NC with CM7 - my first android device. I'm finding that a lot of the widgets I have tried don't seem to refresh. I was really looking forward to homescreen "mission control" with all kinds of info live updating. Things I have tried that don't refresh:
-Yahoo Sportacular - It is still showing some game from 3 weeks ago even after opening the app. Also, is there an option to make it show all scores, not just my favorites?
-HeavensAbove (satellite & space station tracking) - only refreshes if I open the app
-News - I forget the exact name of this builtin android widget, small black box is supposed to be showing news stories, but is a week behind
There are a couple more that I can't remember at the moment.
So, is this a general android issue, a problem with each widget, problem with the nook, ???
Also made sure the sync option in android is set.
I did a couple searches in the forums and couldn't come up with anything.
Thanks!

You using a task killer? If so, stop.
and you might try removing and re-adding the widgets.
No, no task killer. I haven't installed or used one.
I've had issues with widgets too: I tried to add multiple battery widgets, however, none of them would appear under the widgets category in the long-press add to home screen.

The gear with Null rom can do most those things anyway? Or am I missing something?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This could be useful for non-touchwiz phones, I suppose.
I may give it a go just to see what it can actually do.
--wait... "need internet connection on the watch" For serious?
A little confused myself. One part says Bluetooth supported and other part acts like both devices need Internet connection as in Gear tethered which drains much more battery on the gear.
I'm not interested in the actual "Notifications" as Gear Manager does this fine for me, otherwise, the other functions listed, GPS, battery status on other device, ect.. Yes, I would be interested but still confused as to my first comment/paragraph above as to how this works.
The internet connection "requirement" is for those smartwatches that do not have working BT, like every one of the Umeox x201 based smartwatches. The internet connection is also for doing things over long distances (think miles).
It does more than just notifications. I'm running Null and have been placing calls and sending texts using the Gear and leaving my Nexus One in my pocket, or the other room, the whole time.

Hrmmm, Interesting. I'll be having a look at this. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------
Ok have it installed on my S4. Problem. Can't get it on the Gear. In the Play Store it says not compatible with (gear) device so I can't use chrome extensions downloader either for some reason. And I'm tethered to the gear to access internet thru playstore directly and it's not listing on the gear to download???
Disregard, I got it downloading now with Chrome extensions, will transfer to gear and give it a whirl shortly.
Ok, I set everything up. Selected BT for connection on phone side's app. There is so setting for this on Gear Side's app. Entered devices names, ect... all it does is sit on phone side saying "Connecting". None of the features are doing anything.

this is for using without BT connection (for smartwatches that don't have bluetooth), it's not needed for direct bt connection.

you need to select BT on both the watch and the phone, then it will connect

On the Gear, the settings did not have a place to set a connection type unlike the phone's settings with the app. It started off with email. I even tried to scroll up and down and look all over for the settings for connection on the gear and it certainly wasn't there, at least for me.
i have uploaded the apk in download section as Gear might have difficulties getting it from playstore

Update: Blah, now when I either set bluetooth on Gear or Phone, I get a force close on each device.

Great !
Strange thing going on right now. On gear I pressed Battery Icon to get the info from phone and it says uptop that it's connected to my phone but nothing is happening after "message sent" dialogue. So I opened into the App on phone side and it's sitting up top saying "connecting...." forever.
Update: Went in on phone side and "Force Closed" the app in app settings. Reloaded it and it connected right up. Must be a quirk or something...
*SWApp Link dev update 0.934d*
*BT Virtual Leash*
You watch will help you not to loose or forget your phone !!
New feature will allow to get notified if the bluetooth link is broken.
User selected delay to trigger the alert.
Hi
This looks promising but i have a few issues and questions
First of all the App keeps Force closing on the watch (i'm running NUll_23)
but i have been able to connect it for a short while and can get SMS messages and the watch vibrates but the screen does not light up
What i wondered is that i want to replace the Samsung Notification system completely as i want to see more of the notification
on the screen than just a small excerpt, especially with Gmail and Email
do you think your app be able to do that down the line
thanks
*SWApp Link dev update 0.934e*
*Auto Lock*
In virtual leash feature, you can now enable "Auto Lock" feature which will set a password on your phone if the link is broken.
It's a low level action on the phone, so you'll be asked to enable Admin rights to the app.
You will be able to enable or not the broken virtual leash notification.
The app is simple ,:
- inicio.java: will only show a screen loading and do a check that you are connected or not the internet.
- carregando.java: will display a web page, using myWebClient;
- sem_conexao.java: will display a screen showing that is not connected and also a button to reload and make another check that you are connected or not the internet;
Everything ok ... But then This web page shows only news ... I wanted to make show the number of new notifications ... I thought of pulling of a page, the id of the last posted news, and this information would be saved in memory, whatever .. And it would be done a check every 3minutes eg ..
If, when pulling the url would be sent the latest id displayed .. And it would to do a check of the amount of new news, subtracting the values.
Does anyone have any idea how I could do that? I've been searching, but the most difficult being to make the app run in the background to keep doing this check.
Help me please !!
