I spent the last few days tracking this down and thought I would save some of us time. Here is the Sirius XM app.
Enjoy
Love you! Xd
do i have to be subscriber
You can sign up for a trial to use if you are not a subscriber.
I have had XM for 2 years and cannot live without O and A.
It's a great service and I love the app.

yep. and the app use is an extra fee on top of the monthly charge...
you culd always have them send you the app...

sweet.. thanks for the heads up on this.. for some reason I didn't think there was an app.. make good use of my subscription.
Works 50% of the time, but when it does it's fantastic. Other 50% of the time it says Service is Down.
I love Sirius service, but what a ****ty app. First, the sound quality goes in and out, next it has an Inactivity timeout of something like 2 hours...so if your like me and you sit there listening at work you have to click the 'restart' button 3-4 times in a day. I know why they do it with Internet Users, but there needs to be a better (longer) timeout for the App. THE WORST part is that if you get a call while it's running, it won't stop...it plays throughout your call. A very poor 1.0 release. Be warned, I bought a Stiletto2 thinking it would be a great Sirius device (and it is for the most part), but they NEVER update the software or add features. I doubt we will ever see a 1.1 version of the Sirius App....I love the concept of Sirius, but they really don't give a **** about their customers.
couple improvements I'm hoping for is a widget with the app. Also dvr functions pause/rewind/ff. Also recording would be great... they are allowing timeshifting with the Skydock now also caching with the Slacker app.. so maybe..
All good ones. I hope they beef up the buffer a little otherwise loving it

Only if you are not signed up for internet listening. If you are solely an internet subscriber, it doesn't.
If you want howard stern, use droid live or xiialive
Thanks for the link. Anyone else have a problem with no icon or anything being created for this app? To open it I had to go into Astro and launch it from there..couldn't find it in the app drawer or if you try to add an icon to the home screen there's no option for it.

Is it possible to stream any Sirius / XM station (of course with valid account credentials) using xiialive?

I die find the icon. It's called "online " for some reason.
The icon is called Online. I keep losing it because I keep looking for SiriusXM.

Just spent 30mins trawling the market for an app that records your talking in your sleep.
Found a few but with crap reviews.
Just want a recorder that switches on if it hears a noise, then closes off after a given period of time.
Anyone know of such an app?
Cheers

Should not have been so hasty...

Still, if you know of any others, please let me know.
Sleep as an Droid does this, quite successfully, although it's main purpose is sleep tracking and it's not free ($1.5).
Haha what a cooL idea i will test it this night

Had a look at this myself but got frightened off after reading some of the services that are accessed after installation:-
Services that cost you money
Directly call phone numbers
Send SMS messages

Yeah, it gives you the option to send recordings via email and also alert of events via SMS or phone call. - Not that I'm gonna use any of that.
I did use it last night and it seems OK, but just been looking at Sleep as a Droid as recommended above and it looks great. Don't mind paying for a decent app

Hi everyone.
To keep the Smartwatch Impressions Thread clean of bug-reports for my Apps i wanted to provide a own thread for them.
I just started developing for Android and the Sony Smartwatch because i missed so many functionality on my Smartwatch and the apps where missing in the market.
Some of them are done after people asked they want a app like that. For example the GPS Maps apps and the whatsapp notifier.
So if you miss some app for your smartwatch i might look at it to make it.
So here they are:
the Mail notifier (1.0.2.3):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.imapnotification
is using the javamail library for android. So there might be some bugs in it from me and from the library.
GPS Maps (1.0 Beta):
using OpenStreetMap: http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap.apk
Does show a Map on your smartwatch with your position with the GPS-Data of your Phone
Google Maps App (currently v1.0.9.1) in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
Calendar Events (1.0.0):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.calendarevents
shows the current/future event of your default calendar and you can swipe to the left/right to see the next or previous Event with time and description.
WhatsApp notifier (2.1 Beta):
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk
shows a notification from the WhatsApp application when it is installed and running with notifications enabled. (still buggy as it looks.)
Calculator (1.0.0.4):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.quickcalc.
Calculator for the smartwatch.
Thanks for all your reportings and ideas and i hope we can continue in this thread.
Great
Kudos for the thread
will continue to support ur app and report my findings
Sorry to trouble u again but could you fixed the Call log Smart Extras™ since it doesnt support ICS thanks again
TIPS: Whatsapp notifier
- If stop giving notification please disable & enable it back on the phone, also opening the app on the phone trough the watch might prevent it to notify again.
Disable & enable it back again
Thanks for your hard work!
Regarding the mail app, the "action toast button" doesn't do anything.
Also if i put my phone in airplane mode at night i get a flood of "failed to connect to server" messages. Would be sweet just to have one error which clears after the connection returns if possible.
Whatsapp notifier, don't use the open on phone option for now as it will stop alerting on new messages.
Seems as though something else stops it notifying time to time but don't know what triggers it. Disabling and enabling app fixes it.
If received two messages and both have been unread, will show an alert saying "2 new messages"rather than the actual messages. Customnotifier does the same thing so there may not be a workaround.
I'm here to continue testing at your will. Your apps will be great to end up on the market.
Cheers

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nwatch&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It’s the app I used to use to sync with my outstanding MBW-150. It would capture all notifications brilliantly, maybe the code is re-usable.
Just thinking out loud… thanks and regards
Second that

The GPS google map size
Good morning beowulf, thanks again for the multitude of apps, one question, the GPS google map seems too enlarged on my smartwatch to the point that i almost cannot see the blue triangle which i assume is my location, is there a way to zoom out? thanks

The light version works with the smartwatch as well. I use it all the time. Really slick.
Hi beowulf,
The gps maps app does not work on my sgs2. It only shows a white screen. I only saw the map once for a short moment.
Hi. The loading sometimes takes a bit long.
But you can try the new version of it which will hopefully soon be available from the google market.
It is uploaded and published so look out for it. But i will hint to it as soon as i see it in the market. (I hope i am allowed to post links to my apps in the market)
It will have some new features you will hopefully like.
(You will need to remove the old version manually though)
//edit: ok. Finaly my first app in the android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
I think i already found a bug though. It seems as soon as the app is closed and reopened on the watch that there is stil a old picture flickering. Will look at this. I would be happy if you continue to test and report bugs and ideas.
Just downloaded it from the Play Store!
Still not working though. Even the gps does not stop after closing the app.
Congratulations Beowulf6!
Thank you very much for your work.
hi Wop2k,
yes. was the same cause of my problem with the flashing screen.
i hope i finaly fixed it. I already updated the app in the market and i hope it works now for you now without a white screen.
if it is still not working i would like to know your android version.
Thanks.
beowulf6

Hi,
I'm running SKYICS 4.2E last update and would like to know how to listen to a web radio via browser and do anything else on my phone..... like I could do when listening to my mp3 player.
I've used the search button.... looked in few forums and still don't know how to do this...
Thanks,
Punky.

What about using a radio app like TuneIn? That runs in the background pretty well and has a great selection of radio stations. There are others as well, in the android market. The apps tend to be a bit more stable than running radio through the browser.
Thanks for your suggestion but my local radio station could not be reached without the browser...
For my needs, listening to radio via the web browser is just fine and stable.
On my laptop at work running vista, I could listen to it via the browser and do anything else without any problem.... Same thing at home on my other laptop which is running Ubuntu..... and that since at least 5-6 years...
Is it because Android is not able to do real multitasking or am I missing something ?
Punky.
If you are running ics then u should be able to open the web browser and turn on ur music then hold the home button and go back to what u want to work on. Thats how it works on mine

It does not work like this on my telephone........
If I'm listening to my things on the web browser and hold the home button, it brings me the list of applications.....
As soon I choose another application.... no more sound !
Same thing with the Youtube application. Could not 'listen' to the content and do anything else.

I am not sure about the radio station you are referencing, but the ones I listen to through internet browsers use flash applets, which typically do not run in the background. Android does "multi-task" for most things, but flash is not designed to work in the background on Android. (For one thing, it is pretty resource-intensive) Have you tried alternate browsers (like opera or dolphin)? Sometimes the alternate browsers do better with flash.
YouTube, to my knowledge, has never worked in the background.
Thanks for the infos !
Did not know flash could not be run in background and more surprised and disappointed that windows could handle this better than Android !
I've tried with Dophin and Opera and got the same result.
For youtube.... don't understand why it's the same.
Isn't it supposed to be the OS which should take care of the multitasking ?
Punky.
Just found a hint on how to run Flash web page in background.

Or you might try IHeartRadio and see if your channel is on there. Most of my locals are and it will use the GPS sensor to detect your region and display your local channels available for streaming.

Hi guys
sorry but I cannot find an alarm on that watch without having my phone linked to the Gear 2??? This is surprizing for a watch...
Is there a point that I missed here? Sleep genius alarm does not work so I was expecting to see a default alarm app already installed on the watch.
Thanksssssssssssssss
I suspect there might be one if you could download it from the Samsung App store (But other devices can't use that) so the best we got is the Timer app
