I don't know if it bothers anyone else but who came up with the idea of having charging port on the side?
It makes virtually impossible to watch videos fullscreen while the phone is plugged as usually I need to lean it against something and watch with other people. I could just turn the phone around to have the port on the top but the fullscreen videos doesn't turn around as full screen always flip to the right.
Never had problems with my Desire HD as it has charging port at the bottom which is the best place I think as you can turn the phone around with no problems ;p
Is there any way to turn around flash videos?

I just turn it to the left so that the power is at the top, I'm on a custom rom

Yeah it works with YouTube designated app as it rotates every way, but it doesn't rotate for anything else, like when I'm trying to watch the Olympics of BBC website or any other streaming video from different websites.

I use tv catchup it rotates both ways http://static.tvcatchup.com/android/TVC_0_40.apk

flash only allows one way rotation (to one horizontal side not the other) however if you just zoom the webpage so the video fits into it perfectly, then the internet browsers rotational controls will come into play, and should let you rotate all ways.
theres also some apps on market that will allow you to force orientation as well
I've just got this phone today and found this problem irritating as hell as soon as I plugged it in at home, but I've found an app on the market which solves this issue called "Ultimate Rotation Control" by "FaMe IT" (sorry can't post the link as I'm a new user) it's only a 7 day trial version and full version costs £1.69 but it's better than nothing. If anyone has a free alternative please let me know!
I want to make a list with nice apps for our Sony Smartwatch 3.
Which apps are you using?
Give us some good apps, why they are great/better and if possible with their links! Please read and don't post doubles.
My List for now:
APPS:
Wear Mini Launcher
Need to have this one for starting apps the easy way. Also handy for finding your phone and quickly change watch brightness.
Runkeeper
Run Sports Tracker, compatible with Google Fit
Task Manager
See whats happening and force close apps..
Wear Battery Stats
Wear Battery Stats, monitor your Android Wear device battery life and when an app is installed, updated or uninstalled.
Evernote for Android Wear
Take notes and sync them with your computer
Flashlight for Wear
Sort of light..

Sony Walkman App
Musicplayer compatible to sync music offline to the watch.
tinyCam Monitor Pro (PAID)
Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Ghostracer Beta
Very nice running app for standalone watch support. Use Bluetooth smart HRM monitors and listen to music with the Walkman app at the same time.. Many features and upload possibilities to Strava and other running apps (in future). Join this LINK for BETA.
PixtoCam
Camera remote tool. Kinda handy for making stop motion video's with your phone!

For now a good app to control the Philips Hue lamps from the watch.

Track the name of a song with the watch's mic.

Sheep Shield
Funny game for a couple minutes..

I have not used this app very long, but it has worked great so far to allow me to easily lower the brightness below the normal settings. This will be great at night. I went ahead and purchased it for a dollar from the play store to support the developer, but the developer is offering it for a free trial right now thru 12/21/14.

Thanks! I like the idea but at my watch it looks like a black/brown layer on top instead of adjusting the brightness. For example with "wear mini launcher" you can adjust the brightness below the normal settings. Only thing is when screen turns off and on again, brightness setting is to default again... <br />
Your app holds its settings, so that's a good workaround for now.<br/>
Check this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixtogram.wear.zicam. For me is the best taking photos on Sony SW3
Does anyone know how to activate the Android Wear channel in ITTT? I can't seem to figure it out, tried opening ITTT on the watch, tells me to use the phone and then the phone has no obvious place to enable it (well other than the activate android wear channel--but that doesn't work haha)
Does anyone know how to make a negative watch face when the watch is "resting"? What I mean is, when the watch goes into rest mode and you see the e-ink display of the watch face, it would be nice to have that in a negative tone. You'd be able to see it better.
I use Facer and have different displays depending on whether the watch is active or idle. Active has full digital information, idle just shows hands. I assume something like what you are after may be possible.
Just to add;
Ghostracer Beta (GPS, Bluetooth HRM support, Syncs with Strava and all others that sync with Strava (my fitness pal, runkeeper etc.)) -- Works by itself! No phone required.
Walkman App beta (Lets you transfer Mp3s to your device that aren't through Play Music. Does it via Playlists rather than "everything" like Google Play Music.) -- Listen directly from your watch to bluetooth headsets! Great for listening with leaving your phone at home on runs/walks.
Tinycam Monitor (PRO) -- Paid -- Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Wear Calendar -- I like this calendar above the rest currently out there
At work -- Useful time keeping wear app to check in and out of work to manage your timecard
Flopsy Droid -- Flappy bird rip off because why not??? This app actually makes a lot of sense for a wear device.

I have used Facer for this with my home made Casio watchface ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956934
Watchface for Facer, Casio White ). I prefer the new white, with digital big clock in ambient mode...
At the moment I'm trying the "Watchmaker" app with the same Casio face. It has more options to tweak...
Will update this section soon with all of our new "must have apps"..
I'm really enjoying the Walkman app that imnoob55 mentioned in his post above. I found it at this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728110 ) and it's working flawlessly on my Note 2 paired with my Sony Smartwatch 3.

I think this question belongs in the Question section!
Turn on the Whatsapp notifications on your phone. That should do the trick...

Is somebody using Watchmaker ? I can't get it to work properly, it seems that there is some sort of lag with the minute while in ambient mode. Facer is working fine but Watchmaker has weather icons out of the box.

I converted my watchface made in Facer to a Watchmaker face, but had a batterydrain and some other issues. Maybe it's just me but at the moment I'll stay with Facer. I actually like the variety of features from Watchmaker though..

I use Facer too, but now I have the same problem since the last update. The minutes are always 1 minute late and update when I wake up the watch.
I know this is probably a dumb question. I have both of these apps installed and was wondering, do they have to be running all the time or only when I want to change watch faces?
No they don't need to run all the time.
With WatchMaker you can also send faces to your Watch and then you don't even need to open the App on your phone - Just change to a different watch face directly on your watch.
I tried watchface maker but i noticed it nakes my watch very slow with notifications

I used to be able to use an animated image from the phones lenticular photo mode for a lock screen. Now if I try it just says preparing to share and then makes a really cruddy blurry picture that isn't even animated out of the moving picture instead. I am on 4.6.6 and have the amazon photos app icon. I tried on two other phones in the family and we all have this issue. Anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a solution yet?
maybe due to the most recent updates, for example i can no longer use the built in video app to stream from online, it just doesn't work since they updated the photo apps

I understand fire phone is not their priority but it seems a bit odd to kill lenticular functionality and leave it since that is basically the best thing the phone has going for it. Disappointing.
you can go to "applications & parental controls \ manage applications\ Filter by downloaded
click at photo and uninstall update.
you will can use 3d dynamic lock screen by lenticular photo again.
Hello,
For an art project I need to use a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 as a display screen.
The watch should display a video or a gif in a loop and never pause/quit and never go to sleep.
Is there a way to create an app to do this? Or would there be a simplier way to achieve that? I was thinking about using the retail/demo mode that already displays videos in a loop but i don’t really know how to do this and use a video of my choice.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day,
Rémi
