Read this please. You need to give it at least 4-5 days to stabilize.

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/general/bad-battery-life-read-factory-reset-t3474948

It takes me 4-5 days for battery to stabilize after all updates are synced. Right after install / factory reset, I get maybe 6-8 hours battery. After 4-5 days I get about 28-30 hours between charges (ambient on, gestures on, watch is used 24/7, Google Fit tracking all day, Sleep as Android tracking at night). I charge in the morning while showering every couple days.
[Huawei Watch] Johan1976:
Thanks for the tip. I will let it be for a few days and then i will complain again if needed ☺️

How is wifi supposed to work anyway? It is never connected until I go into settings

Then it suddenly connects. Is it only supposed to connect if it drops bluetooth connection?

For what its worth, I flashed last night and today I had it with me for almost 13 hours and I only burned through 23%. I left WiFi and BT on but I do turn off the screen.

Also, some folks reported that battery life is terrible when tilt-to-wake is turned on. Try without that if you haven't yet.
[Huawei Watch] cd993:
Agreed. I used to have around 78% left at the end of work (9-5 day) with tilt to wake, now I still have around 85% some days with always on! Very happy with the battery life of this watch
[Huawei Watch] Johan1976:
I was happy with battery life on 1.5. Same result as you described. With same settings on 2.0 DP5 my battery is a joke ?

[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Installing now. I'm so pissed at Google and Huawei ?
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Ok, now I understand why Huawei doesn't release the update.

The whole OS is half-baked. It's meant to be optimized for round watches, right? But it's not. Only the app drawer is. All the other google apps are still cut off or text is only in the middle - not form one side to another.

Apps refuse to download very often, Google Play crashed 12 times in the last hour. And in that time it used 52% of my battery. IN ONE HOUR!

The Google Play store is very limited, most apps are not fully compatible with 2.0 - watch faces do not use complications, Spotify doesn't let you listen on your device. Or listen to music at all - they still haven't fixed "Connection failed" problem.

All the apps that had pitch black background, you know, optimized for wearables, now have light gray background.

Now some apps' data doesn't sync with your phone. These are the apps that does not sync for me: all the "appfour" apps (Browser, photos, videos etc.), calculator (it's color), facer (all the watch faces). Apps that sync: Google Keep. Only 1 app does sync.

After first installing, I had to wait for half an hour on "Checking for updates" screen. Then I realized something was odd, so I googled this problem. Hundreds of other people who have installed this update were stuck on that screen, some even tried reflashing and it didn't help. BTW, if you are wondering, the solution is to clear cache and data on your Android Wear app on the phone.

Google Assistant doesn't talk back, it only has one language - English, and there is no way of disabling it.

Keyboard only works on Google apps - you still can't reply to facebook messages on your watch.

And don't get me started on gestures - swiping left previously used to open more information about the notification - now it dismisses it... Swiping right dismisses it as well... Notifications do not peak out from the bottom even if you set it to be fullscreen (you have 3 options - fullscreen notifications (doesn't work), no notifications or remove notifications after 5 second. So no cards preview). On the watchface swiping left would open app drawer - now it opens watch faces list so you could change it... No, not long pressing on it. Long press now means watch face settings (if the watchface has it). Swiping right on the watchface also opens watch faces list. Cooooooolll... This is what we all wanted... Holding power button opens drawer now. Seems a bit worse but what's the big deal you ask? Holding half a second too long opens Google assistant that you can not disable. Do you remember theater mode with two button presses? Now it's app drawer. Again.

I predict that to fix all these thing would take 6 more months unless you want this garbage OS.
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
DAE have Google Play installed failed error every time you try to install any app?
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
This is the new look of AW in v2.0. But it is just DP5. I have it on one of my HW1 and I like it. It does take getting used to. If you think this is bad, you should've seen DP2 or DP3, DP5 is milestones ahead IMHO. I am getting the LG Watch Sport with official AW 2.0 and will report back. The HW1 hardware was not designed out of the box for AW 2.0 and I think it is why many people dislike it on the watch. It's a shame Huawei did take the HW1 and add the necessary hardware instead of downsizing the screen on the HW2 and making it a sports watch. I chose the LGWS over it for the screen size, having "older" eyes.
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
You should correct your last statement to read

"I predict that to fix all these thing would take 6 more months unless I want this garbage OS."

not everybody has these issues. Of course it would be stupid of me continuing to use a garbage OS that had all these issues. But my watch is perfectly fine with the latest DP. I also realize that if there are problems with the DP that I signed up for problems and that I should report them - I surely hope you are doing that outside of this forum.

hope the problems with your watch will get solved soon.

cheers

I'm on latest DP on Huawei Watch. It works better than ever. No issues

no notifications with nougat phone

AW 2 DP 5

Droid Turbo 6.0

GS4 5.1

Nexus 5X 7.1

I installed 2.0 DP5 with my Droid Turbo (Marshmallow) and notifications worked fine. Unfortunately dropped the Turbo. Replaced it initially with an old Galaxy S4 (5.1); notifications worked fine.

I just got a Nexus 5X (7.1). Reset the watch, connected it to the 5X. I get no notifications (calendar, text).

- I enabled all permissions.

- The watch is connected. Contacts, agenda, Google Assistant work fine.

- Watchmaker works fine.

- I can send a text using Google Assistant.

Can anyone else confirm that notifications don't work on DP5 connected to a Nougat phone?

Also,

- Is there an AW messenger app?

DP5 doesn't come with one.

- What happened to Coffee?

I can't find it in the Play store
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Works for me just fine paired to a Nexus 6 7.1.1 Nougat.

You need to install apps on the watch using the Play Store on the watch. It will prompt for most apps already on the phone.

Both Google Messenger (phone number) and Hangouts (Google Voice number) work for me.
[Huawei Watch] mageus:
Yes, I known that. That's the other thing. I can't find certain apps on the watch's Play Store, such as Keep or Hangouts. Even though I have them installed on the phone. And I didn't get prompted to install them, even though they are on the phone.

I installed Messages on the watch, and now it's receiving text notifications. Looks like the DP needs the app to receive the notification.

Still not getting calendar notifications. I'm not sure what app to install to trigger those.
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, the big change with AW 2.0 is it can be entirely stand alone, with the new LTE watches coming out. (We will not see that of course.) That is why apps are installed from the watch Play Store. Some apps are not AW 2.0 compliant yet, hopefully the devs will catch up.

Something is wrong with your watch install. I have Hangouts and Keep on the Watch. There is also an Agenda app installed that notifies calendar events for me.

Are you aware there are two places to look in the watch Play Store for apps? Open it, pull down and the top center and left icons are where you check. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see all apps sometimes. Also check the Play Store setting too.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Works on my Nexus 6P running 7.1.2 (beta}
[Huawei Watch] mageus:
Regarding the notifications issue:

Thanx for all the feedback. I'll reset the watch (again) and see if it works. This time I'll manually format all partitions (not just a factory wipe) just to make sure.
[Huawei Watch] nocaldawg:
I did hit the thank as well....Just finished flashing and I must say WOW! This is a new device.
[Huawei Watch] Rootuser3.0:
So it's worth flashing the DP even though a OTA is coming soon lol
[Huawei Watch] nocaldawg:
I thought so. Who knows when the OTA will actually come.
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
Don't know if I'd do it now when it says soon. I did this a while back with no sight of final release. But then "soon" could mean anything. Luckily it's quick and easy to flash the final release.
[Huawei Watch] ikenvape:
Actually you can install Android messenger via play on the watch. Fixed my issues. Just do a manual search from the watch.

[Huawei Watch] hamagc:
So 1 issue I'm Seeing with dp5 is battery. It runs great and I end with atleast 50% on most days. But once a week or so, something gets stuck somehow. I charge at night and usually wake up with 90% or so. On these random days, my watch will die early morning. Today for example, I wake up at 8, 90% left on watch. By 11am, it's dead. Battery details shows the big drop:

But nothing about what may be causing it. ideas?
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
sorry you are having issues. I'd try a fresh reset of the watch. Let it work itself in for 2 days and only then install additional apps and observe when it starts acting up again. The fact that it comes up with only 90% after an overnight charge is worrisome.
[Huawei Watch] hamagc:
90% is me charging it at night then wearing it overnight in theater mode. Sorry that wasn't clear. I've considered resetting it but it's running so good other than this.

Would a bad app not show up in battery results?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
No, but some updates will drain battery without showing in stats. Auto update apps, especially the Google app, can mess up battery drain for two or three days after they update. The Android Wear app last week did that to me. Do you have the watch Play Store set up to auto update? I have it off and check it every day in the evening just so I do not get surprises like this and at least I know the watch will have more drain after some updates.
[Huawei Watch] hamagc:
Didn't consider it as I do have auto update! Thanks for the tip!
[Huawei Watch] Johan1976:
Do you guys have always on / wake on tilt active?

With these settings in 1.5 i end up with 40% battery. After full days use (15 hours).

With exact same settings on dp5 I am down to 15% battery. (Tried for several days to be sure it wasn't a one timer)

If I turn off wake on tilt (still always on) I get 50% battery with 1.5 and 35-40% with DP5.

Big improvement with tilt off but the (for me) big difference between 1.5 and DP5 disturbs me.

I am using WatchMaker and face that never dims down. Works great in 1.5. Not so with dp5.

[Huawei Watch] blinde:
There is apparently some bugs regarding the tilt gesture on 2.0 so that's normal for now.
[Huawei Watch] :
No. The speaker was dormant and we knew it was there even before it was activated. Like we also know the NFC is not there. Tear downs..
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Do you have a link to a teardown that confirms that? I could not fine one.
[Huawei Watch] :
So you don't think it would have been mentioned anywhere like the speaker?

Before the speaker, people were "Oh look, a speaker", but no one is "Oh look, NFC".

You can just see about every tear down on Youtube. They point out what most of the things are. Also, NFC chips is pretty easy to spot. They're almost 1x1cm in size.
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
I have not seen it mentioned either yes or no at all about NFC, that is why I ask. Just because no one says "Oh look, NFC" does not mean anyone has stated, "Confirmed, no NFC". That is why I think there is some open question about the NFC existence in the Huawei W1.

The COMPLETE answer will be known soon, since you can not provide a link proving no existence.
[Huawei Watch] :
It's still false hope. You know what an NFC looks like? You can just look for yourself through the tear down. There is none. It's big, easy to see and first ever talked about after GSMarena.
[Huawei Watch] Magic_Knight:
Forget about NFC, maybe the microprocessor could support it but there's no NFC antenna inside our Watch so no NFC.

2.0 firmware is ready since a long time and the only reason Huawei hasn't released it yet is they want to sell as many (crappy) Watch 2 as possible before doing it.
[Huawei Watch] ngduonglam:

Check your sdk location for a folder called platform-tools and if it has files in it.

If that's not there then I can't help you. Google is your best friend.

great review? great summation

.. I hope Google is checking this thread from time to time (?ܠluv your products) because I LIKE swipe to go back because it's natural, and i don't want to wear out my button (lots of huawei watches on eBay being sold with buttons that fell off ). I also don't switch my watch face a lot, so that swipe watch face action sounds annoying.

I can see why Google might have to implement these changes, because c?mpetiting products are very button-oriented, and changing watch faces is a major sell for Android Wear, but if ye' olde swipe-back could remain as an option in settings that'd be appreciated.

everything else in your review sounds like big improvements though.

Let me know if that works.

I guess the first question is have you gone into your watches settings activated developer mode and then enabled ADB debugging?
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
https://i.imgur.com/XLtaHeZ.png yeah bootloader is unlocked it says "sturgeon3.5 it used to say 3.4" and how am i suppose to go to and activate dev mode when i already tried to run the whole thing and did its thing :| once i reboot it goes into some panic mode and its never ending bootloop :(
[Huawei Watch] dbroer91884:
So it kind of sounds like you had a bad flash with the preview developer version. The bootloader 3.5 is the new bootloader. I guess what I would do is download to your computer the available stable image that runs marshmallow and Flash that from the fastboot menu.

Have you booted it into the fastboot menu and run the fastboot devices code to see if it can find your watch?
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
yeah i get "random-number/letter-thing" fastboot btw im back on marshmallow for now.. i guess ill just wait a little longer for preview-2 anyways :)
[Huawei Watch] dbroer91884:
That's a bummer. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Have you looked into using the minimal ADB and fastboot tool XDA? I know I use that for my Nexus 6p and it works great because it comes with everything installed and ready to go.

I'm not complaining. Just asking if only me having problem. Is that hard to say "No, I don't have any" or "Yes, I have this too. It may be bug"
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
This is a complete rewrite of Android Wear, and it meant for developers to run in an emulator when designing apps, or on a watch for testing. Many things are left out that may or may not be included. This is a preview, before alpha, before beta. To call it a bug is really not accurate in such an early preview release. Trying to run this as a daily driver is just plain silly, unless you only use the watch as a development environment.

Since Google also previewed Allo and Duo, then the fact that Messenger is not working is not surprising. The support framework has likely been left out intentionally. There is extensive speculation that Hangouts and Messenger will be dropped, and we know how many items Google has killed applications through the years, right? Google claims otherwise, but they have said that before and then killed it anyway.

Sorry my answer is not as short as you prefer. :cowboy:
