[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

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nwatch&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
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

Second that

Defiantly would appreciate a way to control the alarm clock.

Can someone port the Sony Pocketstation games? It will be cool....

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.

I find the app still breaks here and there and i don't use the open function.
I have ics 4.0.3 on gs2

Is there anyway to reinstall my apps across devices?

Why I am asking is my Focus S (great phone) is making an hissing sound when I use my camera w/flash or flashlight. ATT is going to send me a Lumia instead is there anyway I can reinstall all my apps painlessly? Thanks for your help.

Just use your same microsoft ID again (windows live) and go to windowsphone.com. log in and go right where it shows your phone, there is in this tab a site for purchase history. from there you can click on every app to reinstall again. it will send then the app via wifi to your phone from this pc you are logged in. the was also this app reinstall but it doesn work anymore because microsoft changed the way how apps and the app site works....

when WP first came out, any apps I downloaded from the marketplace on my computer automatically installed as well...
it stopped doing that a while back, but was a cool feature.

thanks for update
used the reinstaller and other things but didn't realize I could do that from the wp website nice

Evernote?

Has anyone had any luck with Evernote on the S3?

Never tried it here hmmm good question

Yes, there's an unofficial app you can use. I use it at work and it does the job well.
https://sites.google.com/site/gearapplications/enotegear
You install GearHub from the play store to your phone, and use it to install ENoteGear to your phone, and login to Evernote.
Then search ENoteGear on Galaxy App Store on your phone and this installs the app to your watch.

ENoteGear works great.

I have a problem with loading my notes. After i start the ENoteGear on my Gear S3, the screen is stuck either at synchronization or waiting content...
Lot of Times only thing that helps is restarting the watch multiple Times.
Did this problem occured to you aswell? Did you figure a walkaround About this?

Same for me. Old versions for Gear 1&2&S worked fine but the new version for Gear S2/S3 work very very....bad and stuck major time at launch. It can works better if you take your phone and open GearHub while you launch the Gear App...... so .... almost unusable I deleted this app from my Gear

It seems when you delete a note on the web or pc app, then open up the gear app and it tries to sync, the app get stuck syncing. I've discussed briefly this issue with the developer on Twitter, but no resolution yet. It makes the app unusable.
I shall point the developer to this thread, to see if they can pop in and help.

That would be wonderfull I would really appreciate this, because i use the Evernote quite a lot at work, and it comes handy to have it on your wrists. I wouldnt even mind paying a little bit more then it costs now, just so it works (

Question Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't pick up all steps on 3rd party watch face.

Hey guys,
I've recently received my Galaxy Watch 4 and noticed that when using 3rd party watch faces, such as Facer and Mr Time, the interface doesn't pick up all my step count. For instance, I'm currently at 6344 on the official Samsung Health app, but only at 2281 on the faced watch face.
I've made sure to look at all my settings, closed Galaxy Gear app, clear the cache didn't work. Factory reset the phone and the watch, didn't work...
Kinda lost, anybody stumbled into this issue or have an idea on a fix.
Thanks

Don't you think that watchface is crappy and you should contact watchface developer ?

I'd love to tell you I didn't but they couldn't help. Keep in mind it's not 1 watch face, it's all watch faces from 3rd party such as Facer and Mr Time

Seems to be the 3rd party watch faces responsibilities to work efficiently with Watch 4! Cheers

Simple question: does default Samsung watchface correctly show steps ?

Yes it does...

I'd love to tell that this way you answered yourself. As far as I know GW4 incorporates latest incarnation of Wear OS. This way not only watchfaces but many apps ( Wear OS ready ) does not work properly ( i.e. "Messages"). Even buit in Outlook deos not work for me.
IMHO: There is no other way then their creators make propper adjustments.

That's what I figured. It will probably work itself out in the future as the updates continue to Pop in, but I thought I'd take a chance in case someone uncovered something I didn't. Thanks for looking into it though

Hi my bro, for me Facer working great on my GW4 classic (latest update), no problem at all.

I do not use faces from Facer and Mr Time but I can tell you there are Wear face developers out there that have fully functional faces that work great on the GW4. I use several of Matteo Dini's faces:
play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=7920922820385858766&hl=en_US&gl=US

Thanks guys. I might be a one off, or not, but steps aren't the same on stock app than on Facer watch face. No biggie. Thanks

Question Answer Whatsapp calls

Hello,
My friend has a Galaxy watch 4 classic and can answer Whatsapp calls on his smartphone whereas I can't on my Galaxy watch 4.
Is it because his smartphone is a Samsung and my isn't, or am I missing a setting?

I have a Watch 4 and can't answer calls either. Not only that, even when I answer the call on my phone, it doesn't send the audio over to the watch
This is disappointing as even a $10 "smartwatch" can do this ... and my phone is also a Samsung =)
I tried using Javascript commands to route the audio from phone speaker to bluetooth, but my bluetooth connection between the phone and watch only shows the Call profile, not the Media profile
Any ideas or solutions to suggest?

Found another solution, a full fledged Whatsapp for our watches. A guy called Joao modded below Beta to work on watch 4/5. Installation of file via ADB to watch, started WA to welcome screen, set wm density to 75 via Wear Installer app, clicked WA on watch to next screen with a beta info, reset wm density, was able to scroll down to QR code and connect watch WA via Linked Devices function to WA on phone. Works perfectly, almost all functions. Remember when playing around with wm density make a watch backup first.

You should have absolutely no problems to answer phone calls on your watch even if it's just Bluetooth. Have you checked permissions?
Otherwise you should reset your watch and restart it. (just do a complete backup of your watch face, settings and apps on your Samsung account).

Are you able to answer WhatsApp calls on your GW4? Normal calls are possible for me, just not WhatsApp calls. And even when I answer on the phone, the audio cannot get transferred to the GW4

on my R890 XXU1GVK4 it's working.
WA call is just passed through to the watch.
Nothing else to install for that.

Yes. It's on stock A13.

I think that must be why you can answer Whatsapp calls on your Samsung watch. My friend that can answer Whatsapp calls also has a Samsung smartphone whereas I use a OnePlus.

On A13 too

It works only on samsung smartphones, i have a Xiaomi 11 lite 5G NE and my wife have a S20FE, for her it works, for me not, both galaxy Watch 4 BT model.

Is there an updated version to work? This one says expired?
Thanks

There were updates posted in a Telegram chat, but in order to evade expiring betas these are based on you might as well install and sideload the regular app now, found on Whatsapp website under Package Installer link (it is a multi APK with arm7 and arm8 included). Unlike the modded beta the app will be shown in square however, but fully functional, and not expiring.

Hello! do you happen to know where this guy Joao originally released this version you posted and its updates? It's a quite more convenient mod than the regular apk since you don't have to modify dpi in the watch to syncronise with your account. On top of that it was modded to be fully displayed in the watch screen, not like the other versions which are cropped with the rounded screen making elements not completely available. Also he introduced some mod to open the apk from native notifications in watch...
For some reasons it seems to have been discontinued and it is not release into telegram groups etc.
