I have a galaxy s5 and only works when the phone app is open and phone not locked
Works on my HTC droid DNA without unlocking. Don't know why it needs network access though so one point off for that.
Doesn't work unless the phone screen is on and unlocked and the companion app is active. Totally defeats the purpose if I have to turn on my phone and launch an app to turn on the light. I might as well just hit the light toggle on my luck screen, as it takes 2 fewer steps to perform than this.
Doesn't work when phone is locked. It works then quickly turns off. No apps that could be killing it. Would be fantastic if it worked while locked.
Only works when app is open.. Useless if phone is locked..
Maybe its not 2.0 comp but I couldn't find the watch app.
One has to keep the app open when using the on/off switch from the pebble. And when the phone is locked, it doesn't open at all. I'll come back when this one is fixed. Have to go with "flash" instead, though that one's buggy as well, but it works better than this one.
I have a rooted T-Mobile nexus 6 on 5.1.1. The app and the watch app do not turn my flashlight on.
It is behaving strangely. It only works when the app is open and the phone is unlocked. Now is also the auto-flash enabled though the box is not checked.
