[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
Hi everyone,

Coming from a xiaomi Mi band I had high expectations for the Sony watch's ability for fitness & activity tracking (steps, calories, distance, time, sleep). However, it has become clear that there seems to be no all-in-one solution available (yet). Since fitness & activity tracking for me is important purpose of this watch I decided to share my experiences with you and hope you will share yours with me. I will try and keep my experiences updated with the latest developments.

All-in-one

Currently there seem to be no apps availabe that are able to track activities, sporting sessions and sleep.

Sleep

Currently the only available working sleep tracker for the Smartwatch 3 seems to be Sleep as Android.

+ Tracks light sleep, deep sleep and time awake

+ Option to rate your sleep and use hashtags to add information like whether you drank alcohol, etc.

+ Detects snoring and wakes with vibration

- No automatic registration, needs to be manually started and stopped

- Heavy on battery, +/-25% per night

- Paid app

Update 24 september: somehow jawbone up seems to have a global way of sleeptracking. It will ask you every dat to conform your sleeping hours, which it seems to do pretty accurate. However no detailed sleep statistics. :(

Steps & activities

* Jawbone up

+ very nice interface & overview

+ converts steps into time and distance

- no sleep tracking

* Google Fit

- less nice design than jawbone

- inaccurate synchronisation of steps

- no conversion to time & distance

* Lifelog

+ very extensive tracking, not only fitness but also social activities, listening music, etc.

- cluttered design

- drains smartphone battery

- sleep tracking doesn't work for SWR50

Running with android wear & GPS integration

Endomondo

+ great interface

+ shows small map on watch

+ shows signal of GPS strength, does very accurate gps tracking

+ customizable views

- type of activity has to be set on smartphone

Runkeeper

+ simple interface

- Doesn't show GPS strength

- Type of activity has to be set on Phone

- Synchronisation of session time with Runkeeper Phone app is bugged (See update)

Ghostracer

+ simple interface

+ shows GPS strenght

+ interfaces with Runkeeper and/or Strava

+ activity type can be set on watch, but limited to running and cycling.

- Synchronisation of session time with Runkeeper Phone app is bugged (See update)

Update 24 september: I figured out that the differences in session times were caused by different algorithms/setting for auto pausing. So turning autopause off will fix the 'problem'.

My apps of preference are currently: Jawbone Up, Sleep as Android and ghostracer (syncing to runkeeper and strava).

I'm looking forward to reading your experiences with fitness apps on the Sony Smartwatch 3 and any additions to the app list are ofcourse very welcome!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
I have been using fit and sleep as android. The latter does have wake detection but does not turn on and off automatically. To get that, you need to use tasker, but I have not wanted to do much with that because I have been working with my battery life.

I have noticed that sleep as android uses about 20-40% of my battery power.

I am on the latest update with tilt to wake on (but I sleep in theatre mode, the snorting detection still works well with that on), but WiFi on. As of now, I am using the stock kernel.

With all of that, I am getting about 30 hours of battery life.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andyrtr:
Try also Sony Lifelog App. But GFit and LifeLog often fail to properly detect your activities.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Check out the UP app by jawbone. Works pretty well.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
Updated the topic start with my experiences so far.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pietropizzi:
Thank your for your detailed report !

I tried Jawbone Up and tracked my steps, but they differ from watch to phone. Can you please compare and tell me if they are the same ?

example today:

SW3: 4039 steps (40%)

Phone: 7341 steps (73%)

It seems like the phone tracks the steps itself but I disabled tracking at the first start of the jawbone app, so it should not track, only the watch should....

Please check it, thank you !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
Hi Pietropizzi,

I compared my steps in the smartwatch with the jawbone app and they matched 1:1. Do you have the up app with the purple icon?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pietropizzi:
Yes I do, I paired my watch at the first start and disabled steps tracking on the phone app. Thats strange....

edit : I rechecked the setting and saw that the motion sensor of the phone was activated. I disabled it now and will recheck the correct sync tomorrow !

Thanks for checking!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RolandCruise:
I disabled Google fit and am now using Jawbone Up for steps counting as you suggested. It's working very well and it seems very accurate at the moment.

I connected my new jawbone account with MyFitnessPal to sync burned calories disabling my Withings pulse Ox activity tracker sync.

I am using Sleep as Android for sleep tracking too and have prepared music, bluetooth headset and the Adidas X_cell heart rate band to work with Ghostracer.

The only thing missing is my first "smartphoneless" run :D

Thank you for sharing your experience ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
Do you pair ghostracer with strava or runkeeper? In my experience synchronisation with runkeeper is buggy... Curious if it works well with strava.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RolandCruise:
I just made a 30 secs try at home and it uploaded to runkeeper without any problems. I hope I can try everything tomorrow during a run and then upload of the right amount of data. I'll report back here ;)

[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
I figured out why the synchronisation was off. It was due to the way different running apps, such as ghostracer, runkeeper and strava deal with auto-pause. They all seem to use different algorithms explaining the differences. If you leave auto pause off in all maps than synchronisation from ghostracer to runkeeper/strava matches 100%. Problem solved!

Also a little update on jawbone up. It does seem to have some way of sleep tracking. Every dat it ask me to conform if I slept from x to y hours and mostly its pretty accurate. However no detailed sleep analysis. So sleep as Android is still required.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stevetheb:
My experiences.

I'm using UP by Jawbone as my Fitbit replacement. I'm using Ghostracer on my watch to record runs, which is does using the onboard GPS, I have some concerns about its accuracy however. I run a 5k parkrun every Saturday, which for months my Garmin watch has recorded at 4.8 kms long, my watch Runkeeper tells me it's 5.2 kms! I tried Endomondo on the watch, but it seems to keep ending my run without my pressing any button!

I upload run data to Strava, which works well.

If you have a load of friends who compete against each other using Fitbit etc - then matchup (a website) allows you (And users of other fitness bands) to compete against each other.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cool-jet:
Ghostracer works the best for me out of all the apps for running and it exports to runkeeper which is cool.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cifrasoft:
I use SW3 and upload all my ghostracer tracks to stravia. So far, it works flawlessly.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Dark$tar:
Matter-of-factly, FITSO (A new fitness app) is pretty decent for fitness activities. It has all the basic as well as premium features of Strava, Runkeeper, Runtastic etc in its free version (doesn't have a paid version yet).

I think you guys should give it a try. Here's the link for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jogo.play

iOS users can search on their own :P
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Onkel Per:
I only use the watch for tracking my running with Endomondo.

I have been using Endomondo since late 2012. Until Nov. 2015 on my phone and then on the watch. It has so fare been working flawless, and actuality the GPS tracking seem to be more accurate on the watch than on the phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] JavaGP:
Also...

Runkeeper:

* does not show heart rate stats on AW

* does not allow customization of AW display

Ghostracer:

* displays heart rate stats on AW display

* allows customization of AW display
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sapiora:
I also have noticed that there is big difference of the running reading with the watch and the phone. For example, I ran 2km. on my phone (using Nike running app), and on my phone it was 1.65km. I don't know which device to trust. But your opinions here are great and helpful.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Minni:
Looking for a simple app to watch heartbeat?

Using a bluetooth brest strap like Polar H7?

An alert if the heart rate is too slow or too fast is usefull and necessary?

Works standalone?

[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
How can I use watch steps counter, instead of phone in Google Fit?

If Google Fit activated only on watch- it uses watch steps counter. But in this case- no synchronization possible. Results visible only on watch.

If Google Fit activated on watch & phone- it uses only phone steps counter...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
Disable acitivity detect on phone Google Fit App. it will use and sync only watch steps count.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sapiora:
I have one problem with Endomondo. It says that it can track all the activities without the need of the phone, only the watch is enough. Though when I install the app on my phone/watch and when I enable GPS on the watch from the phone application and then enable the GPS on the watch, the app on the watch still stays "GPS disabled". Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Which application to use for only steps counting instead Google Fit?

Fit drains watch battery a lot.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
I made an Watchmaker face with one step counter that I use when I want count my steps for a walk or a run. Just count and view, no save. Fit still count and record activity in background.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desarenezitic:
I am using the Jawbone UP app to count my steps (Purple app in Playstore). Just set Android Wear watch as my step source and I find it to be more accurate than Fit, especially after a long walk or run.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Thanks. And how about battery drain compared to Google Fit?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desarenezitic:
To be honest I have Fit running as well and don't find any severe battery drain, I have location off unless I'm running.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Onkel Per:
Be sure to change the settings in Endomondo to use the watch GPS

Endomondo→≡→Settings→Smartwatches→Android Wear→GPS→Smartwatch
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Is there any way to connect steps counting from sw3 to samsung s health?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] markgranto:
I've got the wahoo tickr x and found a very useful watch face that will show you heart rate via the strap and show you progress and zones, pretty useful. I dont use this as my normal watch face, only use it while at the gym, as it seems to drian the battery, or maybe the fact the strap is connected is doing that.

Easy to set up and you connect to the strap from within the app on your watch.

When I am talking on the phone to another person, they claim they cannot hear me. My phone does work when it's in speakerphone, though. I read somewhere that disabling "Ok Google" should fix the problem, but it didn't for me. Any other suggestions?

Russian keys

Hello.

I've just installed enhanced keys within the mimicry rom, and missing a letter " э " getting " : " typed instead.

Is it possible to remap that to fn+key?

also fn " ю " is printed as " ; " instead of " ' " on my keyb

and the " ` " key is supposed to change language or just act like shift+space.

Tried to remap that with Rukeyboard mod, but no use, your mappings lay over anyway.

Could you help? Or just tell me what to change and where should i put that)

Thanks.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeshi:
Hi,

First off all I've been searching around the forums and find masses of information which is amazing.. But that also confuses me.

I came here because I have a stock HTC One M7 which is a mini (hope im in the correct section).

Basically I buy my phones outright for cash, and use the remaining money on sim only contract deals which saves me a bit of money..

So I've had this phone for going on 2 years.. its been fine and loved it at first.. but lately i'd say over the past 6 months the phone has gone extremely slow.. when I mean slow it can take 1 to 2 minutes to load apps then the same again for it to update information within that app.. If someone says take a picture I say not being funny but it would take 5 minutes for this phone to take the picture and the moment is lost..

Thing is I was planning on keeping this phone till 2016.. but at this rate id rather just wait till I get home to use the net.. im seriously tempted to dump it..

But as a last resort I read on google that the rom can be changed? but ive never done this and wouldn't know which rom would be best to get this phone back to how it was! I don't care for looks I just want speed.. if it had to be a google phone then so be it..

So my question is what rom would someone recommend to a newbie to the scene?? I don't want to scrimp because im a new so would like the best I can get ??

Please get in touch!

Again sorry if this isn't in the correct section.

If it was fine after a factory reset and slowed down after a few days, its probably cause by one (or more) app installed after the reset.

I am trying to run the SD Card boot-loader with no sucess.

I have put the ******.nbh file on the root of an empty 1Gb MicroSD card, put it in the device, held down the Speech Button and switched the device on.

It very briefly says on the screen 'reading SD Card' (or something like that) then goes to the RGB screen. It does not attempt to run anything from the SD card no matter what I try.

Am I doing something wrong, or are there issues with SD cards over a certain capacity. I have tried formatting the card as both FAT, and FAT 32.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] -flow84-:
Hi,

you have to format your sd-card with an cardreader and your windows pc! please use as filesystem fat32, after the formatingprocess copy the *.nbh file on your sd-card. then insert the card in your device and enter the bootloader.

thats all, enjoy and have fun ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] MaskedMarauder:
Tried that and can not get it to work. Will try again though. Any particular block size when I format?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] -flow84-:
use standard blocksize, and you must use the correct filename for the *.nbh file!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] step0011:
also, has to be the correct image, not all nbh files will load off SD card

Guys, just get the device into BOOTLOADER. Connect to PC (WindowsXP) then run the O2 UpdateROMUtility.exe file. The device should flash and after 10mins or so you should have your device back.

I bricked my phone and did this. Got it back working no problems. After it works again, get it unlocked. Saves any bother in the future. www.imei-check.org
