Download presets when connecting to an Iphone
If you are connecting to an Iphone and don't have access to the Android phone companion app, you can still download user presets directly to the watch, by entering a direct download link to the preset.
The links
How to download:
Using calendar sync to automatically get the download link without having to type it.
As a temporary measure I have added a feature so you can use the calendar sync to automatically get the download link:
The links
- The links have to be direct download links, meaning they should link directly to the preset files and not a web page with a download link.
- The exception is Google Drive or Dropbox shared links. UW2 will automatically convert these links to direct download links (as by default they point to a Web page).
- Also the links can not require any authentication such as log in to access them.
How to download:
- You enter the link to download in the text entry field in the Download menu in the watchface configuration menu.
- Currently Android Wear does not support copy and paste of text from other sources so you are basically down to using the built-in keyboard at the moment (I hope that soon Wear will support copy/paste or clicking links in notifications which will make it a lot easier).
- Press the Download button.
- The download progress will be displayed in the notifications area.
- Once the download is complete, just tap on the notification and the preset will be imported.
Using calendar sync to automatically get the download link without having to type it.
As a temporary measure I have added a feature so you can use the calendar sync to automatically get the download link:
- Add a new calendar event for today in a calendar that is synced to your watch (from your phone/computer/web).
- Copy and paste the download link as the title of the calendar entry.
- Tick the "full day" option to make it a whole day event, and save the event.
- Wait for the calendar event to get synced to your watch (should max be a couple of minutes).
- Open the Download menu in the UW2 watch face configuration menu. The link should now automatically be inserted, so all you have to do is press download (there might be a short delay before the link has been read from the built-in calendar).
- Now you can delete the calendar entry if you don't want it.
- Please note that you need to have enabled the calendar permission for Ultimate Watch 2 on the watch for this to work.
