Has anyone else been able to get Sleep As Android installed on this device? I have the paid version on my Pixel 3XL, but the app doesn't show up in the play store under "Apps on your phone" on the watch, nor does it find the app when I search the play store on the watch. Sleep As Android on my phone does connect to the watch over bluetooth and is able to report data when I use the "test sensor" feature, but I can't seem to actually install the app.

EDIT: I found that the developer has a build of the Wear OS Sleep app available for download their website. I sideloaded that and it is working now. If you are facing the same problem, Downloaded the latest "SleepWear" apk from here: https://sleep.urbandroid.org/more/download/

Apparently, Facebook Messenger also has a Wear OS app, but I don't see that either. I saw that there is an old "Facebook Messenger (Wear OS)"apk on apkmirror from 2017, but that seems really old. I might try sideloading that over adb to see if it still works.

EDIT: I sideloaded that old Messenger apk with ADB and it is working. For anyone having the same problem try sideloading this: Facebook Messenger (Wear OS)

I noticed that some other people were having similar issues with this device on other forums. Has anyone found a workaround?

Are you trying wired or wireless adb? The charging cable is only built for charging, rather than charging+data. This is why there are only two pin contacts on the cable and 4 pin contacts on the watch port. I read on reddit that someone was able to take apart the cable from one of the earlier generation ticwatch to make a working data cable.

I was able to get wireless adb working. Transfer speeds might be a bit slower, but since they are over local wifi the speed is still decent. Go to Settings > Connectivity and sign in to you wifi if you are not already. Tap Wifi to take note of the device's IP address. Enable developer settings by tapping build number. In Developer Options turn on ADB degugging and turn on Debug Over Wifi. The status message under Debug Over WIFI will say unavailable until you issue the adb connect command. On your computer, issue the command:

adb connect 192.168.0.100:5555

... replacing 192.168.0.100 with your own IP. ":5555" indicates the port number and 5555 should be the default.

Once you issue the command, you should be asked to approve the connection on your watch. Allow the connection (There should be an option to Always Allow from that particular computer). Look back on your watch to see if the Wifi Debugging status has changed from "Unavailable" to something else. It should now list an IP address and what seems to be a device ID or something. Now you should have a working ADB connection. By default wireless adb device authorizations will be revoked after a week or so. There is another toggle in Developer Options to disable this to preserve the authorizations, if you don't want to go though these steps often.

Now you should be able to issue adb commands. Maybe try adb devices to see if it lists your device.

Thanks for your input, friend.

The watch does not ask ever to allow the connection, which is the odd thing.

Could have to do with my ADB setup on the computer, I'll look into it.
[Other SmartWatches] synesthete:
Ah, okay. It was kind of finicky for me at first and I am not sure what made it suddenly work. It might have been thatI had to switch my computer over to my 2.4GHz wifi connection so that they were on the same local connection. I do remember having to fiddle with it for a bit to get it working. I would suggest turning Always-On Display on while doing it to make sure the watch is "awake". Sometimes it can take a while for the watch to prompt me (maybe up to 45 seconds). I am on macOS which never needs drivers installed for adb connections, but I know that sometimes extra drivers are necessary for Windows to connect to some devices. The only other thing I can think of is maybe make sure your ADB is up to date with the latest SDK with Android Studio.

Good luck. Hope you get it working. :)
[Other SmartWatches] kipue:
Hi,

I got it going now, I think I was missing the prompt because I did not have AOD on (as you say). The timeout between low power display and the time for the prompt by ADB to appear seem to be nearly the same, so I finally had a glimpse of it after trying again.

Now, it's sadly not useful because I was hoping to get the DND from phone to synchronize on the watch (would really love for this to work), but the solutions I found are broken by Wear OS updates.

GitHub - rkkr/wear-dnd-sync (for example)

Thanks for your time, though! Very appreciated
[Other SmartWatches] lssong99:
Where we info about the modification of cable for weird adb? It looks like there are only two pins at the connector of watch... I just wonder how do you use those two pins as data? Maybe Mobvoi has a special cable to do this?

Without weird adb it's impossible to root the watch nor can we load custom ROM...
[Other SmartWatches] synesthete:
If you look at the charge port on the watch itself, there are 4 contacts, but the cable only has pins for the 2 outside contacts. Previous Ticwatch devices had cables with 4 pins. So the person used his cable that came with an older Ticwatch product and took it apart to make it line up with the TWP3 port better. They said they had to use tape to keep it on the watch while connected. You might be able to find a TWP4G charging cable on ebay or something and test it out.

Hi all,

I am new user for this awesome watch..got it in 4 days, 1 day more because stupid customs.

It is really great ,so light .

Just have few issues for now.Anyone know how to completely sync TWP3 stats and google fit ? Steps are different and google fit sync is always late for 1-2 h. Also SpO2 and stress wasn't measured every hours like it stated..it measure only when I click on it. Also during the night I got vibration from the watch , but dnd is on ,theater mode also. I checked ,none of notification came that way. Only when I put whole watch in airplane , no vibration..thx 😊

Hello.

I figured it out today with research of google, that with Apple’s iOS unfortunately the Wear OS watch are limited in some functions, like:

- there are no all languages support (even im connected to Wear OS app on my iPhone),

- there are no options to receive or make call direct from watch (you can only answer to the phone, when someone is calling you, but you must use your phone to continue the conversation),

- there are no options to replay on any message you receive (standard SMS, Whatsapp message, Facebook message...); it can only be readed,

- there are no options to listen music from iPhone library direkt to watch (non compatibile),

- you can install MAPS app from Google play store on Watch, but you cannot do anything with this app (only see location, no navigation options, no searching options, no route options, no Traffic info options).

So, there are a few limitations as you can see. Do you have some "solutions" for these limitations? Maybe there are some ways to enable all these functions, or maybe some app on Google play store on Watch? I searched but unfortunately, I didn't find any app or solution :rolleyes:

hi, i have a problem: if i enable the google fit 24h heart tracking the watch not track the sleep. If i disable it it turn to work.

I tried to reset watch, i enabled alla sensors but nothing

Some one has an idea to solve it?
[Other SmartWatches] MarylandCookie:
Unfortunately this is due to Apples restrictions on their software and has nothing to do with Google or Mobvoi or any other Android manufacturer.

Apple will not even allow their watch to connect with an Android device!

That's apple for you!
[Other SmartWatches] bintoito:
ahah just found precisely that yesterday....never got sleep on fit because had from day one heart tracking on; last night I disabled it on fit to save some battery and now I finally got sleep stats.....but only some..

really bad implementations between the mobvoi and g. fit aps

have you got around to find out more on how to get all the sleep stats goodies working properly on g. fit?

thanks

I've loved this watch since I got it last year. The battery life used to be great - up to 2 full days. But something changed a few weeks ago in February, and now the battery does in less than a day.

I've tried different watch faces, I've reset the watch, but nothing helps.. battery drains before the evening hours. Had anyone noticed a similar issue?

on the xda news page of the ticwatch is written that the watch should has an e-compass - got my watch this week but after installing a compass app its showing that there is no compass sensor installed.

does that watch has a compass or not?

Ordered TWP original refurbished from Mobvoi and had a bad experience with the shipping, canceled the order and got a TWP3 from Amazon, so far its been 3-4 days since original charge.

I am very surprised about performance and battery life so far. coming from original samsung watch this is a great Wear OS experience, my previous Wear OS watch was the Asus Zenwatch 2.
[Other SmartWatches] trainfire:
Is the TWP3 rootable? Can't find much info on it. The biggest reason i want it is Google pay, but i think i need to root the watch to make it work in my region.
[Other SmartWatches] numbawon:
until we get some source code or a full rom where we can get the boot.img to patch it, root isn't going to happen.

If you turn on Always On Display it at least shows the watch face. And I believe I have in the past at least had some watch face that you could configure it to display black but I cannot remember what watch face that was. Not sure that is entirely helpful.

Hi guys, I'm serously minding to buy this watch, but there's something I would understand before buy it.

On the official site, they say the watch is IP68 for swimming pool; do you know if it is usable also at the sea?

Another question is: are updates frequent and efficient?

Thank you so much 🙇🏽‍♂️
[Other SmartWatches] numbawon:
You would adb sideload in recovery if you had a full adb capable cable.

I take for granted that I made a full cable. Here is a rough how to.

I had a data cable from the original Ticwatch E/S. I regret that I don't have any of the before pictures or any along the way. But I can explain it and give you the start at making your own. I've included the amazon links of the quickest search I could do to find a cheap one, and included some links for convenience. YMMV depending on region.

I started off with something like this one.

Amazon.com: TUSITA Charger Compatible with Ticwatch S/E Smartwatch - USB Charging Cable Clip Cradle 100cm - Fitness Tracker Accessories : Cell Phones & Accessories

Buy TUSITA Charger Compatible with Ticwatch S/E Smartwatch - USB Charging Cable Clip Cradle 100cm - Fitness Tracker Accessories: Cell Phones & Accessories - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

amzn.com

I took it out of it's housing as it was a good starting point for a data cable. You end up with a little circuit board with pogo pins that work for charging and data. The magnets don't match the polarity of the ones on the watch, and they were glued into the housing so we can just get rid of all that. I really wish I had the pictured of this part.

then I purchased this one:

Amazon.com: TUSITA Charger Compatible with TicWatch Pro 3, Pro 3 LTE, E3 Smart Watch- Magnetic USB Charging Cable 3.3ft 100cm - Smartwatch Accessories : Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon.com: TUSITA Charger Compatible with TicWatch Pro 3, Pro 3 LTE, E3 Smart Watch- Magnetic USB Charging Cable 3.3ft 100cm - Smartwatch Accessories : Cell Phones & Accessories

amzn.com

I took the housing apart of the second one.

I started by measuring and drilling 1mm holes and trying to align the pogo pins to the holes but couldn't get a proper fitment. I bumped up to a 1.5mm hole and still was having trouble. I decided that a channel will be sufficient for what I need and below is the end product. I had to trim the pcb a little with a file to get it to fit in the new housing.

Hopefully you can get enough info from this to put one together.
[Other SmartWatches] munky-head:
Appreciate you taking the time to explain - I didn't even realize that the stock cable doesn't carry ADB.

Anywhay, while I was testing it, the update started downloading on its own :D
[Other SmartWatches] numbawon:
They were doing a tiered rollout and the 24th is the last tier I think, so it's just a matter of time anyway. But knowing the address of these files can be really useful if we ever get the dev scene going on this device. I can do some things, but not sure I'm quite up to getting full on development -yet- but I'm always learning things.
[Other SmartWatches] trainfire:
Ok. Thanks for the reply. Thinking of buying it and was hoping for root to maybe get gpay to work in Norway with it, but won't be buying without gpay support 😊

Thanks for the info! I have a TicWatch Pro 3 GPS that is given by a freind to me as a gift, it has a weired firmware version 075 on stock (that should be the version for LTE, but mine is GPS version), and not able to receive update via OTA (not even the previous 080 or the latest HRM2).

I've tried to contact TicWatch but haven't receive any positive reply from them, so I'm getting a TicWatch E/S cable and making my own data cable per your suggestion, and will try to flash the update via adb sideload in recovery.
[Other SmartWatches] numbawon:
Good luck, and if you end up having any questions ask away.

A way to use G-Pay in not supported countries, do as follow:

- Get a VPN for your phone. I use SurfShark.

- Disable Wifi on your phone and watch.

- Connect your phone to a supported country from SurfShark. I choose UK.

- Restart watch and connect to phone (BT)

- Go to PLAY store on your watch, and install Google Pay, and then activate it.

VOILA!

G-Pay is now working. I live in Denmark, and it works perfectly ;-)

Hello eveeyone,

Got my ticwatch pro 3 gps less than 36 hours ago and have few questions ;

1) how do i disble the fstn screen backlight?

2) how can i add heartrate icon to show on fstn screen?

3) I have chosen united states english during setup and now the native weather app on the watch only show temperature in fahrenheit not celsuis so i installed accuweather coz i was able to choose celsuis but cant add accuweather in tiles(only few preset tiles are available to choose from!) and even google assistant shows fahrenheit....any way to change that without having to reset the watch and go through setup again?!

4) another annoying thing is that i have to login to another wifi router apart from the router my phone connected to if i wanted to use wifi only with bluetooth off otherwise i get a "please check your connection" message!!

5) the 577 mah battery on this watch is disappointing......i have aod off, tilt to wake off, brightness set to minimal, nfc off, wifi off, animations off from developer options yet i only get barely under 36 hours on a single charge just because i enabled 24 hours heartrate,sp02 and stress measuring!.....thats much less than the advertised 48-72 hours!!

6) the choice of internet browsers and youtube apps on the watch playstore are very poor....any suggestions?

7) can the system updates be turned off?(not the auto update apps on playstore coz i already have that off!).

Thanks:)

Hello.

It was not a smooth journey...

I first bought a Ticwatch E cable that does not have the PCB for the pins (they were soldered to the plastic shell directly), which I damaged while I was trying to connect the pins to my watch.

Then I bought a Ticwatch pro charging dock that has a PCB inside. Connecting it to PC charges the watch but windows was unable to find it, which later I found out the cable included in the dock does not have the data pins.

At last I was able to connect after swapping the cable. It was pain in the a** to hold the watch / cable with my fingers while at the same time typing the commands on the PC, but it did work.

I tried to put the watch into recovery and sideload the OTA, but it stopped at 47% everytime, saying

E: Signature vertification failed

E: error: 21

Please see attached image.

Any help would be appreciated....

*Update: tried unlocking bootloader and wipe data / cache partition, still a no go.

Somehow my watch should be some sort of non-retail unit that does not have the same signature, it seems unless I can flash a custom recovery like TWRP (which doesn't exist right now) to skip the vertification check, my watch would be stuck at the unusual 075 firmware that came with it....

Generally on android if there isn't a specific notifications volume it gets grouped with Ring volume.

I wish it was always separated though.

Hi guys,

I just got my Ticwatch pro 3 GPS and it would be great if someone could help me find how to activate the following:

I would like to receive notifications or at least vibration when the watch loses connection (BT) with my phone (Huawei P30).

I read somewhere in this forum that people suggest Feel The Wear app but it seems it's not supported anymore for the newest WearOS version.

I upgraded from LG G Watch R (yes I had it for 5+ years and it was great) and I didn't have any problems getting vibration on the phone and the watch when they lose connection (BT) with each other...

I also activated "Vibrate on connectivity change" from Developers Options but the watch vibrates even when Wi-fi is lost, which is not what I'm really after.

Any suggestions and tip would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you
