I just updated my watch to HarmonyOE 3.0.0.73 and I have to say I'm not impressed at all. Two new watchfaces, a (useless) change in Torch, addition of Torch in Shortcuts menu and a welcome "Lock screen" feature. That's far from what I expected from version 2 to 3.
Do anyone knows about other changes?

I have a UK-registered GT3, living in the U.S. Did you do anything special to get the update? Where are you located? The update hasn't appeared in the Health app for me yet.
What is the "useless" Torch change? (It might be useless to you but perhaps is something I'd like.)
Thanks.

Nothing special. I'm living in Romania, probably detected as so by Huawei Health. On another (romanian) forum, I saw that some got the update some days earlier. So it's not necessary related to country.
["useless"] Torch change: now you can choose the color, and you can choose to flash none/slow/fast.
All the other applications/features seems unchanged. Very little if you ask me. With the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 there were a whole bunch of improvements.

Thanks for the reply. You're right, those changes to the torch app do sound pretty useless. I guess it will roll out to me eventually; I did get previous updates, but nothing yet for this one.
Amongst my requirements for my first eWatch was being able to use it on the golf course for scoring and distances, and for payments. Others was a good looking watch.
(I couldn't care less about the hundreds of training apps.)
Huawei info and Youtube videos gave the impression the those were supported.
It doesn't seem like HarmonyOS gets me any closer to this.
And as said before, changing the color of the flashlight and watch faces moving in an arc isn't revolutionary.
Hardly something that needs an OS upgrade to accomplish.
I guess Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
HarmonyOS 3 ruined memory management on my watch. I start a timer, and the watch 9 out of 10 times will NOT buzz or ring when the timer ends until I turn on the screen.
Alarm failed to go off once.
Using the watch became slower and animations are choppy.
Very shoddy work.
Yep, update on Torch, and 2 new "DIY" watchfaces that are supposed to be customisable, like adding the picture of your choice. But it doesn't work.
As you said I don't know why they updated the major digit of their version...
I finally received the update this morning. Thanks to those who explored it earlier for sharing their experiences.
by the way, no update on Strava export : still no heart info, wrong sport selection, and big difference on activity distances...
Is it just me, or is the Build Number missing from the About area of settings (to enter developer mode)?
I noticed a worsening in training modes after update 3.0.0... In swimming mode, a bug is being recurrent, where training monitoring simply stops and returns to the home screen. Anyone else suffering from this problem?

I don't use swimming, but the three I do use - elliptical, strength, and outdoor walk - all seem to be unchanged after the update.
On my gt3 pro, I'm going to test other modes, but I don't understand why it stops training monitoring.
Today I trained and it worked normally.
I think it might be a battery related bug. Yesterday I was training with the battery below 30%, today it was at 97%.

Hello.
I got a new update today : firmware 3.0.0.76 (SPIC00M11).
Release note indicates :
"1-Improve system stability in some situations"
"2- Optimise system stability in some situations"
very clear no ?
For the moment I haven't noticed any changes.

Hi guys,
I would like some feedback of my first App on android. It's free and it doesn't have any ads, which means that basically I'm making no money with it
I wanted to know the bugs first and receive some feedback before going any further. I don't own many mobile phones at the moment and all I got is some friends (nexus one) and an emulator to try this app.
My questions are:
- Could you please try this app. and give me some constructive feedback?
- If you like the app, could you rate it on android market, please?
(thank you in advance!)
Description:
Check more than 150 CCTV cameras around London.
Whether you are a tourist or a Londoner you can use this simple but effective application to "auto-detect" some of the nearest CCTV cameras around you.
You can also find some cameras (in London) by typing the street name.
(This software is not endorsed, affiliated or owned by TfL)
Screenshots:
("new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed" )
(I've been reading the forum for a while but this is my first post, I think)
Thank you.
Edit:
New in 0.4b:
- some bug fixes
- backwards compatibility
(I was forced to change the layout, I'm wondering whether it still works on 2.2 as it used to. Hope so!. Thank you for testing this app!)
Force Closed for me on froyo N1. Seems well thought out, and maybe it'll work better on 2.1 >
I personally have no practical use for this, not living in London, but as the description says, it might be useful for tourists and residents etc.
Hopefully other people might be able to get it to work successfully on other versions of android.
Keep up the work - nice to see new devs who don't just make spam apps.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It's very helpful. I had the chance to try the app on a google nexus one (so far 2.1 and 2.2 only).
I think I should probably put some restrictions on my sdkversion (I'm gonna read a bit more about that but if someone want to share some hints regarding that matter I'm all ears!)
Once again, THANK YOU!
EDIT: have you got the chance to see any screen before the "force close"?
have you been using 3G when this happened? (Thanks)
Works good dude...i just don't know any street names in London - lol
I saw Cambridge from your screenshot...it worked awesome
Running Nexus One CM6 Froyo 91
@bong_sniffer Thank you for your feedback. This is the first comment I've got from someone I don't know in person saying that it works. Cheers mate!
@grandmasterethel I've found the problem (I think). It's because I was using something available just in 2.2. ("street view" button). I'm gonna try to fix that for "backwards compatibility".
Now that you mention it, yes I was on 3G. It loaded the main menu just fine, and then it found the nearest camera to me (not even close because I don't live in london, but I imagine it is the closest really) but the when I pressed the button to get the camera view, it crashed.
fc on froyo over wifi
@ermacwins, @grandmasterethel, sorry to bother again but, I wanted to ask if please, when you got the chance, could you possibly try again the new version 0.4b and tell me how it goes?
does it work? does it cause the FC at the same point?
Once again, thank you for your feeback!
still fc on stock 2.2
Have it running on FRF91 build FroYo fine. Not that keen on the UI though. Button alignment and graphics are a bit off.
Not an issue though as it's a beta and it's free. Really handy application though.
Looking forward to the next build. Keep the good ideas rollin'.
@markouk thank you for your feedback. I wanted to ask you, can you use the UI or is it seriously messed up?. Sorry about that, I had to change the UI after changing the sdkversion and, for some reason -all of a sudden- the UI just changed. I'll be working on that. The UI is not going to be "amazing" but at least I hope to have everything organised.
@UmarKhan Thank you for your report. Finally, I managed to get FC while testing in a place with poor GPS reception. To some extent, I'm happy it happened to me, because I can finally understand what's happening, so, I'll be working on that issue!
Thank you all for trying the app, I'll be trying to solve those bugs.
Just gave it another try. Works perfectly on FRF91. Congratulations.
Sorry for the delay by the way, was AFK for a few days.
@grandmasterethel thank you for your feedback. I found another bug when there's poor GPS reception but I'm working on it (as well as the UI). If you find another FC, please, let me know.
UPDATE:
We just released the RC build. If your previous version are on RC build, you will get auto-updated. Have fun!!
- Add bookmark as desktop shortcut
- Improve performance and battery usage
- Share page
- Find in page
- Expand menu to two pages
- Support geolocation
- Import/Export bookmark via SD
- Support App2SD
- Improve web-plugin discovery
- Add Korean/Italian/Triditional Chinese/Russian
-------------------------------------------------------------
These days are one of the most happy days of our team. With all the help, we released our i18n version and it is very well received. Now we have more users outside China than inside China Again, thank everyone esp. those provide language package and suggestions!!!!!
As I said, our journey just begin and you can expect many updates from us Ok for update target on 12/4.
- Find in page
- Share page
This feature is actually in right now. You have to long-press the address bar to get it. Apparently, this is bad UI. We are adjusting)
- Export/Import bookmark (FF/Chrome, etc)
Again, this feature is there as well. Just now it only work in a special directory. We will let you pick the directory where those bookmark files are
- YouTube related issues
We receive a lot of YT related issues. Please help us by being a bit more specific on your Android version and specific steps to reproduce. YT is blocked in China so it is very difficult to reproduce issues. Bear with us on this for a while.
- Refine translation and more languages
We plan on Korean and Russian
- i18n Top site
We need help here. Different country have its own top sites. We included the English one in the attachment. It should be fairly easy to understand.
"cat" means catagory. class: if equal("m") means site optimized for mobile device. otherwise means just vanilla www site (mostly pc experience)
We need your help to build for other language.
- App2SD support
Alright. This is a lot of work for us. So we may not finish everything...
Please
- Give us comment on more things need to fix
- New feature request
- Help on i18n on top sites and interface
- All other things))
I created http://groups.google.com/group/miren-browser for MIREN-only discussion.
Thanks everyone. We will TRY HARD!!!!!
Russian translation
I sent you russian translation about two weeks ago. You can find it here . So if you'll include it to the next build, I'll check strings and UI aswell.
Thank all your team for great job.
keep up the good work, this browser has quickly and easily became my favorite.
I made a Dutch (nl) Top Sites list, please include it in the next release .
On the Android Market I saw a comment on the browser in Dutch, and the comment is very negative. I've translated it to English:
"Very slow browser, many lags when loading links. I shouldn't recommend it. Samsung Galaxy S 2.2"
Maybe you can do something about it?
I think you should try to improve the overall Performance (scrolling, zooming etc.) because this is imho the biggest negative aspect of your browser.
But nice work, it has very much potential!
Why do you keep opening new threads. Keeping your updates to one thread is much more easier. I don't even see you replying to my question about the screen brightness issue in my previous post.
Here is link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9428813&postcount=11
i want this as default, but flash content renders over the address bar and it looks buggy and tacky. improve full screen settings. hasten loading times. and re-arrange text to zoom then im all in
Thanks for the feedback so far
Few points:
- We apologize if we didn't response fast enough. We will try to catch up
- Please suggest the best way to maintain a thread in XDA. We actually are very new to XDA and don't know the appropriate way. It seems not possible to change the Title of the original thread. Thus it is hard to tell we want to discuss a new RC instead of the old one. Anyway, please suggest. We want XDA members to try out new RC every one/two weeks and provide suggestions before it goes to market update.
- On performance. We are very serious about it. Please give us more specific steps so we can debug it out. Performance will be a main theme throughout our update cycle.
Yes, we got it thus why the RU version is possible.
Thanks again!

Cache to sd please. Or something. App is getting huge.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm having problems with flash playback. I get audio on videos posted to Facebook, but no visual. The same videos play great on the stock browser.
Flash on ESPN is very laggy.
I don't really have any of the performance issues that the others are talking about to be honest. I think the browser is actually very fast.
The one suggestion I would have is to highlight things when you are selecting them with your finger. This applies to the blue menu at the bottom of the screen and also to the bookmarks/history etc. When you click on an entry it should be highlighted, otherwise it looks like the screen has frozen.
Keep up the excellent work.

Feature request:
When typing in a URL, have the address bar give a drop down that provides suggested URLs with a choice of common extensions (.com, .net etc). It would be awesome if you could also generate a list of choices based on your current location (e.g. if in Australia it would also suggest .com.au, or in china .com.cn)
But loving this browser already keep up the good work!
Hi,
Great Browser, I have two suggestions
1. Suggestions when searching
2. Bookmarklets (Javascript run as url). I use www.lastpass.com and they provide bookmarklets which will fill in log-in details. These work in Dolphin HD but not Miren. There are many other sites which produce bookmarklets for various reasons.
Thanks
1. should be implemented already. However a bug prevent suggestion showing. Should be fixed next week
2. We are investigating.

So I am the developer of a little known Tapatalk alternative forum reader called Forum Fiend. The app has come a long way since I released it last fall. The reason for my post is that I have noticed XDA is the #3 site accessed through Forum Fiend, so there might be a couple of users around here. Was wondering if people could share their issues with the app or provide feedback on how to make it better. My goal is to provide a fully functional and superior forum browsing experience vs Tapatalk.

I just tried it and it's a good start. It needs some work like labelling. Right now, it's just a box with the word "Add". Need a tutorial or something to guide the user into what or how to get into a forum. Right now, I had to guess and put the entire web address in the box. The key at the bottom needs a label. Even something as simple as "login" or something. I'm no IT/Tech expert but I can get around and figure stuff out. Not everyone is tech savvy so they need a little guidance.
Need a way to access favorite forums. XDA, for example, is a large forum. People don't like to scroll through every phone or tablet to find their forum.
Hopefully, this helps a little. I don't want to sound critical but these are things you need to know.
Taptalk is the gold standard right now but I like competition so good luck.

THANK YOU this is the kind of feedback I'm looking for
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Forum Fiend v1.2.5.
I've been looking for something to replace Tapatalk, and I've looked at FF a few times. Figuring out how to get a forum loaded was confusing. The only way I figured out how to get on to XDA was happening to see it on the Play Store pictures. Logging in was a bit awkward too. When I saw the key at the top, I figured it was a link to purchase a pro version or something.
Most of all though, the look of it kept me from switching over. It feels dated. From the default cartoon avatars before logging in to a forum and icons, to the font and colors, it just feels a little off, although the action bar looks fine. I also feel like the slide out navigation is sort of wasted on the settings menu and active users, neither of which I use much. They might be better suited for faster navigation, search, showing subscribed forums/topics.
The number 1 reason, though, that I am looking for a Tapatalk replacement is the ability to bypass the forum selection page since I only use XDA. If it could detect that only one forum is present and automatically enter that one when opening the app, that would be legit.
Sorry to seem like I was going on and on. I think it has good potential, and some easy-ish fixes can make a world difference.

Thanks, this is good feedback. I have read other comments in the market also saying the interface looks dated, but I am not entirely sure what a more modern interface looks like. Do you consider the general look and feel of Tapatalk to be a good example of modern, that I can use as a guide to work off of?
As for automatically going to a specific forum, that would certainly be easy to add. I was thinking of letting users place icons for their specific forums on their homescreen, so they could launch each forum just as they would a stand alone app. They would probably be widgets technically, but could look just like a normal app icon.

A holo interface would be nice keeping in time with current Google design and the majority of apps that currently being published.

Can you pleae explain what else is tracked and how?
I appreciate the fact you asked for the voice of community. I guess it's somewhat vital for application's life, if anything else for gaining people's attention. Anyway, first thing I noticed when I installed Forum Fiend (yeah, I installed Forum Fiend now for the first time) was the fact that you need to manually enter forum server's URL. It's not a major PITA, but perhaps it would be nicer if it was done the Tapatalk way. The design is quite up-to-date IMHO, but as Jesellers88 said, default icons are cute, but kind of unprofessional, I'm afraid.
Also, BBCode support is a quite handy feature which Tapatalk does not offer (kudos!), but a full-fledged editor with preview, code and other stuff depending on what each forum allows would be even better, though Tapatalk offers nothing.
To summarize: Forum Fiend is quite a nice application, but above mentioned suggestions (mine and from others in this thread) would bring it to perfection, I suppose. This post was intended to be a constructive critique and in no manner something intended to offend your work. I'm not an application developer or anything alike so this is my two cents .
Seems really interesting. Will certainly keep an eye on this project.
nice work. one issue encountered: app crashes when using "Last Page" function on a 1 page post. probably want to handle that better.

Yes sure, I use Google Analytics to track page views, and also I track an event each time a server connection is made (server URL only, no other information is tracked).
I also send server connection information (again, URL only) to a database at my website, so that in the future I can implement a "most popular" forums section.
I see someone saw my comment.
Thank you thank you thank you. I can't stand the Tapatalk app. You have my thanks and full support!

I appreciate the fact you asked for the voice of community. I guess it's somewhat vital for application's life, if anything else for gaining people's attention. Anyway, first thing I noticed when I installed Forum Fiend (yeah, I installed Forum Fiend now for the first time) was the fact that you need to manually enter forum server's URL. It's not a major PITA, but perhaps it would be nicer if it was done the Tapatalk way. The design is quite up-to-date IMHO, but as Jesellers88 said, default icons are cute, but kind of unprofessional, I'm afraid.
Also, BBCode support is a quite handy feature which Tapatalk does not offer (kudos!), but a full-fledged editor with preview, code and other stuff depending on what each forum allows would be even better, though Tapatalk offers nothing.
To summarize: Forum Fiend is quite a nice application, but above mentioned suggestions (mine and from others in this thread) would bring it to perfection, I suppose. This post was intended to be a constructive critique and in no manner something intended to offend your work. I'm not an application developer or anything alike so this is my two cents .

Thanks for the feedback. A preview mode for the BBCode editor would certainly be easy to accomplish, so I will probably be adding that in there.
The primary reason I do not have a forum listing/browsing option like Tapa, is that I do not have access to Tapa's massive forum database (at least, not that I know of). I agree that it sucks having to manually type in the server address though. To try to somewhat get around this, I have been logging which servers are being accessed from the app (server address only, no personal info), and plan on adding a "most popular servers" list, or some other way to browse. It is the best I can come up with for the time being though :-/ If anybody has suggestions on better ways to implement this though, I am open to any ideas!

Thanks, with time and work I hope to be able to rival or surpass the quality of the official app.

Thanks. The reason I started this project, and the reason I lost faith in Tapatalk, is because I had previously bought their "pro" app. Then they downgraded it to a free app and released another paid pro version. I wanted something that works without getting nickeled and dimed!

I don't mind paying if it works. Tapatalk is awful.

In the past few weeks, I've updated the app to fix a lot of bugs, added support for more countries other than US (US, Canada, Australia, and India!), and made buttons prettier! Also I don't really know how to change the post title to reflect the version number - does anybody know how?
Thanks!

This app looks very nice. I bet it's a very useful. I would need and love to use it, but unfortunately it's unavailable in Romania, Europe. I hope you will add support for more countries in the future. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thank you! Here is an apk if you want to download it:

Some of the material may not be applicable but the majority should be fine (ignore resource links, emergency number, etc.).

Hello XDA-Developers!
we developed an App for Android that should help playing "Clash of Clans", most of you probably know that Game. Or to specify, it should make playing it more convenient.
What it does is the following:
It checks if the loot of your enemy is as high as you want it to be - if not, it presses the "Next"-Button to find another enemy. This goes on until a suitable enemy is found, you then get notified per Sound and/or Vibration.
Why is this necessary?
Because watching the "clouds", as it is called in the CoC Universe, is really annoying and can take really long. With this, you can put your phone aside and wait until you get notified. And ofc it's quite convenient.
So what is our problem, what is this thread for?
We already released it some month ago, but we have the feeling that something is not working. We use screenshot-functions, OCR,... and it's quite difficult to check for all available devices. We already got some feedback (per E-Mail and here on XDA Labs) that it does not work on specific devices, and we fixed that.
But we do not know how high the number really is where it is not working.
We also tried to message the guys that gave us a "not working" feedback here on XDA Labs, but unfortunately, they did not respond.
To improve ourselves, we would really like to have some more feedback!
We would be really thankful!

Greetings
Is it possible to be banned using this app?

Hello, thank you for your question!
We (developers) use it since morte than a year, and we didn't hear of any problem of that kind with it from any user.
If you want to be absolutely sure, you could set the Loot to the minimum, so Loot Finder does not press "Next" for you and only operates as an Alarm when an enemy village is found.
Greetings,
your Loot Finder Team
Hi OP, I am a big fan of this app and just wanted to say that this app doesn't work anymore in Android 11. Please update it to work with Android 11 since all Android 10 ROMs are EOL(dead) now for my device and I'm only clinging on to Android 10 just for the sake of this app. Thanks for your great work on making life easy as a CoC player.
