Yes, I have installed the Smart Connect and the Smartwatch app. At first, more or less for a week, all worked perfectly, notifications, calls, alarms, etc.. Then suddenly the Smart Connect app doesn't see the watch apps installed on the phone. From Smart Connect I click on "SmartWatch", then "Applications" and every app is seen as not installed, ergo there is the message "Download and Install" as the first time. If I click on an app it goes to the play store, I install the app , go back to the SmartWatch app and it's still listed as "Download and Install"...
[Sony Smartwatch] aka_sirok:
You should consider wiping both the phone and the watch just in case(remember to backup) it seems like a problem of the phone but first try to reset only the watch and reinstall firmware again.

hope it helped somehow

compatibility?

Will this work on sprint htc one?just wondrin

Hello there I would like to ask does anybody knows how long does it takes to fully charge sony smartwatch 1 or smartwatch 2?:confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] aka_sirok:
I don't know about the sony smartwatch2 but the one is quite fast, less than 2 hours! moreover with an non intensive usage(I mean screen off but receiving a lot of whatsapps changing music and so) I charge it for about half an hour every morning and it last from 8.30 morning to 10 night and still have battery so I used to charge it just in the morning and its enough.

well coming back strictly to the question, in theory it is 2 hours (always talking about wall charging ofc) but it needs less time than that.

hope I clarified it somehow, beats
[Sony Smartwatch] jonstatt:
I'm really rather happy with the Smartwatch 2 now following recent updates. I know there is a multitude of compatibility issues with various phones which is probably why Samsung just locked their watch to their own phones.

I use an HTC One and was upset with the missing functionality of the Smartwatch 2 and the gmail, camera and facebook apps kept crashing either on the phone or on the watch. Now, for me, all of them are working properly and most of the missing functionality such as auto-brightness, ,missing watch faces, stopwatch, pictures in facebook updates are there.

I think the only thing still missing is the media player widget?

Speaking of music control. I have a problem that I don't know how to fight. Interestingly this was not happening on my S3 phone but since I upgraded to S4 it suddenly became an issue. I don't know if it is phone related or just 4.3 Android. Basically every time the watch sync over bluetooth it start to play music on the phone. This is clearly work of music control app on the watch. Anyone have this issue and can provide any suggestions? This is the first version of smart watch. Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch] aka_sirok:
same issue here, seems like it is android 4.3 issue coz it doesn't happened to me in 4.1.2
[Sony Smartwatch] akpe:
It also happens on 4.1.1, it's has to do with the new music player app and not the OS itself, just uninstall it and wait for a fix. Disabling the app won't work.
[Sony Smartwatch] biker750:
I have the same issue on HTC One S with Android 4.0.3 It has started with the update of msic player app.
[Sony Smartwatch] Dkeys:
Hi guys, I also face same issue on my S4 after apps update. It won't connect even bluetooth already paired. So I think its definitely because of the latest apps update. Luckily I found the old .apks which I stored in my PC. Then I make clean installation using the old apks and...walllaaaa...its working again

Hi

i am planning to buy this watch but i want to whether it is compatible with samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500 Android 4.3 with all the features.

Pls help me out
[Sony Smartwatch] gambit3rd:
Hello,

I updated my Note 2 to official 4.3 (MK9) and my Smartwatch MN2 stopped working. I can pair it but then I can't access it: the watch just shows me a three balls icon trying to connect. I did a factory reset too, watch is updated, but nothing. I can only pair it.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
[Sony Smartwatch] aka_sirok:
its an issue of smart connect app. we have to wait til they release a new update
[Sony Smartwatch] gambit3rd:
I'm not so sure that Sony will fix it: since Smartwatch 2 is out, the old one is a walking dead. I haven't seen much support. Anyway, I wrote a mail to Sony Support but I think they will tell me it's not compatible with Note 2. Let's hope to find a trick too...
[Sony Smartwatch] kks_007:
Please let me if this is working with samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500 Android 4.3 because i don't want to simply buy and waste money :)
[Sony Smartwatch] mupper:
Got yesterday my SW2 from Christmas and im totaly happy! Great watch, with a lot of functions.

But i have some Questions:

1. I will paire my SW2 with NFC. But always when i try this, my Galaxy S4 opens Bluetooth. I disable Bluetooth and i will paire only with NFC, but i can only paire with Bluetooth. I put my watch to the back of my S4, my S4 vibrates, but nothing happens.

2. How can i do a Firmware Update. In my watch i didn´t find a firmware update Button. And when i open the Smart Connect i didnt find a Button with Firmware Update.

thx a lot

Roman
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
To answer your first question. You can use NFC to basically let the two devices know each other (phone and the watch). Once that is done, the connection between the watch and the phone is via Bluetooth. That is all the NFC does.

You can not update the firmware from the watch. You can do it with the phone. Open up smart connect, pick smart watch. Via menu, hit about and tap update accessory. If there is a new firmware, your watch will be updated.
[Sony Smartwatch] JR.Moraes:
Hello all :) Today i've received my SonySmartwatch (1'st generation, not the 2nd one). For now, everything is great but, there is maaaybe a little problem. I've looking over some videos on youtube and in all of them, when receiving a call, on the display of the smartwatch will be showing Answer and Decline buttons, but in my smartwatch- there is only the decline. I've install a"Call handler" app from the Gplay. Any suggestions how to fix it? Other app for this type?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English :(
[Sony Smartwatch] deciocavallo:
If is the "call handler" the sony one is normal because accept button works only on sony devices ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] JR.Moraes:
Pff thanks :( Other app that has accept button for sure ? (even if i have to pay, but to be 100% surely it's working)
[Sony Smartwatch] biker750:
the app call handling pro from nixi.com has the accept button for sure And the other usefull options work perfect

There was a smart connect app update in dec 2013 , I used my smartwatch after a long time, I have a few apps installed in the device, but they do now appear neither on the watch nor the smarwatch android app :/
[Sony Smartwatch] uscpsycho:
I just got this watch and had this problem right off the bat. The way I fixed it is by going into the music player settings -> select music player -> generic

The default setting was automatic, but as soon as I changed it to generic it stopped automatically launching the default music player. This is with a S3.

EDIT: Problem not solved. When it was set to automatic it would launch the default player every time and keep playing. Now it plays a brief snippet of a song in Google Play every time. So it's just a different but related problem.
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
Sony needs to update this stupid player. I don't know why it is taking them so long.
[Sony Smartwatch] mskyaxl:
check out this fix!

it should work. I use it on a Sony phone but with CM so..no sony support on it.

Enjoy!
[Sony Smartwatch] evoprime23:
I recently picked up my own sw2 after deciding that ggear jst isn't there in this department ... haven't had any issues with it and all works well ... my s4 is rooted using wanam latest rom as well as having the Sony Music Player installed makes it a lot easier to pair with sw2 n bluetooth headset ... cheers

Umm sorry to break this to you but the smart watch is only compatible with android phones, so the watch is useless to you with the lumia 1520 since it has a windows based OS

Battery drains very quickly..... ¿why?

Hi, I´m trying this device sw1 - mn2, I have installed a lot aplication, but althoug I don´t use a lot the sw the battery drains very quickly, less a 12 hours. I thought than could be any app, like clockit,

Anybody knows app than drains the battery? I readed that the battery spend in 2 or 3 days....
[Sony Smartwatch] udit.kumar:
Is the watch compatible with Moto G?
[Sony Smartwatch] AlexOB1:
Are you running a special clockface, rather than a built in one? If so, that'll be the reason!

Anybody can recomend a clockface than has big digital clock and it doesn´t drain quickly the battery?

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
OK this is probably the last and the right place to post about the problem. This concerns only those who have combination of Samsung phone running TouchWiz based KitKat Android ROM and they use MN1 or MN2. The problem is with the Watch It app. This problem is actually recognized by the developer of the program, however I can not find any alternative to overcome it so I was wondering how are you guys living with it. The problem is that in order to use Watch It app you need to enable accessibility on for this App. When you do that it messes up with the Samsung Keyboard and you are no longer can switch between languages. Unfortunately (you might disagree) I can not not find any keyboard that would be able to compete with Samsung in terms of language support and layout. However living without Watch it is hard too since the watch does not pick up any notification toasts from the phone. Is there any alternative app that anyone using?

Sorry for a ling description.
[Sony Smartwatch] deciocavallo:
swiftkey is the answer
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
I did try it. I don't really like it. I am more wondering what alternatives to Watch It.
[Sony Smartwatch] darren1:
Try turning off Accessibility for Watch It, then goto Settings>Security>Notification access and click on Watch It. Might need a reboot to come in to affect.
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
I will try it. I actually enabled it but did not redstart the phone yet (calibrating battery). But I also read that with this option you still will not see toast.
[Sony Smartwatch] ikrisna:
it is compatible. But you will experience huge battery drain on Moto G and Moto X running KitKat. it will only last less than 12 hours compared to 3-4 days on other device.

Hopefully it will be fixed after the FW update
[Sony Smartwatch] :
Smart watch sucks. Mine has been sitting in a drawer for a year.
[Sony Smartwatch] syounger64:
Then sell it on Craigslist. I like mine with the big silver wrist band. I also have the omate smartwatch but the power button is broken. These are two very different watches. Looking forward to whatever that big update is coming to the sw2.

Edit: I don't want you to be offended as I did buy my SW2 from Craigslist and I'm grateful for the low price plus how much it can do for that price.
[Sony Smartwatch] cha91:
Hi guy, does anyone have information about a possible anti-lost feature?

A friend wants to buy this watch but he wants to know if there is a feature that makes the watch vibrate when the phone and the watch are 10 meters away or so from each other.

Another point, is there the possibility to make the phone ring from the watch?
[Sony Smartwatch] Tonio78370:
Yes on both :D

Impressive Watch

Great watch , it is very good piece of innovation even before 4 yrs Android wear has buzzed..
[Sony Smartwatch] cha91:
Thanks for the answer friend :)

Are both of these features native or does he need to install a first or third-party app?

Then what are you thoughts on the battery life for a normal to heavy use?

(And is the Sony warranty 1 or 2 years if bought in Europe? Sony legal documents say 2 years but never knows... Sorry if this is off-topic)
[Sony Smartwatch] AnceKaiser:
Hi,

I`ve set Tasker up for locking the device and saying "Help! Rescue me!" out loud whenever bluetooth disconnects, and viceversa, when phone and smart watch are connected, Tasker disables the lock.

It`s quite simple, but should you need I can tell you how, step by step
[Sony Smartwatch] Tonio78370:
The loss of BT is native, the ringer is a Sony application. Light use gives about 4 days of use with closing the watch for the night. Very heavy use 24h/24h will leave you with 2~2.5 days I guess.

[MENTION=1073213]AnceKaiser[/MENTION] : since it's not for me, a step by step guide would be awesome so I can show it to my buddy :)

[MENTION=1617141]Tonio78370[/MENTION] : thanks I will forward the info
[Sony Smartwatch] AnceKaiser:
ok here's detailed answers for you:

to make the smart watch vibrate when it disconnects from your phone: it already does it automatically

to make your phone ring: simply use Find Phone app, that's what it's built for

to use Tasker as alarm & lock trigger: keep reading below:

Requirements:

- a mobile phone

- a Smart Watch (duh)

- Tasker installed on your phone

- Smart Connect app on your phone (it's required from the smart watch to manage the connection)

Short explanation:

Smart Connect has the built-in events to do 'something' on an event triggering, such as bluetooth connection, mobile on charge, headphone connection, and so on.

We'll use the bluetooth connection event to make Tasker lock/unlock the phone, and saying something out loud with the Google text-to-speech engine.

First off, open Tasker, go to Tasks and click on the '+' button to add one

give it a name ( I used "lock") and continue

on the Task Edit menu, press the '+' symbol to add the task, then click on 'Display' and then on 'Keyguard'

set 'Set' on and go back to Task Edit [this enables the system lock, in case you keep it disable (as it happens for me)]

now add Display -> System lock, without changing anything, and go back to Tasks menu [this switches the screen off]

add a new task, name it ('unlock' would be nice), add Display -> Keyguard, and set it to 'off' [if you want the lock screen to be disabled, otherwise just skip this step]

enough with Tasker, now open Smart Connect app, and click on the '+' button

select 'Add device' and pick your smart watch (previously paired with your smartphone) and then click on the forward arrow

now click on Start Action to select Start Shortcut and then Task Shortcut

here you will pick the task Unlock (whatever you named it) to assign it to the Connection event

do the same for the End Action, selecting the Lock task this time, then go forward to give this event a name, and Voilà!

Should you want to add a sound alarm you can either use Misc -> Say task in tasker, after point 3., or use Media -> Play Ringtone task.

if you want to try it, then on your smart watch go to settings and deactivate bluetooth to see what happens.

I hope it will be somehow helpful :)
[Sony Smartwatch] cha91:
Thank you so much my friend, that's awesome. Hopefully it's also useful to someone else :)
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
Another good app is WatchIt! It will notify about all the evens on the phone including loss of connection to the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] cha91:
Thanks, how does it compare to other apps?
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
Sorry I am not using any other. This one does all the job that I need from watch-phone communication.

hi, is the MN2 still relevant? I bought one thinking that its SW2!!! How it fares compared to the sw2?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
It's still relevant. One of the biggest factors the MN2 has over the SW2 is that the older one supports widgets. I have mine off the band and clipped to my work lanyard. Here's a few apps you should look into being new to the MN2

Augmented Smartwatch

Notifier Pro (more on this in a moment)

The Sony Smart Connect app

Watch It (conflicts with Augmented. Use either/or)

Custom Watch (different clock faces)

Status View

Vfinder

Notifier Pro is just an app for the phone where you can choose to have it display notifications in a banner and set the sound. What's good is that Augmented or WatchIt can grab the notifications from Notifier Pro and slap them onto the watch. Vfinder opens the phone's shutter so you can see on the watch what the phone sees and Custom Watch allows you to define other clocks aside from the standard. There's a few more but I don't have mine with me atm
[Sony Smartwatch] lrcquest:
Thanks. Any idea if it works with note3?
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
I would think it would work with any phone that is running ICS and higher.

You'd want to snag https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.smartwatch and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware from the Play store
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
Okay so I've got mine with me today. I have new events, find phone, vfinder, mode changer (toggle phone items from the watch), messaging, weather, missed call, status view, countdown, custom watch, augmented smartwatch, calendar reminder, call handling, phonebook and gmail on mine. My favorite is augmented smartwatch as it handles a ton of things. Most of your phone notifications can be routed to that app and things like say...Ebay notifications or maybe a sports app. Augmented will also ding your watch for weather events which can be handy

Is there a way to install Android Wear on MN2?
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
NO
[Sony Smartwatch] glenhendry:
Hi there

I bought my 11yo son a new MN2 for christmas, and we can not get it to link to any Android phone. The bluetooth settings screen never finds the MN2 watch when a scan is done. It doesn't matter if the BT setting screen is invoked from android home screen or the Sony Smart Connect app. I have tried on a Note 1 running 4.1.2 and a Note 3 running 4.4.2, also on a galaxy tab 10.1 running CM and a crap Pendo 7" tab running stock android.

I can never get it to startup in 'watch' mode. It always starts up in the 'connect' mode with the image of the watch and the phone with the spinning arrow. How do get it to start up in watch mode?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the SmartConnect app a dozen times. I have rebooted everything a dozen times. I have scanned on Bluetooth a dozen times, I have even gone into the bush away from errant BT signals. No device finds the watch.

I just tried updating the watches software with Sony PC Companion on a W7 laptop. To my delight, the MN2 software update worked fine, but it made no difference. The watch is still not found by any device via a BlueTooth search.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks kindly.
[Sony Smartwatch] :
You need smart connect AND the smart watch apps. Did you install both?
[Sony Smartwatch] glenhendry:
Yes I do have both the apps installed thanks for your suggestion.

Should I be able to start it up in watch mode?
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
When you start the watch can you press the power button for long time so that the watch is in in the pairing mode and then go to Bluetooth settings and search for devices. Do see the watch there and if you do can you pair it?
[Sony Smartwatch] glenhendry:
No, as per above it doesnt work. The watch does not show up on the phones BT scan. And I cannot start it up any other way apart from in pairing mode. If I click the button once or hold it in, it always goes to pairing mode and never into watch mode. Should it be able to go into watch mode when it has not paired with a phone?

I have even now tried an Xperia phone and it still doesnt work.
[Sony Smartwatch] anubius:
That is really strange. It will go to watch mode only if it was paired at least once. Otherwise no. I don't have any theories beside it is defective. Mine never had such behavior.
