Hi.
I am thinking of getting a ZW2 but have a few questions:
Is it possible to connect the watch to a pc and copy files onto it?
Are there tweaks available to get better battery? (or do you think there will be)
Is it possible to play music from the watch? It doesnt have a audio connector - bluetooth headset? (play music from watch, not the phone)
How are apps installed?
I am thinking of programming own apps and test them.
Is it possible to phone with it, Knight Rider style?
Q. Is it possible to connect the watch to a pc and copy files onto it?
A. I don't think. You can only sync files from your phone via Bluetooth or WIFI.
Q. Are there tweaks available to get better battery? (or do you think there will be)
A. Not that I know of, but maybe you can disable some apps and services you do not use.
Q. Is it possible to play music from the watch? It doesnt have a audio connector - bluetooth headset? (play music from watch, not the phone)
A. Yes, but first you have to sync music files from your phone via Bluetooth and then use a Bluetooth headset.
Q. How are apps installed?
A. They sync from your phone after installing them.
Q. Is it possible to phone with it, Knight Rider style?
A. No, since it doesn't have a SIM slot. You can use it to operate your phone with it (pick up/reject incoming calls).
Hope that helps.
Thanks

When I get a chance. I am writing up a hole page of things to do with this watch. Work and so much around the house to do. I haven't had a chance yet. There is a lot of ways you can get great battery life.
Just a question: Are there hardware mods known too?
(or are there on the ZW1?)
hardware mod comparable to.... adding thermal paste to the LG G3.

I rather was thinking about a bluetooth headset, not being on the ear but on the wrist.
It doesnt need a SIM card, the watch definitly has all things needed to phone Knight Rider

Of course you can use even wired headphones controlled by the watch.

Hello developers,
You are simply great. You make a lot of nice stuff day by day. Thanks all of you!!!
My question:
Can someone of you disable the hero receiving signals from the headset. Even if I use simple earphones, when I stand up, or turn my body, the music stops, the phone calls the latest called person.
Can somebody do it?

You can use a different music player from the market. As far as I know not every app reacts to remote commands
You should edit your /etc/bluez/audio.conf file
[General]
Enable=Sink,Headset,Gateway,Source
Disable=Control
This SHOULD work, but you've gotta test it.
@klaus27
it's a good idea
but it still makes calls
@adwinp
I don't have this file
which ROM has it?

EVERY ROM has it.
just adb pull it, and re-push it, then reboot.
Or you can edit in place, just remount /system/ as rw, open the file in nano, and that's it.

Try /system/etc/bluez/audio.conf
/system/etc is the real location of the etc folder. /etc/ is a symlink to /system/etc, and maybe it's not there in all ROMs.
EDIT: Although, I'm not 100% sure changing the bluetooth settings will affect a plug-in headset.
I found it, thanks
I'm editing it right now
It didn't work. : I
The remote still works, and it drops calls if I move while calling
Is there any way to redirect music to bluetooth? That would solve everything.
the file looks like this now:
# Configuration file for the bluez audio plugin (A2DP)
[General]
Enable=Source,Gateway,Sink,Headset
Disable=Control
# Switch to master role for incoming connections (defaults to true)
#Master=true
# Just an example of potential config options for the other interfaces
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0
[AVRCP]
InputDeviceName=AVRCP
Is it okay like this?
just buy a set of headphones off eBay for a quid.sorted
I have one and I love it
but it does the same, even if it has no remote
I sit down, stand up, turn around and it drops calls, stops music etc.
what developer can help me to disable it?
it is so stupid. I bought this phone not really cheap, and now I have to buy an mp3 player?!
android is opened
I'm sure, that somebody can help me.
I pay 10$ for the person, who solves it. Exactly: I can listen to music on my wired earphones without changing to the next, calling somebody or dropping call by itself.
I have never had that, but with the apple inear headphones clicking the center button twice made it call the last person in the call list but " Meridian Player conservative " has an option to turn on the controls for the player so now double clicking the middle changes the song! Give it a try
Hoped this helped
If I understand exactly, you use simple headphones WIRED, no BT.
And, try you another headphones? Or problem is in HERO. Some broke down in jack connector?
What original firmware? Same problem?
I use koss plugin with hero fw htc, sensehero1.6 and now with Androbin, without problem.
With my previous phone i have similar problem with hands-free headphones with "call button".
I have sensehero 1.6 on the device and it is the same with the original headset or my simple philips earphones.
But I'll try the meridian player : )

Hi!

Right!
I'd like to watch movies in night but my family wants to sleep^^
So, is it possible?
get a headphone and connect it with your computer in the speaker port :|
^^^
You didn't really solve the problem.
Here's the easy way... get a small fm-transmitter. "you can pick them up for cheap"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_transmitter_(personal_device)
Plug it into your pc.
Now use the FM-Radio on your phone.
I looked for apps that might allow for bluetooth or wifi audio to be transmitted to your phone but so far nothing.
Also please post questions in the Q&A pages.

I have got headphones! But they are not long enouth!
Btw: I'm not silly. You?
I think I'll try the FM.
Thanks
You could probably use vlc to stream the movie from the computer to the phone and then wear the headphones, the phone would still play the movie but you don't have to look at it.
It would take some setting up but it could be done. I have used vlc to stream my tv-card over the network using dvschedular but it would be difficult for me to say you need to do x,y and z as everyones networks are different.
As well as getting the video/audio streamed you then have to find an app to play it...

is there really such app your looking for?
there was an app for that. I listened to music like this, but you need to have WIFI on PC.

Can I try it for free?
don't know...
Do as I do: if there is no trial, find a cracked one, try it, then BUY IT if it works! (i have bought a lot of apps and PC games this way - so piracy is not bad if you end up buying the product after you try it)
Hi,
yes there is a trail and no, it doesn't really work. The sound is 3 seconds to late.
I think my network is to slow...

It's due to the time it takes to encode, transmit and decode.
The best option you will find is the one i offered.
and a fm transmitter will be cheaper than vnc application.
ooor, there is a very fast way to remove sound from movies (split audio and video). Put audio to mobile, start movie on pc and sound on phone. That way it even conserves battery (no WIFI or net required) on phone.

That may cause audio sync problems.
It also means you have to split every movie you watch.
Is it possible to use the tablet S (paired to a driod X) as a speaker phone in the same manner as as using a bluetooth headset?

I think headsets were designed specifically to act as bluetooth speakers with your phone and contain all the necessary hardware and software to do such. Your tablet s has no such hardware or software; yes, it has bluetooth, but it is not designed to operate that way. Maybe if somebody wrote a software program to do it, it could, but for the mean time, no your tablet will not work as a speaker for your phone.
I have been able to pair my droidx with the tablet, but not much else. Has anyone been able to stream or transfer files between the two?

I use FileExpert for it. Rightclick on file --> Share via Bluetooth
Rarely use Bluetooth tho, mostly ftp share (also possible with FE)

Well I'm sure thats not what u meant, but its the only way afaik. U could get urself an online number (e.g. Swype) and just forward all calls from ur droid X to this number.
Works fine, but I was told the caller didnt understand me as clear as he did with my phone's speaker turned on.
not the answer to the OP's question, but its the answer to the thread question is
GrooveIp
set up your google voice number to use google talk as one of you forwarding phone numbers,
the sign into groove ip.
free calls over wifi
this should be a sticky somewhere mods
Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong category.
What I want to achieve is:
1. To stream audio (MP3s, calls) from my phone to my car stereo
2. To do this, and other functions of my phone, without taking the phone out of my pocket at all.
I'm going to be buying a Galaxy S5 in the very near future, and also my car stereo is knackered, so I thought now is a good time to shake things up. What I was thinking of was to get a new car stereo that has Bluetooth, and then use an NFC tag stuck on to the seat of my car, and the Trigger app, that when connected will turn on Bluetooth on my phone, and turn on voice commands.
First of all, what can one do with voice commands these days? I currently have a Galaxy S2, and with that one, it's not very much. What I'll want to do is call people, amswer the phone when people call me, write SMS/Whatsapp messages, and have them read out to me, set calendar entries and reminders, play music by going through my music library and reading it out to me.
Is this all possible in Android, or will I need a 3rd party app? To complicate things further, is it possible to replace current commands with other ones, where I would record them into the phone? The reason I ask is because my first language is Welsh. This also means that most my text messages will be in Welsh, so I will need to be able to write them in letter-by-letter, and also have them read out to me letter-by-letter. Possible?
Secondly, what sort of car stereo should I get for this? One with Bluetooth of course, but what other features should I look out for that I might need? Or should I go for a Parrot system?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello guys,
i hope im posting this in the right section.. so here is what im looking for:
my car's radio supports only bluetooth phone function so i cant play music via bluetooth.. but i got this idea last time when even the phone function of whatsapp worked with the bluetooth of my car:
is there an app to play music via the bluetooth-phone instead of bluetooth-headset function? and if not can somebody give me a hint or usefull tutorials (playing music app, using bluetooth and so on) on how to develop such an app?
would be really great if u guys can help me with this it really pisses me off that i cant use bluetooth to play my music! and im sure this would help many others too!
thanks!
First thing this is the wrong section.......
Second.....you don't need an app to do it man.....just connect to your car stereo....then go to Bluetooth settings.....click on the name of your stereo device....open device settings.....there will be an option for use as speaker or something like that....I don't remember the exact words....but I've done it before.....
Third.....always search for tutorials before posting direct questions......
Fouth press thanks buttons if i helped.....
sorry for my late answer..
this didnt help at all.. i dont know if u ever had a radio which is able to only use bluetooth for phone calls. if it would be possible i would have found it in the radio settings for sure but this is the 2nd radio i had to deal with which isnt possible to play music via bluetooth even though it has bluetooth! i would be able to find bluetooth option under sourcers of music playing devices right next to the usb and CD option but there is no bluetooth option.. im not that dumb bro

I guess you got him wrong. You have to look at the Bluetooth settings on your phone and search for your car's radio as output source. If you have paired your device with your radio, you should be able to stream your music to your radio via Bluetooth if supported.
In case your car isn't able to support music playback, then there is no possibility for you to listen to your music besides buying a radio which is able to do so.

at least you understood me right
but is there really no way using phone function to play music? i mean whatsapp is just an app it should be possible developing an selfmade app to create phone bluetooth connection and then play your own music through it. or isnt the bluetooth-phone "tunnel" able to use for other things except calls?
Your issue is that your car radio desert support A2DP protocol. This is what is used to send and receive music to devices.
What you won't to do will not work unless you build an app that sends it's audio through the protocols for the phone. Here you will run into call issues.
