Background first: I've owned the Sony Smartwatch since the beginning of the year and other than the usual charging issue, it was working fine for the first few months. I ran into a point where no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work and then found the "solution" (for me, anyway), which was doing some scraping of the connections and it would charge, but not all the time, it still took some tweaking and pressure points, etc. I believe in between the last time I wore it regularly until about 2 weeks ago, it was working fine, but I hadn't used it for about a month or so prior to that. And now the accelerometer does not seem to be working anymore and I'm not sure if it's from the latest software/firmware upgrade or something else I did. It does not vibrate when coming on or turning off and definitely doesn't work when I get an alert.
So, the question: Has this happened to anyone else? I have a Galaxy SIII and have had it the entire time I've used the Smartwatch. I have not upgraded the ROM on the phone, and only the Smartwatch/Smartconnect apps and the firmware on the watch have been changed, and as far as I know, it was never dropped or harmed enough to jar the accelerometer, and was in a drawer waiting to be used.
This week I picked up a Pebble and have found that it's usefulness goes beyond the Smartwatch, even though there might be more power in the Sony. Because of the frustration of the charging and the usefulness of the Pebble, I've opted to sell the Sony, and I'm hoping someone out there has been able to solve this so that I can actually sell a functioning watch. Also, if anyone is interested in making an offer the way it is, feel free to PM me.
