I'm runing the watch with my Xperia ZL with Android 4.4 and it work just fine!

One suggestion, with the watch on, keep press the power button for 20 sec aprox to rebot the watch, then, power on and try to pair with the phone.

Question: the phone have the "keep visible" option selected?! maybe the phone is not been recognized by the watch...

------------------------------------------------------------------- oooooooooo-------------------------------------------------------------

What aplicattion for Whats App notification are you guys using?! I buy Augmented, but not work properly. Some suggestion?

Regards!

Sony Smartwatch NM2 Broken CLIP

Hello.

I have a Sony SmartWatch NM1 and has broken a hinge clip. Could tell me where you bought your new clip?

Thank You
[Sony Smartwatch] NapalmDawn:
Unfortunately the watch will not start in watch mode until it is getting a solid connection with a BT device. The reason being is that it's not really a watch, it's an external mini-display. it has to get data from a source and that source is communications with a device. The spinny arrows is actually the pair mode which is good. It's what it SHOULD be when the watch is new to you. Mine has followed me from a JB based Rezound to a JB based Samsung G3. Uninstall all your watch apps and turn BT off.

Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware

and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.smartwatch

Turn your BT on. With the watch being off, turn BT on for the phone, tell it to be visible to other devices and then have it do a BT search. Hopefully it will find your watch. If the screen starts to dim on the watch, just tap the face to keep it lit up bright while the phone tries to find it.

Hello guys!

So i have this watch for years, but now i can't pair it with my phone ... i used it daily, but then when i carried it in a bag, it hard reseted itself (i think something pushed the button for 15sec). I tried deleting everything even installed a new rom to see if thats the problem, i tried with my friend phone, but no .... it stuck at the pairing screen. The watch shows me the pairing numbers, but on my telephone the pairing window doesn't show up, so i can't enter the numbers. Any help?

Smartwatch 2/Note 4/Bluetooth problems

Hi,

I bought a SW2 last December and have been experiencing a particular problem. I've narrowed it down to the Bluetooth/Smartwatch 2 connection.

If the phone and watch are connected, my Note 4 will randomly soft reset and hang on the AT&T logo screen, forcing me to pull out the battery in order to turn it off. Similarly, I noticed my battery dies much quicker with the watch connected even if I don't have much going on.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm not rooted, running lollipop, latest SW2 software.

I was able to narrow it down to the connection because I ran different scenarios and never experienced problems until BT/watch was connected.

any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I would love to continue to use the SW2's other functions beyond telling time, but the reset is such a hassle.
[Sony Smartwatch] jumpjack:
I can only tell that a faster battery drain is normal if you keep bluetooth on 24 hours.

Don't know about reset issue.
[Sony Smartwatch] bix66:
hello,

after years I took my dear old SW1 out of the drawer but there is no way to make it recognized by android phones (Sony and Huawei). I downloaded the Smart Connect application but when (from the app) I try to download the SmartWatch app, from the store it finds nothing..and the phone does not pair with the phone. What can I do to see my SW1?

Thanks so much
[Sony Smartwatch] nestori:
It's too old... There's no apps to use it well

Search the old app "Smart Connect" and the SW1 app.

I can search in my backup if you not find it ;)

I've read some peoples smartwatch lasts for about 5 days !

Mine only lasts about 1 and a half days and sometimes only 1 day. I use it lightly as well just check twitter here and there.

Would it be anything to do with my ram or storage usage ?

My internal storage is 294MB used - 86MB free

My ram is 190MB used - 134 MB free

Btw I have a Xperia PLAY
[Sony Smartwatch] mjybarr:
Had this watch for about a week, and so far loving it! Although the charging cable has some issues...which has been mentioned several times already. Newest firmware seems to improve battery life and overall functionality.
[Sony Smartwatch] efex:
Using galaxy nexus and havent experienced any problems at all in the software. The charger cable is a bit glitchy, but I just need to charge once a week for one hour, so thats not really a problem.

One tip for you guys who use Jelly Bean, you can go in to Apps menu (in phone settings) and disable notifications for Smart Watch. This will make the constantly being on "connected-notification" go away :)

[Sony Smartwatch] bravoleader:
I'm sorry if it has been asked before but, how do i keep the "clock" always on instead of having the clock going off with the screen?

I've read that with the latest firmware it could be done but i cannot find where.

Thanks :)
[Sony Smartwatch] Bladder61:
BravoLeader

Use the liveware software on you phone and open up your smartwatch app. You should see the screen with six tiles that you use to add applications, sort widgets, etc... the tile in the upper right corner says clocks. Open that up and you will see that you have 3 clocks to choose from. Two will stay on as long as movement is detected.
[Sony Smartwatch] bravoleader:
Damnit XD

I used the first one and did not read the explanation below -.-'''

Thanks a lot. How long does the battery last with the digital clock on all the time?

[Sony Smartwatch] Spectre51:
Drains it faster of course. I personally just use the first option and don't mind tapping the watch to turn it on.
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
yes, i am using it on the sensation 4g ( tmobile us)

it works fine, and is great UNTIL you restart the phone or step out of bluetooth range.

then its one hell of a time getting it to reconnect again.

i would imagine that sony will update the software and firmware as time goes on to support more devices.

when i talked to sony they said that hte sensation was not "secifically" supported

but if you have patience, then i would recommend the smart watch.

the more buyers, the more support sony will give the smartwatch users, and the better the market will become for smart watches.
[Sony Smartwatch] Philsan:
The strange thing is that my old HTC Wildfire, "specifically supported", didn't work, my new Galaxy Nexus, "not specifically supported", works perfectly (no disconnections when in range and very fast reconnections - 3 seconds).

Sleep Tracker

Would it be possible for this watch to be used as a SleepTracker device? It has accelerometer to monitor sleeping stages and can vibrate to wake up users... Is there an app for this?
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
Never heard of that, why you don't want to sleep?
[Sony Smartwatch] efex:
Hahaha, comment of the week! Rofl!

Sent from the future using my Galaxy Nexus
[Sony Smartwatch] cevar_blackwing:
Haha... actually I was thinking of using it as something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/SleepTracker-Elite-Version-Sleep-Monitor/dp/B0026RHFPS/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_img_b

Using the accelerometer to feed data to an app like "Sleep as Android" or "SleepBot Tracker"

The apps will determine the best time to wake you up based on optimal sleep cycle then send a message to

turn on the SmarthWatch's vibrate just like an alarm.
[Sony Smartwatch] efex:
Shouldn't be impossible.. can any of these apps send a pure notification when its time to wake up, without starting an alarm? Just thinking, maybe a cusrom notification app like "NotifySmartWatch" can do it in that case.

OK to post about new SmartWatch app here?

Hi, it's my first post...I was wondering if it would be OK to post in this thread regarding a new app I've just released for the Sony SmartWatch.

Not sure if it's OK because

a) I'm new

b) the official thread for announcing paid apps is restricted to members of longer standing (understandably)

If an admin wanders by this post, please let me know if it would be OK. Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch] lepapirriky:
I'm sure the admin wilt notice of this particular post but maybe mods will, either way tell us what your app is about.
[Sony Smartwatch] Number11Road:
My app is a scrolling ticker for your SmartWatch. It lets you define ten different messages, each with its own typeface, font size, style, colors and scroll speed. The message to display can be selected from the phone or from the SmartWatch itself. The phone app has a "preview" mode that lets you see each message exactly as it will appear on the SmartWatch. I also included a "flip screen" function that turns the SmartWatch display upside-down; if you're wearing the watch, this will make it easier for other people to see the message.

It's my very first app! I'm pretty proud of it! If I get the go-ahead from a mod I will post the name of the app and a link to its Google Play Store page.

UPDATED

PLAY STORE VERSION HERE

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.sw.vibratealarm

----

Here you are the first alpha version. Try it, but do not trust it. Today it did not wake up me :o, but I want to put this out in order to get feedback.

- When it is activated, you will see a notification with the alarm hour at notification bar

- When it works, you will receive a notificacion every 8 secs until you stop it.

Regards,

pacosal
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Thank you for your work.

I have tried the app and it is working fine but when it start to notify it is not possible to stop it from the watch.

I have to disable the application from the phone.
[Sony Smartwatch] pacosal:
Yes, you must tap the notification, and tap the arrow button. After that you will see another button "Stop alarm".
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
If you hit the icon for the app onthe watch it will open a screen with an arrow at the bottom. Hit that and it has an option to stop the alarm :)

EDIT: too quick for me!

Link added to OP, thanks for your work Pacosal!
[Sony Smartwatch] pacosal:
Thanks for your quick reply ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Ok, I will try.

Now my watch is in charging.
[Sony Smartwatch] pacosal:
I had to put default clock because battery.

BTW if you want to try vibrate alarm at night, disable mobile data in order to not getting others notifications.
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Instead of having one new notification every 8 sec, it is possible to have only one notification with vibrations every 8 sec?

Having one notification every 8 sec means that I have only 8 sec to touch the icon on the watch and disable the notification.
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
I think it has to be like that to make it vibrate (i.e. it will only vibrate when a notification is received.) If you dont want them stacking up, under app settings in the smartwatch app (on your phone) disable 'show in new events' then if you click on the actual app icon on the smartwatch you dont have to try and catch the notification! Hope that makes sense!!
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Ok, I have understood.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Another idea for a app that could be very usefull is to have a clock, a very little persistent clock with dimmer to save the battery.

The clock should be moving every one minute in order to not damage the screen.

The clock should be like the original clock always displayed but very tiny.

I have tried custom watch for smartwatch in the playstore but this app drains the phone battery very quicly.
[Sony Smartwatch] pacosal:
New version attached. :cowboy:

I'm using it with an HTC Desire Z. It works quite well but sometimes, more or less 50% of times, when I go far from phone, it's difficult to automatic reconnnect and I have to turn off and turn on the bluetooth on phone. Any advice for better connections?
[Sony Smartwatch] loueber:
i had same issue with my sensation until i got the latest liveware update from the market.

do you have all the latest updates to liveware and smartwatch? check for both.

it works perfect since last liveware update last week.

instead of rebooting phone, try powering off the watch when your back in the blutooth zone, then power back on, it connects faster that way then trying to auto connect.

i also noticed that when u are out of the range, for a certain period of time i noticed this scenario:

out of range just a shirt time like 1 to 2 minutes:

Auto reconnect works perfect.

out of range for 2 or more minutes..:

auto reconnect does not work and i have to reboot the watch.

i was thinking about creating some sort of bluetooth bridge in my home with the cheap computer dongles and computer downstairs, and computer upstairs. this way the house will be saturated with the one bluetooth signal.. but not sure if i can figure out how to do that..

the signal distance with the watch is pathetic. its only like 10 feet, if there is a wall in between then forget it. signal is lost.

BUT, this could be the fault of our phones not having a powerful transmission as well...

when im at home i want to be able to go from room to room with my watch and leave the phone on its charger, but i lose signal when i do that.
[Sony Smartwatch] RobyPiro:
Thanks, I have already the last updates. I noticed the same scenario you described: if I stay away from phone for 1/2 minutes no problem, if I stay away longer I get connection problems... Another thing I noticed is that if I try to operate on it (not only read the time, but swipe towards apps) while it's disconnected it starts to try to reconnect and goes in a kind of "connecting loop" and I have to turn off it.

Probably it's an issue with HTC phones

Hi all,

Vibrate Alarm App is at Google Play. Now it is improved and without errors. Beta version will work until get 100 events, then will not work anymore.

Here is the description:

Description

This app will launch a vibrate alarm at a specific time.

It will send a notification every 10 secs (you can change this value) until a max of 20 times. To stop it you must read the notification and press Stop Alarm.

When the alarm is set you will see a clock in notification bar.

Do NOT trust on this app only, use another alarm too. Quit sound and mobile data in your mobile at night to avoid others notifications.

Is it possible to set the alarm on the watch, or does this have to be done on the phone?

Only in the phone. This kind of settings are done always this way.

But still, shouldn't it be possible to set the alarm on the watch itself? It's possible to control the music player with the watch, shoudn't be impossible to implement a "clock control" to the watch?

Just picked up a Sony Smartwatch and have been using with my rooted & overclocked Moto Droid X, working great and loving it.

Question is: Would like to set the watch up on 2 phones; want to use it with my work phone (AT&T LG Nitro HD) during the day and my personal phone other times, any issues with setting it up on 2 phones?

Also, any email notification apps that will work with exchange 2010?

thanks,...

Its fine on two phones but you will have to unpair and repair it each time you want to switch.
[Sony Smartwatch] telcodave:
thanks.

watch works much better with my droid x, with the lg nitro it disconnects and connects randomly (thought it would work better with the lg due to bluetooth 3.0, dual core, etc...)

only real issue i have is: with either phone do i get an answer option with call handling, only ignore. any work around for this?
[Sony Smartwatch] Spectre51:
Not sure on that. I've only used it on Xperia Phones from Sony.

I see it when I use the watch with my Xperia ion or Xperia S and can answer the call using it. Wonder if it is some incompatibility of the phone model you guys are using and the app. I've only used it with Xperia phones so I couldn't tell ya.
