SWApp Link: The Best Companion App for your SmartWatch

[dragonfly1113]

Happy the time sync feature is working again. Is there anyway to turn off the history option for the sms messages ?

Anyone else having problems with the app just freezing up a lot more than normal? Like when trying to scroll through the app or looks at incoming messages?

sent from my note 3 running beans.

*SWApp Link dev update 0.99id*

New Auto Browse Notifications: if you receive more than one notification it will show you the other ones one after the other. The delay can be set in the settings. If you touch the screen it will pause until a new notification comes. If autoclose is enabled it will close after the more recent notification
You can choose to mark notifications as read when auto browsed
You can now set a min delay between two vibration (5s by default) to avoid continuous vibration when receiving multiple notifications
Some watches had freezing, should be fixed

Just updated to 0.99ie. Only issue noticed so far is that the clock in my TS doesnt display the remote battery % correctly until I actually go to the menu and press the battery button.

One suggestion for your to-do list, not high priority, but I would add small text labels below the icons in the main menu. Some of the icons look very similar and usually I have a hard time remembering, at a glance, what some of them are for, and I think labels would be simpler than having to long-press each icon until I find the one I need.

Is there a guide for the App. For instance, Can I call with the normal call app? (I imagened a "pop-up where you can choose which app to use)
Where can I say which apps I want to get a notification from? (I want exchange email to be notified of)
How does the "start remote app" button works? I choose a few programs but it still say, choose programs when I press that button.
It's just that I hate my lack of knowledge at this point and that all the info is scattered between Google+ and XDA.

I'm writing a guide right now for it. It's going through a lot of changes so once I've caught up it'll be good to go.

Hey,
You have to rember, that this App is bridge between two Android devices, so many options have to be set on both ends for proper work.
So if you want to send notification from any application, you have to:
1. Be sure to run Android 4.3 or above (before that, userland applications didn't have access to other app notification.
2. On sender side (most of time its your phone), go to config->notifications->enable app notification, and enable SWApp to intercept other apps notification.
3. Then on same level, select "select apps to listen to" and choose all aps, that SWApp will listen to
4. Make sure that "forward local notifications" is enabled.
5. On watch (receiver) make sure, that "settings->link settings->listen to linked device" is enabled

Now SWApp on sender side (phone) should forward selected apps notifications to reciver (watch).

As for "start remote app", be sure to first select programs on OTHER side. So if you want to run apps on phone from watch, fist select apps on phone, and then run "start remote app" from watch.

Hey I just found something very cool / odd lol... I bought a xiaomi mikey (pressy clone, and yes I bought pressy too) and download the app

http://app.mi.com/detail/59090

Now weirdly when on my TS if I go into Swapps, then music and hit the pause button it will launch the single click action that has been setup by the App on my smartphone, for example I can remotely start the light, or camera etc...

Bluetooth Notification Issue

Hi,

im having problem with notification on my TS.
When there is an incoming message whether it is from whatsapp, SMS or BBM on my Note2, the notification did not appear immediately on my TS. Either 5 minutes later or whenever i turn on the TS screen.

Is it normal?
FYI the connection done by using bouetooth only, no push setting activated.
the problem start to appear after i update the swapp app.

For the rest i must say this app is getting better and better,
thanks,

Hi!

First of all, I want to thank cyrilp for his efforts in fixing bugs from crash reports and for adding new features. :good:

I'm testing the app while I figure out why I can't get a always-connected status using bluetooth between my S3 running CM and my TS.

My phone just updated SWApp Link to version 0.99k from Google Play but I can't find the APK here.
Google Play got crazy?

Thanks, it now makes sense lol

I found a (tiny) bug... In Settings > Bluetooth Virtual Leash, when you change the Warning activation delay, you need to close the app and reopen it to see the change. I know, it's a low priority bug, but it's a quick-to-fix one too.

I'm also getting a too-large vibration (like 5 or 6 seconds long) sometimes when receiving a notification. It may be a bug but anyway it would be cool to be able to adjust the vibration time (or even disable it completely). :cyclops:

My battery started dying (I think since version jd) after reaching near 50% but I guess it's not because of the app. I didn't change it yet because I don't want to open the watch. :cyclops:

Anyone had this problem?

Unable to see notification from master device to companion device on companion device

This is the first time I am using the application with my Galaxy Note 3 (master) and Truesmart (companion). I have it set to communicate via sms and I see the transmission of the sms messages for requests that occur from the master to the companion device. I also see the transmission of the sms messages for a requests for battery status from the companion to the master device. But I do not see the status update on the companion device or the notification message occurring when the SMS message is transmitted to the companion. Since the Master device is responding to the request battery status message from the companion device I am assuming that the format is valid since it is being sent back to the companion device. Anything I should check specifically to verify that the companion device is processing the response message? I am now running the latest version which requires configuration of the device (which I like very much).
