My ZenWatch 2 has Marshmallow (6.0.1 - Android Wear 1.5.0.2923607) installed. I noticed that whenever I remove the watch from the charger that the remote shutter app launches. This may have just started in August (after I switched from a Moto X to the LG G4). I don't want to block the app on the watch because I may want to use the remote shutter. Is there a way to make it not launch this app when removing the watch from the charging cable?

I have a Moto 360 running android wear.
I'm seeing high battery drain from wakelock *sync*/com.google.android.gms.fitness/com.google/eM_ADDR - resulting in up to 8% drain/hour on lollipo (5.0.1 / samsung I9505)
When I view sync settings on the phone I see "google fit" is still syncing. This happens quite regularly. other sync apps are fine, phone has mobile connection etc. Any ideas?
Whilst not necessarily an android wear OS issue, hoping this is an appropriate place to discuss - open to suggestions as to where else to try!
I noticed it too (Sony Smartwatch 3 and Nexus 5 4.4.4). I just ended up uninstalling it. I like Fit, but not enough to try and figure out what was causing it.
It definately is google fit. Just this morning my phone's been unplugged for 90 mins, and for around 60 mins google fit had this same wakelock keeping the phone awake.
I tried clearing fit data & reconfiguring, but the issue came straight back. Very frustrating when this isn't even a third party app, but instead a google app!!!
fit for purpose - not... now wondering if I need to switch to another solution - I did try "my fitness companion" only for it to regularly crash on the watch! Grrrr! Moto Body works, but there's no access to the data off the watch... ideally an alternative client that worked with android wear/moto 360 and synced to google fit would be ideal!
Use greenifiy app and hibernate GoogleFit on your phone. It will only try to sync when you open the app
Connected to moto 360 and Google fit.. Use apps.. Move it, cinch and aqualert which sync with Google fit
No issues on android 4.4.4
Seems to be issue with lollipop

It is not a issue with "Lollypop", I never had any issue.

i have uninstalled google fit on my phone because of battery drain but i still have the app on my watch and still counts my steps taken.
The No. 1 S3 is a Chinese round smartwatch. It comes in a couple of colours and both combinations are looking pretty good for the price of the device. This smartwatch costs $59usd and for that money you get a smartwatch that is also a phone. You can use it independently from your phone or with your phone.
The watch itself it's made out of plastic but it does look like it is metalic. A metalic version would have been nice but it would most likely increase the cost.
There is only one button available on the watch and it has a touch screen that it's supposed to be scratch resistant.
the back is removable and you can remove the battery, insert a memory card and a sim card. The 350mah battery is able to keep the watch going for an entire day, but will most definatley not make it thru the next day. This watch is not waterproof. There is also a speaker on the back of the device that it is surprisingly loud. There is also a microphone on the left hand side of the watch in case you want to make any phone calls or record anything.
On one of the straps there is a heart rate monitor that works very well, however it doesn't have a function to randomly measure your heart rate thru-out the day.
If you use the watch as a smartwatch there is an app that you can download and that way all your phone notifications get to the watch. Some of the health functions of the watch like the heart rate, or the pedometer will sync on the watch.
The watchfaces are quite limited and there is no way to get new ones or customize the ones that are available.
The apps that come on the watch are also the only apps that you can get, but i believe that there are enough for the little screen that the watch has. You can change the music playing on your phone from the watch, take pictures from the watch and small things like that.
I ended up using the watch as a watch, not as a smartwatch, just because i find the pedometer and heart rate monitor useful during runs and workouts.
Overall, for $58.99usd it is a very decent watch. Check out the link in the video's description if you want to check this watch out.

I have had my S3 for a couple of weeks now and for the most part it is a very nice watch for the price. My greatest issue with the watch is its inability to use a paired Bluetooth headset to make and receive calls, or even listen to music (I should also indicate that a dedicated music player to play internal music files is not included). This is an extremely inconvenient oversight, as when using the watch with a SIM card, most people feel foolish talking into the watch and would much prefer doing so via a Bluetooth headset.
This said, here are some pros/ cons with the S3:
Pros:
- Price
- Quality build
- Functionality (even though many of the apps are quite flakey, especially the vibration massage one!)
- Display
- Bluetooth and GSM reception
Cons:
- Battery life on the low side (about 8-9 hours of average use)
- No Bluetooth headset pairing
For $60 USD, the No.1 S3 gives you a nice looking watch that does not scream "geek", at least until you have to make or receive a call through it.

I regret to say that the Fundo app does very little other than set what apps can send notifications to your smartwatch and install a very limited number of additional apps. There are no map tracking apps (there is an inaccurate pedometer though). I also found that linking my smartphone to the smartwatch with the Fundo app completely screwed up my other Bluetooth connections (especially with my cars) and after discovering this, I quickly uninstalled the app. Shortly thereafter I sold the smartwatch to someone who was more interested in the looks than the substance - I am done with extremely cheap and limited functionality smartwatches.

S3 and T3
What is the difference between S3 and T3? Are they same thing?
Just an odd thought question here... is it possible to connect two different watches to the same phone at the same time?
I recently got a new Moto360 and still have my Samsung Gear Live around. I had this really weird vision of mounting the two together either side-by-side or top and bottom of my wrist to be able to display additional information.
Probably wouldn't work, but thought I'd ask the question...
Never tried it myself, but from what I read here on XDA it should be possible.
But it's not possible to pair your watch with 2 phones (not very easy at least)
I have 3 connected, working just fine.

How does it handle things like notifications? Can you load/run different programs on them at different times?
Usually only one is connected at time, but they all get synced with the same apps. When they are all connected they all get the same notifications.
Yeah You can do this easily
fwiw the gear live makes an excellent sleeping watch with sleep as android.
that's pretty much all that one gets used for anymore, but I have it paired to my tablet. My gwatchR and moto 360 both turn on when you put them on the charger (another reason the sw3 is awesome, it'll charge while off) and SAA doesn't let you select which watch to use.
it is possible, I have three watches paired to a S6 Edge for development. In terms of developping though, you can only debug one device at a time and you have to manually assign the device to use through the Android Wear companion app.
Hey Guys,
recently when I use my Gear VR and watch a youtube video for example the whole interface veeeery slowly moves to the left! Does any of you have the same issue? I wonder if it has something to do with the oculus software (you know sometimes they break stuff when they update it) or are my sensors on my device defective? Can I test my sensors somehow or reset them?
Anyone? is there a way the calibrate the gyroscope? and what apk is for the samsung device test that comes when input *#0*#? i debloadet and it doesn't pop up anymore.
do you know if there is an app that warns you when you leave the phone?
I use Wear Aware but it's not on the Play Store anymore and looks like it hasn't been updated since 2015. Here's a download link if you want to try it: https://wear-aware.en.uptodown.com/android
Yes, Feel the Wear
Cerberus and Wear Battery Full offer that functionality in addition to their main functions of anti-theft and watch battery status on phone.
Bitdefender has a Android Wear alert, but mine has stopped working since I jumped to a Mi Max 2 (Custom Rom). Worked well with my Nexus 6.
