So you had it happen and since it was overnight, most likely there wasn't a lost of connection. Whether it be bluetooth or wifi. Was thinking it may be something with switching connections of some sort, but with your example it appears that may not be the case.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Of all the times I've been hit I've never seen any indication that a connection problem was present.

I'm on call 24/7 and the only time my phone is not in my hand or pocket is when I'm asleep or in the shower.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
Is there any way to turn off wake on touch for sw3?

I have root for this latest firm ware and tried advance settings but it didn't work.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
Yesterday I received on phone the Update of Google App and now weather app on smartwatch start to work good.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] spikeyl:
Ive noticed google play seems to be a related issue here. This has updated several times in the last week and now seems to have improved the connection with the watch. However, as per my post in another thread, Im now getting the battery drain overnight!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] gtriamy:
What version of Google Play Services are you on currently?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] spikeyl:
8.15 2250156 240 on phone 7.8.99 213422 534 on watch
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
New Android wear available. Anyone tried?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
The companion app? Yeah it just updates the play services on the watch. No discernable difference
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Just took the update the other day but first day giving it a go.

Anyone get the Sony watch face app update? Looks like they added another digital active watch face. Widget option for a compass that works real time. Pretty cool. Will mess with it today to see if its any accurate.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] GTvert90:
I feel stupid but how does the Sony watch face app work? The app doesn't show in the launcher and I can't figure out how to get to all the customizations through the wear app
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
There's no actual app in the app drawer. Just go into Android wear app and click watch faces. The sony specific ones will show up there. Click the dots and there is an option setting to change aspects of the clock.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
thank you I did not know it ;)

When I click dot I have an option to "Install SW3 face app" and it go to the store to install this specific app for setup the faces in the Android Wear App.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zr1:
Hello

Probably a stupid question but i finally got TWRP and root. Will the latest update cause me to lose either?

I'm still running 5.0.1

TIA
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andrewia:
I'm not sure if the OTA will even flash when you have TWRP and root. You will lose root IIRC. Look for a repackaged zip to flash in TWRP.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] naeg1977:
hello .Is there an option on sony smartwatch 3 to put ON-OFF bluetooth

Wifi has an ON-OFF option does bluetooth have ?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zr1:
Andrewia you are correct, I can't update, in TWRP gives a can not read error when I try to flash zip file in this thread.

So I have to wait for a repackaged zip like you said

thanks for your help
[Sony Smartwatch 3] podycust:
is it just me or does pc companion say that it doesn't have any software for your device after install this update?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jayyysss:
Nice update from swr50.

GPS troubles

Since a week or so I am experiencing problems with the GPS. Getting a fix had become incredibly slow. It can take up to 10-15 minutes. This is very annoying when going for a run. It used to work fine. I am now wondering if it is firmware related, or maybe it is hardware related. Factory reset didnt help. Is anyone suffering similar problems?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stopa10:
Yes, the same for me... GPS fix was almost instantaneous before the update. Now it takes ages. I use the phone to speed this up. Very annoying...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
I guess that is sort of good to hear, so it seems to be firmware related. Is there anything we can do to fix this? Can we roll back to older firmware?

How do you use your phone to speed up the process of getting a gps lock? I really don't wanna bring my phone to my runs.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] naeg1977:
im such an idiot .....

Thank you so much :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] doclloyd:
What apps are you using on the watch with GPS that is having a hard time locking on? I've only used Ghostracer for running and the most recent of it for me has been good (1-2 minutes I think?)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sinvida:
Yeah, i'm mainly using ghostracer and having problems getting a gps lock with it. But it is the same with google maps for example. It wasn't a problem before though, when i could get a gps fix quite easily.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] stopa10:
I noticed that if I run Ghostracer on the phone as well and it has a fix, then the watch will also get its fix almost instantly. Once this happens, I leave the phone back and start my run.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
Updated to the latest companion app and the overheating issue is back! Just experienced one.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andyrtr:
Same here. Today I've seen the battery drain for the first time since the firmware update. Yesterday I've received the AW app update...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] 1619415:
For anyone who wants to upgrade, here is where you findthe sideloadable package
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
New companion app update. Anyone tried?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Stop looking to the companion app. This is a wear os issue
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
But........ never happen if watch not connected to the phone (airplane mode) so.......
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Yes it does.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andrewia:
Once the watch began the sync after setup, I held the power button and went to About > System Updates. It will either say Downloading or Up to date. If it's not Downloading, reset again.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I really wish they would publish the change log
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vtmike:
Everything seems a bit smoother and the new interactive watch faces are nice. Now to see if the battery drains over night.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DarkRazorZ:
If I'm rooted how can I update? Simple factory reset or do I have to do a full recovery from my PC?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] karl0ss:
I downloaded the OTA and trying to update via ADB and it is failing on 53%?

I have downloaded the archive a few times and it not made a difference?...

[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I have to say, it *feels* much nicer. Much more like it was before the last crappy update
[Sony Smartwatch 3] karl0ss:
Could it be as I have flashed crpalmers kernel? does anyone have the stock LDZ22D kernel I can flash to test if need that setting to stock?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] foggy69:
Did you unlock the bootloader when you flashed the kernel?

If you did, try relocking it and see if the OTA completes
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ranf:
You need the stock kernel because the OTA tries to patch boot.img.

If you can't find you can always use Sony PCCompanion to go back to stock (maybe they even have the new firmware already).

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

I sideloaded the OTA without relocking.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] simika:
i didn't get how to have interactive watch faces ???

only with " TOGETHER " ?? and if u don't have anyone to pair the phone with? lol

i updated smartwatch software and android wear is 1.3 version..

mmm jsut didn't get this ;(

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Yes it is. You can easily restore your watch using the Sony PC Companion software, which will allow you to sideload the update (unless they have updated their image, which would do both in one shot)..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Alfonso87:
Sorry guys anybody could tell me what is the LCD DENSITY value of this update?

I messed up with adb and, even if i'm not sure, the comand adb shell wm density reset didn't give out the right density value. I would try to set it by myself.

Thank you

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
Nice... My watch isn't recognised by adb at all. Completely stock. I've got full ADB installed and it recognises my phone just fine.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vladthedog:
did you enable developer options on the watch? (and usb debugging)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
Nope. Thanks mate. Completely forgot that.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vladthedog:
I did the same thing last night
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
The sad thing is that the watch isn't still being recognised. Any other tips?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vtmike:
You have to go into device manager on your PC and update the driver so it recognizes your watch as an adb device when debugging is on and again when you're in recovery mode while under side load update.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
The thing is, I'm currently running Windows 10 and I cannot change the driver. It won't let me choose what I want, it always installs the default Smartwatch 3 driver. I need try this later with my wifes Macbook.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vtmike:
Works fine for me on windows 10. You have to make sure you already have the Google drivers installed on your computer.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
I have. I've tried pretty much every way to install the driver again and again. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling Windows.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] vtmike:
Maybe uninstall the sw3 driver first?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jdjta:
Maybe a stupid suggestion but did you put your watch in Recovery mode before inserting the USB cable?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sirrelevant:
Yeah, I got hung up in a similar way. It wasn't until after I chose "sideload via adb" on the watch that it did any good to update the driver in device manager in windows.

FWIW I used the watch method of going to recovery mode, instead of "adb reboot recovery" in windows.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] xfortrenox:
Has anyone figured out a way to have the sharp corners instead of the rounded corners?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
If I got to recovery, I get a red triangle with a black exlcamation mark in the middle and nothing else.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jdjta:
Touch the screen once, a menu should come up in which you can choose 'ADB Sideload' by swiping up/down and confirm your choice by swiping left.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tolukolvi:
Nothing happened. After about 10seconds the device rebooted back to system. Next trying Sony Companion to fully restore the device. Let's see if that helps with getting to recovery at all.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Alfonso87:
Am I wrong or the screen block got a new feature? I didnt remember it could activate automatically when I take off my sw3.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andrewia:
No way without rooting. I'll email the Advanced Settings dev, they might be able to look into it.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

What do you mean by "screen block'?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyber_pete:
Anyone run into the issue when in recovery and sending the command adb sideload "filename" getting a response of error: device '(null)' not found?

Debugging is enabled and is recognized, it boots successfully into recovery using adb reboot recovery. I see the message on screen in recovery "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ...

Sony's PC companion does not ever find the watch, could there be something related to that?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jdelgado89:
I haven't got the OTA update yet, been checking since yesterday and nothing, connected via the Sony PC companion I guess sony havent updated it yet I hope tomorrow will be my lucky day.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Why wait? Grab the download link a page or two back, and update it manually...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jdelgado89:
But on future updates will I get OTA or I will have to always manually update. ?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] plemen:
I was having issues with ADB recognizing my watch. I installed the latest ADB and it worked fine - you can get the latest ADB in a minimal package here:

First day with the new fw...ended up with 75% battery with normal use. I have screen always on option off. So far so good :) with older fw each day one battery drain... :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
So long as you dont root or change the kernel to an unsigned one (aka, one somebody other than Sony compiled) you will get OTA's just fine. You only lose OTA when the boot or system partition is messed with (as i found out myself.. hah)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supercurio:
Sorry to come with bad news, I caught the watch running into the too well known bug under the latest OTA.

https://plus.google.com/+supercurioFrançoisSimond/posts/NSqg9mdECzK
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
So, I had to wrestle with my computer and it was difficult, but I got adb working. The last update from windows I am on win 10 started blocking the adb driver (although it could be the cable I used). I had fastboot, but no adb. It gave a message that there was a problem with the sub driver.

So, I used pdanet to uninstall and reinstall the drivers (it is easy) Then, to get the driver for twrp, I went in and installed the Google drivers using the nexus root kit.

Now, everything works.

For those of you who asked for the stock kernel, let me know if you still need it. I backed mine up. Speaking of, if you want to block updates, you can root and install twrp with classify (back up your kernel first). The update will fail because twrp cannot process these update files. Falshify works without unlocking your boot loader. :)

If you want to sideload this update, it will still allow future otas.

This watch is amazing and really easy to manipulate the system on because if you leave the boot loader in tact, you can always go back if you mess up the system.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Damn.... when i see somebody of your background wrestling with this, i know its a serious issue....

Seriously, i WANT to love this watch. But between the grounding bug, and the battery bug...

Maybe one day we will get a fully featured AW watch that delivers it all..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Grounding bug?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
A number of users (including myself, though mine isn't as bad) have devices whose GPS can get wonky when exposed to moisture on the wrist; this implies that the GPS (and possibly other components) are grounding out against our bodies; this kills GPS performance. A number of people have solutions - sweat bands seem popular. In my case, i sprayed it with plast-dip to help insulate.. seems to be ok..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Huh. Wasn't aware of that.

Thanks.

Is plas-dip a consumer product?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Indeed it is. You can find it at most regular hardware stores (it sprays on, but is easy to remove) or auto parts stores.

If you are interested, there is more info in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch-3/o...gps-tracker-sony-smartwatch-3-t2959999/page23

Looks good battery life (so far) at 98% 5 days estimated.

I left the watch at alone and took the phone away to try to trigger the drain bugs bit didn't seem to trigger.

Hopeful.

Let's give it a few days as the bug was random
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ruggs1234:
Just a minor change....if Aeroplane mode is ON and you switch Wifi ON you cant switch it off again until you switch Aeroplane mode off. You could before the update.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] azeez77:
Wow 5 days i did clean install on my phone and android wear updated the watch firmware so everything was fresh and mine wear app told me 2 days 13 hours on full charge
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nio97:
flashable .zip?

can someone please make a flashable full .zip file? :) i cannot get the update done 'couse of fingerprints error....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] peterf9:
Weather isn`t working for me neither
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
This is a sideloadable zip. It is just as good. However, you need to use the stock recovery.

Using the stock recovery, adb does not see the watch until you enable sideloading in the recovery (swipe down to enable the menu, and swipe down to adb sideload. Then follow the directions.

Good luck.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
Battery life much improved. 18 hour in 84%
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Yeah battery life definitely seems better with this update. Also, a lot smoother too. Still testing out everything though.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Flav106:
Hello,

The weather App is not working on my Watch.

Is it working for you ?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Ironically, i agree.. battery is better.. at least it will be so long as the bug doesn't bite me. But i am expecting it at this point.....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Working here.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Not good..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
Wifi?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] azeez77:
well for me its a great improvement from the half day recharge lol still going to monitor it hopefully it will get better as the rom settles
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Yeah...but I don't think it's ever been connected. At least when pulling down my notification shade, never saw the WiFi icons. But WiFi is definitely on. No gesture, always on screen, location off.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
I don't think this bit is untuitive but this is how it works, even if you have cloud sync disabled, just the mere act of looking at Wifi settings turns it on, you have to then delete all saved networks than any prior enabled cloud sync pushed the Wifi passwords to the watch and then disable Wifi. You can basically have Wifi enabled even if you never explicitly wanted it to. I've just done these steps on mine as I found a factory reset drove the same old bugs back in of it enabled Wifi.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
So, you can turn off the WiFi. Go to settings, WiFi settings, scroll down and click on WiFi automatic (you may need to click accept first), click on yes, I want to disable WiFi, now, swipe right, it will be disabled.

Battery bug hit me yesterday. Took it off the charger at 7am, at 10am was at 9X% then at 10:40 my watch was at 16.... :(

Going to try a clean install of the new firmware and the androidwear app today.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nicholas64:
this morning running session with ghostracer and wear media switched on (no notifications, phone left at home). battery from 100% to 60% in 1 hour and 20 minutes. i think not only gps sensor is affected by sweat , but bluetooth too. music begins to scratch in my headset and i have to move watch from left wrist to right one to fix signal again
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
IF you having problems with the "battery bug" and are comfortable flashing a custom kernel, please test the kernel I just released for this updated version of wear:

http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch-3/orig-development/kernel-crpalmer-s-tetra-kernel-lca43-t3184872

and report back on whether or not it fixes it for you. I believe it does for me as I haven't had any problems in the week or I've been running my kernel fixed kernels on both this release and the last wear release and I am looking at the root cause (logcat) and not just guessing as to what might be the cause.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Bear3825:
G Watch got this update. I believe there will be a much deeper cycle for wear since the second gen is still spawning. Hell Moto 360 II isn't even out yet. G Watch R is still 1st gen along with everything else out there. Even the Urbane is 1st gen tech. I think we are going to be good for a long time as far as updates go.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dave_id87:
I'm hoping NFC gets enabled at least with android pay
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Nah I don't see this being the last update at all. Why would it be? All updates come from Google I believe. Not like you have wireless companies messing with the release process. Kinda goes to show how much it sucks that android phone don't have the update process like Android wear. All devices getting updates at the same time.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] skriefal:
Still no update here. How long does it typically take Sony / Google to roll out these updates?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
deliberately a small release then a pause wait for bugs to appear then if nothing major then a broader release. Expect over week.

I must say, the bug rate for Wear with the SW3 is much higher than anything else I've had Android. Early adopter small sample pool :o
