Not able to pair

I'm running a Samsung Gear Live with version 5.0.2. I own a iPhone 6 + and Samsung Galaxy S5. I installed the 0.2.1 of his APK onto the watch. When I try to pair with LightBlue the iPhone asks for a Code, which is never displayed on the watch. After short time, the watch tells me to cycle airplane mode. Nothing else happens!

Please help me!!!
[Wear OS General] svdemon:
what helped me with the two watches I'm currently testing out (the moto 360 and Zen Watch) was to go to the bluetooth settings on the phone and sync it to the blank device. so when you go into lightblue it'll say success then all you have to do is hit the crown on the watch or power button and your set. never swipe after the success notification otherwise it won't send anything from the 6+
[Wear OS General] Nickibum98:
What do you mean by " go to the bluetooth settings on the phone and sync it to the blank device" ?
[Wear OS General] svdemon:
if you set up the lightblue app like in the instructions on the plus theres a profile called blank you need to have activated. create the profile then go to your bluetooth settings on the watch search for the device called blank and there you'll get the code to pair

[Wear OS General] davpel:
I'm having a bit of an issue converted a Watchmaker face for use on iOS. I can create the file fine but don't have the ability to sign the .apk. Would anyone be willing to help me out? Perhaps we could create a repository on dropbox of signed apks for us to adb over? I'd certainly be willing to donate to anyone who could take on this task.
[Wear OS General] steve_bk:
Aerlink not working 2.0-b4 update no longer pairing my moto 360 to my iphone 6. I keep getting asked for a pairing code over and over and i never get a successful pair. All worked up until the new released aerlink update on Android Wear.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I tried one more time and was able to connect it. If i left it at the code screen on the watch after i entered the code it connected finally. In the old app i had to hit the X to get the phone and watch to pair.

Sorry.
[Wear OS General] 5pace:
I'm sorry for being ignorant but I cannot seem to find anywhere where it says what are the benefits of connecting my LG Urbane (Android Wear Watch) via Aerlink instead of official Android Wear app on iOS, what are the pros and cons could anyone point them out? I would really appreciate it!
[Wear OS General] deividmb:
I have the same question! What is the diference ? Thanks 4 all

[Wear OS General] steve_bk:
iOS + Andoird Wear

•	Loose WiFi and Bluetooth settings, you can no longer access these, no WiFi period.

•	Cannot load any play store apks without side loading, this is not possible with Moto 360 as it does not have a usb cable interface. This means no custom watch faces outside what comes in the Android Wear app.

•	You get Shared Internet between the phone and watch (Temperature will update, Google now cards)

•	Only can be paired to iPhone cannot pair back to an Android device without resetting the watch.

•	All alerting from the iPhone although sometimes 5-10 second lag.

Aerlink

•	Keep WiFi and Bluetooth settings

•	Load any play store apks you want, Custom watch faces, WatchMaker, Facer

•	Pair to both iOS and Android at the same time

•	All Alerting from the iPhone no lag
[Wear OS General] davpel:
I would generally agree with your explanation. However, in my experience with both the Moto 360 and the Huwaei watch, I would add:

Aerlink

•	More frequent disconnections; requires manual reconnect

•	Worse battery life

I wish this wasn't the case, especially the battery life. When using Wear with the H watch and iPhone 6S Plus, I can go about 35 hours on a charge. With Aerlink (I pair using Lightblue rather than BLE Utility because I find the former more stable), my battery lasts about 10 hours max.
[Wear OS General] steve_bk:
I use the Aerlink app and don't encounter and disconnects unless I walk away from the phone. Just an FYI I used to use both the BLE and Light Blue apps and had the same disconnects issue but since moving to the Aerlink app itself, no Disconnects.
[Wear OS General] firehawk:
After having Android Wear for the last month, I've updated my last assessment. The time sync is a huge plus. If I reboot my watch, I don't need to have my Android phone around to do a time sync. Also I've NEVER lost a notify using Android Wear and with no lag so far. Aerlink was 95% reliable, but not 100%. Disclaimer: I'm using a GWR, so YMMV
[Wear OS General] firehawk:
It would be nice to have a bunch of watch-only APKs ready to be sideloaded. Dunno if we can include re-signed watchmaker in the list though since it's technically modifying someone else's program. It would hard to maintain though, with version updates and compatibility between round and square watches. Maybe if we keep it small with less than 20 APKs it would be manageable
[Wear OS General] Matchstic:
Saying that... I am actually working on trying to sync APKs across to the watch via the iOS Wear app. It currently will scan a given directory for them on device, and then allow selection from there.

So far, I've been able to generate all the necessary metadata on-device needed to create the appropriate objects in Google's code. With any luck, I'll be able to test this weekend with syncing something across.

If it actually works, I'm planning to see if I can code in "repository" support, wherein APKs can be downloaded from third-party servers.

Please be aware that this is mainly just an experiment my end to see if it's even possible to achieve how I'm thinking of doing it. Additionally, this will be jailbreak only.
[Wear OS General] davpel:
Sounds really interesting. Please keep us informed!
[Wear OS General] davpel:
I wondered about the developer thing would be an issue. Since they are generally making the Watchmaker/Facer faces for free, I had hoped it wouldn't cause any problems. I would just do it myself, but the resigning part is a sticking point for me because it requires javascript which, for security reasons, I am not allowed to install on this machine.

If anyone could help me with one particular face, I would be greatly indebted. This Shinola face is really the only custom face I used when I was on Android and I sorely miss it. I will happily send a donation to whomever make me a working .apk of this.
[Wear OS General] Matchstic:
I've made significant progress with transferring across APKs to the watch via Google's iOS app this weekend.

Right now, it stands as:

- APKs can be transferred to the app via iTunes

- The original view for installing new watch faces is now replaced with a listing of APKs on the device.

- Transfer of APKs works

- Installation on the watch end fails

If anyone is willing, since I don't have access to adb when testing with my watch (it's a Moto 360), I'll be needing someone to help provide a logcat from the watch at the point of installation. If you're interested in helping, please ensure you already know how to get such a log over adb, or can figure it out via Google. Additionally, your iDevice must be jailbroken. Cheers!
[Wear OS General] davpel:
I would love to help, but I only have a jailbroken iPad (running 8.4). My iPhone 6S Plus is not jailbroken and, in fact, I was not aware that there is even any iOS 9 jailbreak in the wild.

If you think it would be of a great help, I would be willing to factory reset my watch and temporarily sync it to the iPad so that you could get a log file. However, if the hack that you are working on will always require a jailbroken iDevice, I'm not sure it's worth it.

Let me know.
[Wear OS General] firehawk:
I took a quick look and it seems that the face has some scripts with it (hand movement, color changing). If you could wipe the scripts using Watchmaker, make sure the face still works, and export the .watch file again, that would help.

It would help even more if you could inject the contents of that edited .watch file into a Watchmaker (non-pro) Watch APK file.

Then I could sign it for you easily, since it's just a drag and drop. But the earliest I can work on this is Tuesday (if you can't get the first two things done)
[Wear OS General] davpel:
Thanks so much for your offer. I'll grab the stuff you need over the weekend and shoot them to you.

To those who have expressed interest in helping with the iOS to watch APK transferring, sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I've had some major personal issues to contend with, but should be able to reach out soon. Cheers

sorry to hear that. Hope that everything goes well and you could be in peace again.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Hi there! Hope you are doing okay.

Did you by any chance have any progress with your method of installing APKs to android wear via iOS? Can you share some details?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hope i am not annoying you.
[Wear OS General] samXda77:
I've tried dozens of times your steps. If I try to install the original watchmaker apk file, it works. When I try to replace the folders / files and after having signed the file, I have the following error : INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK. Any idea why ?
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Do you have the watch connected to an iPhone via the official Android Wear app?
[Wear OS General] samXda77:
Yes, I do.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Can you please post a link to the steps you are following? Is there a guide somewhere?

factory reset

Hello all,

Hope someone can help me; I purchased LG G Watch R which came with a older firmware, found a old android phone, then I have upgraded my firmware to be able to use Android Wear for iOS, all good and working. My problem is, when I do a factory reset on the watch, it goes to the older firmware, is there a way to avoid this and don't let factory reset result in a older firmware, I don't want to be depending on the android wear app just to update my firmware. Thanks in advance.
[Wear OS General] samXda77:
I'm using the LG Urbane..
[Wear OS General] dre10g:
I had that error as well.. because I had rename one of the files inside the apk. Make sure you don't rename anything.
[Wear OS General] samXda77:
The only files I rename are the ones I take from watchmaker.android_wear_micro_apk.apk (w3.jpg & w3.xml). I follow exactly all the steps given by firehawk (even if I didn't understand his step "-Unfortunately none of the scripts load. I don't know why."). On the other hands, I don't know how to manage if the watch I want to transfer contains other files than the preview and the xml (e.g. scripts).
[Wear OS General] sondakika:
Hello,

First of all thanks for sharing this.

But;

I just tested this, but at the end I just get the default face from watchmaker, renamed/copied and moved all the files/folders that you mentioned, but no luck.
[Wear OS General] Simc13:

[Wear OS General] Taufrog:
Hi neivvv

For me your tut also worked great :good:

Thanks for sharing

Could you tell me how you get more than one face on your watch?

How do you name them?

U2, U3, U4 ??? Or did they all are named U1?

Thanks the Taufrog
[Wear OS General] Snowby123:
I have a question that could be answered here.

I have read in this thread that you can install apps from watchmaker, however I found no information on the watchfaces from the playstore.

Is there any way to install third party watch faces downloaded from the play store?

I would love to have an answer sooner rather than later.
[Wear OS General] Heath101:
Did you have to do anything special to your watch to push files. I installed both files but can't seem to be able to push watch zips over. I also have a Huawei watch.
[Wear OS General] pauljmiddleton:
Sorry of this is a stupid question but could you not just but a really cheap broke android phone off ebay, say one with a smashed screen that still works but nobody would want to use normally, then pair your Android watch with that and upload watch faces from the store there, then pair back to your iPhone?
[Wear OS General] wkevinw:
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. When you pair to iOS, it installs/modifies a totally different set of "behaviors" in the watch (no WiFi, no Bluetooth controls, etc.). Same when pairing to an Android device. I did almost as you suggested (bought a $40 no contract Android phone and didn't buy any minutes) just to run WatchMaker. And as far as I know you have to do a factory reset to move between the two different environments.

However, all is not lost. I have refined a few of the ideas mentioned here and will be creating a new post called Getting WatchMaker and other watch faces onto your Android Wear watch with iOS.

It overcomes most of the problems talked about here in the last few pages.

[Wear OS General] pennywise1988:
Hey Kevin, just so I don't get my hopes up for nothing, does your procedure work also on the first gen moto 360?

Thanks!!
[Wear OS General] wkevinw:
Yes, but only if you have a USB cable. There is a video on YouTube by rootjunky that shows how to build one. Pretty simple - should take about 15 minutes and about $3 in parts (

CE TECH Category 5e Jack - White Model # 5025-WH at Home Depot). I couldn't find a way to do this over Bluetooth, so you will need the cable to allow ADB to work, unless someone else can figure out how to make Bluetooth debugging with iOS work.

Kevin
[Wear OS General] evangilner:
Wear compatibility on iOS is so limited that I ended up not using my 360 anymore once I switched to iOS. Tried it out for a few weeks and it just didn't do it for me. Music playback was pretty buggy too, more so than with my Moto X 2014.
[Wear OS General] spider82:
Sorry for stupid question.

After got my new moto 2nd, I am trying to make it powerful when activated by iPhone.

I wonder is it possible to used a jailbreaked iphone and adb_IOS executable file to debug the watch connected to it.

because not familiar with adb command, I just sshed to my iPhone and tried "adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:adb/hub", it showed error: device not found.

So, I guess the driver is not compatible or I missing the knowledge about debug over bluetooth.

any luck?
[Wear OS General] knowledge2g:
Hi Steve,

I am having trouble trying to reproduce this. I did it one time over a week ago and that was it. After pairing with the iPhone, I am not able to see my moto 360 2nd gen from my android phone at all unless I do a factory restore on the watch again... I made sure to disable Bluetooth on the iPhone and activate debugging over Bluetooth on the watch. Trying to figure out what I am missing here. Any help is greatly appreciated. :confused:
[Wear OS General] RaideIvan:
connectivity to iphone

Like others, I have an iPhone and Moto 360 and made the USB cable ... but removing the strap to login and do something is really annoying.

So I was thinking, given the moto has wifi and we have adb shell access (via USB) cant we persistently enable wifi access,?

something like this link:

h...ttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/8708886/connecting-to-wi-fi-using-adb-shell

h...ttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/22825443/connect-to-password-protected-wifi-network-using-adb-shell

h...ttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/31613019/android-wear-enable-adb-connection-over-wifi-tcp-ip

but I'm very new to andriod so dont know all the locations/syntax, (or necessarily what I'm talking about). Given the moto doesnt use wifi when on bluetooth, if you confirmed the settings of your wifi, then the way you would enable it would to turn off bluetooth on the iphone (the moto should look for an bond to the wifi you setup).
[Wear OS General] johnnyle7:
Hi, I followed this tutorial to try to get myself a nice, favourite watchface. But I was stuck the stage where we have to pack all back. not sure how to do the signing thing, and I have no idea what I was doing from there. I also I tried the "adb devices" , I could see my watch there, but when I type "adb usb", after showing "daemon started successfully", it shows restarting in USB mode. and I stuck there, dont know what to do to get "running in usb mode".

I am very appreciated if someone can help me out here, or at least help me with some keywords so I can go on Google and have look for solutions.

Thanhs in advance.
[Wear OS General] AudiA4_20T:
Great to see some fellow iOS users go against the grain.

My Setup:

- iPhone 5S

- iOS 9.3.1

- Huawei Watch

Things I've Done:

- AERLink (can't really figure out what it's supposed to do . On the watch I can see phone battery and manually force music but nothing else... Also the camera thing is weird in the phone app?)

- Google Calendar (works as a calendar to check dates, but does not sync)

- StayLit Wear (works great)

- Invaders (game, works fine)

- Challenger Watch Face (looks fantastic but no weather, no music controls, etc)

- Husky Dev Watchface (looks more boring than challenger, plus no controls)

- Instaweather Watchface (terrible, no weather data pulled, ruins it)

- Wear Spotify (sucks, doesn't control anything)

- I've tried a few other music apps with no help

Questions:

- Has anyone else figured out how to control music other than the atrocious standard Android Wear App? Right now it takes 3-4 swipes to change a track, unacceptable.

- Has anyone figured out how to get weather data onto a watch face? This sounds incredibly simple but is very frustrating, I check the weather all the time.

- Is there a way to get Google Maps to work with Google Maps on iPhone for turn-by-turn?
[Wear OS General] firehawk:
-Use something like Winzip to zip up the files you extracted from the APK file. Make sure you zip it up without the META-INF subdirectory, and that the structure looks more or less like the zip file you started with.

-Jarsigner and Keytool come with Java JDK 8. Install this first and they will be in the /bin directory.

-Forget about "adb usb". If "adb devices" already shows your watch, then you're good.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

-I think watchmaker watchfaces that have weather need to communicate to the watchmaker app on the phone (which we don't have). Google Now gives me weather by pulling data from the Android Wear iPhone app, but it's a popup.

-I'm pretty sure someone said that the newest Google Maps apk does turn-by-turn with the iPhone Google Maps. I have an older version, so I can't confirm until I sideload a newer one.
[Wear OS General] AudiA4_20T:
I'm out of luck on music controls too huh? Which is the latest .apk for Maps? I'll do some digging.

I have been able to get thru signing the app. but when installing, I got the error like this.

"pkg: /data/local/tmp/watchmaker.androidwear.micro.apk

I didnt get around really well with the cmd steps. totally new for me. Is there any advice on how to get used to those command?
