The best smart watch for the One X

I was initially intending to purchase Sony's Smartwatch, but am concerned by it's compatibility with the One X - does anyone here own both products?
Upon further research and am now thinking this may be a better alternative: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android/
What do you think?

I'm a backer.
Think that thing is going to be amazing...

Only thing putting me off is that it won't be out for another 6 months and I'm very impatient

cool, hopefully out for my birthday in Oct, looks awesome

Personally, if I was going to get a "watch" for my phone, I would go for this:

I want this too, but there's no guarantee on the release date. Last time this company did a kickstarter it took them almost a year to produce and ship the device. More info on the on the phonedog website.

looks really cool

Tempted to get one of these

Let's wait
This one is VERY expensive!!!
I think I'm going to wait for the Pebble smartwatch as an ultimatum, and if something worthy comes out in the meantime, I'll get it.

The sony smartwatch DOES work just fine with the HTC One X, but it does not support email notification for HTC's email app as each vendor makes their own email app. I am sure at some point someone will come up with an HTC compatible notifier as it has an open API. Someone has written one for Gmail.

i use a motoactvhttps://motoactv.com/ this the best option if your the sporty type its the only one that has gps and it link up to hart rate,speed and step sensors as well as your phone. it also has 8 or 16 gig for music.

You guys havent come across this one yet ...
HAVE YOU

Hev you read the OP?

I know every technology needs it's first users... But isn't this a little soon for that type of things ?
My points are :
- My new One X with a quadcore, a camera,etc... will be thinner than my watch
- Having to reload it every night or so will be a pain
- It's ridiculously expensive
- What will it bring ? If you see you have a mail or a SMS, you'll check it on the large beautiful screen of your phone
(BUT, if they were less expesive, I'd definitively buy one of thoose )

Yep I ordered the Pebble, I know people with the Sony Smartwatch and the imWatch, which are ust too big and need frequent charging. The Pebble is most importantly a watch with other functions secondary.

I just bought the Sony ericsson LiveView watch.
What a crap! Don't buy.. Loosing connection intermitently..
Perhaps im not using SE phone, that's why..

LiveView's the old version? Do you mean the smart watch?

There are no intermittent connection issues with the Smartwatch. The original Live View watch DID have lots of connection problems even with Sony Ericsson phones!

just put an order in for the sony smart watch

stay away from Sony Liveview. Tons of problems...

[Bounty] Fm Radio and Transmitter

As you may know the Galaxy Nexus sports a Broadcom BCM4330 which is capable of Bluetooth, Wifi, and FM tuning and transmitting. I hereby propose a bounty for a hardware/software modder to make these functionalities work. As of now the need for an internal antenna is a major hurdle for some people. I personally don't mind opening up my device and installing one as long as there are clear instructions on how to do so.
I am willing to donate $400 USD to a dev that can get either transmitting or receiving working

I think it is a neat idea.Good luck..I'm not the developer.

Does FM work with headphones?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Your wanting to do this for transmitting purposes and not so you can listen to fm radio right? Because you can use TuneIn Radio for FM.

I also would like to see this because of several reasons. First, streaming apps need internet (obviously) and I don't have data. I run on prepaid and only use wifi at home and school to save money (I'm a student). Second, FM radio was the one thing that one of my friends required for a new phone. Obviously I want him to get the great Galaxy Nexus.
If anyone would be able to get this working with either an internal antenna, or (more ideally) using the headphone wires as an antenna, that would be great.

Hi,
Sorry if I did not clearly understand all,but maybe take a look at this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296&highlight=fmradio
But it seems it's not possible:
These devices will likely never be able to support FM with Spirit or any FM app:
- Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus

@DroidMahn:if you talk about the FM radio (listening).

That would definitely be awesome. I don't have an Aux port or a tape player in my car so I always wanted to be able to just tune my radio to a channel and hear music from it without plugging my phone into anything.

clarified my post xD

Very interesting, hopefully someone gets this working.

I'm in the exact same boat...erm, crappy car. Badass phone, POS car.
The stock head unit is integrated with dashboard so its not easy to swap a new one.
Also willing to open up my Gnex and solder to test an antenna, just need an EE to tell me which leads....

Wouldn't make more sense to buy a bluetooth FM headphone and an FM transmitter?

http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Unive...L2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1337776603&sr=8-13
Or something that have both functions like this:

$400?! You ARE such a generous gentleman.
I really hope this going to happen. I hate to use radio apps to listen to music due to my 2GB Highspeed Cap. FM receiver/transmitter feature is needed.

I'll throw in $40 to make it happen. I just want as many features as possible

I brought a wireless FM Transmitter for £10...I don't get it :/ All seems hassle for a few quid and a bit of shopping...

Lol
Ill sell you my droid x2 that has fm radio working in it for $400
From my nexus tappin the talk
<edit post successful>

I've bought an FM-sender that plugs into the cigarette-lighter-output in the car, which connects to the phone via 3.5mm jack. The sender also has output for USB, which lets me charge the phone at the same time. I payed 150 NOK for that, which is about $30. Should be something like that in your american Wallmarts as well!

The phone is capale of transmission on the fm band by any developer so inclined to create it. This is the very essence of nexus class development. If your solution to the bounty on this thread is to suggest buying external hardware , you are really missing the point .

Don't think its the bounty anyone is interested in, just why the bother and hassle when external solutions exist at a fraction of the price? Very capable ones at that.

But the whole point of the thread is to unlock the full capability of the hardware we own.
Not to buy another product to do a job that in theory our phone can already do.
I have a feeling its a big job and next to near impossible to accomplish but I'm willing to throw some money into the pot if a dev gets this done.
Just to prove it can be done at least.
This kind of thing is why I love android and nexus, doing something that isn't supposed to be done.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing happen that, by rights, shouldn't. That's the joy of Android. All I'm questioning and wondering, and not in a bad way just a quizical way, I'm assuming the op is throwing in $400 to encourage the development of the FM transmitter. If so, why a relatively large amount for a device that can be brought for a fraction of the price? Is there really a $390 benefit to have it built in?

What car chargers works flawlessly with the M7 ?

Bought a couple... Get the incompatibility message on the screen
Anything that works for sure from your experience ?

Which one did you get (link?), just curious why they didn't work. I typically used all kinds of android and apple chargers with my Note 2, but as you know Samsung likes to make it universal (and also to p!ss off Apple ). I don't have experience with HTC One, but probably going with brand names like Anker where it has one port specific for Apple and the other one for Android. Perhaps the one you got before was "universal" with apple port so your HTC One didn't like it?

ANT+?

Would anyone with an M8 be able to say whether or not they have ANT+ connectivity?
I know the spec sheets don't mention it. I also know of some other handsets which had ANT+ even though it wasn't shown in the spec sheets.
I know there won't be many others like me but it is a kind of deal breaker for me. Bluetooth 4 doesn't quite hack it when trying to sync to multiple devices.

Had a search can't find ant+ sorry buddy
Unless I'm blind lol

Hardware is there, it just needs the software added: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/ref-devices-ant-hardware-t2879990

[Q] Bluetooth Heart rate monitor support?

Hi there guys,
I'm thinking of purchase a bluetooth heart rate monitor but all of them say that they need Android 4.3(not a problem) and Bluetooth 4.0. Our phones don't have bluetooth 4.0 (not even close)
Does anyone know if it will work? ..is should have compatibility but I don't know for sure. Anyone tried that before or had a friend who tried it?

no one has an experience with that? ..oh dear, probably I'll be the only one to try this

Well, I've moved on to the GNex and according to the spec sheet, it has the BT 4.0. However, it never receved the SW to support it. The BT 4.0 devices just wouldn't work with it... Some did however, but only via BT 2.x... There had been enormous work done to enable 4.0 and now it can be enabled.
The best way to go about your purcuse is to ask the sailsmen to tryout the device and try to pair it with your phone. If it works, buy it, if not, skip it

I'm in a small city so try before you buy is out of question. I did the purchase ..when it comes(15-30 days ..China ) I'll test it
If it doesn't work, I'll test it with a friend's note 2 and see what happens, it should work at least with note 2 as it has BT 4.0
P.S. If oneplus one becomes available, I'll retire my DHD :victory: (also Oneplus one has BT4.1)
