First of all, if your watch doesn't have wifi then this guide is not for you. This guide while it tries to go more into details, it requires some previous knowledge of using console commands.
According to the official google website. [1]
Not all watches have a Wi-Fi feature. Try using the directions below to connect to Wi-Fi. If you don’t see Wi-Fi settings under “Settings” on your watch, Wi-Fi is not available on your watch.
When your watch uses Wi-Fi, the “Open on phone” feature is disabled.
Your watch can’t connect to Wi-Fi networks that use captive portals, which are web pages you have to visit before connecting.

There is a way to bypath that limitation by installing Android version of firefox on your watch. However, its not enough to just install firefox. You also need to change lcd density parameter to make UI fit on the tiny screen AND you'll need some sort of keyboard to be able to input characters into firefox.
You will need to download tools to be able to connect to your watch.
1. [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.2
Your watch needs to have USB debugging enabled. Follow this youtube guide. Since UI is the same on all android wear, this method will work on all android wear watches. Note that the person in the video has a Mac. So the console will be different. On windows you just fire up the cmd. You can ignore the Android SDK and Eclipse stuff she is doing as we don't need it for this.
2.
This tool has a list of supported devices, but since we are going to be using only one function of it, you can probably get away with picking the wrong android wear watch from the list.
3. Download [TOOL] WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.4 | Unlock | Root | Flash | 90+ Devices
From previous steps make sure your watch is connected and the WinDroid tool is able to detect it. If all is good download APKs and then in WinDroid go to "Commands" tab and click on "Install App". Find your firefox and minuum wear apk files. Install both of them by installing one at a time.
Once apks are installed you need to open cmd terminal and type some commands:
To make keyboard work you need to type
Code:
adb shell ime enable com.whirlscape.minuum/.MinuumKeyboardService
And then
Code:
adb shell ime set com.whirlscape.minuum/.MinuumKeyboardService
To make firefox UI more usable, we need to change the LCD density.
In the same terminal first type
Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
cat /system/build.prop | grep "lcd"
You will then see something like this on the screen
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=280
Write down this value and keep it save in case you want to restore to normal LCD density.
To change density type
Code:
wm density 200
It will immediately change LCD density on your watch. Everything will become smaller. I recommend that you enable "Large Font" in Accessibility menu on your watch to make the font size bigger.
Now try connecting to the public wifi on your smartphone. Wait a few seconds for information to sync with your watch. Disable bluetooth on your phone and your watch should automatically try to connect to wifi hotspot. Alternatively you can select wifi AP from a list of wifi on your watch without needing to use your phone. You will still need to disable bluetooth on your phone though.
Finally, fire up firefox on your watch, try to go to any website. The captivity webpage of your public wifi will show up and just press accept/I agree/etc as you normally would. After that you can close firefox by swiping to the right. I recommend you install task manager for android wear to be able kill firefox from memory. And try not to leave firefox or wifi open for too long as it will drain your battery really quick.
Now sit back and enjoy your wifi sync over the public wifi hotspot connection.
This lets your watch and phone to automatically stay synced at any distance over the Internet.

Here how it all looks on my watch.
Sadly video doesn't start, it just keeps on buffering.
That's a great effort. I'm happy to report that we now have a much easier option by using wear browser.
I posted my experience with it here.

Yea, it does seems easier. However, I am thinking of writing a tiny program that would attempt to automatically click on "I accept/Connect" button. Not sure how to approach this problem quite yet, as there are so many different captive portals and some might have multiple checkboxes and buttons. Also, a program that would allow you to connect to wifi AP with a password without phone.(Its possible with es filemanager)
If you connect to an open wifi on your phone then your watch auto connects, but you use a VPN on your phone for security the watch is still using everything un encrypted right?

It only connects to wifi when bluetooth is turned off or your phone is our of range. But, yes, you are correct. VPN will only encrypt phone's traffic since the watch will directly connect to wifi AP. So, you would need to run a separate VPN client on the watch.(which might be not possible atm)
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am wondering if this still works with the very latest version of Android Wear 2?
I have a Huawei watch 2 and need to get onto a WiFi network (at work) that requires you to hit a confirm button on a webpage the first time you login. Can't seem to get it working on the watch.

The last time I tried it on Huawei watch 2, when I still had it it also didn't work. They probably removed some system libraries in wear 2.0 and broke all of those apps.
The Non-Root Nougat Guide for the Sprint S7
You need stock Nougat on your device. There are several ways to achieve this:
1. OTA Update2. Install the firmware via ODIN from Sammobile; Updato
Why Most People Root
1. Ad Blocker
2. Hotspot Hack
3. Youtube Ad Free
4. Remove Bloatware
5. Xposed (not right now)
6. Other tips/tricks
7. Credits
Here my tips and tricks for getting this Root feel, but keeping the stability of stock.
1. Ad Blocker
This are local hosts, meaning that your info doesn't go to a random server and then come back to you. It stays on your device for your eyes only!
1. DNS66 This one uses a hosts file, just like adaway for those of you who used it while rooting. Since everything is done via a local DNS, you the battery life it is the same as adaway, non-existent! Given that it only blocks entire host names, it cannot block as detailed as some other ad blockers. However, I haven't seen any ads in apps or browsers and no battery hit either! Just make sure the hosts files have a red dot next to them and you have to refresh before activating. Will still block ads on device even when tethering! Great support too!
2. Ad Guard. Good ad blocker. Runs everything through a VPN though, which comes at a battery hit. This one also comes with a price tag! Offers Youtube Ad Blocking, but you must enable their DNS, which puts your information to their servers and then back to you...this blocks ads about 50% of the time. Good support too!
3. Adhell Uses Samsung Knox to block ads and trackers. Blocks most things on webpages and apps (no youtube), but saves a ton a battery since it doesn't require VPN. Not as good as blocking as the first two, but does work a little. Just my opinion though. Also, it is FREE!
4. Disconnect Pro Similar to Adhell, but a paid app,but can be found for free during sales. Search the Galaxy App Store to buy it. Uses Samsung Knox too.
5. AdClear. Some have had success with this, I've had mixed results.
6. BlockThis! Works well, but caused issues on some webpages.
As with all of the above, you will need to whitelist some apps for them to work properly. Like, AdHell and Disconnect have the Google Play Music bug. If you find an app is using a ton of battery, it may need to be whitelisted...usually, google apps have this problem.
2. Hotspot Hack
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers
a. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
4. Get into ADB shell
a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)
b. Run:
Code:
adb shell
5. Enable the bypass
a. Disable the DUN requirement
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
b. Overwrite the DUN APN
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"
6. Turn off Mobile Data
7. Turn on HotSpot
8. Turn on Mobile Data
Every time that you want to use the hotspot you have to turn data off; turn hotspot on; turn data back on. When you disconnect your hotspot you need to do the following:
1. Turn Hotspot Off
2. Turn Mobile Data Off
3. Turn Mobile Data On
People will complain, but after you run the code the first time, turning hotspot on and off literally takes just seconds.
3. Youtube Ad Free
1. Youtube in the background, downloading, and so far ad free Youtube can be achieved with OG Youtube. Read the OP and also install this apk found in post 5592 It doesn't say, but in combination with DNS66, I haven't seen any ads after installing this and disabling the old Youtube. It will occasionally ask you to update and just hit Later.
2. If you want to use the original Youtube app, this doesn't block ads, but it does silent and auto skip them. Cygery
3. Use an VPN to route your data somewhere and back. It isn't 100%, but AdGuard offers this type of service. I believe Block This and AdClear may too.
4. Remove Bloatware
This is probably the biggest difference between root and non-root. They are all installed with the same apps. With root, you can delete the system apk or, with root and non-root, you can use a package disabler, you can disable unwanted apps. The problem is that occasionally you will disable or delete something that will cause a chain reaction leading to boot loops or excessive battery drain.
I find it best to go to the application manager and manually disable or uninstall through it. This way, the system will know what's there and what isn't...no surprises. You can uninstall the Sprint crap like TV, Tech Support, Fun and Games, Family Locator...basically every Sprint app except for voicemail. Not disable, but uninstall them completely!
You can disable the following (probably more, but I must be using them): Amazon; Kindle; Facebook; Instagram; Lookout; Messenger; Prime Stuff; S Health; S Voice; Samsung Gear; Youtube (remember the tip above); some of the Google Play apps like Movies and TV; probably more too, but I must actually use those apps.
I'm sure there are some that I'm missing too....I remember uninstalling some weather app too.
The point is that Nougat seems friendlier in terms of uninstalling or disabling software compared to Marshmallow.
5. Xposed (not right now)
Not available for Nougat at the moment. But this update is really customizable!
6. Other tips/tricks
1. Skip Tracks With Volume Keys
1. Frinky Music Controller Allows you to skip tracks with screen off.
2. Noyze Not sure if still being developed, but works. Let's you skip tracks by long pressing with screen off.
Doze Related
Remember to whitelist apps you want running in the background...like Pandora, Google Music, etc. I would leave them off at first and if it cuts off when the screen is off, you need to white list it.
I haven't used these apps in Nougat as the new doze seems fine, but to each his own:
1. ForceDoze puts your phone into doze mode without the motion detectors and 30 minute wait. Great app! Does require you to install adb (adb installer) since you have to run a command to get it to run properly. Check Disable motion sensing and turn off while charging
2. Greenify The auto hibernation works great if we had root, but we don't. It works, but can be extremely annoying at times and can drain battery because it may continuously try to force stop/close an app you greenify. Plus, it will take a few seconds to re-unlock your phone immediately after you turn off the screen. However, I use it with force doze for the aggressive doze. I saw a difference in battery life by using them both. Still need to adb a command
Other Tips
Besides the obvious of gmail/facebook/whatspp/twitter/snapchat syncing
1. Turn off wi-fi scanning
2. Back up my data for Samsung and Google under back up and reset
3. Turn off some features under advanced features in settings...for example, palm swipe to capture if you never use it
4. Location History under Location
5. Change locating method...I leave mine on GPS, wi-fi, mobile, but some people want more battery life and turn it off.
6. Turn on developer options and change animations to 0.5
7. Turn off Always on Display under settings > display. I like it, so I leave it on...but takes about 2% an hour

Awesome. And you should be able to use phone data with this method while tethering too. @paul2112 did most of the legwork for this fix.

Ok, I'm lazy. Is there a single button method for the toggling for hotspot? I'm using my phone as a hotspot for a tablet thats installed in my car and so being quick is important. I'm trying to build something using "Automate" app but does anyone have something already configured?
fyi, actually just turning on hotspot or off now does the trick. No need to toggle mobile network on/off. I'm on Sprint.
I can confirm Hotspot last through new android update/dated 3/29 heres a screen shot
new update 5/31/17 hotspot non root method sticks and works fine. id like to offer a new method and give thanks to the guy that found it maybe you can incorporate this into your guide so easy a caveman can do it lol

Thank you so much for this guide! It's been the only successful method to get unlimited hotspot working on my S7 & a friend's S7 Edge! (both stock & most recent firmware) :good:
When using this method, I achieve hotspot as mentioned....but loose ipv6 by doing so!? Any ideas on why or how to fix so when I toggle data/hotspot I can keep ipv6 connectivity, thanks
I'm looking into buying one of the LG OLED TVs but am not familiar with the WebOS app platform LG uses.
Is it possible to manually switch between country settings to install apps not available on a specific market? Can you somehow combine and run apps from different countries at the same time?
For example, is there a way to download Hulu from the US alongside the BBC iPlayer from the UK?
Yeah I want to know as well.
Since I can't watch the world up in 4k since I'm in US
if there is the will.
On an old LG TV I got something like that working.
I used a VPN to change my location. Then went to the TV settings ( somewhere like about tv or setup ) and have to change the location there. Then I could download and play stuffs out of region. When I changed back those apps didn't work or were gone. But switching back ( out of region ) the apps of that region showed back up.

Not possible on newer ones. I tried using VPN on router level so all my devices including the LG TV were showing the US as location (ip-score.com) including the LG TV Browser, however I couldn't install HULU, VUDU, etc. Restriction on my TV is actually the market it's made for, in this case UK and EU.
When I change location to SPAIN or some other country (no VPN needed) i get some extra apps, but originally I wanted HULU. Never succeeded.

Download AnyRemote app on your smart phone - Make sure your phone has IR Blaster function on it.
Select your LG TV remote and jump to EzAdjust - Service Menu will appear on your TV after you enter the Password: 0143
Then change the Area Code to 1793 for USA
Exit EzAdjust
Change Location to USA on the LG TV Settings Menu and the TV will Reboot
If you open the LG TV Content App, you will see the USA Apps for downloading Hulu & other required apps.
This will also have apps previously downloading running and working in addition to the new downloaded.
If you see that the Voice Accessibility has activated itself upon setting the Location as USA, please repeat the same steps above to re-set the Area Code back to the same old one, once you have finished downloading all the apps from the current (new) setting.
Please let me know if this helped

The above, with modifications, sort of works. It may not be a permanent solution. Here's what I did with my UK LG TV running Web OS 4.
1) The EZAdjust passcode is 0413, not 0143.
2) Take a note of your home region code. To change to the US, I changed the area code to 1843. You should see the region change to "US".
3) This is important - after changing the area code, open the LG app content store and accept the policy agreements.
4) Then change the Location from the LG Settings to the US. Deselect Automatic selection and manually select the US. This will bring up a dialogue box about needing to change the policy agreements and restart the TV by choosing "Yes". Go ahead and choose "Yes". Hopefully the location will switch to the US without restarting the TV. The reason this matters is that if the TV restarts, the Location reverts to "Others", which makes the content store a region-neutral store that does not have the US apps. Step 3, where you open the content store before changing the location, appears to prevent the TV from restarting. If the TV restarts anyway, open the content store again, then change the location to the US. Hopefully this won't result in a restart.
5) Now go back to the content store. When the store loads, you should have access to the US apps. You may get a "No content" message. Just hit ok and open the store again.
6) Do NOT change the region back to your home region using EZAdjust. Leave it on the US.
The problem with retaining permanent access to the US apps is that restarting the TV makes the location revert to "Others". Trying to access a US app after this happens will result in a message along the lines of "this app is no longer available from the service provider", and the TV will automatically delete the app. Perhaps ensuring that the Quick Startup option is on will help, as this puts the TV in standby mode when you turn it off. If the TV does restart and the location changes, you'll need to repeat steps 3) - 5). It may not be possible to prevent a restart at some point, unless you never turn the TV off.
Also bear in mind that even if you've installed a US app, you'll still need a DNS/VPN to actually use a streaming video service.
Anyone know if google assistant / alexa is an app that can be sideloaded into the TV.
I have the 43uk6200PCA which, in the US, has these apps out of the box?
Based on the online specs WebOS is 4.0 and has the same quad core processor.

Just signed up to say thanks for the detail walkthrough @Rooksx! It was spot on for me. I have a Japanese bought Oled C7p. Unfortunately, even in stand by mode, once I turn the tv off and on again, it deletes the US Vudu and Hulu apps which sucks. You have anymore luck?
Interestingly, all though the tv deletes many of the apps I download from other country stores, it does seem to keep a few on there. Even after turning the tv off and on at the wall, my Japanese lg still keeps BBC IPlayer, us sling tv and Australia’s Stan apps. Wonder why that is? Not complaining though.
Thanks again for the great walkthrough dude. Appreciated.

Glad to hear it's kinda worked. Have you definitely turned on Quick Startup? This seems to be the key for me as for a week now, my TV location has remained the US even after turning the TV off and on. Maybe check if there are any other options that could be more thoroughly shutting your TV's functions down.
No idea why some apps are retained. I was expecting BBC iPlayer to be automatically deleted when I changed location to the US but it still works fine. It does beg the question though of whether the app will update while my location is the US.
Just switched my OLED C7 TV to USA from UK and I cant get rid of the voice assistant (narrator) thing. I have to revert back to UK for it to go away but then the US apps stop working after a bit. Can anyone tell me if you have experienced it and if so if there is a way to tweak it? I really want to be able to use the hulu app.
Has anyone been able to successfully change to US, keep the apps running and not face the narrator issue?
I tried and i always get the narrator. I have a 75SK8000PTA WebOs 4.10.
Any reply highly appreciated.
I changed from tv menu content from lg store to UK, installed rakuten and YouTube Kids ( not aviable for my country), reverted back to others and app are still there after restart. Lg oled55b8.

Thanks, but I checked for that a million times, that option just wasn't there in C7 when set to USA. :/
I have a clear question if somebody could kindly answer;
Is it possible to change the Area Code to USA and edit the options so to set Broadcast country to another (e.g. Australia) and Services country to USA?
Could this be achieved via the continent index value?
Thank you,
John
Anyone?
This is an important step as it will allow to use your original country for broadcast services and hence you will get your DTV channels and then have the country of choice (USA) for the content services.
I tried with EZ_ADJ menu to change the continent item but couldn't edit the entry.
Could this be an In-Start menu item edit?
Thank you,

Corrupted OS due to Change in region
I happened to have switched my TV from UAE to UK then to USA. This seems to have made my location-> lg Services Country stuck on loading and thus nothing else seems to work on the TV is there a way to fix this. Does anyone have a firmware file they can share to reset this tv because even resetting tv to initial settings does not work. The IR blaster is unresponsive and thus cant set this manually. Any advice
Good afternoon,
Making change to the EEUU, could you install alexa in a Oled65C8-pla and switch back to europe (spain) being able to control the TV with alexa?
In Europe Oled65C8 does not have alexa but in the EEUU it does have...
Thanks
On most android phones you can disable locking when specified devices are attached via Bluetooth.
I have multiple bt devices connected and functioning ok. However, when I go into the settings and select the smart lock category / button / option the entire settings app crashes back to launcher.
Had anyone wise succeeded with this feature?

It's working for me. I have smart lock enabled when connected to my car...
Did you de-bloat anything through adb as shown in other posts? Maybe it kills something off that is required?

No, I have done nothing to my phone. Its how it came from Hong Kong.
I just went to settings/security and privacy/screen lock & passwords/smart unlock.
Once I put my PIN in I just selected the Bluetooth device (my car) to use with smart unlock.
Be aware that you have to be connected to said Bluetooth device before you can select it for smart unlock....
I don't even get the list, just goes back to desktop. Time for another reset I guess
Has anyone noticed that once connected to another device through wifi direct the wife direct shortcut is missing when you go to share what ever file or photo you selected? Was fully functional about 2 updates ago and not sure what happened with the system or an error on my side with maybe one of the recent updates. I do have the Android 11 and One UI 3.0. Just don't want to go through a factory reset if it is something I am missing or a setting I can change to fix it. Still fully capable of connecting to other devices through wifi direct but no option to share through that feature.
