I religiously use the Google Authenticator app on both my Asus Zenwatch 2 and LG G Watch R. At some point, for what seemed to be no reason, I couldn't get any codes when I opened the app and all I would see upon opening it is an endless loading circle until the watch went back to sleep, taking me back to the main watch face.
SOLUTION:
Fortunately, this wasn't too hard to fix. Just go to the Authenticator app on your phone, touch the three dots in the top right corner, touch Android Wear, then uncheck "send codes to wearable device" and then re-check it. Voila.

Hi, when launching Android Market on HyperDroidGBXv7 for the first time, it comes up with a "once off" menu to install some predefined apps based on category.
I screwed that up by accedently pressing the OK button, and want to get it back so that I can choose some of the predefined categories.
Is it possible? Don't wanna reset the phone to get to it again...
Many thanks,

The apps you select at the first screen are all google apps. Use MarketEnabler if you can't find them on the market.
These apps include, Youtube, Facebook, Gmail, Google Maps, Voice Search, Google search, and apps like talkback/kickback. No real need for the screen, it only helps to download the google apps that you like at once.
OK, thanks for that. I thought it would download the top rated free apps for that category - would have been nice
so i have no need of it now but the top line of apps that keep track of what you have opened just keeps getting longer.. anyone now how to clear that out yet?
also if anyone is looking for a password app to bock a few apps from the kids accidently buying apps or getting into your email the app "app protector pro"(also has a trial) is one of the few that work... some on the amazon store do not block at all and some are buggy. this one i have been using since yesterday and it has several good modes. only thing with this is i had to side load a different facebook app(touch client for facebook) because the "app" for amazon just goes to the browser. and this will allow the kids on theirs without logging me out or getting into mine.
.i know people are having problems getting the regular market place in. i stopped trying and just started using blapkmarket side loaded for my apps.
also im finding kobo to be the best ereader app to side load that seems to give the best results.
hope this helps anyone with the same issues
The Recent section is one of the more annoying aspects to the UI in my opinion. First it should need to be SO LARGE... and second, it would be nice to just turn it off. Many of the "icons" displayed are terrible looking especially recent web pages etc...
The other is the lack of control buttons being available without an extra step. Coming from a Android phone it takes some getting used to. I suppose someone who has never had a droid based phone might think it is okay, but I would guess not.
To clear apps from your carousel: Settings->applications->Filter by all Apps->AppManager -> Clear Data
to clear watched videos from your carousel. Settings->More->Applications->Amazon Video-> Clear Data -> Go back to the home screen click on one of the other tabs like books and then back the the home and it is gone.
-D
worked thank you
Now we need a setting that just makes the carousel disappear completely.... most likely a different app launcher though.
Some of my Metro apps either no longer launch or launch but do not load or work once loaded.. Here's what I did:
I recently discovered how much I liked the Music app so I decided to import some music by adding libraries through "computer" and "libraries" and "properties". For some reason some playlists were being picked up so I did something very dumb and allow sharing of my whole C: in hopes for it to pick up some music that the Music app had a hard time finding.
Well that royally screwed some things up and stopped my Metro apps from opening. I guess messing with sharing permissions wasn't a smart idea. I couldn't find any way to un-do so what I did so I tried to do a system restore to a restore point from earlier that day. After restoring I noticed some Metro apps on the had a little "x" in the bottom right corner of the tile. I clicked on it and it took me to a message saying that the app could no longer run because my developer license had expired. Funny, but I never had a dev license to begin with nor do I know what that has to do with anything. So naturally I uninstalled the apps that wouldn't work (approx. 6) and re-installed them. Most worked, some still did not.
Once re-installed I noticed that "Tweetro" (twitter app) opens but no longer shows anything but the logo on the top left corner. Just a black screen. I can access the charms bar but nothing else. So I tried another twitter client which just opened but wouldn't allow me to sign in, just kept showing the "click here to sign in" no matter how much I clicked sign in.
The Sports app just auto closes if I try to launch it. Same with the News app. When I go into Ebay now it just shows "loading" on all the tiles. I've no confirmed that it was in fact a problem I created due to allowing sharing of the C drive. Apparently the hidden folder "app data" is the culprit and causes this problem when shared. I'd like to know how to un-do this problem without a refresh or reset of Windows. Apparently undoing sharing privileges from the "app data" folder does not resolve things.
So... just got me a Huawei watch and while I love the look and feel, I have some issues/questions/hopes that i figure you guys will know
Just for detail, I'm using my watch with a Xperia Z5
1. Is it possible to hide notifications on watch face so that they only appear on swipe up? Failing that, is it possible to at least hide them on the 'deactivated' watch face, only to show when i 'activate it'?
2. When using voice I quite frequently get offline errors, despite being connected according to the phone and main screen - anything I can do here??

How can I stop the phone waking in my pocket when voice does connect? Leads to things happening in my pocket​
3. Google Maps
- Can i get Google maps to default to walking?
- Frequently Google maps doesn't navigate properly at all - sticks on recalculating or just fails
- Can I get Google maps voice directions on watch not on phone?
4. I would like to set notifications on my phone to the watch - i've seen this option - but i still want to get the apps I've blocked notifications on the phone... possible?
5. App questions
- Is it possible to hide apps from the list at all? I tried a few of the other launchers but I keep getting Screen Overlay errors so have had to delete...
- Is there a better Agenda app that shows more than just today? (found Agenda Wear but can hardly read anything on that!)
- There seems to be a built in find my phone, but it doesnt work. Downloaded a separate app and it does does - any ideas?
- I seem to have three fitness apps on my writs... Google Fit vs Daily Tracking vs Fitness Tracking - do i need them all? Is one the core in which others are reliant?
- I seem to get a reboot when removing and often adding an app - is this usual?
6. How can I change contacts shown? Seems to be most recent except I alse get the first phonbook entry alphabetically who I rarely contact for some reason
A lot of questions I know - thanks in advance for any insight!!

Hi vaderag, i answer the first question:
Yes, you can set this from:
Phone -> Android wear app -> configuration -> moto 360 (established connection) -> cards preview
Regards
Color OS v.6
Been wrestling with some really infuriating problems with this phone since i bought it 4 months ago.
Default apps are ignored when clicking links via Chrome or Google search - if I select Waze as open by default for maps, and select DO NOT OPEN for Google maps, it will always open Google maps when I click a map or directions. If I select do not open for YouTube and either always open or always ask for newpipe or YouTube vanced, it will always open YouTube links in YouTube. It just completely ignores the settings
Opening via Firefox will work sort of, but for some reason FF have added a little 'open in app' button step so you have to load the web page for YouTube then select the android button for it to bring up the select app dialog, so it's rubbish and frankly a deal breaker. Also this doesn't work for directions, neither Maps or Waze are options for directions, bizarrely.
Another thing thats frustrating is that it forgets notification settings. If I set a notification as unimportant, like a battery usage alert or WhatsApp web is open, it will appear again an hour later.
Does anyone else get these issues? You could argue the first one is a chrome/google issue, but i have never had this problem on other androids. My OnePlus works fine for example
If anyone has a solution to these, I would be grateful for hear it. At the moment I am done with Color OS weirdness and considering a custom rom (if one exists)
Edit: Actually I can't get it to open any app via chrome. Everything opens in chrome. Tried resetting everything but it won't work.
