Tips​
Double tap the strap or screen to turn the screen on
If you shake it hard enough the screen will turn on
There are currently no ways to keep the screen on or alter the timeout (other than 'Custom watch for Smartwatch')
You can now choose either an analogue or digital watch that stays on when the smartwatch detects motion (will use battery faster!)
To completely reset the watch (for instance if you're having trouble pairing/flashed a new rom etc.) Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. When you turn it back on it should show the watch and phone with a syncing arrows in between them.
Process for a full reset (basically like you just got it out of the box!)
1- Remove smartwatch app from phone by going to setting->apps->smartwatch->uninstall
2- Unpair the smartwatch from phone by going to settings->bluetooth->smartwatch->unpair
3- Reset smartwatch by following the above tip (hold power button for 15 secs)
To re-pair the devices make sure liveware manager is installed on your phone, re-pair, download smartwatch app when prompted.
Any tips you have which you think are cool, please post so i can put them here!!​

Latest version is:

Smartwatch (app)- 1.2.33

I hope Sony will be releasing updates more often! The last update was very welcomed. Hope it fixes my problems with battery indicator... watch was showing battery charging status, although I was wearing it and not charging.
One correction: "Double tap the strap or display to turn the screen on"
Also...
Analog clock is useless. It has no numbers (3,6,9,12).
Small digital clock changes one position down every minute (it has 3 positions: upper, middle, lower). Same is with battery charging indicator!
Battery indicator is now always visible when charging! <-- unfortunately this is THE best feature in this update!
Previously I could turn the display completely off with the button (clock screen -> press button -> screen turns off), but now it's impossible. Pressing the button causes looping between clock screen and aplications/widgets. Sony why are you removing functions... =(

The update broke my dad's SmartWatch - it's restarting as soon as it connects to his One X. I tried it on my One X and I couldn't even find it via bluetooth!
Tried to restart the watch in every way possible, unpaired it with my dad's phone, reistalled the LiveWare and SmartWatch apps.. no use.
I see from the Play Store comments that some people are suffering from the same issue with Galaxy S2 and Sensation 4G. Any suggestions?

That is weird because im on the One X as well. have you tried holding the power button (whilst the screen is on) for 15 seconds? That will hard reset the watch. Id do this:
1. uninstall the smartwatch and liveware apps from his One X
2. Reboot phone.
3. Hold power button for 15 seconds to hard reset watch.
4. reinstall liveware app
5. Pair phone with smartwatch again, reinstall smartwatch app.
Hopefully that will sort it!

Thanks, but I tried all that and it's no use.

Excellent watch for me but it really miss a true email app (and not only fo Sony smartphones).
I've seen the K9 mail app but K9 don't work with Exchange 2010 servers (i've tried !)
The update of today is great (active notifications, differents clocks...).
I hope someone will create another email app !

Warning! Fatal firmware update being pushed
This morning (May 31 2012), I awoke to a new version of the SmartWatch software. It offered to push new firmware to the device. After the flash (which went normally), the watch reboots EVERY time the screen wakes up. The market is full of people who are furious.

Updated op. Thanks for the info, sorry your having problems. Weird how its not affecting all of them.

Same here - update broke the watch
Same here.
Updated this morning - everything went well. But after the update the watch disconnectes and reboots all the time.
I realized the following behaviour - I am able to start the watch and then it tries to sync with the phone. After a while the screen goes blank. But if I wake it up now the screen flickers twice & it reboots with the "Sony" display.
Same thing when I receive a notification - so a connection between the phone (Xperia S) and the watch is actually established.
I chatted with some guy from Sony support & he told me to contact my dealer to get a replacement (I just got it yesterday)
I figure I will wait a few days if there is an update and if that does not help I will get a replacement for it is still in warranty.

Has anyone used the Ultimate Watch add on (referenced in the OP). It's the app that keeps the clock on the screen at all times. If so, do you have any experience to share about the battery life when using this app?

I have used it. Unfortunately for me, it was a huge drain on battery. Watch wouldn't last even one day while using that watch app with the screen on setting.

Hi Francesco !
That would be good. The SmartWatch can't make a sound. Not have a Speaker
I haven't seen the bell.: Confused:

I've used this as well before the latest update. Really liked all the different styles but massive drain on the battery, even after the latest update which made it dim. Battery wouldn't last more than about 4 hours with the latest smartwatch update there is an option to have the clock showing all the time natively (digital or analogue), again drains the battery quicker but lasts a bit longer with this method!
@Francesco I think the bell icon is used to show that you have an alarm set if I remember correctly. Not sure though as I don't use the built in alarm app. Welcome to the forum!

Yes I have found. But should only be advertising on calendar reminders. We have no buzzer.

I've had the Sony smart watch a few weeks now got it as a bday gift and I love it. Dec better then there first live view watch it stays connected and works as it suppose to. I luckily had no issues with the new update I received a couple days ago. I like the new watch on feature although it does drain. The battery faster. It at least last through the day but I'm OK with not having it on and tapping the screen when I need to. The battery last me a week when its set normally.

Korean Firmware update November 20 2015

Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

I'm looking forward to having the "Vibration when disconnected" feature back. Had it with the Gear S

Any update on sleep monitoring?

I noticed small cosmetic changes inside the S-health app, but nothing else beyond that. I've found nothing related to sleep monitoring.
Also checked yesterday to see if a reminder can be set using S-Voice, and that is also still broken.

I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.

Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.

My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version. I rebooted the watch and nothing. Do I have to reboot my phone? I hate to try this as it always breaks my weather app and I have to totally uninstall all gear apps on the phone and factory reset the watch to get it working again.

If it's not a Korean Watch, just be patient. The app was updated, but they have not pushed the new firmware out to the rest of the world. To confirm this, go to Settings->About Gear->Update Gear Software->Update now.

Ah, I understand now. Thanks, got to excited to soon.

display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?

You guys are lucky.
In korea some devices that are updated got stuck at booting logo.
I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.

Encrypted Phone
So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?

My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

Night Clock not woking after latest update

I have note edge n downloaded n installed the latest update thru sprint. After the update my night clock doesnt come on. I have tried turing it on n off.
I do have the Samsung smart case but that didnt matter before.
Turned off the style clock for flip wallet thinking that might help but nothing

Yea, this is a big deal to me. Same issue. I can get it to come on if you lay it down, swipe the edge to show info, once it stops scrolling the night clock will engage, looks like they added weather back in, which is nice. However, once engaged, it's upside down. So I flipped and turned the phone, which caused it to rotate 180 like it's supposed to be, but it wont stay that way. And then once you flipped it and wake the phone, that super dimness of the night clock is carried over to the entire phone and the only fix I have found is reboot.
This is not cool. One of my fav features of this phone is the night clock. Without that... I don't want it.
Another issue since the update, I use he fingerprint scanner to unlock... after a reboot you are forced to use your password, which is fine. But now, I am prompted with that "must use password after reboot" screen every couple unlocks WITHOUT any reboots.
I was already getting annoyed with this phone before the update (screen would lock while typing and general sluggishness at times) and was excited to see the OTA update for Marshmallow come across.... hoping it would fix some things.
That said, I'd rather be in the boat I was with Lollipop than lose my nightclock and be forced to use password for no reason. Ugh.

My wife's Sprint Galaxy Note Edge has the same problem where the Night Clock feature seemed to stop working after the Marshmallow update.
However, I figured out a workaround for this. The post-Marshmallow-update Night Clock feature does work IF you use the 24-hour format for your time. You can toggle between 24-hour and 12-hour format in Settings > Date & Time.
I contacted Samsung's Live Chat support to report the issue and the workaround and was told that the information would get passed along to the appropriate department. I'm not sure if anything will get done about this, so keep your fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I will keep checking her phone to see if anything else can make Night Clock work when 12-hour format is in use.

changing the time format to 24hrs does work right away. you do have to touch the edge screen to be able to see the temp. since the regular night clock still only has time and alarm info.

Edge clock ~ galaxy note edge
Yes after the recent Marshmallow update, the Edge Clock on the Galaxy Note edge had stopped working. However, in a recent software update, a few days ago, the night clock has started working ~ as usual in the 12 hour format.

I just found out that the night clock won't work as long as your alarm clock is set. Turn off your alarm clock and the night clock will appear. I had to download a 3rd party alarm clock last night that wouldn't activate the built in alarm clock, and it worked for me.

Than you so much for the tip. Switching to 24 hr time format really works in showing the night clock. For now it's better than nothing. Thanks again.

You seem to be right about this one. I was using the 24 hr time trick but I don't like reading time like that so it was kinda Hassel. I soon as I turned off timely (3rd party clock app) the night clock started working immediately

I have found that using my alarm clock app is causing the night clock not to come on. If I turn off the alarm clock then comes back. This is very irritating as most people who use night clock also use the alarm. I have also spoke with Samsung chat and got the same results. They are sending it to the appropriate department...... I'm not going to hold my breath.......

Sprint rolled out an update (which I got yesterday) and it appears that the Night Clock issue has been fixed ....

Hello all, I received 6.0 update for my note edge few days back but i haven't installed the update as the reviews say that its a bad update & the phone gets a lot of bugs after updating to 6.0 marshmallow. My note edge is N915G model.
Can u plz tell me how is yr note edge working after updating to 6.0?
Has the night clock issue been resolved?
Hows the battery life?
And how many more updates did u receive after the original 6.0 update?
Any other issues u r facing?
Kindly answer all my questions. Really need an honest opinion. Thanks

The only thing that worked for me was to turn the clock off then let the phone screen go to sleep on its own.

Alarm doesn't go off

Most of the days, my morning alarm doesn't go off. The alarms during the day are ok, but when I'm sleeping in bed doesn't work. Always with AOD off and do not disturb (programmed) on.
Anyone else experiencing? Any solution?

One time only - last week - my morning alarm (is set fro Mon-Fri at same time) just buzzed for half a second then stopped by itself. Never happened before or since, but a bit worrying that I'm already starting to see some bugs with my S3 - as my notifications about new emails now only work intermittently

My alarm also is no longer working reliably. I can test it and it works. I set my Gear S3 into do not disturb mode before going to bed and then the alarm never goes off at the set time in the morning. I have tried both auto scheduled do not disturb mode and manual do not disturb and alarm fails to work in both. For the first month I never had an issue.
Come on Samsung! This is the most basic feature. Smart Watch??

Same here. The only way I can get alarm to work is if it is running in the background the app that is that I open it to make sure it's running before I go to bed then it would work for me.

Same here gutted the vibrate only function is one of the main features I use. Got in trouble with the boss due to this watch lol. Hopefully it something fixable via firmware update.

Yes, should be fixed soon, the problem is that Samsung support is awfull! I have tried to report this and some other (proved) bugs and they always respond with: restart your device, reset to factory default, etc. And if it doesnt work, send it to technical repair! They should listen their customer and look/check bugs in forums like this also...

Hi all, I had the same issue. Updated the alarm app to 1.0.28, still the issue. Then I read a comment from someone that it could be a conflict with watchfaces that are not Samsung original (stock). And indeed I had installed a purchased watchface a few weeks back when the problem started. Tried switching back to a Samsung stock watchface before going to bed, and for the last 3-4 mornings, alarm has been working fine!
So I can't say for sure it's the issue, but in my case, the non-original Samsung watchface seems to conflict with the alarm function. Back to Sansung face for the night and the bug is fixed. I hope this can help others!
Happy Easter

Question Audio Guide while walking

Hallo all,
I own a GW4 Classic. I used to own the GW. During walking i used to have audio messages every 1 km with the GW. It would tell me my heartbeat, average speed and so on. With my new GW4 i can't get any sound out of it. Firmware version DUJA. All notifications, system, ringtone, audio, media and so on work fine. All settings are standard, i resseted the watch twice. It should work out of the box.
The audio Guide is on and i set the frequency on one min. for instance, start walking. After one minute, it vibrates with a black screen with green letters telling me the distance. Thats all.
I can not imagine it is a hardware problem? What do you guys think?

New DUK1 firmware today, but still no luck.
Can somebody do this test please, before i send it fir repair?
1. Select activity "walking"
2. Before it starts, press the "gear wheel" at the bottom for settings.
3. Audio guide should be on.
4. Pauze should be off.
5. Frequentie put on time : 1 min.
6. Go out of settings and let it go.
7. does it give you an audio update after 1 min?
Mine just vibrates with a black screen an green text with distance.
It would be nice if somebody could help me!
Greetings,
Frank

Interesting. I have used this when cycling, while connected to my Galaxy Buds+. I've never touched the settings, and it worked just fine. Actually glad to know that I can adjust it or turn it off. Might be an obvious question, but are you using headphones/earbuds? If not, you've no doubt checked the audio settings on your watch?

Thx for your reply. I do not use headphones. I checked all the audio settings and no luck. It should work out of the box. Thats why i reset the watch before. Sound should come out of the speaker of the watch without headphones.

Right, I see that now in your original post. I would suggest you keep playing with it, trying various options, settings, etc., and not send it in for repair (at least not yet). The feature works, and in my experience, this kind of issue is most likely not a repair issue, but a setting or system limitation issue.

I am trying for 2 weeks already. Deleted the apps completely. Deleted the plugins for the watch. Reset to factory 3 times. New firmware this morning. Twice contact with Samsung. I am completely lost.....

Deleted the apps completely? Isn't that a systems app?

Don't think so Samsung wearable is an Android app. Together with a plugin it connects to your phone thru BT. Then you have Samsung health for your fitness stuff and Samsung health monitor for ECG and Blood Pressure.
I deleted all, deleted storage and cache first. Like i said, if you delete all the apps, reset the watch, and do not roll back a backup, it should be as out of the factory. Connect to Wearable app, the plugin is installed and all should work as out of the box. Nobody complains about this "audio guide" feature, so it looks like it's only my watch which is faulty.
Would be nice if i got some feedback, if other people struggle with this feature.

Thx for your post. After your remark to not send it for repair i gave it another try. Reset the watch, installed the wearable app again without restoring a backup. Guess...... it didn't work. But then i restored my latest backup. It didn't work. Then i was goin thru all the settings and i noticed one setting i could try. GENERAL > INPUT > LANGUAGE. I was able to download a Dutch language pack. And you won't believe it, but it works. I am so happy. It cost me two weeks!

That's great to hear! I figured it had to be a software issue given that you know your hardware is fine (as audio is working), so glad you found it and sorted it out in the end!

Thank you!

Few days ago I have install last firmware (photo in attach) and now i have a same problem. Almost one year I used it for running (gw4), and after every km I got audio guidence, now I only have vibration, screen turns on for a few seconds but without any voice. Any idea how to solve this irritating problem? Thanks

For me it worked to change default language on my phone (and not watch) to english. Bad solution, but it is working
