[Huawei Watch] rps76:
I really like dp4. I misplaced my watch on the charger last night and found out the next morning I still got 25% battery left.

Because I didn't have a charger with me I changed the brightness to 2 and disabled the tilt to activate watch. All other options are still active.

At this moment I still have 11% left which is about 5 hours according to the statistics. So 41 hours active and still having 11% battery left is by far the best result I have had since I own this watch. This night I will charge my watch to 100% and will test the next days how long I can use the watch with this config.
[Huawei Watch] Double_a2013:
Flashing back to the stock for the time being. The watch faces are STILL burning in and ruining my watch. That plus the reboots are making me reconsider using the Dev Previews as daily drivers. We'll see what DP5 brings in January.
[Huawei Watch] friguy3:
Flashed back to stock and it just works better. Notifications that come in, swipe up to see, swipe left to see more, then right to dismiss. Why would they deviate from this? It's just more natural. They do seem to take an extra second to get pushed from phone to watch though.

I'd assume on the final release version, double button will turn off screen but that was huge for me too (I like to turn off and on my watch during work)
[Huawei Watch] sp5it:
Guys, which apps should I push to watch running developer preview since I don't know which ones should be installed during sync?

[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
this is what I'd like to have on my watch.

File Boss

Google Maps

Google Messenger

Google Fit

[Huawei Watch] JimSmith94:
I don't think any apps sync with the DP. Install the watch version of the Play Store on your watch, open that and scroll down and you will see apps you can install as well as a list of apps that were on your watch before that you can re-install.

1) Can it not sync on BT ? I have to enable wifi for sync

2) No notifications on watch...what am i doing wrong ?

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Sorted...BT

Still no notifications though
[Huawei Watch] cd993:
I can only but hope that this fixes it for you, but my way of fixing having no notifications was having a clean install and clearing the data of google play services. Then once setup allow to sync all apps (sometimes takes a while even when it's settled and appears to have stopped) and then my notifications came through. I had tried a few installs and it was only after clearing the data on that service which fixed it for me.

Good luck.

And on another note, battery life is great for me! Had 78% left today after taking it off charge at 8am, no wifi, syncing whatsapp throughout the day, wake on tilt mode. Very happy with this watch running dev preview 4.
[Huawei Watch] tharmor:
All working now...took time foe notifications to work....amazing battery.
[Huawei Watch] samjoandco:
Coffee (SMS App) is not working for me on Preview 4. is it working for anyone?
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
Can confirm it's not working on mine either. It gets the sent message but when I try to reply through watch coffee app it simply disappears.
[Huawei Watch] samjoandco:
sucks! not googles fault for changing the APIs, however it Looks like they are screwing up literally everything that anyone cares about on the android wear.

The UI for latest preview is better compared preview 2 but still inconsistent, un-user friendly
[Huawei Watch] pesaroso:
Has anyone managed to change region on the built-in keyboard? When I reply to a message using he keyboard, it's only using english with english predictions. The entire OS is in my native language, but I cannot for the life of me change the keyboard to match. Whenever I push the globe symbol, it just says "downloading additional languages.." or something and to please try again later.

Any tips?

Thanks! :)
[Huawei Watch] Damian:
Very strange. On my watch battery life is max 3 hours. I don't know what i do wrong but i can not use watch on this preview.
[Huawei Watch] tuk1maar:
My watch is still on stock and it lasts forever with the display on Always-On. It lasts like 2 days (always on is turned off at night). With Always-on turned off, my watch lasts me about 5 days on a single charge.
[Huawei Watch] Damian:
I'm saying about Android Wear 2.0 not about official.
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
I assume you've tried a complete reset? Battery is actually better on DP4 for me than on most recent stock or custom. I consistently end up with around 70% before I go to bed. I have tilt-to-wake and wrist gestures off and always-on screen on. It doesn't matter whether I use zenwatch, watchmaker or pujjblack faces.

cheers
[Huawei Watch] Damian:
Yes, watch been reseted to factory settings twice. I don't know where is the problem.

Maybe tomorrow i will try.

What is last version what You have on watch? I will check with my one what i have noted. :)
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
it's build number NVF41U which is DP4. Somebody here said that as soon as he turned on tilt-to-wake it ruined his battery life.
[Huawei Watch] Damian:
Yes. I had exactly the same and battery was die within 2-3 hours.

Is anywhere older build what i can flash and try to update? Maybe there is some differences?
[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
I don't have a link for an older preview. I assume it's a bug (have not tried this on my watch yet). Maybe it's best to go back to current stock or use custom rom if you really need that functionality.

cheers
[Huawei Watch] TrevSo:
Can people send messages through the Messages app from their watch? Mine seems like it's sending then nothing happens.
[Huawei Watch] Damian:
I flashed watch again, after set up i restored watch to factory settings and past set up again. Now is perfect. 76% after 8 hours of usage and aprox 1 day and 20 hours left.

Now i'm happy with it.

I am lost here.

how does this app solve the problem of replacing the "change watch face" action of side swipe with "open apps" action on the watch?
[Huawei Watch] blacknikname:
Shame on you ?
[Huawei Watch] samjoandco:
oh, i get it. thanks for posting the screenshot. i believe there are many solutions to get to that app drawer.

i was looking for a solution to replace the the side swipe with something useful. side swipe is one simple watch action that is mapped to the least useful functionality like changing the watch face.

The product managers for android wear should be fired . that is if they exist :eek:

Wear companion app is now available for iOS (iphone 6s) to test the dev preview.. Start fresh by removing the old app and downloading the new one. I am still the process of setting it up. Its taking is sweet time. I was able to pair my watch now checking for updates. Lets see what happens.

You need the latest ADB tools. Just open the Android SDK manager and download them.

[Huawei Watch] dbroer91884:
I tried it, not bad. I noticed the battery seemed like it went down really quickly. I'm flashing back to marshmallow as we speak. Otherwise, I like the new quick settings and the new app scroll. The notifications look a lot nicer than the cards did, imo. I'm sure the gestures will be fixed. I don't like the new way to change the screen. I don't know if it is because I'm use the the other way, but it was annoying. I liked that I could choose which faces to add to my list of choices instead of having tons of them (with the only way to hide them was through the android wear app).

On a side note, I'm excited that we have a watch that was chosen to be given a developer preview. Given how long the last update took, hopefully this means that once this update is finalized, it will come through quickly. We shall see.

[Huawei Watch] baw2607:
You need to extract the .tar file in the .tgz Google provides for download. All the files are in the folder it creates.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

You need the platform-tools package (if you can call it a package).

Second from top in your screenshot.

Once you've downloaded them, set the platform-tools location to your path variable to access adb and fastboot from any command prompt.
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
Does this have the handwriting keyboard? I'm on the preview dont know if there's a new version, but there's no option for handwriting keyboard in mine right now. Any help?
[Huawei Watch] baw2607:
You need to long press the keyboard icon to change to the handwriting mode.
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
Yep, but long pressing does not show any handwriting keyboard, there's only one option. I'll flash again using the image in the link.
[Huawei Watch] Double_a2013:
Make sure that you have it enabled in Settings->Input Methods -> Choose Keyboard. After that long press the Google Keyboard in the notification to use it.

My thoughts so far:

The Bad:

Performance was AWFUL on first boot. Major hangs and lag everywhere. I thought about re-flashing, but a simple reboot brought performance back up to MM levels. This is obviously incomplete also, and the lack of back gesture takes getting used to. The list of contacts to the right of the apps list appears to gone, but that wouldn't be a problem if voice commands weren't broken (and they are for me at least). For now the only way to start on a call on the watch is to go to hit the hardware button, scroll to the phone app, then find the contact. On another note, maybe I'm in the minority here but I never changed my watchface after I settled on one. Having left/right swipes go directly to the watchface selection menu is kinda annoying and I question why they felt the need to change that. For users that are constantly changing it, I guess this is nice, but I wouldn't mind having the option to swipe to the app drawer again.

Now for the good: The new notifications, app drawer, and QS panel are vastly superior to MM IMO. I'm not sure how else to say it honestly. They look, feel, and perform much better than MM. 2.0 does a much better job with round watches than 1.4 ever did. I was always the guy who said keyboards on watches are pointless, buuuuut handwriting and the google keyboard are making me eat those words. Having the option to silently respond to messages is better than imagined, and handwriting is crazy accurate. I haven't run into any 3rd party app incompatibles either, which is surprising for a major OS update in general let alone one that is in Alpha.

The Ugly:

Battery seems to be draining faster, though still too early to tell. Google Now cards are no longer in the notification list, which is a bit of a step backwards IMO. I would have liked to see more of the Now cards in it instead of being forced to open the Google app to see any at all. On the flip side, this does clean up the list, which is also nice.

TL;DR

Stuffs broken/been left out as to be expected in such an early release. The major changes are great and should make AW better.
[Huawei Watch] junioramboy:
Yeah.. but actually, I looked at it several times in Settings/Input Method but it wasn't there, only one option. I started poking around and suddenly it appeared. Lol. I'm a happy camper now. Thanks

[Huawei Watch] pablo71:
you are so correct ... the last time I changed my watch face was April of last year .. maybe in official AW 2.1 they should add a setting to activate the classic user interface ... it could go in " Settings > Accessibility > Button Hater " ... I suffer from being a Button Hater so I'd appreciate this accessibility setting

flash the rom using the script

can anyone help me to do that?

On your computer, navigate to the directory where you unzipped the system image in Step 1. At the top level of that directory, execute the flash-all script by typing flash-all.sh or, in the case of Windows, flash-all.bat. The following may need to precede the command: ./

I have a windows 10 PC, I'm pretty familiar with adb but I can't get the script running.

Sorry, I'm sure it's a super noob question

I'm not interested with the usual adb way, I have already flash DP 4 in my watch.

app sync

Hi all, please help me:

I cannot sync my watch and phone apps since I've installed 2.0

Is it normal? Any solution?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Use the Play Store on the watch to install them now. They no longer sync from the watch automatically.
[Huawei Watch] harry_fine:
I tried to find Whatsapp in the Playstore using the watch but it's not there. Is there no whatsapp for 2.0?

A bit confused about apps installed on the watch? Does it work in tandem with the same app installed on your phone? Do they use a common data file? Could you end up with different data on App(a) on phone vs App(a) on your watch?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Ask the WhatsApp devs.

Yes

Yes

No

Factory reset the watch and start again, happened to me once.
[Huawei Watch] speedme:
Hi guys,

I've searched the internet and this thread for an answer, but couldn't find it...

I'm thinking about buying the Huawei watch, because it will get the AW 2.0 when it is annouced (the official version I mean, I know the previews are already here).

My question : can whatsapp play video's on the watch itself ? I mean, when someone sends me a whatsapp with a video in it, can I watch the video on the watch ?
[Huawei Watch] nechmadi:
no, it doesn't even opens pictures sent in whatsapp .
[Huawei Watch] speedme:
Thank you, that is unfortunate.

A mate's Gear S3 is able to do that and it looks cool...hoped AW 2.0 could do that too
[Huawei Watch] Motawa88:
It's WhatsApp's fault.
[Huawei Watch] Flo9818:
This is not completly correct. If only one picture was sended you can see it directly in the watch
[Huawei Watch] nechmadi:
i'm on android wear 1.5 and it shows the writing "picture" with camera icon instead of the picture itself . maybe on 2.0 it's different , i'm waiting for official release
[Huawei Watch] Flo9818:
Yes I am running the developer preview:) thought you are running this too.
[Huawei Watch] Aligatz1989:
Does anyone know when the AW 2.0 (not beta) is gonna be launched?

I read that it should be launched today in UK.
[Huawei Watch] jainanshal:
It is out but it seems Google hasn't mentioned anything on when OTA will begin.
[Huawei Watch] speedme:
Normally, when Google finally announced a final version, the rollout starts quite soon.

Another question : is it possible in AW 2.0 to receive and see multiple messages (like Whatsapp) on the watch ? Let's say that someone sent me a lot of messages and I haven't checked in a while, will I see them all ? Or only the last sent message ?
[Huawei Watch] nechmadi:
you can see the whole conversation
[Huawei Watch] 32BitWhore:
They said "over the coming weeks," so it doesn't necessarily mean today, especially since they might still have to wait for OEM sign-offs on the final version.

We will get the OTA. That's it. If there is another preview at some point they will let us know
[Huawei Watch] hamagc:

"Caution:*After a watch is flashed with a Wear 2.0 preview image, subsequent releases can automatically be delivered via OTA, and may result in an automatic deletion of all data on the watch."
[Huawei Watch] ahhahh:
One question: I've been searching for a while and couldn't find anything. Is three button click brightness boost working in AW 2.0 / DP?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
no
[Huawei Watch] blinde:
Is there any way to toggle do not disturb mode on/off via watch to phone like in previous wear? All I can find is toggle to turn it on just on watch. Hate to do it on phone separately.
[Huawei Watch] hamagc:
Slide down and go-to brightness controls on the left. There is the theater mode in there for us.
[Huawei Watch] blinde:
I wasn't talking about theater mode. I meant how to toggle do not disturb mode on to phone with watch.
[Huawei Watch] erikiksaz:
It's funny, the first couple versions of android wear used to be like this where the notifications were set independently between the watch and the phone, and I loved it.

I loathed the change to where they were synced up. Now that it's back to how it was before, I can't stand it and I prefer the synced up method :p
[Huawei Watch] blinde:
Yeah, that sucks big time. At least they should give users chance to decide. It was so easy to just toggle do not disturb and not worry that phone starts to ring.
[Huawei Watch] nocaldawg:

[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
I think it is worth installing. It's stable for me and I like the new interface. Of course not everybody will agree.
[Huawei Watch] Johan1976:
I understand there are a lot of different reports regarding batterylife.

Mine is a lot worse than on 1.5.

I have factory reset. The only thing installed is spotify, watchmaker and facer. I have the exact same watchface on watchmaker. I have the same settings as in 1.5. Always on. Wifi on (auto).

Now after like a day Im on batterysaving mode and 10% battery. Before I always had between 40-50% when I went to bed (which is in about 2 hours).

Really cannot understand how it can be so different. Im not interested to disable things to get more juice. I want it to be similar batterylife as in 1.5.

Any ideas if there are some service or anything in the background running which wasn't present in 1.5?
