hi. could someone give me the Sony mail app too? I would like to look into it too.

I bet Sony is using some modified e-mail application on their phones. Or why else should there be any incompatibility?

i would be thankful if anyone could try the modified whatsapp notifier if it shows more then the first notification:

http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier20.apk

It might be necessary to remove the old version first.

Thanks.

The Sony email-apk is working, I tried different versions.

But the liveware manager does not find a compatible mail program.

Happens to me too (Galaxy note with GB)

Thank you very much for your great work.
[Sony Smartwatch] mety333:
any chance you can make a simple alarm clock app?

in the original liveview it came with the watch so how come no one or even sony made an alarm clock app yet?!?!!

it worked simply, you set the alam normally on the phone and the watch vibrates at that time and has a snooz button or off button.

EASY AS THAT!

please make one thanks i love you for that google maps app !! [=

The whatsapp notifier doesnt work on my HTC One x (ICS)

When I start the app on my smart watch it says "no events" and then it freezes the smart watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Hi. that is odd. there is nothing special happening on opening the event-list on the smartwatch.

Do you have the Accessibility Service enablend in your Android System Settings and enabled it inside of the Whatsapp notification settings? (there is a "Active" checkbox. The first one is only to show the icon on the smartwatch and is provided from the LiveWare Manager)

I also digged into the Sony E-Mail notification app.

When i am correct they have extended the Content Provider from the System E-Mail Application. the "isDeviceSupported()" Method does not just check for the Mobile-Phone ID or something like that which would be easy to change for other Phones.

It does check for the Content Provider from the E-Mail Application where it can get the E-Mail accounts and other data.

So without a modified E-Mail.apk for your Android version and no Root access i suppose it is not possible.

Thanks to Tippfehler and koba for providing the links.
[Sony Smartwatch] morg01:
Sounds like the next thing for us to try is maybe installing the sony email apk . . or will that screw things up for accounts and sync . . actually I bet there is a link in with the OS like sammys / htc applications not working on non TW / sense platforms
[Sony Smartwatch] sisqoboy:
It sounds like something is close the connections when you lock the phone.

Check the settings or any firewall or antivirus app or battery saver app.
[Sony Smartwatch] cruzzmz:
beo

is there anyway to get the msg body to the whatsapp app in the smartwatch yet?

anyway ur work is superb

one more thing i realize Call log Smart Extras™ doesnt work with ICS :(

Great work beowulf.

Just want to give you my test results as a mail app is much needed for non Sony mobile users.

Regarding the IMAP settings I have been testing this on my own exchange server.

All tests are done via the local LAN on WIFI to narrow down any problems.

I tested conneting to the local IP of my Exchange server with IMAP protocol on TCP port 143 which works great.

This however is not ideal since I would rather use the secure method.

When changing it over to the IMAPS protocol on port 993 this however fails by the app hanging and has to be closed.

To ensure it wasnt my exchange set up that was faulty, tried out an android app called "Mail Alert" which uses IMAP on port 993 and that worked fine on my local LAN

If this worked it would be great or even if an Active Sync option was added as you suggested in one of your other posts.

GPS app with google maps works great by the way. Very nice app

Whatsapp notifer I had the same issue as another person reported where the message body said:

Message from xxx, null,null

Opening the whatapp application worked great from the notification

Any messages after the first notification however didnt register however

Re-enabled CustomNotifier for now which seems to do the job.

Happy to do more test if you need me to

Cheers

Hi everyone.

Sorry. was a bit busy the last days.

I worked a bit on some smartwatch apps.

the Mail notification app:

smartwatchmailnotifier11.apk

should no longer crash on the phone even when wrong settings are entered. i also changed a bit more and added some more settings in the settings-screen that are accessible from the javamail library.

there might still be a not responding message when the app fetches messages. So please press "wait" when this pops up. It should be faster after the first fetch though.

If you have problems i would like if you can provide some server-details. especially if you use some free mail hosting out there and wich settings you used in the app.

I also changed the Whatsapp Notification app.

I am not sure if the new version prints out the full message. But i changed it so it should print out every possible text type from the view. So there might be some odd number or something like that.

SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk

I also made a wrong answer. It seems the smartwatch does support more then the 3x3 touchpoints. i must have misunderstood the documentation of it somewhere.

I come to the conclusion because there is a new calculator app in the market that must need more than 3x3 touchpoints because of the many buttons.

Or are there different versions of the smartwatch?

//Edit:

Ok. made another small App for the Smartwatch because the default Calendar app does not show any event at all for me.

The app shows the Events from your Calendar on your smartwatch and you can swipe with your finger to the left to see the next event and swipe to the right to see the previous event.

It will most likely only work on Android 4.0 and higher devices. So sorry for everyone else.

SmartwatchCalendar.apk
[Sony Smartwatch] cruzzmz:
wow

a busy weekend for u

hopefully i can test all app u did and report back

My office is using an exchange 2007 server, ill try my luck with ur email app.

Whatsapp i can test right away :)

Calender also I will test

Im using GS2 on ICS 4.0.3

Thanks a lot for ur gr8 work
[Sony Smartwatch] japostolakis:
Thats Brilliant!

Thanks for that Beowulf6

Mail app works now...must of been the SSL option that finally made it work I am guessing!

In the email there is an "Action Toast" button...what is that supposed to do?

Calendar app works smoothly. The default one works nice but only shows active events and cant browse future ones which is a pain so this looks like a good future replacement if you are looking at setting up notification options and making it a widget also. Not sure how far you plan to develop it.

Still having issues with Whatsapp. Installed the new one and the app does not pick up any new messages.

Rebooted watch and phone

Ensured enabled the option in accessibility and cleared events before starting the test.

Using 4.0.3 on Galaxy S2. Anyone else got it working? If so what are you running?

If the watch does support more than 3X3, might be cool to see if a phone dialer can be built. **** Tracey eat your heart out! :)
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Thanks for your testing and that it finaly works.

But just for my information if you don't mind:

The old version was using SSL as soon as you selected the imaps protocol.

So now you use imap (without the s) and the "use SSL" option?

Do you use the official whatsapp application?

This: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp

Or some other?

Have you enabled the notifications in the whatsapp application?

Maybe i will cancel this notifier. It is just not enough and useful documentation.
[Sony Smartwatch] japostolakis:
Hi

I am using the official one you have in your link. Notifications are on and works fine with the "customnotifier" app. I even disabled cusomnotifier incase it was conflicting. Maybe it is just something funny on my phone, if its working for others dont abandon your hard work.

Regarding the mail app, on your previous version it wasnt working on both imaps and imap on port 993, worked fine on imap on port 143 however.

With the new app, failed on imaps with SSL on port 993 but worked fine on imap with SSL on 993.

Hope that helps, haven't played around with IMAP much in the past and looking online most people are using the basic settings for IMAP in exchange that I have set up.

If you need any testing with Exchange, I can set up a test account on my server if you like but would prefer to send the details via a private message if that is possible. Just ask if you need it.
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Hello.

I have read that events that get catched from one accessibility service can not be catched from another. Not sure if this is true. I think i need to ask some android programming expert for this.

It is odd that you do not get any notification at all.

So your problem was that it does not work with imaps and/or SSL.

This is odd too. I thought imaps is always the secure protocol which uses SSL

And imap the insecure connection. And google mail worked for me with imaps.

Maybe the javamail library is odd so i will not wonder so much and like that it works.

Thanks but i think i dont need a test account.
[Sony Smartwatch] Tippfehler:
Tanks for the new mail app.

What can I do, if I see only:

>>Error

could not fetch messages<<

?

I have tried

pop, pops, port 110, 995

SSL on, off

Starttls on, off

Server: pop3.strato.de

(ICS 4.0.3 HTC Sensation)

I have installed K9 together with E-mail Notifier from mapeapps, which is working very good. Is it possible, to see the notifications like this app on the smartwatch?
[Sony Smartwatch] Delacor:
Does The Mail App Work With Googlemail.apk?

Send from my SII ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Hi. Please try following settings:

Server: imap.strato.de

Port: 993

Protocol: imap or imaps

And enable SSL.

It is possible that the javamail library for android does not support the pop3 protocol.
[Sony Smartwatch] cruzzmz:
Hi beowulf6

to report back on the apps

1. Calender notifier

- work gr8 ... just mine it only shows my gmail calender ... but it is still cool

2. Whatsapp notifier

- working and catching all the msg now :), just that when it got more that 1 msg it will only show 2 msg in notification. Also if u use option "open it on phone" then after that the notification wont work and u have to disable & enable it back

For me it is working fine on a GS2 ICS 4.0.3 :) ... just that if u can just fix the 2nd msg than it will be just gr8 ... i think u just can scrap the open in phone option if that is the one that causing it not to notify the watch.

3. Email notifier

- havent try it yet since i dunno my office exchnage enable the imap or not

thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] Tippfehler:
With imaps it was working one time.

Nothing changed.

But then I have the

>>Error

could not fetch messages<<

again.

and

>>Error:

Faild to Connect to Server<<

Tried imaps port 993, imap port 143, SSL, TLS, ...

Phone rebooted.

I have tried it with googlemail with the same result.

Calender app is working nearly perfect. Maybe the text is to short.

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch] japostolakis:
Yeah not sure there either

All I know if that Exchange will use the 993 traffic as secured and thats the only port I allow through my firewall from the internet, 143 is blocked.

Also my imap settings specify to use my SSL cert so Im happy :)

Good work mate
[Sony Smartwatch] japostolakis:
That's what was wrong with mine in the end!

Re-enabled and worked fine. Used the open option which cashed it once more.

Good find!
[Sony Smartwatch] sisqoboy:
Yes, u can set every program with the customnotifier.

Thats a very useful app.

Thanks again for the developer... :)
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Hi everyone.

@Tippfehler:

Not sure why it should work once and then stop working.

Maybe just a temporary server issue?

Have you tried it with another mail app with the same server settings?

You can try it with the insecure imap port 143.

without SSL. Maybe there is some certificate problem?

@cruzzmz: what do you mean with "when it got more that 1 msg it will only show 2 msg in notification." ? Does it catch all messages or not? And does it catch the complete message?

@sisqoboy: Thanks but i am not the developer of the customnotifier app. :)

It can be a bit annoying with some messengers like Skype when it does catch the "online" notification every 5 seconds.

But i would like how they fetch the notifications. there is so little documentation for notifications out there...

I will see if i can get up some apps to the google market when they seem to work.

Will try order a credit card today. They are quite expensive here...

The Calendar App should catch every event that you can see in the official google calendar application on android so even exchange synchronised calendars like i use.

Other Calendar applications do not work.

Maybe we should do the bug reporting somewhere else because they have not really anything to do with the smartwatch impressions i think. ;)

But still thanks for all the kind reports. That makes it that i like do develop for it even when i am new to this. but i am learning a lot.
[Sony Smartwatch] cruzzmz:
Hi

again great work ... kudos to u

I think u should open a thread in the android software dev section and put the title smartwatch app dev there ... and lead us the way to the thread

as for the whatsapp, if i got 2/3 messages at one time, it will just show 2/3 messages at the notification on the watch. Not like before this version that u could scroll between messages. Yes it does show all the messages. Hope this will help u ...

calendar app, I could only access my gmail calendar dunno why i cant access my exchange one or maybe because I am using another mail client not the default samsung one

Spotify

I was considering buying this watch but would like to know am i able to control my spotify app from the watch. Thank you for your help.
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
it should support the spotify app.

Can you control spotify with a connected bluetooth headset?

I think it just needs to be controllable with a bluetooth device and should be set as the default player app so the default smartwatch player control can control the default app.

Have not tried it though.

Hey, I just recieved my smartwatch. It says you can activate the display by shaking it, but this only works when i shake it like crazy.

Has anyone got suggestions on a specific movement?
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
i have problems to activate it with shaking too.

But i think rotating it 3 or more times works best.

But when i did this once it seems to take some time to reset so i need to wait some time until shaking works again.

But still i am more successful with tapping on the screen or pressing the button. :)

Hi purepwnage2

Your link didnt worked for me, but i think it is this?

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=psDGKb67oiw

That in the video is a full blown android device and is not possible on the sony smartwatch.

You can think about the smartwatch as an extended screen and input device for your android phone. So you can not run any normal game or app on it unless it is specially made for the watch.

If you just want a rather inexpensive watch that extends your phone you go with the sony smartwatch.

If you want an expensive full blown android device as a watch, you go with the motorola watch or the wimm one.
[Sony Smartwatch] DerTzwenn:
Hey, I´m new and I have got a problem with the Whatsapp-Notifer.

The version 20 runs without problems- there ist no Text, it only shows the sender, but I think thats normal.

The version 21 shows the sender and text, but it just works sometimes.

Sometimes I get notices on my smartwatch, but only a few ones, most of the notices were not relayed.

Is there someone else with the same prob? I do not understand, why version 20 runs, 21 just now and then...
[Sony Smartwatch] purepwnage2:
Okay thanks beowolf :) but I don't think the motoactv is a full blown android device, it was made to be a fitness tracker/watch that can also, if connected to a phone receive calls and messages

[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
hi. the smartwatch should be compatible with most android devices.

I already read about someone where it works with the HTC One x so it should work with it and most other devices.
[Sony Smartwatch] matej1990:
Yup! It works flawless! In fact... it works better than with HTC Sensation!

If I was using/operating my smartwatch with HTC Sensation it almost always disconnected if I was doing the gestures little bit faster than normal. And HTC Sensation is on the official Sony compatibility list...

Using HTC One X is much better. Now I can quickly do gestures and watch never disconnects also loading icons and widgets is much much faster.

The watch sync perfect with my LG Optimus V from virgingmobile, i like the battery life and the apps however, sometimes it D/C from the bluetooh and wont auto-connect so sometimes you have to turn it on and do the whole process again.

ok i can live with that, but the thing that bother me most is that we can adjust SLEEP TIME, it takes like 10 seconds and bam....i would like an app or that let you choose to auto sleep or not....all in all is do his thing...nigh and day better than the first one.
[Sony Smartwatch] PVTD:
Ripped off, once again!

Just a little heads up.

Mine stopped working yesterday. It stopped reacting till I placed it back in it's charger.

So, what I now get is a fully charged SmartWatch MN2, who only works when you place it in it's charging cable.

Once every (around) 30 seconds it reboots on it self, then searches for your phone.

Your phone says it's still connected, so the SmartWatch keeps searching till you reset your phone's Bluetooth device list.

Once reconnected, you need to be lucky to be able to use it at least 15 more seconds before it reboots and searches infinitely again.
[Sony Smartwatch] beowulf6:
Sorry to hear that your smartwatch stopped working.

When your Smartwatch keeps restarting,

have you tried to completeley remove all smartwatch apps to see if there is one app that might give problems?

Maybe also remove the LiveView manager and Smartwatch plugin to really clear all saved data?

Just an idea that it could be something different.
[Sony Smartwatch] PVTD:
I can't imagine that would help the device.

I will try connect it to another device with ICS, but it seems to be a hardware problem.

Will report back with more info.
