SWApp Link: The Best Companion App for your SmartWatch

[porzerwolle]

Cyril, your SWApps is wprking great. Forgotten my phone while shopping in the city, only with TS and BT Headset. There was an incoming phone notification of an important call which was displayed on TS. Phone is about 10 kilometers away.

Very good work & congratulations. Now the TS is also the perfect companion while using it also as standalone.

Nervertheless, it would be great if you can build in a history/call & SMS logbook so than I can comprehend for example the last five or ten calls/SMS.

Thanks for your good work again!

Beta Version Available on Google Play Store

It has to be installed on both device.
So far don't enable SMS if you want to use "Push" otherwise i will only use SMS

http://www.swapps.fr/swapplink.html

!!!! This is a Beta Version, some Features are not yet available !!!!

It can use 3 different ways of communication:
* Bluetooth (not yet)
* Push Notification between devices
* SMS
The user will be able to choose what to use. If more then one is enabled, the app will try to use any of them in this priority order: BT, Push then SMS.
What it does:
•Remotely or Locally enable Call Forwarding between devices, Call Notification (get notified when other device receive a call), SMS Forwarding.
(For example if you forget your phone home, you can remotely set your phone to forward all incoming call on the smartwatch)
•When getting a Call Notification, allow to reject call, take call or make the linked device reply with an SMS
•When getting a SMS Notification, allow to make the linked device reply with an SMS
•Make the linked device place a phone call
•Compose an SMS to be sent by linked device (with a button to use Google Speech to Text) (not yet)
•Make Linked device play a ringtone to be able to find it or flash light in silent mode (silent mode not yet)
•Interphone: Establish a phone call between devices and put remote on loud speaker. Will allow to communicate with people near the phone
•Microphone : Establish a call to hear sounds around remote device
(For both it’s the linked device that initiate the call: the linked device doesn’t ring)
•Get linked device status (Battery level, Memory…) (Only battery lever so far)
•Be notified in case of low battery on linked device
•Remotely Activate Phone lock with password (for example if you forget your phone and don’t use a password)
•Activate “Lost Mode”: Lock linked device and display a message (for example: “I have been lost. I belong to Pierre Martin. Please call me on +…..”) (not yet)
•Remotely Take a Photo and get it (not yet)
•Use linked device as a webcam (not yet)
•Get Remote device GPS Location and show it on google map
•Remotely control music playing (not yet)
•Synchronize Audio mode on both devices (for example: you enter a meeting, if you set your watch on Silent mode, your phone will be set to Silent too) (not yet)
•Night Mode (dark screens) (not yet)

The features that need a sim card are Call Forwarding, Microphone and Megaphone.

Thank you for your feedback ! it's a great use example of the app

Would you be kind enough to write this on the play store ?

Cyril
PS: the sms and call history is on the todo list.

Cyril,
I wonder if you have considered instead of the app chosing the best method to get messages from device 1 to device 2, send using every configured method every time. Just have the remote end ignore the duplicate messages. For example, shoot it out push notification, bluetooth and SMS all at once and whichever gets there first wins...

Just a random thought.

it's a good idea, when BT works, i will let the user choose what configuration to use.

I am extremly satisfied with the push notification mode. So it allows me to separate the location of both devices and getting my notifications anyway...

I activated it in both directions, so I even get notifactions from the TS on the phone.

I will write a very positive comment in playstore when I returned home.

Thx x1000 for the logbook. Now swapp link is absolutely useable and I can choose my preferred custom ROM without a dependance on OUI 2.1.

I can even change the smartwatch if there is an improved device available as maybe the Neptune Pine.

I just updated to the newest version (.932) hoping my force close issue would be gone, but it remains. I have a Verizon Note 2 on Alliance ROM 25. I can open the app to the main page fine, but when I click on any icon, I get a force close. It has done this since the first version you made available.

I realize you need a log to help you fix issues, but I have never submitted a log before. I installed Catlog, and figured out how to record the log, but I don't know how to filter out the parts you need. Any suggestions?

I am really excited to use this app. It looks awesome! (I will be using it with my truesmart as a companion (no sim).

Thanks!

Cyril,

you are magic, man!!!

Tested the music player in both directions. In the moment a lot of bugs. What is functioning: playing music on TS, controlled by smartphone. all buttons are working fine.

In the other direction, playing music on phone, the title and interpret is displayed on TS but the buttons arent working yet. Made several resets but no improvement.

Will test it tomorrow because have to get up early.and no time remaining to continue.

The function works, other we wil see in future. Again a fantastic job and pls go on. Youre on the right way!!!

 

[nkognegr0]

Im using the htc one m8 and the default music player can be controlled with the app. the song title is wrong it still shows the title of the google music player but i can switch songs and control the volume using the watch. The apps works great and thanks for making the watch usable COMPANION WISE!

Cyril, it seems impossible to delete SWApps from TS and my phone. I want to delete and reinstall the actual version from PlayStore...

Is there a "trick"? to do this?

make sure its de-activated in the device administrators settings on your phone and/or ts if your trying to uninstall, might be why it wont uninstall.

As Dragonfly said, you have to de-activated in the device administrators settings first.

Thanks a lot, deleting app on both devices and reinstalling solved all bugs.

All functions that are needed by me, are functioning now smooth and directly.

Call notificatiion comes properly prompt at call's beginning, I can accept or rejedct the call. Very nice. SMS notification comes quickly too.

Player module controls Mortplayer, Avia, ES Player and others.

Curiously the call notification comes on both SIM numbers of my daulSIM Zopo, Thats suuuuuuch a big advantage!!!!

Once again a huge THX to you and i WILL stay tuned.:good::fingers-crossed::silly:

The TS is now a perfect standalone-companion, hehe!

is there any chance we can forward notifications from chat apps (IE. whatsapp / line / wechat)?

That would be a very nice gimmick. Im using both, LINE and Whatsapp on the TS, but its a second SIM card number... also Viber, Skype and IM+...

I'm working on this since this morning

 

[dragonfly1113]

maybe i missed it but is there anyway that when sms's are responded to on the watch that they show up in the chat history on the phones messaging app?

also curious has anyone tried and been successful in using a google voice number as the watchs phone number without the sim and just on wifi?

Thanks,
