I got the exact same error until I unlocked my watch using the fastboot oem unlock method.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 PM ----------

Does this Kernel kill the rounded corners seen in the update? Mine just disappeared all of a sudden and I'm not sure if it was when I flashed this kernel or something else.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DarkRazorZ:
Didn't even realise that but yeah, my rounded corners are gone too. I prefer it that way though.

Second charge on this kernel, watch is nearing 44 hours with 33% left. Awesome work!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kam33mitch:
Thanks, I thought I messed something up there.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lupick:
Strange in my case I can get only 36h off charger.

I have around 3% per hour of battery drain.

I've checked the kernel version in proc/version and looks installed.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] sirrelevant:
I'm not seeing these impressive numbers either, but better than it's been since 5.0.2. Still on my first full charge with this kernel.

I didn't have a sudden drain since the 1.3 patch, but battery life seemed to be worse than ever. So far, this seems a good improvement.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
No offense taken. Rooting does not void your warranty flashing requires you to unlock your boot loader which does.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
I think your battery life is OK. Some people report ridiculous battery life way above average so either they are lying or they are doing something (for example battery life on SW3 is amazing if you shut off tilt to wake AND always on display).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lupick:
Is you weather app working? On my watch no. I wonder if it could Impact battery drain

[Sony Smartwatch 3] mdomfu:
can someone send me the stock kernel? I mean the kernel that the watch have before boot this boot
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kam33mitch:
It would be good to have a link to this. I found I could not sideload the OTA update once I flashed this Kernel. I'd hate to not be able to load 1.4(?) when it comes out in Nov (maybe).

Just to explain, I got excited that I had messed something up on my flashing when the round corners disappeared. When I tried to re-flash 1.3 it would not get past 53%. Later I found out that everything was OK so I'm not worried about it now but I'm not sure how to update in the future.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] greenbat:
Kernel works great! It's fast! And the Bluetooth problem, which I had with latest official rom, is gone with this kernel. Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
This is the other reason to use flashify. It backs up the kernel before you flash a new one. It is not the only way to back up your kernel, but certainly the easiest.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lupick:
Have you tried with Sony pc companion?

Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kam33mitch:
At this point, I'm not trying to go back to 1.1. This is for the future when the next OTA comes out. The custom kernel kills the sideload. Got it on the flashify but the cow left that barn already.

Just saying it would be good to have a link to the stock kernel.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
Overall I'm very pleased with this Kernel, but I do still run into the random massive battery drain. One time I believe it was caused by google play services since I got a message in my phone saying it stopped working. The most recent drain I have no idea. Before and after images attached

Before:

After:

imgur.com/mVqnoVm

Second screenshot was taken after the first. Can't remember the time frame, but I believe it was close to 30 - 45 minutes.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
Can you confirm that you are running the kernel by copy and pasting the output of

adb shell cat /proc/version

? If so, I haven't seen any battery drain like that in quite awhile. Can you please get a logcat if it happens again?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] inteks:
great kernel! thank you [emoji6]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
Feature request: Stock LCA43 kernel has rounded corners. This kernel does not have them, so it appears this is kernel based.

When source drops, please provide a setting for user to choice whether they want the corners or not. Many users (including me) do not want them but Google did not provide option to turn it off.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zoomy942:
Morning!

I was wondering 2 things...

1. A fastboot flashable .img of the stock kernel. This way people can test this out and easily go back to the stock kernel.

2. In this thread for the LG G watch, hotplugging was enabled...

http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/kernel-invisibleks-dory-kernel-t3082669

Could this be enabled for the cores on this kernel/watch?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I just use framer to add the rounded corners effect the great thing about it is that you can set the strength too try it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
No, I want the reverse: I don't want rounded corners.

This kernel does not have them at the moment, but when source for original kernel drops, it will get this feature. I don't want it.

Hello, i have been in love with your kernel but I have noticed in the last day or two the battery life has been terrible and I am getting 9% drain an hour even though it's in ambient mode majority of time, when previously I was getting around a day and half on your kernel. Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
Did you install any new apps (phone or watch) recently? Did you change any configuration? Change watch faces?

If there wasn't some change then can you send me a logcat from when the battery is draining that fast?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zoomy942:
Thanks!!

Any thought to the mpdecision idea? That hotplugging is great on the g watch but I don't know if it's a qualcom only thing.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] anees167:
Will do but.... Erm... How do you send a logcat?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sirrelevant:
Maybe coincidence, but since I've started using this I've witnessed 3 spontaneous reboots of the watch. It recovers quickly, at least, but not sure what else to attribute it to.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mickael91210:
Hello,

When I tried to flash this kernel, I had an error "FAILED (remote: device locked)".

Can someone help me please?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kam33mitch:
I had the same problem until I did the OEM Unlock process mentioned in one of the how to root threads. I did not go through the whole root process, just the unlocking and then flashing the kernel would work after that.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] gscollier:
Unlock bootloader:

In fastboot:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

fastboot reboot

adb reboot bootloader

flash boot from bootloader: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Test with adb shell cat /proc/version
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
After you think it is draining too fast (consistently), plug it into a computer that has adb installed and drivers configured that can talk to the watch and then open a terminal / command shell and run

adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

and then send me the logcat.txt and dmesg.txt files that were created.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zoomy942:
Just noticed I've been quoting the wrong person about the mp decision idea. This is the right person.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mickael91210:
Thanks a lot, I now have this kernel in test...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
I was just hit with the drainage bug after I restarted my watch this morning. I originally had around 49% before restarting then after looking down around 2 minutes later i was down to 7%. Looks like the drain must have stopped after 7% so i'm not really sure what caused it. Anyways i was able to get a logcat file and dmesg file out of it. Log files attached..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
FYI, I looked at the log before actually reading your message and my conclusion from looking at the log was that whatever bad happened before the watch must have rebooted itself. There is no indication of anything going wrong other than the fact that it booted up. After reading your message, honestly, this looks like this is a battery (hardware) problem. Even with all 4 cores running at 100%, the battery lasts between 1-2 hours. Dropping 42% percent in 2 minutes would mean that it's possible to drain a battery in about 5 minutes which isn't possible.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
Not sure if it's a hardware problem, but i'll look into returning it to Sony since it looks like i have a pretty extreme version of the bug. To me it always seemed like it might not be calculating the actual battery amount correctly then when it's completely drained it just drops to correct. The picture below is a screenshot I took over the course of several days before trying this Kernel or the new OTA update:

http://imgur.com/vi2YchR

I caught it several times and plugged it in as you can see. If it happens again i'll try to take another log so we can see if it is a hardware problem, but I will tell you that i've seen it drain with my own eyes 1% every 2 seconds until it hits 0%. I've watched it on my watch face which is how I caught and plugged it in. That's kind of the reason I think it's either my battery amount not be calculated properly or something crazy happening.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] royalflush5:
Can anyone offer some help? I can't get my SW3 to be seen by adb devices... I have usb debugging on, but it's showing up without a driver in windows 7. Tried a driver I found through windroid toolkit and it won't install. Any ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kam33mitch:
Look for universal abd drivers in goggle. Then make sure you have enabled developer options and adb on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Also, make sure you are using a good cable. I got a right angle cable from Amazon, and it is so cheap, it does not allow the watch (or any device to connect for that matter).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] PiCkLeS:
Any updates to this kernel in the near future? Just wondering if there has been any changes that might go into this branch lately.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Moguledyouth:
Could anyone offer up their experiences with this kernel up to now? How is the battery life compared to stock and with what options enabled? Always on screen, GPS, Wifi etc. Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
My battery life is usually 2 full days on one charge with WiFi and GPS on. I have Always-on screen and motion gestures enabled for the screen. With the stock kernel, I would get 1 full day max, and a lot of times it would randomly discharge 50% of the battery in a couple hours, leaving the watch dead around noon. Switching to this kernel was easily the best thing I have done so far with this watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
This Kernel has improved my battery life dramatically, but for some reason I can't seem to get 2 days regardless of how hard I try. I don't have wifi on, and at night i turn the screen off. Everyday i seem to lose 40% of my battery randomly, which I think is largely due to the watch not reporting the battery amount correctly. No idea how to fix this/troubleshoot it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
Are you sure the kernel flashed correctly? Random discharge is a known issue on the stock kernel. I had the same issue until I flashed this one. In ADB shell, you can use the following code to make sure you're on this kernel.

adb shell cat /proc/version
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
Pretty sure I flashed it correctly:

Linux version 3.10.86-15588-g938d5b8 (crpalmer@compile) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) )

#1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 23 07:42:42 EDT 2015

When I first noticed this issue I actually reflashed the Kernel just to make sure(also reset to factory etc). Any other suggestions? Guess I can try re-flashing again just to be safe.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
That's the right kernel. I'm not really sure what could still be causing the drain. You've done the troubleshooting already. All I can think is that there must be an app causing it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
I've un-installed all non-stock apps, and I will add them back slowly until i determine the culprit if there is one. I will keep you posted if I get the errant app pinned down(if that's the cause).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
This is probably the best possible thing you can do. My battery life is crazy good with this kernel compared to stock, so I can only imagine it is some random app giving you grief. For reference, the apps I have installed are listed below. By my reasoning, your issue should not be related to anything on this list.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Also, do not discount watch faces. Many of the faces out there eat a lot of battery power. In my experience, the worst are any of the face wrapper apps like facer, intellicom, watchmaker, and the like. Even pujie black can use a lot of battery.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
I thought that might be the issue and i've tried different watch faces with various resules. I usually use the Krona watchface, but I tried minimal & elegant last night since I thought it would be pretty low on the battery drain side of things. Happens with both of them so maybe I will switch to the sony pre-installed watchfaces to see if that fixes the issue.

My app list looks similar now that i've removed everything. Probably the only APP i have that you don't have listed is Wear Battery Stats. I left it on my watch to keep track of the battery drain since it keeps a log even after the watch is completed shut off. Outside of that I agree about getting better battery life with this Kernel. I easily get a day out of it, but for some reason it always seems to have a melt down around 30 - 40%. I hope it's just an app, but at this point who knows. I will keep you posted.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
If it keeps doing that, there may be an issue with the watch that could be handled under warranty. Also, I'm using the LCARS watch face.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
The battery graph you PMed had an impossible battery loss (way more than possible with all 4 cores running at max freq). That is why I told you it was most likely a hardware problem with your battery.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
Yup and that's what lead me to start paying really close attention to the battery percentage(i remembered that the "drain" occurred immediately after rebooting).

Fingers crossed, but I believe I un-installed the offending app. Currently my battery is at 56% and has been okay for 24 hours. I've rebooted several times to make sure the available battery % is correct and I haven't seen any drastic drops of 20 - 30%. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's completely fixed since the sharp drop usually occurs on reboot and then later in the day(around 40 - 30% left).

It's kind of hard to believe that an app could be responsible for it, but it looks like that might be the case....:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
Spoke too soon. Just restarted my watch and BAM. Hit like a ton of bricks:

http://imgur.com/VDXPxPH

I'll try a sony watch face to see if that solves the problem. If it's still an issue I will probably just go ahead and RMA since it's driving me nuts.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
Let me try again...

That drain is not physically possible, no matter what your watch is doing.

That is why it looks like your battery is having hardware problems and cannot be fixed by software.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] drunknarwhal:
So the OS/Kernel couldn't be calculating the battery % incorrectly? It's absolutely a hardware failure? I assumed that it could be a software issue since i've seen a few people mention that Sony told them to charge the battery for 4 hours to troubleshoot similar battery issues. To me this seems a bit excessive and that something else might be happening under the hood.

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but before I updated to the LCA43 kernel i'd see a drain of around 5 - 10% per hour(sometimes as high as 15%). Now it's reporting 1 - 2 % which is great, but probably incorrect(at least that's what I think). Since it's not possible for it to be anything besides a hardware issue i'll just go ahead and RMA the watch. I would love to know what is specifically causing it, but i'm running out of hair to pull out. I hope it is just a case of a bad battery or other internal component.

Help!!! Please
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mattnmag:
In this post ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63203275), you said you upgraded the watch to LWX49k, which is Android version 5.0.2.

If your watch is still on Android version 5.0.2, then you shouldn't be trying to flash this kernel which is for Android version 5.1.1 (LCA43). crpalmer's thread title says this is for the LCA43 only.

If your watch is actually already running 5.1.1...did you unlock the SW3 bootloader, which is typically required when flashing a custom kernel. If not, see this post for help: --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62731112.

yeah I'm running 5.1.1 LCA43 now thanks to OTA's finally coming through to me and yes bootloader is unlocked per fastboot command fastboot oem unlock command (twice) i don't understand how it is just me my buddy did his and tried mine with same results, only difference is my laptop and he did his on his PC

it must be my boot process, after wiping am i supposed to boot into system then power down then fastboot and write the kernel image and then boot system again to power down then boot recovery to get adb to check version?

<edit> my thought is that my boot process is allowing the kernel to be over written or something.

<edit> NOT

you have to boot sw3 into system to check version

Hey,

I just wanted to say thanks a ton for this. I wish I'd listened and just done this before unlocking my bootloader... thereby wiping all apps.

I read your post only after unlocking the bootloader, but decided to try your method anyway - it worked a charm, and it also means I have a backup of the original boot image. Thanks!

One weird thing... is it just me or is ES file explorer almost unusable on the watch? It's unreal, almost every movement I make gives me a 'gesture not defined' error! It must have taken about 20 tries before I managed to open the boot image file!

thanks,

Charlie

Hi crpalmer,

Thanks a ton for this kernel! I'm thrilled that the battery issue with the SW3 is finally gone - I'd posted threads on google groups and here on XDA hoping that it would make someone at Google notice - but no dice.

Would you take feature requests in this thread? I'd love to get MTP working, so the watch basically functions as a flash device wherever I go. I'd messed around before with directly editing init.tetra.usb.rc on my device to enable mtp support, but I was never able to get it working.... ie, I was using a value like this:

property:sys.usb.config=adb,mtp

While this almost works (the watch screen says 'Connected as a media device' when connected with a PC) it looks like there's code missing - Windows doesn't recognize the watch as a media device as it does when I fastboot into TWRP.

Is this something that you'd be interested in? Some points:

-- I had to make sure to first install the terminal emulator - because if I tried an invalid sys.usb.config value, I could no longer connect to the watch til I factory reset. The terminal let me do 'setprop persist.sys.usb.config adb' and connect to the watch again.

-- As mentioned above, if I fast boot into TWRP, the watch is recognized by any PC as a media device. So there's something TWRP is doing that makes it automatically show up as an MTP device.

thanks,

Charlie
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Charlie,

Thanks for the props. As for es, the problem is the gesture dot. You can easily disable gestures in the sidebar.

slide in from the left on the toolbar

Then click on tools

Uncheck gestures.

As a side note, check version 4 out. The one for phones does not have the bottom bar. More screen real estate is always a plus.

~Leko
[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Both solid tips, thanks!!! Never knew about the gestures setting.

I installed version 4 and it's wayyyyyy better. Also, gestures were turned off by default.

thanks,

Charlie
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
Mtp support would probably require framework support which probably doesn't exist in wear. Twrp is different because it doesn't use the wear framework and just does its own mtp service.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Thanks a ton for the response! The thing is, another dev, I think for the gear2, was able to get it working, apparently by making updates to the usb.rc files.

I thought I was able to make some progress. I unpacked the boot image, added sections with code like:

on property:sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
...etc.

in both init.tetra.usb.rc and init.usb.rc

I repacked boot image, reflashed, and then ran the following commands:

adb shell

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

After I did this, the watch displays 'connected as a media device', see attached image.

However, Windows is only recognizing ADB for the watch , see attached image 'CommandsAndWindowsDriverResult'. So I'm wondering if there's something different I need to be doing on the Windows side.

I'm attaching the usb.rc files in case you want to have a look, and are able to see anything glaringly wrong in the files - eg, I just set random productIDs - from what I'm seeing I don't think that should be an issue... I doubt that's the cause of the problem.

thanks,

Charlie
[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Holy crap!!!! It was a Windows issue. MTP is working fine now.

I reset the drivers for the Smartwatch 3 using the following steps-

In Devices and Printers, right clicked SmartWatch 3 and clicked Properties.

Selected Hardware

Selected SmartWatch 3, clicked Properties

On Driver tab, clicked Update drivers

Browse my computer...

Let me pick from a list of drivers ...

Unclicked 'Show Compatible Hardware'

Selected Manufacturer (Standard MTP-compliant devices) > Model: MTP Device

After adding this driver, Windows automatically detected it as an MTP device.

Happy days! No more rebooting into TWRP to copy music :)
