Hi, I recently received my Kospet Prime 2 and I have it sync’ed with my phone using Droid Watch - awesome piece of software!
I also have Ultimate Launcher installed and I don’t know if the issue I am seeing is related or not but notifications being shown are offset (upper left) and not centered on the watch (see screenshot) - I did some searching and could not find anything yet. I also have no idea where this background image is coming from I only installed some watch faces for Universal Launcher.
Try to disable the 3rd party app adapter. Normally it is disabled, but you may have enabled it to make a specific app look better…
If that is not the problem, could you have tried to set the DPI setting in UL to a non standard value ?
The background images in the notifications are to make them look more fresh. It you don’t like them, try to change notification settings to high contrast.
Thanks for the suggestion! @Dotsfar
I did not set any DPI specific value. I had 3rd Party app adapter setting ON but I turned it off and no change - also restarted Watch. Disabling 3rd party adapter removed the background (now all black) but notifications are still placed at the upper left.
Regarding notifications, could there be conflicts between UL and Droid Watch? Maybe I should uninstall UL and see how notifications behave without it.
i keep getting double notifications on my watch but only from my emails…all the other notifications are single and just fine…i am using outlook…any ideas?
The step counter on my LEM 14 watch seems accurate, but the Step Counter on Watch Droid is wildly wrong. Does the step counter on Watch Droid phone need to be activated for the one on the watch to work? I’ve just de-activated it, so I suppose I’ll find out. My other question, then, is: does the Watch Droid phone app measure steps made by the phone, so to speak, and not relate to the watch at all? Or is it supposed to record the steps counted by the watch? - If so, it doesn’t!
Watch Droid is excellent, by the way, and I’ve just signed up for Premium - with a discount!
Sorry, you’ll have to be more specific: are you talking about permissions on the watch droid app on the watch? Or on the phone? And do you mean ALL permissions, or permissions related to steps, GPS, navigation only? I’ve gone through several iterations of giving permissions, rebooting, etc, but can’t get a reasonable figure on the phone app.
I’ll give you an example. Having posted the post above this morning, I disabled step tracker on the droid watch on the phone. The tracker on the watch continued to work and added about 2000 steps from a short walk I had this afternoon. I’ve just enabled the step counter on the droid watch phone app again and it’s added about 9000 steps from when I disabled it earlier, 21k in total today. Yesterday it counted/added 81k steps, 51km! Using Sync Up from the menu dots doesn’t help, makes no changes. I’ve just used the ‘Resync all data’ button on the phone app (without ‘Delete data from the smartwatch already synced’ and that produced the same 21k figure.
I’ll try uninstalling the phone app now, then reinstalling.
Edit: OK, reinstallation has reset the step count to 2,200, which is probably right for the day’s activities. Maybe that’s fixed it! I still don’t know whether it’s reporting steps recorded by the app on the watch, or whether it’s using the phone’s own built-in counter. I’ll have to see how the phone matches with the figures given on the watch.
Yes, I’ve done all that as far as I can tell. In testing phase now! Thanks.
Edit: Well that didn’t last long. Just been sitting at my computer since the last reading of 2200 steps on the watch droid phone app. My watch counter has added 10 steps just because it counts the waving of your arm (typing). The watch droid app, however, has gone from 2,200 to 6746 - and I haven’t moved!
Edit 2: While typing this, doing nothing, the step count on the phone app went up to 9008 steps. What on earth is it doing? Mustn’t complain, though - apparently I’m getting lots of exercise!
There are some devices that are giving some printed data in the step counter, I have already detected this and I have solved it in a version that I will soon upload to the Play Store, if any user has this problem and wants to try this version this should be solved. I hope soon to be able to put these modifications in the Play Store with other small fixes.
Is there a way to disable the vibration? After upgrading to this firmware the watch vibrates whenever I receive a notification through Watch Droid, even when I have “Do not disturb” enabled. That didn’t happen with the old firmware.
I let the watch on my desk and it is really annoying when it vibrates.
Thank you very much! When I went to that screen I realized that “In silent mode vibrate” whas enabled. It must have enabled when I repaired the smartwatch after factory reseting.
Question: Some of my notifications sent to the watch are complete, I can scroll down and read the whole body of the message. Some are short, a snippet of the body. How can I correct that? is there a setting I can change to download the full notification body to the watch?
Another issue I have, when I go to the complete list of notifications and click on one, sometimes it opens up the wrong one. This usually happens when I’ve hit my max notification number on the watch (20).
I only installed some watch faces for Universal Launcher.
. Thankyou
