I use my watch as a primary phone by putting a SIM card in it. I wonder if you could get a duplicate SIM card from your provider to put in the watch and have one in your regular phone also. I have seen this on the internet…
" Some network operators offer special products to overcome this on-purpose limitation. For example you may get an additional SIM , coded to your telephone number, which disables your first SIM when switched on."
I have never missed a call or message using my Optimus Pro as a standalone, BTW.
To answer your question regarding settings . For years we have all looked for ways to improve battery life on these watches . Ie
Google sync off
Wifi only when needed
3g not 4g
Apps not running in background etc
But then the prime comes along and changes the game . Personally to start with i would forget worrying about the battery ( maybe just turn of wifi ) and see what you think after a hard days use . Then if needed start looking at battery saving options
Then there’s the Launcher choice. I think I want to try the stock launcher before ditching it. I rather like what I see in the videos.
And then there is a Universal Launcher and New Generation Launcher, are they the same in a new version ?
And I saw Luk luk’s cool video with Nova Launcher… When using Nova Launcher, which choice of watch faces do we have ? Seems the watchface compatibility follows the Launcher type.
Universal Launcher New Gen is the name on Playstore. Yes, it’s the same one. If you don’t use it, you won’t be able to see all of the AWESOME type watchfaces (not the wimpy ones IMO) created here including mine. Just sayin’.
I see some disliking the WiiWatch app. What’s wrong with it ? I noticed it has also file transfer option, so even when taking notifications to an other app, isn’t it handy to keep WiiWatch for at least that purpose ?
Is there a general startup guide ? E.g. I have no contacts on the watch although WiiWatch2 connected and allowed access to contacts, but come to think of it I probably need to connect my Google account and it will sync through there - probably there are more things like that to do - did anyone make a step by step setup guide ?
I am trying out the stock browser. When I open it there is a page with shortcuts to pages, one of them being Kospet.com naturally. I have tried long pressing one or adding one with the + sign, but I can’t seem to figure out how to program one of the other shurtcuts to my most used pages. Can anyone guide ?
Then there seems to be other choices of browser, which one and why do you recommend ?
One strange observation - turned on flip watch to see time, but a bit later it was off again - very strange…
After walking the dogs, it didn’t seem like WiiWatch2 reconnected until I opened the app… - ahhh, I just realize I should check the power settings, that it is allowed to run in background etc…
Just connected App Store, and my watch was called a Xolo Prime
It’ll probably sync with your Google account, or you could manually export the list from the device you were using before
2+3. Stock browser is eughh, I use Via cuz there you can change the tabs easily without going to square mode unlike in Chrome (in Via the bar-thing with the change tabs button and stuff is in the bottom), and it works just fine.
The hands-on feature works like that, unless you click on the screen once, it will turn off automatically after a few secs. It’s made to be that way to save battery i guess if you just want to see the time
I don’t use WiiWatch or any similar app, so I say anything about that. Try to disable it in battery saver like you said
5,5h battery life, of course with very much screen on time. Hope I will get better results going forward. That was from full charge to auto shutdown.
Observed that wrist movement detection turned on display often when I wasn’t trying to, while sometimes it was quite difficult to do it on purpose.
Would like some sound or vibration when receiving SMS from build in sim, and also for notifications getting through from phone with WiiWatch. Can this be achieved ?
In fact, the battery only reached its maximum capacity after a few charging cycles. In addition, you should make a few optimizations. Nobody can tell you the perfect settings for you. You will have to experiment a little …
But I have a tip for you. Deactivate Google Auto sync.
I have a new social networking app called Okuna. It only shows the startup screen for a brief part of a second and then terminates. Anything I can try with such behaviour ?
I didn’t use the stock launcher very much, but I don’t remember having any problems with notifications or sound. I dont have these problems with the Universal launcher neither.
I think the Universal launcher improved the wrist movement detection, when you do it on purpose. You cannot avoid turning on the screen accidentaly. It depends on how often you move your hand I turn this feature on when i’m out for a job or go for a walk, but i turn it off when i do my 5km running.
The battery is really satisfying, although i don’t have experience with other smartwatches. Of course, the more you have your screen on, the quicker the battery will be drained. I did a lot of battery tests the first days i had the watch on my hands.
The battery is drained about 3% per hour, only with the sim installed. It is drained 6% with sim and data enabled. I use Macrodroid for bluetooth, in order to automatically turn it on/off, when a call is active, that saves alot of battery. Wifi drains much less than data, unless your phone does updates, etch.
In the most extreme draining contition i put my watch, when i run, for about 35min i have sim and data enabled, strava tracking my activity, gps enabled, bt connecting my watch with my handsfree set and streaming radiotunes (an internet radio app), the batterry looses only 16-18%!!! I’m really pleased with this performance
) and see what you think after a hard days use . Then if needed start looking at battery saving options
I turn this feature on when i’m out for a job or go for a walk, but i turn it off when i do my 5km running.
