Anyone still owns/use one? such a great device but pity they killed it for the sake of their own pockets.
it would be nice if someone still develops for this device as its still lacking in comparison to other more mature products
afaik it is still an android based device like the motoactv so it would be great to have similar development on it

Still have mine, and have purchased several smart watches during that time -have to say the WIMM is my favorite ... waiting for my Kickstarter Pebble shortly and I don't know if I am going to give up the WIMM even then. There is a developer forum out there that carries on with alpha and beta apps for the WIMM, although I do not know how often people submit.

Do you happen to know the name of this developer forum? Or are you referring to WIMM's official developer forum?
Still have mine, have been wearing it and using it daily for over a year and love it. However, I am considering selling it as I have started training as a private pilot and could do with a no-nonsense analogue chronometer. Certain key features in particular I will really, really miss - the ability to sync with both my personal Google calendar and my work Exchange calendar are truly priceless. Open to offers if anyone wants to buy my Wimm - one of the very few in the UK (I DHL'd it from the US and like a good boy paid all import taxes and duties - I really don't want to think about how much it set me back...) but will consider posting abroad.
Cheers,
Tim

I'd like to bump for this.
well apparently it has been reviewed who bought wimm and went into an exclusive deal, it was google
i wonder if there is any new firmware releases that would complete the device / add new features whether its from google or 3rd party independent devs
Oh, at last WIMM One appeared on the stage of smart watch forum in XDA...
See also this was afaik the main thread for WIMM One :crying:

Just bought a Wimm One on Ebay. However, I'm afraid to do a reset because I'm not sure if it absolutely needs to connect with the old Wimm server to set itself up and I don't know that the server is still up and running. I don't want to get it into a loop that I can't get out of so I'm just using it as a watch with some pretty cool watch faces. Does anyone know if the Wimm server is still running and accepting new user accounts? I'd still love to find a current forum with people still playing around with the Wimm.

As far as I know, the server is still running, but they haven't been accepting new accounts for over a year. The person that sold you the watch would need to give you their login credentials; once you have them, you can change everything over into your name, and also change the username. That's what I did for the user that bought mine.
Thanks Uncle Louie, that's what I thought. I asked the seller before I bid if he had set up a Wimm account and he said no. I took a chance and bought it anyway. I saw another thread somewhere on here where someone had the same problem and was looking for an ex-Wimm user to get their account information. Do you happen to know if doing a reset will put the watch in a loop or if I can just revert to using the built in apps?
Wimm One user account
Any old Wimm One users out there who wouldn't mind passing their Wimm user account on to me? I have a Wimm that has never been activated and the Wimm server no longer accepts new accounts. If your watch is long gone your account isn't doing you any good and it would be much appreciated by this new Wimm owner.
hmm my wimm stopped syncing for quite a while now, i'm wondering if their servers are still up or did they just abandoned us who have supported their devices?
ever since they were bought by google we were left in the dark. is there any 3rd party forum or dev or support dedicated to this device?
i really dont want to throw it in the bin especially since so far no other smartwatch got the screen right
@akromatic. I finally got an account for my Wimm and it's still synching fine as of this morning.

cool, good to know that servers are not completely dead, no idea how long does this status quo would remain when they finally axe all support.
my wimm stopped syncing quite a while back and still couldnt get it to sync. website still says it as linked by the watch itself says unlinked and it seemed all the official support channels got axed aka the forums

I bought mine a few weeks back, synced right up, got myself an account, downloaded every app, dug up the dev files on various servers and even have both companion apps. You can still use vshare to install it on a jailbroken i-phone but it won't be int he store. It's still in the android app store though. The neat thing about this unit is the dev ability built in. So presumably it won't be an issue to flash either a custom build or an Android wearables build. At least that's my hope. It's really more of a novelty to me right now
Try going in to your wimm account and delinking the watch. Then fire up the companion app, login and relink it.
Stopped syncing July 8
My Wimmone stopped syncing on July 8, 2014. Happens to be just about 2 years after acquired by Google. I checked, it till finds my Wifi, so got to be the site. Went to their site and it won’t allow me to sign in. Anyone else now having trouble, still syncing, etc.
Thanks,
Clark
I'm having the same problem, won't sync anymore. Interestingly, my news feeds are still updating.

But better be updated than outdated ... Installed
I never used it until about a month ago and I gotta say it's great now. I won't use anything else ever again.

Yes, it's getting really great in the last few month, for me the first choice.

Repost of my google+ post "+BenRoberts83/posts/6vn3vFEdtAK"
I've been looking at the Hangouts APK. You can almost definitely expect to see some new features announced at I/O.
From what I can tell hangouts it getting a major update. This latest apk (2.1.311) has quite a bit of new code. Just from an cursory look, I think we can expect to see...
1. Google Voice integration.
No surprise here. Google Voice's integration was only on hold because of some security issue and they had to force developers to use a new API for accessing GVoice. The last day to transition off the old system was almost a month ago. And the amount of references to "Voicemail" in the code, shot up substantially.
2. Google Wallet integration
The amount of code with wallet mentioned in it seems to have shot up. I'm hoping this may actually be a feature to pay a person through hangouts. That would be pretty neat.
3. Remote support
It looks like google may be taking a page from Amazon's playbook and adding a remote control and support feature. I'm guessing this will likely be "helpouts" being rolled in to a remote user being able to show you how to do things on your device. This is purely speculation now.
4.The rest.
I'll leave these up to you to take what you will from them. Here is a list of new folders that seem to have been added. (along side folders like plus, maps, games, etc)
analytics
cast
drive
feedback
gcm (looks to just be some networking callbacks)
identity
playlog
tagmanager
wearable
Carl Pei has officially sent out a tweet in favour of those wanting the face unlock feature on their OnePlus 3 or OnePlus 3T.
Go check out his tweet and comment on it if you're one of those who wanted the feature:
https://twitter.com/getpeid/status/946428911688323072
In addition to this, make sure you share the tweet on social media and tell your friends with OnePlus devices about it.

You already have face unlock in the Google/Smart Unlock settings.
If you want to bypass the swipe UP and load straight to the home screen, you can do that with "AutoInput" from the PlayStore.
I've tried and it's functions just like the 5T.

I've tried it too, but frankly, IMHO Google Smart lock is utter crap. Heck it unlocks my phone when I cover half of my face with my hands. OnePlus' face unlock is slightly more reliable, but that's not that secure either. I won't ever use the feature. I created this thread for people who've been constantly asking for the feature
I don't believe OnePlus have released their source code, but there's plenty of suggestions that they are one and the same thing with the exception of OnePlus jumping to the home screen on recognition.
I was able to fool the 5T just as I could Google's smart face so I'm not entirely convinced that OnePlus have really done anything new. Both methods are really quick to recognize, in my experience (Not even sure that's a good thing...).
Don't get me wrong, new features would be great but I kinda feel this is an attempt to generate hype again by OnePlus.
I had emailed to xiaomi global services and requested them to enable camera2 api feature by default in future updates, the email and their answer are in the attached pics and below:
Email:
Hello
I'm using mi a2 and suffering lack of camera2 api feature. I don't want to unlock and flash my phone due to bricking risk. So please enable camera2 api on Mi A2 by default, or at least inform us to wait fo feature or not.
Another thing is mi a2 secondary rear camera. It has PDAF and can do a better and smoother auto focus than main camera while video recording. (Main camera beating on auto focus). If that is possible please enable video recording by secondary rear camera on default camera app and other apps as photo shooting is enabled in camera app manual mode.
Xiaomi answer:
Dear Customer,
Greetings from Xiaomi Escalation Desk.
This is to inform you that Mi A2 uses native Google system, none of these default Settings have been changed,
and it is not recommended to change them manually, which may cause some system exception.
Thank you for being a valued customer.
Thanks & Regards,
Saif Ulla
Xiaomi Escalation Desk
Is seems they have no plan to enable it
Ah, I actually ripped my ass off on that,I sent them emails about Camera2 API, Created a bug report in Google AOSP website, even started a Twitter campaign and replied to every single tweet from Xiaomi with #ARCore_For_Mi_A2 and also #Camera2_API_For_Mi_A2. In emails they said they look into my suggestion which is basically the thing that companies do when people are asking them for an issue and they just want to get rid of it, And I went through a lot of pain being on Twitter doing that campaign because I was bored due to the massive amount of curses people were just saying to me and you know at the end Xiaomi actually blocked me from replying to their tweets so I pulled myself out of that game. According to papers Google forces OEMs on Enabling Camera2 API on devices shipped with Android pie and higher, Xiaomi wants to keep the amount of features in it's A series at minimum. Doesn't matter if it's just a simple API or ARCore or NFC, Xiaomi doesn't care about It's A series and tries to offer nothing more than what it's obligated to do from Google as an Android One OEM.
Xiaomeme is a good Hardware Company with bad Software, exactly opposite of Google.
Basically Xiaomeme's strategy is updating Android version and adding no features to it's Android One devices and Adding features and not updating the Android version on it's MIUI devices.

What is the ARcore for? And why is it important on this device?

For example you can stand next to a growling Hulk in a movie you shoot, or play games where space ships fly through your living room.

Well I did use ARCore on MI A2 so it runs. (In case you are wondering, there is a way to enable ARCore if you have Magisk but discussing it here will be going OT)
I've looking around to see if this device is Android Enterprise Recommended but I can't seem to find any documentation.
Do you know what's the case?
It's not listed on Google's site yet, so they're likely not.

Thanks for the reply! In the overall devices list (not filtering for AER), the One Plus 8 series was still not listed (as of right now), so that's why I had some hope.
I won't be able to buy this phone then, I was really excited about it; seems a bit odd that at the price point they don't support AER or KNOX.
I've had contact with a reseller for my company, he has asked OP about this, and got the response that op was/is working on it. So hopefully soon...
The phone is manageable but lacks zero touch right now.
