Update: I have now finished building kernel from Mobvoi's kernel source. For future reference: build architecture is arm, platform is msm8937 and device codename is rubyfish (kernel is actually under "rover", the LTE variant).

I am now trying to port TWRP from the original TicWatch C2 (skipjack), since it has official support (here). I cloned the device tree and updated it to fit the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. I'm now in the process of cloning the TWRP git repo and building TWRP itself - however, I can't promise anything, as I was unable to test the kernel I built, so I don't know if it actually works.

Let's hope!

Hi, about the PC cable I bought some time ago one of them just to try if works but after modify the exterior I can't connect with my computer... I hadn't got enough time to look around so I'll try again in a short period.

It's weird because I didn't see the TWP3 charging during my tests...
[Wear OS General] mind-overflow:
Hello,

I think you shouldn't have any issue. I am holding the cable by hand as shown in the picture, and it works perfectly fine.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Wear OS General] Gitanitos:
Ok, I didn't unmounted all the cable just cutted the appendix specific for TW-E.

Thanks for the image
[Wear OS General] mind-overflow:
If you're using a TicWatch E cable, unfortunately you'll have to completely disassemble it, because the magnets have the wrong (opposite) polarity compared to the new TicWatch Pro 3 cable. If you try to connect it, you won't be able to, because the magnets will make it extremely difficult to match the position.

I don't know about other cable models however (such as the original TicWatch Pro), so it might be different for those.

Most common Wear OS issues and how to fix them (III).

Google notifications and reminders are notified on the phone, but NOT on the watch.

This bug has been occurring for a long time in Wear OS watches, it consists in that all notifications that come from the Google app and that are notified on the phone are not notified also on the watch (Google notifications about news, weather, sports, etc.) nor the reminders that had been created with the Google Assistant (even if they had been created on the watch), it is always notified ONLY on the phone, but not on the watch. If the reminder is created from the calendar it notifies correctly on the watch and on the phone, therefore this error only happens with the Google app and Google assistant, the other third party apps work normally in terms of receiving notifications (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.)​

Google Issue Tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/188096935​

Who is affected? All Wear OS watches of any model.​

Solution: ​

There is currently no official solution from Google, we just have to wait. We can all push the solution through the internal bug tracking system that Google uses, Google Issue Tracker so that Wear OS developers hear our complaints and prioritize solutions to this major bug. Enter the tab of this bug in the tracker and give it a vote by clicking on the star in order to give it notoriety, you can also give your opinion in the issue tab if you think you can contribute something new. I recommend that you enter the tracker, it is currently the most direct way for us to be heard by the developers.​

Workaround:.​

There is a temporary workaround (until Google deigns to officially fix this problem). It is through the app Wear Reminder 2 by Malcolm Bryant (other apps of his among several others are Wear GPS Fix and Wear Installer). What Wear Reminder 2 does is that it replicates Google notifications (news, weather updates, sports...) and reminders that arrive on the phone by also receiving them on the watch. The app is installed on the watch and on the phone as a bridge. You can configure the importance of reminders and notifications (sound, vibration, text-to-speech...), also if you discard a notification on the watch, it is also discarded on the phone, and vice versa. Here a video of how Wear Reminder 2 works.​

Most common Wear OS issues and how to fix them (IV)

When you receive missed calls with the watch connected to the phone via bluetooth, the missed call notification is discarded from phone.

Another bug that has been maintained for years, is that when you receive a call that you do not answer (missed call) and the watch is connected to the phone via bluetooth, the missed call notification disappears (is discarded) automatically from the phone and remains only on the watch, if the bluetooth is disconnected (i.e. the phone-watch link is lost) the missed call notification remains on the phone. This is a major bug because it is easy to not realize that someone has called when the notification disappears, being only present on the watch.​

While waiting for the official workaround, follow the steps below and you will be able to receive missed calls and it will show the notification on your phone and watch without being automatically dismissed.​

On the watch, go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Notifications > Show All> System Apps > Call Manager and uncheck "Missed Calls".

Then go to Settings > connectivity > bluetooth and make sure you have "Listen to phone voice call on watch" checked.

Look inside the essential mode app.
[Wear OS General] Gitanitos:
Hello,

This is just what I did. I disassembled and hand modified cutting the excess of plastic around pins then extracted both magnets, checked the correct polarity and mounted again.

Now it works and rest fitted to the watch, however I may pay attention to don't move because the connection isn't be very stable...

I put some images of my cable

[Wear OS General] Gary_Forth:
Thank you for amazing job mate! I was reading this thread and tried to install proxy release but without any luck, as all of us I'm using wifi debug, but I think this is not the case. Getting message that there is no emulator found.

Solved!

I had my phone connected in the same time )))
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
I'm glad it worked, basically it's having the Wi-Fi connection working, you can momentarily disable the bluetooth and it turns the Wi-Fi on.

I am very proud of the Windows app I made and you are trying now but now I use an app for android that I love, it's called Bugjaeger, many will know it, it's not new in the Play Store. Later, or tomorrow I'll upload a post explaining a little bit about the app.
[Wear OS General] fjuniper:
I had a Fossil Gen5 Carlyle and used the Wear Strava app to track runs, syncing with my phone after completion. I have had the TWP3 for a couple of weeks, and having found out here, that the TWP3 needs help to find satellites, I installed Wear GPS and use this before each run.

I find that the run tracking is very inaccurate, missing whole chunks of the route so you just see a straight line joining two points on the map - multiples of these to make up the route. Tracking by the Fossil was much more accurate, to the extent that if I went into a shop (I'm not a hardcore runner 😂), you could almost see which aisles I walked down.

For "the best Wear OS watch there is", this it very disappointing, even if I am otherwise very impressed, especially with battery life having not done any debloating, tweaks to settings or use of Essential mode.

What are other people's experiences with using GPS? Is Wear GPS commonly used? Is there a better way, am I missing something?
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Most common Wear OS issues and how to fix them (V)

When using Mobvoi apps to monitor sports workouts and sleep cycles the data is not synced to Google Fit.

​

When you use the mobvoi app for sports workouts, the app does not sync the activities with the Google Fit account even though syncing with Google Fit is enabled in the Movboi app settings (Account > username > Health Info). Also if you now want to activate Google Fit in the "Health Information" it shows a message saying "This app is blocked. This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access." Interestingly the Strava and Runkeeper account syncs correctly.​

Who is affected In Spain witch All watches Mobvoi Ticwatch.​

Solution: ​

In early May, Google introduced new restrictions on being able to read and write data from Google Fit. App developers whose apps access Google Fit data were notified a few months ago that this was coming and that they would have to update their apps, essentially they were related to complying with disclosing new privacy policies to users both within the app and on the corresponding Play Store tab. Mobvoi probably did not apply the necessary updates to the phone app before the May deadline and, as a result, access to Google Fit has been blocked and users cannot authenticate.​

Currently the current version of the Mobvoi app is 3.22.1-1367.602 released on April 29. For now there is no solution, we can only wait for an update of the app that solves this problem, it should not take long.​

How to take long screenshots with the Wear Stitch tool.

If you want to take an long screenshot, showing an entire conversation or menu, you can do it with the help of adb and a Python script called Wear Stitch. This tool takes a screenshot, scrolls a bit, takes another screenshot and so on until it reaches the end of the screen. It then performs some image processing to combine the screenshots into one

​

Previous requirements:

Install Pyhon on the computer. Download it here.

Follow the steps in the "Prepare watch for advanced features" section of the first post.

Download the Wear Stitch tool here, and unzip the zip. It is an open source Python script that is available on GitHub.

Steps:

On the computer, open a command window and change to the directory where you saved the wear_screenshot_stitch script.

If you haven't done it yet, install the Pillow library in Python with the following command

pip install pillow

Then enter the following command to connect to the watch. It then accepts a message on the watch that allows the computer to connect.

adb connect IP_of_watch:5555

Now to run the script and be able to make long snapshots, enter the following command:

python ./wear_screenshot_stitch.py --round

Here you have more info to modify the command parameters. If everything went well, the script will start taking screenshots while scrolling the watch screen. When it has a few screenshots ready, it joins them all into a final image which is an long image. The process may take a few minutes.

Conclusions on the current state of the Wear OS catalog.

​

For some time now, on the Reddit forum there has been uploaded a spreadsheet where all the models (I think) of watches with Wear Os that have been launched on the market since its inception are recorded (and have been recorded). Click here to see it. If it is true that some information is missing, but it gives you a clear picture of how Wear OS has been doing since it launched in 2014. Now that it looks like Wear OS is going to turn around in a few months thanks to its partnership with Samsung I've been taking a look at this log and have come to some quick conclusions. Does anyone draw any interesting conclusions from this database?.

Since June 2014 some 125 models of watches have been released.

There are 25 brands that are currently launching or have launched watches with Wear OS. These can be structured into 3 groups:

- Technology companies such as Mobvoi, Huawei, OPPO and Xiaomi.

- Watch manufacturers such as Fossil, Misfit, Skagen, Casio, Polar and Suunto.

- Fashion brands such as Diesel and Emporio Armani​

.

Fossil has released 17 models with Wear OS, the last one launched in January 2021, Fossil Gen 5. The watch brands Skagen and Misfit also belong to Fossil, and Fossil also manufactures under license for fashion brands such as Diesel, Emporio Armani, Puma, Michael Korps, Kate Spade NY and Tory Burch so the Fossil group would currently be the manufacturer of 40% of the models of watches with Wear OS that exist in the market.

The first watch with Wear OS (Android Wear at the time) was LG G Watch model launched in June 2014, and the first watch with Android Wear 2.0 was LG Watch Sport, launched in February 2017. I don't think this trend will continue, it looks like the first watch with Wear 3.0 will be a Samsung.

Interestingly, Samsung launched in June 2014 a watch with Wear OS, Samsung Gear Live, along with LG G Watch, as a presentation to the world of Android Wear at Google I/O 2014 and never again. It focused on its own operating system, Tizen.

The vast majority of Wear OS watches have been manufactured with round dial, only a few models such as the Xiaomi Mi Watch and OPPO Watch have been manufactured with a square dial, they are also among the few that carry a custom layer of Wear OS, MIUI and ColorOS respectively.

Only 12 watches allow to activate eSIM or NanoSIM and thus have autonomy with respect to the phone to receive internet signal. Some of them are Fossil Gen 5, OPPO Watch, Xiaomi Mi Watch and Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 3.

If I had to choose 1 or 2 of the most representative watches (in my opinion) by each of the top brands it would be:

- Mobvoi: Ticwatch Pro, Ticwatch Pro 3.

- Fossil: Fossil Sport, Fossil Gen 5

- Skagen: Skagen Falster 2, Skagen Falster 3

- Misfit: Misfit Vapor 2

- Suunto: Suunto 7

- Polar: Polar M600

- Casio: Casio Pro Trek

- Xiaomi: Xiaomi Mi Watch

- Oppo: Oppo Watch

- Huawei: Huawei Watch 2​

[Wear OS General] Metallijim:
PSA: Mobvoi has access to Google account again, so we should be able to sync fit data across.
[Wear OS General] zoman7663:
Thanks for the heads up on this. I reverted back to Galaxy Watch 3 cause of all the shenanigans trying to work around Google not being synced. Didn't seem like that big of a deal at first, but then it just plain irritated me after using other watches without issue.
[Wear OS General] RootMyNote4Please:
I just got my watch today. Seem to like it so far. A few things I'd like to change.

Is there anyway to fix the capitalization or rename the find my phone app? In the same vein, can I get rid of the hand washing app some way? I didn't see anywhere to uninstall it in the settings.

I ended up disabling all the google fit stuff and going with tichealth since it seemed to work better with the watch faces. Google Fit seems to have even less features than Mobvai.

Big Wear OS update for the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS is still unconfirmed

While it seemed likely that Mobvoi would update its flagship smartwatch with the new Wear OS, there is still no official confirmation from the team that this will be the case.

[Wear OS General] wemnael:
I also own one. Questions for you: how resistant is your watch to indoor swimming ? Because I read a lot of bad reviews on Reddit. Do you think that swimming with it can diminish his lifetime?
[Wear OS General] hidroela:
my advice none of this watch i mean Samsung, apple, ticwatch you name it are ip68 reliable. they might survive a swimming or water activity but be prepared to have to pay for they repair because none of them will honor the claim that they advertised of being ip68.

just me two cents.

happened to me with a 3 week old galaxy 3
[Wear OS General] jmoportugal:
I bought a Ticwatch Pro 3 last week and I didn't know about some things that are in the first post, thank you very much

[Wear OS General] geek7827:
Hey Love your work! Can you please find a way to get wear OS 3.0 on Fossil Gen 5.. It has SD 3100 and yet fossil decided not to give the update and Mobvoi's watches with SD 3100 are getting the update so I'm sure that it's compatible. Can you please just raise a request on XDA from your end? I'm not a dev so no one would listen to me! Thanks in advance 👍🏻
[Wear OS General] Jirka13:
Hello, just out of curiosity, which mobvoi watch with SD 3100 will get the Wear 3.0 update? I heard only about E3 and Pro 3, bud I also didn't search much about another smartwatches.
[Wear OS General] Lycidias:
Even the Pro 3 isn't surely confirmed. I hope we get a confirmation soon. If not, I would return it immediately

Just got my TWP3 a little over a week ago and noticed "Ok google" was not working, thanks to this post I was able to get it working by following the "Remove Updates" tip, thanks so much!

According to a Redditor in this post here Mobvoi had no issue staying true to their claim and are replacing the Redditors TWP3 after going swimming with it and it no longer working properly, and they appeared to have an overall good experience. I wonder if Mobvoi is getting their customer support game together now?

How to send files to watch

without

Wi-Fi network..

Sending files to the watch from a smartphone can be done in 2 ways: Via USB cable and via Wi-Fi network, in the case of the Ticwatch Pro 3 you can only transmit files via Wi-Fi network (or make a homemade USB cable).

It happens that there are times when you are not at home and want to send music to the watch or send an APK file to install it. The solution to this is activating the shared Wi-Fi connection of the phone, and pretend it is your home network.

On the phone, go to settings > Other wireless connections and turn on "Personal Hotspot" (or "Wi-Fi data sharing" or "Wi-Fi Tethering").

Within the Wi-Fi data sharing settings, replace the Wi-Fi network name and password and enter the same name and password of your home Wi-Fi network, this way the watch will connect automatically and you won't need to enter the password on the watch.

Now, on the watch and if you haven't already done so, go to Settings > System > Info and tap "Build number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Next go to Settings > developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".

Next make sure that both your watch and mobile are connected to the same wifi network, momentarily disable bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not enabled on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wifi, click on the network you are connected to and write down the IP you will see.

On the phone, install Bugjaeger (if you haven't already) and run it, click on the plug icon, enter the IP of your network and click "Connect".

When connected you will see a notification appear on your watch where you have to give permission to link the phone to the watch, so click on "Always allow from this computer". Now in the app you will see the notification "Connected" and from the app you will be able to send files (Files tab) or install APKs (Packages tab).

​
[Wear OS General] zoman7663:

Is there another way to access Google Pay other than with a proxy? the VPN trick is not working for me. In NFC appears the Tap to Pay but the App doesn't appear so I can't do the configuration
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
I can only think of hiring a paid VPN service, does anyone know of permanent free VPN?
[Wear OS General] zoman7663:
Haven't had that issue myself, Gpay came installed on watch, just needed to be updated from Play Store on occasion. But was there originally and has worked for me, even connected to a rooted phone.
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
You don't have any problem if you live in a country that supports GPay (as I suppose you do), but if @jmoportugal asks about the proxy it will be because he is not so lucky.

To be able to use Gpay in smartwatch you must be in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK, or US. (in a few months they will expand the number of supported countries to match number of countries supported on the smartphone, which are many more.).
[Wear OS General] zoman7663:
Ahhh, gotcha. Forgot Gpay was limited to certain regions.

As you can understand from my Nick lol living in Portugal, here GooglePay is limited to X banks and it only works on the smartphones.... silly limitations of Google....
