So my watch updated last night, and now I am trying to figure out all the changes.

I see that we have new gestures. I don't really use them, so Meh.

I also see that my battery projection jumped from 50 hours to 3 days, so that I freaking awesome if it pans out.

Anyone see anything else?

No more reboot watch.. Have to turn it off and on again.
[LG G Watch R] Hawke84:
Yeah I noticed that. Find this odd as to why they removed that
[LG G Watch R] matejilic:
I think Google's reason was: "Why? Because F**k you, thats why!" It also baffles me that they still haven't incorporated custom canned responses to declined phone calls; you are stuck with the default ones even though you set up custom ones on the phone - the reason was probaby the same as the reboot omisson.
[LG G Watch R] shobull.eu:
but how to make a factory reset now? there is no item in menu.
[LG G Watch R] jimbobtexas:
Just hold down the button until it buzzes and reboots. Hardware reboot.
[LG G Watch R] Hawkeye3:
Have you tried 'Unpair with phone'? To me that sounds like it would do a factory reset since an unpaired watch is basically useless.
[LG G Watch R] cholm:
Big change

Hi all,

Also got marshmallow, and biggest change for me is that it won't pair with phone. It comes up alright, and after accepting the Bluetooth code the phone wear app says "couldn't connect with ...". I tried factory resets (via unpair phone setting item), fresh install of wear phone app, and what not - still no luck.

Will try to downgrade and see if that helps.

Yours,

Christian
[LG G Watch R] gabrymr:
From what I understand factory reset is "Unpair with phone" now, as when you select it asks: "are you sure you want to unpair and factory reset watch.

Interesting thing, is the new Reminders app, doesn't seem to work it asks to update android wear on phone when I open it, but nothing happens.
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
I replied to you in the other thread but will post here as it may be useful to others..

I have the same issue. After OTA , i factory resetted and now it will not pair. I get "failed to pair...." I have tried multiple resets and cleared the data on the android wear app but no joy. I have gone back to 5.1.1 using the first post of the factory image thread. I was able to flash boot.img and system.img but recovery.img failed due to a partition error. Now everything is working again. Paired and synced on first attempt.

Downngrade wakes up watch

Hi there,

I also went back to 5.1.1 and things now work again - recovery flash also worked.

Seems the problem is really on the phone end. I have a Nexus 4 with "Fake stock" ROM (marshmellow). I could get the watch to pair with my Nexus 7 running stock 6.0..1 and that paired just fine. I also see other problems with the same Nexus 4 ROM with other bluetooth devices - e.g., my Jabra Tag II bluetooth audio RX/TX. I've posted on the ROM bug report forum.
[LG G Watch R] thETImo:
My watch gives an error about a muted microfone although the mike is enabled everywhere in the settings where possible.

" Microfone disabled, waiting for injected audio."

Any suggestions?

Edit: Also the screen goes off after some time although I haven't enabled it anywhere?

Maybe I'll just reset it...
[LG G Watch R] Spo0f:
The biggest change for me - now we have native vibration when the watch disconnects (on connects) ... it was about f'in time ...
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
I also have nexus 4 running Chroma MM. I will wait for OTA again and this time I wont factory reset to see how it goes
[LG G Watch R] sotsoguk:
Manually updated mine to 6.0.1 using adb and now my iPhone (9.3 beta3 and latest android wear app) constantly looses connection. Have to pair as new device, restarting phone and/ or watch won't help.

Does anybody experience the same?

Might have to go back to 5.1.1 ...

[LG G Watch R] ChrisM75:
Hmm, well thats a disappointing. The removal of the reboot and reset is moronic and the new gestures are useless.

For the most part I cant get them to work, and even if I could why would I want to look like I was a nutter because I was randomly flapping my arm around trying (usually unsuccessfully) to control my damn watch?
[LG G Watch R] justyourimage:

[LG G Watch R] SharpSA:
Which 5.1.1 is better?
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
I used the one at the top of the list. I don't know what the differences are between 5.1.1 versions
[LG G Watch R] cdaly1970:
I came across one usual feature for me, the ability to keep WiFi on all the time. Can now set WiFi to never power save.
[LG G Watch R] igni.selvaraj:
i would definitely recommend upgrade.

After upgrade, reset your watch and that all you need.

I am using marshmallow 6.0.1 and i am not facing any problems.

And the battery seems to be lasting even more than 2 days with day today use.

Go for it! and if you also have a mobile with 6.0.1 then thats the best.

I am using LG g watch r + nexus 6P
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
So OTA arrived again and watch is useless again. Guess I'll have flash 5.1.1 to the watch again and find a way to disable the OTA. I don't intend to flash stock lollipop to my Nexus 4 as it gave too many problems.
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
I've got the same problems with MM on the GWR and my Nexus 4 (with MM Chroma), watch isn't usable. I tried the new google play service with several combinations of resets of Watch and wear app,but nothing helped!
[LG G Watch R] sunnnny:
Hello!

Also running 6.0.1 and iPhone 9.3 beta3 - no issues. Seems to be more stable than with 5.1.1 for me.

But: Prior to update, I did remove android wear app and made a factory reset on the watch before sideloading the update file (was trying to force OTA but without success).

Maybe this made the difference...
[LG G Watch R] sotsoguk:
Thanx for your report. I've flashed 5.1.1 again but still losing connection after an hour or so. Sometimes the iPhone wants to reenter the Bluetooth pairing code.

Tried factory reset and re-installing wear app, but that hasn't solved the connection issues.

Will flash 6.0.1 again ...

[LG G Watch R] SharpSA:
OK. And how can I enter recovery mode to flash it? How can I downgrade? Is everywhere a step by step writing for beginners? Because until 5.1.1 my watch did understand my language everywhere. Now in 6.0 just English is working...

While the LG Logo at boot is on screen, swipe from left upper side to right lower side to enter bootloader. To flash factory image use fastboot commands.
[LG G Watch R] tekkneke:
Nm, found the answer to my question.... disregard
[LG G Watch R] sotsoguk:
6.0.1 is still not working here. I've flashed 6.0.1 via adb, performed factory reset / cache wipe, re-installed android wear iOS app. It only works as long as the watch is connected to the iPhone. If connection is lost (out of Bluetooth range), it never reconnects.

Don't know what to do now, as mentioned above i tried 5.1.1 & 6.0.1 with a clean iOS app install and factory resetted watch, but once the connection is lost i can never re-establish the connection. Until 6.0.1, i never had any problems with LG Watch R and iPhone 6+. But now, even 5.1.1. isn't working anymore :mad::confused:
[LG G Watch R] SharpSA:
I did reset after all update. On 6.0 my language's voice recognition is not working everywhere just in goggle search (is support everywhere to write this them?), but on 5.1.1 is working everywhere. So I flashed back 5.1.1 and everything ok. Of course I've got system update downloaded...
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
After another automatic update and the bluetooth connection problem, i just flashed this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65479948&postcount=1081 stock rom on G Watch and latest stock rom (LL 5.1.1) on my Nexus4 and the problems are gone! :o Now I will try pure nexus rom (MM 6.0.1) :p
[LG G Watch R] optimus crime:
I was on the LeeDroid 1.3 rom so I flashed back to 5.1.1. factory images and let the watch grab the OTA

Everything is working fine on 6.0.1 however my watch has become very sluggish and battery life is wayy worse now... (17 hours on a full charge... I was getting near 48 hours before)

Wonder if I didn't do something right when I flashed back to 5.1.1? I did a factory reset through TWRP before I flashed back to stock which I believe reset the davlik and cache correct?
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
I would be interested to hear your results using the pure Nexus Rom. Would you mind to post here if you get the chance.

Thanks
[LG G Watch R] SharpSA:
Do factory reset after OTA 6.0.1 update.

What was LeeDroid 1.3 like? Better battery, etc?

Interested thing: as I wrote I've flashed back 5.1.1 but heartbeat sensor didn't work... After OTA 6.0.1 update again sensor is working well just my language's voice recognition is not working on 6.0.1... :mad:

Yesterday I did chat with google support with this issue. I hope in next update will solve problem...
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
It didn't work with pure rom. I talked with LG about the problem, the support said, it sounds like a hardware problem, i should send the watch to LG.

Finally i will update the watch for a last time and try to connect it with my untouched Nexus7 on MM. If this will not work, it's LGs turn to make me happy.
[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
I have my doubts about a hardware problem as it works fine on 5.1.1. My guess is that there is an unknown bug in MM Nexus 4 Custom Roms when trying to connect to Watch 6.0.1

However, I am delighted to be proven wrong, I would like hear if anybody has successfully paired one of these MM Nexus 4 Roms with watch 6.0.1.

Thanks
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
Yes, it's obvious no hardware problem of the watch. The Nexus7 on stock is working great.
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
New Post, new rom, new experience. I just tried BeanStalk 6.08 (CM based) and it works! Even after some reboots the watch keeps bluetooth connnection.

Over in the Urbane watch forum, there are reports of success with CM13 also
[LG G Watch R] optimus crime:
LeeDroid uses the IntersectRaven kernel which I believe is the performance booster. He then basically ports the Urbane rom to the GWR and applied WiFi when LG did not officially support it. I like the rom a lot... I have been using it for almost a year. It is fast, smooth and I was averaging over 48 hours with a tamed ambient mode. He is working on a Marshmallow update and I will be using that once it becomes available so I may just end up dealing with this lack luster performance until then.

Gestures, voice, sensors, etc.. all seem to working perfect however.

I am paired to a Nexus 5 running the February 6.0.1 images (info in sig)
[LG G Watch R] oleee:
That's right. I just saw the thread too. But all problems are combined with Nexus4 and AOSP based roms?

How to disable automatic update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1?

[LG G Watch R] mhacin:
As my watch only seems to try to update while on the cradle, I just disconnect from my phone when I charge the watch.

that works, but you have to disable watch wifi also.

It seems to be the only way to do the trick, but for 5.1.1 I neither test it by myself nor see any success reports.

Yes correct. But intersectRaven don't announce his plans for GWR 6.0.1 custom kernel. :( And it's not possible to run stock 6.0.1 with current intersectRaven's kernel (20160202_17XX) because it lacks squashfs support.

BTW, it's possible to enable second core in 6.0.1 stock boot.img and got perfomace boost at the expence of some buttery drain.

Since the update , the watch is always disconnecting from phone ! it's really annoying.

How can downgrade with an official rom ?
[LG G Watch R] ebustelo:
I had problems with my nexus 4, MM Chroma and my lg watch r after the last update. They did not paired at all.

Problem solved by moving to Resurrection Remix ROM, also MM.

I'm not 100% sure if the problem was the ROM itself or the gapps (Must-be initially, open gapps now).

Resurrection Remix is CM based, not AOSP like Chroma.
[LG G Watch R] lion567:
You can reflash stock 5.1.1 images via fastboot if your watches bootloader is unlocked.

Stock images are here http://intersectraven.net/stock/G Watch R/ or here http://xdaforums.com/g-watch-r/development/stock-boot-recovery-g-watch-r-t2956964

Images are the same for both, but XDA thread is a bit more informative - there is a FAQ in second post with flashing instructions.
[LG G Watch R] achelbia:
Thanks, but my boot is locked :-S
[LG G Watch R] lion567:
Then you can unlock it, or find TWRP 3.0 for GWR with support for system.img flashing. Such support was added to TWRP 3.0, but official TWRP 3.0 lenok build lacks flashable flag for system partiton in recovery.fstab.
[LG G Watch R] sotsoguk:
My problem seems to be related to iOS and not Android Wear. Had flashed every possible Rom for my G Watch R (even the Urbane Port), and every time the connection is lost, i had to factory reset the device. Just connected the Watch to my Nexus 7 (2013), and everything works as expected. Tried it with iOS 9.3 B3 & B4, but no success.
[LG G Watch R] sotsoguk:
Another update form my never-ending problem story with LG Watch R and iOS after the 6.0.1 Update.

All had been fine using LeeDroid's Urbane Port (1.3) and iOS 9.3b4. But then the System Update Notification on my Watch appeared. Obviously, using LeeDroid, i can not update. And then i made the mistake of trying to flash 6.0.1 OTA Rom again. And still, the same problem as previously, the watch would not reconnect after having lost the connection.

I've updated my iP6+ to the latest beta (9.3b6) and am now flashing LeeDroid again..

Does anybody else have problems with Android Wear 1.4 (6.0.1) and iOS? I think it has to be related to iOS, since my Nexus 7 (2013) running latest stock rom does connect just fine to my LG Watch R, no matter if LeeDroid or Original Marshmallow Rom.
[LG G Watch R] wapster182:
iOS user here, hello. I have the exact same problem since the update. Forced the OTA and now after initial setup i cannot reconnect to my watch, i have to wipe all data and then it works for once. But if i disconnect i cannot reconnect, really annoying!

I guess they have to update the Android Wear App to solve this problem.

iOS 9.3.1 with iPhone 5s.
[LG G Watch R] speedyink:
Anyone notice that when the screen is in always on mode it likes to shut itself off now? It used to be the screen would shut off if I put the watch down after some time, but it seems they've made it way more sensitive. Now the screen will turn off while I'm at work, a place where I'm always moving and never sitting. It's annoying as hell, since this worked awesome before, and the whole point of the always on screen is that it's there when you need it.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Yep ... I face exactly the same problem. I wish there is a switch to turn off the "power saving" feature (it is not really saving much, it is just annoying).
[Android Head-Units] sansjunk:
I was considering this HU for my 2016 VW Polo since I don't care much about having a DVD slot. The title for this HU says DVD but it doesn't sport a drive. Though the spec seems good (RK3188) and the price isn't much either I didn't find any reviews or information about this HU on XDA (or outside).

There are couple of places this is being sold from Ali express to GearBest and also on their own website.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this one? Specifically I was looking for community support (root, custom firmware). Since this sports a RK3188 chip can other ROMs be used on this? Also the HU has a very thin form factor (compared to other HUs) - so would heat be an issue?
[Android Head-Units] cardio77:
Who knows?

It doesn't have a volume control knob, if you can live with that. Personally, on screen adjustments for volume, track selection, "back," and on/off is very unhandy and annoying. You can't just reach up and adjust it with out looking. Also the volume steps of the touch controls are not always small enough to set a precise level. These units, with no US contacts or service, are a pain if you need something. Carjoying is in the US and quite responsive. Updates are also made.....who knows about those other relatively unknown products. They may never update and may no work with other software. I have never seen a 9" screen wonder if the thin bezel is just a half inch smaller and uncovering the edges of an 8" panel. This is just conjecture but perhaps worth considering.
[Android Head-Units] sansjunk:
Thanks for the response. I ended up placing an order for this unit instead. I dropped the other one mainly due to there being hardly any orders and reviews. I also did not get any proper responses from the sellers regarding that unit - probably since its new and they are themselves unaware of its features/fit. I agree about the support issues but I also had a tight budget and as long as it works fine :fingers-crossed: I should be OK. Importing these into India attracts a sizable customs duty :( The unit I bought costed me about $190 shipped via FedEx so I expect the customs would be proportionately lower.

Regarding the volume I have steering wheel controls which should serve the purpose of physical buttons. Though I agree that having a knob is more convenient I also kind of like the flush surface of these full touch units - lesser issues of dust settling.

I will post an update here once I get the unit and install it. BTW the reviews for this on AliExpress are excellent - would love to hear from anyone already owning this. I asked the seller about rooting and custom firmware (kind of essential for android units) but didn't hear anything positive :( This lack of support and the fact that this is an AllWinner solution (R16 QuadCore Cortex A7) were the only two drawbacks I saw in it (given its price).

How to root Junsun Android 4.4.4

I purchased this unit also from gearbest and like some things about it, but question other things.

The good:

1. The unit is ridiculously thin for a car stereo. There is no CD/DVD player

2. Sound is actually decent. Little difference from the stock unit

3. The home page with rotating icons is cool and different. I can also put a live wallpaper behind it

4. Mirroring app works ok, but I'd rather tether.

5. I can play videos and music on a USB flash drive

The bad:

1. I can't launch other apps and listen to music at the same time. (i.e. when I load Google Maps, radio stops)

2. No native capability to bluetooth tether. USB tethering with EasyTether also didn't work.

3. There are no microsd inputs like other Chinese Android units I've see thus far. I can connect a USB drive to 2 available connectors routed from the back of the unit. This isn't necessarily bad. Just requires different process for rooting that's TBD.

4. Instructions are only in chinese. Don't know who really makes this device, or how to get their technical support. So far, gearbest has provided some answers, but they're far from accurate!

So that said, I'd like to root and install some different apps and drivers that might make USB or bluetooth tethering possible. And that might allow me to listen to radio or USB music or Pandora while I have something else like Torque or Waze running.

Here are settings from the unit:

OS Version/Build Version: JAX1602191130G-WQ-16EN

MCU Version: 201512161416-SLX7786-GEN

CPU Model: RKPX3

Android: 4.4.4

There is also a 'system' page, where I can go to advanced, press 1234 as the password (found it through trial and error) . A screen is then available to upgrade MCU or firmware. However, I don't know where the files should be placed for this screen to register them.

Any pointers on process to root this and/or install something like Malaysk Firmware? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] sansjunk:
Congratulations! Like I said I dropped the idea of buying this due to reasons mentioned above.

This is really bad since it defeats the whole purpose of an Android-based HU. Are you using the stock music app or trying something you installed?

I think all these units restrict the bluetooth to the MCU and is generally not available to other apps. Though I am not sure how Torque works.

I think you mean micro-USB and not micro-SD? I too have the same issue with my unit. I don't know how to connect it to the PC.

This is a problem with most Chinese purchases - informed support is almost non-existent. However since you have an RK3188 based unit I think some of the support threads here may match your unit (at least partially). First try to get into the extra setting menu using the passwords given in the RK3188 threads and rooting as well. You need to find the thread that matches best to your unit/firmware based on trying out the various settings/tweaks. Don't flash anything till you are certain you are in the correct support thread. All the best!
[Android Head-Units] VladVell:
I am sure that this is some soft/firmware restriction. Android 4.4 has a native support of multitasking, so it should be by default in any of core versions of this OS. Main problem that I didn't find any resources where this issue was resolved.
[Android Head-Units] cardio77:
Mine will !

From home screen touch Radio icon, then from Radio app touch home icon on top left, back to home, start app you want. Radio continues on my radio from CarJoying. Works fine;
[Android Head-Units] VladVell:
If it was so easy... )) On this HU someone just ****ed up with firmware configuration... I'll try to fix it .... well on my free time. Luck for us it's an opensource os
[Android Head-Units] sansjunk:
This is really awful - how can they sell a "Android" HU with such limitation? You should give the seller an earful and a bad review for the unit so they are forced to fix it!

I bought this device.

The menu is exactly the same, firmware is the same: JAX1603281325G-WQ-16EN.

There's a microSD slot on the front panel.

MCU version: 201601251011-SLX7786-GEN .

Built-in player and radio can not work in the background, and this is the biggest trouble. There is not a full solution is to install third - party players who know how to work in the background, for example: BlackPlayer. But unfortunately, in third-party players do not switch tracks from the steering buttons. Adjust the volume and MUTE works as it should, because these buttons are programmed for the entire system. I liked that as a quick call navigation, you can assign any button on the steering wheel and choose any app.

The unit is decent, especially for the price. But such silly mistake with a built-in player and radio can wipe out all the pluses. Wrote to the seller, promised to talk to the engineer, perhaps
[Android Head-Units] poseidonsf:
Typo?

Is that a typo? There is NO microSD slot on this unit. You can connect a USB Flash Drive to the USB connections on the back of the unit though.
