Nope. This is Watchstyler. If you want to save battery, use some other widgets like UCCW or Zooper.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hackfree:
So it's normal? Do I have the latest gear firmware? I used to have mk7 but after flashing null I got this
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I threw out this exact same post in the Apps section here in the "Show us your Watchstyler Gear or whatever thread" Some others reported the same thing while others showed that their battery life was unaffected by Watchstyler and that they were easily getting 2 days plus out of a charge. I proposed in that thread that someone open a discussion about this so we could try to pinpoint why some have had success and others haven't with watchstyler - battery drain issue.

Thanks for posting this. I fall into your category exactly. With Watchstyler widget active on the Gear, I get 12 to 16 hrs battery whether I turn the gear on and off through the day to view things or not.

Without Watchstyler widget and using the built in Digital Clock/Weather one, I recently nearly got 3 full days without charge.

Would be nice to get to the bottom of this as I would enjoy some of the many nice creations by users of watchstyler themes on my gear. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hackfree:
tried a few programs like gsam battery monitor and wakelock detector. All say same thing. I get more than a thousand wakelocks on watch styler. Have tried formatting reeinstalling and playing with the governor settings. The problem is the wakelocks of the watch styler. I even tried hibernating the program with greenify however when u turn the screen on the program doesn't activate so u dont really see the correct time just a freezing time

Possible solution would be to automatically freeze or hibernate the styler once the screen is closed and when it's on automatically reactivate the app to get the correct time. By tapping on the screen or something else. Anyone up for the task?

U can clearly see the problem on the greenify pic I took. See the schedule? It is set to wakelock all the freekin time!!

I don't know about u but when I see such apps wasting my battery with silly wakes, I get mad. I don't mind charging every day but for the right reasons like tethering.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
isn't the problem with how watchstyler work itself?

once you set the clock on your phone, is it being cached on the gear? because i think every few minutes/hours phone is pushing the whole watch theme again, and again, with updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hackfree:
I don't really know how it works. But surely it's the application's fault. I am open to suggestions though.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jutley:
i found out watch styler drains too much battery life for my liking so i ditched it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hackfree:
It does indeed. If it was a small drain It wouldn't bother me especially with these cool faces
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
I believe most of the faces could be rather easily recreated in UCCW/Zooper.

That would solve the battery issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Yea, I placed the watchstyler widget on again just for kicks and lost 20% battery drain in 2hrs without even touching or turning the screen on the gear. Totally unacceptable when I can get nearly 3 days battery using the stock digitial/weather clock widget. :( I miss not being able to enjoy the many great watch face creations though. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jutley:
Beaty comes at a price it's whether or not it's worth that sacrifice.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hackfree:
The wakelocks are hilarious. At the end of the day it doesn't really worth it View attachment 2598713
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
so am i right? watch face is not really cached on gear, it has to be pushed from the phone every few minutes..

refreshing every time it has to be displayed, just like built in contacts that takes few seconds to load.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Milimbar:
So do I need to remove watch styler from the phone to get better battery life? or just dont use the widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jutley:
Remove it I did and it worked
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] recDNA:
On mine all I have to do is not use widgets. Get 3 days on weather clock. About 8 hours on any widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Same here. I've left WatchStyler on my GS4 and just replaced the widget on the gear with the weather clock and I get about 3 days.

I'm still hoping some of the enthusiasts from the watch styler thread who claim 2-3 days battery using watchstyler widget chime in to this thread with some possible fix or workaround but I can't imagine there could be any. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
i charge my phone every night along with the gear...whats the big deal about charging it? i use watchstyler widget on stock TW and usually have about 50% left after using it from about 7AM-12AM...

I need more tests to be sure, but my method seems efficient :

App Quarantine Pro on my phone, so i can have a widget to freeze WatchStyler.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] StephanSch:
I modified the NfcNci.apk of different bases and ROMs to offer you the ability to use the NFC chip of your Nexus 5 not only while you are active but also while the screen is off and/or while the lockscreen is shown.

You have three options when to use NFC:

lockscreen and screen off

lockscreen

unlocked

USAGE

Rename the attachment to NfcNci.apk

Backup your /system/app/NfcNci.apk and NfcNci.dex (if existing)

Delete /system/app/NfcNci.dex (if existing)

Replace the original in /system/app - to keep permission use adb:

adb remount

adb push NfcNci.apk /system/app

Reboot phone (adb reboot)

Disable NFC

Enable NFC

The compatibility depends on the framework/base. If your ROM has the same specifications like one existing you can use the posted.

If none of the version work (test it!) make an Feature Request

Changelog

09.03.2014 - added PURITY ROM

09.03.2014 - added SlimKat 3.0

09.03.2014 - added CM11

23.02.2014 - thread opened with stock 4.4.2

Download

Please don't forget to thank if it works, if not we will make it work.

Thanks! Question though. I would have thought one universal apk would work. Why are they different for the Roms? Isn't it straight from Google? Or does it just have to do with the way it's signed..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] StephanSch:
The main difference between the AOSP-based are the different frameworks which differ with optical changes or new menus etc. and CyanogenMOD is cooking own things.

Only stock is original Google.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rhamej:
Thanks again! I was on cataclysm for long tome and it had a feature built into the ROM to have the three options you are doing. I moved to purity and missed this feature a lot. I have NFC tags throughout my house, car and work. With this mod, I now have a perfect ROM for my needs :)

I'm having issues with recent PACrom (based on CM), but I'm not sure if it comes from the ROM or the NFC package :

Switching profiles using nfc tags does not work

Phone rings and vibrate, I get a toast notification about the new profile selected, but it stays on current profile
[Nexus 5 Android Development] StephanSch:
Sounds like NFC works well, so Mod seems not to be the problem.

Does this work with screen on?

If yes: maybe your way to change profile has a own way to check if the screen is on. How do you do that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bud77:
Nope, it doesn't work when phone is unlocked. It's obviously a rom issue, thanks for pointing that out
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gut4:
Does anyone know app that can wake up device or wake up and run app with NFC? With this mod of course.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] StephanSch:
You need root to access the system folder.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1979Sentinel:
OK, thank you for that. Would it be possible to root => push this apk => unroot? Or not smart and/or not even working? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] StephanSch:
I think it should work, but why unroot again? You have to do this with every update.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1979Sentinel:
Probably cause I am too much of a newbie, but I am little bit scared to break my phone when it is rooted. I will have a look and perhaps flip a coin if I dare to root it at all :fingers-crossed:

Danke sehr!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lodufkah:
sorry for late reply, but I see that you have your answers :)

that's true, you need root to access system folders, and by "clean stock rom" I meant "no custom rom" like CM or so.

and don't be afraid - root is your friend ;) every device I have was rooted by me immediately after unboxing and charging, and I'm not a pro also - if you'll think twice, before installing or running some apps, there's nothing to be broken, and root gives you access to some cool apps that could extra tune your phone :) I think it's worth it.

[General Marketing & SEO] edapps2014:
Greetings. My name is Glenn and I work with children and adults with disabilities. For the past few months I have been reviewing educational apps for children with autism. Sometimes a math app has great graphics and good engagement--think completing the equivalent of half a dozen math worksheets in five minutes. But the same app doesn't take into account the extreme math anxiety, and general anxiety, that children with autism can have: I have come across apps that said "Not good. The answer is ____" or "NO," in a disappointed voice that you would expect to hear from your mother if you failed a test that you hadn't bother to study for. So in addition to the review I am often providing suggested adaptations to make the app a successful experience for the child.

I have gotten a few emails from educational app developers, thanking me for reviewing their app and also telling me how difficult it has been to get a decent amount of downloads for their app after all their hard work. When I was interested in the film industry, I used to publish interviews with up and coming screenwriters, "Interview Spotlight with Peter Considine and Morgan's Way." I would like to do something similar for educational app developers and have created a "self-interview" for educational app developers. Once I receive the responses, I will publish them. I don't have 4,000,000+ readers on my site, so I can't give you that kind of exposure, but the readers on my site are looking specifically for educational apps like yours that can improve the learning experience of their children.

If you're still reading, and your answer is yes to my question, "Would you be interested in sharing with my readers a bit about who you are (an educator, parent/sibling of a child with a disability), why you decided to build the app, and what makes it special?," then you can find the submission guidelines on my site, autism plus math dot blog spot dot com. Click on the tab at the top marked, Guest Post guidelines for app developers.

Thank you.
[General Marketing & SEO] over_optimistic:
I don't fall into the category of being interviewed by you. I do have an idea for you that I would be interested in reading. A blog post or any readable describing what mistakes developers make in regards to making apps for people with disabilities and or other issues. You can include things like what not to do (a disappointment sounding/looking "No you are wrong") and what can be done instead. I guess for the app to say "please try again" but I don't know if that's good enough for people with anxiety. I would definitely read such an article, and perhaps it would come in useful sometime in the future.

Up until your post here I didn't realize that saying "no you are wrong" may not be so good with people having anxiety. In the blog post it would be also very interesting and good to include how such statements effect/affect people of such conditions.

Just thought I would bring this idea up to you :)
[General Marketing & SEO] edapps2014:
reply to q on do's and don'ts

Thanks for asking.

I think the key thing to remember is that every child with a disability is different, so what may frustrate one child may turn out to be an enjoyable challenge for another. Having said that, it can help to imagine your potential learner as someone who's spent most of their education repeatedly giving the wrong answer when called on, and as a result, they need LOTS and LOTS of positive encouragement and praise.

My comment above about "no you are wrong" is from an article I wrote a couple months ago (see below). I also provide examples of games that DO provide a positive learning environment and how they did it.

You did say that you weren't an educational apps developer, however. I think most video games are by design kid friendly, regardless of whether a child has a disability. Video games are about not having to read and memorize a bunch of rules, but instead are about playing around and trying different approaches. If you die in the game, you can hit replay and try again in five seconds or less. So the potential frustration from losing is short lived.

Where I could see a frustration is in games where if you die after completing several levels, you have to start over from the beginning. Make sure you have sufficient checkpoints so that players only have to restart from their last checkpoint. But again, this is a feature that will benefit children without disabilities as well.

Ugh! Looks like I can't give you a link to the article mentioned above, so I have moved it to my landing page: autism plus math dot blogspot dot com.

I also have a virtual filing cabinet of "How to" articles for app developers on my home page: click on the tab at the top marked "How to resources for app developers." Of particular interest, you may find useful the article on the game Re:mission, which increased the number of children with cancer who voluntarily took their meds.
[General Marketing & SEO] over_optimistic:
Thanks Edapps!

XDA still lets you post links like this by the way:

autismplusmath.blogspot.ca/2014/01/not-good-and-no-said-in-disappointed.html

I just read that article and will go through some of the games reviews you got later when I'm at home.

You have to install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod which have a theme engine, then download CM themes from the Playstore.

If you are rooted, you can also install Xposed Framework and HK Theme Manager module which can apply CM theme to stock Android, but it might run into issues and doesn't work fully sometimes so not recommended unless you are sure you can flash the system image to restore the phone incase things goes wrong.

Hi there!

I got a question:

id like to change the sound when i recieve a sms with a custom one on my o2 xda neo but when i copy a wav file to the my documents directory the file only appears in the ringtone menue for incoming calls. so my plan was to replace one of the default sound files in the windows dir wich is shown in the menue for incoming sms sound eg alarm1.wav. the problem is that those files are write protected. is the any way to get write acces to this directory? or is there an other way to change the sound for an incoming sms to a custom sound file?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
1. You can use Total Commander to overwrite the write access. It works for most of the write protected files. Not sure about the WAV.

2. You can just copy your WAV into the \Windows directory. The \Windows is not write protected. Your WAV file should shown in your SMS noti sound after you copied it into \Windows
