*ClockFace Selection*

*SWApp Link dev update 0.935b*

You can now choose the clockface (from settings).

The clocks in the list are real clock showing the actual time ;)

I have more clocks to add.

Credits to +Daniel Ortiz and +Roy King for those first clockfaces.

If you want your own clockfaces added to the app, send me your files:
https://plus.google.com/101149847908870195450/posts/jfFJts5bQDW

There is a slight bug: when you choose a new clock and come back from the settings the clock take some seconds to update. I will fix this, but i'm taking my GF to the cinema and wanted to send you this update before i come back.

call acceptance and sending through dialpad

is it possible to add a feature in this app, to recieve calls and send calls through the dialpad without a sim card and phone having to be next to you kinda like the samsung gear does,because this app would be better than the gear manager in many ways(i love this app great job)that would be great thanks.

*Voice Control*

*SWApp Link dev update 0.935*

You can now enable *Voice Control*

When the app is listening the red mic icon will be displayed. The Android SpeechRecognizer is very unstable. when it crashes the icon disappear, if it's the case wait until it come back.
The listening is only active when the app is displayed, therefore there shouldn't be any problem with battery.
The implementation in only partial so far.

Key words on the main screen or clock screen:
Call : Remote Call
Text: Remote SMS
Play: Media player control
Find: Find my phone
Lock: Remote Lock
Location: Get GPS Location
Setting : Settings
Clock : Display the analog clock
Stop: Stop Listening

Key words on incoming notification: (not for call or sms notification so far)
Dismiss
Local : open app on local device
Remote : open app on remote device
Stop: Stop Listening

*Stay tuned, a LOT more to come...*

*Shake it !!*

*SWApp Link dev update 0.936*



* On main screen and clockface: shake to toggle Voice Control On/Off (to be enabled in settings)


* On Notification, Shake to Dismiss



I will add more implementations in the app, like in media player control.

*HUGE update*

*SWApp Link dev update 0.936c*

*Please go in settings menu to choose your communication type, it has been changed since last version*

I have completely rewritten the communication engine:
Better Stability
Possibility to enable independently each Communication type (only the first instruction is taken into account)
Keep Alive and Status check for Push Type (local and linked names are red or green following their status)
Option to sync Connection type: when a connection type is enabled/disabled on a device it’s synchronized on the other (if there is an active connection)
....

Other:
Many new languages (Spanish, Finnish, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, Greek and Dutch)
Settings menu can now be displayed with a white or black background, and the font size can be adjusted (small, normal, big).
Many Bugs fixed
...

We have grown too fast and reached the quotas on Google app Engine :(

I have sent a request to google to higher my quotas but until it's done you might encounter problem with the push communication.

There is now a notification for Outgoing calls too, which will allow you to hang up from the watch.

Incoming and Outgoing calls notification are now automatically dismissed at the end of the call.

PS: Push keep alive min delay as been brought to 5 min as i'm having problems with the Quota on google app engine. I'll see if i can lower it later.

    Whoa!

    This looks like a dream app for full android smartwatch owners! Can you please update on the progress? Any way we can help? We're all tired of the less than adequate helper apps provided by the OEM!

    the M2D apps are better choices now and the developer works on improving it for our use so go to this site and look for the thread about the app:) http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/
