I haven't had any issues with lag or disconnects so far. But perhaps it's because I'm using a Sony phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Canadian DJ:
I have found within the smart watch 2 app some .PNG files allowing me to change the look of some of the icons, no luck finding any watch face files. I also found a file called fw_costanza.bin, and fw_bootloader.bin, anyone have any idea how to open said file type?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] cfchong:
my sw2 screen never goes blank. the watch face is always on. it is either the backlight is on or off.

the backlight has never been on by motion for my sw2. it is either activated by pressing the physical button or activated by incoming notification.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] nnik_1969:
For me no problem with disconections or lag.Great connectivity with my Note 3.Maybe it would be nice to write what mobile phone you use it with,so other users know what to do.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] themissionimpossible:
All that seems perfectly normal.

However this topic is OT here...;)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Canadian DJ:
I'd like it if I could turn off the motion sensor, it may save some battery. Although as it is I get 3-4 days depending on usage, and in two hours it was fully charged from dead.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
yeah this topic was about watch faces initially

that's still my biggest issue with this watch, the lack of watch faces and not being able to design them

i wonder if that firmware_constanza.bin is the firmware that the smartwatch 2 app pushes to the watch, if we could figure out what the structure of that file is...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Canadian DJ:
I think it is that file, still trying to figure out how to open/view/edit... I've looked through the .XML files and many of the files necessary for the watch to run seem to be extracted from costanza.

SW2 watch face

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone of you SW2 owner have this watch face style? It seems like I don't have it on mine :confused:
[Sony Smartwatch 2] nnik_1969:
Nobody has it. Sony forgot to put it, for some reason, in current rom. We hope she will in the future.

Audio

I definitely noticed some sound cracks/ distortion when my SG Note 2 is also connected to the car stereo while playing music. You can almost hear it every couple of minutes, very annoying after a long ride.

Hate to derail this thread but, did you ever get that SmartQ watch? is it any good? I'm still waiting on my Sony Smartwatch but I'm half tempted to pick one of these ups too since they're so cheap.

Oh and sorry for going off topic, I'll shut up now.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
still nothing from Sony, guess i'll give it another go on twitter
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
i wonder if i could reach out to Sophie Herschtel-Keldsen, she apparently is the product manager that shows the pre-release watch with time+date watchface and shake-to-wake in the video, too bad she doesn't have twitter
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Geoffxx:
I wonder why Sony neglected the watch face options, it seems like something really simple to do and as a watch it is the main interface to the user, a few additional colours and designs would be nice also - they really dropped the ball with this one

I suspect there's a SW3 in the pipes and they've dropped the ball with this almost completely, SW2 was really just a minor update to the original SW - I really do think they are working hard on a complete replacement
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fernajm:
New firmware version with 5 new clocks

Hello.

Today i receive on my clock a firmware update that incudes some (until 5) new clock faces. Try to update.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
yeah, only 1 is usable, not impressed, i want to design my own

you should be able to choose an app as watchface, that would enable developers to design all kind of watch faces
[Sony Smartwatch 2] vaqol:
Download BlackMarth Alpha and write smartwatch.Enjoy it!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Rubenos:
Just for this kinda reasons she doesn't have Twitter ;). I'll try and contact here about your needs.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
oi, i wouldn't be rude to her or anything :)

would be great if you could reach out to her, i think especially the screen timeout and watch faces deserve some attention

it's still a great platform, but it's not being used to it's full potential

it has quite a large screen, there could done be so much more with it
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Rubenos:
I agree that it should be possible to add custom watch faces, but what do you exaclty mean with the time out? That you can set how long it has to be inactive in movement before going to standby?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
how long messages are shown with backlight, after x time the screen dims and goes to the watch face

i want to be able to set that time to 20 seconds or something, maybe from 5 to 30 seconds, with 5 second increment?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
you might also want to ask her to look into the glue problem, at least i suspect that's what it is

this is not an incidental problem, as you can see here:

[Sony Smartwatch 2] grimpy:
I found in the SDK something for low power mode which allows to put the display in low power mode

http://developer.sonymobile.com/ref...tion.ApiRegistrationColumns#LOW_POWER_SUPPORT

I think it could be possible to abuse this method to create low power watch faces...

Any thoughts?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
Ruben. any luck reaching out to Sophie? :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Jirka Kotas:
Another five faces, one is which you need.

Hi,

there is one app in the Google Play called Clock Pack for SmartWatch which can (among other things) add another five watch faces to SW2.

Those stay accesible although you uninstall this app.

So, the answer is: Yes it's possible.

Fortunately - one of those faces is what you need.

Unfortunately - design could be beter.

I think, the best idea is, make app for own watch faces creation.

Anybody know how?

I will buy it and i think, others too.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
the answer is no, actually. you can not add watch faces.

apps like clock pack are apps, not watch faces, which means:

-the screen needs to be on all the time

-constant connection to your phone

which results in an empty battery in a matter of hours

the last update did add some watch faces and finally a digital one with time and date, although not perfect

Sony will need to open up the firmware to make adding watch faces possible, looking at the previous watch, that won't happen for quite some time i'm afraid
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Jirka Kotas:
Mistake

Do you mean these watch faces?

If yes I'm sorry for my mystake.

I thought it was added by app.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Danny-B-:
The low power mode is indeed now available to developers, and the first app i'm aware of that uses the mode successfully is PowerAmp Control Pro

there was an update the other day where the dev has enabled low power mode which keeps your coverart etc visable but in monochrome as the SW2 goes into low power mode.

It works great and i'm pretty sure it wouldnt be that hard for Devs to develop an app for watchfaces that use the new low power APIs

just a case of waiting now

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuberion.powerampcontrolpro
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
[MENTION=256235]Jirka[/MENTION]: you mentioned Clock Pack, but the picture you now post is of the newly added watch faces (contained in the new firmware, so they aren't apps), so i have no idea of what you're on about...

[MENTION=219937]Danny[/MENTION]: hmm, sounds interesting

however, i would really like to know if it's true that running an app on the watch (in low power mode or not) maintains a constant connection to the phone, meaning it would still draw a lot of power
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Danny-B-:
It doesnt appear to use much more power than normal, but the monochrome display updates when the next song comes on in real time. I suspect that all the while the watch is paired to your phone it constantly probes to make sure its still there anyway so shouldnt keep a connection live all the time, it probs only updates when there is a need to send a notification etc to the watch.

Since the last update the watch last loads longer than it used to. my phone on the other hand (Galaxy S4 - stock) uses more battery since its last update lol
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rickgillyon:
Great, for this alone it's worth switching from Walkman to Poweramp. Brilliant implementation. You listening, Sony? :D
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mmeidl78:
Now we can have Watchfaces in LowPower-Mode !!!

Here's the link to my german review.

The SW2-App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaybit.smartwatch.customwatch
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rickgillyon:
Thanks, it's a nice app, but disappointing that notifications don't appear on top of the app like with the built-in watch...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Kroutnuk:
Good app.

I love the customization of the watch with background, included in the low power mode.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] themissionimpossible:
Please report here after some days the effective battery drain.

This app looks promising, the only issue might be the SW2 battery life, even with low power mode.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rickgillyon:
I'll not be using it myself. Looks nice and waking the watch up with a tap is great, but notifications not displaying when received is a killer for me. Only used it for half an hour before going back to built-in...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] sakana:
With no notification, make no sense.

Wait for other app ou a new upgrade
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rickgillyon:
To be clear, notifications get to the watch, but just appear in status bar e.g. "Gmail" rather than the message flashing up in the foreground.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] nnik_1969:
Does the smartwatch vibrates when receiving the notification or not?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] rickgillyon:
Yes. Everything is the same except no full-screen notification. Same as if you were using any other app.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ruggs1234:
I use Augemented Smartwatch Pro to give me full screen hands free notifications. Anyone tried this with the low power mode. Does it overide the low power mode watchface and still give the full screen notification?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] vrl13:
Try using Augmented and Smartwatch Status. Set the latter for low power mode autorun after 1min.

You will get an awesome 0-power smartwatch face showing a LOT of info.

If any notification comes Augmented will come forth as usual.

After augmented low-power black&white mode times out, the standard watch face returns.

A minute later the 0-power face from Smartwatch Status should kick in (i have setup a 1 minute delay but sometimes it does not work, maybe 3 minutes is more appropriate so that any notification times out properly)

So I'm ASSUMING that the N900T has the same camera universally. So, if that's so has anyone successfully activated 4k recording on the T-Mobile version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nightfox11:
I have . It's on camera settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrevTec:
It's in the video settings when you're in the camera app. It's a little choppy on playback if you move around too fast, but it still looks amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Your playback is in 1080p. Regardless if you record in 4K. Our screens are only 1920x1080p. You'd only benefit and truly see the difference if you playback on an actual 4K resolution screen.

IMO, 60fps recording is much better right now than 4K recording unless you actually have a 4K TV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dtmcnamara:
played with some 4k video a few days ago. if you record 4k in low light and convert it to 1080 on a computer you eliminate a ton of the noise.

other than that im with you on the 60fps. Would love to see if this could go higher than 60fps.

I've tried two different card, one brand new and one old. My Note 3 won't see that they are installed (connections down and card inserted all the way). I even formatted them on the PC and the Note 3 still doesn't recognize they're installed. It won't even show an option to mount nor format them. I tried putting the usb settings on camera from MTU to see if it'd mount the card on PC and it's not showing anything. Both card work fine on pc and I've had several MicroSD compatible phones including Note II and never had a problem.

Do I need to order a replacement you think?

Thanks All.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
Most definitely I would get a replacement. You should be able to swap it out wherever you got it. A brand new SD card should be recognized by your phone.

NOTES:

Kernel Tweaker!

This is a fairly full featured app in Settings. Fully configure all aspects of the kernel

(except for UV for some known reason). Worth doing this. Set what you know, then set but leave default settings on what you don't know about. Doing so will allow the highest cpu GHz, the lowest battery = best performance and very stable.

KT is also a great ROM/update/gapps flasher. Right from the rom.

Regarding wakelocks and the ability to control them now.

I recommend you look into these and which ones you can disable.

If you do put in the time to search and ask some questions here, your battery will love you!

What's Next.....?

Camera is still a challenge. I put in "A Better Camera App"

and a PlatStore version of the ICS Cam. Bothe of these will give you

HD 1080 res for both Cam and Camcorder.

NOTE!! While the ICS Cam is perfect given our vendor blobs,

it comes with ads!!! Please, enable the ad blocker in

"settings/DirtyTweaks/Misc. Tweaks"

Use it first or make it your default for seamless rom integration

Also. Because of the huge amount of feature here, you will not get a silky smooth

experience until you set all of the kernel, init.d tweaks and animation. My advice

is to 1) head to SU first and set it to what you want. 2) ad blocker as described above.

3) USE THE KERNEL TWEAKER in settings! It is no more or less then EXACTLY

what you need for this rom/kernel. Built by and for this rom. Using all default settings

is just fine but check ALL of the check boxes in there. It is built in so nothing will work better

BUT while it takes advantage of all the features in the kernel, it UNSETS the built in defaults

of the kernel on boot so it can work. (some settings may appear or disappear depending on what you select. ex. Performence- nothing there. BadAss- This sexy Gov., is tweakable and has settings.

- Device specific features - AKA Advanced settings (sensors, touch sense etc...)

:

For the dpi, assuming you have signed into playstore already,

is to go settings/apps and wipe data for playstore. In root explorer

go system/build.prop, open to edit with read/write and scroll down to

density and change the 200 to what you want. 240 is stock.

Save it and reboot, sign back into playstore.

Alternatively, ROMToolbox has a build.prop mod function.

To allow the time/date/weather/calendar...etc to show up customized,

set up cLock as usual in ROMControl and push power to turn off display.

Push again and swipe down the clock borders below the clock digits to

extend the lock screen carousel. Swipe to the right and tap the plus

sign to add a new widget. Add cLock. Swipe to the left and long press

the original clock then drag to the top and delete.

The new customized cLock should settle into place.
