NOTE:You need Sony SmartWatch2 device to use this software.
See Smartwatch2 FAQ and Troubleshooting page for your info:
http://programresource.net/en/2014/03/26/2452.html
Read / Write SMS message (160 character messaging service, sending via phone number). Customizable presets and software keyboard. Useful to quickly send SMS.
Supports Emoji in Japanese Phones. I'm unaware of how picture icons (emoticons) are handled , or special characters are input in other county; if there are detailed information about unicode and emoticons, or input method for your language with numpads, let me know.
Cyrillic input added in v1.7; I'm not a Cyrillic user, I don't know if this is correct. Any report would be helpful (working good/bad).
Notes and Restrictions:
-To ENTER SAME CHARACTER MORE THAN TWICE,, swipe down/up before entering again.
-Update SmartConnect (later than Dec.4th version) for best performance.
-Sending SMS in this app is independent from Mail app you use in Android device. Sent mail will only be saved in this extension.
-This is not a notification extension, will not notify for new mail arrival.
-There might be a case received SMS does not appear in this extension depending on your device.
-SMS will not automatically resend when send fails, please resend manually.
-Copy in menu will copy text to clipboard. May be useful when you are writing text/mail on android device, and want to copy text from older SMS.
-Internet access is used for Japanese Kana-Chinese character translation (uses Google service for this)
FAQ:
Q:Can you add T9 input support?
A:I can't add T9 support due to T9 input patented and licensed by Nuance Communications, and I'm only a individual making app as a hobby.
Please feel free to ask requests or report bugs. Since I only speak English / Japanese, I don't know how software keyboard works in different language. If anyone can provide me with detailed information on software keyboard for specific language, I would like to try to add support.
If SW2 is unstable after SW2 management app update, force stop then delete data might fix symptom.
It would be helpful if you write detailed description in comment (when assigning star) if app is not working or there's something you don't like. For example, "app shows progress bar but doesn't launch", "Icon not showing after install", "screen blacks out after selecting item", etc.
I am improving app to make them better, but since app runs different on different android devices (especially for those SmartWatch2 apps), I can't tell what is not working if comment simply says "doesn't work". I know it's an engineer's excuse, but it's working perfectly fine with my environment,

When trying to compose a text and search for a contact the app gets stuck on the premade responses and won't let you choose a contact to send to.

Works, kinda slow and have to jump thru hoops. It could be better. Would be awesome if it was t9 prediction but understand why they don't. Needs improvement to ui and stability. Would like to see if don't have to acknowledge u want to send message when u hit send.

Horrible layout. Completely unintuitive. Clunky. Hard to use. Ended up just doing the pre-sets which is actually easier on the free app. Waste of me money!

It needs a little work, but seems about the only app at the moment that allows u to to send sms via the watch. Sometimes freezes but worth the small price.

Main issue is a big one, I can't see how to send? UPDATE: back button, then options, then hit send, then confirm, bit long but works!! (Phone is a Sony Xperia, watch is Sony SmartWatch 2). Had lots of issues getting app to appear in my phone, had to restart the phone, then disable / enable app on watch.
