SWApp Link: The Best Companion App for your SmartWatch

[cyrilp]

Great!
I just tested SMS conection and it works! Nice! But it need some more polishing I guess
First of outgoing Call and SMS notification (I haven't tested apps notification yet) generated 2 SMS per action.
Also (and this is not only for SMS connection, but for call connection) - at the end off call, additional call notify is generated.

So now when someone is calling, this SMS exchange take place:
SMS 1) Phone->Watch: Incomming Call Notify
SMS 2) Phone->Watch: Incomming Call Notify (extra one not needed)
SMS 3) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (now I reject call on watch)
SMS 4) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (another one send)
SMS 5) Phone->Watch: Call End Received
SMS 6) Phone->Watch: Call End Received (another?)
SMS 7) Phone->Watch: Call End Received (and another)
SMS 8) Phone->Watch: Call End Received (and one more)
SMS 9) Phone->Watch: Out Going Call Notify (this one generates ANOTHER "fake" call notification on watch)
SMS 10) Phone->Watch: Out Going Call Notify (and another one)
Now I have extra two overlapped call notification on watch (even thou call have ended) so I "dissmiss" them with call reject
SMS 11) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (first "reject")
SMS 12) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (duplicated message)
SMS 13) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (second "reject")
SMS 14) Watch->Phone: Reject Call Request (duplicated message)

So now problems are:
1) duplicated mesages
2) extra fake outgoing call notify at the end of call (I think not connected with SMS link, but general)

PS. As for app icons not available on SMS link, application could cache icons when there is push or BT connection available, and reuse them during SMS connection

Cheers!

thanks for the feedback, i will work on it as soon as i can

I've also noticed if you're using the white background theme and add contacts as favourites to text the text doesn't display at all. Also in the newest EA version my lockscreen lights up but now I no longer see Messenger alerts come up straight on the screen. What gives?

this should be fixed in last version, let me know if it's not the case

Same with me Here on my Note3 Kitkat

Hi Cyrilp,

I know you are so busy on adding some of our requests. I was just wondering if you can add the character count on the SMS to make sure that I am sending 160characters and also an option to delete the Notifications because I have almost 500+ notification that I cannot clear. Thanks a lot and more power!

the char count is on the todo list.

to mark all notifications as read, long click on the "3 layers" icon. (or any other app icon if you only want to mark those as read)

2 possible bugs happened today:

- click to write sms
- long click on recycle icon => crash
- choose a contact from recycle
- long click on contact => crash


- receive a sms from Alice
- start a reply to Alice
- receive a sms from Bob
- reply to Bob
- end reply to Alice
=> Bob received both sms, Alice none.

thanks for reporting, i will loot at this

Completely redone the theme engine to make it easier to add new items. Now almost the colors and icons of the app are customizable (i will post more information about this later)
Added icons in the settings to make them easier to browse. User can disable them in UI Settings
Bluetooth Virtual Leash is fixed
Launching remote or local app from notification is fixed
Getting incoming notification over the clock when "use as lockscreen" is enabled is fixed
Turning on the screen on incoming notification didn't work for some devices (Gear, Pine) now it's fixed
Marking all Notifications as read from within a list doesn't let a blank screen anymore but go back to main notification management screen
Exiting the ringing "find my phone" or "timer" alert with back or home key now stop the alarm
Megaphone feature icon was missing since last icons change, it's back
Added mini help for notification management (long click the icon)
New App Icon

Hi Cyrilp,

I am new to XDA (and the omeate watch). Really thanks for your effort to provide a useful companion app to the watch. Without your app, the watch is just nothing! Thank You Cyrilp

I am now using 0.99f version, I would like to know when notification came, my watch will vibrate, is it come with sound notification as well?
And I am having problem with the lockscreen. I do set the Clock face as lock screen within the SWAPP link app. However, when I put the watch to sleep and press the power button again, it will go to my desktop right away, without displaying the clock face.

Another problem in 0.99ea version, when notification came, it turn on screen and show the notification. After the screen time out and I wake my watch, it will display clock face rather than my unread notification. Is it normal?

Same here. Since yesterday and 0.99f, watchface is not showing up. (reboot or uncheck/chek do nothing)

I just updated to 0.99g. No new bugs or app crashes noticed so far

However, I still can't see clock on my phone (in the TS it works fine). When I click the clock icon, the screen goes black except for the BT/push status bar. When I press the back button, it goes back to the menu normally (at least it doesn't crash anymore

Same happens when I try to select a clockface. I can see the 5 faces available, when I tap any of them the screen goes black except for the status bar. When I press back I get asked if I want to select it as clockface. I've tried to switch to every design but none work. Any suggestions? Should I try to reinstall the app?

My phone is a Galaxy Note 2 with stock Android 4.1.1, rooted.

Same here, clock face cannot show after set in SWAPP. When wake from sleep, it just show the normal desktop screen.

Hi,

I still can't get the TS to sync its time to my smartphone, this was arguably one of the most valuable features

SMS pop under

Hello,

When I receive SMS split to several parts (fairly common case, as SMS in national language is only 70 chars long) SWApp do 2 things:
1) split SMS in parts (so I receive several messages) - maybe it should try to join them as all phones do and treat as single message.
2) new SMS part pop up over old ones - so I have to read SMS backward :silly: - maybe new messages should pop under (before you add SMS to notification center management?)

Chees!

Using 0.99g, so far OK, connection works well with my LG G2.
The only bug experienced:
1) Clock face not work - Using system lockscreen instead, just miss"smooth second hand" function in SWAPP
2) If my notification box (the first and second icon) is empty, it will crash if I tap on it.

 

[cyrilp]

*SWApp Link dev update 0.99h*

New incoming and outgoing call notifications:
you can now choose the text color (Theme or magic color(color automatically match the photo)
Auto adapt text size.
you can now choose the text's background (Blurred or plain with theme or magic color)
(in the screenshot, each time a text or background color is not black or white it has been automatically chosen to match the photo)

Better behaviour of the incoming and outgoing call notifications (still not perfect)
more bugs fixed

*SWApp Link dev update 0.99i*

1. New Contact Sync Feature
This new feature will enable to share contacts information from your phone to your watch. For example if your watch doesn't have a photo for a specific contact but it's available on your phone, it will be sent automatically from the phone to the watch to be displayed in notifications. (if more then one picture is available, the higher res one is sent)
2. SMS Notifications are now included in the Notification Management system
3. Long SMS that were splited are now concatenated
4. Better behaviour of incoming and outgoing call notifications
5. Wiping data on phone without doing it on the watch could create problems in the notifications management feature: fixed
6. 2 new versions of Elegance Clockface. A white on black one (that works great with amoled screen) and a Black on White (that will work great on transflective display such as the InWatch Z. In addition you can now choose between 24H/12H format by touching the digital Hour
7. On some watches the clockface didn't show (a black or white screen was displayed instead). Fixed
8. System Clock sync fixed and new Auto sync feature (if watch time is different from phone time it's automatically synchronized, user can choose threshold)
9. Remote Media Control night mode fixed (the background didn't turn black making the white text invisible)
10.Dutch Localization updated (Han Op de kelder and Roland Harms)
11. Finnish Localization updated (Eemeli Saarelainen)
12. German Localization updated (Philipp Wiesner and Mein Ich)
13. Greek Localization updated (Christos Vorkas)
14. Hebrew Localization updated (Pavel Shatsman)
15. Italian Localization updated (Vittorio Cerciello)
16. New Polish Localization (Piotr Kaminski)

Hi there,

I have a Gear 1 with the latest null rom and I have a few questions:

I cant get this app to work, ideally (I know a long shot) I would like to get it to work with the Blackberry Z10 (it does install and launch, but that's it.) I have also tried on an LG P705g with android 4.4.2 installed.

So, my questions are, the gear only has Bluetooth. Should I be able to run this app with Bluetooth only to see calls and receive notifications without needing to internet tether?

Is there a way in the app to see if the app is communicating between the phone and the watch?

I read thru this whole thread and I didn't see anything to really help me, but maybe I missed something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
