[Q] - SW2 and Lollipop 5.1

My phone won't even connect to the device. I open smart connect and realize it wont recognize my watch. Anyone else encountering this? I am using a nexus 6 device.

Got it working. I had to reset the watch from the options menu.

Good for you. Hope that don't have issues when I receive Lollipop on my Z.

Got Lollipop on my Z1, the watch was realy buggy...
Had to do a reset also, now it looks better.

Smart unlock is not working since I upgraded to Lollipop on my Z2.
Tried resetting watch as above, but it did not help.

Replying to my own post.
It works fine under Lollipop. It is just that the update turns off Google Smart Lock. You have to turn it back on:
Settings --> Security --> (Scroll Down to Advanced) Trusted Agents -->
Turn on 'Smart Unlock (Google)'
If not already done, it will tell you that you need to set a PIN. Do so, then return and Turn on 'Smart Unlock (Google)'
Unpair the watch (or other BT device), and pair again. You will now get the Notification to add it as a trusted device.

Apps not in the List
I'm on TW Lollipop 5.1.1 and for me the following solution worked:
install Smart connect & Smartwatch 2 App and all other apps/smart extensions you need
connect/pair your Smartwatch2
Activate Autostart/Autorun for all the Smartwatch apps/extensions you installed (depending on the Rom you use, in the settings or with an app that manage Auto starting)
reboot your phone
done
at this point, if the app list of your smartwatch doesn't refresh you have to add these steps
disconnect bluetooth (disable it on smartwatch)
unpair/remove the Smartwatch from your bluetooth devices on your smartphone and switch bluetooth off after that
reset the Smartwatch (settings in smartwatch -> software reset)
clear cache and data of smartconnect & smartwatch2 app
pair/connect the Smartwatch with your phone
Maybe you have to do one more "bluetooth off/on" switch
done
sorry for no pictures

[Q] Android Wear and Blackberry connectivity!

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.

Sony smartwatch 3 can't connect to the internet

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't know if there is a topic similar with my issue but my smartwatch sony 3 can't connect with the internet and with the android wear app. Yesterday it was working well with my android tablet, but then I pair with another android smartphone and I can't connect it again with my tablet. It says on the smartwatch that is connected but then it shows "Just a minute..." and on the android tablet "checking for updates... this may take a few minutes". After a few minutes it shows on the smartwatch "can't connect to the android wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips."
I have done the downgrade of the smartwatch to LWX48P version because I want to update to LCA43 to use NFC with freestyle libre because I am diabetic. Please help me, and thank you so much for your patience.
Best regards from Portugal,
Catarina

Greetings. Perhaps the problem you are having is the switch. Your watch can only be connected to one host device (phone/tablet) at a time. In order to switch you need to disconnect it from the device and set it up as a new device on the new one. This will trigger a wipe (at least of /data). There may be an app to make the switch easier, but I am not sure.
Good luck.

Just a hunch, but you probably need to disconnect it from Android Wear on both devices, then remove Bluetooth pair from both devices in Bluetooth settings, then reset the watch to factory settings, then start with a clean slate.
But previous poster is correct, you cannot pair it with 2 devices, which is really annoying, so pick one device only, and you can't switch from one to the other, and then back again.

Thank you so much for your reply! It works if the smartwatch has the latest version ! But the main question is that with the LWX48P version I can't connect with my tablet. But I need to update to LCA43, and without internet I can't do it. I searched for a OTA version of LWX48P to LWX49K to LDZ22D and finally to LCA43 to make the upgrade manually but I can't find it. Can you help me please? Thank you!

Sony SW2 = No Longer Supported By Sony Apps........Please Help

Hello
I am new to your site, so i hope this is ok to post here.
Please help........I fell for a beautiful all singing all dancing Sony SW2 on ebay, unfortunatly Sony tell me that the SW2 is a no longer a product supported by Sony and that is why the Smart Connect app is available but not the Sony Smartwatch 2 Host. The watch does say it is connected to my Xperia L3 and vise versa but it is not responsive at all to the phone. and if i turn the watch off then on again it just asks me for the SW2 host again.
Is there a way of over riding the watches request for the host app or have i just paid £42 for a lovely looking calculater watch?
Thank you all in advance.

Thank you
Thank you very much for the download.
I have downloaded to my google chrome laptop am somehow from putting it in drive then managed to transfer it to my phone. Now i have it i am still unsure on which apps are best to download for the SW2 and also how to do so, so if you would you be so kind as to help me further iwould be most greatful.
Thank you,
Louise

You can search "sony sw2" on the playstore. There are still many apps
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sony sw2&c=apps

Hi
I still face the same issue, even I installed the apk you gave us, i cannot open it or launch it What can I do it's for a gift
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Miriam.

Same issue here. Just gave it to my son. He has OnePlus 3. Sony actually hosts the APK file on their site, but when I install it, you can only hit "Done", as "Open" is grayed out. There is nothing in the app drawer, and nothing under internal storage/Android/data

Master app is the "Sony Smart Connect" the "Smartwatch SW2" app is only a plugin for the master app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware
But not all "Smart Connect App" works with all phone/watch/plugin. I must often install older Smart Connect Version depend of phone and Android version. Not special rules, I must try differents versions from my differents backup until it works. It is the game with older device and older software on older or newest phone and OS

I just found this site and downloaded your backup but how do I get it to my smartwatch2? I tried plugging the usb cord from the watch to my pc but nothing registers under "My Computer" to be able to transfer a file?

Is there any apps/extensions who still works on Sony smartwatch 2? I just have the five basic apps(alarm, flashlight, calculator, stop watch and timer. I have tried to install several apps/extensions but nothing have been synced to the watch so that I could use them

Almost all works. Just need use old Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 plugin.
I use Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001
and Smartwatch 2 app V 1.6.31
this works on Android 11

Hello everyone! Extensions don't seem to show on the app after being installed. I'm using a Galaxy A50 on Android 10 / OneUI 2.5, any clue?

Thank you for the reply, I have both of those apps with exact same version as you wrote, what extensions do you use at your watch?

You're a lifesaver. Just got it working on android Q. Thanks!

If it helps anyone : I had installed first the Sony Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001, then tried connecting to the watch, then installed the apk Smartwatch2 app V1.6.31 from Sony's website.
It did not work, even after a reboot, because the Smart connect was still trying to install the plugin.
I removed and reinstalled the Sony Smart Connect app and rebooted the phone : it recognized the plugin automatically.
So I would say : try installing the SmartWatch2 host apk first, then the Smart Connect app from the store.

Hi. Is there a call app available? Don't need to answer, just want to see who's calling when a call comes in, I answer on my headset. Really desperate, does anybody have any info? Thanks

Informer - Notifications for Sony SW2​This app is the only one I found that displayed missed calls etc. It's rather unreliable for me. Try it yourself.

Thanks, I've downloaded it. Quite good but doesn't really seem to do calls. I went on to Sony and they seem to have the calling apk but I can't get it to work. Does it work for anyone else?

I bought this watch 2 days ago, having a nightmare with it. Hours and hours trying to make it work at my Samsung 10. Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch App installed and paring with the phone. The problem is that as I could search on the web, the native apps provided in Sony's website just work with Sony smartphones. At the end of the day it is a useless smartwatch if you expect it to at least have the Calling Function.

smartwatch 3 doesn't pair or shown in bluetooth devices

i have a sony smartwatch 3, it boots but doesn't connect to mobiles nor shown in bluetooth devices on mobiles.
tried to unpair/reset without results, it can work in demo mode but doesn't operate normally.
is there a way to download and flash software?

up

uninstall et re install the Wear OS app on phone to clear all data from watch. On watch settings "dissocier le téléphone" (in your langage) and in phone BT device (if registred) un pair SW3.
After launch wear OS (not search BT BT device) and select "new watch" Wear OS must find the SW3.

how to uninstall & re install Wear OS?
would you provide links & guide?

There are many ways..... but one simple way is to go on PlayStore and search "WearOS". When you click on the app in the store you have 2 buttons : "Uninstall" and "Open" (or "update" if you have not the last version).

Some watches can not be "discoverable" by the BT system on the phone but an Android App can discover the watch. Often I can not see my Watch on BT phone device when I search, but when I launch the "Wear OS" app on the phone the app discover and setup the watch. Only after that, I can view the watch on the BT phone list. Idem for some Fitbit device, not seeing in BT list but Fitbit App found the device.

WearOS on the phone can detect watches that are not detected by BT phone device. Even if the phone do not detect, WearOS can detect.

Just wanted to change my SW3 from my xperia Z5C and pair with my Pocophone F1.
Reinit SW3 and forget on Z5C, add to WearOS on Pocophone. SW3 can not be found on the Pocophone. Impossible to pair and setup on Pocophone. I power on the xperia Z5C and the SW3 is found immediatly on the Z5C. New phone seem not really compatible with old device like SW3

Hi,
I have the same issue, and cannot seem to find any solution for it. Reinstalling wear OS did not helped either
