Android Wear Companion App Removes Debugging! - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is some bad news as far as I'm concerned. What is Google thinking?

For me, "Debugging via Bluetooth" is still visible.
Maybe developer options has to be active on your phone?

Where does one acquire the new companion app?

It hasn't come out. And Google already added it back in

Just tested again, debug must be enabled on phone. The setting in the wear app will get visible then

Help Pairing the OUKITEL A28

Ok so I am no dummy. I have an LG G Watch on my LG G4. I am having a problem pairing *COMPLETELY* my Oukitel A28 with the MediaTek Smart app.
I tried this on the LG G4 and LG G2 (thinking because I have my LG G Watch/G4 might be causing the problem). I paired the phone. It is connected. It synced the contacts. I downloaded the App and went through the motions of selecting notification access and bla bla bla.
But the App never connects. All I see is "connecting..." I deleted the BT profile and tried to load this up multiple ways but all end in the same result.
The weird thing is calls and some things actually go through the watch. I can play music and make/take calls. But all of the other features like Messaging and stuff just says "Pair phone first".
I am not sure exactly what is going on. There are 2 A28 devices found on the phones. Both are paired. Seems I am missing something. I tried this on 2 phones with the same results.
Hi Player911,
I was in your same shoes just this morning but Google helped out.
You may follow the step-by-step guide for the watch at China Gadgets Reviews.
All the credit goes to Stefan Danut.:highfive:
After following these steps, I was able to explore 100% of the watch's functionalities. It is definitely one of the best clones out there.
Hope it helps.
Hi Kempest,
Can you post a link to the instructions you are referring to? I'm having the exact same problem with my A28.
Pairing the A28
Just got mine today (A28) and experienced the same problems.
Solution: Install an updated Mediatek App.
I found the update here: Google Chinagadgetsreviews. Search for A28 hands on first impressions. Sorry, but XDA won't let me post the link!
Look for this text
You can also download the latest version v.2015.07.06 of MediaTekSmartDevice.apk & speechengine.apk from here or from here (12 MB)
The "here" and "here" are links. I clicked on the second (using PC) and downloaded the newer App (RAR Format). Unzipped the RAR and then I copied it to my Android and installed.

Hi,
I have a problem installing the mediatek smart device apk on my oneplus running mokee rom. I was able to download the newest version but get a message "app not installed" every time I try installing it. Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks.
Clarification
After downloading the APK file, you must go to your downloads and run the file to install.
Cool suggestions. I just installed the app from the play store as the built in scanner barcode lead me to a chinese website where the Android version was not loading the page properly.
Kind of silly that the newest working app is out there but the play store has a broken non working version. One would think that would be high priority.
Clarification 2
I installed the PlayStore version first, only to find that it wouldn't function correctly. I used a PC to download the newer version, in zipped and transferred it to the Android. Once on the Android, I just had to execute the APK file. Note my instructions of 11/08/2015.
I have the oukitel a28 aswell, and stand alone i have to say its a pretty good watch for the price. BUT i cant get it to sync to healthkit on my iphone running ios 8.4, anyone else using this watch with iphone?, i can pair it as headset and notifications, but what i really bought it for was the health stats. Ive also read somewhere about some other sync app on the phone that would work with mediatek chip devices, but cant seem to find it again? suggestions please, i know about Mediatek smartdevice and Fundo wear, none of those will sync with ios healthkit..

Hello there, thanks for the suggestion, thats the QR-code link, have tried both fundo wear and the mediatek sync app, none of those sync the health stats, and fundo's servers are very slow and fail most of the times. Such a shame with the sync, when the watch seems great otherwise.

miracast support?

Hello, looks like s3 neo does not have miracst support (GT-I9301I). Even if I install the miracast shortcut from google play, doing scan yields nothing. Seems like something is missing - stupid samsung, how could they disable such basic feature in this nice phone?
Anybody knows any way to enable miracast screen sharing?
P.S. prefer to use stock ROM
Just for info, on CM 12/12.1 works almost flawlessly, you just cannot start it from quick settings, I need to go from settings every time. So if not working on stock it is software issue.

[Solved] How can I enable Wifi Assistant on Nougat?

Anyone get WiFi Assistant working on Nougat? most articles have the instructions below but I cannot find the networking option. Anyone have success with this?
If your phone is ready for WiFi Assistant, you should see the option in Settings>Google>Networking. You may also find it in Settings>WiFi>Gear icon (top right). From within there, you will see a toggle for “Use open Wi-Fi automatically.”
I’m not currently seeing it live on my Nexus devices, but you may. Be sure to head into Google Play and update to the latest version of Google Connectivity Services. You may also need an update to Play Services as well or maybe you just need to remain patient.
----------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Ok, I found the settings it wasn't under anything called networking though. had to go to advanced in the wifi options and use open Wifi automatically aka the wifi assistant feature -__- I love great instructions
who would've thought. and you have to actually click that option to see what it does.
It's in Settings --> Google --> Networking if thats what your referring to. Seems to work decently.

For me it's in the Settings>Google>Networking. Also if you have WiFi Assist, it will be called WiFi assist. It will actually prompt you about connecting to open networks and optimizing and securing them.
Anyone know why Nougat 7.1.1 wifi advanced setting set wifi region code is mising right now and mashmallow 6.0.1 has an option?
What about when the whole option is missing? Just noticed recently the always on vpn is greyed out and where wifi assistant *used to be* it now is not. I even reverted google connectivity services back to factory (uninstalled updates), nothing, updated it, still nothing.

Mirrorlink is greyed out

Hello,
I want to use Mirrorlink on my stock S7 Edge with a 2018 vw polo, but when I go to my settings > connections > more connections > mirrorlink, the option "connect to car with USB" is greyed out..
I cannot figure out why this is greyed out or maybe change a setting to enable this.
I see 2 mirrorlink apps on the mirrorlink settings page:
CarmodeStub and Car mode.
Developer settings are on.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Try connecting phone to car usb first, maybe?
When connected to the car via usb this setting is still disabled.
Do you use any package Disabler?
No, just a stock s7 edge without any package disabler.
Or is this setting banned in the netherlands?
Because Android auto is also not allowed and not findable for me in the play store.
That could be definitely a reason. And very stupid as well. Why?
We are not allowed to use our smartphone while driving, which makes totally sense.
If i install a custom rom, would this setting be enabled?
That would void your warranty.
I would try installing oryginal software from other country, where it is not banned. I have BTU and I used to use at some point.
Plus, it does not make sense. In UK you are also not allowed using mobile whilst driving (meaning holding phone in the hands) , but that's the whole point of mirror link. To operate it using car controls.

You need another MirrorLink App. Carmode is not really a MirrorLink App.
For all Apps do this https://goo.gl/bMFjBm
If that does not work do that https://goo.gl/AyPhHN
Or try installing Android Auto.

Android auto is not available for the netherlands, cannot be found in the play store. Tried to install the apk but the latest version wont install. I installed an older version but it needed to update but that didnt work..
Why it would not install? Is there any message?
As mentioned before. The other option might be changing CSC to another country, maybe France? Germany? UK?
