I have a Fitbit Ionic smartwatch with NFC, and like to use an app running under Android. Is it possible to use to NFC in my smartwatch and a NFC emulator on my Android tablet (without NFC) to send via Bluetooth information my smartwatch gets via NFC to my Android tablet, emulate NFC on the tablet and make use of an Android app that uses NFC?
Specifically, I like run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freestylelibre.app.gb on my tablet, making use of the NFC on my smartwatch, by using an app on my smartwatch that communicates via Bluetooth with a NFC emulator running on my rooted tablet.

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

This is the only one I know of, but you can google for other set ups.
Is it possible to use the SmartWatch2 as a touchpad so to remotelly control the phone when connected to TV via MHL instead of having to buy an additional bluetooth device like mouse, touchpad, etc?

I know this is an old post, but I am interested now. Found my aging Xperia Z and Smartwatch 2 inside the cabinet gathering dust. Might as well use them both for something else. Anybody knows if it is possible? Is there such an app? I googled around and found only this post.
Is it possible to intall apps on the sw3 and use it with an iphone?
All Android Wear watches, including the Sony Smartwatch 3, work with the iPhone. If your watch is too old you might need to connect it to an Android phone or computer to install an update first. The iPhone does not support apps but if you have an app that it completely independent (doesn't need a companion app on the phone to work) then you can download the Android APK and extract the watch's micro-APK from it, then use adb to install it to the watch.
any instructions on how to do this
Anybody where uses is Sony Smartwatch 3 with iphone?
i want to install more APPS but i don´t know how...
Any updates on this topic?

Hello, any news on this topic? I am wondering in using the SW3 as a standalone device with no pairing to any smartphone. Do you think this will be possible? Wifi and BT options only display when connected to an Android smartphone, not by pairing to iPhone.
Thank you.

This is not possible; you have to set up the watch with a phone before you can use it. Android Wear 2.0 will allow standalone apps, but I'm not sure about using the watch without setting it up with a phone, especially when the watch won't have its own cellular connection.
Hello.
I recently accidentally put my sw3 under my phone and it opened wear app by scanning watch via NFC. It would be very nice if I could program that NFC anyway I want. But NFC Tools says it's read-only... I managed to add that NFC as trusted device in SmartLock and it can unlock my phone now, but after that it also opens wear app... Because it's a watch, not a tag maybe there's the way to reprogram it?
Thanks
Anyone using a USB pluggable external GPS on the Pixel C?
How well is it working out for you and which model did you go with?
I don't use USB, but Bluetooth from my phone. Works great.

How are sending the phone's GPS data to the tablet over Bluetooth? What app(s) are you using to make it work?
Thank you for responding.
So I tried using a USB-GPS unit with a Nexus 9 once. The N9 has it's own built in GPS just like cellphones.
And I found it was difficult to get the phone to use the USB-GPS. I kept having to fiddle with it. It just never really worked seamlessly.
What was your experience with the Bluetooth GPS? Was it a set-it-and-forget-it kind of deal or did you have to turn it on all the time, etc?
On the phone I use Bluetooth GPS Output (paid, after testing with the free version) by Meowsbox. On my tablet I use Bluetooth GPS by GG Moblab. Once paired and connected through the two apps (you have to enable a mock location server on the tablet, but the app walks you through it, I use the widgets to first start the server on my phone, than the client on my tablet. This setup works flawlessly for me.
