I've installed the latest developer preview and have it installed, but I can't get passed the bluetooth pairing stage. I'm trying to pair it to an iPhone 7. The phone can see the watch but the Android Wear app is stuck at "Connecting to HUAWEI WATCH..." Has anyone had any luck with pairing this build with an iPhone?
[Huawei Watch] Harshpatil:
Not able to go past 'Checking for updates...' screen after updating to AW 2.0 preview 4, tried restarting both device, reset to factory on watch and reinstalling Android wear on phone.
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
hmm, maybe it hangs at trying to find the server? It took a while on mine. Try later or play with wifi/cellular settings is what I'd try next.
[Huawei Watch] lupin87:

same here !

#edit : Factory reset watch and pair again solved problem of "Checking for update"
[Huawei Watch] Harshpatil:
Nvm got it through but don't know how.
[Huawei Watch] SomeGuyInOz:
How long did yours take to move past "Checking for updates"? Mine has been sitting there for about 10 minutes so far...

(The boot time was slow, too, I guess. It took the watch at least 5-6 minutes to fully boot)

Edit: I finally got it to go past "Checking for updates..." I don't know if it made a difference, but I turned off my data (wifi) during that part of the process, then turned it back on at the Google Accounts setup screen on my Android phone. It still took around 4-5 minutes, though.
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
Definitely not more than 10minutes. I'd try to reboot both phone and watch.
[Huawei Watch] lyall29:
Every time I delete an email or send a message, the brightness adjustment screen pops up and the screen dims. Can someone else try replying to a message and see if the brightness adjustment screen pops up?

Edit...I rebooted the watch and now the brightness adjustment screen doesn't pop up.
[Huawei Watch] eduardozeassesme:
I love Android 7.1.1 on my watch, is fast super fast
[Huawei Watch] Crsdr37:
Setup was flawless checking for updates maybe 20 seconds. Super smooth voice controls are working. Theater mode is back but tucked in brightness settings. Love the way the app store works. Overall very impressed
[Huawei Watch] pesaroso:
Yea, the initial setup took some time for me as well, but I did as a previous user mentioned here; I disabled wifi and used my data connection instead, worked on the first try :)
[Huawei Watch] andersomel:
Still on Checking for updates...

I turn off wifi on watch and phone, but can't get past Checking for updates...
[Huawei Watch] ChemoNL:
Took me 20 sec while I was connected to WiFi. I have resetted my phone and the watch after installing the preview.
[Huawei Watch] quantan:
Can anyone connect preview 4 to iPhone? So sad that I cannot do it.
[Huawei Watch] Mimmo2377:
wow work fine for mee with mi5 and official cm14.1 !
[Huawei Watch] Edlnet:
Android Wear 2.0 Prev. 4 works great!!! I love it :)
[Huawei Watch] SomeGuyInOz:
Anyone have any luck pairing AW2.0 DP4 with an iPhone? I've tried on both my iPhone 7 and my wife's iPhone 6 and neither would pair. So either it's something specific about my watch or it can't pair with an iPhone.

Edit: Actually, I just read that the iOS Android Wear app is not yet compatible with AW2.0. Hopefully a compatible version will be released in the near future...
[Huawei Watch] pialletti:
Hello. can someone post a step by step guide to install wear preview 4? thank you
[Huawei Watch] ikenvape:
Right here ?

https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html#set_up_a_watch
[Huawei Watch] Mimmo2377:
Its very easy just boot your watch in to bootloader mode and with your computer unzip image-sturgeon-NVF41U.zip and click flash-all.bat

Wow this new update is solid! Super fast and fluid and the play store works so. Much better! Swipe to go back is back!
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Solid step forward in terms of performance and interface.

How's the battery working out for you all? Mine seems to be draining quicker than DP3 - still too early to conclude much though.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Is anyone else not able to access Rootjunky's site: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=H...Watch/Firmware? I keep getting errors or refusals. I rather use his methodology, but may have to resort to the developers website instructions.
[Huawei Watch] ChemoNL:
Why won't you use the official flashing instructions?
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
because his are just easier to use, that's all.
[Huawei Watch] ChemoNL:
Please tell me what is easier than two console commands?

- adb reboot bootloader

- ./flash-all.sh
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
I'm sorry, it is offensive that I want to use his files? They have those two console commands automated. And files are extracted using unzip. I have to get 7-zip to extract them on windows.
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
I'm of the mind that as long as you fully understand the terminal commands and can use them then... Use whatever tools you want. I like to be in full control but that's just me
[Huawei Watch] Vispen74:
Same here. My watch died at lunchtime, it normally lasts for the hole day without problem. Charging in evening.

[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Thanks for the confirmation. Mine has been draining over 10% an hour with minimal usage so far.
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
Idk what's going on on you watches but mine is doing awesome and I have notifications galore! Check it
[Huawei Watch] ChemoNL:
Nothing offensive I was just curious.
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Must be an app that I have installed that you don't?
[Huawei Watch] thklinge:
No issues here. Preview 4 is great!
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
Maybe but the fact that that nougat does not show you exactly what is running anymore is an issue... I even keep my brightness on full and get constant notifications. Screen lights up and vibrates
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Yeah, that's less than helpful. Maybe it was a bad flash - I'll give a reset a try.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
No worries
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
I actually have great battery life so far. 75% at 4pm after getting up at 6am. Using pujie black face.
[Huawei Watch] JimSmith94:
ADB debugging is on and commands adb devices and adb reboot bootloader work from my PC, but fastboot devices doesn't return anything, so of course flash-all just says waiting for device.

I'm using Minimal ADB Fastboot V1.4.1 from October 20, 2016. Is there another version I should be using?

Are there newer Google USB drivers than the 2014 ones I got it from here? https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

This is on Windows 10 64 bit if that matters.
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Silly suggestion that you've probably already tried, but unplug and replug when you're at the bootloader.
[Huawei Watch] PandaKiller:
I always have this problem and what I do is:

- Go to Windows device manager

- find the Android device

- right click an selected update driver

- do the procedure to install the drivers manually

- when the list of drivers appear, select the one that says fastboot

- and done!
[Huawei Watch] JimSmith94:
Thanks, but that didn't change anything.

Bingo, that did it, thanks! Mine was listed in Device Manager as a Kedacom USB device! Changing it to Google's Fastboot interface fixed it immediately!
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Get to bootloader manually, and when you get the <waiting for device> use the bootloader menu and the button to reboot bootloader. Also, I use the full ADB SDK and there have been frequent platform-tools updates.

The ADB SDK also updates USB drivers but I have seen no changes for months. I'm on Win 7, but I've seen many people having trouble on Win 10, so new USB drivers might be needed.

And now, this release if f***n SWEET! I'm excited for the final AW 2.0 release (and maybe a Google watch).
[Huawei Watch] JimSmith94:
Thanks my friend, but PandaKiller's tip worked for me. I have no idea how or why it got detected as a Kedacom device in bootloader or even what that is, but hopefully between these two fixes, others will be helped too.

My watch is booting now and I can't wait to try out the new software!
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Just as an update to myself, my battery issues went away after I flashed again. So it appears to be an isolated issue.
[Huawei Watch] Vispen74:
Ok, what apps are you using? I have these installed on the watch:

Google Fit

Hangouts

Calculator

Google Keep

Google Maps

Google messenger

Play music

Recorder

Shazam

Skymaster

SleepWear (Sleep as Android)

Spotify

WearTasker

I had no battery related problems with these on DP3.

[Huawei Watch] dondavis007:
I've read that sleep as... can be a drainer. Upgraded to dp4 a couple of minutes ago and will notice any difference in battery life tomorrow I imagine.

[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
Please make a proper review! I'm very curious to hear how watch work with this release. The background on notification remain same in random colors or back to photos like a.w.1? How respond physical button now on 1 click or hold? How is the app drawer a.w. 2 style? How are typing reply and keyboard?The screen hand writing is it still there? Can we reply to wattapp and telegram?
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
Do you guys know an app launcher that works for the preview 4? I love having the swipe to dismiss back but pressing the power button each time to open the app drawer is a pain.
[Huawei Watch] elroy944:
Anyone got whatsapp working on preview 4 through google now? Google now says "whatsapp not installed or has to be updated" I'm using latest version whatsapp...
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
I installed DP4 last night flawlessly using the instructions on the developers site. DP4 is what AW should have been. I'm glad I bypassed DP3 (with all the issues that were posted here). Now if I could just figure out how to consistently change the watch face by pressing -- it's so quick that once I press, it immediately goes to the setting for the current watch face. I know, I can just go to my phone, but would really like to just do it on my watch.
[Huawei Watch] ChemoNL:
Swipe left or right on your watch face to change it
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Thanks, I just figured that out. Was used to DP2. DP4 is awesome!!!
[Huawei Watch] Vispen74:
Ok, thanks!

I will uninstall it and see if the Sleep app is the energy thief.

[Huawei Watch] ewalk4866:
maybe you check the watches play store and make sure it installed. last night i noticed that some app didnt install and thats how i got them to work. just crazy
[Huawei Watch] elroy944:
I don't see whatsapp in the playstore (wear) it's only on my phone
[Huawei Watch] pdubcramp:
Don't think WhatsApp has ever had a micro apk for Wear. So that shouldn't be the cause.
[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
Anyone manage to install watchmaker premium on last update android 2.0.?
[Huawei Watch] thklinge:
Sure, it was on the bottom of the list in play store on the watch.
[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
Ok. Manage to fix that problem. Have another one. How do I change background for notification. It alwais stay grey. Looks ugly. I want var colors or blue
[Huawei Watch] friguy3:
So coming from stock, never using a preview, noticed a few things. First, no phone call notifications? Anyone else? And notification cards, guess thats gone? Either you make it so it always is full until you swipe away or it goes away after a few seconds and then theres no visual reminder you have a notification. The notifications do seem to be a little quicker though than stock, so thats a nice plus.

Edit-phone calls seem to be working
[Huawei Watch] vwlover69:
I love this UI, but why don't I get notified on screen any more? I never feel the vibration, and have to open the messenger app to see any recieved messages. Anyone else having this problem?
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
No mine is all good. Did you dirty flash or did you re setup as new?

What always works for me is flashing the non DP image. Reset up watch completely using that. Then dirty flash the DP4 over that.
[Huawei Watch] Qliratu:
Can you tell us how it looks for you?

I receive a notification, and after 5 seconds it's gone.

In the settings i can set an option to make them permanent. But now they are full screen (might be normal).

I too had issues on previous builds with sleep app and never used it since.

these are the apps on my watch that I installed:

File Boss

Google Maps

Google Messenger

MyRadar

Shazam

TripAdvisor

OneNote

Outlook

Skype

American Airlines

Calculator

Google Fit

Stopwatch

So far battery life is better than on anything I tried before (stock, custom and DP). I end up with 75% in the evening with a 6am start.
[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
I install the last update twice and i have 2 problems. One, lack of background in notifications. Always grey. What should I do you have some color. 2. Where the answer button when someone calling. There is only one reject button.
[Huawei Watch] sp5it:
Same here.

Mike
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Something interesting.

If you have Wirst Gestures on and only the watch face showing, a rapid shake back and forth opens the launcher screen. Normally it dismisses any notification showing.
[Huawei Watch] 1112ee:
I don't know if anyone else has said this but my watch was able to re-pair itself to my phone after a clean rom flash on my phone. I just had to confirm on each device
[Huawei Watch] Vispen74:
Do you have the display at "always on"? I have. Yesterday my battery lasts longer, but not as good as yours. I had 30% at bedtime, after I full charge before work.

Thanks for the list!

All notifications works, but Whatsapp not. Anyone have the same problem?

I dislike the new staying full screen notifications, an Android 1.5 the were displayed only on the bottom over the watchface - was much better in my opinion.

Why background color is alwais the same? I don't like that. Is empty ugly without colors and no style. Is this the new android wear style now?

[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
I dont think so. My phone is root. So I ask again. Is there a way to change background notification or this is the new android wear no card no color just stock grey.
[Huawei Watch] acultr:
I mean it's stock gray
[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
Ok. Do my review on short for android wear 2.0 last p4.

Pro. I really like os is very fast compare to 1.5. Side button open apps, back swipe is back, battery is good, is stable.

What I don't like is style notification background is ugly on stock grey. What are google thinking about when eliminate card with picture or var colors to replace with empty grey card? Is so ugly and no style.

I don't have answer button or option when calling and I don't have Bluetooth audio a activated. I liked posibilitie to answer from watch and talk to phone.

So google, bring back the awesome card stay on the side button as it is, bring back notification on 1.5. Stay with reply message on handrighting or swipe. Play store is annoying and slow. Bring back complication in menu for every watchface

For now I stay with custom Rom on 1.5. Nega lite is very good
[Huawei Watch] amin318:
I strongly recommend testing Android wear 2 preview 4

U can have both wear play store apps and those already installed in phone
[Huawei Watch] JimSmith94:
I like this preview too and the concept of a play store on the watch. However, I wish there was a way to automatically install the existing apps on my phone like the older versions did. It took quite a while to scroll through the list an manually install each one.
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
I think this is way better because watch setup took forever before...

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Coolest detail of the new firmware is when you press the button the app drawer expands right from where the button is. Just a cool little touch
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
Never noticed that until your post :)
[Huawei Watch] undrwater:
Couple of questions:

How can I tell which version of the preview I have?

The one I'm running is asking me to set up "Google Assistant", but my phone is running MM (no assistant). Is there a workaround?

I attempted to search the thread, but found nothing related.

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
1) Build Number under Settings/System/About. DP4 is NVF41U

2) not sure. The only thing I had to setup were my Google accounts from the phone to the watch
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
Agree with everything you said except that:

1. I have answer button

2. Bluetooth audio works

Maybe you need to try again.
[Huawei Watch] smentoma:
Sorry. I think you dont understand. I dont have the answare button when the audio is not active when audio is on, the answere button is there. The bluettoth audio works for me too. But on 1.5 works without audio on. A very good app that I recomand is hand dealer. Log, fav contacts, dealer and contacts with just a swipe. The lack of background is a break dealer for me. I love google card on notification.
[Huawei Watch] Vispen74:
No action on tilt did it! Now the battery life is better than ever!

[Huawei Watch] friguy3:
So still getting used to the swipe and tap for notifications. I have to tap a notification, then swipe to open it then swipe back, then swipe away. I'm swiping when I should be tapping.

"Play phone audio on watch" borked my phone audio. I clicked it on, and then there was no way to use my phone for phone calls. I couldn't hear them talking and they couldn't hear me no matter what.
[Huawei Watch] pablo71:
Google, if you're reading this, you NEED spoken search results and you NEED spoken notifications (for selected contacts) and you NEED to have watch READ YOU news, or info via tts ... people are forgetting their smartwatches in the couch cushions for weeks while they engage in CONVERSATIONAL COMPUTING with Alexa or Google Home. (I have all these functions already with tasker+wearshell+rooted-phone/watch - they are the only things my watch is useful for, but of course i have a silent mode toggle icon on my watch face).

Google, I think the only REAL 'smart'watch is what I described in the last paragraph ... so while news websites declare smartwatches dead, why don't you show them that they actually JUST ARRIVED

... (just take the missing files from Google Home and shove them into android wear 2.0 with a cutesy smiley tutorial - people will love it and you'll make an extra $8Billion, and throw in some animated talking/smiling happy watchfaces for an extra $3Billion in revenue)
[Huawei Watch] shamelin73:
I just wish there was a way to do this like the Nexus beta program.

Is there? Not trying to sound like a noob but didn't see anything searching google.
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
That's exactly all I need for my watch. Google seems listening. Well, they listen, even if our devices' screen are off. [emoji1]
[Huawei Watch] H00pyFr00d:
I quite like the changes in Android Wear 2.0. The biggest problem I have (apart from all the daft swipe>tap>swipe) stuff is missing notifications. Each time I get a WhatsApp for instance, it vibrates my watch and pops up on the screen for 5 seconds. The vibration is really low and there's no sound so inevitably I miss the notification. Is there any way of turning sound on or increasing the vibe? Thanks.
[Huawei Watch] amin318:
What's no action on tilt?
[Huawei Watch] kajos:
Display control via tilt

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/disable-tilt-to-wake-on-android-wear/

So you disable Tilt to Wake and press the button every time you want to interact with the watch?
[Huawei Watch] kajos:
a tap on the display is enough for start interacting

I'm liking DP4 so far, but there seems to be some lack of communication between the watch and the phone. Specifically, when I select DND on my watch, it has no effect on my phone, and vice versa.
