Ορθόδοξο Ημερολόγιο για Sony SmartWatch

At last, the Orthodox Calendar for Sony SmartWatch is available in Greek language.

It contains the full calendar of saints and the icons, as used in the full app version for Android. This goes for SmartWatch 2 devices only.

SmartWatch 1 users would not see any icons, nor full calendar of saints, only the feast / main saint of the day.

The app supports both the old (Julian) and the new (Gregorian) calendar, there is a checkbox in the app settings.

The app in it’s version 2 contains the full calendar of saints and the icons, as used in the full app version for Android. This goes for SmartWatch 2 devices only.

Orthodox Calendar for the SmartWatch 2

I’ve completely reworked the Orthodox Calendar for the Sony SmartWatch. Now it takes full advantage of the larger display, and the new features – such as long lists, thus:
* Icons are displayed for the feasts and some of the saints
* Full calendar of saints is included for every day, just scroll down to see the full list of names.

More languages for the SMS Composer app!

Two important updates have been made to the SMS Composer app in it’s latest version 5.8; the first is the addition of new languages with spelling suggestions support. Those are:

  • Portuguese
  • Greek
  • Serbian
  • Croatian
  • Slovenian

That makes the number of available spelling suggestion languages amount to ten.

The other novelty is the option to turn off the spelling suggestions generally, in the app’s settings. And that is useful in case the app performs slowly on your device. Just turn of the spelling suggestions and you get a huge performance boost.

Sony SmartWatch and BlackBerry 10

Not so long ago, I got an amazing Z10 from Marmalade (thanks to them once again), and it’s such nice hardware and OS, I’m using it as my main device ever since. One of the things I missed, however, was my SmartWatch, which works only with Android devices.

However, not much was needed for it to be able to work with BlackBerry 10’s Android player, main thing was Bluetooth. Thus, I was really excited when I heard the announcement that the next version of BB10 would include Bluetooth support. And when I found a leaked version of that OS, it only took some repackaging and simple tweaks to get the SmartWatch connected to the phone.

Here’s a video demo, which uses some of my apps: the Dialer, SMS Composer and Sound Meter.

Not everything works, as there are still some BlackBerry limitations on its Android player, but if Sony and BlackBerry fancy this combination, all that can be overcame very easily.

Spelling suggestions for all

Glad to announce that spelling suggestions for the SMS Composer app are available for all phone models, since v.5.0 of the app. At the moment, the spelling suggestions are available only for the English language, but more languages are on their way!

The SMS Composer has also been updated to work faster and better on the new SmartWatch2.

The Sound Meter for Sony’s Smart Accessories

Here’s my latest app for Sony’s Smart Accessories, the Sound Meter.

It works with these products:

  1. SmartWatch2
  2. SmartWatch
  3. Wireless Headset Pro

Sony have announced a few more Wireless Headsets which are said to support Android – if so, they should also be running my apps without problems.

So, the Sound Meter uses your phone’s microphone to determine how loud your environment is. It’s possible that the measured values would not be the same as those of a professional equipment for sound measurement, but what the app offers is still very handy.
