Works for chinese version, not sure about other models but you can try. All that still works. Google services, call recording, disable app through adb, etc. Only issue I discovered is music stutters if you don't switch sound effects to Kirin or another effect. How to = Just change region to china in app gallery, then apply and download beta through my Huawei app (You'll see available devices, just choose yours) then go to settings and software update. It'll now show up for download......

Updated mine yesterday and can notice (too early) an increase in battery life by 10-15%. Also I like the UI much better than Android 11. All google apps are working without any issues. I have the Chinese model.

Got Harmony 2.0.0.165 on my phone waiting for update. Will Gmail and other apps work? How to disable upgrade?

Post this update every product from Google works fine without any issues. If you want to disable the update change the setting to disable overnight install

I'm assuming Ascending ringtone is still not able to be disabled as I have not found it. I hate the feature and wish they would put the option back to turn it off and it rings at full and not this BS as I have missed many calls due to this.

Thanks.
All my Google apps, WhatsApp and text messaging work just fine. Notification has changed - swipe down to see them.

I really think the snappy feel of my mate 20x is lost after harmony os 2.0... the top right corner of the phone is also heating up a bit.. its been around 8 hours since the update. What do you guys think? Will it improve?

Anyway to get harmony os on global mate 20x evr l29

Question Apps not compatible on galaxy watch 4?

Hi guys,
I have recently bought a galaxy watch 4 (bluetooth version) and my phone is Samsung S8. My friend is able to install apps like messages for wear os and nike run club from the google play store in the watch (Below images with the watch). However I cannot find those apps in my watch play store, I have those apps in my phone but they are not showing up after I sync the phone with the watch either.
I tried to install them from google play website then I found out it says those apps are not compatible with my watch. Any ideas how I can install them on the watch please? Thanks a lot!

Probably because the Galaxy Watch 4 is the only Wear OS 3 device and a lot of apps are not compatible probably. Hopefully a future update will sort this out.

It's up to the app developers of said apps to "sort it out" nothing to do with the OS

I have the same issue. Had "messages for wear os" on my watch 4. Was working really fine. The I changed the watch (other colour). So on the new watch the app doesn't show in playstore or in "apps on smartphone".
Is there a workaround? With that app I could send WhatsApp messages at any time.
Edit: I sideloaded the app and it works good. Install wear installer and follow the guide (to start adb over wifi). Download messages for wear os on your phone. Then you can choose the app at the wear installer to install it on the watch. Done

Question Watch Battery info not showing on Galaxy Wear app....

Hello community!
When playing around with my watch yesterday, something happened and the watch lost connection to my phone. And i was forced to reset it and set it up again.
After setting it up fresh, i see that the Galaxy Wear app on my phone doesn't show the watch battery information most of the time.

}
I keep getting the above error.
On the app home screen, the battery info gets updated some times, though most of the time, that too lags behind.
I used to see this problem once in a while before, but after the factory reset, this is how it is most of the time.
Even on the SmartThings app, it is the same story:
A fresh installation is supposed to solve existing problems. But in this case, it has resulted in a new problem.
I have already restarted both my watch and my phone multiple times, and it hasn't helped.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
UPDATE​​As suspected earlier, this issue is most likely caused by apps or watch faces installed on the watch that REQUIRE a companion app on the phone for certain functionalities, such as getting phone battery info.​​In those cases, either remove the battery optimisation for those apps on phone, OR uninstall such apps from both the phone and the watch.​

Wear OS - Facts
Hello community! In this post, I am giving you info on some aspects of Wear OS, which you may or may not know. All the details presented are based on my experience with Samsung Galaxy Watch4 (WiFi model), running on Wear OS 3.x. So they may not...
forum.xda-developers.com

Another unusual thing I notice after the factory reset is that the changes made to the Apps screen on the Wear app doesn't sync to the phone many of the times. This is something that never happened before.

Although I can't confirm just yet, it appears to me that some watch faces can potentially hinder with sync or cause connection related issues.
I'm keeping an eye on this and will update OP with my observations.

The cause of the problem has likely been found. I have posted the solution in OP as an update.

Question Galaxy watch 4 - watsapp and messages notifications not receiving

I tried to search a similar thread - unable to find it hence posting a new thrread. Recently bought Galaxy watch 4. I am not getting watsapp alerts and messages (sms) notifications in my watch. I tried resetting the watch, restarting both phone & watch, allowed all permissions but still not working. Watch is upto date.
Can someone help or anyone faced similar issue ?

I have the same problem. watch 4 clasic 46mm with note 20 ultra phone
i reseted both device but the problem not solved !

Ok. I was about to reset my device as that is the only option left for me. I tried everything else. Buying costly watches and it is not even provding the basic functionality. They are taking customers for granted.
Do you have only watsapp issues or both text messages and watsapp issue ?

Question GW4 + family link + developer mode?

After I first connected the GW4 to my own phone and did all firmware updates, I was able to connect the watch to my kid's phone (Pixel 4a, LineageOS 19 20221229) and my kid's google account, which are administrated via family link.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I'd like to enable the developer options and debloat the watch using ADB, but tapping the build number, some "not allowed"-message pops up:
In family link, the developer options are (temporarily) allowed for my kid's phone, which does not help, and there is no such option available for the watch.
Any idea how to enable developer options on the watch?

I have SM-R860 with GVK7 Firmware...
I am from Germany... so maybe we speak same language...
But at the moment I heard first time about family link...
And I am stupid Samsung Fanboy... so only Samsung Phones in my hands for tests...
Best Regards

I don't even know if this problem is device or vendor specific, or just a matter of wear os. But I also don't find any useful hints searching the web with more common terms like combinations of "google wear" / "android wear" / "wear os" + "family link" + "developer options" / "developer mode".
I read about not being able to access the google account on a galaxy watch 4 with family link enabled on the phone. So no play services, play store etc.. I had the same problem before I did the firmware update: login to kid's account, confirm with my account --> "some error occured, try later". So I hoped the best and gave it a try to connect the watch to my phone first, do all the updates, do a factory reset (keeps the updated system) and connect it to my kid's phone again. That worked fine, but the next problem was just 5 minutes ahead.

This is unbelievable! Today I went back to the watch's options in family link on my device and the developer options switch, which was not there before two days -- see last image above -- just appeared.
