Stopwatch

Hi Guys,
I just got my SmartWatch 2, but can't seem to find the stopwatch. Is there one?
This says there is:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ch-2-announced-new-sdk-version-to-come-video/
I guess someone will make an app soon anyway, just seems ridiculous to sell a watch without that function.
Cheers,
Rich

Mine came with a timer app already installed onto it... If it's not showing it might be off in the settings menu an then apps.

I cant seem to get my stopwatch to work. No amount of pressing the green button starts it, the numbers are just greyed out. Any tips or tricks to make the thing work??

This stopwatch works as a countdown, so you at first have to set an amount of time to start decreasing from (hourglass button).

You're talking about the Countdown that cames built-in with the Smartwatch 2 firmware.
I was talking about the Stopwatch for SmartWatch 2 that is for sale on Google Play
They are 2 different apps

[APP][2.3+] A Light: Flashlight 2.6

A Light: Flashlight 2.6
LED/screen light 1-Click ad-free.
Flashlight with no interface. To turn on/off - click the app icon.
Works with locked screen.
Vibrates every minute & turns off automatically after 10 minutes to save battery life (you can change it in the settings).
Lights by LED or screen if device has no LED.
A-Light is free and contains no ads.
Please leave a nice review and share the flashlight with friends, if you like it.

I need to know if that flashligthes work in the background (when you press HOME during lighting) and/or with locked screen.
Please answer.

Uhm I think I've understand you question, and the app I usually use works also if I use with the locked screen, also
If I press the home button during the lighting...
If you mean your app, I've tried many times and ways but nothing happens that before

Anyway, thanks a lot. I think I can fix it in future.

Now in Google Play!

Google Play MOBILE: A-Light: 1-Click Flashlight

Need advice. A-Light has a vibration at the start to avoid accidental activation. But some people find it annoying in flashlight and a waste of batteries.
Should I remove it? Does it annoy you? )

Nexus owners needed for testing!!! Please test 1.03beta: View attachment alight1.03.apk

New version 1.1 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=today.app.a.alight
Nexus support added!

New version 1.2 - installing on the sd card added.

1 click action is great! Set up to light up on my.
However, I would like the ability to turn off vibrate. Can you include that?
Why does this app need access/permission to take pictures/videos?

Thank you for the feedback!
If I add the "settings" to turn off vibrate it wouldn't be 1-Click any more Vibration has been added to prevent accidental turn on the flashlight. Some people need this.
About permissions - the led is a part of a camera. Android does not give access to the flash separately, only the camera entirely.

A-Strobe
Please check my new app (in the same style):
A-Strobe: the simplest LED stroboscope.
Switch on / off by pressing the icon. Frequency adjustable by volume buttons.
Works with locked screen.

Test period expired. Now free version available only for some contries.
Paid version. $1
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=today.app.a.aflashlight
Thank you.

I've changed my mind, free version available again in all contries. :good:
But if you install the A-Flashlight (similar app cost $1), I can drink an extra cup of coffee
Thanks!

Wake up S6 by touch finger scan ?

Dear all,
I know some smartphones can wake up by just touch the finger scan sensor.
So anyone in our family know how to do this on S6 ?
Hope some guys know or can do it

i believe that function would cause your phone battery to drain dramatically? but just pressing the home button with your saved finger print will wakeup/unlock your phone, which i think is good enough already

Hi Locker. It's an app on Play store that lets you do exactly what you guys want to do.

Emm, I have greenify and I am able to greenify system apps after purchasing the donation package and getting xposed, peraphs an app called fingerprint is running in background constantly, so I think it will not matter..

Yes. I used it myself. Go play store, install the app hi locker. Check security setting in the app, enable fingerprint. Then set the time duration for how long you want the fingerprint to be awake.

No problem

Would it be possible to add this feature with xposed or just root? No developers are actually working on this?

Its easier to just press the home button as @zincsnow said. This will eat battery life since the S6 only has a 2700mah battery.

I have my double press Home button set to S Voice. Just hit the button twice and say "battery" and it pops up full screen. Of course you can say any other command as well.

Nice. Thanks

If you swipe down from the watch face (eg from the 12:00 down to the 6:00 position) you get a new screen with the battery level at the top, as well as a number of other watch status/setting quick buttons (airplane mode, etc).

Hello i got my honor note 10 i love it but there are some things I don't like about it, one very annoying thing that i just cant figure out is how to get notifications on my lockscreen permanently, they only appear on my lockreen if i get them while my screen is locked. I want this because when im listening to music i have to unlock my phone everytime to change the song.

With all music players? Only changes the volume.

Hi,
It seems what you want to do cannot be achieved within EMUI directly. Which is weird because other devices allow to do so and given how it's marketed by Honor, it should allow such basic commands.
So only thing I can think of is to try to get an app that will allow you to remap your buttons from the Play Store. And hope one of them will allow you to do what you are looking for...
PLEASE NOTE : some of those apps will not work when display is "off". So you may want to turn on "Always on" feature (in the screen locking settings at the bottom...).
Hope this can be of any help...
Regards.

Told ya. It doesn't work. Horrible botching of the lockscreen by Huawei.
I have to use my smart watch to do track control, this is my first Android phone where I have to unlock the phone to skip tracks hehe.

But if you guyz would be happy u can change track from lock screen not with the buttons but :
no need to unlock screen just press power and by swiping on album pic change the track ..

Yeah, only if you restrict yourself to using Poweramp. Too bad for the rest of us.

SmartPhonesFan said:

Because that screen only appears if you use Poweramp to play local media. I use Spotify, so no such luck.
Google Play Music for some reason works, it's integrated with Huawei's lock screen. Not sure why.

Yeah. Most of them have properly working lockscreens that shows notifications from apps.
Huawei's implementation? Sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it doesn't. Even after enabling all the options.
They also mangled the double click power button for camera shortcut. Try to activate the camera shortcut when listening to music or watching a video. The worse part is that they don't even use the double power button shortcut for anything.
