Hi there! My wife bought Versa 2 and paired with Huawei P30 Lite, according to Fitbit phone is supported.
It's working..... until is not. Sometimes seems not to sync. And not sure why.
I changed Fitbit app battery configuration several times, when doing watch is working perfectly, but time after time, watch just doesn't received any notificacion.
- Is there any way watch to advise user sync is not working?
I.e. I have an Amazfit Bip 1st gen and there is an icon for missing bluetooth (it depends of the watchface sure).
- Same from phone side, is there any way for APP to be always alive?
Again, Amazfit App has an option to be always in notificacion zone, to avoid being closed by OS.
Do someone has any app to look out for bluetooth connection? I want to be sure if bluetooth is the problem (maybe no). Other possibility is Huawei battery behavior, maybe close app even if I try not to do it.

To see if it works correctly I look at the weather app and see the update time, if it is more than 1 hours sync stopped and need force close phone app. Of course you need to exclude the Fitbit phone app from battery phone optimization

Nice. Also just "block" Fitbit app to not to be closed. Just slide to do it.
Seems to do the work.

Hi, sorry for late response, but have been extremely busy lately with other things. Problems between Huawei and Fitbit are very well know, supported or not. You can try this fix: Sync Fix for Fitbit and Huawei/Honor phones - Apps op Google Play . Kind regards, kuzibri

Hi,
I have one Versa 2 but i cant pair it with samsung galaxy S7 or S9.
Any ideia how to solve this ?
Tks

Awesome news!

http://googleblog.blogspot.nl/2015/04/android-wear-wear-what-you-want-get.html
Awesome news! Wifi support, drawing emoji's, et cetera! I'm excited!
I'm curious. Does the moto 360 have a wifi antannae? Also every article I've read gave a different date of release. Some said Friday, others said in next few weeks, while a few said today
I suppose the link you provided is likely the more reliable one. But still I want it now
The Moto 360 will support wifi! Motorola blogged about it somewhere. Just as all the others except for the G watch
Why not the G Watch with the same Snapdragon 400 as the other watches? (except the moto)
I found it in a thread somewhere, that was the only difference. The chip supports it, but the hardware antenna isn't there. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the thread again
They can tell us the phone and watch do not necessarily need to be tethered by bluetooth, they will enable WiFi.
They will allow stand alone apps.
Two questions when ?
Next month or in 6 months ?
And
How will it effect battery life.
No Android Wear Smart Watch I seen, it that great with battery life.

The Moto 360 does have Wifi and the new update will support it. Here's the info, straight from Motorola: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.kr/2015/04/moto-360-its-time-for-update.html?linkId=13654909

I think only the LG G watch doesnt have Wifi (of all the wear based watches)
I just received a android wear app update which include wifi syncing options and the most awesome change - Polish language!

Can you post pictures of the WiFi settings?? Also, you have the G watch R? I though the LG Urbane was suppose to get it first.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Here you go:
In English:
''Enable synchronization with cloud to synchronize data from phone and watch through Wifi"
It's only app on phone update. Like google said LG Urbane will get firmware update first.
But keep in mind that Urbane have the same harware as G Watch R so maybe delay will be very short
Now If only we could get support for google voice call notifications and sending sms through a google voice #
I've got great information for polish users of Android Wear - new update will give us a polish language firmware for our watches, at last! Look at the very begining of this video: https://youtu.be/uKlvl6Wrch4

The C2DMHandlerThread wakelock

Ah, wakelocks, the eternal scourge of Android.
Seeing few bothersome on my Mate 9 Pro EU (LON-LC432B139), but the "C2DMHandlerThread"-one is always there, chugging away.

Not much info to find on it by Googling. Seems its probably related to chat apps. Anyone else seeing the same on their 9s and 9 Pros?
Mac
Could it be WhatsApp? It has been killing my battery lately

Haven't got WhatsApp. Just FB Messenger, Skype and Hangouts.

This is top of the list for me too. Using the same apps I've been using on recent phones. Only getting about 30% deep sleep because of this. Anyone else?
Googling the wakelock it seems its only Huawei devices?
My phone is MHA-L09C185B156
I just googled it :
So what is C2DM ? It is a server push mechanism provided by Google so that 3rd party applications can push messages to their applications on Android devices.
I saw that too, but the phone set up in exactly the same way as many other devices in the last year. So strange the only google results for C2DMHandlerThread that come up are for EMUI/Huawei. Getting rid of Whatsapp didn't work I'll try Telegram now (thought I have all notifications/active service etc turned off for Telegram)

In the past years there was no Android 7 nougat
Sorry i don't know what cause it but seems all push service is eating the battery.
I think sometimes if you enable the option to close apps when screen is off ,can have side effects.
Instead of improving the battery it drain more because lot of services are starting again.
That's true this is my first Nougat experience. Still strange that the only mention online is Huawei related. I'm getting bad standby here even with great signal I thought this might be the cause.
Any way to stop this service without closed?I'm rooted and this is the only wake lock that's driving me nuts
POSSIBLE FIX: Using disable service go to android system and disable "Push service"
not sure what the repercussions are, seems to be fixed.
Edit doesn't work, its a huawei service so ill keep it disabled.
Anyone figure out what was causing this? I've got a huawei P9 B386 with this wakelock chewing battery. Down from 40 hours battery to 12 because of it. Keeps my phone permanently awake.

Just got a gear S3 and got some questions!

Just got one for a father's day gift and I've been using the watch for the past week. Love it, but can't stop feeling that I'm not using it to its full potential. Thought maybe if I got some questions answered here, I would feel better.
1. what's the GPS, Wifi options for on the watch? I don't have GPS on right now, but Wifi is enabled. Not sure what app uses it, but I thought everything was connected to the phone through BT, so didn't need additional connections on the watch. Can someone clarify?
2. The weather app that's pre-installed is slow to refresh...meaning when I travel from city to city, I want to know what the weather is like in the next city (current temp, etc.), but can't for the life of me figure out how to manually refresh current location?
3. I only can read the last message in a string of text messages....is there no way to look at all unread on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Gps: use for workout apps, tracking distance, Mapping, directions. Wifi in case you don't have phone nearby-can use Wi-Fi service where you are. The Gear S3 can operate on its own, without having to be connected to the phone.
Weather app- well you can manually refresh it and it should update when you so that. Also many weather apps available for it.
Messages - you should be able to scroll up once you click on the person, to see previous messages.
It can be a stand alone phone-if you left your phone at home and it's on, you can use the watch as a phone and receive and make calls on it, as long as it was Bluetooth connected to the cell phone before you left.

For multiple message...I always see the number of unread message in a Circular icon at the bottom of the notification...I click on it...and all the messages are scroll-able.

Baby monitor app & notifications not working for deaf user

Hi all,
I'm deaf and recently had a newborn baby - the existing baby monitors for deaf people aren't very effective and due to the massively thick walls of our house, the monitor range only reaches less than 15% of our house and have no coverage in the kitchen & living rooms, the two most important rooms. So I'm looking into using an old smartphone with a baby monitor app. I've found Dormi which seems to work OK, and it shows up notifications in my phone's notification bar, however, nothing comes into the Gear, it keeps saying "No notifications received". I tried a test Whatsapp message and the notification comes up OK, and all other notifications works fine. I've double checked the settings and it shows that the baby monitor app notification for the Gear is enabled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hey,
I noticed that the notification sync is not always that good and not all notifications are supported.
Notification cannot have the "Ongoing" status (ex. charging your phone) and need to be cancellable (be able to swipe the notification in order to close it).
It seems that the app you are using does not comply with those rules.
You could contact the developers and ask to support the gear OR you could create a flow or task in something like "Automate" to listen for the notification and automatically create a new notification that does sync to the watch.
Regards,
Davey

Maybe can check at your Samsung Gear App-->settings-->notifications-->manage notifications-->dormi is turned on.

Thanks for this! I've already double checked this - it's already enabled and working. Tried turning it off and on again, no change. Thanks for your reply!

12.1.1.0: Android auto not working, turn off chat bubbles

On new update 12.1.1.0: Android Auto is not working. Just a black screen. I tried re-installing the app. Android Auto was previously working for me (but would never launch apps like Spotify and TuneIn radio, had to start on my phone screen)
How to turn off the chat bubbles? I am using Textra SMS app.

I have the same issues with Android Auto. Tried everything I can think of including playing with permissions, Usb debugging and even hard resetting the phone post update to 12.1.1...however nothing works. I hope Xiaomi will push an update otherwise might have to get another phone.
Ah, I started a new thread on another subforum, I should have followed up with this one, do any of you get this strange popup too?

No I'm not getting that popup. First time using AA too it asks if I wanted to use this USB device for AA, I press yes, but still doesn't work.
Decided to sell the 10 Ultra and get a Fold 2 instead. Lesson learned.

Right? I'm probably selling for OnePlus 9 pro. It especially sucks that no native Chinese/Global phones get good 4G or 5G in USA due to no support for band carrier aggregation.
