Screen lock option?

Is there any lock option or pattern unlock for the watch?

if there is sensitive info in texts or call logs, it can easily be seen if the watch is not on my wrist.

wish there was some sort of screen lock option for the watch..
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
That is a good idea
[Sony Smartwatch] labtopia:
so i just got one of these and like the idea, i find that in a little while the watch loses the phone and shows the connecting window like it's not paired or a red broken connection icon. nothing seems to reconnect the thing to the phone but unpairing it from the phone and repairing it. any idea on this? i'm using an evo shift.
[Sony Smartwatch] telcodave:
So, outside of diagnosing issues with the watch, what is everyone using it for? anything "out-of-the-box" or interesting?

So far, i'm just using it for:

caller ID (wish i could answer)

email & text message reading

quick text replies

music

turn wifi on and off

pretty boring.....
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
this is a common issue.

try rebooting the watch when you lose connection and it tries to reconnect.

re pairing does solve it, but it takes too long.

i know mine takes 2 reboots of the watch.

the first reboot connect to live view,

then the second reboot gets the smartwatch app to start.

fortunatly the watch reboots fairly quickly

same here, i also use it while i ride my motorcycle.. its nice instead of having to pull out my phone at red lights.

the google maps app works well also.

although it doesnt do MUCH, it makes life much more convenient to people who constantly have to keep checking their phone to see if thye have messages or other notices

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Not sure if there is another thread or if this can be its own thread OR, place this in the original post?

but i thought it would be good if we could start a compilation of requested apps .

so ill start:

Requested apps:

1-Some sort of watch screen lock so others cant view personal messages when its not on my wrist.

2- Watch app that starts the audio recording or video recording on my phone through the watch interface. ( think of covertly recording a convo just by touching your watch. or starting video recording from across the room)
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
I need a app with very little clock dimmed and with dark colour in order to save the battery that show always the time.

The clock should be move every one minute in order to do not damage the screen with persistent image.

I have tried customize clock for smartwatch but this app drain my phone battery a lot.

Font too small

Hey guys its been a week since i have been using the Sony smart watch, it works fine except the font is so small that i can barely read anything on it.. This problem affects all the applications on the watch! :( I have paired it with the Galaxy note(Android 4.0.3). I tried it with Sony Xpeira Arc S (on Gingerbread) and it works great the font size is normal when paired with Xperia. Can anyone help or has anyone experienced this sort of problem before?
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
i didnt know you can change font size... mine is much larger than that. im on htc sensation
[Sony Smartwatch] Number11Road:
I've been working on this very app for a while, trying to both constantly show the time and maximize battery life. I hope to have something to show in the next week or so...
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Thank you very much, great news. :D
[Sony Smartwatch] Apaar:
Font size

You cant change the font size... this is more like a bug when using the watch with Galaxy note, can hardly read anything, hope there is a fix soon :confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] gtdRR:
I use it for the same and also to:

-Enable/disable WiFi hotspot, AirDroid, Tablet Talk using the AppWidgetDisplay application from the Play Store.

-Display system notifications

It comes in handy while I am at work and need to keep my phone in my pocket.
[Sony Smartwatch] pacosal:
Maybe I will make the second one. Some similar thing. :)
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
that would be awesome... could come in very handy.

make it for the stock audio or video recorder
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
I can't wait anymore . How does it work the new app?
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
blinking time to save battery.

i have a simple thought regarding this...

if the time clock constantly on runs down a battery at lets say 100% in 30 miinutes

then if you set the time clock to BLINK every 1 second ( one second on, one second off)

then it SHOULD only run the battery down to 50% in the same time period right?

maybe make an app that turns the time on and off at a user interval.

if you looked at your watch and it was off, just wait one second.. and its now on...

thoughts?????

Anyone know of an email app for exchange?

[Sony Smartwatch] aleekwen:
I use Executive Assistant which supports TouchDown for exchange to get sender/subject of emails to my Sony SmartWatch.

font issue

i recently got mn2 paired it with s3 installed all the required apps n widgets...the only issue with me is the font size when i read any incoming msg email etc...4get about reading i cant even make out even a single letter...can somebody come out with this issue which i think is with note & s3 or may be wid most galaxy phones...if sony comes out soon with some solution then its well n fine...or else im left with a piece of future gadget which will stop me from being optimistic about it...

CAN there be made some separate messaging extension for galaxy phones???something like developing upon the existing sony messaging extension n just changing the in-app font size which would match up to its exact size when compared to sony or htc phones???

OR something like giving choices of small,medium,large in their messaging ext. which will solve this issue with any other compatible phones out their.....please help

Hi everyone

I'm on miui on my samsung galaxy S I9000 and I want to come back to the stock rom Android 2.2 to sell my phone but I have 2 problems :

-my home button doesn't work anymore

-I tried to acces to the download mode with adb with the command "adb reboot download" but it doesn't work, my phone just restart.

I can just acces to the recovery with adb with "adb reboot recovery"

Anyone can help me plz ?

thanks !

yes just recovery but I can acces to recovery but to come back to a stock rom I need to acces to download mode ?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaegin:
Yes, you have to enter Download mode and flash one official Samsung firmware (like JVU) via Odin, re-partition selected.

If you cannot enter in Download mode, but you can go into recovery mode, i'd try to flash a .zip kernel like semaphore to try to restore the download mode

i have a solution that worked for my I9000 when the three buttons stopped working and I dont have a jig and i was on 2.1 which was neither working nor entering download or recovery mode ...

the solution is that you remove the sim card and memory card and the battery as well , then you bring a hair dryer and put it on Hot level and center it, not very near, between the camera and the speaker for ten seconds and quickly put the battery back into the phone and press home+low volume and power this will put you into download mode, for me it didnt work for the first time because you know I was afraid of ruining my device but in the second try :p it worked .. YOU may not like it but it works and for me it didnt harm my phone . Use this solution on your own risk and if and only if you cant find other solutions like jig .

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I thought maybe it was my battery (anker 1900) so they replaced it, and although my battery life increased, once I get to around 12%, it'll jump to 4 and then die in 5 minutes, many times before the phone can even shut itself off, it just loses power. Almost as if its.misreading the voltage until it gets very very low. I know this was a problem on gingerbread, didn't think it was on ice cream sandwich. Any thoughts? Its really annoying

This anker battery does last longer than my last anker, I got over 4 hours of screen use with wifi over 9 or 10 hours. But the jumping to 4% must be software since it happened on both batteries. Haven't tried using my stock battery yet. Anyone else experience this?
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Have you tried one of the recalibration methods on xda? Or you can use battery monitor widget pro to enter upper and lower limits for your current setup.

from HTC Pyramid / Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Well, in the lower levels of the battery, ie below 20% the % reading is quite unreliable. This is normal, because voltage fluctuations will cause wrong battery readings.

To show you an example, after your battery dies out, leave it for a few minutes & then try to switch on your phone. You will still be able to, because the battery hasn't completely drained.

You should calibrate your battery & see if that helps too :)

This page is for people disappointed by S/Fonys (formerly Sony Ericsson) decision to pull the Xperia Play from the ICS update list, several months after committing to it.

For those Xperia Play users our there, make sure Sony knows you won't forget this and won't just be walked over.

Join the boycott. #SONYmakeforget
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Umm, it's a little late for that. They got your money for the Xperia Play, and since there are few enough of us Play users, our boycott will not many any bit of a difference to Sony.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
Just because they already got our money for the Xperia Play doesn't mean we can't deny them any future custom.

[Xperia Play General] mustbepbs:
What's with this sense of entitlement? You bought a product. You didn't sign a contract. Sony can make any call they want. As much as you don't like it, Sony did it to help xperia users. You'd probably want to boycott Sony if they released ICS and it was worse than gingerbread. Just cut the crap with these stupid threads.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
I bought the xplay on the commitment given by sony that the phone would see the ICS update. Sure, no contract but definitely covered under consumer law here in the UK.

As much as you don't like it, not everyone believes every word Sony says as if its holy scripture. Nor does everyone believe that they put enough effort into fulfilling their commitment to update the device.

To answer your last comment; no.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
Boycott???

Please, grow up.
[Xperia Play General] The Alpha Gamer:
Erm......no! Grow up. So we don't get one meaningless update. Why is this bothering people so much? If Sony didn't announce that we were getting it, people wouldn't care. There's still gonna be custom ICS roms, so what's the problem?

What's worse are the babies who say they're never buying Sony phones again. Over one update? Ok, by all means give up on the best make of phones over one little update.
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
Yes Mr Wolf, boycott.

I am not boycotting Sony, but ppl who do have reason, the Other OS PS3 thing, the X10 eclair/froyo thing, and now this.
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Other OS on PS3 annoyed the hell outta me. Due to not having a laptop at the time my PS3 became my desktop. Then they removed it...Then my PS3 broke

Then I started using OnLive instead :) well, abusing the 30min Free Trials XD

Still, I'm not boycotting. Sony have a good reason for not updating. However, I do think they should release the code that they have now so that devs can work on it some more for people who want it.

Me, I'm sticking to Gingerbread...Makes my games work :)
