Hi guys sorry if this is a silly question but I am wondering if the accelerometer on the Sony Smartwatch 2 is activated on the default firmware. I know the Pebble's wasn't until the recent update. According to reading there definitely seems to be one: https://developer.sony.com/develop/wearables/smartwatch-2-apis/guides/hardware-specifications/ but I haven't found an application that actually uses it.
Is it possible to to use it to track your steps via the accelerometer without having to have the phone in your pocket (but obviously having to be within Bluetooth range)?
Unless perhaps my accelerometer on my specific SW2 is broken.
Thanks in advance!
If you download the examples from Sony for developing for SW2, there is an axample app for the sensor.
Anyway the sensibility of the sensor only makes it suitable for detecting movement and turn on screen accordingly and no much more I guess
It's active. I know of 3 apps off the top of my head that use it. Yes, it can be used as a step counter. I know of one app that uses it for that, but it only works when the app is open.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which app it is that counts steps?
According to the attached picture extracted from the Sony site there is definitely an accelerometer capable of being a pedometer. The app I have (walkmate) only counts my step with my phone in my pocket - i.e. it is only using the watch as a display and not a counter.

I search for app with video capture of my display. Does it exists?
Only if you have root, in which case you can use the app Screencast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tcy5zY3JlZW5jYXN0Il0.
There is a demo app here (but it really is limited) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ms.screencastfree&feature=more_from_developer
You may find you need to tell the settings to record in a higher resolution to make it work.

Does anyone know of a setting or anything that would keep the compass from working? I've tried doing a hard reset twice now and it still won't work. I may try returning it and getting another watch if I can't get it to work.
There is no compass.

I swear I used to be able to use a watch face with a compass and it would work just fine. Also would work with compass apps on the phone.

Can confirm, there is really no compass. No use in getting the watch replaced.
Which watchface were you using?
Dark suite and classic watch faces have compass. You guys are silly hehehehe
Hi guys,
I would like to know if there's a possibility to display the battery status of a connected Bluetooth device on the Oneplus 3? Natively or via a third party app? Ideally for me, it should work on the stock ROM but if necessary I would flash a custom one if it would only be possible that way.
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi
Check an app called BatON (by limitium)
Have not used it personally though.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work with my specific pair of headphones :/ If that means that they don't send battery information to the phone I probably can't get it to work with any solution.

Sorry to hear that.
FWIW after suggesting the app to you, I did try it out. It seemed to work with my pair of blue tooth headphones during the limited time I used it..
Going by the comments about the app in the play store, it looks like the usage is limited based on the manufacturer of the blue tooth device....
Just to close this topic: This feature was released in Open Beta 19 and for me it works great!
how to enable that??? by default its not showing when connected......... im on latest beta

How do you activate it? I have a watch connected and it's not showing anything
I didn't have to activate it. For me it just worked. Your Bluetooth device still has to support sending its battery information to the phone. In this months Open Beta update there were some fixes for this feature. Maybe it works for you now?
Edit: grammar
my phone does not flash when I take a picture even with the flash enable or in auto.
Can you try using a Flashlight or similar app to check whether flash turns on as torch?

Cool. Then its not a hardware issue. You can try reinstalling the camera app (If u have not already tried it).

How long ago did it stop working, was it after a update?
Just double checking. The flashlight works every time.... and if not you tried the hardware test right? This was a known issue on the 920's

the material does not have problem, it is at the level of the capture of the picture that it does not flash since in video mode it works perfectly.

yes I have done uninstall it and then reinstall.
You are basically taking shots in the dark on this (no pun intended)
Maybe list out all the things you have done, what OS version, and update the issue started occuring....not sure who can offer help on this or what you are willing to do.
Go back to 8.1 if you cannot figure it out. Swap the back cover just to see...
I can think of only 3 scenarios:
-OS update caused
-App udpate caused
-Signs of Hardware degredation--meaning to turn torch on takes different voltage/amps then a burst (camera flash), or is triggered differently. Maybe something on the board is not working right in conjunction with the app. If you rollback to 8.0 you will know for sure on this.
it was after a update.

Does the UI still limit the amount of apps you can autostart? And you probably still have to log in to a vivo account to change launcher too?

i've logged-in to Vivo Account but for curiosity and not for other things. Still don't tried to change launcher because the stock here is pretty perfect and customizable .
I can receive notifications from all apps here and never had locked them in multitasking. Only need to grant all authorizations under settings

That's good to know about notifications, I just hate not having a app drawer lol
Thing that i don't like is that Google Pay it seems to not be supported.
I have an error when i try to finalize the registration. So no contactless options out there.
Maybe depends from Google License missed here ?

Ive never bought anything from Giztop before. Do you recommend? Also, do they open up the phones to inspect them? I know you said it was the Chinese version and it didnt come with playstore, so I assume it was preopened. I prefer that my phones arent opened by someone else.
