[Wear OS General] scott_shield:
Apparently watchback sensor failure is a very common thing on the Ticwatch Pro 3 family. One look at the Mobvoi support forum will show you that.

I made this post to the Mobvoi forum and it was moderated into oblivion. Mobvoi does not want people to know the truth.

I recently suffered the same thing on my Pro 3 GPS, conveniently two months after the warrantee ran out. Mobvoi, who should really extend the warrantee period for sensor failures since they are endemic, only offered me 30% off of a new watch. I figured I had a good chance of fixing it myself and, if I screwed it up worse, they'd take the busted watch in trade since all they do is shred the returns anyways.

Having seen a teardown photo of an earlier Ticwatch, I figured either the watchback flex cable connector had come loose, or the breather valve had leaked (even though I don't swim with this IP68 rated watch I do take the occasional shower). There was plenty of evidence for both cases reading between the lines of the Mobvoi forum.

To open the case it was not enough to merely remove the four, #3 Torx fasteners from the back. It turns out the back is glued on with some RTV-like material. Very careful work with a razor blade and some screwdrivers from tiny to merely small to pry the back apart was successful. Sure enough, I had both problems. The flex connector was loose, and there was evidence of water intrusion and corrosion on the board which surrounds the breather valve.

I cleaned the board up, painted on some new RTV with a pin under a microscope (this is very fussy, delicate work, probably not for the over-caffeinated), put it back together and it now works fine. The only downside is that I no longer want to get the watch wet since I have no way to pressure test it.

If I could do this over again, I probably would have warmed the watch in a 150F oven just to try to loosen the RTV a little before attempting to remove the watchback. Mobvoi could have made this an easily repairable item if they had used a more conventional gasket, but why would they want to do that? :rolleyes:

Some photos showing the flex connectors and the board near the breather valve. Ignore the glue remnants, those were cleaned off later and were not a factor in the failure. I thought it was worth posting this somewhere in the hope it might help someone else, and Mobvoi won't allow it at their place.

Flex lead and plug from sensors. This was found halfway out of the board receptacle:

Board receptacle for flex connector:

The breather valve is the assembly found in the round hole in the middle of the marked board. That board, the IC on it, and the passives on it had corrosion all over them. Luckily they cleaned up well with a spudger, some swaps, and some isopropyl under the microscope:

Hey what kind of sensor issues did you got?

I've been seeing intermittent HR and SO2 sensor issues in my ticwatch pro3.

I've read a bunch of posts in the mobvoi forums that talk about similar issues linked to water damage...

The weird thing is that when I restart my watch, usually, the sensors start working again, them they randomly stop working after a few hours or so.

This weird behaviour leads me to believe that this is some software thing (like a weird firmware bug), not water damage...

Anyway, loved the post, and I'm really tempted to replicate... But I'm really afraid to damage my watch and end up having a paper weight instead of a watch with annoying sensors xD

(Ps.: I'm running the latest firmware, and check frequently hopping for a update)
[Wear OS General] scott_shield:
I had intermittent sensor readings to start. I first noticed it with the running/rucking app Strava, my HR data was junk. Then the watch would randomly go secure on me and require a PIN input--the intermittent sensors were interfering with reliable on-wrist detection. This got worse and worse over a period of a few months. Finally the sensors failed totally. Calibration would always fail, no HR could be measured, etc. I had to remove the PIN (thus disabling Google Pay) to use the watch.

So you might want to wait for the sensors to totally fail, or you might not. But I don't think it's a software/firmware issue. Now that I've repaired my watch it works 100% reliably.

[Wear OS General] S-eye:
I have the same problem, but additionally the second display also won't turn on. It started when the watch was in low battery and I put it into Essential mode and I went swimming with it in a lake. Then, it completely discharged. One day later when I got back to a charger it wouldn't stop vibrating. I disassamled it and there was a red water damage indicator. Dried it up in rice and most functions came back. Except the HR sensor and the second display. I already disassambled it multiple times and cleaned the connectors, but nothing works.

Many thanks for the tip. I have a TicWatch Pro 5 and exactly the same problem.

Hi All,

I have been trying to get japanese input working on my Raphael, and have run into some problems. Here's what I have done:

1. Installed LesJapanNo6 - all working/tested no problems

soft reset

2. Installed IME_31J_QVGA_F file

soft reset

-> manila.exe error, device.exe error, and another exe error (can't remember now - think it was TouchFlo3d related). Hardware keys dead.

3. Made the registry edit to get hardware keys working

soft reset (note, regional settings still Japanese)

After that, every time I would try and input something, or change the input method, I get ongoing crashes in device.exe (until I closed the kayboard).

I then decided to change the regional setting back to English (UK), and then soft reset. Now it starts with no errors, but input is stuck on hiragana and the keyboard icon has disappeared so no standard romaji input.

I think I now have to install the enable_ime_2 and/or enable_ime_3 cabs, but am paranoid I have already done something wrong (crashes etc from step 2). Can anyone more experienced hint at the final steps to get this all working?

Thanks,

Raj
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
The steps you have above should work fine, but use the VGA version:

http://rapidshare.com/files/159514259/IME_31J_F.cab.html

You might need to go ahead and hard reset before you try again.

Just for reference, I have LetsJapanNo6 and IME_31J_F on my Raphael 1.90.405.1 WWE (UK stock ROM), with the following reg tweaks applied:

[HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
default = "E0010411"
[HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1]
default = "E0010411"
[HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IMEJP\3.1\MSIME]
Option3 = "D"
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010411]
Keyboard Layout = "00000409"

Word of caution: when you go to edit the reg values, highlight the text and write over it; don't use the backspace key, because for some reason it inserts a lot of garbled text. Once you've saved the reg edits and soft-reset, the backspace key functions as normal again.

Also consider using PQzII to map keycode 0xE6 to IME; this will allow you to press the SYM key on the hardware keyboard to toggle between ascii (A→a) and kana (A→あ) input.

Other known issues: JP IME breaks T9/word suggestion, some other minor oddities.

SoftBank is releasing its version of the Raphael, so be on the lookout for a native JP ROM (which will have everything set up correctly) in the future.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ttkman:
just a shot question:

as I use the hw-kb of my xperia for inputting text, it would be cool to have the tegaki-kb as standard one. Whenever I set it in Windows Mobile-Settings, it gets switched back to romaji-kb on restart.

is there a reg-hack for this?

would greatly appreciate your help!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
It might be a problem with Xperia Panels resetting it to romaji-kb (TouchFlo3D does the same thing on the Touch Pro).

If you use PQzII, you can configure it to override the default input panel. You can even specify different default panels for portrait and landscape. Just open up the setup program (PQzII_Setup) and the settings is on the first page.

Since the latest update, when I open the phone app for the first time (or after it shuts down from timeout), a few of my favorites seem to "flash". If this doesn't make sense, I'll try to post attach a video later tonight. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to disable it?

Instructions to reproduce: Click favorites on phone app so it is first to display on reopening. Force close phone app. Open phone app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Rescue9:
So, after playing with this more, I found out that this only happens when I'm signed in to my Duo account. The contacts that flash don't seem to coincide with those who have Duo access, especially since one of the accounts that flash is a landline only account.

So far, I haven't been able to find a fix or a way to disable this. It is super annoying when I'm used to just opening the phone app and clicking on a favorite, only to have it fail because the favorite flashed and didn't capture the touch input.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keland44:
also yall are forgettin that it's a different kinda battery in the x1 compared to other phones it's ising a li-po compared to a li-ion (which is in most other ppc phones) it charges slower via usb because it's tryin to keep from exploding any extra surge that the usb gets could cause your phone to explain

the li-po is more likely to explain given the way it's built

when you use the wall chargers and car chargers the connection are ment fron rapid rechargin of the device unlike the usb which is for data transfer mainly

when you think about the charge time just think about how long it actually takes for your phone to run out of battery life from what i heard it's close to like 1.5 to 2.5 days compared to normal ppc phones that last probably a day at the most with out recharge

hope this help
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaThInK:
Err... this is not true for TP. TP lasts about 2 days on average from normal daily usage and it doesn't have problem charging via USB. Given that the port used is USB 2.0 not 1.1 or below. Took about 2~3 hours from nearly flat to full charge if I remember correctly. I have to try again just to make sure. But definitely not taking 6 hours.

I would've thought that X1 shouldn't have any problem with charging since the battery is only like 150mA more than TP. Also, if it's charging faster from the AC adapter, the same result should be expected when charging from USB port. Doesn't matter the type of battery used. Unless if X1 somehow limits the charging current on purpose when PC USB port is detected. Even though USB 2.0 is actually capable of giving out 1.5A maximum. Try to soft reset it after charging for about 2~3 hours. See if the battery gets fully charged. Some TP users are experiencing this issue as well when the battery meter only updates to fully charged after doing soft reset. Experienced users might want to try and measure the current drawn when charging via USB 2.0 port.

Hope this helps. ;)

On my xperia if i put it in sleep mode, it charges no problem using USB.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
the advantage used to charge slower from a usb port, that is until someone found out that the standard ac charger had a short across two of the usb pins, and with a quick mod of a usb cable charged quickly from the usb on a computer

however my x1 charges the same from usb or mains, I use the same cable, but can't see what difference that makes.

there are three conditions that affect charging speeds, whether device is on or not, off charges much faster, whether screen is on or not, screen off charges faster, whether theres good radio signal, if like at home, reception is dodgy it can really draw a lot of juice.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaThInK:
Just for comparison sake, I did a test on my TP just to confirm. Charging via USB 2.0 while it was on idle with screen turned on, from 4% to 100% it took about 2.5 hours and its battery feels warm.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierGr:
Ok lets clear out some things.

A standard PC USB socket can provide maximum 500mA (milli-Amperes) Current at 5 Volt. Ideally that means that a battery rated at 1500mAh (milli-Amperes-hour) can be charged around 3 hours (minimum). Now, subtract the current that the xperia needs while operating and you will get how many milli-Amperes are left for charging.

Of course in order to know how many current the xperia needs to operate you need to connect an ammeter in series, also keep in mind that current needs change depending on usage (wifi, 3g, bluetooth etc).

So in essence if you USB port is not very good and can't give fully 500mA and the xperia needs a great amount of current to be on, then the charging time can be quite long. A simple formula could be:

xperia_Battery_mAh / (USB_Current - xperia_Current)

Now the mains charger is rated at a greater value than the USBs 500mA. Actually I don't own yet an xperia (waiting patiently to arrive), so I don't know how much current the charger can give. Can someone see what is the rating of the charger?

From other devices I own (that can charge through USB) I've seen that their chargers are rated as high as 2 Amperes. Obviously these devices never draw so much current, it is just a failsafe or it was more cheap for them to bundle a charger like that. But they could draw 800mA of current which the USB port is unable to do so.

Keep in mind that while charging with USB might be longer, generally it can be safer for the battery (longer battery life and more charge/discharge cycles), although I am not so sure about this with excessive charging times in a USB port.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteWithPDA:
The usb lmitiation of 500mA which is clearly today a limitation of new pdas. Also my old/current pda the HTC Advantage has a big problem with charging via USB.

I have just one idea: There are 2.5" mobile hard discs with the same problem. There solution is to connect the hard disc via two usb connectors to the computer. The reason for it is also the current. Maybe this would also be a solution for pdas?

On the mobile hard disc there was a y-cable with two usb connectors to one standard mini usb for the hard disc. This fits also to the pda. I can try it out.

Is it possible to display something like a charging rate on the pda? Any ideas?
