[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bahua78:
I love my new phone, but I can't seem to figure out how to access its recovery. I rooted on the first day(way to go, community!) and have confirmed that root access is working. Titanium is doing its thing without an issue.

My question: How do I access the recovery on my HTC EVO 4G LTE? Read on for what I've done so far that hasn't been successful, to avoid the forum back-and-forth.

I installed a custom recovery(twrp), and I want to access it to confirm it actually did install, but it appears that the recovery is not accessed in the same way as with the OG EVO. I've tried holding down one or both volume buttons as the phone powers on, and all that accomplishes is a quick blinking of the HTC branding splash page, and then a black screen for as long as I hold down the buttons(I've held them for as long as three minutes, and the result is the same). As soon as I let them go, the system boots normally, with no option available to enter the recovery.

I tried asking on the #HTC-EVO-LTE channel, but it wasn't much help as the people there aren't as interested in user q&a as they are in development. That's just fine by me. Just a misstep on my part.

+ewalk486 did PM me and advise me to turn on fastboot, which I did. But the behavior is unchanged. Any help would be great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
try using the goomanager
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bahua78:
Goomanager, which is what I used to install my recovery, and what told me that the install had succeeded, booted me to the boot menu. I've noted that the phone still says S-ON, which is troubling.

Anyway, I select BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY, and it just drops me back to where I was. No recovery comes up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
there is no s-off yet bro

where did u get that info? lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bahua78:
What info? I reported what appears to be wrong. I selected BOOTLOADER and then selected RECOVERY, and no recovery came up. That's where the discussion is.
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
There seems to be a few threads regarding the new Sony Smartwatch so i thought it might be a good idea to correlate all the info into one handy thread! If you have any tips/tricks/apps or general info you think should be included then post below! If any of the info helps you dont forget the thanks button and rate the thread!!​

Ill update this thread when i can and will hopefully add new apps as they become available on the market. If you think there's something missing from this thread then please let me know!! :)
[Sony Smartwatch] rn9215:
Today i got my smart watch and i noticed something.The menu style has changed its no longer 4 cons on one screen instead it shows only one app at a time more like the original live view!.....its actually quiet nice ......as the area is big its easy to touch...:)
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
Are you sure you're not in the Widgets screens? Try swiping up and see if it takes you to the app screens then!
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
Ive just received a new update to the smartwatch app and the smartwatch itself!

New features include:

New UI for the smartwatch app in liveware manager. Now seperate sections for apps, clocks, sorts apps, sort widgets, usage tips and about.

The 'Clocks' section has new clocks!! The standard one as before. a new digital and analogue clock which will stay visible for as long as the watch detects movement.

Active notifications. When the gmail, messaging icon etc. notification shows on the screen you can tap on it to go directly to that notification! (instead of having to unlock and go to new events.)

Have you noticed anything else? Let me know and ill add it to the OP!!

Latest version is:

Smartwatch (watch)- 0.1.A.3.3

Smartwatch (app)- 1.2.33
[Sony Smartwatch] matej1990:
I hope Sony will be releasing updates more often! The last update was very welcomed. Hope it fixes my problems with battery indicator... watch was showing battery charging status, although I was wearing it and not charging. :rolleyes:

One correction: "Double tap the strap

or display

to turn the screen on"

Also...

Analog clock is useless. It has no numbers (3,6,9,12).

Small digital clock changes one position down every minute (it has 3 positions: upper, middle, lower). Same is with battery charging indicator!

Battery indicator is now always visible when charging! <-- unfortunately this is THE best feature in this update!

Previously I could turn the display completely off with the button (clock screen -> press button -> screen turns off), but now it's impossible. Pressing the button causes looping between clock screen and aplications/widgets. Sony why are you removing functions... =(
[Sony Smartwatch] NSider:
The update broke my dad's SmartWatch - it's restarting as soon as it connects to his One X. I tried it on my One X and I couldn't even find it via bluetooth!

Tried to restart the watch in every way possible, unpaired it with my dad's phone, reistalled the LiveWare and SmartWatch apps.. no use.

I see from the Play Store comments that some people are suffering from the same issue with Galaxy S2 and Sensation 4G. Any suggestions?
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
That is weird because im on the One X as well. have you tried holding the power button (whilst the screen is on) for 15 seconds? That will hard reset the watch. Id do this:

1. uninstall the smartwatch and liveware apps from his One X

2. Reboot phone.

3. Hold power button for 15 seconds to hard reset watch.

4. reinstall liveware app

5. Pair phone with smartwatch again, reinstall smartwatch app.

Hopefully that will sort it! :)
[Sony Smartwatch] NSider:
Thanks, but I tried all that and it's no use. :(
[Sony Smartwatch] pwalz:
Excellent watch for me but it really miss a true email app (and not only fo Sony smartphones).

I've seen the K9 mail app but K9 don't work with Exchange 2010 servers (i've tried !)

The update of today is great (active notifications, differents clocks...).

I hope someone will create another email app ! :)

Warning! Fatal firmware update being pushed

This morning (May 31 2012), I awoke to a new version of the SmartWatch software. It offered to push new firmware to the device. After the flash (which went normally), the watch reboots EVERY time the screen wakes up. The market is full of people who are furious.

[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
Updated op. Thanks for the info, sorry your having problems. Weird how its not affecting all of them.
[Sony Smartwatch] Bertobert:
Same here - update broke the watch

Same here.

Updated this morning - everything went well. But after the update the watch disconnectes and reboots all the time.

I realized the following behaviour - I am able to start the watch and then it tries to sync with the phone. After a while the screen goes blank. But if I wake it up now the screen flickers twice & it reboots with the "Sony" display.

Same thing when I receive a notification - so a connection between the phone (Xperia S) and the watch is actually established.

I chatted with some guy from Sony support & he told me to contact my dealer to get a replacement (I just got it yesterday) :(

I figure I will wait a few days if there is an update and if that does not help I will get a replacement for it is still in warranty.
[Sony Smartwatch] love.lgv.tx:
Has anyone used the Ultimate Watch add on (referenced in the OP). It's the app that keeps the clock on the screen at all times. If so, do you have any experience to share about the battery life when using this app?
[Sony Smartwatch] gtdRR:
I have used it. Unfortunately for me, it was a huge drain on battery. Watch wouldn't last even one day while using that watch app with the screen on setting.

Smartwatch

Hi at all of forum, i'm new here!: D

I have smartwatch and i have a question: in some images of it there is a BELL in the upper left, there is a app for the bell?sounds a alarm?
[Sony Smartwatch] antipaq:
Hi Francesco !

That would be good. The SmartWatch can't make a sound. Not have a Speaker

I haven't seen the bell.: Confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] dansharpy:
I've used this as well before the latest update. Really liked all the different styles but massive drain on the battery, even after the latest update which made it dim. Battery wouldn't last more than about 4 hours :eek: with the latest smartwatch update there is an option to have the clock showing all the time natively (digital or analogue), again drains the battery quicker but lasts a bit longer with this method!

@Francesco I think the bell icon is used to show that you have an alarm set if I remember correctly. Not sure though as I don't use the built in alarm app. Welcome to the forum! :D
[Sony Smartwatch] Francesco72arc:
Hi , there are some images on internet of a bell on screen of smartwatch , if you search whith google , you can found it :-)

bye
[Sony Smartwatch] antipaq:
Yes I have found. But should only be advertising on calendar reminders. We have no buzzer.
[Sony Smartwatch] userfriendlyme:
I've had the Sony smart watch a few weeks now got it as a bday gift and I love it. Dec better then there first live view watch it stays connected and works as it suppose to. I luckily had no issues with the new update I received a couple days ago. I like the new watch on feature although it does drain. The battery faster. It at least last through the day but I'm OK with not having it on and tapping the screen when I need to. The battery last me a week when its set normally.

[Sony Smartwatch] mEMBER83:
Switch off your smartwatch. Now turn it on and hold the power button for maybe 15 seconds (until it turns off again). This way you reset it. On next start the watch should be found.

Hello people,

I am Brazilian and I have a LG P920 and now bought a clock SmartWatch.

Anyone here can tell me if it is not compatible with my phone?

When I saw the pairing bluetooth on P920 does not ask for the same install that software being tested in two other devices and Samsung worked, does not exist P920 compatibility with the clock?

I tried to install the 2 programs (Liveware and SmartWatch) without even asking for it but to no avail, the bluetooth device is paired but Liveware not see the clock, can someone help me?
[Sony Smartwatch] mEMBER83:
Reset your watch. I explained it a few post ago.
[Sony Smartwatch] Jutt69:
OK, I must be missing something here. Just got my Smartwatch and set it up but Google Play store says my device isn't compatible with the Messaging or Calls apps. I've got an HTC One X which was on the list of compatible phones so what gives? I'm running CM10, are these apks not compatible with JB?

Can someone share the apks so I can sideload them?
[Sony Smartwatch] jrk190:
See, I'd totally buy the SmartWatch, but It's $100... I plan on getting the LiveView for about $20, but is there anywhere with the SmartWatch for under $100? Even some sort of Discount on Amazon would make me get it....

I think to upgrade to the Galaxy Note 2 and with the BT 4.0, do you think i have more battery for my use Smartwatch and Note ?

The Smartwatch work with BT 3.0 ... then nothing change or it's possible to obtain more battery ?

Sorry for my english :o

s3 works now fine thanks to ggregori

my battery is still at one day when iam connected to the mn2

Smartwatch dead?

I did a reset of my brand new Smartwatch three times (IIRC; pairing didn't work, no matter what I did, that's why I did the reset). After the third time, the Smartwatch didn't start any more.

It seems to be dead. Neither another reset (pressing button for 15s) nor pluging in the cable for charging or connecting to the PC does anything. Has anyone an idea what to do?
[Sony Smartwatch] eirh:
Charge it for a while, then try to turn it on again, it should do that just normally. You say it's brand new, did you charge it for at least two hours (as prescribed) before turning it on for the first time?

Having issues with pairing

Hi,

I just got my Sony Smartwatch. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Ace, running 2.3.6 version of Android.

I am trying to pair my mobile with the watch but the smartwatch does not show up in my bluetooth device list. I tried multiple times but it never shows up and hence I cannot pair it. :( :confused: :crying:

I tried with one of my friend's Xperia Ray and it worked fine.

Could some one please help me? :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Smartwatch] ML417:
I've been having this problem too. I solved it using a rubber band, just loop it around the smartwatch on the charger side.

anyone else having problems with notifications not being sent to the smartwatch?
[Sony Smartwatch] Claus72:
Yes, solved by restarting smartwatch :victory:
[Sony Smartwatch] TRJS:
My Smartwatch is working again - it turned out that the charger is not working well (it has two USB ports, and when I plug in a second device it just stops charging the first device sometimes...). Still it confuses me a bit that even pluging the Smartwatch into my computer didn't start charging it, even though I had plugged it in for quite a long time. But after leaving the Smartwatch disconnected over the night, it started charging after the first second I plugged it into the charger. Sometimes these devices act just as weird as women I guess...

Now I'm quite happy with the Smartwatch. I also have the I'mWatch - very beautiful, but the software is nowhere compared to the Sony Smartwatch. No missed call notification, no SMS displayed on the watch - at the moment it's actually not much more than a headset. And it has no vibration alarm - so when the smartphone is in another room you probably miss the call and won't notice it because of the non-existant missed call notification. Oh, well!
[Sony Smartwatch] FC1032:
Sorry, but I couldn't find an answer myself...

But was there an update that made the watch manage to keep the time when it's not synced?

Or does it still need to be synced to have the time?

If it loses connection it still keeps the time, no problem!

I had a similar problem with my first SmartWatch about 6 months ago. I ordered it from Verizon off the web. I went to my local Verizon store and they exchanged it for a new one. No problems since.
