Hy, scuze me, but I have two questions: 1. Exist an application, when smartwatch is disconnect from the phone(or bluethooth), to work like a watch(clock)? 2. I like very much to see on the display of smartwatch, the clock with weather information. Exist an application for this? Thank you very much. Sorry for my bad English.

1.- YES
2.- NO
Smartwatch depends completly from your phone smartwatch app, if it is not paired you can't use the widgets/apps on your watch. So when it is unppaired you can see the clock working (you need the lastest firmware update to get this feature working) but there is nothing else you can do with the watch until you connect it again to your phone 'cause it is only a second display for the functions of the app, inside just are the components necessary to make the connection working to your phone and make the clock work (it need to be paired first to get it working without connection).

Thank you very much for your response :victory: I solved . Today came to me the sony smartwach, is superb and very useful, I like very much :good:. Respect for you.
About clock with weather, i think you can use AppWidgetDisplay with UCCW to achieve this function
Sorry for my bad English too. : -)
I think he means the lockscreen clock. If not, yeah appwidgetdisplay to show any weather widget not just ccw, also augmented smartwatch does it and of course he can set the default weather widget to main screen and up there is a clock.

Hi all,
Just got the SW2 today and am excited to use it. Is there a way to wake up the Smartwatch screen without pressing the center key. For example, can the screen turn on hand movement or say by tapping the screen?
I tried to search this in the forum but couldn't find any info.
Regards,
KS
Hi, since smartwatch firmware is closed and we can use watches only on application basis I am pretty sure it is not possible.

Supposedly, the SW2 has an accelerometer but I have yet to see it utilized. I had an original Sony Smartwatch for a short time, and it would turn on with the slightest movement. There was an option of turning it on by rotating your wrist while holding your forearm horizontal, but it was pretty erratic.
It kinda wish that you could set it to turn on the backlight with movement, but it's no more of a problem than hitting the button on my old digital watch to see in the dark.
It does have an accelerometer. If you leave it on the desk to charge it will switch the screen off after a while. It turns back on if you move it.

this freaked me out last night. I was playing a game and my wrist was still as a held the controller. I looked at the time and for like a tenth of a second I thought the screen was blank. Wasn't sure what happened.

At the moment there is no way to wake up the watch by a movement of the wrist as far as I know. However, if you use a custom watch face, (like custom watch for SW2, or clocki) you can wake it up via touchscreen buttons (home button for example).
I do not know if this works for you...
Thanks all for the reply. I could have use custom clock faces but I think it will consume more battery current. Hopefully Sony will make some interesting clock faces with weather integrated.
I have used SmartQ Z watch before. What I like about SW2 is amazing battery life and that I can read contents of email and whatsapp messages on the watch itself. Pretty cool!
There will be in the nearest future an big update, seen on MWC:

Article above, translated into English:
The SmartWatch 2, which came on the market in September 2013 (as reported) , was one of the first truly mature models on the market . However, it lacked some features or there were significant inconsistencies in the operation ( for our review ) . Now, however, a major update in the wings , which is to iron out any weaknesses.
We have long especially on other watches designs, so gennante Watch Faces , waiting . Now there are five of them , which partly show even quite a lot of information . This includes, among other things, the weather and a pedometer , but also the last notification received with content and the next upcoming alarm. Whether the pedometer works in the clock itself, or the information coming from the smartphone itself , we could not exist in Other improvements concern the notification system. The icon for the news has disappeared and the notification bar , which can be drawn down from above as with Android, is now finally scrollable. In addition, you can now on the clock even choose which app icons should be shown in the home screen and from which apps you want to receive notifications . The former is particularly interesting for apps which only provide notifications, but do not have to be started manually. So you get a little more order in the icon list .
Even the design of a lot has changed . The icons of the preinstalled apps , to which now also includes a simple calculator , were easily adapted . Further, it is now finally possible to change the wallpaper of the home screen . In addition , a percentage battery indicator in some of the new Watch Faces .

I wonder how reliable this source is. Especially its claim about it being discussed/shown in MWC, which I haven't seen reported on any of the mobile tech websites such as smartwatchfans and engadget, makes me suspect it's reliability. However, things being described are really nice like the watchfaces with more info including weather etc. It is very exciting nonetheless. Looking forward to such a firmware upgrade. Lets keep fingers crossed.

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.
I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.
It is a bliss on Gear 2
Check it out.

Awesome
This is a GREAT app!
Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!
SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?
Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.
I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.
You can add only one widget per device..
I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons

I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"
Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.

Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.
Here's mine so far
Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.

If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+
"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*
• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.
• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.
The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.
Thank you for your understanding, and your patience."

Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.
That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing
The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.

This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.
Thank You
That's great, Thank You.
As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.
Just setup a new S3 frontier with my iPhone 7 (I know ok!). Not my first smartwatch, by any stretch, so managing the S3 OK.
However, one thing that is bugging me is the Accuweather app.
For my location in the UK, everything appears correct, apart from *every* weather icon is set to sunny, even when the 'text forecast' is cloudy.
Anyone else had this?

I'm also in the UK, but using a Galaxy S7 not an iPhone.
By Accuweather, I assume you mean the Weather app on the Gear S3 itself?
If so, mine is fine (even if the weather isn't!):

thanks Zippy.
Yes, I was referring to the built-in Weather app (with data provided by AW).
So this morning I factory reset & tried the watch 'standalone' without a connection to phone. The Weather updated correctly with the right icons.
I then reset again & set it up with my iPhone & its still displaying the correct weather icons. Go figure

My main gripe at the moment is that the hardware is nice, the software seems a bit ropey.
My Apple Watch just works (ok, still with an iPhone) & I'm more inclined to cut people like Pebble (RIP) a bit more slack. Samsung, not so much..

Since an Apple watch paired with a Samsung phone doesn't work at all, I'd say Samsung is doing pretty good having its watch work with an iPhone... If you want the seamless integration of an Apple Watch-iPhone combination, then get a Samsung phone.
Hi all, i saw the app 'Smart wear whatsapp' but sadly the developers does not support it anymore and he removed the download links. I'm searching for an app like that, so that i can send and play whatsapp audio messages. Does it exists?

Hello Adas
How did you change the dpi?
I was able to install the .apk but it failed on the registration, because I was not able to reduce screen size an push "continue" button.

Hi. I have used ADB and I found some commands online how to change DPI in android system and I worked.
No joy of sending voice messages as voice/send button is on the edge of screen and it is obscured by the roundness of the screen. I wish there was a way to force screen to be a square - some full android smartwatch phones has it.

:good: THX Adas for your feedback. Okey in this case it makes no sense that I'm trying also.
it's a pitty, because as standalone solution (without connection to mobile) would be a good option... with the messenger over bluetooth mobile what'sapp it's running okey.
yes, forcing the screen to be a square or have at least the option to move around the screen would be great. (do anybody knows if there is a Whats'app wear (specific for watches) in planing)
another option would be, if the integrated messenger would take this functionality so that the whatsapp is not needed for standalone use.
Hello,
with this widget you can by one click connect/disconnect your Bluetooth audio device and automatically open other App (like music player) without going into the settings menu. The App supports A2DP, HFP profile, device like portable speakers, sound bars, headphones etc.. On widget you can see connected profiles and battery status (req. Android 8.1). Widgets are fully customizable.
The App support Quick settings tile and notifications for quick selection active device.
I would be grateful for any feedbacks.

New update 3.2.8 brings battery level for each earbuds.
Hi, new update rolling out now. It brings bottom sheet menu for control Bluetooth profiles and selecting active device. For showing this menu please enable enhanced widget mode.
Hi,
new update 4.2.2 rolling out now. Update brings new features such as dynamic colors for widgets.
It requires min. Android 12. Probably not all launchers support this function, so I will be glad for your feedback.
Have a nice day

Hi,
new update 4.4.1 rolling out now.
You can pin more Widgets for one device. It's desirable function of all Samsung Fold and other multi display phones users.
Have a nice day!
Tom
Hey, I don't suppose a feature for just showing battery levels is possible? Or is there something already out there?
Something like the native wearables app where it shows battery for the case and the left right buds but without the extra buttons for noise control, touch control and 360 audio?
Attached images are edited to show what I mean and give ideas.
Thanks.
