Apps that don't require paired phone ? - Sony Smartwatch 3

OK I am thinking of buying the watch but because my phones battery is usually dead before the afternoon , if that happens will my watch become uselles until I charge my phone ? I understand that if that happens I won't be able to receive my notifications . I want to know , when the watch is not paired with a phone will it show the right time ? Will I be able to use a timer and a stopwatch or an alarm clock ? Are there any apps that don't need a connected phone to work , like calculators , sport tracking ?

sport tracking apps issue

Hello, i have a problem with sport tracking apps. I have tried Endomondo and Sports tracker but there is the same issue using them, so I suppose that must be some software issue of my cell phone. Application works properly only until the screen gets locked...when the cell phone gets in the locked screen mode it shuts down the whole cell phone within like 2 minutes and it can't be turned on again, i must reinsert battery for being able to turn it on again. With active screen everything works just fine. I use HTC Desire with Android 2.3.7 and CM-7.2.0-RC3-bravo. I would be thankful for any kind of advice, how to fix this issue
Seems like the phone is not waking up properly and could be a bsod. Did you under or over clock the phone?
Happens with other ROMs too?
Oh yes, next time, turn the app on along with a logcat capture and pull a logcat.

Me too! I did all of that. I just got new a new replacement note 4 and it was working fine on my previous note 4 but this will not sync any faces or no moto app.
ok I was able to get it working. I factory reset the watch and via android wear I added new wearable device and clicked on sync all app.

That did the trick, thanks i'm working good now.
Reset my phone three times and no love. I can update the original stock faces but thennew faces never show up
Same thing happened to me today. I've reset my phone 3 times and resync'd many times without any luck. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Finally, I was able to fix it. My case was as follows:
I had paranoid android installed (new faces were fine). Had to restore factory settings on my phone, phone didn't want to sync after I reset my phone so I restored factory settings on my phone. I lost the new faces. Tried resetting the phone and watch multiple times and it didn't work. I went back to stock 5.0 (LRX21O) by following this guide . After restoring my phone to stock, I reset the watch one last time. Paired the phone and watch, customized one of the new faces chose minimal face on watch (still no new faces on my phone), then customized the same new face again, when trying to select another face it only showed one (simple). I chose that one, then tried to change to a new face and viola! new faces appeared.
Not sure what of everything I did was the fixing factor but wanted to share. Hope this helps.
Faced same problem. But i managed to update my 360. Try to uninstall all 3rd party app on ur phone, uninstall motoconnect and android wear. Last step is factory reset ur moto360
Then install motoconnect, install android wear ( do not install any 3rd party app at this stage), go to android wear setting and resync available app. Just make sure your phone screen is on about 10 minutes or so, moto360 will reboot after that.
All new faces and moto body apps will show up eventually - i tried this 3 times.
Hope this may help
Motorola 360 new watch faces not showing up on watch
I had the same problem, new watch faces would show in connect app (particularly the My Design one) and I could customize them but the new ones would never show up as an available watch face option on the 360. It may be related to replacing your phone as the new watch faces worked fine with my Old Note 4 then I had to replace it (because it had a problem) so when I got my replacement Note 4 and reconnected my watch it would never give me the option for the new watch faces even after I "reset" the Moto 360 numerous times. Interestingly for some people the new watch face options don't even show up in their Motorola Connect App on their phone, I think it may be related to their phone OS version. I have a coworker with a Note 3 and the new watch faces are not a option even though his motorola connect app is up to date.
Here is what I did to fix my 360:
- uninstall all apps on your phone related to your watch (Motorola Connect, Android Wear, 3rd party, etc.)
- Reset your 360 back to factory. (not just a restart)
- Wait for watch to prompt to install Wear on phone.
- install wear on phone, it will remember your old watch, pick the menu option to forget that watch though so it acts like this is the first time you are setting up a watch.
- Go through the watch pair and setup routine with the wear app till you get to the main wear screen that shows the watch connected and what your voice actions are.
- Go through the training setup on your watch (swipe, swipe....) till it's to it's Normal screen with your notifications.
- Install Motorola Connect app on your phone, go through the setup and wait till it says "connected" to your watch
- Set your phone and your 360 down and don't touch either for 15 minutes (no new apps, settings, etc)
- Your new watch faces should now be on your 360.
- re install the rest of your wear junk.
Those who have problems syncing , keep the watch on charging and charge your phone as well . do not reset anything. Just resync all apps option in android wear app. They will show up automatically after few mins

After this latest Moto Connect update I'm still waiting to see the new faces in the Android Wear app. I got the update almost 24 hours ago and nothing. I have tried re-syncing, resetting the watch, all that stuff. What is funny is I can go download a new random watch face and within a few minutes it shows up. But the new Connect app doesn't seem to be working. However if I am in the Connect app and "customize" a face and hit "Apply" it makes the watch vibrate. I also cannot change the color of the charging dock face... Crazy, not sure what the issue is.

Have you tried clearing app data for the connect app on the phone, then uninstall it. Reboot both the phone and watch. Then once the phone and watch are connected again, download the connect app.

Yeah. Apparently, and I should have guessed this, it is an issue with my running the 6.0 preview 3 on my nexus 6. So yeah, sucks but M is worth not having a couple new watch faces and a different color charging face.

I thought it was M p3 too, i even removed all my wear apps and reseted the watch XD
Motorola told me to "unoptimize" the wear abb (from the battery options).
I asked if it could not be an incompatibility with M, but they did no know.
EDIT: motorla lvl2 suppoty called, they say that the newer API level in android 6.0 makes it incompatible with moto connect update

They DO know that 6.0 is about to be released right? Ugh. Guess I'll stop trying to get this to work on my Nexus 6.

if you are on 6.0, then you have to wait for an update from motorola.

ok, Thanks cocchiararo, just have to wait
I don't have the option to change the charging colors. Swiping down on the watch face does nothing, and there isn't an option for it in Motorola Connect. I'm running the latest Moto 360 software on the watch, and my phone is running OS 5.1.

Lollipop issues

notifications DOESN'T WORK on 3rd party watch faces(not even the vibration) have you noticed that bug too?
EDIT: it seems no one notification is sent on the watch... WTF?
I'm getting notes from yahoo email just fine:good:Which face are you using?
Got notifications like I always did.
Using Specialized right now.
Check to see if you accidentally turned notifications off on the watch.

Yup notifications for me no longer work at all ......
Maybe is related to whatsapp? When the watch is on a 3rd party watch faces like shadow clock, ustwo and it is locked on transflective screen mode, I didn't get the visual card notification on the screen. Erased the data and Chace and now 1st party watch faces works but the unofficial ones, didn't notify me with cards (now only vibration works). I received only whatsapp messages so, maybe it's whatsapp.
EDIT: not even Google now cards works.
So I unpaired ..reset watch completely and then notifications started happening ..Odd but I am back in business
Have you noticed disconnection/reconnection problems ?
If my SW3 it out of my phone's bluetooth aera, it's automatically disconnected.
When i'm back close to my phone, reconnection isn't always automatic.
Android Wear on my phone is in status "connecting".... but won't connect to the SW3.
I must go in Android Wear, choose disconnect... then connect.
Is there :
- a widget for Android showing the connexion status between SW3 and phone ?
- A widget for switching connection to easily disconnect/reconnect

Make sure your android wear app is up to date
Not find this issue so far. Notifications are always arrived at watch before I noticed them
I am having trouble only with notifications from Facebook Messenger, which do not work on any watchface.
All other notifications from Whatsapp, hangouts, gmail work anytime.
Was this issue fixed?

[Q] Bad Watch?

So I just got the ZW. Powered up and paired, got some notifications and all was fine. Left the house for 15 minutes came back to see a blank screen with the little cloud symbol at the top (always on is on). The original watch face is now not available and if I try to send new faces from the A. wear app they do not show up. Bluetooth connection is off and on with the phone (M8) the beside watch.
Performed a reset through the menu. Updated software through menu. No change to Bluetooth issues and most watch faces are gone from within watch menu...
Do I have a dud?
Frustrated...

The little cloud means that the watch is not paired connected to your phone. I would delete android wear and Zenwatch manager, if you have it, then reinstall and pair to your watch.

Thank you for the advise. I did just that and just left it alone overnight. This morning the watch faces are all back as far as I can tell, I will report later about connection issues.

No Notifitactions reach the Watch, not even the Test Notifications of the Wear app

I searched trough all settings on the phone and on the watch, i restarted both many many times and i unpaired and paired them again many times... and still its not working
The last time i Paired them it worked for the Test notification and for like 2-3 whatsapp messages, also Music control and everything was working. Only one minute later everything stopped working, it says its connected but i dont receive notifications(including the test notifications of wear app) on the watch, i cant control my music. The app and the watch still says they are connected...
As a phone im using a HTC one M8, all permissions for the watch are given (it has to cauz it worked for those 2 minuted ) and i cant find the problem.
i own the watch since october last year and never had a problem like this. For most of the time i was using my Nexus 5 but it had some terrible problems with the battery and then i decided to switch over to an old M8 which worked "ok". Do you think the problem may be the phone? i dont think so cauz with the m8 it worked for weeks
I really dont have any idea what i can do :/ Hopefully you can help me out
