hello,
I have the SW3 only since yesterday, but unfortunately I have found many things that make the clock for me not usable. Maybe you will also find solutions to the problems !?
1. Display activation can not be set:
The display of SW3 always goes on when I move my wrist or tap on it. Can you disable that somewhere ??
I go to swim with the clock and every time you touch a drop of water, the clock goes on and there are things unintentionally started.
This is really annoying ...
2. No Sleep recording and no Lifelog functions
As a previous user of a smart band, I do not want to miss the sleep recording and according to the information and work with the SW3. unfortunately
works Lifelog not on the clock and the sleep recording does not work.
Only about Google Fit the steps are counted ...
So I can also display any things from Lifelog leave me like calories, etc ...
3. GPS smartphone without
Currently possible only with the Google My Tracks app. With reasonable Running apps like Endomondo or Runtastic does not work. Here needs to be the Smartphone in the near!
This is really bad! Here probably need to update the app maker.
4. retrieve emails
New incoming emails are displayed, but you can not open the email app on the SW3. I have disabled notifications for mails on the smartphone, but i want to read it on the watch. That is I can not read about the SW3 mails therefore unfortunately. This was for me a reason to buy, and now is not there ...
5. SW3 use as an alarm clock
I would like to use the SW3 as an alarm clock. However, only with vibration. But my phone is not connected in the near or not with the Watch.
Does not work for me also.
In connection with the fact that the charging jack is really a disaster and very very awkward - I'm considering to send the watch back.
Really a shame because the SW3 would have had huge potential ...
Do you have the same problems or Let us understand this or is it one or the other perhaps solutions?
greeting
Deifel
1. Display activation can not be set:
**Agree. Didn't expect that from a smart watch that is announced as water proof.
2. No Sleep recording and no Lifelog functions
**I use Sleep like a Droid. It works great.
3. GPS smartphone without
**This is the first smart watch with GPS. I'm sure soon all those apps will support it.
4. retrieve emails
**I can read full emails in gmail. Are you using a different client?
5. SW3 use as an alarm clock
** I recharge it in the office. Takes about 30minutes. So I sleep with my watch to monitor my sleep
"In connection with the fact that the charging jack is really a disaster and very very awkward - I'm considering to send the watch back.

** awkward indeed. I'm sure soon we'll see charging docks. I'm considering using the original package box for it. But as i charge it in my Office desk, not a big deal.
lack of lifelog sleep was disappointing (may come later when we get a sw50 sony app?)
I use "sleep as android" (SaA) now as it has native android wear support and seems to work well - compared smartband deepsleep stats vs sw3 with SaA and it seem to match up.

beside that very much enjoy sw3 ~ sideloaded some apps over Bluetooth adb to make watch more usable and fun (launcher, calc, games etc, eve towelroot lol). unlocked bootloader so now eagerly awaiting a rom (or about to learn how to build one)
I thought the usb connection "awkwardness" was just me.. yep it'll slowly drive me nuts if we have to charge these things every 24hrs or so (with my usage anyway) with this horrible connection.. see what happens I guess.
having only had a galaxy gear 1 (both os's + custom roms) that I didnt enjoy I can't really complain about much more rhan above really ~ pleasantly surprised and enjoying thoroughly (4 days in)

You can try the Showear app. But I wouldn't swim with mine. IP68 is good for 1 meter, but when you swim you're pushing water on the watch with a lot more pressure than the stationary pressure at 1 meter that it's rated for.

Warning! This has been developed and tested on Galaxy Nexus. It should work fine on One X, but have a backup, just in case something goes wrong (can't imagine what)
Today I got a little bit bored and decide to make this simple app. As the name says, it allows to put the phone in Standby (Lock) with the touch of app's icon. I know that there are many many apps that do this, but maybe in the future I could add other options to it. So far it seems to work fine, I tested it with Jellbro latest nightly and works like a charm. Maybe I am too lazy, but because my phone is on the desk most of the day, I find it not very convenient to press the Power button...

Changelog for version 1.4:
1.4
- added Tasks feature
- on some ROM versions the screen my try to turn itself on again after lock, the app will double check and try to lock it again. Please provide feedback if it still does not work.
- minor graphic tweaks
You can find it on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
Feel free to give me suggestions . Also a high rating on Google Play would help. Thanks.
Nice simple little app.
A suggestion-
Could you add per day schedule?
Ie. If I wanted to turn WiFi off when I know I'm at work but not on weekend.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thank you for trying the app. The suggestion is great and I've noted it down. I will try to implement it in the next version.
I am using the app and haven't got any "wake screen" events. So hopefully works as expected.
I was thinking of a feature:
1. set an interval in seconds, let's say 60
2. set in the app, Enable touch screen to wake
3. in you press the screen on this interval, the phone awakes.
This of course with the cost of battery life....
What do you say, is is useful or not ?
I've just released a new version in the market. Unfortunatelly it does not have new features as I've been really busy in the last few months but includes two important things:
- there is no more white screen + app's icon when pressing the app's icon, just before the screen shuts down
- I added compatibility with JB 4.2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
thank you! that is what iam searching for! :good:

Please just let me know if it works fine. I currently don't have a One X for testing.

I noticed 2 bugs on my htc x one. Later I will provide pictures in right thread
Sent from HOX with ARHD 14.2
Hi guys,
I have released a new version of the app. I have removed the Tasks feature as it wasn't too helpful and added Sleep Mode. So basically, the Sleep Mode shows for a brief moment (the time you set in Settings) 2 icons which allows you to switch off Sound/Wi-Fi/Data.
Here is how it works:
1. Go to Settings -> Zzzzzz Mode -> Set the interval in hours when you want the icons to be displayed. Set the milliseconds to be displayed and check the toggles you want to disable
2. Next time you press the StandBy icon you will see 2 icons on the screen. The moon icon puts the phone to standby and toggles off the checked things from settings. The sun icon, simply turns them on again and closes, without going into standby.
Any feedback is gladly received.
I just did a Betterbatterystats, and it's at the top of my list, but I don't know what it is.

Your battery life is terrible because of TuneIn Radio. It eats almost as much battery as the flippin' screen. Unacceptable.
And that's what the AudioOut_2 is from, by the way.
Ya more then likely its that and the fact that you're playing music in general. I get it when using any music player.

Thanks both. But today was unusual as I only use TuneIn Radio once a week, and today was that day, and then it's only for a couple hours at the most. I mainly use Poweramp, or Walkman to listen to my music, but even then, it's at home and plugged in. But another evaluation I did last night while I was sleep showed that audio out 2 at the top of the list with almost as much usage. That's why I was asking what it is. Yesterday was the first time I have used BBS, and I'd just like to know what that audio out 2 was.
Want to know the way I know what I know..??? I use Google. More than likely every incident you have, someone else has had before, and made notes of it on the interwebs. In your case some reports are Audioout_2 is caused by an app called Viber and some other cases its games, I'm pretty sure its anything that causes audio to play.

As far as I can tell from my tests, this particular wakelock covers almost every sound your phone makes, from playing music to outputting system sounds. Starting to play music will add a single count and then add time as long as the music continues to play. I tested this with Poweramp. Aside from this, if you have system sounds on, any system sounds will also trigger a count, the time is dependent upon the length of the system sound. So if you have lockscreen and touch sounds on these will register. You can verify this by opening better battery stats and navigating to the partial wakelock page. Note the number of counts on audio_out 2, then lock and unlock your phone and then refresh the stats. You will see that the count increases each time. It is important to note that this occurs even while in vibrate mode, as the phone still treats it as a sound output even though the sound is silenced, the motor still vibrates the phone to the sound and still uses cpu. The same goes for ringtones and notification sounds. Even while in vibrate this will register as an audio_out 2 wakelock. So the reason you have counts showing up while you sleep is because if your phone gets any notifications or activates any system sounds, even while in vibrate, it will prompt a partial wakelock. This can be remedied by putting your phone entirely into silent mode. I tested this myself by sending myself text messages and refreshing to see if the count increased while in silent mode, which it did not. (As noted earlier it DID increase while in vibrate) I believe it is adequte to simply use the status bar toggle, but if it continues it might help to turn system sounds off in the sound settings as well. (Note: haptic feedback does not trigger this particular wakelock.) Hope this is helpful.
Out of curiosity I quickly put together Wear GPS test app.
It uses build-in GPS only! (Doesn't matter if you connected or disconnected)
Huge thanks to satstat [email protected] https://github.com/mvglasow/satstat for the implementation of SNR and Gps position views.
Install it on your phone and it will sync mobile app. Phone app is solely for installation/uninstallation.
Please let me know how your gps behaves. Mine is really strange - sometimes will fix quickly at home and sometimes outside just jumps between 11/20 to 0/20 to 4/20 to 12/20 withing 5 secs
I guess this attributes to zigzaging track.
Operation - Scroll face right to get into Sat positions view and then left to get back, Long press to exit.

Changelog:
0.2 Added reset and request AGPS, tho have no idea if it works w/o direct internet connection, also added simple status screen by request
0.1 Initial release
Cool! nice app!
BTW, speaking of jumps, look at the graphs for pace I got with "my tracks" during my last test. As you can see there are a lot of times when the gps signal is lost. This does not happen when I use my tracks in my nexus 5.
This is cool. maybe you could give Runtastic and Endomodo some tips. I haven't found a running app that works with the native GPS yet, they all seem to only work if the phone is tethered to the watch during a run.
didnt find a fitting thread but you look like haveing a plan bout gps...
Im more paranoid user and was wondering, if I turn the gps of my phone, does this also entirely disable the gps module of my smartwatch?
And if the answer is "no" how can this total disable of gps be acchieved?
It looks to work fine on my SWR50.
What I'm missing is a page with ALTITUDE, BEARING, DOP, SATS written in BIG, since on the 1st screen is VERY very difficult to read while you are moving (too small text).
Can you?

FANTASTIC: great job.
Maybe fonts size could be even bigger in page 3.
Thanks a lot: bravo!
great app!
font sice could be a littel bit greater, and is it show the satellites number?
the app itself works like a charm, except if i do a screenshot at the android wear manager, the app closes - but that happens with ervery app if i try to make a screenshot.
my swr50 has no hopping at all, just the altitude is too high (approx. 40 meters), but that is even the case if i open the developer menue.
Altitude is what GPS reports, but it is not reliable at low altitudes, better on a plane.
With app closure it is wear 5.0 feature I believe, but I plan to implement persistent notification in app closure. Once i find some free time - I'll do it...
Bumping an old thread, but still relevant at least ; loaded it on to my new SW3, and seems to work great. Only complaint of course is can't do the swipe to close; not the end of the world, but would be a good future improvement.
Still, thanks for the work!
When a 0.3 release?

I'm currently using the Scoon Tech 1 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scoonwear.tech1. I find it a little dorky, but I wanted a watch face that showed me the temperature on it. Interested in other suggestions for simple/customizeable watch faces with weather/other module options. I also had the dreaded battery drain issue today, not sure if it was the watch face or something else random.
Still playing ingress
There are 4 things I like to see on a watch face:
- Time
- Date
- Battery power
- Weather
The Odyssey watch face shows all of these things and looks pretty decent.

A close second for me is Krona Sunlight, which has the added benefit of showing you the weather for the next 24 hours in a very interesting way.

I am using the 9 to 5 Working Hours Watchface, it shows me how long I have been at work, how long to my break and how log till I can gtfo.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atektura.ninetofivewatchface&hl=en
The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't show phone battery or weather, but I have learnt to live without that.
I wonder how these watchfaces perform in terms of battery life. With the stock ones, boring as they may be ☺ I easily get three days, and ultimately I realized that this is what matters to me.
Most of then are pretty good. It's the faces made by facer and watchmaker that I find to be not much chop.

-weather at the moment (for that i can look out of the window)

i tried watchmaker pro, but i think it doesnt support hourly weather forecast or? instaweather supports it, but doesnt offer calendar appointments
TaskS2 seems to be the ONLY solution available for all Samsung watches since the S2. It was developed four years ago, it's buggy, and is not well designed intuitively. This goes for both the watch and companion app on the Android host (phone).
So, why is there no better alternative that has come out since then?
I have some home automation with REST APIs I wrote and run on Raspberry PIs. I use the RESTask plugin for Tasker to make calls to my homeauto api from the phone.
Now I've just gotten my first Samsung watch (the Galaxy Watch) and I've set up TaskS2 to interface with my Tasker tasks. It works..... sometimes (forget the TaskS2 widget, it is useless). One problem I found right away with the TaskS2 task lists is that they won't come up on the watch when you actually need them, and I think that might be because the companion app on the phone gets put to sleep by the Android OS (Samsung S7 w/Oreo).
Are people just not interested watch-to-Tasker integration because it requires Tasker and/or TaskS2 phone app to stay awake all the time and drain battery? Doubt it.
Why no love for Tasker?
I had fairly good Tasker integration on my Pebble back in 2014, and we can't do it on Tizen five years later?
Task S2 works fine and any time I want to use for me.
User must ensure that all needed app are running every time on the phone : Samsung app and all needed compagnon app like this for Task S2, so need to exclude to battery optimisation and grant launch at startup.

Garmin Fenix :

Other Wear OS app : Wear Tasker
So I can not say that Samsung has bad Tasker app and nice app for other than Samsung, no ?
It's not the look of the TaskS2 app on the watch that is a problem. That's fine because it uses the Samsung-developed watch UI (how Samsung renderes a selectable list on the screen -- no style points there for TaskS2). It's how it functions: the way the side menu works. The way the favorites works. The way adding to Favorites works. the way one has to reset the list to get it to behave. etc. The way the widget does NOT work at all! And of the two, the watch app is the better! The phone side TaskS2 app is REALLY bad! It is ALL completely not intuitive and just plain silly.
You don't need to keep replying about how much you love TaskS2. That's not helpful.
This thread asks about at least ONE alternative.
I'm also looking for an alternative.. i'm using a wearOS watch, just because Autowear gives me the needed functionalities..
if there is an alternative to TaskS2, i would consider switching to a samsung gear..
Just got my galaxy watch, and I am really disappointed too with the lack of proper tasker options.
I moved over from pebble, the tasker integration there was the best. You could use the hardware buttons to launch a task. It simply works.
Even the android wear is better than g-wach's tasker.
With the android wear lte, I could launch tasks even away from the phone's Bluetooth range.
With the g-watch's S2, you can't do that. Not sure if this is a samsung g-watch cloud limitation.
New Tasker Integration available for tizen watches
Hi there,
if you are still looking for tasker integrations for Tizen-based watches, go check out the app WatchEvents.
Right now WatchEvents provides events in Tasker that can be triggered from your watch.
Other features will be added soon.
Cheers Keaselstein
