[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Markymark:
Damn - sorry to hear that. I was super close to ordering one last week, but held off at the last minute until I could get a better sense for what was possible.

We're you able to get the play store installed, or were you trying to install the music players from apks? What happened when you tried to do the installs?

Hoping you have better luck moving forwards - would love to hear any updates.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
You can easy install the play store with adb - but it won't work. Google apps witch need to sync your google account won't work too. The Watch want to sync the account with your phone .. but it will fail. All other apps seems to be fine (telegram etc.) . The biggest problem is that you can't use the Latin Gboard so you can only write Chinese :-/

Handwriting won't load other languages.

Another issue for me is, that I need to use my phone with English language .. if I set it to Germany , the watch will be completed in Chinese.

But I can say .. I love this watch :D

*Update*

Just found the "Wear Keyboard" apk from playstore .. it works, but you can only use "default keyboard language".

Also I managed to get Handwriting working (updated the apk).
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ted presley:
Will get my hand on it very soon. Will try out things.

Update: got the watch, the chinese WearOS is really annoying, no Google app usable on watch: playstore, keep, google map and the most annoying is the Keyboard (I know imputing on watch is kind of stupid, but I want to do some quick responds if needed.) - English keyboard works partial (using the same wear keyboard above), no solution for other language.

Anyway, let hope there's global rom or some mod available, but I like the screen and the watch :).

try bootloader oem unlock

but can't unlock bootloader
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
Yep, we need an unlocked bootloader !
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ted presley:
Actually, Google play services and google service framework all are pre-installed on the watch, our biggest problem is same as Tic watch run China wearOS- we can't sync Google service from our phone to watch (due to the wearOS app used to connect the watch is china wearOS app).

And... There's not a way to unlock bootloader of the watch.

---------- Post added at 10:59 ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 ----------

There's mi music app in mi watch app store, you also need the china mi music app on your phone, can control music app from there.

Spotify control also works.

I have no intention of playing music directly from the watch....
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
It's sounds like on tic watch they also didn't find a way to get google sync working?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ted presley:
Yep, same annoying Chinese wearOS .... But it's fun if we can find a workaround [emoji28][emoji28].
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
Yep, let's find one :D

Tried to update the Wearos.apk .. but it will failed . No Idea what else we can do with a locked bootloader.

Someone need to unlock it ;)

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ted presley:
It wont do anything after you click unlock?

Because there's no TWRP or zip rom yet, I haven't clicked on unlock button (due to a unlock one may break the official firmware update)
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
It's not working .. I run through the unlock process, but device is still locked :(

Has anyone the changelog from the system update today?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ted presley:
What a pity to hear. So any notice? The device still be formatted but it's still lock? Or it tell error in unlocking?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerrett:
Device will be formatted but it's still locked :(

Didn't found again my wear keyboard apk .. can you please share the apk? :)

Opss, maybe I have mess up the apks while try to test lots of apps....

Currently I don't use keyboard, just use the handwriting one for quick reply...sorry, can't help now.

We should have an eye on Chinese forum. But it's hard to find a thread about the mi watch
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mottys:
Could you please provide some high level steps on how you installed the apps?

Another problem I have is when a new notification comes through. Sometimes the preview of the notification does not show. (Sometimes it does) which seems more like a bug given other wear OS never had this issue. Do you have this issue?

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Are you experiencing any notification preview error where new notification that comes through the watch sometimes does not show the preview? It would vibrate but not show.

Thanks

Is anybody still on this thread? I'm looking to buy the Chinese version but have no idea if anybody has sorted a global ROM yet?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] improntus:
No open bootloader, no global or custom roms
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedaripper:
What about the global ROM on the round faced mi watch? Can't that be ported over?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] improntus:
Global rounded it is not a wear os watch.

Anyway.. with locked bootloader can't port nothing, but the Chinesse Mi Watch is pretty configurable and daily use on english and also other lenguages. Just look for tutorials on youtube or telegram groups
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedaripper:
Cheers, yeah I've checked a few vids and all the telegram groups are European... So Still not sure if anybody has got the EU wearOS working (I.e English). Once that's on I don't really care for anything else.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] improntus:
you will receive the watch only Chinese. After pairing with the phone and update the watch system you need to factory reset the watch and then appear Chinese & English option. Plenty of videos and tutos.Other languages requires more tweaking. It has no play store, so you only could install app's trough adb o softwares like FastMiWatch
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedaripper:
Bit late here..you said something about "install app's trough adb o softwares like FastMiWatch" what do you mean? also do you know if NFC works at all? i.e Gpay?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] improntus:
here it is Fast MiWatch https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hoipoi/fast-mi-watch-2-5-multi

Is program to install apks on miwatch on windows

There are another ways.. like Bugjaeger app (play store) or WearOs Toolbox

NFC works, Gpay don't.

I recomend yo to searh for telegram MiWatch gruops to learn more about what you con do with MiWatch, download apks, etc..
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedaripper:
Thanks bruv, tried the telegram groups but usually in different languages and it's a pain either using Gtranslate or Reverso... In all fairness if been asking in the official Xiaomi forums and it appears everybody has given up on it due to no bootloader or global ROM available...Stalemate.

Shame really as it looks like a great watch and Xiaomi are thick as **** not to open it up? They could of seriously rattled Apples cage. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
How do you control screen brightness on your Pixel 4 / 4 XL?

To help battery life, I have read that Ambient display or Adaptive Brightness and that EQ thing too, can be a bit of a battery drainer, and it's best to just set your brightness yourself. But there's no easy quick way to do that it seems? Other than going into Settings - Display, and sliding the bar up or down to get the specific % you want.

Is there an app, or what are you guys doing?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I'm a full manual kinda dude. Inside, i'll set it at 50, then up to 90 or so when I go outside. If it's really bright, then i'll hit my HBM widget :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
I run it with adaptive brightness on and ambient EQ on. Time saved on micro managing something like brightness is worth a little battery life. I calibrate my adaptive brightness to 0% in pitch dark and don't touch it anymore.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I like doing that thanks.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Auto!

I used to use manual for my OnePlus 7 Pro because that thing was horrible with setting brightness for me. It would always get too dim. This Pixel, however, has solid auto brightness and doesn't drastically increase or decrease.

Battery life part isn't an issue for me since I don't really notice a huge drain with it on + I'm almost always around a charger anyway.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
For those that aren't aware the auto-brightness on these phones takes quite some time to fully adjust to your preferences. You need to keep fiddling it every time you're not satisfied and it will remember the setting you made, make note of ambient light, time of day, etc. and adjust accordingly until it has you pegged. This takes days, a week, more or less. Dutifully counsel it as to correct brightness and you may just find it works very well and can be left alone once you've got it in line. Think of it as a stubborn dog that must corrected until trained.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Not for me. I literally just put it to 0% in pitch black and, for me, it's adjustments to all other ambient lights is perfectly fine for me. But you are correct that it can take some time but I say within a week and not multiple weeks.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I didn't say multiple weeks, I meant the time can be days or up to a week more or less, sorry if I didn't phrase that well. Mine was about a week as was the previous pixels before it. Anecdotally it seems it takes longer if you prefer your phone brighter in general but that's just based on my reading different observations people have had of it. Your own tend to fit that mold, you clearly prefer it dim(mer) simply because the phone really likes to keep it down in the stock model so if you were good to go with just one adjustment you lean that way.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ansdiv:
So my phone charges fast only with one usb cable that i have and it is not branded instead a very out of shape cable (left one in photo)

I have other branded cables as well but it hardly reaches even 400mA but those cable charge other device pretty well but not my kenzo (:

Now i have tried different rom, different kernel , flashed thermal libs but nothing seems to work.

I also have a original sub pcb which was changed due to mic problem and changing to that isn't working either.

So what can be the problem ? is it the usb port ? or like anything else?

It would be great if someone could help me with this please
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Edgar_3101:
I do not speak English so I will turn to the translator.

Connect the phone to the computer, if the computer gives an error or does not recognize it directly, it changes the flex that goes from the motherboard to the sub motherboard, what happens is that to have a load greater than 400 mAh the tracks of the data and in my opinion that is the problem you have, the same thing happened to me and with changing the flex it was enough, if the flex is ok then change the charging port that also fails
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ansdiv:
Well the phone gets recognized and i transfer data regularly no problem with that but the issue is just with charging.

Still i just now changed the flex that connects motherboard and sub board and the issue still remains.

I guess i will have to change the sub pcb and see if that helps or not.
[General Questions and Answers] iBreakStuff:
I've got my shiny new Pixel 4 XL up and running on the stock ROM after coming from a worn out Note 8. Everything is better except the new version of GMaps. I was using 9.47.x and this new 10.x.x is just awful. I want to completely delete the stub from the system so I can install the older version. I've tried several root uninstallers, even using the adb shell command. It always "uninstalls" but the stub is still there. Therefore the older APK refuses to install. I've even gone into the root/product/app/maps folder to try manually. It doesn't work, nor does changing any permissions. I have a feeling someone is going to tell me that this can't be done without installing a custom rom.

I'm guessing the culprit is not being able to remount the system with read/write permissions on newer versions of android. Unless there's something I'm missing.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It may be having a conflict with cached data from the version that you installed, removing the cached data might allow you to install the version you want.

Uninstall the app from system partition, then, power the device off, then, boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition, then reboot into system and try installing the older version.
[General Questions and Answers] iBreakStuff:
That is right where the issue is. I can get it to the point from being a 66mb APK down to 200k where the system; or play store, even recognizes it's installed. I need to get write access to the system partition to get rid of the "Maps" folder persistently living in the root apps folder. If that can be done on 10 in stock recovery then I've never done that. Mind you I'm rooted on Magisk with the flashed boot image, no TWRP yet.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
After flashing the Magisk patched boot.img, did you install the Magisk Manager app? Magisk Manager is what is used to grant root permissions to your other apps. There is more to it than just flashing the boot.img.

You can also use adb shell to remove the app as demonstrated in the second method described in the link below.

https://www.maketecheasier.com/uninstall-system-apps-without-root-android/
[General Questions and Answers] iBreakStuff:
So I tried what you suggested, I got the same result. Maps uninstalls but still lives in the root directory. Not being an ADB expert I went into adb shell super user mode and tried the the rm command to delete the folder, also the remount system command. Neither of those worked. Trying to install the older APK results in "App not installed"

And yes I have Magisk manager. It installed the latest version automatically. I use RootExplorer and it has superuser permissions.

Would something like this work? I'm not completely clear on how this works.
