Is there a way to run Smartwatch 3 on Windows 8.1 ? - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hello!
I just bought one of these Smartwatch 3 but I do not own an Android phone. I was wondering if there was a way to run the smartwatch app on Windows 8.1 and if anyone here has ever tried it? Is it even possible to use the watch without the app?
Thanks for your help!

You could try Bluestacks or a similar Android emulator. Another potential option would be to dual boot Remix OS.

Thanks a lot for your answer drakonizer! Yes, I was thinking about Bluestacks or AmiDuOs but I was wondering if the Bluetooth connectivity would work the same with a PC as with a phone....
Dual OS boot sounds like a good idea as well
I'll try and let you know

Any updates on this topic?

yes it does. running right now
Its a bit fiddly to setup and you need a PC connection via Activesync
Also, might want to try microsoft portrait http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
some have reported problems though with WM6 based ROMS

Thanks. That software looks good. One thing - the camera appears sideways - is there some way to make the image appear the same way up and the camera?

Okay, so this is the problem now. I finally found the program and installed it. Now i Can't seem to connect online via USB. Is there a problem with the program? I uninstalled the program and still can't connect online via USB. Any leads? I was able to connect only just before installing the program.

I can't reproduce your problem. My device networks fine via USB after using the webcam software.
I have activesync installed, but don't have it set up with a partnership for my device (using oggsync instead). Does your activesync sync with your device?
Anything unusual in your network connections settings?
Have you tried a system restore to an earlier point?
HTH.
i had purchased the software and e mailed the company for unlock code.
Given my device id to them but the cab doesnt work.
i had changed my rom with black 2.0 and my radio is 1.4
any idea what could be wrong?

Do you mean that you changed the rom after emailing your device ID? If so, it could well be that your device ID has changed - have a look in your system info screen (as directed by ateksoft) to see if it matches what you sent them.
I had similar issue after changing roms - they sent me a new code.

The smaller the resolution that faster you will get... but by fast ... i mean 7 fps ... LOL
The framerate depends on the resolution and quality settings you are running at, if you turn the quality and resolution down you can get a good frame rate.
I run the resoultion at 640 x 480 and quality 70/E and the frame rate is fine.

Hi. Can you tell how you did it? Booted from a USB pendrive or from MicroSD?
Does the stylus digitizer with pressure sensitivity work?

I found this on the Goog last night after seeing this thread.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/D67FhZpMAvQ
I haven't gotten any further than wiping the Vivo as of yet, but I'm hopeful. Some say the stylus works. We'll see I guess. Also, the post is from March so I assume this is for Remix 2 but I'm going to be bold and try it with Remix 3. Let me know how your attempts go.
3.0 wouldn't even begin to install for me but I was trying to install onto a SD card. I WAS able to load 2.0 onto the SD card but it wouldn't boot. I finally installed 2.0 onto the internal storage and it booted right up. So far WIFI worked and I just jumped back into Windows to finish off the fixes outlined on the google page. It looked pretty and ran smoothly for the limited amount of time I had it running so far.

Chuwi vi10 plus (remix OS) freezing

Hello,
3 days ago I received CHUWI vi10 plus tablet with REMIX 2.0. OS. The problem is that the system is freezing like every 5-10 if I´m doing anything (its necessary to reset it with long pressing the power button). In developer options I changed GPU rendering to enable and it seems that it a helped a bit but freezes still persists.. Does somebody here have similar experience or some tip to repair it? I have noticed that Chris in his review mentioned a similar problem… but according to his words it dissapeared. Its extremely annoying.
Factory reset is not helping.
I have the same problem. Trying to get in touch with someone from Jide or Chuwi but not having much luck. think I have a $180 paperweight.
Any chance both of you have microSD card inserted in? If yes, remove the card and see if this helps with alleviating the freezing problem (I know it sounds weird).

Hi,
A guy from the Chuwi Forum found out that enabling GFX in the Bios solves the freezing issue. This works well for me, too.

Hi! Did you figure out how to connect a keyboard to boot into BIOS?
You can connect a USB keyboard via an OTG adapter. I have the keyboard cover so there was no need to attach an external one.

Got mine yesterday. Wondering if there's a way to root it and flash Viper. After just 1 day of use I didn't face any freeze yet. But I did a F.R before starting to use it.

I did this and I'm still getting freezing. Really annoying.
I got the same issues as well. Freezing
This freezing issue is really really irritating. Tried enabling gfx but doesn't help either. Even when installing an app from the play store. Hope guys at Chuwi are conscious about this because this tablet got a real potential.
I am having the same issues, even with the suggestion in this thread. Yellowflash is correct, has real potential. But if it is freezing non stop its really a huge waste of time and money...

Do you use a Micro SD card? If yes, I suggest that you try to remove it, just in case...

Thanks Tony, that is something I did try as well. It seems to be crashing/freezing the same with our without a Micro SD card present.
Chuwi need to address at least patches to fix these freezing asap. Because imo Remix only should be a pleasant experience on this tablet and not horrible!
This tablet is and will be the last Chinese tablet I'll ever buy.
Try this:
Settings --> Experimental Features--> Enable Launcher file mode.
This was the fix for me. On the down side you'll get kind of a Windows Desktop.
Hi guys I just found out that there's CM13 build for a bunch of Chuwi tablet including the vi10 plus

Battery status of Bluetooth device

Hi guys,
I would like to know if there's a possibility to display the battery status of a connected Bluetooth device on the Oneplus 3? Natively or via a third party app? Ideally for me, it should work on the stock ROM but if necessary I would flash a custom one if it would only be possible that way.
Thanks in advance :good:

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work with my specific pair of headphones :/ If that means that they don't send battery information to the phone I probably can't get it to work with any solution.

Sorry to hear that.
FWIW after suggesting the app to you, I did try it out. It seemed to work with my pair of blue tooth headphones during the limited time I used it..
Going by the comments about the app in the play store, it looks like the usage is limited based on the manufacturer of the blue tooth device....
Just to close this topic: This feature was released in Open Beta 19 and for me it works great!
how to enable that??? by default its not showing when connected......... im on latest beta

How do you activate it? I have a watch connected and it's not showing anything
I didn't have to activate it. For me it just worked. Your Bluetooth device still has to support sending its battery information to the phone. In this months Open Beta update there were some fixes for this feature. Maybe it works for you now?
