Hallo.

i have smartwatch and not connect to Lenovo A660, Smart Connect is odd

any someone can help my problem?

thx
[Sony Smartwatch] bharatshaan:
I tried that bro but it's not working :(
[Sony Smartwatch] betizad:
You could try resetting the watch by turning it off and holding for 15-20 seconds. Then remove it from the phone as a Bluetooth device, add again and connect.
[Sony Smartwatch] jschall:
Interference with wireless mouse

I don't know if any other users of the SONY Smartwatch have run into this problem.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse/Keyboard 2000 (Model 1416), and when I place my watch hand on the mouse, it disconnects!

The mouse uses the 2.4 GHz band, but it's a proprietary Microsoft protocol, not Bluetooth or WiFi.

If I remove my watch and place it about 1 m away from the mouse, it re-connects.

Anybody else noticed this?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
If your watch and paired device keep DCing, it's because your android device is going into what's called a deep bluetooth sleep. Basically, the watch does not us an "active" BT connection like say a headset or a speaker. This is why the BT icon is not lit up as if a connected device is there. If you check around, there's an app that keeps the BT stack alive.

Also-some jellybean roms have a weird BT stack that causes problems but USUALLY it means the 2 don't pair at all.

Uhhhh.. WOW. this one is an odd one. Likely it is in fact due to some communication problems being on the mouse but are you using one of the clock faces that pops up based on your hand angle or are you using a more normal, tap to display clock face?

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Has it ever worked on that phone? What android version is on the phone?
[Sony Smartwatch] jschall:
Intrference from wireless mouse.

I use a stock watchface that requires a double-tap to wake up. I surmise that the bandpass filtering on the very sensitive Bluetooth radio on the watch is simply overwhelmed by the out-of-band 2.4 GHz RF power from the transmitter on the mouse.
[Sony Smartwatch] bharatshaan:
Tried that too

Try free app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl

with partial wakelock.

Or paid app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.floodping.BluetoothKeepalive

to automatically get wakelock when you connect to smartwatch.
[Sony Smartwatch] bharatshaan:
I tried bt keepalive but still the problem persists. I m not that into android I don't know what to do. And in between I m using Xperia S with stock .211 jelly bean.
[Sony Smartwatch] Aizen79:
hi guys...if you are having connection issues with the smartwatch,try the following(sorted my issues)..download the sony update service software...follow the steps ie choose the right gadget...and reinstall the smartwatch firmware.The tricky part is getting to the DFU state but am sure you will get it right. After reinstalling the firmware, uninstall and reinstall all smartwatch apps on the phone. Then pair.....tell me how it works out:good:
[Sony Smartwatch] shawa2:
Deezer controls?

Hi - apologies if this has already been asked but the search function doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment!

Is there a way to control Deezer via our Sony Smartwatch? The stock music controls just opens Play Music by default and won't control Deezer... Thanks in advance!
[Sony Smartwatch] w04g005:
Thanks for this tips. Some things i didn't understand. the "sony update service software" you mentioned is the app "Smartwatch" isn't it? what do you mean by DFU state?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
The sony update software is the piece you load on your PC that talks to the smartwatch when you hook it up via that white USB cable.
[Sony Smartwatch] Aizen79:
DFU(Device Firmware Upgrade) is a state where a device is able to receive software...,etc from a computer. Sony update service software is a software that enables you to move software from the computer to the Sony device(already in DFU state).There are steps to follow on the software itself to enable you to enter the DFU state.
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Hi All,

Am interested to get Smart Watch MN2. Would like to know whether

1. The Watch Shows the Time independently when disconnected from Mobile?

2. Average Battery Standby of the watch?

Cyb0rgz
[Sony Smartwatch] raiu:
Don't get it, it's a piece of junk, i have been through 5 of them and Sony support sucks. Wait another month Sammy will have theirs i'm sure. :good:
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Even i too dont like Sony's but other SW like pebble, wimm, imwatch are very expensive. Yes, sammy's would be nice. but i am looking to get it urgently, thats why.

Also, i wanna know whether it can be used as a Watch without being connected to Mobile?
[Sony Smartwatch] raiu:
Yes and no, you have to connect it first for it to get the time, after that it can disconnect and keep time for a little while. If you turn the watch off it will then have to be reconnected to get the correct time again. It is not a stand alone watch.

When it works right, i get about 50hrs a week worth of juice with regular use about 2 emails an hour and 12 texts notifications a day. I have it on at work and turn it off when i get home and on during the weekends sometimes. Very minimal use.

Why pay for something your gonna have to pay to ship back to the manufacture every other month? Just wait, save your money. I'm telling you this thing is crap and i wouldn't even buy the new one they have coming out. Sony has lost me as a customer period.
[Sony Smartwatch] Aizen79:
it shows time for a while approximately 10 minutes without phone connection then switches off....average standby is two days with occasional calls and texts
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
ummmm wrong . My watch has been disconnected from my phone for hours , and still it shows me the time !
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
Whats the smart watch app ver you are using ?, cause the last time the smart watch app was updated was on 30th may 2013!
[Sony Smartwatch] alex6600:
I've checked update right now- but no updates for smartwatch...
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
I'm Sorry bro , but you are way outdated!:eek::rolleyes:
[Sony Smartwatch] Aizen79:
well ok thats weird...mine,when theres no connection,it vibrates once then vibrates twice 10 mins later and switches off....before it switches off it writes "no connected phone":confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Thanks. It means, the time is displayed eventhough mobile is not connected. One more, i just read few pages back that new software brings battery icon during charging? Can you please confirm.?
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
Hey! you need to connect the watch to the phone atleast once to sync up the time , after that it does not matter if the phone is connected or now .ONLY THE TIME WILL ALWAYS BE THEN though you will not be able to use other function.Once the watch is disconnected from the phone there will be a red symbol on the top left corner. Also While you are charging the watch does show the charging icon, I have attached the pictures for your reference. Do hit the thanks button if ive helped you!
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
I can assure you 200 % that it does not happen with me. The watch stays on for a lot of time even after it has been disconnected from the phone.
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Very helpful. Cleared all my doubts!! Thanks a bunch man!!!!
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
I did a video on my YT channel about this watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACTwFUIZlsU

Take a look and see if any of the things I cover help you make a decision.
[Sony Smartwatch] yanureds:
no, it has never been.

am running on ICS 4.0.4 :crying:

please help
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
I do know some people had issues with the bluetooth stack in some jellybean roms. I can't say I've heard of an ICS problem with this watch. What you should do is try to reset the watch by holding the button for 30 seconds. Plug it into your PC and run the sony software on your PC to update it (if it needs to be). Once it is done updating, unhook it from the USB. Turn BT on on the phone. Turn the watch on. Have your phone search for BT devices and see what happens.
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Guys, one more quick help needed.

Does this watch displays the time always when it is disconnected from mobile? Cos, i wanna use this as a watch so i did a research and found that this watch

will go to sleep mode when not active and every time user need to tap the watch to wake it up.

Is there any way to keep the displays always on even when i have been disconnected from the mobile?
[Sony Smartwatch] Stu|:
Yes, select an always on watch face.
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
As Stu said, you can change the face to have an always on one. Few things you should know. There are a few that will detect motion to turn on. This might be the best as a full on face can cause some battery drain. Also, Sony is not allowing a face change so, sadly, you will never find another face for the watch other than the ones Sony gives. Try to play around with the ones that will turn on via orientations before going to a full on clock. I haven't tried a full on so I'm not sure how bad the drain is.
[Sony Smartwatch] LycaonX:
Anyone found a way to mess with the brightness?
[Sony Smartwatch] Cyb0rgz:
Thanks for the detailed reply. i placed the order here in india for 4500 INR [73 USD]. its a very cheap for a brand new device!!
[Sony Smartwatch] Stu|:
The new version is either out or coming out soon so that is probably why it's so cheap now.
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:

[Sony Smartwatch] zippy01:
Does it replace the standard watch?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
No. As posted above, nothing can
[Sony Smartwatch] Cordobes21:
Is there a chance of get it working on a windows phone mobile or blackberry 10 os?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
You'd have to ask Sony. Right now, the watch is communicating to an APK which is Android based. Now, a blackberry MIGHT work if you get the liveware files and such signed and converted into a bar. On my playbook, you can use the BBerry built in android emulator to emulate some android files. It might be possible to get the watch related apk files signed, changed to a bar and then install them. There are sites that will convert the apks for you and there are ways you can do it yourself. I think a good launch point would be crackberry.

As for windows, dunno.
[Sony Smartwatch] deciocavallo:
there's an app that how you all whatsapp message? Now with watchit it show "2 message to read", but i want to show all whatsapp messages
[Sony Smartwatch] adsada arc:
Wouldn't recommend that, its pointless except for looking good to show your friends etc. the battery is killed by it so it serves no practical purpose, plus with the latest sony update they have quite a nice selection of clock faces now...

question, what are the odds that sony will update the smartwatch to look like the smartwatch 2? it's unlikely I guess, but is it true the smartwatch has now been made open to developers?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
Augmented might be good for you. I don't use whatsapp but I'm fairly sure Augmented has some provisions for it.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

true but I was only answering the question asked. I make no claims to its effectiveness hehe.
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
agreed. this watch could be dynamite if the developers can get their hands on it.
[Sony Smartwatch] ukro:
thx

How long do you guys charge your Smartwatch for ? not when charging the 1st time but after you've used it a couple of times.
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
Mine can last for 2 days on a charge, and I'll say it only takes 4hrs to charge the watch. The battery on this watch is not big that's why it doesn't take too long to recharge it.
[Sony Smartwatch] sufy1000:
Does it tell you when it's fully charged ?
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
Yes it does, the screen shows a full battery
[Sony Smartwatch] sufy1000:
Mine only takes an hour to charge. Are you sure your Smartwatch takes 4hrs to charge ? how come that long ?
[Sony Smartwatch] parsapar:
Recently purchased this watch from a sony store that was closing down, 40% off. Got it for like 90 bucks. Picked up 3 additional bands for 10 bucks each as well.

I really like being able to look at my texts and emails without needing to pull my phone out of my pocket. Battery life seems to be very well for me, and haven't noticed many bugs except for the initial set up, but luckily it ended up working fine.

My main issue is with the twitter app. One of the main reasons I purchased the phone so that I could check it. I go to the authorization page to log in, and thats when the problem occurs, I am sent to a black screen with a circular loading box. It will never pass this screen and I cannot get my twitter account set up.

Unfortunately this is the only twitter app that lets you see your twitter timeline, and I would appreciate any suggestions that you guys might have.

Thanks.

Anyone experiencing any problems using it on an HTC Sensation?

I'm about to order one, but SONY's reply to loueber on compatibility with the Sensation worries me :/
[Sony Smartwatch] emretwolf:

[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
New update released today. Updated OP. No major changes as far as i can tell though.

If anyone has discovered any amazing apps then please post them so i can add them to the OP :)
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
You forgot the gmail app from Sony
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
I would like to confirm something that most people will but I have experience ite first hand.

Originally I used the watch with my epic 4g or galaxy S and the watch it was somehow fast but it usually lagged while showing all the apps installed and widgets, it was not terrible slow but I thought the watch was like that, I thought it might need more updates to make it faster, it also disconnect from time to time which I was blaming the Bluetooth.

But I just my new upgrade, the galaxy S3, and let mine tell you what a difference, this is the US version so it has 2gb of ram but wow. After all apps install and everything back in order I used 1.1gb with tw and the watch but now the watch is super fast, widgets and apps will show up in very few seconds and so far many phone haven't disconnect.

I can't say for sure but for this watch to work nicely and fast, ram is very needed.
[Sony Smartwatch] parsapar:
Ughhhh even with the new update, twitter doesn't want to work. Am I the only one who has this issue? The new update has made the watch a lot faster though.
[Sony Smartwatch] Philsan:
I have a Galaxy Nexus and Smartwatch works perfectly.

No disconnections, fast reconnections, long battery life.

Previously (having an iPhone 4S) I used it with an HTC Wildfire (device on Smartwatch compatibility list) and Smartwatch was useless (disconnections, no reconnections...).
[Sony Smartwatch] Cr99:
Does it work with samsung galaxy s3 ....??
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
I have the gs3
[Sony Smartwatch] sufy1000:
When you guys charge your smartwatch do you turn charge it when it's on or off ?
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
You can still use the watch but you can't move the watch too much because the pins might move and stop charging the phone.

But really won't matter if is on or off, you can't have it on your wrist anyway.
[Sony Smartwatch] Philsan:
As written I think Smartwatch is perfect.

I only would like that you could turn BT off so you can keep smartwatch when you go to bed.

Bluetooth dropping in and out

I have purchased the smartwatch and connected to my Google Nexus 4, updated the watch firmware as per first install... All is working and is pretty good, however, every 30 seconds or so my Bluetooth disconnects and then reconnects. Is this a watch fault or phone fault? I wouldn't mind ordinarily buy the three pattern vibrate every 30 seconds is very annoying and battery draining on both devices!

Really hoping someone has an answer!
[Sony Smartwatch] Stu|:
Used to happen to me when I was using bluetooth to stream to my headset at the same time. But never persistently otherwise.
[Sony Smartwatch] pho2u:
Thanks for your response, it's such a shame, because I actually like all of the functionality of the watch - it looks great, and fits in with my business (wedding photography) so means I don't look so rude pulling my phone out of my pocket to check an email or call! Just such a shame, think I may have to send it back :(
[Sony Smartwatch] Yaskin Forrit:
no applications installing

I have just got me Smartwatch MN2

The first thing it did was update the firmware to 0.1.B.1.3

There is nothing shown in the 'show applications' or 'show widgets' even if I install stuff from play.

I have no idea how to resolve this - I have uninstalled everything and re-booted everything

please help

I sent the watch back and risked getting a replacement, now I have NO issues - other that the Facebook logging out issue which I have found on various forums... still haven't been able to find a solution yet? Using WatchIt which notifies me of faebook notifications but can't view news feed (is there another app?)

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] wixi:
Have you installed SmartConnect by Sony, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware

Also try rebooting your phone. If it does not work try to remove Smartwatch and Smartconnect then install it again but start with Smartconnect.

Hi,

I have not using my smartwatch for long time. When I try to use it again yesterday, the battery is already run out.

I try to charge, however it already more than 8 hour but still the indicator is not full, is there something wrong with my smartwatch?

is there any way, I can recalibrate the battery?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] antmanPL:
you have to wire pins in your watch (first and last), maybe even use button while wiring - i don't really remember, but it helped me like two months ago.

How to get Exchange email notifications in Smart Watch. I have Watch It apps, but does not show exchange email notifications, helps please

Thanks,

Uday
[Sony Smartwatch] Kolma:
Anyone know if it's possible to have notifications pop up above the Custom Watch.:confused:

Don't want to give up the reason I got the watch in the first place (reading notifications hands free) just to have custom watchfaces:(
[Sony Smartwatch] joshoon:
WatchIt! is a good app for that :)
[Sony Smartwatch] arduino566:
Don't receive any other application Notifications

Since Sony has launched SW2, all it's applications have been updated, and then, the problem began.

After this, all widgets and programs of MN2 doesn't notify any more (don't show notification icon near the scroll bar neither vibrates/show notification).

My smartwatch firmware is 0.1.B.1.3 and the host application version is 1.3.32. I guess is a program problem, not a firmware

If you look at the widgets and and applications itself, the newest events are there.

Anybody is with this problem too?
[Sony Smartwatch] raiu:
So glad I sold this piece of junk. Galaxy gear for the win
[Sony Smartwatch] hurdlejade:
you're in the wrong forum to bash SW2. go, go and get the gear beta, with no functional software yet.
[Sony Smartwatch] lanusb:
i notice i need to keep pressing the on button to "unlock" the screen on the watch, will this wear down the button?
[Sony Smartwatch] hurdlejade:
of course. maybe after about 100000 clicks, maybe 200000.. or maybe after next 100. it does wear out, but it's not that fragile, come on.

CHARGING From Wall Charger ?

Hello,

it is possible to charge it from an usb wall charger? I tried a samsung one and when i woke up in the morning the watch was fully discharged? :( Also it seems it doesn't have any overcharge protection even from PC charging, if you try to charge it when the battery is full it actually starts to discharge :( So you can only charge it from PC?
[Sony Smartwatch] Geoffxx:
ah right I knew there was a catch with this thing - if I buy a Sony SW I need to buy a PC as well - right ? lol
[Sony Smartwatch] Kroutnuk:
I always charged my SW1 with a HTC wall charger and it was good (5V 1A)
[Sony Smartwatch] aka_sirok:
the same here, im using my note 2 usb charger and no problems.

I dont know if it really has that problem after it is fully charged, I charge it every morning between when I wake up and when I go to university which is about 30 minutes and it charges enough to survive for 12h and more usually...
[Sony Smartwatch] evilastharoth:
Hi to all,

I'm having a strange problem with my smartwatch: the smartwatch app doesn't see the smart apps installed...The bluetooth paring works fine and I can change the clock type in real time, but if I install an app from the play store it's not listed as installed. So no apps just a dumb watch. Any ideas?

Thanks.

have you installed smart connect?
[Sony Smartwatch] funeralmoon:
Do You notice some sort of la when opening apps? Navigation between screens is ok but using downloaded apps is a pain. I just can't wait looking The screen wainting for the app to load or to register my input.
