Hey, I just got my SW2 after eyeballing it for a while. Well, the problem is, after connecting to my phone, I install apps on my phone using SmartConnect, but they never appear on the watch. Or, they do, but are greyed out. Help?! Please?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
You would need this as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2
But make sure you've paired the watch to the phone also.
So what you need is pairing, smart connect app, smart watch 2 app
Okay, I got it setup. Somehow it stopped installing apps along the way.. But now here's my next problem...
It doesn't sync with my phone? When I go to the slideshow app, it never loads my photos, it just shows loading bars and then closes. Same with the camera. Same with music. All of it just does the bar thing and then shuts..

It'd be great if someone could help me with this, I seem to have narrowed it down.
It doesn't sync to my device. It will for like, five seconds of being connected, but then it'll stop. Am I doing something wrong?

I had same problem with htc one v and stock based roms (sense). On pure android aosp it works like charm

You probably have bluetooth issues between SW2 and your LG.

I have found that Hulu will not work on a rooted device. I have it on y Xoom and had to return it to stock for it to work. I have not returned my phone to stock to get it working on it. I have not found a modded apk to work correctly on a rooted device. I believe I have tried the one listed in teh earlier post with little success...maybe i need to try it again.
Hello Everyone. I have an att one X that is having an odd wifi issue. I've googled and only found the hardware wifi issue and im pretty sure that's not what i have. I actually got this phone on a trade for a one s, when i recieved the X it alrealdy had the venom rom installed. so at first i thought that it was just maybe a bad rom flash because i looked at the rom build and it was one of the earlier versions, but i flashed cm10 and the issue is still there. The issue with my wifi is that it doesn't connect to anything even if im right next to the router. it doesn't seem to find the router and it'll constantly pickup random wifi signals and not the one i want, but regardless it will never connect. all of the info i've seen out there about the hardware problem says its a week signal problem with both wifi and Bluetooth but it'll still connect. my bluetooth also seems to be working fine. I'm on the new firmware i believe because i have to flash the boot image through fastboot in order to get a rom to load. Can it be the Kernal? i've been reading on this so such for the last two days that i think i read that the kernal must also me flashed in a different way, not straight through the recovery.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try and post a quick video on this issue later on
Bro.. Mr sinco and I have been fighting this issue with aosp ROMs for the last 6-8 weeks.... We've brought it up and seems to be pushed aside.. it started making me mad enough to where I'm back on sense ROMs. (Not that there's anything bad about them, I rather aosp)
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Well i think that rules me out. Because I was on the venom rom which is a sense rom. Maybe I'll try another sense rom and see if that works for me
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Hmmm sense ROMs have always been good... Maybe try to delete that ROM off of sdcard, do a clean download of cleanrom or something, and try everything fresh.. don't do a backup or anything... 100% clean install and see what happens

i too have been effected by poor wifi performance on all aosp ROMs (specifically AOSP JB rom's) rohan has asked me to provide a log at i have to do so, i just figured theres no way no one else doesnt have the issue and one of his irc buddies or someone with more knowledge would provide one...however we're months later and i still have the issue, i suppose its time i buckle down and logcat the poor man.
Thanks really hope that works. I really like this phone and it would be a shame if it was some other type of hardware issue I can't fix

Well my problem is connecting.. it can take up to 20 minutes just to latch on. Once its connected the performance OK OK, nothing to complain about but nothing to brag about either.

Which rom are you using?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Its the router not the phone. Well kinda.... the phone(with aosp or cm installed) does not handle certain securities that some router use. I have been troubleshooting the best I can and I finally got mine to work but you need to be able to adjust router settings

How do I edit router settings? This happens on every aosp ROM..

It happened to me on every ROM I tried that wasn't a sense ROM. I ended up having to turn of DMZ and WPS. After that I got my normal download and upload speeds and it always stays connected.

Do you turn this off in the phone or the router?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
On the router. DMZ is a security subnetwork to help keep internet "things" out of your router. WPS is also on the router and helps people who have trouble connecting devices to their router to be able to just hit a button to connect. Turn them both off in the router settings.

Another question. So your phone still doesn't connect to any type of secured wifi networks with any rom period?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Idk. I haven't test on many networks. Only home and work. Work has limited security. So it connects fine

i realize my post was far from informative...yes my issue is it not conecting as well. will try, but if you watch it, it stops and just sits at "secured, not in range" or wtf ever. After you put the password in, turn the screen off and let it sleep for a minute, i bet when you turn the screen on itll be connected (its been my only solution so far)
Well PLUKK thanks for all of the feedback. My issue is experiencing it's own unique characteristics and issues I haven't seen, but also includes some of yours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test on any open unsecured network yet. But the thing with my phone is that it will literally be right next to the router and it sometimes won't show the router in my list of available networks but it'll show others. And all of them are secured. I've tried this at my home and my girlfriends home and here at the school I work at. I work at college so WIFi is everywhere and I've never had problems connecting before, but the issue is that it doesn't even show up on the available networks sometimes it it'll show a network I've never seen. I'll try and post a video about this issue a little later. As I know I'm probably Not getting my point across very well.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Every router is different and each one has security set up different. That's why some you see and some you don't. It is the phones ROM causing issue BUT it can be solved by adjusting settings. Since you can't do that if the router is not yours then you can
A. Wait for a fix
B. Use a sense ROM
C. Turn off WiFi
I have tried myself for a week trying to fix my phone too but I have the know how to only do so much. Good lukk

So I just bought the pebble watch for my Galaxy S4. I have been hesitant because of the Samsung bug, but so far the only one I noticed was the video player bars staying there. Anyone else can tell me what this watch is capable of? Or if the issues come up on the phone with time?

If you turn on accessibility so that you can get whatsapp messages etc on the watch, then it enables talkback

Hi!
I've been using my pebble for some time now. I don't use the talk back service, so it doesn't bother me.
I can recommend pebble notifier as well!
I doubt that the bars staying on in video player are because of the pebble, as I remember that I've had that before I even had ordered my pebble.
It has appeared once or twice after that randomly as well and disappeared.
Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..

Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.
Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Have a nexus 5 Sony watch wouldn't stay connected...after a phone call to tech support sony does not support anything above 4.3...why BC no sony phones are above 4.3 at the moment....

I'm using it with my S3 running omnirom, which is at 4.4.2 so it's not that. There is an update coming but I doubt it would help you in itself. Mine disconnects from time to time, I've found the quickest way to reconnect is to turn Bluetooth off on the watch and back on again, it generally pairs straight away. Hopefully that will be fixed in the new version.

Tried 2 different watched.. Bluetooth works fine.. Use Bluetooth headphones to work out with and those never get disconnected.
