[Huawei Watch] samjoandco:
I understand that my statement looked presumptuous however here is why i say it.

There are major issues with bluetooth connectivity of the watch. Cant have it paired simultaneously with bluetooth headset &watch and allow it coexist without turning audio off on the watch. (hint copy apple here!!) the workaround is a big pain with Tasker and "BT near" and that too is not working all the time. this is a P0 usability issue IMO and needs fix asap.

Secondly, if u notice all the roll-outs for future hardware versions are mostly in limbo as per last months announcement.

Thirdly the final rollout of V2 was postponed at the last minute to early 2017 making it very suspicious

Lastly, the previews need to build up over the previous ones; they are expected to get progressively better as we near the release date; not hacking here and there. for gods sake this is not alpha or pre-alpha#. its a BETA 3 so the code is expected to be almost roll-out ready. which doesnt seem to be the case imo.

I dont intend to start a pi$$ing contest, i am just looking to engage in a meaningful dialogue here to better understand where we are going with V2 on android wear .
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
The Android Wear release date pushed back is highly likely to be to coincide with the Google Watch release. Google is making a big push to its own branded hardware, and a Google Watch would fit into this plan. It's a rumor, but comes from Evan Blass [MENTION=5613499]evleaks[/MENTION] so pretty solid possiblity.

Same Problems - Help

I have the same problems you had. I used the PV3 from the RootJunkySDL's website:

http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Huawei Watch/Firmware

and followed his directions in his YouTube video on the PV2 installation only using his PV3 files.

How to install Android Wear 2 0 preview on the Huawei Watch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVrBEmi35-E

I got the same warning screen you got, then it started up and then the Watch says "Continue setup on phone".

I joined the beta community as requested and got I think is the latest "Android Wear App" on the phone, but I'm not sure. I tried to make some changes on the phone, but there's no end and it just hangs at "Continue setup on phone", like you said.

Can you explain what I need to do so I can get it working like you did?

Please explain more how you did "Update Play Services to 9.8.75 on phone"? and then you reboot phone + Watch?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] Langduscher:
Download Play Services 9.8.75 from APK Mirror and install on phone. Reboot phone + Watch & reconnect :good:
[Huawei Watch] unfnknblvbl:
If that were the sole reason, then AW2.0 DP3 wouldn't be quite so... rough. I understand that it's being designed with 3-button watches in mind, but the simpler the UI on my watch the better, IMO. Swiping back and forth to exit apps and menus is infinitely better than pressing a button that might be awkward to get to for reasons.

I look forward to the "Pixel Watch" as much as the next nerd, but honestly, I'd rather it had an OS that's decent to use.
[Huawei Watch] Redevil06:
Thanks, I have checked my phone and it has "9.8.77 (438-13596225)" on it already and it's dated Oct 13. It must have just been updated on my Samsung G -5 phone yesterday. I'll try to go to PV3 again and see what happens. I'm back at PV2 now. Thanks.

BTW, did the message in your photo go away. Every time I tried to install PV3 before I always got that screen too. It doesn't appear that it will go away, or does it?

UPDATE: I went back and tried it again and no luck in getting PV3 to work again. Still stuck on continue setup on phone message even after hours. The Android Wear app on phone has the correct number but there's no "beta" after it. Should "beta" be in it's number? I'm going back to the latest stock build. I have no trouble getting the watch back to either stock or PV2.

Probably a new video explaining the whole process again for PV3 and what it looks like doing it would help anyone like me who's having trouble doing it.

Thanks for the help

UPDATE 2: Just a small note. I am going back to the old stock mec231 build. Before that I went back to the newer build m6e69f they have with PV3 to go back to stock or PV2 to get back to a working watch when PV3 didn't work. The fun now is getting the watch to do OTA updates to the latest configuration. It first went from mec23l to mwd69 then m6e69b. Next it goes to the m6e69f. I think you have to sideload to get to m6e69j. It wouldn't do any more updates after m6e69f, saying everything is up to date. I think I'll leave it that way until there's either an official OTA update or there's a better method to get to the next Preview, 4 and maybe more?
[Huawei Watch] coercri:
Are there any watchfaces that use the complications yet (other than the built in ones and the couple in the Watch Playstore)?
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
Dear Sir/Madam,

I did as you suggested, changing the build.prop. It did solve the issue, however now when I start the watch it updates and than displays a message to continue the setup on the phone via the app. However when I start the app it is connected to the phone, but nothing happens and the watch is stuck at the screen saying to continue on the phone.

Please help if able.
[Huawei Watch] Dima_2005:
Sometimes you need te reset the watch (recovery) and app (uninstall and reinstall). And then try again that fixed it for me
[Huawei Watch] Forever_Xu:
You need to forget your watch on the Android Wear app on phone. Then long press the button on the watch, Setting app will open and you need to reset the watch.

When you use the Android Wear app to connect to your watch, you'd better not to let it run in background.
[Huawei Watch] alocyber:
The Skymaster 2.0 test that you can download from the watch playstore uses complications.
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
Thanks now it did work, more or less. I did manage to configure the watch and start it, however could´t copy the phone account to the watch so I skipped it. Also why not let it run in the background ?

Thanks for the help so far, you guys are great :)

However I need a little bit more, since if I can not copy the account I cant use standalone apps, right. Defeats the purpose of Android 2.0 in a way, doesn´t it ?
[Huawei Watch] gwolfu:
think you can install manually the APK via ADB and will work just fine

or if that is too hard I've written a simple installer for windows

http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/general/android-wear-2-0-apk-installer-t3472766
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
That is true I can us the APK, however the program is I can not add the account to the watch, so even if I install the apps I can´t log in them, right
[Huawei Watch] gwolfu:
not totally right

unless the app uses Google services and needs special access to your account

for example Google Fit maybe !?
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
You are right, however my issue is that there is something wrong in general. I can´t start google now, etc. Basically the watch is connected to the phone but behaves as if it is not ?

Any ideas
[Huawei Watch] gwolfu:
try to reset the watch from the settings app on watch and on wear companion app on phone, forget the device

then try to flash again and re-do setup

most likely there is something wrong on the setup
[Huawei Watch] Forever_Xu:
I had the same problem. But days later, I successfully copied my account to my watch. You can try later.

If you let the Wear app run in background, you may not get back to the setup interface again.. This is my experience.

For now, you can only install app from the Play Store in watch or use adb to install app.
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
I can´t install aps from play store since I can´t access it from the watch.

Anyways if someone has a solution for this or also has the same problem I am open for suggestions.

Also thanks again for helping with pairing the watch in the first place atleast now I can use some of the functionality, before it was stuck at the setup screen.
[Huawei Watch] Forever_Xu:
Just press the THANKs button ;)
[Huawei Watch] smknutson:
This is what you need to do Hamal

Gwolfu answered this
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
Sorry to bother you guys, but I have another problem.

Now the developer preview works and all. However the apps installed on the phone don´t work on the watch.

Before when I used the original android wear, not the preview they seemed to work, google fit, maps, etc.

Now there are nowhere to be seen on the watch. Not to sound *****y but now it is worse than the old android wear. I can´t run anything besides the weather and a stupid timer. Any ideas ? I still get notifications though, which is a bit weird I think.
[Huawei Watch] smknutson:
That's because it has play store now. This is normal.
[Huawei Watch] thklinge:
Also, pleeease read the thread. Everything is covered here, on just the last 5-6 pages.
[Huawei Watch] gwolfu:
simply use the standalone apk installer

http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/general/android-wear-2-0-apk-installer-t3472766
[Huawei Watch] Hamal:
So basically what you are saying is that I can download any APK for a given app in the store and than install it on the watch and it will work exactly as its smartphone counterpart.
[Huawei Watch] thklinge:
No, you can download any app from the play store that has a watch companion, like Google Maps. The standalone apk installer will scan any apk file for the watch part of it, and install it to the watch. The same app must usually be installed on the phone also.
[Huawei Watch] WaxysDargle:
to anyone having issues setting up companion app on phone:

do not set up your google account(s) at initial setup. it will freeze and you will have to start over.

skip the account setup and wait a while after finishing setup before manually adding accounts to watch.

then it works fine.

Hi, i was running DP2 and i am now unable to detect my huawei watch in fastboot, tried 2 PCs and still good in adb nothing in fastboot.

Any advice on how to fix this?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
There IS no detection with fastboot, only adb. Just fastboot flash it, it should work fine unless you have a driver problem. Try the watch in normal running mode with "adb devices" from command line, if it shows your device ID, you are good to go with fastboot.
[Huawei Watch] kevincowong:
Thank you for your reply,

I do actually see the device from "adb devices", but it keeps "< waiting for device >" when I am using fastboot via flash-all.bat/"fastboot flash bootloader xxxx.img"(manually) after I input "adb reboot bootloader".
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Try using the button to reboot bootloader in the bootloader while "waiting for device" displays.

Do all the apps that worked in 1.5 work in the DP? I just bought a refurb Huawei with the main purpose of using it with golf apps for GPS when I'm playing. Not having any kind of input other than voice is killing me in Android Wear 1.5 for texts. I sit in a cubicle 8 hours a day at work and don't want to be the weird guy blurting out random text messages. :D
[Huawei Watch] thklinge:
Everything I've tried so I would say yes. The distribution is what's new.
[Huawei Watch] halon:
I have the same problem.

I was on the Negalite 2.4 Rom and downloaded the latest V2 preview.

I then unzip everything and run the flash-all.bat

It appears the boot image flashed but after rebooting I am still on the Negalite Rom.

Now from adb when I check for devices it sees the watch from normal watch mode and when I go to recovery mode but not from the fastboot menu

If I select bootloader from the fastboot menu it just reboots to the fastboot menu.

I know the bootloader has changed because I now get the "The device is unlocked and can't be trusted message" instead of the huwei logo.

Any adb commands or fastboot commands now just give me a "waiting for device" message.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Huawei Watch] halon:
Not able to Flash Preview Fixed

I entered the commands to reboot to bootloader,

I then entered "adb devices" but none were listed.

So I left my device plugged in . (Thanks Izeltokatl)

I went into the Windows Device manager, and deleted the Android or Adb drivers loaded.

I then unplugged my device (still in bootloader mode), plugged it back and windows loaded the drivers

I enterd "ADB devices" but none still were listed.

I then entered "fastboot devices" and the watch was listed

I was then able to flash the preview.
[Huawei Watch] DrHRH:

[Huawei Watch] AMoosa:

[Huawei Watch] Tecardo:

[Huawei Watch] shameemindia:
Tested on Huawei watch:

1. Android wear force closes few times in first 1 hour. 2nd 1 hour there is no more force closes. (update: no force closes for almost 4 hours) ??

2. NEW App launcher is awesome. Scrolling is better. But there is a time delay after pressing hardware button and app launcher pop-up. Sluggish loading.

3. Quick setting is very useful. Brightness shortcut is OK. But prefer slider ?.

4. No theater mode shortcut. But when double pressing hardware button, display off similar to theater mode. Much better and easier to activate. But screen keep on activating. Need some bug ? fix. May be feature/bug

5. When long pressing power button, Google voice activates.

6. There is option to disable system apps/watchfaces in the setting.

7. Also, permission management available in the setting.

8. There is no swipe to back shortcut available. Pressing hardware button returns to previous screen. DEAL BREAKER.

9. Now notifications pop-up for a few seconds and hide automatically.

10. Notification cards are modified and looks elegant and functional. No more ugly card ? on bright background.

11. Battery ? standby is somewhat mixed and ? ?. Have to test for few DAYS to make some conclusion.

12. Swipe from left to right for watch face selection and hidden watch faces under folder is perfect for those installing lots of watchfaces ⌚.

13. Widgets/Complications are somewhat limited. Already present in few 3rd party watchfaces for the longtime. Waiting for interesting Mashup when most 3rd party watchfaces support complications. Have great potential to be a killer feature with watchmakers.
[Huawei Watch] bluelinebrotha:
I'm going to keep running this for the keyboard which is wicked smooth! Voice search is broken and using the physical button to go back is a PITA.
[Huawei Watch] HibikiTaisuna:
You can also flash the files manually by unzipping the zip-file in the tgz-archive (don't know the name right now) and using the -S 40M or -S 50M option to flash the system.img

fastboot -S 50M flash system system.img

What I miss the most is the activation of the theatre mode via double press of the hardware button and the brightness boost by triple pressing it.
[Huawei Watch] AMoosa:
[MENTION=2297198]shameemindia[/MENTION] - really good review. Thanks. Still deciding whether to try it out or not. Are you going to keep it on or revert back?
[Huawei Watch] shameemindia:
Not in the mood to revert. Will keep it for at least 2 weeks. Will update if find something interesting feature/bug
[Huawei Watch] krogoth:
I can't find option to send sms, other than voice
[Huawei Watch] HibikiTaisuna:
The double press was featured in earlier versions as well. Doesn't work for me in the preview (deal breaker for me, as well as the missing triple click for brightness boost)

Agree with you.

In addition to your points I do have frequent crashes when replying or marking messages as read.

We’ve gotten tons of great feedback from the developer community about Android Wear 2.0––thank you! We’ve decided to continue the preview program into early 2017, at which point the first watches will receive Android Wear 2.0. Please keep the feedback coming by filing bugs or posting in our Android Wear Developers community, and stay tuned for Android Wear Developer Preview 4.

[Huawei Watch] vwlover69:
Would you willing to share your steps to do this? I have been so unsuccessful trying to flash 2.0 on my watch, I've just given up. I do have Negalite on it now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
I assume you have adb installed. I used this one.

download the sturgeon-nvf41u-factory-fb1f3790.tgz file, unpack until you get the folder sturgeon-nvf41u (it contains the flash-all.bat). Move that folder into your adb folder (not really necessary - just so I know where it is).

Have developer options on and ADB debugging enabled on the watch.

Then follow the instructions here under transfer image to watch

note: to get adb to recognize my watch on the charger I had to disable debugging and re-enable it. It asked for do you want to always allow the PC to connect...(or similar). It then listed the watch after "adb devices". Then boot into bootloader (step 4 under transfer image to watch above). You will see FASTBOOT MENU on the watch with a red Reboot in the middle.

Once the watch is on the bootloader, cd into your sturgeon-nvf41u folder and enter flash-all.bat. Make sure watch is securely on the charger and don't remove it while flashing of course.

It will take a few minutes and the watch will reboot (will take some time, just be patient). In the meantime you can remove the watch from Android Wear and reconnect it after it booted up.

PS: I guess you could also boot into the bootloader from the watch itself. Just make sure you know that adb recognizes the watch on the charger.

PSS: If for some reason adb does not recognize your watch while connected via charger to PC, I suggest to do this on another computer.
