New strap

Colored notification LEDs

Smart Lock support for Lollipop

Standalone app (no need to use lifelog to measure steps etc.)

Google fit support

Quiet mode (Night mode replacement, probably you won't need to set when you sleep - it should track this without any interaction - for example during after-dinner sleep - still needs testing)
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] esps:
where do you bought it? any web site to do it?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I actually made this thread, because I guess I'm one of the first to get this device. I had huge trouble finding it - even ebay doesn't sell it.

When suddenly I looked at the local auction website "Allegro" in Poland and noticed that the official Sony re-seller called "M-point" has them in stock.

Link to the auction: http://allegro.pl/sony-swr12-smartband-2-czarny-i5653196214.html

Link to the reseller website: http://www.sklep.m-point.pl/4650-Sony-SWR12-SmartBand-2-czarny.html

No idea, if the shop ships internationally.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
Just tested and indeed you don't need to use night mode to track your sleep - all is done automatically. That's superb!
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
It takes about 25 seconds to measure the pulse rate - lets call this a "cold start". After this period it measures in real time.

So take this into account, if you want just to check manually for your PR from time to time you'll need to wait a few seconds for the test to complete. This also applies to SWR12 STAMINA-mode.

Battery

Could you make a test of how long the battery lasts when you permanently measure your heart rate. This would be interesting for me, because the main point I'm interested in is to have a 24h measurement of my heart rate - awake and asleep.

Thx
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
The heart rate is measured every 10 minutes by default. That way it should last for 2 days.

With Heart activity mode enabled (measures the heart rate more often than 10 minutes (every 5 minutes?) it should last for 10 hours.

Which mode would you like me to test? Also, I'm getting quite much notifications during the day, this could lessen the battery life.

EDIT: I was heavy testing the device yesterday, updating it's firmware, pairing with different devices, measuring heart rate in activity mode for some time etc and the battery lasted for about 28h. I did not use the STAMINA mode at all.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] elToro_:
I would be interested in "heart rate in activity mode always on". I understand that in this mode the heart rate is measured permanently and not "only" every 10 minutes (which actually should be sufficent for most use cases).
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
It's definitely not a constant measure in "heart rate in activity mode always on", because if I peek under the smartband 2 during this mode - it's not always emitting the green light (required to measure the pulse). So it's more often, but still not always on. The heart rate monitoring is only always on (permanent), if you keep the SWR12 app open (and keep the smartphone screen on). That's from my observation.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
Difference between normal mode (2 days battery life) and activity mode (10 h battery life)

This diagram was recorded during 16h of usage (14h normal mode - 2h activity mode).
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I just fully charged my SWR12. You're right after all. I'm now peeking under the core every few minutes and the green light is always flashing. So yes, in activity mode the pulse is measured in real time. Sorry for my last reply, I made a mistake ;)
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] elToro_:
Thx for your investigation. So with "always on" the smartband will not last for a whole day. But with "nomal mode" you are able to cover a whole day and maybe a second day.

So using "normal mode" and "always on" for sports and charging the smartband every day in the evening would be a way to go if you are really interested in your heart rate.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I just finished testing the always on mode and I got exactly 12 h and 35 minutes of battery life. It might get even better after a few charge/discharge cycles.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] elToro_:
So if I would plan to do an Iron Man challenge, I would need to hurry up ;)

Just kidding.

Thank you very much for your test and your answers. I just saw that the Smartband is now available on amazon.de and I'm going to buy one now :good:
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I found something interesting: actually I didn't fully charge my band... Because the green LED indicates that the SWR12 is charged over 90%, so to fully charge I had to charge it for a qouple minutes longer... :sly:
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Carcara:
Hi there. When you are using the continuous hr (always on), the only way to check your hr is checking the phone? I would like to use the band to practice sports but I would not be able to check the phone screen.

I know the band doesn't have a display (like fitbit charge hr). But if it was possible to check at least the zone you are (by the color of the led blinking for example) it would be OK to me.

Can tou test if it's possible to check your zone just looking to the band please?

Thanks very much!
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
There is no such option unfortunately. You could ask Sony to implement this.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] maxLufter:
Couple of thoughts after 24h of use:

-first impression: its about 1,3 times thicker than swr10, which is partly explained by HR sensor

-wrist band consists of some weird smooth plastic which greatly collects dirt, swr10 was better in that way

-vibration feels different, first impression is that it's weaker and less sensible

-you need to wear it higher on your hand for correct HR measurements

-when you don't move actively with your hand it recognises it as a sleep which is really weird - really big dissappointment about the software (they're now have HR sensor - why don't they count your pulse when making a decision about whether you sleep or not?!)

-overall Lifelog is still the same unperfect ( biking is recognised as car driving even when my heart beats at 140bpm) - they got this crap going for some time, and still couldn't manage obvious issues

-battery drains faster

Other than that not much difference
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
Yup, the HR sensor is the cause. Other than that - same size.

Had this same impression, however after a week of usage I actually find the new band cleaner in terms of everyday usage.

Same here. Maybe because the device is heavier?

Never had this issue. For me sleep recognition works way better than SWR10. Seems to be a matter of habit and overall a personal thing.

Agree 100%

If you use the HR, for sure. Did you test it in STAMINA mode? The SWR12 has a bit bigger battery or not? Hard to say.

Hi guys. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or been asked before.

I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and rooted it. No problems.

But, when trying to start the app "T-We See" (not allowed to post links yet) from my cable company to watch TV on the tab I get your device is not secure error when launching it.

I called them and they say this app is not working on rooted devices. I have no knowledge of writing apps, but is this a check that can be easily removed? First time I met an app which denies me because I have root.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Iolaum:
Hello everyone!

I recently rooted my i9300 and installed CM11. Now I am wondering on which would be the best options for cyber protection?

Do I need an AV? I used AVG + AVG cleaner while on stock rom but I m reading it's not that good on rooted phones (many false positives etc).

Do you guys have suggestions for replacements for anti virus software?

Also are there any suggestions for replacements on memory cleaner software?

Also I read about Adaway. One of the best arguments for it is that all attack methods on your phone over advertising traffic are null (assuming i got it right).

cheers,

Iolaum
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mulperi:
Try afwall+ firewall to keep apps that don't need internet from foning home. Adaway is good, modifies hosts file so it will work with a lot of applications. Also try firefox browser with uBlock addon. Personally I trust the f-droid repository more than play store.

Hi all, I have a bunch o' question for you guys: are there any custom roms for F460 variants? Is changing to custom one worth it or stock rom is enough for mediocre usage (no gaming, some music, mainly Facebook and Messenger)? Does lowering resolution to 1080 or sth have an impact on performance and/or battery life? Sorry if these questions have been answered before, I am planning to buy a G3 but I don't know which one to choose, F460 or D855 32GB, is there a noticeable performance leap between those two?

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a Nexus 6, the new unlocked with a 2 year warranty, EU version but I need your opinion worth whether to buy or wait for new models of Nexus, and if you can tell me, is it a good phone or buy other models as note 5 or S6 edge+, for now I use nexus 5 for two years and I'm very satisfied
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Don't let anyone tell you to wait for the new nexus, because when that phone comes, then it will be wait for the next new one. Waiting is pointless, there's always gonna be something better shortly after.

As for the Samsungs, I hate them personally. The hardware is nice, the software is junk. Yes, even the newer touchwiz is crap. Nothing beats stock Android. NOTHING!

Staying with the nexus phones your on a safe path of constant fast updates first.

The Nexus 6 is one hell of a good phone and I guarantee that you won't notice any performance difference between this and the new nexus phones. Yipee higher scores on antutu maybe, but that's complete crap.

If you are interested in a large phone. Get that N6. Period.

Ok people. The Wiki hasn't been updated and we can't be too harsh on people looking for answers. Here is a beautiful tool that via collaboration will encompass a large part of the knowledge we all have.

Let's get together and get it updated. We don't want the Athena wiki, the wiki for the most expensive and versatile and powerful device, to look like crap or empty. Doesn't make members of the Athena group look too organized and I personally don't like that.

This said, we need to start moving forward. There is too much knowledge to not capture it in a central place and share it with others. We should get on this now.

I know we all have jobs and other obligations so it's best if we work in shifts. We're going to need to coordinate the effort and work with moderators, etc.

Once the Wiki is updated, we'll refer newbies there first, then ask them to learn to search then try to help if all else fails. We need to combine our efforts and strengths and stop looking like a bunch of unorganized chimps.

Who's in? What moderator will lead? We really need to tidy up our house people. It's a mess.

PS: I would like to get this all done before I get my HTC Shift people! :D

http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/winlink-ownice-android-head-unit-4-4-2-t2899282

I have some issues with the original rom. I want to include root and change some apps.

I also want to change device identification.

I have an mountable image of the system partition. I was able to use the supersu update.zip and integrate it by hand.

Root is working fine :)

Now I wanted to integrate google play updates:

com.android.vending.apk

com.google.android.gms.apk

Therefore I placed a copy in system/app/

The problem is the updates are ignored. In the same folder is an app GmsCore.apk

Do they interfear? How do I have the apps to include the updates?

How can I proceed? I'm beginner and don't know where to continue.

The next issue I have is I can't install navigon app because it's not compatible with my device.

I can use "market helper" and set it to Tablet, Nexus 7, Asus, Germany, Vodafone. With this settings I can install the navigon app.

Now my idea was to change build.prop and change:

ro.product.model

ro.product.manufacturer

ro.product.local.region

Unfortunatly this doesn't help. The app is still market as not compatible.

How can I find the reason?

Thank you very much.
