[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Desmanto:
I try google voice search, the one which we swipe from left to right, then tap the mic icon. Try your wordings, the recognized words is exactly correct. However I don't use google home, so it tells me that I haven't setup any device. The voice command is working fine here. It can be your environment is too noisy. Since I believe the watch's mic is somewhat inferior compared to phone's, it will catch more noise.

I don't use google search, not so much also at my phone. If I use input speech from wear, after the voice command, I still have to confirm before use it as input. That's why I find it not convenient.

For perfomance and efficiency, sure it is tricky. Since I don't have problem with current perfomance, I generally prefer more to the efficiency. when there is a new SoC, which is advertised as 40% more powerful OR 50% more efficient; this usually mean only one of them. So either choose same battery life but with 40% more perfomance; OR same perfomance but with 50% more battery life. Sure, there should be balance, as there is always minimum power draw overhead.

When I mention efficiency first, I expect them to tweak the governor starting from the same perfomance with the maximum efficiency first, then start working to increase the perfomance up to the point of diminishing return. Rather than prioritizing maximum perfomance first (as most phone currently do, to compete with others) and then try to find a good battery life from it. WearOS currently need more battery life than perfomance. Many potential users ended up buying other non WearOS watch, primarily because the wearOS ones have such a bad battery life compared to the other proprietary OS which can last for weeks.

Check if you are using the same software version as mine.

I am using Ticwatch E, at the about - version

Wear OS 2.12

Home App 2.31.0.284190117

Google play services 19.8.31

Android OS 8.0.0

Security patch August 1, 2018

Gesture : Tilt-to-wake and Touch-to-wake

Wifi off, location off, bluetooth connected all the time to Redmi Note 5 Whyred

Britghness : 2

Disable all the apps I listed (and finally uninstalled it yesterday)

Power consumption : approx 3,2%/hour and up to 4-5%/hour during moderate notification. Airplane mode 2,5%/hour

My typical daily usage only use about 4-5%/hour. So 20-24 hours is possible. I have a flow which run hourly and half-hourly during off office hour, which show lists of learning words. The widget usually show up for 10 seconds (if I notice it directly), but sometimes can be longer. This also doesn't drain that much. It is usually the notification that drain more.

I usually charge it at night and i never use it until low bat. Less than 50%, I usually plug it already if it is convenient to do so. This ensure even if I miss the charging, i still have some juices left. It is also better for the battery longevity. My phone can last the other day even if miss the charging, so I expect at least the same.

I wear the watch to sleep, as it is my alarm. As I wake up, usually it is between 60-70%. I put it to charge at the morning to bump the battery life a bit, to ensure it lasts, even If I go home late. Sometimes I charge it to full before go to sleep, and it will last until tomorrow night without morning charge. So either way, it is twice a day and sometimes more.

Even 3%/hour is still too much. My RN5 consume only 0,5%/hour during standby. I would expect the efficiency gap still can be optimized more. Probably because current latest wear SoC still on 28nm, while at the phone we already going 7nm. I know there are minimum power draw, different form factor, battery capacity and others. But I still see a lot of room for improvement in the battery life here.

I never do full reset until now, already using for 8 months. If I need to, then a simple copy paste of the command is enough. You can combine the command by using &&, so it is one line paste and waiting it until done all.

I have searched for various watchface. But the built-in one has the button that I want. I reserved at least one for Automagic shortcut. I also need seconds ticking. So I usually stick on "Element Pointer" or "Colorful". And as you may have guess, watchface doesn't bloat so much. So for this ticwatch app, I made the exception. The benefit outweigh the bloat.
