Please feel free to share issues, questions and offer help
It is always best to thank the manufacturer, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP​

Streaming music over bluetooth, does the Ionic support APT-X codec? If not what is the best format for music supported for streaming, would it be AAC? Currently I use my Jlabs epic 2's with my ionic and they seem to work, but wondering if I could garner any improvements moving from mp3 to aac?

Hmm popular device...

It's IMHO logical that the Ionic is a popular device. Fitbit devices have always been the best fitness trackers and now, after buying Pebble, it produced also it's first smartwatch. And for a first attempt to create a Fitbit smartwach, it succeeded very well. Although all smartwatch feaures are relatively limited on the Ionic, those who are implicated work very well, like the notifications from your smartphone, the weather app (unless Accuweather does not function well), etc. I'm convinced that the succersor of the Ionic will even be much better and we will get the best of both worlds.

Is Ionic waterproof? what's it's ATM rate?
I live in tropical weather type and it's always wet here. I'm a runner and I need new smartwatch now.

It's waterproof to 50 meters. Have taken a shower with mine multiple times and it's still fine as expected. ?

I'm interested in how many days between charges, people are getting.
The specs say 4+ days...

Mine seems to use around 50% every 2 to 3 days, depending on how many times I work out. Impressed with the battery life.

Yes, Showering and swimming are two very different water exposures .
Water Resistant is basically splash proof, like a shower.
Waterproof has a pressure rating, submerged to a certain depth.

Cannot add wallet icon into Fitbit app. Ionic added, but not app. Los 14 nigel. Root. Magisk hide activated to hide root to Fitbit app. Changing location is not fixing problem. Can anyone help me?

When you press the wallet icon on your Ionic, it says to push and hold the left button to pay. Doing that, it then says to add your cardnumber in the wallet app on your mobile device. Tried that, alas no luck. See this topic in the Fitbit Community: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Ionic/Fitbit-Wallet/m-p/2222812#M4283. If this link does not work, go to Fitbit's Home page, register and after that log in. After having done that you will see a tab called Community. Press that and go to the Help section, choose Ionic and type in the search box: "Fitbit Wallet". Good luck,
kindest regards, kuzibri

ionic wallet
The wallet feature is in the newest update.. Sync your device from your phone and wallet should be added. I was reading on another forum someone had the same problem, syncing using the newest update solved the problem.

If you want a real Smartwatch
Hi all,
despite the introduction of the Fitbit Versa (no GPS) and the Apple watch series 4, IMHO the Fitbit Ionic is still the best and most powerfull smartwatch available at this very moment. Why:
1. It's compatible with Android and iOS
2. The battery still is the best around. Apple watch is approximately 1 to 2 days (when you have luck), while the Ionic lasts at least 6 to 7 days, whilst continously wearing.
3. It's very fast, the screen is very bright and there are a lot of third party apps to install.
Kindest regards, kuzibri

From what I see in your added picture, there is indeed no wallet. A way to solve that is (from within the Fitbit app on your Smartphone):
1. Press apps
2. After that you will get a screen with Fitbit apps on the left side and third party apps on the right side.
3. Scroll within the Fitbit apps and look for Wallet. If present in the list, push the settings button on the right side of the screen.
4. When you get the notification that it's already installed, press the remove button.
5. Reinstall it again and it should appear on the screen you added to your post.
Mind you: As for now, Wallet is only functioning within the USA and some UK banks.
kindest regards, kuzibri

edit:Nah, the previously posted user has a whole army of CM's. mmh...
wonder why its incompatible with my galaxy s4 .
Hi,
When you guys say its not compatible do you mean it won't let you download from Google Play?
I have loads of Galaxy S4 users and CM users, so I'm not sure why you are experiencing this issue. If you can give me any more information I'll try and sort it!
You could always grab the apk from the website link if you're interested in trying it in the mean time.

Also to add, if you are seeing any crash issues with 2.1.4. I have a couple of known issues which I have a fix for. I plan to release 2.1.5 tomorrow at the latest with this fix in, so please bare with me.
WiFi scanning with WiFi off
GREAT app!
Would it be possible to trigger "WiFi SSID Transition" events when WiFi is off with Android 4.3's "scanning always availible" feature? That would be really nice (e.g. only turning WiFi on if a specific SSID is available)
It should certainly be possible. I'll add it to my longish TODO list and it will probably rise up the priority as 4.3 takeup becomes more widespread.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi! Very nice app! I played with it just a few minutes, but the list of triggers/actions is impressive! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
If i'm allowed to, I have a suggestion: what about allowing the user to execut a shell script (.sh) on a trigger? Maybe it could be useful for advanced users and low level actions.
Have a nice day.

You should be able to do this with the Launch Shortcut action using a third party app such as Secure Settings. It would certainly be nice for advanced users to be able to do it directly from MacroDroid so I'll add it to the TODO list.

Ah ok that makes sense, I've not tested on a device without Google Play installed as I've never before made the apk available via any other means. I'm guessing there is some dependency due to all the in-app purchase stuff that prevents it working. I'll try and look into it and see if there is any easy way to get over this.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Just a gentle reminder that if you like the app, could you please take a few moments to leave a rating on Google Play. It really helps me out a lot and its very hard to maintain a high rating because people are only to quick to leave a bad review if they hit a problem or don't like something.
If you do hit problems then please let me know before leaving a 1 star as I will always do everything I can to resolve any issues.
Many thanks,
Jamie
Done!
Thanks for such a great app!

Hi, I've been searching for an app that manages events, meetings, and all sorts of parties, with infinite different combinations of features needed from sending invites, remote/onsite checkins, web/database/calendar integration, tracking participants' locations and time stamps, history, etc., etc.... Anyone have a first hand knowledge of such an app that has served you well? Any leads would be appreciated.... Thanks!

There are a number of event planning apps on the google play store, for example Super Planner. Just search for "event planner" or "event planning." Since you want a lot, maybe two of them together will give you everything you need. If you are already using a desktop application to track all of these things, you can ask those developers if they are planning or already have integration for mobile devices. This would be a great solution if the desktop and the mobile device could be sync'd.

Exactly... we are still looking, there are SO many, and so many are just basic crap, just takes time... there are a couple of good ones but yes, desktop/PC integration would great... just thought someone could save me hours of time "testing" the good and bad event apps, its a tedious process, not exactly like testing a new game from the Amazon FAOTD where u know in 30 seconds whether u wanna keep it or not... to be continued.............
I love the old school video game emulators. With that said, fpse is boss. Wish someone could do a ps2 emulator.. also why doesn't the tw weather widget work in any other launcher? The AccuWeather one that is.
My favorite game is color sheep, very addictive and requise you to think very fast and distinct between different colors.
My favorite app is Google keep, the best notes app i know, very very simple.

Exactly, that's the point. The Google Playstore has got so many apps now, and even Google is failing to keep count of, and track, the numerous apps. Many apps have promising features, and when you install them, they are just crap. Either hanging your phone or doing some other ****ty thing. Only a handful apps deliver what we can call satisfactory. Eg, I was using ES File Explorer, and when I read so many thumb-up sort of reviews abt the astro file explorer. I installed it, and I found it to be crap. I reverted back to es, and now they've released a more awesome version of es file explorer.
While I don't have what you're searching for, but I agree that we have to go through a helluva testing time only to find that an app is pure crap.....

Don't have an hour or even twenty minutes to exercise each day? You might not need it. This routine of 12 exercises is a complete workout based on the latest fitness research—and it only takes 7 minutes.
The app - 7 Minute Workout App - offers a step-by-step guide to both 7-minute workouts, offering animated illustrations of the exercises, as well as a timer and audio cues to help you get the most out of your seven minutes.
As with other short, but highly efficient exercises, this routine is based on interval training, where you're combining intense activity with brief recovery periods. We've seen interval training touted before as the most efficient type of exercise. You could do it with cycling, but this workout is an alternative guide and you can do it basically anywhere with almost no equipment.
7 Minute Workout App features the following:
*** Beautiful character and UI design
*** Voice guild you when you need to start workout or rest
*** Ability to pause the workout
*** Select between The Scientific 7-Minute Workout or The Advanced 7-Minute Workout
Download Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hazuu.sevenminuteworkout

I really like your app
Unfortunately, on my nexus 5 with lollipop it still goes to sleep.
I would also like to have a nice overview or little background information in the app. I let it run the first time the entire 7 minutes to know what equipment I need and what to exspect.
The high knees graphics still looks a bit strange to me
Keep on going, I will try it the next weeks

There's an app available in the Gear store called "Philips Hue Remote" for $5 U.S. (so you probably need a Samsung phone to access it). Have not tried it; the developer listed is Philipe Wechsler.
Is there any posibility to access the full store with my Oneplus 2?

Hi there,
I am the developer of the one and only app currently available in the store and you do not need a Samsung phone as it is an standalone app! Right now the app has everything you'd expect from it, but there will be some significant updates over the coming weeks and months. If you miss something or if you have ideas for an improvement please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thx!

I installed the Gear apps not from the playstore because they were incompatible. I only installed the apk's.
In my Gear-Store i can only see free apps.

Right now the app has everything you'd expect from it, but there will be some significant updates over the coming weeks and months. If you miss something or if you have ideas for an improvement please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thx!

Hi Philippe. As the developer of a great looking app I suggest you petition Samsung to provide non-Samsung phones with access to paid gear apps.
Potential revenue for you and other devs lost because they've placed these restrictions.
Cheers.

Hi everyone,
I'll do that for sure, as it is not really an acceptable situation for users as well as for developers. Do you have any sources describing the issue or how did you find out?
Thx

How are groups created? it shows that I have 2 groups with what appears to be a generated name of letters and numbers the the groups have one light each. How do I go about removing those groups and create new ones?

Right now you cannot create groups or scenes from the app, but if you create them with the philips hue app on the smartphone, you'll able to see them on your gear as well. In a future version (not too far away!) you'll able to create groups and scenes from the gear as well. Removing/hiding apps might get supported as well later, but first there will be an big update where the homesceen can be customized directly, i.e you will be able to select and sort lights/groups/scenes and other functions you see on the homescreen.
Hi
installation failed. Says connection to Gear is needed. But the gear (s2 classic) ist connected as
any other app is working. Even disconnect and reconnect doesn't work. Any idea ?

Gear needs to be restarted. After having found out that the memory couldn't be calculated I restarted the watch.

Thanks, You're right, I hope they fix it soon. The app ecosystem is presently so fragmented and unsupported that it undermines the worth of an otherwise amazing device.
It's an often reported issue on XDA. Here's a recent thread describing the issue but the problem is also mentioned elsewhere:

Hi Philippe, I just downloaded this app. Works well and looks outstanding! I thought I was going to have to wait for Samsung to release their SmartThings app before I'd be able to control my lights with my S2; So glad that's not the case.
For reference, I have 14 hue bulbs and several groups, including light strips, blooms, and a pile of A19s. You should post this app on https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/, I'm sure others would be interested as well.
Paid apps availability
Hi guys,
I conntacted Samsung about the issue with the paid apps and non Samsung smartphones. The answer is as expected a bit odd:
"Regarding your inquiry, we would regrettably inform you that only free application could be downloaded on a non-Samsung device, and paid applications will be available in the future.​" ..and some usual blabla.
However I just submited the first update for my app and in the section where the applicable devices can be selected to new Items have appeared:
- "Non Samsung Phone (Android)"
- "Non Samsung Phone (iOS)"
So I have no idea when exactly paid gear apps will be available to all users, but I guess it cannot be too long. In fact I hope that this will even be the case when the update gets available, we'll see

That was my first thought too, but then I'd had to purchase a SmartThings Hub which is not even available in my country so I decided to do it by mself I sure will post it there as soon as I've setup an appropriate page.
Nice setup! Please tell me if you need some additional features as I can imagine you'll need some extra functionality to handle so many lights as you have.
Hi,
I'm waiting for my Gear S2 classic to arrive and I'm wondering if this app or if there is another app for LiFX smart bulbs? I could use TaskS2 app but like the idea of using the bezel to control brightness.

My app does currently not support LiFX and as far as I know there is no other app for this. I've just looked at the LiFX api and I could actually add support for LiFX (or maybe another app). For now I do have other plans, but when the demand for LiFX gets big enough I'll consider adding support for them as well...

Fair enough I doubt the demand would get high enough it's not as popular as philips hue sadly. How difficult would it be for me to try and code it as I doubt anyone would produce an app for lifx sadly.

Hello,
as a owner of Philips Hue i would like to control the system with my Gear S2.
Is there any app to do this?

If you are familiar with tasker, then the gear s2 has a tasker plug in app that works and you may be able to use phillips hue through that

With wemo i created ifttt recipes and send a text from watch that controls the lights. I set the key words in quick reply

Great App! Thank you for making it Awesome interface!
PS I'd gladly buy you a few beers for making a nest thermostat app Im so frustrated with the lack of apps for the gear s2 I'm considering attempting it myself but i really dont like javascript.

My first IWC-like military watchface with adaptive luminophore

Hello there,
I'd like to present my first military watchface (native app) with a realistic luminophore light and a ticking sound.
Initially I created it for myself, because I didn't find anything that would satifsy me in the Galaxy Apps store. So now I'd like to share it with people.
I'm a big fan of devices with a luminophore, so I wanted to recreate this thing for my Gear S3 because this device (as so the rest Gear devices) has an integrated ambient light sensor, so adjusting the watchface image based on the light sensor was definitely an option.
I also decided to add a watch ticking sound (you can disable it on the Settings screen) to make it feel like a real watch.
Right now you can launch three apps from the watchface: built-in calendar, timer (Samsung Timer App, make sure it's installed), and a battery percentage screen.
This is a first version of the watchface. Please check it and share your opinion, I would appreciate that, because my goal is to collect some feedback.
The app will work on Gear S2 (lo-color AOD mode supported), Gear S3, Galaxy Watch, and on everything with 360x360px resolution.
The watchface is a paid app, but I'd like to share free coupons for people who will post here until the end of the week.
Samsung has a really weird coupons system, so I have to send coupons individually (if I understand that corrrectly).
So everyone who wants a free install please reach me out here or using a PM and share your country (yes, for some reason coupons work only for specific countries, "thanks" to Samsung) and I will PM you back with a coupon code.
Also, please rate the application if possible.
Thanks!

I'm with you!
Jacob,
I very much like this watch face, its clean yet functional, and the transition from bright ambient to dark ambient is very cool. I'm not sure I'm going to be thrilled with the optional tick, but thank you for making it optional!

This looks amazing, and its really cool of you to give it out for free to users. What are these type of watch faces called exactly? (I want to find more like these) Is it possible to make such watchface using watchmaker?
Shamsheer,

Though CSC of the watch is set to XAR (USA) so not sure what store I use...

Hey Shamsheer! Thanks for your reply!
XDA has a limitation for new users, so I can't post the external links for the app.
The model name for this watch face is MILSIM A-1.
I created this watch face based on IWC and Fortis designs (and some soviet military watches like ACHS-1).
Try to google IWC Top Gun, Fortis B-42 Marinemaster and ACHS-1 (soviet aircraft watch)
My watchface is not a full copy, but an exclusive design based on top of these three watches.
I'm not sure about Watchmaker, but you probably won't be able to create this transition effect in GWD and Watchmaker because they don't provide such capabilities. That was the reason why I made it as a Tizen Native app.
Please rate the app if you like it! I'd like to collect as much feedback as possible to understand what I can improve
Thanks!

Excellent work on this one. It looks great! And I commend you on working in Tizen, it looks a little overwhelming to me
It looks really good. It is nice to see people developing in tizen, GWD is quite limited in complications, access to sensors, etc. Good work.

I like the looks of this watch face, and to echo what others have said easy to read without to much information my country is USA.Thank you!
Great looking watch face! I'm in Canada.
I love the luminescent effect. I'd love a code for this. I'm from Canada. Thanks.
look nice...like the AOD design too.....I'd love a code for this. I'm from Singapore. Thanks.
Wow, looks so cool, would like to wear it also

I bought this clockface yesterday and today you give away coupons for free
This is really awesome, I just got my Samsung Gear watch for my birthday for myself yesterday. I would love to try this out, I am in the U.S.
Love the watchface! The lumninescence reminds me of Panarai. I'd love a coupon, if you please. I'm in the UK.
Hello.
1 tip for improvement:
When I touch the screen and drag to the right side (to see the pending notifications) the battery status screen is opened. The program should be able to distinguish a touch from a drag event.
Being living with it for a week and it is great. The luminescence effect is super smooth and, believe it or not, doesn't affect battery life too much.
The ticking sound is something interesting ... to try for half an hour.... It is dependent on the media volume, so it is usually too loud. Oh, and it is on while charging.
Other than that, perfect. It will be my default watchface for a while.
