thanks for your answer.
but unfortunately, tectiles wants to write the specified tasks onto the nfc-tag. and the tags included are read only.
also, air plane mode isn't available in this app.

thanks for the hint, but it's nearly the same as the preinstalled smart connect. doesn't have airplane-mode too.

Smart Tags app is no longer supported. Sony states that SmartConnect replaced SmartTags app.

Searching for automatic 2G/4G Toggle

Hi guys,
does anyone know an app that will automatically toggle to 2G while on wifi or display off in order to save battery?
I already tried tasker and cpu tuner but those do not work.
Thanks!
Just found a solution for myself

Security Issue with stamina mode with myxperia / android device manager

Hey guys
Have you noticed that using stamina mode both my xperia and android device manager are unable to function due to no net connectivity?
I highly believe this is a security flaw and as hence Sony must do something to fix this ASAP.
Why not just add then under the whitelist, my xperia would then function as designed to in the background
Yap,just tap on the stamina mode then select what apps that u want to activate in standby mode.

Hey guys... It doesnt seem to work, "cannot find your device" on stamina mode... and standby for 5+ minutes
Any other idaes?
It will probably never work. STAMINA mode does turn off Wifi and Mobile Data completely after finishing ongoing transmissions. It will also turn off GPS and Bluetooth when not needed. By adding an App to the Whitelist you will just allow it to run in the Background, it still won't be able to connect to the Internet though.
The problem is, that you can not turn off Mobile Data and GPS for a couple of Apps, it is a global setting.
But I don't think this is a bug, it's the way STAMINA mode works. If you don't like that you will probably have to shut it off.
EDIT: Alternatively you could try Qualcomms Battery Saver: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app
Enable Gps Satellites Notification
If you just need the location access (find device) in stamina mode, it works if you enable Gps Satellites Notification app (in all other tab) along with my Xperia.
Came to know while Experimenting with my Xperia Z2

Bluetooth Tethering Toggle

Hi guys,
I just develop (my first android dev) the free app "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" to be able to switch on/off the internet tethering bluetooth connection without to use the bluetooth settings each time. It works with the fOmey rom and others android platforms > 4.0.3, no root needed.
This application works only if tethering already works before and if the devices are paired.
Hope it will be usefull...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spac.BluetoothTetheringToggle
[Many thanks to fOmey for his great job and rom]
Very nice, thanks works well on nova launcher
Great job this is perfect, suggestion to integrate with Tasker so we can automate ?

You not need to install it on your phone, just on your gear (if you want to use internet with the gear over your phone by tethering.)
After install it on your Gear, add the widget on your gear and toggle it.

Sorry, I was thinking that your widget works for both devices, now I've understood! Anyway I've found another widget to toggle BT tethering from phone (without go into settings but directly from the homescreen)! Thanks a lot! (and sorry for my English...)

hi,
If you want to connect your Gear watch to internet over your phone, you must install the app on the watch gear only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your Gear.
it's the same when you go into the bluetooth settings of your Gear Watch (with the fOmey's ROM) and you select the tethering checkbox client.
(If you want to connect your tablet to internet over your phone, you must install the app on the tablet only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your tablet.
If you want to connect your phone A to internet over an other phone B, you must install the app on the first phone A only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your phone A.)
Just a suggest : can you hide the name under toggle? Because I don't use a classic grid (I use 5x3) and so I have to expand widget for see all the words... Maybe without name can be more nice and less intruder!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I ll do some tests and bring a solution. Not easy because the widget works on any android devices, not only Gear.. I don t find a sample to make a widget as a real icon with same title... (if someone knows, thank you for the help)
Thanks for developing this! So much easier to turn on tethering now!

Updated! Now seems perfect mate!!! Great work!
I´we noticed that when I have the bluetooth tether connected all the time, my Note 3 drains battery in high grade.
Your widget/app works fine to enable bt tether but I dislike the idea of doing it manually when I need internet connection.
So I have a Request:
Is it possible to add a setting that automatically enables bt tether after an set amount of time from that the screen is turned on?
Not straight away when it turns on since I don´t need internet access when I only turn on the Gear for a short time watching the clock for example.
And it ofcourse needs to turn the bt tether off again when the screen goes off.
Is this possible to do? Or does anyone have another idea of how doing this automatic?
Thanks for a great app btw!

This could be done with Tasker Intents, or with Tasker Secure Settings but only IF the app/widget allows the Intent to toggle the connection.
I tried but it seems the intent was not there in Secure Settings.
I will look at the manifest file and see if the Intent "allow toggling" can be called from Tasker Intent plugin

Yeah I thought so to, but it would be nice to have it included in the app.
A question about Tasker, I own the Direct Download-version of Tasker and use it on my Note 3, is it possible to use the same license on my Gear or am I forced to but another licence for every device?

Yes, I will see what I can do to include this option inside the app. and include a retry/auto too for disconnections..
(with tasker, I must try the app before to understand how it works; no information about: what I must add in the manifest file ?)

Weird auto disabling app issue

Keep having this problem...it just keep auto disabling random apps from time to time.....it's killing me. I enable it...than it got disable some time down the road.
From the attachment...u can see Snapseed and Google pay is being disabled
And Google clock alarm doesn't work despite repeated test....
Can someone advice
are you sure you have not turned on the Eco Mode ? it disables apps to save battery
Use app without installing, it is a feature from Google, not a bug. You choose on playstore to have that

I don't think this is the issue. Be happy to be proven wrong. I have the same issue. Trying to use Google Pay at the checkout when it's been disabled/reset is embarrassing
I am using realme x2. If i'm using any application even system application like settings, etc,.. It automatically comes to the home page. Please resolve this problem.

Can someone tell me how to make Here maps work on the Watch 3? I've downloaded and can see my location. What I can't seem to do is enter a destination location. Well, I can enter one, but nothing happens. Also, if I try to download a state map, I receive the error message saying I have no space, but I have 4 GB available on the watch.
Looks like Here needs an update for latest tizen/watch3
Not asking for the storage permision so can't download offline maps.
Am I the only one that can't see Here, either on the watch or the store?
Another fan of Here We Go maps!

So, it turns out that Australia doesn't get Here maps on the Watch3 by default
However, if you VPN your phone to the US, you can install it from there. Worked for me this morning. The app works fine once you turn the VPN off too.
Here we go pushed an update that made more faster and has offline capabilities.
