any lag it can require rooting or whatever procedure but please help...... Thanks in Advance..
It seems that your device is just not build for games. If your phone is rooted you can extend your ram (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934360)
I hope this will help you
Umm it can run fifa 14 and other games like dead trigger 2 even....
But which are graphic intensive as hell but on the other hand it starts lagging on even 80 mb games.....
You can try graphics optimizer, gltools
---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------
I also had same problem but with gltools now I can play any games without lag
---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------
You can find it on play, it's paid app though
Aight thanks dude but can you give me a bit of an insight on what setting exactly i should use to make it lag free ?
im a noob in this area

I cracked the file, root is must for this!
Download, go to mediafire and paste this after the slash (/):
?fa4d6fcd70s4c
It contains sb gamehacker for accessing the app. And the gltools app itself
When installing gltools and openingit, it says only real haxers can access (i am one xD)
How to hax the access?
Instructions:
Open game hacker
Open gl tools after installing with root perm.
It asks to click the button with a specific number, the button is not there so create it;
Enter the number of one of the buttons and change it to the number it asks you to press.
Then click the button that still shows the old number that you changed in the asked number.
The app now should give you access!

Different phones have different configuration, so one must try with all the configuration and see which works on his/her device. Again different games need different configuration, so I can't just tell some configuration and let him stuck in running a game overnight.

And no offense dude/gal, I did helped him at the first place, mentioning gltools, try to respect people, OK? You can't play games just using swap file. And after i mention it you just came with a cracked version and the idea "oh yeah i can play games with gltools! And I think you aren't the one who to decide whether I will stay in this group or stay in the moon! Check my profile to make sure if I've helped people or not.....
And cracking paid app/ releasing them is prohibited in XDA, don't fire on me if you get banned or something happens to you.

Nike + Running app

Hi
The Nike Running+ app on my samsung galaxy s6 edge has updated to "Nike+ run Club"
So now the watch will not connect to Nikes' "Running +" app om my gear S2. My watch says " install Nike + Running, log in and start runnning.
This happened after I updated phone app.
Anyone else has this problem? I cannot find and update for my Gear S2!
So nowI cannot sync my runs from watch to phone..
Same problem here.
I have the same issue. Keeps wanting me to install nike+ on my phone which is already there. Tried u installing and reinstalling but no change. Given Nike+ isnt eve in the Samsung appstore for the S2, I doubt we will see an update to the watch app until there is a firmware update. Big fail IMO as this was the only running app available for the S2.
Has anyone got this to work yet? Miss not having run tracking on my wrist.
The Nike+ app was as buggy as anything in my honest opinion over the last few firmware updates. No new features. It just got worse and worse. The last firmware update brought some improvements but it would appears more new bugs with it too. As I see it, Samsung's strategy is to move everyone away from Nike+ and attract more people to their own "in-house" tracking app being the S Health program. Just look at how S Health has evolved over the last few updates compared to the orphaned Nike+ app. I guess Samsung just wants the name in there to suck in as much money as possible. Moving consumers from a big name they know and trust to an in-house brand is difficult though.
I would have thought that since these wearable devices are non-essential that they would be pouring more resources into getting them working right and keeping it that way with improvements on top to keep a polished reputation and attract more customers in the long run. Have you noticed that Ebay for Gear S2 has been pulled out too?
What are your thoughts?
I will have to give S-Health another try. Never found it as accurate as others as it bases (or based) distances on step counts. Wish the major players like MapMyRun, Runtastic, RunKeeper would develop apps for Tizen. Fingers crossed with the S3 now announced, that these players will be more likely to consider it.
The Nike Running App is now totally orphaned. Nike have updated their mobile phone app and have made it totally incompatible as a result. Try firing up your Nike+ app now. It will advise you to install the Nike app on your phone, even though it's already installed. Therefore, we now have one integrated, uninstallable, orphaned useless fitness app on our flagship Samsung Smartwatch and another featured app, the 'Ebay for gear' which has been discontinued before the release of the next flagship. Anyway, you already knew that, my point was, that I checked on the Nike Support Twitter stream and saw that other people like us who own this watch are asking Nike to give us some information about where to go from here. Nike support simply say they are passing on our expression of interest onto their appropriate department. No commitment from their side really at all. It's all rather disappointing.

Apple takes another bite
Nike has a brand new special edition Apple watch out today. I'm sure Apple made them sign an exclusive deal, so they had to kill support for the gear. What else could explain the sudden death of the app? What a waste. What really bugs me is that Endomondo had an app for the gear 2 (all Tizen friendly and everything), but they haven't ported it to the S2, even if you subscribe. So lame. Glad I kept that old watch around.

How do you find/install old versions of apps? Do you have to flash a new ROM? I'm kind of a n00b in that respect.

There are all sorts of apk mirror sites, google around a bit for reputable ones and you should be able to find it pretty easily. I did a side by side comparison running with a friend and did find that Nike + isn't all that accurate on my watch. It was off by a good 1/4 mile, maybe just the GPS on my watch?

Since the last update, the app still doesnt work.
Hello, i had the same problem too.
ANd the new app Nike Run Club (even last version 2.2.1) is too buggy ! (No connection mith Gear S2, music stop, no coment, screen off, etc. And nike remains deaf to customer reviews that detect all the same bugs)
So a download the 1.6 version on APK Mirror and, it works.
I'm looking for another app to replace nike run club, and that could retrieve all my races, any idea ?
What the heck is wrong with this people. First we lost the Samsung Milk, Now Nike Running. What do they want? Sell the gear s and do not use anymore? So stupid new generation software engineering thats basicly what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the info it workd now. But how much education you need to coordinate this with samsung? Either do not push the updates if you know Samsung watches will not work, or say something.
Basicly they do not care about the watch owner and they say, hey we have.more individual app owners than watch owner so lets push the updates

Google apps on P40 Pro

Hi everyone,
You may not know this yet but, you can still access your Gmail log in via the Huawei Email client. Google maps does work via Phone clone but you cant log in o the account for timeline. You can still get from point a to b using this, or use Here We Go maps which is every growing and pretty impressive.
Hey! Yes here we go is banging to be honest, I actually saw the here we go van routing a small village in Swansea the other day, I cant upload the picture but ive got one lol. But 100% logging in via the Huawei client for email is no different at all, its the same as people using it for sky, Tiscali or whatever other supplier. It makes zero difference to me where I access my mail as long as I access my mail.
I love here we go as it tells me where the speed cameras are ahha, very useful lol
My work sometimes ask me for timelines of my travelling throughout the day can get this on maps now. Anyone got any ideas on if here we go has this feature?
Waze is better and works perfectly.
