I am trying to send the accelerometer data from my moto360 to laptop (or PC).
I know that it is OK to send data to smartphone via SDK, however, I have no idea how to send data to PC or laptop.
Anyone can help?
Thanks much
Seeing as the watch's bluetooth connection is tethered, so to speak, to the phone, I believe you would have develop an app that relays the data from the phone to the laptop. This can be achieved either via bluetooth connection from the phone or WiFi. In other words, you'd have to use the phone as a "middle man" for the data.
Just to clarify even further:
Watch ----Via BT ----> Phone ------Via BT or Wifi---------> laptop
The "easiest" way would be to send the data to the app and have the app send it further to a server. If you want it display it in "realtime" I'd recommend pushing the data in to a realtime database like Firebase or something similar, and then have a webapp on the laptop to display the data. It won't be in perfect "1 to 1" sync with the data from the watch, but as far I know, it's the only viable one. This would enable you to track the data even when your not in bluetooth range of the laptop.

Peoples,
I would like to set up my Orbit to work as a modem for my Laptop whilst on holidays ie use it to connect to the internet etc
Question is how can I do same, and the best method given that my laptop has bluetooth and wifi (or direct cable connection?)?
Many thanks
I assume you're on O2 and don't mind paying for GPRS roaming while aboard, which I assume your holiday is also aboard.
You can follow the below link from O2 (setup for windows) which tells you what username/passowrd, phone number and ips you need to put in the settings.

as far as the installing the modem goes, turn on bluetooth, discoverable, and your PC should see your phone in the bluetooth browser and you should be able to add it as a modem.
Thanks for the reply humps
...will try here (UK) first, but back in Australia will use a local SIM for data and calls....cheers
It's not that hard..
You simply need to pair up your orbit with the lappy... the blootooth should detect and install various components (modem etc)... but the one you need to use is Bluetooth LAN. On the orbit, go to intenet sharing, make the pc conenction Bluetooth PAN, and hit conenct - I've not tried it on USB, as the bluetooth is perfect...
Then, just double-click the bluetooth LAN connection on the laptop, and it should piggyback on the back of the orbit's GPRS connection.
USB is easy, start Internet Sharing in the Programs menu, tell it what connection settings to use, select USB, then touch connect. Plug the cable into the laptop and your done.

Except it runs the battery down very quickly. USB will charge the battery whilst you browse.... But other than that it is fine.
i was wondering is it possible to share ppc's wifi connection through usb to a lappy without wifi capability?

It might or might not work though!
This really gets me in the UK... I have hundreds of mins free calls yet get charged sill money for going on line GPRS.... When away its cheeper to plug into a phone line and go on dial up and the same speed.... why hasnt someone come up with a way of using the phone as a 'modem' old skool style. that way i could use the phone call mins and pay for the on line time rather than kbs
Interesting thought GPRS v GSM
Have you tried settings..connections, add a new connection and just specify 'Cellular Line' arather than GPRS...
You'll need an ISP with a dialup number, but it would count as a standard call.
Problem, of course, is that most ISP dialups are 0845 numbers which won't come out of your call allowance, but if you could find one with say an 020 number, you may be getting somewhere (line spped would be v slow, but it would be good enough to download mails and then read them offline)
Hi all,
Firstly, I'm new to winmob devices but as a developer I wanted to get my hands on one and start building some apps. I bought an unlocked TP2 and so far I'm really impressed and happy with it.
Now, I've searched the forums and can't find anything that completely addresses a question I have about Data Connection. It's a bit n00b but as I said I'm new to this I've never had a phone that could connect to the internet before.
I have a data plan with my provider, but when I'm at home I have the phone on the wifi. Sometimes I have it on the laptop at work or home (via USB cable).
What I don't quite understand yet is what is the priority for data connection? e.g. if connected via USB it will try to use the internet connection of the pc? if connected via wifi it will use that as preference? When the phone isn't connected to either, obviously it will start eating data from my plan, but I'm not clear on how the phone uses the internet etc. when on wifi or via the USB cable. I assume there's some kind of "preference" order or setting.
Can someone please enlighten me?
Thankyou for your time!
I've not seen any setting, but I believe it is:
USB ActiveSync (First priority)
Wifi
3G data connection
GPRS data connection (Last)
This is my experience anyway - certainly Wifi should be higher priority than any cellular/mobile connection. And I think I noticed that my web browsing was going via USB cable instead of Wifi when that was plugged in.
I agree with the above post, however I have noticed that If I run an app (lets say the YouTube app) with no active wireless or activesync connection it will use 3G or GPRS depending on available service, however If I then turn on Wireless I have to restart the app, it doesn't seen to automaticaly switch over to the new wireless connection which is a shame.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to define a priority on the connection to use based on whats currently available, i.e First go for USB (laptop) if available, if not then WiFi if available, then 3g, gprs etc...
Thanks in advance
umm?
if you're connected to your laptop through Active Sync, i'm pretty sure that automoatically will make your phone use your computers internet.
If Wifi is on, that should automatically take priority over your phone's data service. If it doesn't, just disconnect the data service in the Comm manager.
So yeah, what you want is already an implementation of WM.
I want to be able to switch on my WiFi hotspot, connect a laptop to it, and move data to and from the phone's storage as if the phone was acting as a server. Is this at all possible? Essentially I want to use the phone as a portable server for computers that I service in the home for clients. I want to be able to access my tools and software and files by connecting the client's laptop to my phone's wifi hotspot and then browsing to the server on that network to access the files. Anything to make this possible? Thanks in advance!
You're better off using a flash drive and just plugging into the computers...
It'd be slow and cumbersome even if you could get it to work.
I can only plug one flash drive into one computer at a time. Would really like to make this work, if anyone has any ideas. Thanks
I have had this watch just about a week, after multiple resets, checking settings, I still cannot get the watch to connect to the internet via wi-fi without my phone. It will say it's connected to the network within the settings screen, but be unable to perform any tasks such as ok google commands, etc.
I just spoke to Huawei, and they said you cannot connect to the internet without your phone being paired via bluetooth. Is that correct?
yes, the wifi connection is only used to connect to your phone via the internet/wlan (cloudsync), but it can't do anything without it.
