No. I read some quote the other day from a developer of one of the apps (can't remember which) and he said Sony hasn't given access to this, so ATM they can't make apps that show this. Sony has to grant that "permission" first.

I'll like it too!
That will be so simple, please add this feature!!

Not so simple I suspect.
Since the app code is running on the phone, and only displaying on the watch, it has no idea what the battery voltage on the watch is. It can easily see things on the phone though.

But the watch shows the % for example in low battery warning (15% or 10%). Just show it continuously on the bar

[Q] Simple Battery-Indicator.xap

Welcome together,
would be great if a devloper a simple "Battery-Level-Indicator.xap" (%) could make.
Is it possible or not?
I am also looking for a way to prevent the battery charging when my device is connected to USB.
There exists a possibility?
Thanks for all suggestions.

Oke i can take a look once i have some projects done and im not sure if i can just use fiinix code so you should ask him first if we can use it (its fine i think). What do you have in mind as the design?
Note: Its not possible to make a live tile for the battery so dont expect this.

Good question.
Preferably the top right of the original battery indicator in%.
- Joking aside, it may be a simple page with the current battery level indicator in%.
E.g. if you click on the app icon will open a new page and immediately see how much% of the battery still has.
In any case I thank you for your help.
PS: Had "fiinix" with the request sent a PM.

Precisely a simple app that would show in a percentage how much battery life is left would be perfect. Nothing fancy is really necessary. A good example would be one of those windows gadgets for notebooks that shows the battery a gauge on the battery and then a percentage out to the right or even on the battery.
If this gets made I will only be lacking one more app and my phone will be perfect.

Exactly what I was looking for and missing.
Thank you very much.
A small problem I have now:
I also installing the "PhoneRestartApp" with the "fiinix code" on the device.
Now with the installation of the "BatteryTool" (also called "fiinix code") uninstalled the "PhoneRestartApp" automatic.
Conversely, it is the same problem.
Both apps at the same time on the device does not work.
If it is possible to fix this, I would be very happy, thank you very much.

Open up the xap and change the name and app title. The xap is like a zip and you can write a different title in the wmappmanifest.xml file. There is something written like fiinix code change this to fiinix code 1 f/e

?????? Thanks, but do not understand what you mean
Till now, I loose 2h for nothing for the same result like befor.
And jes, I write the name to an other name.
Both apps at the same time on the device does not work!
I like to write again, I can not program and do not understand the M$ crap.
So please, can someone write the Battery-Meter so that both the Battery-Meter, like the PhoneRestartApp at the same time on the device and remains so.
Thank you.
Fixed
Here's the fixed xap, enjoy!
Thanks a lot, now work like a charm together with the "PhoneRestartApp".
Top and perfect.
Now, all we need is a live tile for it...
No seriously though, this is great, thank you. On LG, the Diagnosis menu (MFG APP) doesn't give battery left status like some other phones do, so this is very useful.
PS: I was serious about the live tile though XD
now just add a live tile function please

Works as it says. Some suggestions:
- Display mAh level of battery
- Display graphs that can show temperature mV, mAh and so on.
Take a look at this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
The alarm feature here is useful. Consider implementing other features that give people more reason to download this app over alternatives.
Overall great app though!

[Q] clock (night time charging)

I use an app called Gentle Alarm that has a good night clock mode. It can be configured to automatically start when the phone enters charge/dock mode. Not free, but an excellent alarm clock app that gently brings you out of sleep.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get along with the ViperOne(M8) 1.4.1 ROM I'm currently using due to the nav key issue, but I expect that to be resolved within the next 24 hours.

Daydreams can do that I believe, just set it to use Clock.
Daydream mode in your Display & gestures settings will allow that, like sfreemanoh said.
Other clock apps such as Timely will also have it, via Daydream.

If you sideload the clock.apk from stock android, it appears as an option in Daydreams (I prefer it over the HTC clock since it allows you to have multiple timer countdowns going at once). I can upload it for you if you want, just let me know.

Let me know if you can't access it, I haven't shared anything from Drive before.
Also, you may have to (since they're named the same thing in the launcher you may just want to do it anyway) freeze the existing Clock app. I did before loading this one, but I don't know if it was necessary or not.

[Q] Is the Sony smartwatch 2 worth it at $85?

Is the Sony smartwatch 2 worth it at $85?
Yes. Next question.
Yes.
compared to what?
u8?
pebble?
AW watches?
the u8 is cheap but crap
-screen unreadable outside
-crappy companion app
-screen is off in standby
-only 4 boring watchfaces
-hardly any firmware development
-must have phone or audio connection to phone, can't connect otherwise
the pebble is nice
-has a lot of support, both in firmware and 3rd party apps
-good companion app
-long lasting battery
-lots of watchfaces
i just don't like the design of the pebble, nor do i like the e-ink screen
the AW watches look nice, but AW hasn't evolved enough yet
and those watches are quite a bit more expensive
is the sw2 worth it?
i say yes:
-screen always on
-very readable in direct sunlight
-3rd party apps and watchfaces
-even though it's not high-res, it has a nice color screen
-good notification support, including filtered content from facebook and twitter
-battery life is pretty decent, about 3 days
-doesn't look as cheap as the pebble or u8
only wishes i have for the sw2 are native whatsapp support and a selectable screen timeout
hope this helps

This doesn't allow you to clear phone notifications from your watch though, is that right?

So that means you have to clear notifications once on the watch and then again on the phone....
Not that I have a better way to propose. Watchify should be, but unfortunately doesn't work reliably and the developer is AWOL.

I never bother to clear notifications on the watch. They are there as a heads-up, but want them to stay on the phone anyway for when I actually deal with them.

With watchify (when it works) I see the phone notification icons on my watchface, so I can be sure not to miss a text message for very long fir example, even if I happen to miss the watch vibrating.

How do you miss it, it's on your wrist! Anyway, lots of watch faces allow you to add notifications if that's your thing, glad you have one that suits you.

I'd be very happy if you can point me to alternatives but as far as I know they don't exist!
watchify doesn't have a content filter does it?
i only want Tweets from certain people on my watch
i have the Sony smart extension for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Sms and Call handling
for Hangouts this one
for Whatsapp an app that's no longer in the play store, still hoping for a native version by Sony
JJW has pretty nice collection of watchfaces as well
Use "Notify Smartwatch" instead. It has widget, font size control, clears phone notification when cleared on watch and content filtering!

I tried that before.
I think a smartwatch should show notification icons on the watchface, same as you see in the notification bar on your phone, whatever you're doing on the phone. So just the icons. Then I can see if there's anything I need to action or clear.
Notify Smartwatch just shows the latest notification in the widget, same as with Sony's widget. It doesn't show all the notification icons.

I don't get this as well! Thx for the hint. Will have a look.
It works alright, but coming out of the notification screen can be a bit glitchy. Also, after a few seconds the screen dims and the notification light can be a little hard to see.
Also I find the payed version quite expensive - but overall it seems to be what I was looking for.

If you use AOD it is awake. This app is using that. If you turned AOD then yes, battery. I am most disappointed by glitches when I try to open the phone.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. The AOD function is not the same as what most 3rd party apps use to keep the phone awake.
Pixel pulse, is the way to go, and the customized colors makes it even better at 2 AM work email notifications, so i know wtf i need to fix in the morning hahahaha
