Is it possible to add Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 to install compatiblity list?

Would be nice :good: ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ukdtweak:
Just got my Sony Smartwatch 2, got it set up with my SGS 4, but cant install this app as it is not compatible, any chance somebody can upload the .apk, I currently am using Augmented app but the UI is naff and controls weird and setup is messy so would love to try this app out.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Nomad1600:
Sorry, I haven't completely successful running Watchify on my GS3 with a custom TW 4.3 ROM (CleanROM). It does seem to catch notifications (I am using it with email and Gmail right now). It lists out my stock (Comcast) email out as a group and provides a line or two of content; on Gmail it can provide the full email. What seems different is that clicking on the icon on the watch opens up the extension in the same way the Slideshow extension does... you see a bit of animated lines scroll by before it opens up... as opposed to other extensions that just seem to open.

I have had a bit more success using WatchIt but my best experiences have been with the stock extensions (Twitter, Facebook, Messaging, and Gmail).
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Chris_c81:
Hello. Great app, using it as my main notification push now.

One thing I would really like to see though is the ability to use preset templates for messaging (Hangouts) and maybe Gmail too.

Many thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] AlexOB1:
Am I missing something: how come you haven't programmed this to add actual notifications to the watch (visible in the top pull down) rather than just within the watch app?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Chris_c81:
In not sure that any of these type notification apps use the pull down menu do they!?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] AlexOB1:
Yep, WatchIt! does.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] aimfire72:
Installed 1.0.8 on my Xperia Z Ultra... on Android 4.3. Doesn't show up in the Smartwatch app or on the watch itself.

Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled several times, still nothing. :(
[Sony Smartwatch 2] KrokGena:
There are many limitations if you use the "Sony watch notifications". For example it is not possible to let the watch vibrate twice or in some other pattern, the app could not show smilies (but only ?????), it is not possible to delete all/read notifications or mark all as read etc. The first version was implemented that way and I moved away from it to have more possibilities. Other than that there was a bug in the Sony firmware where some notifications could not be deleted (only by clearing the application data of the SmartWatch 2 application).

It is quite unlikely that the "actual watch notifications" will come back for this app.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fr0st420:
KrokGena do you have any idea why your app doesn't show up on my smartwatch? Is it a kitkat issue maybe? Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Tikerz:
Is the Email notification only supposed to show sender and subject? I can't seem to read any of the message at all.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] khoaitaychienvn:
It looks like a great app but it's not compatible with LG G2 :(
[Sony Smartwatch 2] floallie:
Vibration intensity

Hi, firstly I love you apps !:angel:

Is there any possibility to change the vibration intensity? I think currently it's a little too strong (and too noisy). :eek:

Thx !
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fernajm:
Same for me on Note 2 with 4.3 custom ROM.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Theelichtje:
Is it possible to remove the stock notification app?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] gianzambelli:
Version 1.0.8 working fine for S4 (SGH-I337M) with 4.3.

Great app!

Suggestion: can you update the initial post with the TODO list, known bugs, etc?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TjPhysicist:
Same issue here with the latest (I think) and 4.4 Rom on nexus 5. Aside from the above, once every now and then (usually during a notification recieve) everything greys out/hangs and the watch automatically goes into powersave move WITHOUT switching back to the watch (so i see whatever app but in low power mode/with lights turned off) and the only way to get it back is to reset the watch..this is getting VERY annoying. I have to reset the watch at least 4 times a day..
[Sony Smartwatch 2] painkillerde:
The same here not showing up anywhere on my HTC one with latest ViperOne Rom.

:(

[Sony Smartwatch 2] toyface:
I have the issue with the watch showing me the loading screen before a notification, but I have had no "crashes" as you describe and I'm rocking an N5 stock. You can try clearing the data from the Smartwatch 2 app in your settings, you won't lose apps, but your watch will reset and everything seems a little snappy, apologies if that's what you meant you've been doing :)

I believe this issue to be with the watch itself, as it's hardly the best specced in the world. FWIW, not using expanded notifications seems to help for me.

Tom.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] duchian:
I have Htc One with 4.4.2 (ARHD) and it works perfect. Maybe your rom has some bug?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] gella1992:
For me although not showing up under smart connect. Tried Version 1.08 with a Sony Xperia ZL running eXistenZ v4.0.0 | Ultra Edition | 4.3 | 10.4.1.B.0.101
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Sepsis12:
Big thanks and small suggestion

Hi there,

first of all thank you for this great app, thats works perfectly fine on my Nexus 4 (CM).

I have a suggestion though. I already read that you are trying to cover the WhatsApp Group Messages problem (muting group messages or at least disabling the vibration for them).

An interim solution for that problem, as well as a cool side-feature, might be to individually assign the notification behavior (wake up, vibrate, etc.) to each application (or at least the big hitters).

So for now I could completely mute the vibration for WhatsApp but still receive the notifications, whilst getting the usual service for all other applications.

How about that?

Greeting

[Sony Smartwatch 2] hunkichunki:
Awesome app keep going!!

After trying so many apps for this watch, this is THE best one out there now, it just works.

thanks!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fr0st420:
Could someone look to see if this directory is empty on your phone. I'm trying to figure out why watchify isn't working. Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 2] samman:
Same here.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fr0st420:
Damn. Why won't this app show up for me? It's so much better than augmented.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Nomad1600:
Might help to know which phone and Android version that you are using... and whether you are rooted. I had troubles getting Watchify to work for me on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 while running a custom 4.1.2 ROM (BoneStock 3.4) but I was able to get it to work when I changed my ROM to a custom TW 4.3 ROM (CleanROM 8).

I still prefer the "stock" extensions (eg Twitter, GMail, Facebook) since they seem best at sending individual notifications to the watch; Whatchit! seems to send a group of notifications). But I do use Watchit! to send notifications from my sports scores apps (365 Sports, SportsCenter) and it works well with those.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Sepsis12:
Concerning the message and "showing up".

Watchify does not show up under the normal apps. You can find it when opening the smartwatch Menu in your smart connect app
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fr0st420:
I'm on a HTC one running insertcoin. Watchify used to work on version 1.01, after that no.

I mean it doesn't show up on the watch or in the Sony smartwatch app.

Logcat isn't showing any errors either.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] -=W1S3=-:
Man this app is just great!

Works like a charm on my Galaxy Nexus with CM11!

Hi there,

A suggestion, is it possible to add the contact picture in the notifications? Like the ones that the app Hangouts Smart Extension does?

Here's an example pic

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 2] cocoteuch:
Really great! I recommend
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
Currently I'm testing WatchIt!, WatchNotifier and Watchify.

I was wondering whether it's possible to extend the Gmail functionality of this app to show the full email. WatchIt! is the only one which can give me the full Gmail message in the notification; both WatchNotifier and Watchify will only give me sender and subject. I'd like to use just one app for all notifications :)

Also, can Watchify catch all individual notifications, e.g. every Facebook message received from a sender (all five of them, for example) instead of just the last one?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fer2503:
I've re-installed it after kitkat update in my xperia z1, but now i can't See the app in the smartphone and also in smartwatch...why?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] idle0095:
I use light flow which has support for the SW2. What is the difference using this app over lightflow?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bel57:
Can someone please upload directly the Watchify apk (and not the Play Store link)? I can't install it because my Sony Xperia SO-04E seems to be not 'compatible'... but it surely works with the apk. Thnx.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] willumpie82:
I have the same issue, app seems to be installed correctly (shows up in settings-apps and security settings) but no instance showsup in sony smartwatch app, other apps do showup in the smartwatch app

- HTC one (m7)

- Insertcoin 2.1.5 (sense 6)

- android 4.4.2
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
Here you go :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] idle0095:
I switched to this app from light flow. Why? Because it shows the icon of the app when you get a notification. Also you can set the vib to two times as well. Great work. I cant wait to see if we can get a stronger vib as well.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bel57:
Thank you bro, will give it a try :cowboy:
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mahond:
Great app!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Devtone:
Works fine on my Xperia Z on CM11. It does NOT work on stock 4.3 roms. Please fix this.. Swapp doesn't even show the app. Notification-acces is available and granted.

Anyway I can help? Need some logging?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] burakgon:
can someone please post the apk here? my device is not supported to download it.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
See post #97 in this thread.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bel57:
Doesn't work. Can't launch the apk. When I try to push it with Wondershare MobileGo I got an error which says that the SDK is obsolete and there is an object reference problem. Too bad. :(
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Bxsteez:
I've been using the app for a couple of days but it seems that the app misses some notifications and it seems random.

It also can't show the content if you have two or more of the same type of messages. For example if I get a text message and don't tend it to and then get a second the notification will just show who sent the message for both instead of the content.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
I found that too; I think that's the limitation of how these apps work, in that they intercept and on-forward any notifications received.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Bxsteez:
Its strange. How did pebble get notifications so right and Sony and Samung get them so wrong.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Grovewar:
miss many notification... fix it pls
[Sony Smartwatch 2] grzybiarz91:
I'm using Watchify for about 1.5 month and I also had problems with notification missing. But for about 2 weeks I don't turn off watch over night and in the mornings I always run Watchify on SW2. Sometimes it runs immediatly, sometimes I must click 2-3 times since "No notifications..." screen appears. No problem with notifications all day.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] figers:
works great overall, any idea why I wouldn't be getting Google Hangout notifications??
[Sony Smartwatch 2] MJFox78:
Watchify doesn't seem to work with the latest firmware update (the app is nowhere to be found, neither in smart connect nor on the smartwatch)... can anybody confirm?

[Sony Smartwatch 2] MJFox78:
I have the same problem, I can not get it to work
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ktm_91:
Almost perfect

It works perfectly with all my notifications, it just miss an integration with the system notifications counter, especially now with the firmware update (or, as alternative, a notifications counter widget to be placed in the wath face) :D
[Sony Smartwatch 2] grzybiarz91:
Yeah, integration Watchify with notification counter and with new events widget will be great. I'm waiting for that :D
[Sony Smartwatch 2] GOLDEN ZERO:
same here
[Sony Smartwatch 2] MJFox78:
weird that it seems to work for some people
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Sepsis12:
Hey,

I got a remark or suggestion for this app:

If you read messages on the watch, but do not open watchify to do so, basically don't touch the screeen, then new messages appear at the bottom if the same app receives more notificiations. I think it would be more reasonable to show the new notifications on top of the old ones instead of the other way around...

Everything else is fine. Great app!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] GOLDEN ZERO:
Yeah , You're right .

We hope that the developer updates it soon .
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
Has anyone else noticed that the Gmail extended notifications only sometimes works? Other times I only get the title.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] grzybiarz91:
Exactly. Very very rarely I can see content of mail. 31 march was last update and changelog says "Preparations for the next big update", so I hope it fix this issue, few other and add support to new events widget from last update.

Watchify is almost perfect, what I love in it is that when I clean notification in sw it also cleans on phone and vice versa. In WatchIt I must clean on sw and phone separately what is useless for me.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] suljo94:
hey guys

I am new to watchify, but since the moment I installed it I was sold. but there is always room for improvement so underneath you will find my 2 ideas.

-add option to reply to notifications with keyboard, currently I am using send sms but it is nowhere near good and only for text massages

-add a new notification behaviour only vibrate don’t wake watch. battery friendlier then wake screen and vibrate and without the vibrate I sometimes don’t notice notifications.

greatings

suljo
[Sony Smartwatch 2] jamdiggity:
I can find it on the phone under apps when I tap on the Smartwatch 2 notification - but I can't find it anywhere on the watch...

Edit - On the watch I went into settings - apps - turned off Watchify - went back to the main screen - went back into settings - apps - turned Watchify back on. Now it's on the watch screen and can be selected!

Hit thanks if this helps!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] allan1313:
I can't get this to show up on the watch. I downloaded and uninstalled a few times. Doesn't show on phone e or watch. S4 on 4.3 if it makes a difference. TIA

no idea what's wrong, maybe there's a trial period and it expired or something, a message telling me what's wrong would be nice though

Does the notificaton from BBM and or any other messenging app (Facebook, LINE, etc) also appear there? I do not have the watch yet. but if ur app already have all the notifications.. then i will really buy the watch !

Thank u.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
I've got Facebook notifications through Watchify here.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] fjordstrom:
I just bought the watch yesterday and installed "Notify SmartWatch" to get "all" notifications to my watch. Of course I disabled some apps, but you can practically get all notifications to your watch :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Charsher47:
+1 for this, otherwise, great app!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Bxsteez:
I was very hesitant to purchase this Notify Smartwatch app based on how poorly all the notification app worked, with the except of watchify. But this app works really well!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] metalcerb:
The biggest problem of watchify is the lack of option to hide notification text, watchify do not use normal notification system of sw2 and because of this everytime you receive a notification everybody can read your message.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] lexman098:
Same thing happens for me.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Devtone:

[Sony Smartwatch 2] kamikaze666:
I just wrote you an app review on the Play Store, but I thought I would write it here as well, just in case you get this one faster :D:

First of all let me tell you that this app is amazing! It's everything I wanted for my SW2. Nonetheless, there are a few things that can be enhanced to make the app truly COMPLETE:

1. The notifications should be integrated with the SW2 notification center;

2. When receiving a notification, the app opening animation bars appear, which they shouldn't (however, if you manage to integrate the app with the notification center I think they shouldn't appear anymore);

3. Extended notifications for more apps would be AWESOME!;

4. A way to quick answer notifications/messages from different apps;

5. This last one, I know it's a thing of aesthetics and I hope you won't take it personally but it would be cool if you could change the app icon on the watch :D.

I am not a developer so I won't pretend like I know what developing such an app implies, these 5 things are simply suggestions that I really think would make the app even better. Quite frankly, if at least 4 "milestones" can be achieved, I would be totally willing to pay for the app.

So keep up the good work and allons-y with the next update! I can't wait :)

Oh and btw, maybe with this new update you can find a way to add the first and second items to the app... Just a thought :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] marcusorwen:
Agree with kamikaze666, that it would be nice to have the app integrated with the standard notification dropdown. :)

Awesome app otherwise, just what i was looking for. :victory:
[Sony Smartwatch 2] AlexOB1:
I might be missing this, but is there not a way to delete a Gmail from the watch, rather than just deleting the notification? Surely a simple thing to implement? Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
Not that I've seen.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Mcoper:
Wish for customized vib for a long time

But I cannot install it!:eek:

Disappointed,I'm android 4.1.2 and the adb shows INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK
[Sony Smartwatch 2] kamikaze666:
I just got an idea. I don't know exactly how feasible it is but hear me out. When integrating with the notification center, if possible, instead of smileys, you could make it display the text version of the smiley. For example: ":)", ";)", ":D" etc. Just a thought.

Believe me, I completely understand your point of view when it comes to all the different customization options, especially the vibration number but I think that the fact that the app needs to open on the watch each time you get a notification is eating up battery. For example, I was at 80% yesterday at around 6 PM when I factory reset the watch and forgot to put the "Do not Disturb" period in the app.

After about 8 notifications over night, I was at 66% battery, a lot of which I think can be attributed to the fact that the app needs to start over and over after each notification. The main idea of a smartwatch is to have an extension of your main device but most importantly, in order to have that, you need good battery life so you can actually enjoy it over longer periods of time, before having to recharge.

And in regards to dismissing notifications on the watch and on the phone, the new SDK is out and maybe that can help.

Also, if that doesn't help, isn't there a way to make a handle of the notification on the watch so that it shows on the notification center but when accessing the notification and making changes to it to open the app itself and make all the changes through the app? With all the bells and whistles of the app?

This is not criticism, I am simply throwing ideas out there :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] heyjoe66:
Same trouble here. Installed Watchify today, but can see it only in notification access settings. Also added a shortcut to its main activity and was able to open Watchify window with all apps list, but still no affect on watch.

I flashed a new rom and the first thing I tried was to install Watchify... it didn't work

it either has a problem with kitkat 4.4.2 or with sense 6.0

I mailed the developer but I didn't get any response

It is working on my S5 with 4.4.2 but very often stops to do it %) Once 3 or 4 days I need to clear app's cache to restart receiving notifications

ok, then maybe it's an incompatibility with Sense... otherweise I'm out of ideas
[Sony Smartwatch 2] jamas79:
Any chance for Google Now support?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] tangcla:
Yes, you just need to enable Google Search in the apps for notifications.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] SAUD X:
can you make an advanced options for some of messangers application like whatsapp

I mean an option like choosing the group message and the private message which of it will make the smartwatch vibrate when get a notification

for example I have 2 groups in my Whatsapp and I wanted my smartwatch to stop vibrating on the group message and let only the private message that will make the smartwatch vibrate

another suggestion is making every single app has its own option for vibrating

Great job man and thanks for multi-language supporting :)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] danster3:
Great app! I use it all the time... A cool thing you could add is a do not disturb toggle so you you can enable it when you are using the watch...

Its a shame the developer hasn't fixed the issue with the HTC one m8 and hasn't provided an update. Using augmented now as that includes some useful widgets.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] MJFox78:
I noticed that as soon as I install Watchify no more widgets (from different apps) are installed afterwards, they just don't appear in the widget list... I have to remove everything (smart connect, the sony smartwatch app, all the apps etc.) and install everything again to make it work again (I did it twice already to find out that Watchify is the culprit)

also Watchify doesn't work for me at all (it doesn't appear in the list of apps inside the sony smartwatch app)
