How To

[RickyChin]

Hi all,

A few 'How To' questions here....

1) How to add new apps or apps shortcut on the lock screen ?

2) How to get the 'Smart Connect' window to appear ?

I'm having a Z2 running on ver 4.4.2 with accessories like Smart Band SWR10, SBH50 and Smart Tags....anyone know any good apps for these ?

Also am interested in finding/getting auto wallpaper changer for the lock screen.

Thanks

Welcome to Android Forums, Ricky.

1) How to add new apps or apps shortcut on the lock screen ?

I've only been able to add widgets. On an empty screen tap the + and a widget list will open. Select the one you want and it will add itself to that screen.

2) How to get the 'Smart Connect' window to appear ?

It doesn't, unless you actually open the app itself from the drawer. Ordinarily Smart Connect runs in the background managing things unseen, only showing an optional notification when events start/end.

The essential app for the SmartBand is Lifelog, and I expect more apps to appear that leverage its functionality once devs get to grips with the SDK.

I have an SBH20 and modified the supplied "Music on the go" Smart Connect profile to use it.

Smart Tags I've yet to find a regular use for.
