I am in the same boat haven't got the update I try to side loaded but for some reason I cannot setup the drivers. I have windows 7 64 bit latop; I have the Sony PC companion working, I downloaded the SDK and try to manually add the drivers and nothing :(

I guess I am going to have to wait for the OTA
[Sony Smartwatch 3] skriefal:
I'd do that if I could get ADB to recognize the watch. But nothing has worked. I've successfully used ADB with Amazon FireTVs and with a Samsung tablet. But not with the Smartwatch 3.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nio97:
try to open settings on your desktop and search for devices...then connect watches to computer and thne you will see the connected device...now just configure it, update its driver and select "use driver from computer", find some ADB driver and you're ready to go :)

hope this will help you and that you will understand
[Sony Smartwatch 3] A2CKilla:
when you get the watch in adb mode (I'm sure you had developer options on first) if it doesn't automatically install, go to device manager, you'll see the smartwatch there with an exclamation point. Right-click and update driver, manually choose the driver and uncheck show compatible hardware, then select the current version....profit!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyber_pete:
Is there a similar trick for fastboot? When I try to sideload in fastboot it doesn't recognize the device and I am choosing sideload from the fastboot menu. ADB is working fine. Has anyone seen this?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] A2CKilla:
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't side load the update in fastboot, it has to be in adb in the recovery menu, not fastboot menu. I made that mistake as well because I'm so use to flashing on my phones. Once you're in recovery and choose update from adb, it should flash in no time at all
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyber_pete:
Sorry you are absolutely correct (the fastboot issue was something different). It is in ADB in recovery after selecting sideload that the device is not being found.

I tried fastboot to fastboot into TWRP and sideload that way but no luck there either.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andyrtr:
Using some WatchMaker watchface I'm also no more receiving weather data. Can this be solved by cleaning some app cache? I've factory reset the watch so far without luck.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Weather seems back after some time. Maybe the syncing happened a bit late.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] A2CKilla:
If it helps at all, my watch is completely stock with everything, no root, no custom recovery, that little guide I gave a few posts back is how I got it to recognize AFTER I got it in recovery mode and had it set to update from adb, after that everything went smoothly
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyber_pete:
Thanks, ADB works fine for me when it is not in recovery but for some reason once I enter recovery and select sideload the device is no longer seen.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] plemen:
I had similar issue. I downloaded latest minimal adb package and it stated working.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomtecs:
I had a lot of problems finding the right driver. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit and I have the latest ADB package installed but still no go.

Finally found Universal ADB Driver by Koush on Github and it worked like a charm!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
The recovery does use a different adb driver than the watch. In addition, the stock recovery only enables adb after you select load update from adb. You have to scroll and swipe.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DrearierJester1:
so i have installed every adb drivers mentioned here. my SW3 got detected and installed the ADB interface and got adb device a positive results, but after adb reboot recovery, it no longer detects, not even the hardware is detected because there's no Yellow excalation under Device Properties, any idea?

EDIT:

OK working now. When you are on recovery mode and on the android robot logo swipe up or down and select apply adb update and you're good to go
[Sony Smartwatch 3] skriefal:
This was my problem. I had to reinstall the ADB composite driver AFTER putting the watch into recovery / sideload mode. Then the watch appeared when I ran "ADB devices", and I was able to sideload the update.

This is on Windows 10 x64, and using the current Google USB driver from the Android SDK.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
Today was my first proper full day representative work day where I use the watch for my primary interest of no WiFi no location just as notification on my wrist.

It is now back to pre the last version, if not better. 14 hours off since charge 67% full looking like would get to nearly tomorrow evening.

I disabled anything hogging battery just as I had before the last update. I don't need WiFi so picked every setting to not use it no cloud sync on phone and then watch WiFi saved deleted then WiFi disabled.

Note: did have two forced asks to reset watch before but not again today though. Fingers crossed I get it like today again!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Lancerz:
Anyone else been getting random reboots since doing the update? The battery drain is gone though so I'm happy lol.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lupick:
same here weather app not working...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] foggy69:
Contacts are showing as temporarily unavailable, despite showing when the watch was setup after a factory reset.

Weather app not working here in the UK for me. Is this only available in certain regions at present?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] konradwan:
How to get rid of those HIDEOUS, HIDEOUS rounded screen corners?

What the hell is it supposed to be anyway? What are they thinking? You know what would be good? Simple option in settings? Like "Do you want your watch to look like crap?". Or perhaps ability to disable updates?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I don't mind it. But yeah there should be a switch for it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zabumba:
Weather working well here. Install through adb over previous 5.1.1 no reset.

hi guy in France with new firmware 5.11 weather no working
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
On this firmware battery is not only fixed, it is better. On last firmware when battery bug wasn't there battery on my Smartwatch 3 would last 2 days with wifi turn on but now it can last 3 days with turn on wifi. I am not using maps or navigation. This is like on old Android 4.4 W2 and android 5.0.2.

Only bad think is that weather says: Could not retrive weather. Unknown error. And now it is not working. Does anyone know how to fix that?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I'm not finding either I'd the case.

Battery is worse and bug hasn't gone.

I might factory reset and try again.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vnx:
It's been a couple of days since I got the update and I see no signs of the battery drain bug. I don't even restart it after every charge anymore. I'm quite happy with it... At the moment.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] runningwarrior08:
After a complete factory reset of watch and reinstall of Android wear battery drain seems to be gone for me now.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Just wait.. its still out there.. cropped up and bit me yesterday, even though i had done a full restore via Sony's PC Companion.. the bug is there, but its random if it gets triggered..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] runningwarrior08:
Yup sure is. Not even an hour after posting this it slapped me in the face. From 81 to 42 within like 30 minutes :( .

Back to restarting.

Contacts will show as unavailable if you've turned off WiFi on the watch and/or Cloud Sync on the Android Wear app. Simple reboot of the watch will fix it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pedrogz:
I don't receive any kind of notification when I'm using WiFi... I did a factory reset and it connects to WiFi but cloud sync doesn't work at all...

Any ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] machostallion:
Just got the update pushed. Watch now shows

Wear. 1.30.2160025

Play services 7.8.99(2134222-534)

Android os 5.1.1

I have only just gotten it so no clue as to battery life but it has done something to the display. I notice the rounded corners everyone has mentioned but my display also is slightly tilted a couple of degrees in a clockwise direction. Restarting hasn't fixed it. Has anyone else noticed this after the update?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
My display is rotated a degree or two clockwise, but has been since i bought it. Not enough to actually stop using it, but enough to trigger my OCD most days. :P
[Sony Smartwatch 3] machostallion:
I'll be able to live with it if necessary but it's got to be software based since mine wasn't like that before the update. I'll try a factory reset later of I can't find another solution.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
Just got the update. Anyone knows how to make theatre mode stick?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
Day 2 and feeling good
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chinfong:
Just got the OTA here in Malaysia and will see how is the battery life...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jervine:
I've also received the update in Hong Kong. So far it seems that no-one has mentioned it - as far as I can tell, NFC has been enabled by this update. Holding my phone's NFC area over the watch face triggers the Android Wear app to launch on the phone.

Battery life seems good so far, at least I haven't noticed my wrist being warmed up yet during today.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
That NFC trigger has always worked. Even prior to this update.

Weather not working - Slovakia

[Sony Smartwatch 3] chinfong:
Weather is working fine - Malaysia. Temperature is displayed in F, not C.

Battery life so far is good, with Always-on screen = Off, WIFI Automatic. it is same with my previous battery consumption, but before this, I do not have WIFI on.

now is 69% since last full charge yesterday 5pm, turn off the watch from 10pm to 8am.... and 20 hours to go...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Grovewar:
wonderfull round corner!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zeppo33:
I have now used the update for a few days and was surprised to see the battery lasting for almost an entire extra day. However after last recharge (no restarting) it started using a lot of power for no good reason again. It went from 100% to 65% in 6 hours with not using it all. I havent had any of the massive drops in <1 hour that i had before, so i guess it is somehow better.

Guess its back to restarting after every charge - that worked liked a charm on previous version. I wonder though, does google have a REAL solution to the problem?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ebones:
As the one who was planning to install TWRP to root and (later) try ROM development, should I be concerned with this update? Maybe skip it completely?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lordgoata:
I only got my SW3 on Saturday, so have no experience of it pre Lollipop 5.1.1 or pre-this latest firmware. But I have to say, I am extemely pleased with the battery life, so far. I tend to only wear the watch when I am out and about, when I am at home or work its on the desk, so I guess with all the sensors "resting" it may explain the battery life, WiFi & Location are Off.

I did have the battery drain bug when I was first setting it up (before it updated to the current firmware), but not since.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Just realized I'm missing the contacts section of the slide out. It use to be apps, contacts, and than speak now. Now I just have apps and than speak now. Anyone missing the favorite contacts section?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Ive seen the occasional report that the Moto360 is getting LCA44B

Is that something we might get as well?

anyone know what the diff is between LCA43 and LCA44B?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nicholas64:
after days of use, for me with this new firmware solved battery drain problems in stand by (bluetooth active for notifications), only with heavy use (music + gps, for example) i found battery consumption (40% in a couple of hours)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sirrelevant:
looks like 43 is square watches, 44B on round ones.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stopa10:
I am also missing contacts. After the upgrade, it just says "Contacts unavailable at the moment". Anyone else?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
It's weird, cause if I remember correctly that's what I saw after receiving the update. Than I did a factory reset and now the section is completely gone. So its as if they maybe removed it, but a dirty flash doesn't completely remove it. I'm not sure.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ranf:
Just a reboot did it for me.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] admisi:
Happens if you switch Cloud Sync on or off, simple reboot resets it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Bear3825:
I'm loving the update. Not one issue. I even have all my favorite contacts. GPS on, WiFi/cloud sync on, only card previews on and using the digital stock watch face.

I'm quite happy.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
I'm a week now of very pleased with the latest SW3 update. The battery life on a heavy use day for me is no less than 40% left on battery after >12 hours off power, more typically 60% left..

Now phone is now on 5.1.1 (OnePlus, COS12.1) and my next thoughts are about Android Pay. I actually think I'd prefer to use the NFC on the watch on the terminal, its more convenient for me than the phone, especially if my OnePlusOne dies and I get the no-NFC OnePlus2 as the replacement (aside: no NFC in 2H15 is plain dumb, mitigated it Wear supports it).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] SirRobin78:
Smartwatch 3 on latest fimrware in germany, weather is not working...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] spikeyl:
Having quite a few issues since the update:

* shorter battery life - getting 18 hours max rather than 24 hour before

* getting interference with bluetooth audio on headphone (stops music/disconnects)

* phone battery not displaying correctly or updating on watch faces

* connection problems with phone (not always obvious - i.e. wont say its disconnected)

* missing contacts (rebooting helps, but disappears every now and again)

This was after a factory reset.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Grilloman:
Battery drain still exists, phone get warm and after a while it shutdown
[Sony Smartwatch 3] admisi:
Not had a single drain since the update for 5 days now without restarting the watch. Note that I did a full factory reset on watch after update, and on the phone I forgot the watch, cleared cache and data in Android Wear app, and cleared all cache and data on Google Play Services.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] spikeyl:
Out of interest - why the cache and data on google play services?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vladthedog:
I did the same and haven't had any issues in the last ~5 days or so. Haven't had to reboot it once and when i go to bed it's usually about half full still (pretty much what it was prior to the fiasco).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andy905:
I still have battery drain, the sw3 got really warm during the drain until I rebooted to stop it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Hey fellas,

I recently flashed a new rom and wiped my entire phone. Ever sense then my "touch" has been off about a half inch, it always think I am lower than what my finger actually is. I returned to stock and it was fine, I flash everything over again and the problem comes back. The issue seems to be flashing CF Auto-root 78542, has anybody ran into this issue before?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
I found a more up to date (78557) version, I will try that and report.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Nope thats not it either.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Make sure you are using the correct version. Normally this occurs because you flashed the wrong model number.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Thats what I thought but I don't think so. I am going to double check and maybe re download everything
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
As far as I can tell, everything is good.. N910T
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
Don't worry, here is the fix for it.

I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago.

Go to the dialer screen and click in:

*#2663# screen fix works perfect, it will display a menu, select re-calibrate

or update or something to that effect, ( I forgot the exact wording)

But when you see that menu screen you will know which one to click.

You might have odin flashed the wrong twrp for the phone, but either

way this will fix it.

I would suggest that before you do this, odin flash the n910t

stock samsung firmware, that way twrp will get over-written.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Will do. I really want to go back to the fire kat rom but I am tired and dont feel like messing around with things anymore. Just want a WORKING phone lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Its defenetly CF AUTO ROOT. I tried an older and newer version with nothing, what the hell ive never had this issue.

And the *#2663# isnt working.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
We both have the identical phones N910T (I am assuming).

If that's the case perhaps you should try it again, be sure to do a

full wipe first and then odin flash the official stock COG2 firmware

before entering the code.

Be sure NOT to odin flash twrp recovery or cf-autoroot

after odin flashing the firmware, don't flash anything

except the odin flash official COG2 firmware until the

problem is solved.

It has to work because it worked for me and I had the

identical problem as you are having now.

Good luck!.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
I am almost done downloading the 5.1.1 official t-mo zip. If this doesnt work I will try that.

Thank you by the way

TWRP recovery request fastboot command

I tried to flash twrp.img on my Zenfone 2 ver 2.17.40.12 (rooted). I guess there was a version mismatch, because I ended up with the screen saying "Fastboot cmd waiting". I am allowed to power down and normal boot, which work, but options "recovery mode" and "restart bootloader" return me back to the same screen saying Fastboot cmd waiting.

I tried to do a factory reset, but I got the same screen and nothing else. I downloaded ZIP file with the correctoriginal recovery for my version and tried to use fastboot command update, but it failed with message saying that archive does not contain android-info.txt and neither android-product.txt.

I will appreciate your advice to resolve my problem.
