Gear S3 screen timeout - Altimeter - Samsung Gear S3

Hi All
I want to use my Gear S3 for paragliding. Does anyone know of anyway to have the Altimeter stay on screen without timing out? I need to have it on screen for the duration of the flight which could be 1-2hrs.
Many Thanks
Myles

not without interacting with the app every 30 seconds.
I've requested the ability to keep an active app open until manually closed, and i suggest you do the same.
more people requesting it means a bigger chance they'll change it.
you can suggest changes here: https://help.content.samsung.com/csweb/ticket/createQuestionTicket.do

this is the correct link.
it does exactly what is expected, thanks.
it also gives you true AOD, it won't even allow the screensaver clock to appear.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Downloaded the app in the link and it works great. Thank you, this has solved my issue. Now I can use my S3 for flying.

Your link doesn't work for me. I'm in Spain, and the link just brings up a page with a message in Spanish offering to redirect me to Galaxy apps. No other option, so I accept that and it does indeed open the Galaxy Apps store on my phone - but just at the home page. I need to know the name of your app so I can search for it on there. Can you please therefore confirm the name of your app?

it's called "I Am Alive"
most likely the app isn't available for your region, so your galaxy apps app opens the main page instead.

Thanks. I searched for "I Am Alive" in the Galaxy appps store and found it without difficulty, and have downloaded it. Thanks heaps. Just shows, for marketing and practical reasons it's always a good diea to state the actual name of your app whenever you refer to it.

Hi everyone,
The main reason I got this watch was to use as a secondary alti whilst skydiving. I chose it based on the fact that I could use the app to keep the app open.
I tested it during a jump today and unfortunately the watch was still going back to sleep after 2 or 3 minutes. Have Samsung updated the OS to prevent wakelock of any type or something? Has anyone got a workaround or an alternative app?
Alternatively, does anyone know of an android wear OS app method to do this? I may have to refund the S3 and switch to the Huawei watch 2 if I can't get this working unfortunately. It would be a shame if I had to, its a beautiful smart watch (although I have found it to be very limited in certain ways).
Thanks

[Apps] for the Sony Smartwatch MN2

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

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

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.

Runtastic Alternative with Low Power Mode

Anyone know an alternative to Runtastic with low-power mode? Bloody hopeless having to fart around with buttons to see what speed you're doing...

No low power mode, but Google My Tracks combined with My Tracks for Smartwatch has an "always on" feature.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunflowerstudio.smartwatch.mytracks
Can you tell me a bit about google tracks? How does it compare to runtastic and are they even apps for the same purpose or what? I tried to find much info.

Similar but more basic. Set up a profile, it tracks via GPS and gives speed, distance, time, pace etc. like Runtastic, and the watch can be configured to stay on and show speed, time and distance, stop and start. On the phone plays back nicely on Google Earth.
Uploads automatically to Google Drive, but if you want to share on Facebook just gives a link rather than map and stats, and clicking the link only shows the map not the stats. All available on the phone though.
I got in touch with the developer of AeroTrackerPro for Pebble and he said he'd have a look, but no promises.

You can also get MyTracks on the watch with Watch My Tracks, again keeps the watch on but no low power. And can get better sharing via Strava and My Tracks Uploader.
Another option is to use remote widget with google my tracks, this way you get low power+always on
Shame that runtastic or nike apps doesnt have any real time widget

Tried that, but widget doesn't refresh on the watch.
Any idea why the Walkman widget doesn't appear in remote widget?
You can try forcing the phone to stay on when the widget is active from the remote widget settings

What I mean is to maintain the phone out of the deep sleep mode (set the config of the widget in device power on to CPU only mode). You will only notice that battery will be drained a little bit faster when monitoring the widget in real time at your wrist (what is normal)
What I use is endomondo with remote widget. I put the endomondo widget on remote widget and activate low battery mode. The bad thing is that you can see only one of the three info that real widget would provide on the phone due to the small screen of the watch. So I use it to see just the hr monitor.
Because distance and duration are told me earphones
Oh and it does work all the time, doesn't stop at all. You see life info

If anyone wants to test the smartwatch version let me know its in beta on play at mo.

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.
I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps
I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

But then where is my app ?
hmmm.
I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.
Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

Thanks for your feedback. I will create a version with better clock and font if you have any suggestions for the font face and/or clock. But I would like to keep the analog clock simple in this one, because the aim is to supply information. So, I am waiting for suggestions...

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.
@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.
Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?

Gear S2 Clock Face Request

I believe I've looked almost everywhere, and after a couple hours looking I give up and decided to ask:
On my GEAR S I have a clock face with the basics: Time in big bold numbers a the top, followed below in smaller fonts: Notifications count, Calendar (or agenda, whatever) count and weather.
It also has a short description of what's coming up for me: Next meeting (for instance: (Staff meeting 0800-1200))
I'm a Safety Manager (OSHA, on military installations) and that's all I need to get through the day. I just bought this S2 and LOVE IT, but I can't seem to locate a clock face that tells me everything I need at a glance.
Ideas?
Thanks, guys and gals. NICE WORK on what you do have available, and it looks like most of them are a lot of HARD WORK too!

Right now this is impossible to accomplish with the gear watch designer. Maybe in a future update, it can be done. But as for now, the options just aren't available without making a whole stand alone program to run on the phone so you can display weather and all the various notifications.

Thank you. A veritable Gold Mine of watch faces. With that being said I searched through all 11 pages and did not find a single watch face that displays the weather or notifications or otherwise on the home face.
Please believe me when I say I am not trying to be argumentative. I am just dying (figuratively) to learn how to incorporate these complications directly on the watch face instead of tapping to open the Weather or notification app. The complications in GWD are really limited.
P.s. For anyone else interested be sure to add the S on the address

Ah haaa. So I was not mistaken. Mkowy led me to believe it was possible NOW. If it's on the interwebs, it must be true. Amirite?

[APP] [+4.0] Whatsapp Web (Tablet/Phablet)

WHATSAPP WEB
HI everyone! I bet that a lot of us have a smartphone and a tablet, maybe for work, for gaming, or maybe just to have a better experience with a large screen device. it depends. Everyone also has Whatsapp to get in touch with friends on their phone, but i know that a lot of people wanted to use it also on tablets. For those who already tried it, i know too, there's a way to make it work and it's called "Chrome". In Chrome you can use "Request as a Desktop Site" to reach your goal but..who would like to have always open a browser that consumes RAM and battery? No one i guess. So i decided to make an app that let you Whatsapp Web on your Tablet/Phablet without the need of using a browser. Obviously it consumes less resources and it's battery friendly. Very simple.
1) Install the app
2) Open it
3) Scan the QR code with your smartphone
4) Have fun!
**PAY ATTENTION**
THE APP HAS BEEN TESTED WITH A COUPLE OF TABLETS SUCH AS GALAXY TAB S2, GALAXY TAB 3, GALAXY TB S. IT HAS BEEN ALSO TESTED WITH SOME SMARTPHONES (for testing purpose only) SUCH AS GALAXY CORE 2, GALAXY A3, GALAXY A5, LG SPIRIT 4G. WORKED FINE WITH ALL OF THEM. IF YOU CANNOT USE WHATSAPP WEB, PROBABLY THERE WILL BE AN USER AGENT PROBLEM. JUST LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO FIX.
**NOTE**
The app uses whatsapp name's and icon just because i'm not planning to upload it on Playstore. It was an app for myself that i decided to share here with you, so maybe it can be useful for someone else. Obviously i'm not affiliated with Whatsapp Inc. and all rights belongs to their respective owners.
Here some screenshot captured on my Galaxy Tab S2:
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3
And here's the apk package that obviously can be downloaded by everyone:

Thanks dev. I was searching for an app like that. Original app consumes a lot resources.

if this is an autonomous app why do we need to instal through another app? Installing the app you atached shouldn´t be enough? Why do we have to scan that bar code?
Please explain. thanks

It's simple, user cannot use whatsapp without a verification and cannot use one account on multiple devices. If you go on your pc to this website "web.whatsapp.com" you'll see the qr code to be scanned. This step is necessary and allows the connection between your phone and whatsapp web. Unfortunately this cannot be avoided. This app "wraps" the desktop site of whatsapp web and allows users with a tablet without 4g to use it on their devices without the need of a Pc and, obviously on the go. If you want to learn more, please go here. Hope it helps

Ok, many thanks for your complete information
Hi,
thanks for the app, it's working pretty well. But scrolling horizontally while holding my phone in portrait doesn't really work. Maybe it's an easy fix?
HTC 10 on Android 6 (Sense)
Thanks for your app!
Unfortunately I encountered an issue:
I can't leave the app. Tried to push Back-Button, but nothing happened.

The app is designed for tablet and phablet devices because it works best in landscape mode (on big screens). However it seems to be a webview problem. Unfortunately it's not an app bug, so i don't know if i can make something to workaround this issue. I'll try

Thank you. Hope you will find a fix.
Hi, more explanation on the non-exit issue:
When I hit the Back-Button, the thin dark green line in the top area flashes shortly. So pushing button seems to be recognized, but nothing happens.

Hello! Just quit the app by deleting it from "recents". Actually there isn't a "back to exit" option, but i'm looking into it. Thanks for using WW
I love this app, thank you for sharing.
Works well on my Tab S2. I have a small problem though, sending/attaching photos does not work. I tap the paperclip icon then tap 'Photos and Videos', I can choose a photo from any source yet it does not do anything after that.
There is another similar app on the market called WhatsTablet where photo sending does work, but your app starts faster and looks better!
@op do you have the source code for this somewhere?

Hi, long time ago i purchased from codecanyon a template app called web2app (because i was new to android developement) . Unfortunately the twmplate wasn't showing pages in "Desktop" view, and i needed it for that. So i spent a few hours to learn and modify the code to make it work and show correctly desktop sites. After that i customized a little the UI. Actually i changed pc and haven't a backup of the code of the app...but if you're interested in, you can take a look here:
