[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] donguason:
So I am on my 2nd S8 plus (first one was swapped because of dead pixel). The issue I seem to keep having is that apps auto refresh constantly. Not all apps but most do.

Let me explain. I'll be in chrome reading an article then all of a sudden it refreshed and reloads the page sending it to the top.

I'll be in the IGN app and same thing only it will kick me back to the home screen.

On Facebook, I'll be 6,7 post down then back to the top.

The weirdest one is YouTube. I'll be watching a video then the image will go black for 2-3 seconds then re scale the video from regular to full screen to regular. The video will NOT restart and the audio will stay the same, it's just the image will go black. But if there is a logo on the bottom right hand side of the video, that never disappears.

I have restarted the device, reset to factory, wiped cahce and still keeps happening.

And it's randomly, some times I won't have an issue, other times I will. Can't figure out what it is. Anyone else have this issue?

Could it be my SD card? Currently no apps on SD but on my last phone apps where on SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I've been having the same same issue also. No clue what's causing it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] donguason:
Might be SD card. Ordered a new one to see if that solves it. I took the SD card out for 30 minutes and didn't notice any issues. But need to test longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I don't think it the sdcard, but what do I know lol. Gonna run a few days without also to see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
Sounds like the horrible memory management on the S8+ is giving your grief. Unfortunately, if that is the cause, there is no fix for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I'm almost sure that is the phone . Just got my replacement today and so far no app has closed or reloaded while using them. Think my device was a dud
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] donguason:
I'm on my 2nd one too and still having the issue. But I'd don't start right away. Maybe a week or 2 after I got the new phone. I also did a clean install and didn't restore anything. That's why I think it could be the memory card.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I guess I spoke too soon started again this morning. Gonna order a new sdcard and test
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] donguason:
Still waiting on my SD card. What I plan to finish format the card with the phone. I popped an old SD card in and it still does it but not as often.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ubrtnk:
My S8+ does it and I do not have an SD card at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I seem to fix my problem refresh problem with lspeed. No reloaded for about 2 weeks now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
Are you rooted because that app only seems to work on root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Djjjjj:
I just stated having the smame issue since Jan 2 2018 with my LG G6. Last system update was Dec 9 and most recent app was Whatsapp. I did move a bunch of photos to my SD card in albums recently. Ill take it out and see what happens.

Did you tested it or its just spam to your website? What you posted, belongs to full android watches with call option, not to modified Amazfit OS.
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
please post a how-to or some actual images of this thing working on the Amazfit.
[Amazfit] kwoodall:
I'm using it on my Amazfit Pace right now. Standard US/English ROM.

I used APKInstaller on Windows to install the APK to my watch. I then followed the prompts in the phone application to connect the phone app, which I downloaded from the Play store, to connect the phone to the watch. It was pretty simple. Here are screenshots of it running on my Amazfit Pace.

[Amazfit] 1immortal:
can confirm, this works, and surprisingly well. it does need some work on the UI/UX, but its a great solution for an alternative notification system.
[Amazfit] Melhiat:
I can also confirm. It's working. Needs some polishing, but ok :)
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
I've made a small video of it - https://youtu.be/PURGFLKOSgo - just a quick overview
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
Thanks for taking the time to do that.
[Amazfit] Diginix:
Where can we place feature request for Watch Droid? I have send them an email, but maybe devs are here on XDA?

I would appreciate if Tasker support would be implemented.

Triggering tasks from the watch would make the control of many many things possible.
[Amazfit] ithosu:
Works perfect for me!

Furthermore, the app warns you if the connection with the phone is lost!!! For me, this is very important.

Thanks a lot!
[Amazfit] kokabunga:
Worked!

Now I can :

1. control music in my phone (deezer)

2. see contacts photos in incoming calls

3. see loner messages (sms, whastapp, inbox)

4. reply to messages (replies can be customized!)

super happy!
[Amazfit] eatblueorange:
cannot reply to SMS message if your phone is from XIAOMI or using MIUI framework. :(
[Amazfit] Linux:
To me, incoming calls show the default amazfit message not app message with photo..
[Amazfit] kokabunga:
Do you disable amazfit notitications (in phone app)?
[Amazfit] ithosu:
After a few days using the app , this is my opinion:

-I don't have problems with disconnections at the moment, the app is going great.

-I am using it without the official amazfit application, since I uninstalled it from the phone and I realized that, surprisingly, I was still receiving notifications and calls, which is all I need from the watch.

-I've lost 2 days of battery (6 to 4), but I have my disconnect warning , and for me this is more important.

At the moment, I'm happy with the app.
[Amazfit] Linux:
Yes, whatsapp, sms email works..
[Amazfit] babaroga73:
Are you telling me that Pace now warns you when your bluetooth connection with a phone disconnects?

As in "don't forget your phone" feature?
[Amazfit] Diginix:
Yes, that's possible with Watch Droid.

I was having problems to update watch app to new version 3.3.6.2 via phone app due to blocked install, so I have extracted Watch Droid Assistant Beta 3.3.apk from watch app installed to my phone instead.

HOW TO :

-Download APK to your PC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzDn-YowRTX9aW9mNF9mY1puQllNR192VVdaNnZ4THJERWNB/view?usp=sharing

-Uninstall old version using: adb uninstall com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistant

-Push version 3.3.6.2 to watch: adb install "c:\huami\Watch Droid Assistant Beta 3.3.apk"

Virus detected

Hi, the installer exe file is detected to contain trojans virusses. I have not yet got the right to post external links here (newbie) but you can upload the file to virustotal dot com to see the results.
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
I've tested it with virus total and there are some weird AVs reporting on some low severity Trojans. I've checked my machine for those with Eset and it came out clean.
[Amazfit] Diginix:
Maybe it is "safer" for others and me, if you post only the apk file here. For a simple adb command an exe file is a bit too much. But for the one-click-noobs it is ok. ;)
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
you can find the latest beta here:

https://mega.nz/#F!jRliEagC!fhmInkv1FIfmqcFor_jpMg

open up cmd and run:

adb install -r watch.apk

after that, if you have no access to the applications drawer on the watch, type:

adb shell monkey -p com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistant 1
[Amazfit] shakareal1:
hi

can i install this on my amazfit with version:1.3.3a?
[Amazfit] kopaczus:
Hi there. I just installed the app and it works great, THANKS! One question: will we be able to adjust intensity/duration of vibration on receiving notifications? Right now, due to how long it buzzes, I'm convinced I'm receiving a phone call every time it goes off :) Thanks
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
Yes, soon...
[Amazfit] Khotu:
I have one question. How about battery drain is it the same or bigger with this app? :) (both watch and phone)
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
It's bigger, you'll lose around one day of usage on the watch, and your phone will lose some juice as well.
[Amazfit] Khotu:
Thanks :) Anyway ill try this app!
[Amazfit] tibinet:
Hi Zabique,

I used the application for couple of weeks, it is really great. Today I intentionally installed the update to my phone and I have exactly the same issues as you had. I just dont understand, how did you solve it. May I ask you to describe it little bit more?

Thanks
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
Guys, please use this installer, it's the same version as of the play store right now.

[Amazfit] tibinet:
[MENTION=576939]1immortal[/MENTION]: thanks a lot man, this is great :)
[Amazfit] zabique:
that link contain Virus!
[Amazfit] kwoodall:
You should seriously offer that as a direct .APK download as well. Even if the installer isn't infected by a virus - having to work around the false positive is a pain - and I already use ADB/APK Installer on windows to make this easy. But I can't even get to the APK in the download as Windows Defender just erases it.
[Amazfit] zabique:
It took me a while but I have now managed to update assistant app on amazfit.

1. Install ADB on your PC/MAC

2. Download this latest assistant from my clean link and place it on root of C:\ drive APK https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzDn-YowRTX9NVh1WWdMalpmZHM

3. Run ADB command: adb install "c:\Watch Droid Assistant Beta 3.8.apk"

if successful you should see

C:\Users\your account\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb install "c:\Watch Droid Assistant Beta 3.8.apk"

5552 KB/s (646832 bytes in 0.113s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Watch Droid Assistant Beta 3.8.apk

Success

PS: I have discovered that comand : adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1

allow APK pushed from Watch Droid Phone app to go beyond "Install blocked" screen, but then I am unable to scroll down to confirm next window, I even tried use ADB keyboard key press commands for DOWN, PGDOWN,JOY DOWN, SPACE, ENTER,YES, unfortunately I cant go past that screen and above ADB install is the only option right now.

any problem give me a shout
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
you should use

adb install -r

for an upgrade, simple adb install won't do if you already have it installed.

anyway, latest assistant attached.

the part of the installer script from within the exe is:

adb devices
adb push launcher_config.ini /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
adb shell am force-stop com.huami.watch.launcher
CLS
adb uninstall com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidphone
CLS
adb uninstall com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistant

adb install watch.apk
CLS
adb shell monkey -p com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistant 1
[Amazfit] atzohy:
Is there any way to turn off notifications on my watch when my phone screen is on? There's an option for it in the Amazfit app, but I couldn't find an option like that in Watch Droid.

Or am I missing something?
[Amazfit] subscope:
I bought a amazfit 2 days ago and I saw this thread. I installed it and works like a charm :) thank you

Just a question... it's impossible to use amazfit + this app? thank you in advance :)
[Amazfit] jairbj:
I tried but the phone software doesn't connect to watch. It says: "Failed to connect to watch". Bluetooth connection is ok trough Amazfit app.

[EDIT]

I restarted my phone and now it's working.
[Amazfit] Rezoss:
I have read on the Facebook page about this Watch Droid assistant, that it's need to be disabled before starting any activity. Because apparently it will break your activity tracking if you receive notification in the middle of your training.

Does anybody could confirm this? As i'm quite reluctant to try because of this limitation.
[Amazfit] zabique:
When battery on amazfit pace goes below 5% and it goes to airplane mode, my phone galaxy S8 WiFi is starting to freak out. Pings going up to 1000ms, lost WiFi connection, exclamation mark on WiFi indicator. It goes back to normal when I disable watch droid phone app or recharge watch.

1st time when this happened I thought my router is broken.

Anyone else with same issue?
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
Don't go below 10 percent, this watch starts to get crazy in that zone
[Amazfit] jairbj:
It got disconnect 2 times after that and only reconnects when I reboot my phone.

Besides that, after install watchdroid my watch battery discharged 40% in a day vs 20% before install this.
[Amazfit] miagii:
is there a way to get the app in the watch menu or should i always swype to the apps and start it from the app list
[Amazfit] hsela:
Is there any chance that watch droid will be available for iphone?
[Amazfit] novren:
Hi, the app works great but I've got one issue. Even though I have disabled notifications from the amazfit app (both blacklisted them all and disabled the general setting), my calls still get shown by the amazfit app, not watchdroid, so no profile picture. Anything to be done about that?
[Amazfit] miagii:
Just remove the notification read permission from the amazfit app just select the watchdroid App Thors works for me
[Amazfit] novren:
It does for me too except for calls. Amazfit overtakes always.
[Amazfit] miagii:
Did und turn off the amazfit app here?
[Amazfit] novren:
If I do that I lose the music control (from either swiping up from watchface or the watchdroid watch app)
[Amazfit] litchime:
Hi,

I can't add SMS application in the notification list (unfound in list), so I can't receive SMS on my watch.

Have you got an explaination please?
[Amazfit] Diginix:
Watch Droid needs access to notifications of your message app. Otherwise it won't work. If you can't find it in the black list section of Watch Droid, you can only xchange your message app to a 3th party app, that is supported.

But in my Watch Droid really all apps of my Android are listed.
[Amazfit] litchime:
Thank you, it's what I've done.

Another question, is it possible to keep notifications on the watch screen until we slide them out manually? For now the notifications appear only during few seconds.
[Amazfit] kochan:
Is there ios version?
[Amazfit] miagii:

[Amazfit] Diginix:
Today I got a Watch Droid notification while I'm recording an indoor run and this has killed the tracking complete. After the notification disappears the record starts from 0 and the already tracked data were gone.

Very annoying.

Is this normal? If so, it is not aceptable for me and I have to activate flight mode before tracking sport.

Has the 5.0 version of the droid watch lost functionality to reply?
[Amazfit] Brava27:
No, you have to click Actions then reply
[Amazfit] StefanW13:
I can confirm that it works fine so far. Just one little bug, some messages are shown two times on the watch and in one action is the reply button but not in the other one
[Amazfit] FrangoDaMalasia:
When you click reply, these options only appear

Hello, Ive been using the watch droid for the past couple of months, when i open the app draw on the watch I get a msg invalid out of date 01/03/2018. I tried re installing with the latest v.5 but still the same. Any idea's?
[Amazfit] Diginix:
The latest version is 6.0 and has not yet reached the expire date. Just use this.
[Amazfit] jmoportugal:
Do you see any difference in battery life? On the watch and on the phone?

Watch droid stop working

My Watch droid app in phone (Huawei G630, rooted, android 4.3) crash/stop working every time a click on "Settings". Already tried every version from beta to newest. Is there any solution or some alternative apps to watchdroid? Thx

Hello,

How use a keyboard on the Pace ?

Is there an apk for install it ?

Thanks
[Amazfit] lfom:
WatchDroid provides its own keyboard, or you can install a third party like TouchOne (my preferred) or Minuum (I think it uses too many resources). Search forum for more info about how to install them, Minuum is provided in PaceTuner, I think.

Battery drain and my solution

I was experiencing major battery drain when I updated to version 7.1.14.7 of watch droid. I did a bunch of tests but ended up finding that after updating on my phone, watch droid assistant on my watch never updated. Once I manually updated through the "information" menu in watch droid on phone, the battery drain was gone. Hope this helps anyone with issues.

drain

I installed the new widget that allows to move it's place. Really needed that. without it all the features are just "too far away"

But yesterday WDA drained the battery in about 7 hours! normally it lasts 3 days

I can't be able to figure out how to get it working after rebooting the watc. Seems that after updating the Amazfit Watch App and the widget, WD & AW does not want to work together. I need to kill AW from the phone to get WD to connect. Or play with bt on and off from the watch multiple times. And after that, the AW does not connect anymore!

And yes, i have disabled notifications from the AW

So please make a video how to get these going after rebooting the watch, AW + WD + Widget 1.1 !!

[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
It is easy, just use one of the apps (I prefer WD) as both apps are attempting to connect to your watch and that is probably the main cause of your battery drain.

can't access contact

as the title I can't access the contact in the watchdroid assisstant. Can someone help? When i press on the contact icon nothing happen
[Amazfit] GrinFactor:
Go to your Notification Filter and select the app that is giving double notifications, then tick the "filter the notification if you can not answer" box. This resolved my double notification issue.

Another solution is to untick the "when not touching the notification generate record in the smartwatch (premium feature) - not sure what this does... but when I enable it I receive notifications in both WD and the default notification center (swipe up on watch face). This resolved my issue, now I only use the WD notification centre.

I wish Lumatic Soft could update the wording on WD's menu's and maybe add a tooltip so that things can be explained better.
