[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Hi, I can think of some short answers to some frequently asked questions. I will update it with new questions that are not already clarified in the initial post. Can you think of any common question with its short answer.

SOME SHORT ANSWER SOLUTIONS

1. How can I contact Wear OS technical support to report issues and request new features? There are several ways:

In the Wear OS app on your phone, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and select Help & Feedback > Send feedback.

By starting an issue in Google Issue Tracker (or supporting others if it is already created by another user in the tracker).

In Wear OS by Google Help Community, and click "Ask now" (search first if your question is already generated by another user).

2. How can I contact Mobvoi technical support and other manufacturers? All manufacturers have some way to contact technical support, I give as an example 3 manufacturers:

Mobvoi (Ticwatch): by sending an email to support@mobvoi.com or on the official mobvoi forum (Mobvoi employees usually answer).

Fossil: On the official support page.

Samsung: By phone, chat or email also via Twitter or the official forum.

3. How can you set up so that only certain apps send notifications to the watch? In the Wear OS app on your phone, click on "Notifications" and then select "Change watch notifications". Finally, disable the apps that you do not want to be notified in the watch.

4. How to disable automatic backlight in essential mode when raising the hand? (Ticwatch only) Click on the Essential Mode app of the watch, once inside slide the screen from right to left to access the settings, and disable "Tilt to light up backlight".

5. How to use the watch's own GPS? Disable GPS or Bluetooth on your phone. The watch by default first acquires GPS positioning through the phone, and if it does not detect it (for example because it is not connected by Bluetooth) it will activate its own GPS module.

6. How to automatically unlock the phone with the help of the watch and Smart Lock? To avoid entering the PIN on the phone every time the screen goes off when you are near it, go (on the phone) to setting > security > smart Lock, and add as trusted device the watch.

7. How to get to the buttons in the corners of non-optimized apps on Wear OS? There are apps on Wear OS that don't fit completely on the screen and there are buttons on those apps that you can't reach, to fix this go to Settings > Accessibility and enable "Magnification gestures". Now tap 3 times in a row on the corner you can't reach to Zoom.

8. How to take a screenshot?

From the phone:​

In the Wear OS app on the phone, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Take screenshot of watch". For this to work, you must have "Developer options" enabled on the watch.

With the Bugjaeger app, connect via Wi-Fi, click on the "Screencap" tab and press the button at the bottom.

From the computer, by adb commands: previously, you must have installed the adb tools and enabled the developer options. Once connected (adb connect <watch_IP:5555), enter command adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png and then adb pull /sdcard/screenshot.png (to send the capture to the computer).​

​

Another method is to simultaneously hold down 2 watch buttons. However, I think it only works with Mobvoi watches.​
