The YouView Smartphone App, Not So Smart

I thought ''that will be good to have'' incase I want to set recordings when away from home.
However, if you have your set top box set to High Eco the app reverts that back to Low Eco and then if you spot this and try to reset that mode to your original setting the whole App becomes just too much bother.
First you need to disconnect mobile connection(s) namely the App and remember to reconnect the same thing before you leave home incase you want to use it again (which is quite time consuming in its present design) .... and so on and so on .............
So I just deleted the app and will live without it until I hear it has been updated to some useful ''being''

What's the problem?
When the box is in High Eco Mode it is entirely off, everything is powered down and only the internal timer is running so that it records any pre-scheduled shows. That's why it takes so long to boot up.
In this mode the box cannot check in with the YouView server for any new recording instructions. In the Low Eco mode the box is only snoozing like a PC and can check every 15 minutes for any new recording instructions.
Even if the box in High Eco mode COULD wake itself up every 15 minutes to check for any new recording instructions, what would be the point of it being in High Eco mode when it was going to wake up 4 times an hour?

    Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Sorry to say but they have. And even advertised it on their home page as recently as today. You can view about 70 different channels on your iPhone or iPad. Anyone else out there who knows the answer?

  • The New Photo App Not Syncing Properly

    I've been pulling my hair out over the last week or so with the new Photo's in the iCloud and how the online database won't sync properly.
    This is how I went about the upgrade.
    I have a Mac Mini which has been for the past several years drawing down my family's photo's and video etc from all out devices using iPhoto. This has worked very nicely. I've been adding pictures from my stream into albums etc with about 200 or so. All files are stored locally of course in organized folder which is then back up on to a external drive.
    After the latest update I opened the new Photo app and it started to convert my library over and started to upload all the photos, some 15000 pictures and a few hundred videos. I started to check my iPad and iPhone which is where I started to see problems, missing albums, missing photos, duplicates etc. Before anyone asks I emptied my trash in iPhoto before I updated as I had read about the new app pulling all the photos from trash in too.
    After several days of stopping and starting my iPhone and iPad looked like it should with my albums and the correct amount of files. I checked the online iCloud Photos through my browser which also match, but I had all the old iPhoto months and daily libraries still showing despite me organizing my libraries not to group the photos in these old style albums.
    At this point I also looked back on my Mac Mini to find that all the libraries had totally disappeared and there seemed to be a couple of thousand files missing, ie my ipad, iphone and online coun which is at something like 15,634 files and the Mac Mini Photo app was showing about 13,450. Plus, it was now saying uploading some 24,000 files but was in fact doing nothing.
    At this point I decided to turn my main iMac on and see if I could get the databases to pull down from the iCloud to see if it matched. Three days later it's stuck at some 3200 files and saying it's still adding 15,000 files. I then went back on to my Mac Mini and started a fresh version of Photo and it's now stuck in the same state as the iMac saying it's adding file but nothing is changing.
    Please help.

    How did you import the photos?
    Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
    You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

  • Why is the Watch ESPN app not working?

    All I get is that it is unavailable

    Yep, same here...ESPN app on the Apple TV quit today May 26 for me.  It just says 'not available, try again later'.  Have not found the answer anywhere on the web.  So I have to pull it up on the iPad ESPN app and send it to the Apple TV via Airplay.  This works great, full screen picture just as sharp.  So, uh, I guess I don't care if they fix it.  Except I can't use the iPad for anything else while I am watching the tennis games in Paris this week.  If I had to blame someone, I would select the blamee du jour.  Vlad.  Vlad is responsible for everything bad, everywhere.

  • Why is the CC desktop app not recognizing installs of applications?

    CC app is installed but does not recognize any oc the instalations of adobe products ( full suite installed)
    When running updates through the applications they are run through application manager not the CC Desktop app.

    Full Creative cloud suite. Instaled from a file not from the CC desktop app.
    There was still cs5.5 installed on the when CC was installed but thats now been uninstalled. I'm guessing adobe application manager should have gone with it but thats what opens when you run updates through photoshop etc. The Desktop app only shows lnks to download/try all the apps that are already installed.

  • Why is the google plus app not available in the pakistani app store?

    Ive been waiting for the Google+ app for a month and finally when it arrives its not availeble in the Pakistani app store. Why? the rest of the world is happily using it. When it will be available? is there a way to get it from the US app store? can someone gift the app to me.

    "Why? "
    You would have to ask Google.  Probably government restirctions.
    "When it will be available? "
    You would have to ask Google and/or your government.
    " is there a way to get it from the US app store?"
    You could physically move to the U.S. apply for and recieve a U.S credit card billed to your new U.S address, then you could use the U.S app store as long as you were inside the birders of the U.S.
    "can someone gift the app to me."
    No.

  • Why is the droid iprint app not available for my HTC Hero marketplace?

    I can see the iprint app from the driod market place website, however when I search the marketplace from my phone it is not found. I cannot download it from the android website as my device is not found (I have already contacted the android tech support to resolve this issue)
    I connet to the internet through my droid phone via easy teather, which the printer cannot seem to use through a wireless network connection.
    Why the hell, did hp not enable internet acces through a **bleep** usb cable??!!!

    Hey cowham!
    The iPrint app is no longer on the marketplace but is very soon to be replaced with a much better app. You can find more information about this here. As far as being able to access the internet through a usb connection, as I understand it the printer uses the usb connection's full bandwidth already so it would not be able to print/scan if we gave it the ability to transmit the internet connection.
    Hope this helps!
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Is the Nike  Running app not compatible with ios7?

    I downloaded the Nike+ Running app - but I can't get it to open?
    Anyone else having a similar issue?  Is the app not compatible with ios7?

    Go back to the itunes store and look at the user ratings/comments for that app.  If it's not compatible with IOS 7, there will be many postings from users that indicate that.

    You would think that the Apple Store app would be optimized for iPhone 5 4inch screen? Isn't this an APPLE PRODUCT.   Come on let's get an update!!

  • HT5100 How to get iTunes U files from iTunes to the iTunes U app, not music app

    I've downloaded a full iTunes U course on my iMac using iTunes. I have an iPad and iPhone bothe with the iTunes U app. All software is up to date. The course is viewable on my Mac and in the music app on my iOS devices but not the iTunes U app. How can they all sync?

    All you need to do is the following:
    1. Select iTunes U tab from your ipod in itunes
    2. Check the box next to "Sync iTunes U" at the top
    3. Make sure the box next to "Automatically include" is UNCHECKED
    4. Select any course; check every box in the right menu.
    5. Click "Apply" at the bottom right of screen.
    ***If you notice the percent of your videos may increase (at the bottom of the screen that shows the percentage of your music and videos, etc.), don't worry because after it is done syncing it will fix itself.
    6. Look at your ipod menu on the left toolbar...iTunes U should show up. At this point you can sync all courses and they will appear in this menu.
    7. NOW you can delete them.
    For some reason it doesn't work to sync automatically, so if you have a lot of courses, then it ***** for a bit, but at least you don't need to erase your entire ipod.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    To copy the configuration of one iPhone to another, first connect the older phone and create a backup of the phone. Then connect the new phone and restore it using the backup of the older phone.

  • Why is the original YouTube app not in update 6.1.3?

    I recently updated and there is no YouTube, can someone please tell me why this is or how to get it back? Much appreciated.

    The YouTube app is not included with iOS 6. Google offers their own app for free via the iTunes Store, now in an iPad version. There are also third-party alternatives, one of which may suit you better. Jasmine is one that a number of people are recommending. You can also use the mobile version of the YouTube site
    http://m.youtube.com
    which you can save to your home screens as an icon.

  • Why is the att drivemode app not welcome on the iPhone

    The ATT DriveMode application is a useful safety tool. Is there an objection from Apple on using this applicaiton.

    According to the AT&T forums, it has never (or at least not yet) been produced for iPhone.
    Personally, I think its a bit of an idiotic app as it is.  If you are behind the wheel and your car is in motion (be it 1mph or 50), you should not be handling your phone, period.
