my internet is slow

if i sideload OTA

have any difference between Update with OTA or Sideload it?

(for example battery life or performance ? )
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
Do I have to do anything speciall to install WhatsApp in Wear 2? I can't find how to do it...
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Same thing with my 2nd watch. I was able to upgrade my 1st watch just fine. Not a reliable process.
[Huawei Watch] rickyleung:
Is the update for developer preview only or its official 2.0 update?
[Huawei Watch] Redevil06:
Side load works.

I tried and tried but I couldn't get the update to work over the air. I tried the process of hitting the check marked green screen and I was able to start a download. However, it wouldn't complete and it went back to the green checked marked screen over and over each time tried.

So instead I side loaded the file (ee44a144cfa1319430608b5322b7d359c3e4bbf6.zip) going from 1.5 to 2.0, with the watch connected to my computer.

Followed all the other steps first preparing for a sideload.

Then: "adb sideload ee44a144cfa1319430608b5322b7d359c3e4bbf6.zip"

Now Android Wear 2.0 and Android OS 7.1.1.

Worked.
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Yep, have been seeing the same on mine too. Thinking about doing factory reset. Not sure why this is happening. I have a separate post about missed notifications not staying in the bottom of the screen either. I have to swipe up every time I need to see if I have any notifications.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Did factory reset help? In getting notifications but not staying on the screen unless I swipe up to check. Very frustrating.
[Huawei Watch] jaeskill:
What a joke...

I have to tap my screen 1000X and blow fairy dust on the bezels to get it to update like its supposed to?
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
You should be able to install it directly from the Play Store on the watch, IIRC.
[Huawei Watch] negamann303:
Don't get it mixed, that's how you force the ota, otherwise it will let you know when it's ready
[Huawei Watch] ilostchild:
i tried that tap thing and it failed me every time with all the tricks and tips. i just ended up sideloading the update much easier and faster..
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
The thing is that it wont show up. I installed a few apps already, but whatsapp is not available to install on the list. And if I try from play.google.com it say it's not compatible. :confused:

My phone is a OnePlusTwo with Resurrection Rom, not sure if thas has something to do with the problem.
[Huawei Watch] Fauert:
Full official AW 2 Update, I was full stock, and got the update 4 hours ago . No tapping or anything else .. [emoji106] [emoji2]
[Huawei Watch] jumphour:
I was gonna get that update if it killed me. After trying and failing a LOT last night, once I saw it start downloading, I just kept tapping through the entire download and it worked. It was rewarding after all the trial and error to see it finally do it's thing. LOL
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Yeah, sorry was confusing that with Hangouts. Just installed WhatsApp to the phone (Huawei 6P) and resynced all apps, but so far it does not show up.
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
Oh. Maybe then Whatsapp is not yet optimized for Wear 2 and we can only reply incoming messages and get notifications. I tought we could start conversations without the phone now, but it seems not :crying:
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Notifications for WhatsApp are driving me nuts. They don't show up automatically but if you swipe up they are there. Urrgghhhh, so if you miss the buzz, you have to swipe up Everytime you want to check if you have WhatsApp texts
[Huawei Watch] hamagc:
With the introduction of complications, one of my favs is the notifications count. This may help with your issue.
[Huawei Watch] ashkan.t:
i have a problem and cannot sideload ota update

dowloaded ota.zip

installed adb-setup-1.4.3.exe

then enable adb debuging on watch

plugged in cable to PC

open cmd

typed adb devices and says: deamon starts / list of attached devices: and show my watch

type adb reboot booloader

watch was on fastboot menu

again typing adb devices but when watch is on fastboot menu list of attached devices are empty and i cannot sideload ota.zip

what is the solution ? :(
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
Once you are at the bootloader, hit the side button untill you see "Reboot to recovery" in orange letters, then long press the button until the watch reboot.

Once you are in the recovery menu, scroll down with your finger to the line "update from adb" and hit the side button. Then go to cmd and type "adb sideload nameofthefile.zip"
[Huawei Watch] ashkan.t:
thank you so much :*

Worked
[Huawei Watch] username1234321:
Is the double press side button for theatre mode gone?
[Huawei Watch] retsilred:
Yeah this is really getting on my nerves as well, why did I upgrade :(
[Huawei Watch] Rumbleweed:
I hope not. I use double press side button to turn off screen while using sleep tracking.
[Huawei Watch] mrtnld:
I wish I could get past that "Copy Account" step :(

I tried the above steps, but it's stuck with the spinning thing.

The same goes for the phone of cause.

I guess I will have to leave it working over night and check again tomorrow.
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
That happned to me too. Did a factory reset on the watch and deleted all the data from the android wear app on the phone and then it worked.
[Huawei Watch] cypressss:
Yes, it's definitely gone. Same goes for triple tap to brighten up the screen.

They dismissed some great features and whatsapp is also buggy.

Pull down the shade and hit the brightness toggle. It will give an option to make brighter, dimmer, and turn off screen.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

It's still there but you have to access it differently. Pull down the shade and hit the brightness toggle. It will open a menu for brighter, dimmer, and to turn off the screen. Button push turns it back on.
[Huawei Watch] ZzEzZ:
Before trying to get the update, go into developer options (after enabling dev. mode by tapping build number 7 times) and enable "Keep screen awake while charging"

Then you can toss your watch on the charger, do the tapping trick to trigger the update, and let Huawei do the rest.
[Huawei Watch] willows:
We should email to Whatsapp developer to fix notification for Android Wear 2.0
[Huawei Watch] mr_ding:
For theater mode, pull down the brightness panel, it's the bottom button.﻿

Download the latest version from whatsapp's website (https://www.cdn.whatsapp.net/android/2.17.131/WhatsApp.apk), its working on this version.

the version on play store still has the bug.
[Huawei Watch] Philthy82:
I've tried this 3 times and every time it finishes the download, starts the countdown to restart then pops up the question on whether I want​ to install again. No matter what I do at this point the green tick screen comes back up and I have to start the whole thing over. Don't know how to get past this point.
[Huawei Watch] robsonline:
What worked for me was to tap the very top of the screen. If I tap anywhere else, it would not work.
[Huawei Watch] tsells:
I've been trying all day and had no luck. (The update would stop halfway everytime.)

But this above method did it. (Although I had to try four times to update, but it finally did.) THANKS!!!

:D:D:D:good::good:
[Huawei Watch] SickBeast:
Thanks! I'm guessing I needed to choose "reboot" after the update finished transferring via adb? Now my watch is taking forever to reboot, I hope everything is ok.

*edit* Everything is working great now! The first reboot just took a really long time. It looks like a fantastic update to me.
[Huawei Watch] cypressss:
yes, I know but that's very uncomfortable compared to the previous method. Double tap without even looking is way easier than sliding and tapping somewhere on the screen multiple times.

But that's what it's like now so we have to get used to it...

[Huawei Watch] peppens1:
thanks!

i flashed the 1.4 stock recovery. then i updated with dp5 and then the watch found the last OTA.

It works but at the power on i see a screen before the huawei logo....The watch says that "device software can't be checked". But it power on and works without problem.
[Huawei Watch] daveuk87:
That's probably just because your bootloader is unlocked. Do an 'adb reboot bootloader' then 'fastboot oem lock' you should be able to get rid of that message.

Edit: second command is fastboot not adb.
[Huawei Watch] peppens1:
yes, unlocked. But with 1.4 fw, didn't have that screen.

Ok, no problem. I'll keep it unlocked for eventually experiment with ROM or other in the future.
[Huawei Watch] C3C076:
Well, since 2.0 comes with Assistant witch has limited multilanguage support I can no longer voice type messages in my native language like I used to on 1.5. The only way is to use the built in keyboard, which is also kind of limited as it does not have support for my language neither (Phone version of Gboard does). This means I have to have auto-correct turned off if I want to be able to type in both, English and my native language... This ruins the whole experience for me as now I have to pull out the phone to carry out quick simple tasks such as quick replying to a message. This update made my watch very limited showing time and notifications only, unable to do tasks that require interaction in my native language. Am I the only one having such experience?
[Huawei Watch] willows:
I have same experience like you
[Huawei Watch] mziel:
If anyone want to unlock bootloader to sideload manualy - you don't have to!

When you reboot to bootloader it will say it is locked, than boot to recovery and manully swype to adb upload patch or something like that. After this you can use adb to sideload update zip file.
[Huawei Watch] dasich82:
Same to me. :eek:
[Huawei Watch] lsp:
Doesn't wear 2.0 support the chance off settings through the phone? So when you set phone to silent, the watch follows, like on 1.5
[Huawei Watch] cccs1:
I will return to 1.5 Back
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
wtf? Why?
[Huawei Watch] Pattagghiu:
lol we've been complaining for months, and now we are complaining for the opposite :)

well, i have to understand something of this new version.

notifications, first of all.

than the impossibility to turn the "do not disturb" feature on the phone. I used that a lot on 1.5

and, finally, i can't use complications on stock faces. is that right? have i to download some new faces to use complications?

thanks :)
[Huawei Watch] Poeta:
All gone well... Except events, dont shows any events ?

[Huawei Watch] katabxp:
That's not what I needed, I want img.tgz, which contains the flash-all command of adb.

Does this have to be written from recovery or how?

On smartphones I use img.zip to write rom (custom) from recovery but I do not know how to write it on smart watch.

I mention that I do not have twrp or root on my watch!

Thx!
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Skyline:
Google Assistant cannot access my contacts. Already checked permissions, they're granted. When I ask her to call someone or to text someone, it asks to use the smartphone contacts, I activate it, then it goes back and restart the process, every time asking for the contacts on the device.

Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks!
[Huawei Watch] ashkan.t:
sorry

i dont know any useful about fash rom on watch

i did flashed this file just followed a tutorial on web and it worked

i dont think there is a different way to update 1.5 to 2 (just flash OTA.zip or update OTA on watch)
[Huawei Watch] katabxp:
Can you give me a link to follow the instructions there?

I installed the final wear 2, I received update notification, but I want to clean install.

i used it too

but after watch was in fastboot menu

i was followed this :

Once you are at the bootloader, hit the side button untill you see "Reboot to recovery" in orange letters, then long press the button until the watch reboot.

Once you are in the recovery menu, scroll down with your finger to the line "update from adb" and hit the side button. Then go to cmd and type "adb sideload nameofthefile.zip"

I had major problems also with Google accounts not pairing to my phone. Thing that seemed to work for me was clearing data and cache ON THE WATCH for the Google Play Services, Play Store, and Google and then trying to connect it.

I wonder if it works for others.

What file did you use to revert to 1.5?

@ hugo san Downgrade like johan said.
[Huawei Watch] tdarren:
Yes it's a shame you can't just double click the button to turn off the screen now. Although you can still turn off the screen by pulling down from the top on the watch face to open the quick settings, then by clicking on the sun icon and then clicking the bottom icon. Sadly not as simple as double tapping.
[Huawei Watch] Rumbleweed:
Hopefully Google will give developers of apps such as Sleep as Android the ability to turn screen off from within their app.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
To relock:

1. adb reboot bootloader, then

2. fastboot oem lock.
[Huawei Watch] ferrydroid:
My play store on wear always shows "check your connection and try again"

The problm is unlock an relockimg the bootloader because of warenty. I stored the version 2 till now on my watch. Problem is the google asistent who onyly works with us or uk english no other language is surorted till now.

I made all other things to work, like become a mesage or replay whats app.

I use the slim letter und installed the last beta of whats app.
[Huawei Watch] oprescutoma4:
For me AW 2 is a huge disapoiment and a step back in terms of look, fell and practical advantage. Why the hell din not make a color or black background like in previews dp? This alwais stock grey is kiling me. Nothing is ugly than this. Than, my beatyfull watchmaker face dont remain on watch. Anyother face work except mine. On watchmaker cant add and see image from galery anymore to create a watchface. Its cool that we have a keyboard and watch is more responsive but if watchmaker cant function properly than back to negalite 1.5. I go!

Maybe something im missing? Can i change background notification in any way?
[Huawei Watch] vincent2167:
I got the same problem and solved it by enabling wifi on the watch. Right now it works fine event with bluetooth only (I rebooted the watch a couple of times since the first issue).
[Huawei Watch] re-2007:
l agree with you at all

Nothing is ugly than this(android wear 2.0) specially the notification......
[Huawei Watch] Pattagghiu:
- notifications.. without the low part of the display reminding them, i loose 99% of messages. Very bad.

- complications.. still i have not understood how to use them..

- button function.. i hate this. When in ambient mode i also have to click twice to get to the list of app. And i can't turn off display!

- do not disturb.. this is ridiculous i have to turn silent 2 devices. I want back the previous behaviour!

- last of today: burn in protection. I can't get it enabled. I enable it from the developer menu, reboot, and.. it's disabled.

Well, ok, there is something to fix :)
[Huawei Watch] yourstauseef:
Hi

i am quite junior in this forum. i read all comments after AW 2.0 launched. from last 02 days i continously hitting update settings on watch to get the OTA , but in vain. i am at AW 1.5.

would appreciate if anybody let inform that OTA is avilable for 1.5 or still its for Dev DP5.
[Huawei Watch] Pattagghiu:
it's available.

if you can't get it automatically, you can:

- sideload it

- apply the "tapping workaround" you can find in previous pages of the topic.

I used the "compulsory tapping" workaround with success :)

(another limit: in ambient mode, i can't slide up notifications: i have to touch the display to exit ambient mode and THAN slide up. Bad again)
[Huawei Watch] ashkan.t:
how works for you?!

id did a factory reset again (2 times)

but nothing changed

when i turn on WIFI on watch

looks like the watch don't scan any wifi signal

just in the (saved network)

my home wifi saved (watch has synced wifi data from phone)

--------

how do you connect to wifi on your watch?
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Everyone is complaining now of the update (AW2.0) being "a step backwards" after months of complaining it was not available. The AW 2.0 is an entirely new interface and that was no secret. It will take a small learning curve to know the new navigation. I've been on it since DP1 and ran a 1.5 on another HW1 at the same time. To me, it is a step forward and what AW 1.x should have been. People need to understand that it is a different UI and navigation and should stick with 1.5 if not willing to learn 2.0 IMHO.

I read an article that said Google thinks users want information given to them quietly on the watch. I think we should be given the option!
[Huawei Watch] jdock:
I had a hard time getting this OTA. Tapping the check mark screen never seemed to do anything but a few times, if I did that for a few seconds, then backed out and checked for updates again, I'd see what was probably a "updates are available, download now?" screen for a fraction of a second. Then it would either go to a white screen or the "Downloading" screen. If it went to the white screen I could back out and check for updates again and it would give me the Downloading screen. But ultimately it never downloaded anything and eventually aborted (or else something I did cancelled it).

I enabled the keep awake while charging option in developer options, put the watch on the charger, repeated the checks until I got the download screen, and this time waited... and eventually it did progress. I really must have been cancelling the download.

Downloading now, no idea whether it will install :)
[Huawei Watch] jugul:
Disabled BT to try it, did a few searchs and orders with the assistant and its working fine.

Stop complaining! We have waited so long for this update and now we say that we never needed it anyway. You should only anticipate what you know is going to come. Although there is a bit to work on. I am confident that Google will fix it or add those features. Just wait! And try to get used to it.
