Sony Smartwatch 3 4.4W Not Updating Or Syncing - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sony smartwatch 3 not updating or syncing
Yesterday I got my first android wear smartwatch which is the sony smartwatch 3 from amazon but it is on software version 4.4W and the build number is "tetra-userdebug 4.4W KGW29E 1023 test-keys" and t says its model is "tetra". THe problem is that it doesnt detect any updates (I am pretty certain that lollipop is out for this) and that the android wear app does detect the watch faces i have installed.

UPDATE:
Sony told me to send it in for their "experts" to update it for me. I dont really want to have to do that though

Looks like you have a custom kernel installed. Google or search xda how you can install the latest rom for your sony smartwatch through adb and after that updates should work again in the future!
Good luck:thumbup:

I have tried booth of those methods to try and update my SWR50 but the Sony PC Companion didn't detect my watch and When in ADB Sideload mode my PC stop detecting it. Don't know why. I think I might just return th watch and buy it again

I had the same exact issue, as did many other people. I'll bet yours came from Best Buy, as all others' with this issue. It's a modified or test kernel. There's a thread somewhere that talks about this.

It must of originally buy I got it from amazon UK. anyway I decided to return it and get the urbane from a different place. This single event also probably means that my parents won't let me get anything expensive from the internet
Have a nice day, sent from my HTC One M8

Is this android N update legit?

Recently when I was searching for Android N update on ZTE axon 7 I found this site: a9droid.com/zte-axon-7-android-nougat-7-0-update . Android N is main reason I haven't bought axon yet so I'm really interested in installing it, but this website seems very suspicious. Is it even possible to install stock Android(that's what I suppose they do) on ZTE phone?
Words of advice: If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Please be careful when browsing through questionable websites and do not believe everything to read. Stick to XDA-Developers.com and you should be fine.
That site is utterly untrustworthy. It doesn't give any info on how to update (hint: that's because there is no nougat update yet), tells you how complicated it is and how you need tech-savvy friends or a repair shop to do it for you and then says "if all of that is too complicated for you, there's this magic apk from our website "that will transform your device into latest Android Nougat interface". Best case scenario: they're writing a bunch of bull**** in order to get traffic to their website. Worst case scenario: that apk has malware instead of just Google's launcher.
Okey. So are there any news about the official update? Axon is advertised as first daydream ready phobe and android N is part of phone being daydream ready...
ZTE haven't released a Nougat rom yet so why would some random site have it?
Just got an update on the Chinese Axon 7, B10. Still 6.0.1...

The german ZTE website today stated that the phone would receive Nougat before the end of the year. That's all I know about this so far.

Does the YD-206 variant get the lollipop update natively?

With all the updating going on lately for the YotaPhone I am lost if the Chinese (YD-206) got the update? I mean without the hassle of trying to flash the RU version on it?
If not maybe could you help me find the cheapest YD-201 version? It's be greatly appreciated!
Also another question I had on my mind was how the performance is for simple VR games? I noticed it has Gyroscope and I wanted to use Riftcat and a leap motion to simulate a vive... Maybe use some freetrack with it to get some tracking so i can walk a little too! I don't wanna bore you all with the details but yeah do you guys think it can handle some of the games? I realize that riftcat just streams it from my PC but i'm not sure how intensive that is!
Thanks guys I appreciate it! Also if all works out and I get all that VR stuff going I'll keep you all updated! Again Thank You all so much

The Chinese version is unfortunately stuck on KitKat. Flashing to the RU firmware is not that hard and if it should fail you can always flash back to the Chinesae version.
Yes, I agree , it's easy , put handset in developer mode so your PC can talk to it, then install yotaflasher on the PC, 1 option to download your chosen firmware zip file then another option to flash your handset. If there is something wrong (normally adb drivers) you have not lost anything.
The problems will only start if it does not flash and you have to tinker.
But yes, I recommend that you try to update to the latest release.
Yes Yotaphone works very well with VR games, gets a little hot and uses battery , but so all handsets.
I think even if you buy the yd201 , you may not have an update selection, but I am not sure of this. They usually have a special modified retailer firmware with more languages and stopping updates. A few weeks ago when I ordered my yd206 there were plenty of international yd201s and even some white Yotaphone, but now there fewer.

I think I am convinced too take my chance with the YD-206 now, I was just a little skeptical since I saw some others on the forum having problems trying to get it too RU. But in one of the threads a saw a solution if I can't get it too work by doing it manually.

KingWear KW18 Upload Firmware

Hi Xda teams,
I hope you find well. Recently I bought a good smartwatch: the KingWear Kw18. And she is working very fine. But I saw the website Kingwear going out a new update for my smartwatch. My firmware is just before the latest,. And the new firmware was going out one month after my current firmware. So two questions: How I can upload without brick my smartwatch and with done a backup? And after is there a lot changement between this two versions in spite of they are one month's difference between this 2 firmware?
Thank you for your answer!!!
Hope to have an answer soon.
Bye!!!
Still waiting for my KW18 to be delivered and I will not say that I am right and that this is supose to be done this way, but somewhere I saw a tutorial on how to flash a firmwere using SP Flashtool was is, but I think that the update could be done via the watches app with the help of your smartphone(I am not saing that this is 100% right with the phone method) once I get my hands on my watch and get convinced that they are woth it I will start to test and update and practice the watchface making and so on. But why not try at least and look around the watches app for something like and update option, as the custom watchface is uploaded to the watch via the app, google around aswell, there should be a way without flashtools and drivers....

How to switch back to "factory"?

Hi,
I recently unlocked my XC to flash Sailfish. I just would like to know what's the best path to get back to the official Android? Or is it locked to AOSP definitely?
I guess flashing AOSP and then install Xperia specific apps (if present on the Play Store) should be doable, but I wonder if there is a more direct way.
Thanks.
Just found Emma. I was able to flash the factory image...except the TA partition of course, but it's not a big deal.

I think flashing via flashtool wiping everything should bring you back to the original form (except from Bootloader remaining unlocked). Then you have to gain back root, though (if I got your point).
Sorry for this later answer. @eresac it worked...almost.
Indeed it's pretty strange. I didn't notice first, Emma didn't offer to flash Android 8 but 6 instead ! Problem is now the XC never gets the notification to upgrade. Any idea how to change this?

I think Emma might offered you a firmware for non-retail device (ex. Demo unit in store, Review unit, Exchange unit at service center) which has no update and shouldn't be use as daily driver.
Try reflashing it with different firmware. If there isn't any different firmware to select in Emma, use Androxyde's flashtool instead.
Emma offers only one firmware. And this is 6.0.1.
Ok to flash a newer firmware with another tool, but where can I get a factory image?
You can download it from flashtool (via XperiFirm plugin) following this guide. The title said Marshmallow but this method is compatible with newer firmware too.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/
Also, make sure that the firmware you download has version number starting with 34.4 if you want Android 8.0

Airtel XStream SmartBox Firmware Upgraded to hsw4026atl-3.1.6-220211

Hi All,
Earlier I have uninstalled the AirTel XStream Application from the XStream using the steps provided last year in youtube. However my Airtel XStream SmartBox Firmware Upgraded to hsw4026atl-3.1.6-220211 and I can't stop or remove the XStream Application. Even the ADB Services couldn't be enabled from Developer Option. I have tried to connect the ADB shell to my Xtream SmartBox, the connection is refused by the Android TV as the services aren't working as expected. Please suggest whether we have an option to flash the Android TV with a different Android version or downgrade the software.
Note: I have performed to reset as well as wipe data/factory reset. It wasn't helpful as the old version doesn't exist in the device. Please suggest some tools to flash the device to any other Android TV Firmware using USB or LAN Cable.
@kkarthik3 I am having the same problem Even my dth cable was disconnected for the airtel XStream box
At first, the tv screen went blank, google voice assistant was working I could open the device settings and playstore too but I can't play youtube or any other application only playstore.
I tried reformating but nothing worked yet
the possible solution I think is to downgrade the firmware update for the STB looking into the internet but no luck yet.
firmware is listed here but couldn't download it

This is fake, spam or might even be fraud site. Firmwares don't come in apk files and definitely not of size in 10s of MBs.

Yes There is no other options till now to prevent locking again ant you can't turn on usb debugging
People who are facing issue with this latest version, can you please post a video showing what exactly is the issue you are facing because my setup box is undated to the latest version but still I am able to use it for other applications without recharge.
I am not sure whether the setup box I am using will start giving issue as you guys are facing in anytime in future or issue has been bypased or taken care of by me unknowingly.
My stb is on 3.1.6 fw version as op mentioned. I was getting restart stb to finish update prompts repeatedly yesterday which i was skipping thinking it will again lock the device but my family members restarted it on their own and it's still working for now.

Obviously not. If i had recharged i wouldn't have even posted on the thread.
After all testing and finding.... i have to recharge my stb with rs 749 for 1 year of peaceful usability....... i couldn't find any other way to make it work like before with deleting of airtel app and installing custom launcher. This is the cheapest and easiest and simple solution.

In that case mi box or firestick might turn out to be better proposition. What do u think?
One can sell off locked xstream box to new user who want to use with recharge.
