Good evening, I purchased my first smartwatch yesterday, sony smartwatch 3 yellow, but I have still iphone 6 (that soon will change with Android, maybe sony z3+, because i not stand ios, i had android from 2010, but I had the iphone because I liked aesthetically, for me ios is ridiculous ) , I have not turned on, I have to pick it up tonight, until I have iphone i can "connect" with bluetooth ios and android wear? I'd like to have at least notifications on the clock display
Also with a bluetooth headset i can be connected to the same headset to the iPhone and smartwatch? so I can listen music from smartwatch and answer calls from phone
I have a tablet Android, ifive4 mini 3gs, I installed wear and short will connect the smartwatch with Bluetooth to the tablet to change watchfaces and more
thanks

You can connect Android wear smart watch to iPhone using this app, but you will have to download it to your Android tablet, Aerlink: Wear Connect for iOS You can get some notifications from the iPhone. I have both iphone 6 and Galaxy S5. You will also need to have installed on your iphone, BLE Utility. Easy to set up and use.

thanks for your help, Yesterday I tried to configure the smartwatch and I had no problems using a samsung s5 (with 5 mini tablet ifive 3gs, the connection does not work, use a modified rom I do not know if it affects the Roma on the Bluetooth connection); I tried to use Aerlink: Wear Connect and BLE Utility but I could not connect to the iPhone 6 smartwatch, I have not yet made the jailbreak, I am not ios 8.3 jailbreak. What can I try to connect my iphone to smartwatch?
thanks

I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who likes my M360 syncing with my tablet when I'm home, and with my smartphone when I'm out. There is actually no official way to pair the M360 with multiple Android devices at the same time, but I have, however, figured out an alternative. I am going to assume that you already have it paired to one device. If not I believe there are other threads out there to help you with that!
Steps:
In the Android Wear official app, tap the watch icon on the translucent black bar atop the screen to disconnect the M360 first
Check to make sure that underneath the name of your device, the status reads "Not connected"
Go to the watch settings, and reset the device, yes unfortunately there is no way around except factory resetting first
Now go through the original instructions upon boot making sure that this time you pair it with your OTHER Android device
Follow the first two steps again after the device has been paired successfully and booted up
Congratulations! The M360 should now pair with the two devices one at a time after being disconnected from one another!
Hope this helped you guys, as this method definitely works for me with my Nexus 7 (flo) and Galaxy SIII (SGH-I747)!
Doesn't work as of now, using a Google Nexus 10 tablet and Sony Xperia Z2 smartphone. Whichever device is paired last works fine. The other device will manage a pairing request just fine after disconnecting the first one, but once that pairing request is approved, it will sit forever on the "Connecting..." status, and never actually connect.
Is this every watch? I use 2 phones every day because my work does not allow camera phones. I think not being to connect to 2 devices at this junction of tech should not be a handicap.
is it possible to install RunKeeper on moto 360 and upload all activity to my profile?

Yes this is an Android Wear limitation, not a Moto 360 one.

I second that opinion. I just learned of this yesterday when I got my Moto 360. I have been using SmartWatch 2 before and figured that Android Wear being so much newer and with more features it would allow me to connect it to multiple devices... well, crap.
Is the situation same even with the new 5.1.1 version of Android Wear? Google *still* doesn't let us connect to multiple devices?
(And iOS doesn't even have the Android Wear app.. you'd think we live 15 years in the past with these stupid limitations...)
No this limitation has not changed.
so do i have to connnect everytime that i leave one device behind within the app? Bc they both wont stay connected its one or the other??
Hi!
Someone tried to connect SW3, or another smartwatch with android wear OS, with an blackberry phone?!
I would like to return at BB, but at the same time i don't want to lose my Sony SW3.
Thanks!
P.s. I am sorry for my English! :crying:
If this is a relatively new BlackBerry, I think someone got android apps to run on the OS. I would start by trying to sideload the wear app.
Edit: here is a link.
https://supportforums.blackberry.c...want-to-run-Android-Apps-on-Your/td-p/2784957
I searched and i found that , for now, problem is that google play service isn't supported by BB os, so Android wear not work...
Yeah, I was worried about that. I do not know much about BlackBerry, but on locked devices, people have found a way to add Google play services, but it is a pain. What would be more likely is either a native port, or android port of the Apple apps. That is much more doable. Does your phone support bluetooth low energy? If not, it won't happen at all. Sorry.

I have a Blackberry Passport and a SW3, and while the Passport can pair with the watch, I haven't been able to get the Android Wear app to run on the phone (requires Google Play Services). Keep in mind, I haven't spent much time trying - user Cobalt on Crackberry has a patch that might work (http://forums.crackberry.com/androi...lts-official-google-apps-landing-page-965257/)
As a workaround, I leave an old Android phone sitting at home on Wifi and the watch is able to connect to Wifi hotspots and get notifications. Doesn't work with calls or texts, but I am happy enough to keep the watch.

Thanks for reply but i search a method to connect the wear directly to the phone, even if I lose some functions like google voice, wifi or many other that for me aren't important.
I want that wear shows calls, sms, mail, tabs of runtastic or endomondo and so on.

Hi spoky27, would you kindly tell me the method you found to connect the wear directly to the blackberry?
I appreciate it even with some limitation.
Thank you.
So I just pickup a Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatch 2 days ago. I am currently using an Iphone 5. I was able to get the watch and phone connected through bluetooth perfectly fine as Motorola promise it does work with Apple Phones. However I spent the next day or so trying to look for wifi connectivity on the watch as well as the phone. it is no where to be found. The wifi setting on the Moto 360 is just not there. I try searching online for answers and all comes back to say the watch have a wifi feature which can be set at the setting area within the Moto 360. But regardless of what I did. turning off and on the watch number of times. Factory reset the watch number of times. updated to the latest Android wear OS 5.1.1. it still does not show up. I called Motorola tech support. the rep had a watch on his hand and said there should be a wifi setting in the Moto 360. However I'm certain he is not pair to an iphone. so he ask me to go and return the phone and said there could be a software issue with the watch I have.
I realize with Android wear connecting to an iphone, I will never get the full functionality as connecting to an Android phone. And I'm sure the wifi is one of the feature that will not work, simply because within Android wear app itself, in order for the wifi feature to work with the phone, inside Android wear, you have to turn on CLOUD sync. and Android ware for Iphone does not have the CLOUD sync feature in it. so I figure even if the wifi feature on the Moto 360 2nd gen is there, it won't do any good because of lack of CLOUD sync.
Just to answer some of you ask why I would buy a Android Wear watch instead of an Apple watch since I'm using a Iphone. well, the iphone is just my temporary phone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, it was sent in for repair. until it come back. i'm using an old Iphone for my Spare.
Hope this help some people when they run into this issue. If you found something I don't know. please let me know. I like to know. thanks
WiFi and Bluetooth settings are disabled/hidden on all Android Wear devices when they connect to and iOS device.
Hey everyone,
So, i've taken the plunge and have purchased a Moto 360 (first gen) instead of the Apple Watch. I just preferred the look of it TBH.
Now that i've been able to finally upgrade the OS on the watch in order to pair it with my iPhone, I've run into some issues with a few things.
1) How can I download music for OFFLINE playback via bluetooth? I have Google Play music on my iPhone, but I don't seen an option for downloading anything to the Wear app.
2) I've read that the FACER app CAN be used w/o an Android phone, but i'm not sure how to do it?
The music functionality is the main thing i'm looking for. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

1. Doesn't work with iOS. You can only sync music for offline with an Android phone, not an iPhone
2. Works only with iOS if the watch have a USB connection for side loading. Moto 360 does not have a USB port thus it will not work when paired with iOS need an Android Phone again.
So i was tinkering an Apple Watch Series 4 44mm and tried to factory reset. then as always it would search for an Iphone for sync. but i used Android with this part. and it did connect. my phone detects it in bluetooth as a device but unfortunately it says "An app is needed to use this device".
Is there a way to write a app to utilize this possibility?
that it would identify apple watch. its identifiers and teether for a connection to apple update servers. or even connect to itunes thru pc or laptop.
also when at initial setup of apple watch. laptop bluetooth pairing was a success. it does pair even at initial setup. i dont know any program that connects the watch to anything.
Hi, the Apple watch only works with an iPhone and not Android. I used untill recently always Fitbit devices, but after the release of the iWatch 6, I switched and also had to switch to an iPhone, whilst I was not an Apple fan at all. But after the release of iOS 14, everything changed Apple wise and now you're able to make your own home screen, just as within Android. Kindest regards kuzibri
Hi now you can Sell Used iWatch Online at very attractive price and get instant cash.
Were you able to make any progress?
I too have an apple watch (2022 ultra) but don't own an iPhone.
I would be willing to code an android app if it is possible
