There is no Google Now app...?
Gesendet von meinem Jelly Belly mit Tapatalk 2
Set the Devices global language to "English (United States)".
That is the one in the main settings not the "Google Now" ones (Settings->Language & input).
The other voice/input language options can be whatever you want.
You should be able to tell if it worked as the Google Search should now have mountains as a background images rather than just being blank, and in the Google Now app's settings the first option should show up as "Google Now" not "Now Cards".
You might need to set the weather back to Celsius in the weather card options.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to get a decent voice when I as "What's the weather like" rather than a horrible electronic one?
Thanks
Google now bug
Ive seen many posts about this problem. Mine is fine on Team liquid vicious v2 with franco kernel 200. I have just the weather and I will see how it recognizes what tiles to place. I wish i could just place sports teams without it having to auto recognize google searchs.. oh well still cool.

Hello,
after living for a year in Luxembourg I came back to Germany now and realized that my play store was still in French (it's more or less the main language in Luxembourg).
FYI I activated my Nexus 7 in that country.
Now that I'm back in good old Germany I'd like to have the regional store back, especially because I can't access play movies and play books ?

3 Wipe cache and Dalvik
4 Remove/re-add your Google account
5 Cross fingers (This problem plagued me for two days when I came back from France)
Ok was much easier : I got my phone reset and did the whole initial setup and my market changed automatically to the German one and on my nexus 7 once I started the store it asked me to accept the TOS etc and it also got adjusted to the german play store .
But I guess the whole cache killing would have done it to. Thanks

NOTE: This thread isn't updated by me anymore as I had to sell my SmartWatch 2. Check the latest replies to the thread for new apps, though. Keep 'em coming!
Good day fellow XDAians!
I recently bought my very own Smartwatch 2 and I had no idea where to start looking for applications. The built-in search function of Sony's Smartwatch2 app redirects to the Play Store with a certain search query but it not always shows all apps that belong to the category you've selected. So I decided to make a thread dedicated for only the best Apps&Games for the Sony Smartwatch 2!
If you know a great app or game, please let me know. I'll try to include most useful apps in this post. For each category, the free apps and games are listed before the paid ones. Let's get started.
First off, the application that is required for the SW2 to connect with your phone:
> SmartWatch 2 SW2 by Sony Mobile Communications
Secondly, with the new firmware where we can change wallpapers and create our own watchface, Sony decided to add an Easter Egg to the calculator. Have you ever wondered what 1035 equals?
> 1035 = Free Snake Game
(in case it wasn't clear yet, if you type "1035" in the calculator on your smartwatch and then press "=", you'll find the new game on your SmartWatch)
Notifications
> WatchIt! by Jonas Petersson
[free]
Will pick up notifications from the phone and display them in various ways.
> Watchify (Beta) SW2 Extension by A. Sagrebin
[free] [XDA thread]
Allows tons of notifications to pop up on your smartwatch, with Whatsapp, Email, Gmail and Hangouts currently supported to show 'extended notifications' so they'll show the entire message. It also allows setting options for these notifications such as not vibrating at night.
> Calendar smart extension by Sony Mobile Communications
[free]
Shows each upcoming calendar item with location and tapping an item shows more details.
> Quick Reply for SmartWatch 2 by IngeniousApps
[rooted] [€2,41] [XDA thread]
Lets you actually write replies to whatsapp messages as well as view incoming ones on the smartwatch.
> Tasker - Smart Notifier by Shouvik Basu
[free] [donate app at €1,21] [requires Tasker at €2,99]
Send notifications and choose actions accordingly on your SmartWatch via Tasker!
Control apps
> Tasker - Smart Extensions by Shouvik Basu
[free] [donate app at €1,21] [requires Tasker at €2,99]
Ever wanted to decide yourself what to control with your SmartWatch but don't have enough programming knowledge to make your own apps? With this Tasker extension you can!
> Media Control Extension by Lex
[free]
A beautiful app with large, comfortable buttons to control your smartphone's volume, play, pause, skip and for-/backward music; takes little time to load as opposed to Sony's media control application.
> Camera Smart Extension by Sony Mobile Communications
[free]
Turns your smartwatch into a remote smartphone camera trigger. Don't expect the live view to be smooth however.
Games
> 2048 for Smartwatch by Jonathan B.
[free]
Can't get enough of this game on your phone or in the browser? Why not have it on your smartwatch for free!
> BlackJack Extension by Tesseract Mobile
[free] [features ads on phone when replenishing bank money]
"When I'm getting a Smartwatch, I'll get one with BlackJack and Hoo... wait, let's just keep it at BlackJack."
Smartphone apps with added support for the Smartwatch 2
> Light Flow by Reactle
[€1,75] [lite version: free]
Has the option to push all sorts of device notifications to the Smartwatch, but not the extended ones. Therefore you won't get full messages, only short text (pretty handy still if you had already bought this app).
> SmartVanilla Music by Alexander Watt
[free]
Extension to control music through the application
Other
> RSS for Smart Extras™ by Sony Mobile Communications
[free]
Read your RSS feeds on your SmartWatch!
> Tiny Tasks by Lex
[€0,72]
Syncs with Google Tasks so that you can view and mark tasks as complete on your watch.
> Slideshow smart extension by Sony Mobile Communications
[free]
Makes it possible to view images from your phone on your wrist.
> Remote Widget for SmartWatch2 by NeFa Studio
[€1,13] [working ideas]
Put any SmartPhone widget on your SmartWatch!
Do you have anything to add? Please let me know by posting it including a link below!
This list is constantly updating, so keep an eye out!

Is the Lite version also capable of sending to the Smartwatch? I thought I read in the specific thread about the app that only the Pro version was capable. Anyway, I added a new section to the list: Smartphone apps with added support for the Smartwatch 2 :good::cyclops:

That definitely looks like an interesting app!
Now I just wish I had a way to pay for it *come on Google, introduce me to your Play Gift cards here as well*
I will however included it in my list, as it seems original enough. Does it let users accurately reply whatsapp messages to incoming ones, and does it work in group chats as well? I just wish there was a way to have full whatsapp on your wrist, including all contacts and previous messages.
Does it actually show your message after replying in a 'conversation kind of way', including previous messages? If not, could that be an improvement to save previous messages as well? :angel:
Ha! Great thought..
It does accurately reply to whatsapp individuals and groups and sms as well..
I am working on full whatsapp conversations.. But even if I succeed in it.. I ll be a standalone app with no notifications stuff.. Because SW2 api limitations have binded me to cut short a few things...
Love your collection btw.. Keep it up! Cheers mate!

both will work, difference only is that limited apps to use in lite version
I just found a great widget for the Remote Widget SmartWatch extension.
Try putting Sony's TrackID widget on the watch. Clicking it will result in a music search even with the phone's display off!
It's a perfect example of what this app is capable of!
*More ideas may follow in this post*
If you have any other perfect examples, be sure to share them here so I can include them in the list
okay, in the light flow app, the notification is only showing amount of unread notifications, like in gmail, it shows 1 unread, total 1, instead of showing context

So far this app has been a lifesaver. Tiny Tasks syncs up with your Google Tasks so that you can view and mark complete all from your watch

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.petersson.watch
It's a notifications plugin too.
thank you for this gathering
I'm a new SW2 user as well. SmartTasker is another nice app (although not free), nicer interface than the Tasker Smart Extension.

I don't even... know why I never found this app when I was searching on the Play Store for potential apps.
I have yet to try it still, but it looks very promising!
*added to the top of the list*
If anyone knows some more free games, or very good (non laggy) paid ones, I'd love to put more of those on my list

It's great, I've been using it for some time now, and even works while the bluetooth connection is lost, the notifications are still available then.
Also be sure to hit 1035= in the calculator for a nice game

Totally forgot to put that in the post!
That game is basically the only game that does not lag, I'm guessing because it's the only one where the smartwatch itself does the calculations?

I haven't tried it yet. Does it work well?
The idea of my post is not to put random apps in there, but apps that are actually one of the better (the app has 3 one star ratings and 3 two star ones, which makes me wonder...).
It looks to work well though, when I read the description. I might update my post with this game :cyclops:
EDIT: on your snake game: I tried it and it was laggy. Laggy in a way that it wasn't playable to me. The "calculator easter egg snake" is much better so I won't put that snake game in the post.
No problem, haven't tried the sudoku or the blocks game yet.. Someone else might have though..

Hmm.. Forgot to mention a very interesting free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.rss It displays RSS feeds on your watch. I've added RSS feeds from news sites and combined with the watchit app I get notified whenever there's a new news item..

why at this stage of the game is there still no decent Android SMS app that will:
allow multiple thread deletes
forward via email
attach a vCard from within the app
direct dial
has an dynamically expanding composition box so that one doesn't need to scroll
simple theme and look.
There's plenty out there. Just a matter of finding the right one. OEMs are always trash. Personally I used Textra and never looked back since then
I use Textra.
Me too

Hey, this is a really great app! But it has a serious flaw:
After some questions, voice recognition and voice reply switches to english although it was supposed to listen and answer in German (set to German in settings).
Also, can you add an "listen on launch" setting?

Just noticed that somehow, the app lost my login and I had to re-login. Now it is back to my default language.
I tried to uninstall the normal version after purchasing and installing the pro version but so the pro no longer works. So is it necessary to have both the normal and the pro version at the same time?
I would like to install only the pro version, is this possible?
Thanks for the reply
I purchased this application for my watch but after a few commands it loses the set Italian language and the commands are set to English.
It does not work.

i don't have de pro version , google home devices , like smart lights, work fine for me.
So far, much better designed and simpler than GAssist. No need for a phone companion app. On the downside, it seems results are a scrollable webpage. Still lets me control my home devices, so I'm making the switch from GAssist to this one.

What command do You use to start smart devices? Same command works for me on the phone but doesn't on watch. On watch it try to run an application.
This is good! Had to turn of BT. Kept saying no internet. They will fix BT according to the response on youtube.
Was a pain in the ass to type the email and login. Managed to switch to handwriting somehow.
I like I can change the volume with bezel.
Controls all my home smart devices.
Asked to set a reminder. Crashed after I said the time. Then said number of tries exhausted. Please restart app. Then you just have to close it in "Recent Apps" and it works again.
Is there a way to switch to the normal on-watch keyboard during login, vice the T9 one? I'm unable to login in because, for some reason, the T9 keyboard keeps messing up my password.

T9 kept messing up my gmail and pw. It was not typing the correct letters.
I switched to handwriting by accident. So there must be a way.
Turn off predictive text so the T9 will work like it should.
I uninstalled the free version and purchased pro. You have have the free version installed with pro. I tried pro without the free version. Only works if both are installed.
When I turned off predictive text, the T9 worked as expected. When entering password, the handwriting input came up again somehow.
