Not for me an my 360 unfortunately. I've got the same problem as the others. After approximately 20min it loses the connection and I have to manually reconnect.

Another thing, did anyone notice the *calling bug as well? Whenever I get a call my moto 360 disconnects and I have to manually reconnect :/
[Wear OS General] gidi:
So in your case there is no auto reconnect, right?

Are you using [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION]'s latest version?
[Wear OS General] dabears:
Yes I do, together wjtg the "new" Bluetooth pairing App
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Okay, this is bad news.

Makes me wonder how some people claim it is working for them.

Thank you sir.
[Wear OS General] Crem:
I have a feeling [MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION] is really onto something. He submitted his app for a second time to iTunes (first one was rejected due to lack of content) with more features added, like integration of the iOS Health app. It seems very stable too, with auto reconnect. Let's wait and see.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Do we ke know if his app supports auto reconnect?
[MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION]'s solution works fine with all Android Wear except the Moto 360.

I think that neither dev has found a way to make the Moto 360 actually work with the iPhone.
[Wear OS General] masterofdestory:
Moto 360 also works with auto reconnect... But Bluetooth works only 20 minutes with iphone. Android is adapted to android wear.... Moto turn off bluetooth to power saving mode and iphone can't reconnect....

Shiitakeo app works great.... Its a specific of Moto360 ;(((
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
In my 360 testing last night, the BLE software does connect with the latest version but does disconnect after 20 minutes. It will not auto-reconnect. in my experience, I must go back to airplane mode on-off, open BLE open wear-ios app, then 'usually' it reconnects.
[Wear OS General] shiitakeo:
disconnect after 20min, maybe settings are wrong.

and try battery saver app.

connection stable 4-5hours.

and if disconnect after 4-5hours, auto reconnect is fine working.
[Wear OS General] masterofdestory:
Whats settings do you use ?
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
Please advise optimal settings. On 360, ambient is off. Are there additional settings we should be using?
[Wear OS General] shiitakeo:
why did you set current your settings? did you read readme, play store manual and xda thread?

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

> all

and if you want to help someone, please described in more detail.

what's your device? version?

Procedure that you did?

your settings?
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
First off... Thank you for all your hard work on this app. it is greatly appreciated.

Secondly, My apologies for not giving more detail. I mentioned that I turned ambient mode off because that is they only battery saving mode we have in the 360. Is there a 3rd party battery saving app?

The version I am using is your 3.1 apk from github. Currently using the latest BLE app pairing method. Initial connection works well. But, after 20 minutes, notifications stop coming through. I wake up the 360 and will see that the ios_wear app has stopped working. In order to reconnect, I must enter airplane mode and then exit, then open the wear_ios app and open BLE. Sometimes the watch reconnects, sometimes it doesn't. The process is repeated until the iPhone does pair with the watch again. I am using 360, and iPhone 6. Connectivity is limited to 20 minutes in my experience.
[Wear OS General] iAppleDev:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59869452 play store working for updates and installs :) and uninstalls, you can even install apks from iPhone web browser threw play store choose, your watch from the devices menu and it will be installed next time your watch is connected to Internet :)
[Wear OS General] dabears:
Don't see in which way this helps in resolving the disconnection issues :/

Im on an iPhone 6, Moto 360, newest version of BLE and shiitakeo apk from git hub. Same problems here as described by the others. Watch disconnects after approx 20-30min

Edit

Ah and btw the instructions you give in the store are all in Chinese or sth and since I don't understand them I have no clue what ur talking in the instructions. Nevertheless, I followed the installation instructions posted on Git hub
[Wear OS General] shiitakeo:
music control app alpha release.

don't use BLE Utility and LightBlue.

video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIgc1jgYfa0

zip: http://goo.gl/GAkC88

# install

1. install apt to your wear.

2. copy app to iphone(/Applications)

(use iFunbox)

3.$chmod 0755 -R andorid_Utility.app

(use ios8 terminal)

=> you can use "android wear utility" app. for paring and musiccontrol.

# How to use

1. open andorid wear utlity app in iphone

2. open android wear for ios app in android wear

3. enter pin code, and execute success animation

4. push wear's crown

5. "music" notification available on home screnn.

6. click music notification.

7. move to music control screen. youcan control iphone's music.

※this is alpha. so, I'll remove this file in the few days.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
The app on the iPhone requires JB, right?

Do you think it is possible on JB iPhone to also provide networking/Siri/Google Now?

Thank you for your efforts [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION]!
[Wear OS General] swyner:
Same question. Does this require jail broken phone? If not how to use terminal as I got all the other stuff in place using the apps from App Store.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
Terminal is a Cydia app that of course requires JB.

Also the chmod command changes file permissions and for that you need root access. which again means JB.

The thing is, if [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION] decides to work on a JB app, what kind of added functionality could be achieved?
[Wear OS General] iAppleDev:
I used iPhone to download with iFile then unzipped and moved to /Applications folder and changed permissions to 755 all with iFile and rebooted the iPhone done working all day so far and yes i'm JB :) but no it don't require a jailbroken iPhone in the future version's;) "this is the first alpha". He would have to summit the app to the apple App Store and would work with any Unjailbroken iPhone/iPad/iPod;) but would have same problem [MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION] is having with apple rejecting it for not enough user content :( or upload it as source code to net and anyone with an Apple Dev account and Xcode could use on unjailbroken iPhone too, so far killer job [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION] :) [emoji106]
[Wear OS General] cryshop:
I got an update from the donate version on the Playstore today v.1.3 (Apr 2), and somehow, no matter what I have tried, I cannot get my G Watch connect with my iPhone again. Could you look into this [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION]? Thanks!
[Wear OS General] faymus:
I dl file unzipped to applications and changed permissions but I don't see the wear app even after a reboot. Where is the app suppose to be?
[Wear OS General] S suxeN:
Shiitakeo switched from "Light blue" to The "blt utility" which he wrote in english in The description. Same process of Installation, but möge stable
[Wear OS General] cryshop:
Thank you, I did not pay much attention to that, I thought it was the same process with LightBlue. Phew...
[Wear OS General] remofo:
Try several reboots and maybe some resprings as well. I couldn't see the app either but remembered from various other exploits to restart/respring multiple times and sideloaded apps eventually appear.

[MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION], nice work! This version fixes the 20 minute Bluetooth issue with the moto 360 :good: Music controls are solid & responsive just like a Pebble!

--

I spoke too soon...moto360 BT was booted from iPhone after about 40 minutes. Reconnected no problem but found the Pause button was unresponsive while all the other music controls, including Play, worked fine.
[Wear OS General] svdemon:
So I've also been unsuccessful keeping my moto 360 connected to the iPhone 6+. My set up is the following: note 4 running 4.4.4 for the installation of the mobile wear apk and to send my many watch faces to the watch and on the ios side I'm on 8.1.1 jailbroken. The watch is on 5.0.2 with ambient mode on as per the instructions. No matter what app I use whether it's latest alpha build by shiitakeo or the previous two it is the same result, disconnect after a few minutes and no reconnection. I usually have them both connected to the watch but it's the same if it's just the iPhone as well. I even went as far to download the battery saver app people recommended in previous posts but that didn't do the trick either.
[Wear OS General] rote79:
Hi all,

i need one short advice.

For setting up my stuff (LG G Watch R on 5.02 and iPhone 6+ on iOS 8.2) i borrowed an Android 4.4 device from a friend of mine. I had (of course) to give it back to him...

Now i want to buy my own "cheap" Android device only for setting up the Watch-iPhone connection when needed... Or if a new version comes out.

Can i buy a Lollipop device running 5.1? Does the actual mobile-release also run on an Android 5.1 device? Or do i have to buy a 4.4 device? In simple words: Is the apk upwards-compatible?

Thanks in advance!
[Wear OS General] MattP:
Thank you guys so much! I have managed to pair my LGWR with my iPhone :) If you need any testing, I can help.

[Wear OS General] rote79:
Do you have lots of Android Wear Apps installed on your Android device? If yes, deinstall all Android Wear apps, except Android Wear itself, and of course the Android Wear for iOS app. Let these two apps synchronize with the watch, and after this is done, install the other Android Wear apps (e.g. watch faces, calculator, calendar and other stuff) on your Android device (Xperia Z3) and wait for them to sync with the watch.
[Wear OS General] Zephiris:
not working

still crash
[Wear OS General] joshuahandrich:
1. Buy the $12.99 package here: udid registrations dot com

2. Install imodsign and the certificate and provisioning files according to the sites instructions.

3. Make a folder named "Payload" no quotes and drag the android_wear_for_ios from tweet into said folder.

4. Right click and compress the folder to a .zip file.

5. Change the file name and extension to "android_wear_for_ios.ipa".

6. Drag said .ipa file onto the imodsign app.

7. Open the output with iTunes and sync it to your iPhone.

8. Delete the application from your iPhone and iTunes and repeat steps steps 3-7 when he releases the next update (woohoo!)

Enjoy android wear with your iphone and all is right with the world. Lol

Some "limitations" should be able to be overcome without jailbreak. e.g. the pebble I have can access things like weather and news through the companion app on iPhone. I'm not a developer, but some of the frameworks or api's must be available to do that, but not responding to texts or things like that.
[Wear OS General] cypherx23:
I get the same thing. From a previous post I saw that we're not supposed to use BLE utility or LightBlue anymore. It says to install the android wear utility with iFunbox and that jb was NOT required but I haven't figured out how to accomplish this since everyone is saying that jb is needed. Any other input is appreciated.

try this

after watch connect with ble utility (Dont swipe the watch)

press crown to make blank

wait 4-5 second

touch your watch

it will solved
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
Has anyone with a non-Jailbroken iPhone been able to load the app? I've seen a couple posts of people talking about how it 'should work' with this that and the other thing. But has anyone actually done it on a non JB device?

I tried to rebuild the package from the source just to fix the icons and add other apps.

Successful but Bluetooth pairing doesn't work. :(

Maybe a safety feature of android because i used a different keystore. I don't know because it is my first time to do this.

I hope shiitakeo will fix the icons and add some more apps.

I found out that if you have two phones, an android and an ios, you can have both of them connected at the same time and get notifications from both phones. So cool :)
[Wear OS General] swyner:
Hey, I followed your steps but when I dragged the .ipa file over to imodsign, it startes "coding" and did not stop all night. Can you help me understand what I am missing? I expected it to create an output file but never did. Once I get past this, I will validate if it works with another user. I did sign up and get the certificates and added all that stuff to my keychain. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
[Wear OS General] Zephiris:
it's work! ty!
[Wear OS General] sangkooki:
I did too. so substitute "Payload" for "Package". and success.
[Wear OS General] joshuahandrich:
Shoot, sorry about the typo, guys.

Glad it worked for you.
[Wear OS General] swyner:
Where did it say "Payload" instead of "Package"? I created a folder called "Package" and placed just the one .app file (Android_wear_utility.app) in there, compressed it, renamed it to .ipa and then dragged that to imodsign. Where did I go wrong?
[Wear OS General] joshuahandrich:
The folder you put the .app in should be named "Payload", not named package. Just edited the original post.

Great Work Done

Dear Developers - first of all thank you so much for all the great work done so far!

I will be getting my Moto 360 tomorrow and would like to ask if the following approach is fine to prevent the disconnect issue?

- Install android wear apk tools on Mac with python (I have no other Android device on hand)

- Pair moto 360 with Mac

- Install android_wear_for_ios version 0.3 - need to find the apk file somewhere?

- Install BLE on iphone

- Sync moto 360 and iphone

Be happy!

Thanks for your short feedback,

cman

Android Wear ipa file

If anybody need the ipa file ask for imbox

Would highly appreciate the file! I then only need to Drag it into iTunes and Sync to my iphone or?
[Wear OS General] groovy2312:
Nooo!! you will need to resing the ipa only if you have development certificate
[Wear OS General] BanaHero:
Oh ok I'm sorry I'm not that much into that topic :/
[Wear OS General] swyner:
Awesome! I will try later tonight and report back. Just installed v 0.4 from Git Hub that has the music controls built in but obviously only works with this Android_Wear_Utility.app on your iphone. However, it works with BLE Utility as well for those that do not want to go down that path. I haven't noticed anything substantially different yet but hopefully some icons are fixed.
[Wear OS General] rote79:
Sorry, but the icons are not fixed! Just tried it... :(

I've also tried to rename the .apk to .zip, decompress, change the mail.png, compress and rename to .apk again... But then the package cannot be installed on my Android device!

I would also love to see the mail icon fixed... :D
[Wear OS General] swyner:
yup....arg. I hate complaining because all this development is from people using their own time and believe me, this is a HUGE step forward as I have used the LG G Watch R with iPhone now since the first release was out and absolutely love it. But I wish we could get some icons fixed and made more like the Android ones.....
[Wear OS General] rote79:
Of course you are right! And i, or all of us, really appreciate the hard work of the devs! I just wanted to tell you that (regarding the icons) there are no news... But that doesn't matter, my LG R works with my iPhone, and that's all that counts!
[Wear OS General] andyx8:
Actually it is very simple to fix the icons but i dont know why shiitakeo is not doing it.

His email icon is around 600x339 in size which a 320x320 is enough.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

He even doesnt want to fix the wordings/text in his app like until now it says lightblue that makes a lot of confusion.

It is just a single line plain text that needs to be edited just as same as the icons that needs replacement with a proper size.
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
how long did the re-signing part take once you dragged the ipa into imodsign? After I drag the app from the Payload follder to the imodsign program it just sits there thinking. should this be a fairly instant process?
[Wear OS General] Keblitis:
By changing the folder name to Payload, were you able to get it to work? I still get hung up when I drag into imodsign.
[Wear OS General] swyner:
[MENTION=310234]gidi[/MENTION]. Yes you can have both iPhone and android connected at the same time. I was testing it out last night and was getting gmail notifications and was wondering what the heck was going on. Then I realized it was still connected to the android and I was getting notifications from both.
[Wear OS General] gidi:
That is good. If only we could have networking and Google Now/Siri it would be PERFECT.
[Wear OS General] swyner:
I absolutely 100% agree. I do like that we can still use the step counter and heart rate apps but full network would be my next prefernce for weather, then Siri would top this off.

What other apps work without the "true" Bluetooth to android phone connection?
[Wear OS General] iAppleDev:
Lots of apps work with out Bluetooth or networking games etc.. And you can also istall normal apps for android threw adb but lots just don't work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2908106

I have contacted the Dev who build smartwatch+ and pebble Siri [MENTION=5658103]smart[/MENTION]watch+ to see if he wants to or could help out at all but [MENTION=5658103]smart[/MENTION]watch+ has not replied yet :( I know it's possible :) for Sirito work over Bluetooth but maybe only able to use the mic on the phone not the watch like pebble ;)but then that's better then not at all! ;)

Also might be able to install offline voice files to the watch so we could also use voice commands without android phone connected.

You can use two phones at same time, android and iPhone paired at same time and you still get iPhone notifications and can use voice etc.. But then you have two phones.

I did manage to install android wear app to my z1 android SmartQ watch and tether it to my iPhones wifi then share it threw the z1 but it won't share threw Bluetooth from the iPhone to the z1 only wifi, but the android wear watch seen full networking when z1 was tethered threw wifi, I removed my watch band from the z1 so I can put it in the coin pocket of pants and it stays in all day, then I have for use or wear while being connected to iPhone :)
[Wear OS General] gidi:
[MENTION=4426344]iAppleDev[/MENTION] my man, let me recap what you said and let me know if I got it straight.

You use the Z1 SmartQ watch which runs full Android to connect to the 360 via BT. The Z1 runs the wear app and is tethered via WiFi to the iPhone. The 360 is connected via BT to both watches.

This way you have full networking/Google Now via the Z1 watch and iOS notifications as well.

Sounds like a plausible workaround to me.

BTW how big is the Z1 watch? How long does the battery last?

Regarding the smartwatch+ dev, I had contacted him in the past regarding Galaxy Gear and iPhone combination.

He had responded but told me back then that he would need a Gear watch in order to develop, which he did not have.

I had tried to summon XDA members who would be willing to donate but unfortunately it did not happen.

Hopefully he may want to get involved this time. The android wear market is big!

Thank you for the info you provided.
[Wear OS General] iAppleDev:
Yeah you just need an full android watch with wifi and bluetooth 4.0;)
