Hi, I need connect camera on my phone with stratos, I don't need to see on my watch, only button on my watch, for pictures or recorder video. I need something App?
Yes, so far this is only possible with WatchDroid: you have to install an app on phone and another one on watch. It has a "take pic" button on watch app.
I can not believe that there is no easier way than that, I am very disappointed from the watch.
Disappointed about a sportswatch that's doesn't work with your phone to take pictures natively (there are 3rd party options for this)? Then probably you got the wrong product indeed...
obviously and I have made a wrong purchase, but I do not think I want anything too much since, Sony has before five years the choice to control the camera through a Bluetooth headset,and this watch don't do it.

Hi all,
I'm gonna do my utmost not to rant about this, but I'll set the scene a little. I moved back to the Android platform from my (pre-SIRI) iPhone 4 back in September. On my iPhone I was able to leave for work in the morning (hands full and running late, obviously), get in my car and switch on my bluetooth visor mount which would automatically paid with my phone. I could then press for voice command, say "play music" and I had tunes on my way to work without rooting in my pocket for my phone. Simples!
Unfortunately it's not been so simple to manage on my SGS3 - S Voice worked some of the time and it would sometimes pair with my bluetooth and sometimes need a reboot before it would play ball (not the sort of thing you should attempt whilst driving). I chalked this up to OS instability and flashed to CM.
Much happier with the functionality CM gives but I've taken a step backwards with regards to voice commands: Google Voice Search does what I want but then needs an on-screen touch confirmation, Speaktoit can't manage more than a single-track stab in the dark, nor can Skyvi and Vlingo looks at me with disgust and says "oh, we don't do music here...". Utter also can't manage more than one track unfortunately, though it's a valiant effort from the developer. There's Car Tunes Music Player, but it doesn't have functionality built in to respond to bluetooth press commands (ie doesn't appear in the 'open with' menu when bluetooth is pressed).
So, when you're wistfully looking at your 3 year old phone and wishing you could throw the new £500 one out of the window, it's time to ask for help:
Bottom line: Is there some app, setting, macro, NFC jiggery pokery or voodoo that will somehow just let me sit in my car with my phone in my pocket and tell it to play some music without having to handle it whilst I drive?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I'm now completely at a loss and giving serious consideration to going back to the dark side!
Have you tried either Bluetooth Launch or Bluetooth App. Launcher? I haven't tried either of them, but they look like they might suit you. Tasker could do it for sure, but it's a little more advanced (basically, you'd need to make your own "script" with it).
I've been looking for days on end, but I can't seem to find an app that fixes the delay in bluetooth speakers. For example, it would fix the delay for netflix so the sound matches the video.
I think that this delay is all software based, because Chrome and YouTube don't have delay, but most other apps do.
I was thinking, if this hasn't been created yet, which I don't know why because so many people complain about delayed bluetooth speakers, that it can't be that hard to create.
Like for example, just make it so you open the app, and it puts a sort of slider in the notification bar for you to adjust whatever is on the screen to sync with the video.
or maybe have the app open other apps from inside it and work like that? I have very little experience in coding,
So if anyone could explain to me why an app that syncs the screen with the audio doesn't exist, please tell me!
little more details, I'm using the speaker on my new Nexus 7 2013, and I also have a Nexus 4.
the speaker is a Jawbone Jambox. I bought so I could watch Netflix without headphones, but that's the only app the speaker isn't in sync, apart from.. every single game application.
thanks for any replies!
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.
Has anyone found Android software that would allow same type of call taking feature on the watch using it's mic and speaker as Apple Watch demonstrate? I have tried Unova+ factory software with Android phone software side, Swapp Link and none of them have a function where you can fully answer calls on your watch without taking phone out of your pocket and no BT headset connected to the phone.
I think RetroRom has this feature.

Anyone else with known software that allow to take a call on your wrist using smart watch speaker and mic? I have searched to no end and so far no go to use watch paired with your phone with ability to do what apple watch has. Sure there is software that let you answer but you still need to use your phone to talk or paired BT headset connected to your phone - watch can't do the job.
Please provide guidance if you know more about this critical functional add-on to make a full use of watch with the phone
Thanks
Sorry, it's called RetroSmart Rom. It has this feature.
Hello everyone,
I'm going to buy Verge but I have some doubts. I hope you will help me:
1. I know that in lite version You can't control music during active training. But what about "not lite" Verge version? Am I able swtich between training and music control? Or at first turn on music (mp3 on watch itself) and then start training?
2. Am I able to control Spotify app on smartphone?
Best regards,
Lukasz
1. Only if you use AV2P Bluetooth headphones, as latest Chinese firmware for Verge, there is no music control during activities like the one available for Pace/Stratos;
2. Yes, if you enable Music control in Amazfit Watch app and you keep the phone with you and connected to the watch, of course. But, again, you cannot control music this way during sports activities.
Verge isn't the best option for sports:
1. Battery life is shorter if compared to Pace/Stratos mainly due to AMOLED display, what also makes it harder to read outdoors during the day unless you use maximum brightness;
2. It is all plastic and IP68 (although I doubt it due to the openings for both mic and speaker);
3. Custom straps are hard to find because it does not use an standard format, although they have the quick-release mechanism.
Thx for reply.
Yes but I can play music before trening start, and this is OK for me (I got Verge since friday). I made 2 trainings and for now only drawback is brightness, it could be better. But I run at evening mostly.
I found some offers for straps on Ali, and I am wating for delivery.
Generaly I am realy happy. Verge is not perfect but if You consider price/value ratio it is best choise im my opinion.
What the heck, Huami? And I thought I was doing something wrong or overlooking something. Why would you not make music controllable on the Verge during an activity when it is possible on Stratos / Pace?? That's frustrating.
I got weird interrupts when playing music over BT while running with GPS on and using Polar BT HR band. Every 20 to 60 seconds the music has little pauses. This happens with MPow DS6 headphones. Has anyone else this?
