[Wear OS General] fcaminab:
? Could you tell me if the Oppo Watch 1 is compatible with the O2 esim? Thank you
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Not officially, of course, but it is officially compatible with Vodafone, so....
[Wear OS General] fcaminab:
But O2 is Movistar not Vodafone
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
I think you have not understood the explanation of post #307.

OPPO Watch is only compatible with Vodafone and Orange (at least in my country), the same happens with Ticwatch and Galaxy Watch. Watch brands sign exclusivity contracts with some operators. That's how it is. Well, the trick is to trick the watch into believing that your operator is Vodafone when in fact you use another operator, in your case O2.
[Wear OS General] fcaminab:
Ok, thanks

Got a Ticwatch Pro 3 ultra, I got it off ebay, its stuck in FFBM mode and contstantly reboots. Is there a fix? if so, how? Id thought id post the question in here as the help and advice ive been given on XDA in the past has always been 2nd to none. Any help and advice with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks ibn advance guys.
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
It has difficult solution, I do not know if it is rooted, you could try to flash ROM stock. If it is the GPS version, you can download it from here.

There seems to be conflicting information whether the Oppo will use the W5 or W5+. I guess we'll have to wait three more days to find out.

@bernarbernuli i have 3 questios, I am asking you cuz its appear that you know mores thing about wear os than anyone else.

1. Is there any way to extend the time after apps get closed. Its very annoing when screen goes blank and automaticly the app you were using get closed.

Especially when watch asks to enter lock password when paying, sometimes paying terminals need more time to process that entering password to watch is required, in this time watch goes to sleep and app closes, then i need to ask seller to restart the terminal cuz without pass it won't work. I know that i can extend screenn time but it

drain battery.

2. On mountblanc site i notiffced that it has 'last app ' shortcut. I've been dreaming about this function since i have watch,. Looked everywhere (maybe badly xD), have you ever heard abotu that?

3. Any info on double click of google pay/wallet?

Thank you very much :)

edit:. I have twp 3 ultra. Also my English is a bit(or very xD) rusty, sorry ;)
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Don't think so, thanks for asking, they are all interesting and unusual, although I'm more a fan of the answers. You're welcome, you and all the lurkers on this thread to contribute anything about Wear OS.

1. I use an app for running that keeps the screen always on when I'm training, maybe it will help you. When you finish making the payment, deactivate "Screen on" and that's it.

How to make a homemade charging and data cable for Ticwatch Pro 3 (easiest method)

The official charger cable of TWP3 unusually only charges (it has 2 pins that only serve to charge the watch), it does not synchronize data unlike the Ticwatch Pro, Ticwatch S or Ticwatch E that its official charger cable has 4 pins (2 for charging and 2 for data transfer). For most users this will never be a problem, since sending music and files to the watch can be done without problems via Wi-Fi, however, there is something that can ONLY be done through the USB cable, and that is to unlock the bootloader (previous step needed to root). Currently, it has already been discovered how to root and flash Custom ROMs, and for them a data cable is absolutely necessary. Curiously, there is still no such cable for sale for TWP3, as far as I know, not even on AliExpress.

There are users who have managed to make a homemade cable using the Ticwatch Pro charger cable as a base. Here goes the solution provided by @yesimxev from Xda-Developers forum for those who want to try, this method is much simpler than the previous one since it is not necessary to cut the profile of the case or change the polarity of the magnets.

Prerequisites:

USB charger housing for TIcwatch Pro 3. 3D print the housing model from this link at a local 3D printing store. To have the best finish, pay attention to the suggestions of material and qualities that they tell you in the store, as a reference I ordered the case with the following material and quality, it cost me about €9:

- Material: PLA 3D850​

- Quality: High​

- Filling: 20%.​

Charger for Ticwatch Pro, buy it at this link on AliExpress (€4 approx.). From this charger you will take advantage of the plate (which comes with the 4 pins) and the screws for fastening the plate.

2 5 mm round magnets, or the 2 rectangular magnets from the Ticwatch Pro charger.

Steps:

On the Ticwatch Pro charger, lift with a cutter or a knife the rubber ring that surrounds the back of the charger, underneath are 4 screws that you will have to unscrew.

Unscrew the 2 screws on the plate and carefully remove the plate from the housing.

Place the board in the case you have printed, and use the 2 screws you used in the previous step to fix the board in the case, to prevent the pins from sliding down when you place the watch on top of it.

Glue the 2 magnets on both sides of the board, if you have round magnets, insert them into the round holes on the sides of the board.

Screw on the back cover (4 screws) and you are done.

Considerations:

The pins should protrude through the holes in the case just enough to touch the charging area of the watch.

TUSITA TWP charger sold on Amazon is not suitable for this DIY, the plate is different and does not fit the case.

Step 1 and 2

How to customize ringtones, notifications and Alarms sounds in Wear OS

In Wear OS 2 watches settings options, there is NO OPTION to change the default alarm and notification sounds, there is an option to change ringtone (but only from 11 internal ringtones of the watch).

On Galaxy Watch 4/5 you can change the ringtone and notification sound (but only between 10 internal sounds for ringtones and 10 sounds for notifications), I think you can't change alarm sound.

The thing is that I got bored with notification and alarm sounds, and I did some research, I found out the way to put any sound file in system sounds without root or anything similar, it's through ADB commands:

1. Get a sound you like for ringtone, notification or alarm sound, and save it to a folder on your computer.

2. If you have not done it yet, prepare watch for advanced functions:

​

- On the watch, go to Settings > system > About and repeatedly tap "Build number" until You see a message that says 'You are now a developer'. Then go to Settings > developer options and enable 'ADB debugging' and 'Debugging over Wi-Fi '.​

- On your computer, download and install the ADB tools, such as Tiny ADB & Fastboot.​

3. On the computer, open a command window, for this in Windows type "cmd" in the start bar, and go to the folder where the sound file is located with the following command.

4. Next make sure that both your watch and your cell phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, momentarily disable Bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not activated on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi, click on the network you are connected to and write the IP you will see.

5. Then enter the following command to connect to the watch. Next, accept a message on the watch that allows the computer to connect to your watch.

6. Now you are going to send the sound file to the corresponding folder of the watch's SD Card, depending on whether it is for ringtones, notifications or alarms with one of the following commands.

7. Enter the following command to refresh the watch sound storage with the new sound, alternatively you can also restart the watch (you will have to connect the watch again). Note to which folder you have sent the file (Ringtones, Notifications or Alarms).

8. Next, list all the sounds in the SD Card of the watch with the following command, paying special attention to the ID of the sound.

9. Finally, type the following command to define the sound for ringtone, notification or alarms. Here you must type the corresponding ID.

​

Considerations:​

As it is a bit confusing for those who do not have experience in ADB, I will make in the next few days a small tool for Windows to make it automatic.

In Ticwatch Pro 3, Wear OS default sound for alarms is Oxygen.ogg (ID 18) and for notifications is Tethys.ogg (ID 20). If you want to return to the default sounds, just put that ID in the command of point 9.

For all other watches, you can use the following command to display the IDs of all internal watch sounds.

I have not fully confirmed this, but in addition to OGG sound files I believe MP3, WAV or AMR files are also supported.

Telegram, everything you can do on Wear OS.

Telegram is no longer available (officially) on Play Store, since the update to Telegram v8.0 in September 2021, the application no longer includes version for Wear OS, thus abandoning support for Wear OS, however, users who had the app installed before its disappearance still works almost normally, for example images and stickers are not received correctly.

​

However, there are still a few ways to use Telegram from the watch.

​

1. With Telegram Official​

This version was developed by Telegram, it is not as complete as the Android version, since this version (v1.3.2) is somewhat old, from January 2019, however, with this version you can see all conversations (including conversations in groups and channels), you can view photos, videos, listen to voice notes, send messages, send voice notes. It is phone independent, and if your watch has 4G/LTE connectivity, you can use Telegram without depending on the phone or Wi-Fi signal.​

​

If you want to reinstall Telegram, you must follow these steps:.​

Download and install the latest available version of Telegram for Wear OS from APKMirror, v1.3.2. You can easily install the app from your phone with the help of the Bujaeger app or from your PC via ADB commands.

If you have Telegram on the phone paired to the watch, momentarily turn on airplane mode.

Open the app and log in: enter your phone number and now disable the airplane mode on the phone. You will receive the security code to verify your identity by SMS (or in a Telegram chat, if you have it open at the same time) and enter it on the watch.

2. With Telegram Forks​

Telegram, unlike WhatsApp, is Open Source, which means that anyone with knowledge can develop an app based on the official one, currently there is a project to launch a version for Wear OS called WearGram, which will allow: to have almost all the functions available in the Android version. It will soon be available in Play Store, although it will be paid.​

​

​

​

Another projects that exist are TelegramWear, Wearable-Messenger and DainoGram , there is hardly any information about these, we will also have to keep an eye out to see what comes out.​

Hi there!

I have the following issue with my Ticwatch E and maybe you can help me (this blog is great!).

I want to use this watch with the "Always-on screen" option. What happens to me is that sometimes the screen freezes in ambient mode, and I could not find the reason of it.

The only way to unblock it is to go to the Wear OS app in the phone and deselect the option "Always-on" so that the watch can turn off.

I realized that the watch is still working after this freeze because if I receive a notification, that watch vibrates, but I am not able to leave the ambient mode screen everytime it happens.

My wife has the exact same watch (the only difference is that hers is white and mine is black) and she never had this issue.

Does anybody has the same issue?

I am forced to use it with the option "Press to wake" so I lose the possibility to use a nice watchface due to this.

I tried different configurations, different watchfaces from different apps, resetted it several times, but nothing.

Thank you in advance for all the help that you can give me.

Cheers!

Unfortunately, this thread looks like a blog, and I never had nor intend for it to look like one. This thread should be part of a forum, when I write a post I expect an opinion, an input, a correction or clarification to what is written, even a question, what amounts to a forum where everyone writes not one.

Seriously, isn't there an opinion for more than just saying thanks and good job? This is very boring.

About your doubt, I don't know, see if someone knows and help you.
[Wear OS General] Lord Sithek:
Looks like serious bug, I think the only way is to factory reset watch
[Wear OS General] Lord Sithek:
Well, I can understand you buddy, you obviously put a lot of efforts in these posts and in my opinion they are very informative and should be much useful for other users. The truth is, personally I don't feel like I need the most part of these tricks, hence I don't test them usually. But I kinda admire you and I suppose that some users take benefits from your posts, just they are silent. Nevertheless, your posts are the only source of infomation of what's new in WearOS world that I check ;)
[Wear OS General] joromano:
Don't get me wrong bernarbernuli, you work was great and I appreciate it a lot. I am just asking if somebody had the same issue as me, because mobvoi support never answered me, so I thought that maybe in this forum some member had the same problem as me.

This watch is old so it is not easy to get feedback from it in the internet.

I didn't want to offend you or your job. Sorry if I did that.

Thanks and regards,

Jorge
[Wear OS General] joromano:
Thanks for your feedback, Lord Sithek.

I already did that several times, but the outcome is always the same.

So far, the only thing that I can do is to use the "Press to wake" option and I lose the possibility of have the watchface on.

I thought that I at least I could save battery, but not.

Anyway, thanks for your reply and again, I didn't want to offend anybody.

This forum is great.

Well, I can understand your thoughts. In my case, i'm completely new to Wear OS/TicWatch and i loved this thread for clearing things up for me. Because of your post, i'm trying to build a homemade charger for my TicWatch, but i wasn't successful yet.

But yes, i wasn't sure, if this thread was meant to be like a blog or an info or a help thread.

At the other side, you explain things so good, that most of the time there is no need for questions, because it simply work as you described
[Wear OS General] rodken:
Whether or not this thread should be part of a forum is a 'he said she said issue'. The simple fact that Wear OS isn't getting the attention that it deserves warrants a thread such as this.

Broken record: Wear OS software platform for smartwatches has been in hibernation for so long that folks have moved on to competitors. It’s great to see and read some level of interest in Wear OS again considering that I've already learned some tricks [thanks to this thread] that I didn't know could be applied to Wear OS.
