Sony SW2 = No Longer Supported By Sony Apps........Please Help

[Louise72]

Hello
I am new to your site, so i hope this is ok to post here.
Please help........I fell for a beautiful all singing all dancing Sony SW2 on ebay, unfortunatly Sony tell me that the SW2 is a no longer a product supported by Sony and that is why the Smart Connect app is available but not the Sony Smartwatch 2 Host. The watch does say it is connected to my Xperia L3 and vise versa but it is not responsive at all to the phone. and if i turn the watch off then on again it just asks me for the SW2 host again.
Is there a way of over riding the watches request for the host app or have i just paid £42 for a lovely looking calculater watch?
Thank you all in advance.
Louise

Same issue here. Just gave it to my son. He has OnePlus 3. Sony actually hosts the APK file on their site, but when I install it, you can only hit "Done", as "Open" is grayed out. There is nothing in the app drawer, and nothing under internal storage/Android/data

Master app is the "Sony Smart Connect" the "Smartwatch SW2" app is only a plugin for the master app.

But not all "Smart Connect App" works with all phone/watch/plugin. I must often install older Smart Connect Version depend of phone and Android version. Not special rules, I must try differents versions from my differents backup until it works. It is the game with older device and older software on older or newest phone and OS

I just found this site and downloaded your backup but how do I get it to my smartwatch2? I tried plugging the usb cord from the watch to my pc but nothing registers under "My Computer" to be able to transfer a file?

Is there any apps/extensions who still works on Sony smartwatch 2? I just have the five basic apps(alarm, flashlight, calculator, stop watch and timer. I have tried to install several apps/extensions but nothing have been synced to the watch so that I could use them

 

[dersie]

Almost all works. Just need use old Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 plugin.

I use Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001
and Smartwatch 2 app V 1.6.31

this works on Android 11

Hello everyone! Extensions don't seem to show on the app after being installed. I'm using a Galaxy A50 on Android 10 / OneUI 2.5, any clue?

Thank you for the reply, I have both of those apps with exact same version as you wrote, what extensions do you use at your watch?

You're a lifesaver. Just got it working on android Q. Thanks!

If it helps anyone : I had installed first the Sony Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001, then tried connecting to the watch, then installed the apk Smartwatch2 app V1.6.31 from Sony's website.
It did not work, even after a reboot, because the Smart connect was still trying to install the plugin.
I removed and reinstalled the Sony Smart Connect app and rebooted the phone : it recognized the plugin automatically.
So I would say : try installing the SmartWatch2 host apk first, then the Smart Connect app from the store.

Hi. Is there a call app available? Don't need to answer, just want to see who's calling when a call comes in, I answer on my headset. Really desperate, does anybody have any info? Thanks

Informer - Notifications for Sony SW2​

This app is the only one I found that displayed missed calls etc. It's rather unreliable for me. Try it yourself.

Thanks, I've downloaded it. Quite good but doesn't really seem to do calls. I went on to Sony and they seem to have the calling apk but I can't get it to work. Does it work for anyone else?

I bought this watch 2 days ago, having a nightmare with it. Hours and hours trying to make it work at my Samsung 10. Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch App installed and paring with the phone. The problem is that as I could search on the web, the native apps provided in Sony's website just work with Sony smartphones. At the end of the day it is a useless smartwatch if you expect it to at least have the Calling Function.
