[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fringoo:
Not sure what are the issues you eperience, but I was flashing my Google Pixel C tablet with the Pixel Experience Plus ROM just yesterday.

My Windows PC was able to see the tablet (via "adb devices" command), but "fastboot devices" command wasn't showing anything.

What was missing? - USB driver for fastboot (this can be fixed via Device Manger, once the tablet is connected in fastboot mode; just find the unrecognized device on the list and update the driver, by manually choosing android_winusb.inf file from the driver package;)

Useful links:

1) adb (if you haven't have it installed): https://xdaforums.com/t/official-to...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/

2) USB Driver from Google (I used the ZIP version): https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenomorph613:
I recently restored a second Pixel C)

When I tried to flash it, it gave me an unknown device, descriptor failure and code 43 at the same time.

I thought everything, restored the pancake display to the tablet ... Although everything was fine when exchanging data ... As a result, I tried to flash through another USB A - USB C cable, the current is not 2.0, but 3.0 of the standard (these are usually put now in kits for assembling an external SDD on NVME), and not in USB 2.0, as many instructions directly recommend, but USB 3.0. And when I connected a tablet via USB 3.0, with a USB 3.0 wire, that's when it flashed normally
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesalko:
Hi,

I have a translator that runs android, the device is currently booting to recovery asking to factory reset the device, the problem is that the device has the option to factory reset on the 2nd one and I can't go down, because the device does not have volume buttons, it has side buttons.

It also doesn't have OTG to connect a keyboard and no headphone jack either, when I opened the device I found rx and tx pins, so I connected an UART bridge and got into the bootloader, I cannot access the SBL command prompt because I don't know how.

Would anyone be able to tell me how to get to SBL?(holding enter doesn't work) or how to simulate volume down.

Here is the whole boot output.

I don't suppose anyone can help with my unit as I did a recalibration of the screen but as the dots started top left I changed the drop down to top left (think it was on bottom right) and now all the buttons and icons are jumbled up. Back in the calibration screen the drop down cannot be changed. Thanks in advance

[Redmi Note 10S] Abdullrahman_Dawaliby:
Hi people,

I just bought this phone as used phone and i found that the previous owner has changed the imei in order to make phone work on network without paying customs to ISP so i took it to a pro and he restored it perfectly but the bootloader is unlocked and i heard from my friend that if i tried to root it it will stuck in bootloop and more ****ty things and this is my first phone that has fastboot not download mode and i am completly lost so at least how to update my miui os to 14 after locking the bootloader again in order to get the official updates?

Another question: am i able to view if this phones still have an edits to system to be sure if am i really able to lock the bootloader safely?

Please don't answer if you don't know about this state because i bought this phone after 1 year of hard work.

Edit #1 : i have added a strange photo in developer options.
[Redmi Note 10S] tutibreaker:
return that stuff you will get a lot of trouble with it in near future, and save money to buy a new one
[Redmi Note 10S] Abdullrahman_Dawaliby:
Unfortunately i can't get it back and buy a new one because i bought it really hardly and now phones are more expensive than the past week due to high dollar prices.
[Redmi Note 10S] Droidrobz:
If your bootloader is already unlocked, better install lineageOS20, if you need google you have the option to install. Its android 13 so you're not losing any benefit from miui roms

Exciting news! We just launched Merge to connect Wear OS devices to iPhones.

We are in the beginning of the journey - currently it allows to control iPhone notifications and take phone calls, and we have plans for many more features coming soon!

It's available on the Play Store for your watch, check it out here: Merge: Connect Wear OS to iOS

Hope you'd enjoy it and would love your feedback and support 💙 Follow us on Twitter for updates

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Working great so far (iPhone 11, iOS 16.6, and Galaxy Watch 4), well see how stable it is over time.

My only complaint so far (and it is a small price to pay for such a great app), is I wish I could hide or disable the persistent notification from Merge on my watch that says "Merge is actively connected to iPhone". It clutters my notification slide out. 😞

Let me know if you want me to help beta test if you try to hide the persistent notification.

Anyway, good work! 👍🏻
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Hi @jsgknight+xda-developers ! Happy to hear you enjoy it.

I hear your pain regarding the notification - I'm a user of it myself and would also like to hide it. However, Android enforces that such background services would have a permanent notification, to make sure the user is aware the app is running. Currently I'm not aware of a workaround, but will spend more time researching this topic in the near future.

Regarding beta testing - if you subscribe to our mailing in our website https://www.merge.watch, I will keep you posted re any beta versions, currently we don't have any, as the latest goes pretty quickly into production.

If you find the app useful I'd appreciate a positive review on Google Play! Thank you so much 😊
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will post a positive review over on Google Play and sign up for your mailing list over on the website.

Could you perhaps somehow take advantage of an Accessibility service, similar to how @joaoapps (support@joaoapps.com) does it with AutoWear (a Tasker addon)? If I recall correctly, I think I granted AutoWear approval via a toggle under Accessibility and haven't had any persistent notification from it since, though I may be remembering incorrectly.

Anyway, I am no programmer, but I am sure it can be done with the user approving it to run in the background somehow. Keep up the good work, I look forward to future updates.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Sorry, one additional thought. Certainly not a right now thing, but for me it would be nice to be able to schedule active hours. For example, my iPhone is used for work and I work from 8am to 5pm. I don't need work notifications on my watch outside of those work hours. I know I can manually toggle Merge on and off, but it would be nice to just have it turn on and off automatically based on my schedule. Just another suggestion for future improvements. Cheers 🍻
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
You encouraged me to look into a solution and I actually found one now, and it's already available on your watch :)

I purposely defined a specific notification channel for the background notification, which on Android would allow users to disable this specific notification for the app. Problem was, Wear OS doesn't normally provide users an option to toggle notification channels inside apps like Android does for regular phones. It's slightly more complicated, but, as it turns out now - possible!

Here is a workaround:

You would have to enable Developer Settings by opening Settings and selecting:

About watch > Software Info > keep tapping on Software Version many times until a toast appears.

Back into Settings menu -> Developer options

Scroll to bottom > App notifications > All watch apps

Choose Merge, and then toggle off "Background Service Notification".

Viola! You will not see the notification any longer. Just did that now myself. I do hope however Google introduces a proper way to manage notification channels on the watch without activating developer settings.

Thanks for pushing me to find a workaround. Btw, nice idea about the accessibility service, but the thing is, accessibility services are more prone to be terminated by the OS, and are also subject to scrutiny by Google, as their purpose is officially to help people with disabilities.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Interesting idea, I added it to the list. Might get to that once we develop a companion app, but it will take time.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
That's awesome! I like to tinker, so I already had Developer Options enabled on my watch. I followed your instructions, and bam! Done, and done! Persistent notification hidden! Nice.

That was fast and easy, thank you!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Joka P.:
Thank you so much, janndan!

Your project is the reason for me finally registering here on xda-developers.com after having roamed various threads for answers throughout the years...because this way I can finally ask my own questions! ;)

Are you planning on making the health features of the Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 work on iOS? More specifically, could I hope to be able to use blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, and oxygen sensor of the Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 on an iPhone 6? I mean Samsung Health is already available for iPhone--or do I need anything else? Sorry for the dumb questions...I'm entirely new to the topic^^

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you're putting into this project!

Cheers,

Joka
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Hi Joka, thanks for your kind words! Honored to have made you finally register to XDA 🙃

Not a dumb question at all! As far as I can tell, the Samsung Health app for iOS is coupled with their old Samsung Galaxy Watch app that supports up to Galaxy Watch 3. I also tried to experiment with it myself, and expectedly it didn't quite work for me with a Galaxy Watch 4.

Regardless, if Merge would gain traction, I do intend to create an iOS companion app and integrate the Galaxy Watch's health features with Apple Health, so stay tuned!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Came back here to say that Merge has been working flawlessly since day one for me, no issues with stability or the constant connection. Solid app!

I did try several times to give it a 5 star rating in the Play Store, but Google keeps deleting my reviews/ratings for some reason. I tried multiple times from my watch, from my phone, and from a desktop browser, and all were eventually removed by Google. I tried giving it just a star rating, writing a brief review, and writing a lengthy review, and non would stay posted for longer then an hour or so. Not sure what's up with the Play Store rating/review system these days. 😞
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Thanks for trying with the Play Store, I appreciate it 🙏 You're not the first user that told me something similar, the app already has about eight 5 star reviews and none of them are showing. I wrote to Google, will update if they'd say anything meaningful.

Happy to hear you're enjoying the app!

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Man I love this app!

I did run into a minor issue that I wanted to bring to your attention. Following the latest Galaxy Watch 4 update to One UI 5, all the Merge permissions were reset and had to be manually updated in the watch permission manager in settings. Merge was the only app that wasn't working or having permission issues following the update, all other apps seem to have persistent permissions across updates. Just thought you may want to look into that.

Keep up the good work!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention! I’ll look into it.

Hello anyone else having issues with the latest iOS version (17.0.3)?

The notification to grant System Notifications never pops up on iphone.

Merge keeps trying to connect to iphone, although iphone is already connected via BT.

Hi, never worked for me, I have always had the problem you described, both in iOS 17.0.2 and 17.0.3.

(I have a Galaxy Watch 5 with the latest version of WearOS)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] isTos:
Hey Kanik0, looks like other people are having the same issue as well. I am assuming that this is due to the new updates on either or both devices. Let's wait for dev to give us some feedback.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sai_ninja1:
Hey is there any progress about the issue I also sent the developer an email about it when IOS 17 came out I am pretty sure its the phone issue they are not visible on the watch it was working well before the update also just to tell you I have been stuck at this since the beta IOS 17 update
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] J.Knight:
Strange, I have not had any issues with Merge working with iOS 17 and GW 4. I am currently running iOS 17.1.1 on an iPhone 13 and Wear OS 4/One UI 5 on a Galaxy Watch 4, with Merge up-to-date. It has been rock solid since day one, with the only exception being the permissions issue I mentioned in my post above when One UI got an update.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] yupanquid:
Hi, i had to login just to write this. I'm loving this app so much so far. I know is far fetched given that i couldn't even make it work on an Android phone. But would it be possible to ask/add the DND sync option? That would be awesome... I have a ticwatch pro 5 that's a battery like king and loving it but that's the only thing i really miss from Apple Watch. Cheers

Is it working with GW 5 PRO and December 2023 update (latest one) ?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Serbinhio:
I have the same issue as a lot of people in this thread.

I can find the iphone, pair with it, but I never get the notification on my phone to change the mode.

So it's either that Apple crippled the functionality, or that the developer abandoned the project. Either way I believe that there should be a statement by the developer.

p.s. I already tried reporting a bug and contacting them over Twitter, but there was no response.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] janndan:
Hi Serbinhio. Sorry for not responding quicker, it's been quite difficult for me to find the time these days to work on this app.

Have you tried all of the troubleshooting steps suggested in the app? Which iOS and Wear OS versions are you running? Please make sure your watch is running the latest Wear OS.

I believe other complaints in this thread relate to a bug Samsung had in GW5, which they fixed about 2 months ago. I'm currently running the app fluently with both GW4 and GW5 running Wear OS 4.0 and iPhone with iOS 17.3.1.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Serbinhio:
Hello, and thanks for the answer.

I'm running Wear OS 4 on OnePlus Watch 2, and iOS 17.4.1 (latest).

I followed most of the steps that are applicable, but still nothing. Is there any debugging i can do from ADB?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Skodilak93:
Hi, i am facing some problems with GW classic 4 running wearOS 5.0 with Ipad Pro 4th gen running on IOS 17.4.1. Pairing goes ok but the merge app can not connect nor the Ipad. The pad and the watch were hard reseted in addition to every troubleshoothing point.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] 0355:
Hi I would like to know if I’m doing something wrong. I have an iPhone 15 and a Galaxy Watch6. They pair fine using merge and notifications arrive correctly. Only problem I have is I have no actual ring or vibration on the watch when notifications or calls arrive on the iPhone. What should I set to have the watch react to notifications? Thanks
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] 2AD_Vet:
I cannot find a download apk that I can side load onto my watch. I cannot load from play store as I cannot get my google account onto the watch.

can somebody attach the apk file please?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Serbinhio:
Saw that there are updates on the Website, with new "supported" watches, including Oneplus Watch 2. But I never managed to make it work, even after I completely reset the watch. Was there even someone able to make it work, or they included it automatically?

i got it to work with galaxy 4 and iphone 12. does basic notifications but that seems to be all.

Hi all

Thought it was about time I joined - over the past 7 or so years I've had countless work around hacks cracks etc from this forum not to mention back in the day when rooting was certainly almost neccesary unlike now this forum guided me even at a young age to use complex software and since I've stuck with android. I use reddit alot but feel there's more specific and concise info on here - plus reddit has the same question asked a million times.

Im very knowledgeable on the android platform so hopefully I can start to contribute seen as I've learnt most of. What I know from. This forum.

So welcome all!

Also just as a note - currently on a pixel 7 pro after sending my s23+ back. I also have a s20FE I find absolutely fantastic and I've rooted and unlocked that although as I'm sure you know that's caused the knox trigger. Hence its. Not my main phone but it's great to develop and mod stuff on

Hello XDA,

ive been searching all across the web trying to figure out how to completely force the 120hz refresh rate on my huawei matepad 11.5. I have tried every method, from using adb commands to even using 3rd party applications like "refresh rate" - guess what, my tablet still stays on 60hz whenever no input is being done. If anyone has any solutions/suggestions, feel free to respond.

Thanks.
[Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers] Gugec:
You can simply do this in developer options. Go. Into settings search build. Number and tap 10-15 times to unlock developer options. Then go into settings then Dev options and there's a "force refresh rate" setting. I have it on now
