Has anyone managed to get a Fitbit working on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014? Wife brought herself the new note plus a Fitbit One but it doesn't show in devices and there's no way to sync it. Strangely the Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as a compatable device on the Fitbit website but guess that must be the 2012 model as this thing just won't connect as it doesn't appear in the devices bluetooth menu. I can't understand it though, as it has Android 4.3 and Bluetooth 4.0 so it should work, but no joy. I've tried emailing Fitbit support but they don't seem to be understanding the problem, and just insisting to restart the Fitbit. My Xperia Z however picks it up no bother.

I have it working with Note 8, didn't try with 10.1. It doesn't show under bluetooth options, you don't pair like other devices. Install their app, follow instructions within it to connect.
Update:
I got it working by using the all devices app mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492436
By the looks of it they are configuring the device setup menu to appear on a per model basis, as the new device menu would not appear on the official store app. However the performance is pretty poor and the tablet seemed to suffer some slow down shortly after, so ended up uninstalling it again! My conclusion is Android is great in some respects and I love using it, but third party accessory support can be patchy when compared to Apple.
I have excitedly been reading that the very recent update of the chromecast app enables the long awaited Multiroom function but for the life of me I cannot work out how to use it.
Can anyone help?
I have now noticed that in the device settings of one of my 3 Chromecast Audios I now have a new settings called "Group Delay Correction". I assume this will appear on the other as the units themselves are updated......
I'm in the same boat and find it frustrating to read all about it everywhere but can't seem to make it work now that I'm home.
Its really weird, I could not set up the group on my android phone (one plus one), but was able to create a group on my iPad. The feature works well, just could not do initial set up on my phone.
Well, both of my other CCAs updated to 1.17a overnight but I still cannot see an option to create a group...... Gah!
I've managed to set up groups using my wifes Sony Z3 Compact after not being able to on my Lg G3, my Samsung Tab Pro and my daughters HTC One X! I still cannot see the groups on any device other than my wifes phone.
@quinto0827 Are you able to see the groups on all devices now?

Further to the above, I have just uninstalled the chromecast app on my G3, turned the phone off for a bit and when I turned it back on and reinstalled the app all the new groups were there and all the new functions.
Happy.
Does the multiroom feature work well? Can a regular chromecast be added to a cast group?
No only chromecast audio
I'm using Android Wear with my LG Urbane 2nd Edition paired to my ZenFone 2. The LGU2 is able to pair/connect with the phone using Wi-Fi or Cell data (using the SIM in the watch). Since I've updated to the newest firmware, this cloud sync feature doesn't work at all. I've had no issues with this for the 9 months I've had my watch until now. I unpaired my watch and paired with a different Android phone and the cloud sync feature worked. Did Cloud Sync stop working for anyone else using a AW watch?
Hello
I am new to your site, so i hope this is ok to post here.
Please help........I fell for a beautiful all singing all dancing Sony SW2 on ebay, unfortunatly Sony tell me that the SW2 is a no longer a product supported by Sony and that is why the Smart Connect app is available but not the Sony Smartwatch 2 Host. The watch does say it is connected to my Xperia L3 and vise versa but it is not responsive at all to the phone. and if i turn the watch off then on again it just asks me for the SW2 host again.
Is there a way of over riding the watches request for the host app or have i just paid £42 for a lovely looking calculater watch?
Thank you all in advance.

You can search "sony sw2" on the playstore. There are still many apps

Hi
I still face the same issue, even I installed the apk you gave us, i cannot open it or launch it What can I do it's for a gift
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Same issue here. Just gave it to my son. He has OnePlus 3. Sony actually hosts the APK file on their site, but when I install it, you can only hit "Done", as "Open" is grayed out. There is nothing in the app drawer, and nothing under internal storage/Android/data
Master app is the "Sony Smart Connect" the "Smartwatch SW2" app is only a plugin for the master app.

But not all "Smart Connect App" works with all phone/watch/plugin. I must often install older Smart Connect Version depend of phone and Android version. Not special rules, I must try differents versions from my differents backup until it works. It is the game with older device and older software on older or newest phone and OS
I just found this site and downloaded your backup but how do I get it to my smartwatch2? I tried plugging the usb cord from the watch to my pc but nothing registers under "My Computer" to be able to transfer a file?
Is there any apps/extensions who still works on Sony smartwatch 2? I just have the five basic apps(alarm, flashlight, calculator, stop watch and timer. I have tried to install several apps/extensions but nothing have been synced to the watch so that I could use them
Almost all works. Just need use old Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 plugin.
I use Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001
and Smartwatch 2 app V 1.6.31
this works on Android 11
Hello everyone! Extensions don't seem to show on the app after being installed. I'm using a Galaxy A50 on Android 10 / OneUI 2.5, any clue?

Thank you for the reply, I have both of those apps with exact same version as you wrote, what extensions do you use at your watch?

You're a lifesaver. Just got it working on android Q. Thanks!
If it helps anyone : I had installed first the Sony Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001, then tried connecting to the watch, then installed the apk Smartwatch2 app V1.6.31 from Sony's website.
It did not work, even after a reboot, because the Smart connect was still trying to install the plugin.
I removed and reinstalled the Sony Smart Connect app and rebooted the phone : it recognized the plugin automatically.
So I would say : try installing the SmartWatch2 host apk first, then the Smart Connect app from the store.
Hi. Is there a call app available? Don't need to answer, just want to see who's calling when a call comes in, I answer on my headset. Really desperate, does anybody have any info? Thanks

Informer - Notifications for Sony SW2This app is the only one I found that displayed missed calls etc. It's rather unreliable for me. Try it yourself.

Thanks, I've downloaded it. Quite good but doesn't really seem to do calls. I went on to Sony and they seem to have the calling apk but I can't get it to work. Does it work for anyone else?

I bought this watch 2 days ago, having a nightmare with it. Hours and hours trying to make it work at my Samsung 10. Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch App installed and paring with the phone. The problem is that as I could search on the web, the native apps provided in Sony's website just work with Sony smartphones. At the end of the day it is a useless smartwatch if you expect it to at least have the Calling Function.
Hi guys
So, I've recently picked up my 8 year old Sony SmartWatch 2 and some wristbands for it since mine constantly self destroyed themselves, being the reason i stopped using the watch in 2017 or so.
So, I use a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with android 10 and one ui 2.0 and I installed the Smart connect version 5.7.35.0001 as recommended in one of the posts here I believe and I've sideloaded the Smartwatch 2 host app both found on sony's website (https://www.sony.com/electronics/su...es-xperia-smart-devices/sw2/articles/00241423) and one found on the same post in XDA that i saw for the companion app. The thing is, I can't get the text companion app (the official one) to show up on the watch and on the host app after being sideloaded, neither the gmail, the call manager and anything at all.
I've tried anything from resetting the watch a bunch of times to installing older versions of the host and smart connect app, but i still can't get it to work.
Can anyone help me please? I really like this watch
