I installed 14.5 and she is using only Netflix (I mean apps that require SafetyNet). I only had to hide root using Magisk Hide and it works fine. IDK if it's just Netflix what is needed to be hidden or other Android apps too but I hid some Android things (Android Shared Library and others) and now even Play Store reports as "Certified" :angel: (sadly Magisk doesn't pass SafetyNet test D: )
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Ah glad to hear it! Yeah the Magisk SafetyNet check isn't 100% accurate. As long as the play store says cetified that's all that matters anyways
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] victor141516:
This is the list of apps hidden, if anyone is interested:

Android Shared Library

com.google.android.gms.setup

Google Play Store

Google Services Framework

Netflix

Anyone else have this same issue? I've flashed the official 8.1 image 5 times today, and as of yet, it only syncs about half of my contacts. And it seems it's totally random. Also, my favorites in the Phone app are now blank, there are none shown.

Something is broken in the new 8.1 release that the latest 8.1 DevPreview had working. Looks like I'm going back to the 8.1 DevPreview for now. I can't afford to be without my contacts for work.

UPDATE: Oh, great. Now it's happening on 8.1 DP2 as well. ****. That's not good. I can look in gmail on the PC, and all my contacts are still there, so that's good at least. But I need them on the phone.

OK, so a temporary fix is lengthy, but is as follows:

1: Go to contacts.google.com and EXPORT ALL of your contacts to a CSV file. Save it somewhere, make copies, whatever.

2: Open that file in Google Docs Sheets

3: Remove ALL links to google plus and websites (just those two, the ones with a chain link icon)

4: Remove ALL "relationship" entries

5: Save to your PC with a NEW NAME

6: Go back to contacts.google.com, and DELETE ALL CONTACTS

7: Hit "Sync now" on your phone (there should be no contacts there)

8: IMPORT the NEW CSV (from Sheets) into the contacts on contacts.google.com (old version of contacts online imports, new version doesn't. It'll tell you that)

9: Go back to your phone and hit "Sync now" again

10: All your contacts should start filling in again. Some won't have their pictures because they pulled from G+.

Yeah, like I said, it's LONG, but it works. This is only temporary, until Google gets their stuff together.

As long as you keep that original CSV file, you can reimport all your original contacts when the time comes, G+ links, relationship entries, and everything.

ONLY EDIT THE COPY, NEVER THE ORIGINAL

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] varunvs:
Same here. It's happening on Nexus 5X running on final Android 8.1 build too. Tried factory resetting the phone and syncing again but no help.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] chevycam94:
So it's Googles server side sync client. Great. As of this morning, it's still broken (looking in the Account Sync section in Settings). Hitting "Sync now" syncs everything other than contacts, which is still bugged out.

I'll stop saying SYNC now.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00293:
I reached out the Google support yesterday since a lot of my automation and DND depends on having Contacts synced correctly. They were clueless that something is broken on their side. However, the support person (from Pixel support) tried her best to help resolve the issue by going way beyond her domain.

In short, this is something we just have to wait and hope it gets resolved soon. Avoid making too many changes to your contacts and create lot more merge conflicts between your phone and Google servers.

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] brought up a good point, I had noticed too but I forgot about. In Settings/Accounts (or whatever it's called now)/Google you can see an exclamation point beside the syncing Contacts. So the phone does know it's having a problem syncing.

I saved all contacts from contacts.google.com as vcf file. Deleted all the contacts on that page. Then, via Google Contacts app on the phone, imported as a vcf file and all contacts have appeared. (BTW, the Google Contacts app only gave the option to import from vcf file or from SIM card).

Thanks so much for your input and ideas.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Interesting! I'll add a link to your fix too. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] phaino00:
Delete the link for that fix.

The prior missing contacts have disappeared after the vcf file import. However, the one contact I deleted from contacts.google.com page and then added via Google Contacts app on the phone did not disappear from the app.

Also, the sync exclamation thingy has disappeared for me; now it appears to sync normally. Of course, excluding the issue with missing contacts.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Done, thanks! I think the exclamation is hit and miss. Keep that VCF! :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FlareHeart:
The VCF solution did not work for me. Clearing the two website columns of their contents in the CSV and re-importing that did work for me though.

Thank you. Definitely have both csv and vcf files for contacts saved.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FlareHeart:
Stock Google Contacts app. Did the import in the web version however. So my process was as follows:

1. Export My Contacts as CSV

2. Clear all contacts currently in profile and verify the empty contact list appears on the phone.

3. Clear the 2 website related columns of their data (except the header)

4. Re-import modified CSV in the web interface

5. Re-synced successfully.

I got the following cases:

Spigen Tough Armor w/Kickstand

SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle

VRS Design High Pro Shield

Spigen Tough Armor

Pros

Kickstand

Slim

Tactile power and volume buttons

Cons

Slippery

kickstand seems flimsy

SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle

Pros

Great overall feel

Clear backing

Power and volume buttons are responsive

Feels very sturdy/solid

Largest front "lip" (could be a con)

Cons

Buttons are not more pronounced

Thickest case

VRS Design High Pro Shield

Pros

Best looking case with the dual textures

Physical button cutouts

Cons

Buttons are not responsive; very difficult to take screenshots

Plastic band may break easily (this is the part that broke on my Nexus 6p case)

Somewhat slippery

Overall, my favorite was the SUPCASE. It has a good, clean design without adding too much bulk. I would say the VRS Design case disappointed the most. They've had design issues in the past with the first iterations of cases, so I fully expect them to make improvements down the road if they get enough feedback. The Spigen Case is very.. Spigen-like. They've stuck to their guns and haven't taken too many creative licenses with this case. I think that the kickstand is great, but I also feel like they could have found a way to make it sturdier. I need to emphasize how scared I am that it will snap. Hope this helps you guys select your case!

I just picked up a Verizon Wear24 for cheap. I'm a Project Fi user and would like to get rid of the verizon crap on the watch and link it more completely to my phone. I'm new to Android Wear but not to android. Is there a way to unlock AW and flash a more stock ROM?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sins07:
The SIM actually comes out in this if you take it apart enough. You can replace with any SIM of your choosing. The real problem is that the phone is limited on bands as it is just LTE band 13. Let's say you succeeded in adding bands, you would still have an issue entering APN settings as this menu is restricted.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
Without root you cannot add any bands. i did this with my tmobile lg g3 back in the day. while complicated it did work.

Has anyone rooted this watch?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sins07:
Adding bands to qualcomm you must patch rmt-storage or any modifications to the bands will revert

then you have to enable APN menu as adding new APN is disabled on this firmware.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PesSarmiento:
Since this watch was available at $80, a lot of people jump in to get one. Hopefully with time we get more developers to be involve. I'm looking to replace the bands. As of now I don't care about LATE. But I wish we can enable NFC for Android pay

Ordered mine for $80 and received it today. It would be nice to see the developers work some magic on this thing. Don't like the fact its stuck on Verizon and all the Verizon bloat on it. I can live without LTE but would love to see the Verizon SMS app and stuff go.

Modifications to my Wear 24

After a few suggestions from others on this thread and 1) my inability to activate LTE through Verizon and 2) my thorough dislike of the salmon pink bands that came with my rose gold Wear 24, I performed the following modifications on my watch:

- Removed and stored the original bands for a future where some more tech savvy members root the watch, allowing for a custom ROM and/ or activation of additional bands, so that the watch can be activated on other carriers.

- Bought myself some nice rose gold metal bands (20 mm) that suit the watch MUCH better (see picture #1). :)

- Used a liquid rubber compound to seal the contacts between the watch casing and the original bands (see picture #2). Once the rubber compound dried, I put the watch through the 30 minute @ less than 3 feet test (aka IP67) and it lived to be used another day! :)

As for the pros and cons of this operation, the pro is obvious: A watch I am proud to wear, and basic functionality still works as expected with Bluetooth signal as strong as before the changes. As for the cons: No more LTE and WiFi is significantly reduced (I still get reception near the access point) - I can live with these restrictions, as I always use the Wear24 with my phone.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
Could you post the name or a pic of the material you used to seal the contacts? Also, it looks to me like a careful extraction of the rubber 'plug' you made might return the ports to usability with the original band - and it seems like you think that may be the case as well?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] probstc:
I used the product Flex Shot, which is a rubber based compound, as I was advised against using a silicone seal. And yes, you are correct, I can easily pull the rubber plug off whenever I decide to put the original bands back on.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkorenko:
Hi guys!

I was able to connect my wear24 as a USB device!

The bad news is that you'll have to take off the back cover, which is not so simple. USB pins are 4 golden pins just above the sim card slot (under some sort of rubbery sticker).

drive.google.com/open?id=1da_vPsV1fDRNami-9ViJ_FH3_-VGEb3G

drive.google.com/open?id=16ceaGB6Erydf6681tDF-eHeyCicodlwY

So, the pinout is:

TP1 - +5V

TP2 - Data -

TP3 - Data +

TP4 - Ground

The watch was first recognized as "Android" device by my windows 10 PC, then changed to "LeMobile Android Device / Android Bootloader Interface" (after drivers were auto installed).

I'm new to android hacking, so I don't know what to do next. If you have instructions for some tests / hacking - don't hesitate to reach out to me here :)

P.S. All above was done in a fastboot mode on the watch.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkorenko:
Update:

I did some research on the forum and managed to unlock the bootloader!

drive.google.com/open?id=1bV7KM8SoV-eBJCdje7uyXIMHfTyVEmRe

So the next step is to compile and flash TWRP recovery via fastboot.

Does anybody know where I can get all those parameters for building TWRP? (I've never compiled TWRP or something similar before)
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bensdeals:
Great job, worked for me too. Bootloader is unlocked. Just a tip to others pry the back from the top of the back only, the bottom is the connector for the speaker. I slipped in my Fi Sim as well.

I can't help you with compiling TWRP.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flexia32:
Any advantage to unlocking now. Or should hold off untill twrp is flashable? Figures it would need to be in fastboot to flash twrp so why take it apart again
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkorenko:
Right. There are no benefits unless you have something flashable, so its better to wait for TWRP.

I will try to find some time for reading guides and building custom TWRP, but since I have no experience in that at all it may take forever for me :)
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] probstc:
Thank you for the exciting update. Perhaps the watch will someday realize it's full potential for us, non-Verizon, owners. Do you think you could post a picture of the pin assembly at the back of the watch and what cabling you used to connect it to your PC. Also, I tried the link in your post and I was not able to see anything (Error 404).
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkorenko:
Hmm, that's weird. Just checked my links in chrome's incognito mode - all work fine. I have <10 posts on xda, so I can't paste clickable external links, sorry about that. Please make sure you copy-pasted them well.

Pin assembly is on the first photo on my gdrive. As for the wires, I just used a generic USB cable from my old samsung phone and some jumper wires I had. Just connected them and taped with electrical tape.

Those USB cables are pretty much standard, they have 4 colorful wires inside (red - +5v, white - data -, green - data +, black - ground). That's basically it.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bensdeals:
Here you go... Yeah the Drive link still worked for me as well.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

The Fastboot OEM Unlock will still there waiting for a connection to continue, so run the command then connect the pins.

I also attempted a Kingroot via USB connection, which of course failed. Was worth a try.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubber guard:

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steeleio:
With the bootloader unlocked, could you adb pull the build.prop, change the NFC setting to true, and push it back to the device to turn it on?

We need root for that. Next step is TWRP compiled and installed as recovery.

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkorenko:
So, I have good and bad news.

I've managed to build custom TWRP based on some existing device configs and Wear24 AW2 rom dump from here. And it seems to work! First I tried it on AW 1.x with no luck, but then I installed the OTA update to AW 2.0 and it worked!

But I flashed it using "fastboot flash" and now I'm getting a bootloop when I restart the watch (TWRP works though).

Could somebody boot once (without flashing) into my recovery image using

fastboot boot recovery.img

make a backup of recovery partition and upload it somewhere?

Please find the recovery image on my gdrive:
