I am one of these 10%. I'm on TW Pro 3 Ultra. Just downloading the system update. Let's see what it looks like after the update is finished and after I set up everything.
[Wear OS General] Lord Sithek:
Did you have to repair your watch with Mobvoi Health first? Or is it the next step?
[Wear OS General] garconblair:
Yes, you need to install Mobvoi Health and pair with watch. The update on watch took almost 45 min. For the time being I have not installed any app. The watch seems very smooth and fluid. I like that there is no Google assistant when swipe from left. I will continue tomorrow with set up.
[Wear OS General] smithbill:
Any update? Is WearOS 3.5 on TWP3 an improvement? Have you encountered any issues?
[Wear OS General] garconblair:
I like it so far. There are more customization options. I feel that battery life is improved a bit. Before I was between 2,5 and 3 days with normal use, now I think I could reach 3 to 3,5 days. WhatsApp is available and working well. I like that there is no Google Assistant on left side. Watch interface is with Mobvoi Health app and there are sufficient free watch faces available through TimeShow app. Before I was using WatchMaker, I do not think I will use it any longer. There are more tiles available, so you can access everything swiping left or write.

I was often using watch to listen offline music while running. On WearOs 2 I used simple music players like WearMedia or Nav Music. Unfortunately, any of them is working on WearOS 3.5, so I still need to find an app for that. If somebody knows a simple offline music player, please give your recommendation.

Another thing I didn’t like too much is that apps are accessible by hardware button which will launch a list view (but not grid view) with all applications. So, I have installed Jelly Launcher, such a way I have all apps in a tile, in a grid view.

I disabled manually some Mobvoi stuff which I do not use, and I disabled also com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw through adb, but I really see no difference. Battery charging animation is still there so I do not know what system.aw actually does. Anyway, I have not seen any issue so far, so it’s up to you if you want to do it.

In general, I’m quite happy, it is really like I have a new watch.
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
In case there are users who want to update to Wear OS 3.5, and still have not received the update notification, I remind you that there is a trick to force the update on Ticwatch watches that still works. It is not necessary to belong to the top 10% of beneficiaries.

First disable bluetooth and make sure the watch is connected to a Wifi network. Then go to Settings > System > System updates. When it reports that it is up to date, press several times on the watch symbol in the center of the screen and after a few seconds it will ask if you want to update (make sure it has at least 60% battery and you are connected to a Wi-Fi network).

The update takes about 40 minutes and remember to install Mobvoi Health companion app on your phone.
[Wear OS General] Firecats:
I think I have seen others befofre discuss this. I have to ask what does "com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw" do and what happens if I disable it ?
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
In the third post of this thread, you have more info.
[Wear OS General] glennza:
Is anyone using esim/lte and does it still work after updating to Wear OS 3.5?
[Wear OS General] Firecats:
Cool ! Thanks . I think that is where I read it. I'll go through the thread a little more closely next time.
[Wear OS General] garconblair:
I was aware of this table. I said I didn't know what system.aw actually was doing, beacuse I have disabled it, but charging animation was still showing, and bottom buton was working as before. Obviously there are some differencies between what system.aw does in WearOs 2.5 and in WearOs 3.5. Anyway as I said before, I didn't noticed any improvement, but neither any issue.

I use sun player
[Wear OS General] smithbill:
So, I've been using my TicWatch Pro 3 on the new WearOS 3.5 for several days now, and at first I found it fast & responsive, but now I'm noticing it quite often lags, particularly when opening or closing an app or interacting with some UI element (eg. Launcher menus). But the most annoying thing is the slow delivery of notifications which have been sent via my phone over BT. Sometimes a notification will arrive on my phone & up to 2-3 minutes (yes, can be minutes!) later, the notification arrives on my TicWatch. There's almost a permanent delay of 4-5seconds for every notification, but with the occasional notification taking minutes (and some never arrive).

I have few apps installed on my TicWatch (Alexa & HomeAssistant) and I still have all the default Tic apps installed. I need to find what is at the heart of the notification delays as essentially it makes my watch useless at alerting me of important notifications on my phone.

Anyone else finding issues with notification delays on TicWatch Pro 3 + WearOS 3.5? Any ideas how to fix it?

[Wear OS General] bikerhammer:
How do I debloat (and install apps via adb) the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra after the update to Wear 3.5? The normal way doesn't work anymore.....
[Wear OS General] garconblair:
For me it is exactly the same way as before. I enabled developer options, I enabled USB debugging / debugging over WiFi and it works.
[Wear OS General] bikerhammer:
For me not. Because there ist another port.....
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Yes, that's right, now you have to pair first before connecting.

Read the first post in the following link and follow the steps to connect. Once you pair you no longer need to enter the port, you will connect as usual, even without "adb connect 192.168.1.XXXX tool."

Not to mention that the Pixel Watch 3 will supposedly tout a battery capacity of 307mAh, up just 3mAh from the Pixel Watch 2, which was a 10mAh improvement over the original Pixel Watch's 294mAh battery.

Even though Wear OS 5 will be based on Android 14, bringing Wear OS in line with the latest version of Android that's available for smartwatches and tablets, it's more likely that we won't hear more about it until either this year's Google's I/O event or towards the fall season.
[Wear OS General] Klaerchen:
A new system update appeared for TicWatch Pro 3 GPS with the security patch level of Feb. 2024 and date code of 2024-02-28.

The only difference I recognized is the possibility to set the function of the 2nd button.

Still no automatic change from essential mode to smart mode while connected to the charger.
[Wear OS General] smithbill:
I've just updated my TWP3 to this Feb. 2024 update.

It was quite quick to download & didn't take too long to perform the update, so presumably it didn't contain a lot of updates.

The one thing I quickly noticed that was different was that my chosen watch face had disappeared. When I look in the Mobvoi Health app on my phone, I only see a total of 8 available watch faces - far fewer than there used to be! Does anyone know how to get more watch faces into the Mobvoi Health app WITHOUT having to install that bloated TimeShow app on my watch/phone?

[Wear OS General] Klaerchen:
Is it possible to download the first Wearos 3.5 for TW3Pro i. e. RMRB.231020.007 as a complete image? It might be possible to extract the old (now missing) watchfaces apk files and apply them via sideloading?
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
The full version of the image is not available, as of today no full firmware image is available.

About your second question, if you can install the old watchfaces, calculator, etc. via sideload. There are several ways, for example, if someone has not yet upgraded to Wear OS 3.5 they can use Wear OS Tools and extract the watchfaces: watchfaces package is com.mobvoi.wear.watchface.aw.
[Wear OS General] synesthete:
I pulled the Tic apps, calculator and watchfaces from my TWP3 GPS before updating when the latest update went live. Attached is a zip of them if you want to install them. I thnk that it has all of the watch faces. There is a watchfacs apk and another apk for an additional face.
[Wear OS General] Klaerchen:
That's great,thanks!

I will try it tonight and report my results.
[Wear OS General] old.splatterhand:
Is anyone here who can test if a watchface works under Wear OS 3?

I have it running under Wear OS 2 (installed from Playstore), but in Wear OS 3 it is no longer available. And i only have a backup from Wear OS Tools.
[Wear OS General] 7by24info1:
To enhance your Wear OS smartwatch experience, you can customize it by using custom watch faces from apps like Facer or WatchMaker. To extend battery life, consider disabling unnecessary features such as the always-on display and using a dark watch face. Access quick settings by swiping down from the watch face and utilize gestures to navigate through the interface effortlessly. You can manage app notifications and take advantage of the Google Assistant for voice commands. Stay up to date by regularly checking for system updates, and don't forget to explore the Google Play Store for third-party apps to add extra functionality to your smartwatch.

I am have been trying to reflash my smartwatch module that has no system but with no luck at all.

If anyone on forum has prior compiling experience and could help, I would be grateful.

[Wear OS General] qfl2023:
I tried installing Framework, Play Services and Playstore APK's via ADB and they all installed but playstore asks for permision to view installed apps and after granting it just does not start. Also added com.google.wearable apk but it did not help.

[Wear OS General] xMDKx:
hey, amazing article!

just a general question: is there a way to connect to device not using the Wear OS app? Just flashed a new rom on my phone with microg, so no Play Store (actually there is a way to use a patched Play Store, but I do not want to have anything gapps-like)

thanks!
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Hey, good question, I don't know for sure, I never thought about it. It seems necessary at least for the first use to link to the Wear OS app on the phone, after that maybe they are no longer necessary although it would limit the functionality, especially if the watch does NOT support esim. If it does not have an independent internet connection, it depends on the bluetooth connection to receive internet (and it is through the Wear OS app), at home you could use the Wi-fi (in this case it does not go through the Wear OS app).

I do not know if anyone can think of an alternative to this.
[Wear OS General] Banks59:
I'm interested about whatvyou say about internet connection on the watch through bluetooth. I have a ticwatch pro 3 appaired with a p40 pro but I don't have innternet connection on the watch without wifi, when I'm using only bluetooth, I have the broken cloud and I'm not able to use playstore, google assistant etc on the watch. Is there any solution ? Thanks
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
yes, it prevents Wear OS from close in the background in the battery settings.
[Wear OS General] Banks59:
Unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me, I protect wear os application ffrom any battery optimization but it doesn't work
[Wear OS General] 1Mureed:
Thanks for this post. Really helpful
[Wear OS General] Swuid:
Fantastic thread - thanks all

The one "hack" I'd like to have is the ability to turn-on the LCD backlight when the Tilt-to-wake and Touch-to-wake are both off.

With those settings deactivated

the AMOLED display will only activate on a key press (which is my preference)

the LCD backlight only activates with a twist gesture of the wrist

I wish there was a button or screen press gesture that would activate the LCD backlight (i.e. without activating the AMOLED display)

And finally shout-out to the Pixel watch face - just the best watch face for the TicWatch - looks terrific in ambient mode

Best Weather App I've found for the watch - Yr. Yr is a weather service jointly produced by NRK and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Looks fantastic on the watch.
[Wear OS General] beni008:
@bernarbernuli thanks for all the effort you've put in this fantastic thread
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Thanks for the recommendation of weather app, I just installed it, it looks very cool, I upload it with your permission to the first post. It is the FIRST contribution since I generated the thread (also some small contribution some time ago from user @bobybc, which I appreciate). THIS IS NOT A BLOG, it should be something collaborative, I at least already got bored of writing alone, we all have some favorite app we could recommend, or know some trick to fix a bug like Ok Google or not losing GPS signal, or you could clarify something where I'm wrong because I don't have the absolute truth. However small you think the contribution is, it can be very useful to many.

Does TicExercise app work correctly on your ticwatch? Drain option is part of that app.
