Hello all, I have a Huawei Watch which works perfectly with my LG G5.
Now I try a new phone (Mi Max - Helium with official global rom) and I am getting all kinds of issues.
First, the DND - Silent mode toggles are crossed.
I select "silent" on the phone and it triggers Do not disturb on the watch. Result: I cannot receive vibrations only (as the phone will vibrate but the watch will not due to the DND activated).
Second, I am using the google messenger app: that app does not notify me when messages arrive on the phone (I mean it notifies on the phone but not on the watch). Also, the calendar notifications are not passed on either...
Quite disappointing - as with the LG G5 all worked so well...
I tried the "silence phone while wearing watch" feature: that does not do anything either. The phone will ring even when that is "on"
Is there any fix, any ideas?
Its miui, nothing works well with it.... its modified so much many standard android apps dont work with it, basically whenver I get a miui based xiaomi phone the first thing I do is install CYanagenmod/Lineage OS onto it ASAP. Basically anything out of China with android on it is totally screwed in some way or another or most China apps track users behind the scenes for the Chinese government due to them making it legally mandatory to track users to particular phones if you company is based in China

My Moto360 has started not displaying a card notification when receiving a message via WhatsApp. All other notifications are vibrating and switching on the display with card, but WhatsApp it just vibrates.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installting whatsapp, tried re-syncing the apps, but WhatsApp continues not to switch the screen on ... any ideas?
You haven't blocked whatsapp from showing notifications on your 360? Its easily done by accident. You might have swiped then clicked on block this app. If you go into your wear settings, then blocked apps, check to see whatsapp isnt there.

Nope, checked that .. nothing in the Blocked Apps. The phone vibrates, so it is getting the notification, but unlike all the other apps which vibrate and switch the screen on, this just vibrates. When I wake the screen, the notification is shown
Yeh, sorry, when I re-read your post I realised you couldn't have whatsapp in the blocked list if you are getting the vibration. #facepalm ?.
I had a similar issue with not receiving cards for my outlook work emails on a different device to my 360 a while back, it turned out to be an app I had used to set a custom vibration pattern for my outlook notifications. Im guessing that if you had a similar app installed you would have checked that.. also Im sure you would have tried a restart of your 360..
I think the problem is with your 360 as your phone is clearly pushing the notification to your 360 if you are getting the vibration. I know an app resync usually fixes most issues but as you've tried that what about a factory reset of your moto 360? I know its a bit drastic but I don't know what else to suggest.

Tried a reset as well ... the funny (annoying part), is that the screen on notification did work for a while, and then just suddenly stopped, withouth me installing anything, so not so sure it is an issue with the Moto 360, as all other notifications pop up ..... WhatsApp is the only one that does not
Yeh thats really odd. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion that can fix it. What version of the 360 do you have? Ive got the smaller mens 2015 version. I'm at the end of my tether with it tbh for other reasons. The lag on the the device is so bad for me its virtually unusable by the end of my working day. Im gonna sell it and get the watch urbane instead.

I have the 1st Gen, and to be honest I am more than happy with it, even with the outdated processor in there, don't really get that much lag with it .... and taking it off charge at 7 in the morning, and putting back on around 10pm ... still gettng about 40%+ battery left.
Surprised the 2nd gen (2015) version that you are having lags with it, have heard it was supposed to be rock solid
What other issues you having?
I get "android wear has stopped working" at least twice a day. Which means it can crash without me knowing so i miss notifications and calls throughout the day. Thats my biggest gripe at the moment. Then the lag progressively gets worse throughout the day, the only way i can fix it is to do a reboot but at its worst it can take 2-3 minutes for me to get into settings then another few minutes for each option in settings to load before i can choose restart device. I tried a factory restore last night but its already crashed 3 times today..
When i compare it to my other smart watch my 360 doesn't have that 60fps smoothness when navigating the interface. I did read that if you disable ambient then the lag isnt so bad but i like having ambient on.
I'm planning on making a YouTube video of how bad it is over weekend.

I initially had the android wear stopping issue with mine, what I tried was a reset of the watch, removed all pairing with the phone, and then installed an older version of Android Wear .. think it was 1.1 (do a search on google, you will find a load of links). Then reset my watch up to the phone .... but .... tried running on Android Wear 1.1 for a few days, and it was stable. I then upgraded the Android Wear 1.4 through the Play Store (make sure to disable auto update, whilst testing, otherwise off it will go), and mine has been rock solid

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try out your suggestion now. Need my watch working, I've come to really rely on my watch for notifications as I can't have my phone on during working hours. It got so bad today with the lag and crashes I had to use my Razer Nabu instead of my Moto360.
Fingers crossed, I'll let you know how it goes [emoji106]

The 2nd Gen really should not be that bad, as said, I have the 1st Gen and to be honest, hardly any lag, so hope this workaround works for you

As the moto 360 2015 doesn't have a cable, its wireless charging only, how would you reflash a previous version of wear? Im kinda stumped lol
Last night I did another factory reset and i uninstalled a lot of apps that i didn't want running on my moto. Some apps seem to have a companion wear app for their mobile equivalent that automatically install.. Well ive taken a lot of crap off and i have seemed to have fixed the stability issue. Also i can use my device albeit with a small amount of lag. This i can live with for now, it seems that moto knows about "always on" causing lag on some devices. I'll hold out for an update to fix it [emoji106] [emoji3]

Ah, should have said .. it is not Android Wear on the watch, but the companion android wear on the phone that I installed an older version. Don't believe you can actually change the version on the actual watch
I have ambient mode off, wifi off (dont really see the point) and tilt to wake off ... as it kept coming on when I changed gear in the car lol
install quick for wear
i know it's an old thread, but i still have the problem in android wear 2.0.
whatsapp notifications are extremely unreliable. it's like the developers do every single thing their own way.
i set my watch to show notifications until i swipe it away or down, the very few times whatsapp actually shows the notification it goes away after a few seconds.
the notifications do work, as i can manually swipe to the notifications and they're there. they just refuse to show automatically.
i'm not a heavy user, so i get few notifications of which most of them are from whatsapp. so my watch functions more like a normal watch.
Whattsapp issues wear 2.0
I too get a buzz but no card till I manually swipe up anyone managed to fix this whattsapp support are useless auto gen email each time
Hi,
I have actually been having this problem for roughly 1 year on multiple devices from lollipop to marshmallow. I have a LG G watch R and this issue started happening around the same time i started using my galaxy note 4 on lollipop. It has persisted through to a Galaxy S6 edge plus and now my S7 edge on stock and custom roms.
So the Issue is when ever i install android wear all my notifications sounds disappear after i use my watch for voice commands to make a call or send a sms. My ringtone still works but all sms and application sounds do not. I reboot my phone and sounds come back until i use my voice commands on my watch. Also if i uninstall android wear all sounds are restored and all is perfect again.
I contacted google support and they said they are going to try and help me to correct this problem with android wear, after 45 min they transferred me to LG without telling me and LG was like well what do you want us to do call Samsung.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this or maybe knows of a fix?
Anyways thanks for reading.
Hi, I wanted to ask times whether who has information regarding lineage os. The last update was on 27.2 and in my case, super many things do not work. The alarm, the brwoser, twitch streams do not start the sound is bad and so on. Is working on it? Or pull which of you the official axon version up?
Best regards
You have the latest. I've used the alarm every morning to wake up for the last few weeks without issues. Sound is perfect through headphones/bluetooth. I don't use twitch so I can't comment there. I use chrome - it works like a dream. The in-built android browser is not advisable. In fact, I don't seem to even have it on my phone. Use Chrome. The sound through the speakers DOES need to be improved. Timing for that is TBD.
There's only one primary developer working on it. Until other developers start contributing, updates will continue to depend on his schedule and availability.
Hi guys, I'm the owner of this device since december 2016. I was very happy when it first arrived, it was smooth, responsive, everything worked just fine and I was very happy with Xiaomi.
Later, Xiaomi just launched Redmi Note 4 and then my nightmare began. I was always searching for new MIUI features, and as such, I've installed as soon as possible a Custom MIUI China rom, like xiaomi.eu or MIUIBrasil.
Everything was just going well, but then I've noticed that Xiaomi released MIUI 8.5 on many devices with new features, and our device began to be a little "left behind" when it came to updates.
Later Xiaomi introduced MIUI 9, with the new features and so much more improvements, however, after MONTHS waiting, our phone just got a MIUI with and Android 6.0.1 on IT, they didn't even thought about updating to Android 7, on the excuse of hardware limitations (Oh yes, let's remind that apart from Camera, our phones are EQUAL to Redmi Note 4 in specs), anyway, I've already tried a few AOSP before, and now I thought that this was the time to give it a chance again...
However, with so many ROMs out there, I just thought, OK I'll try some before picking up one to be my daily. And then it began... OK, the first thing I missed from MIUI was the ability to record calls and block calls by choosing numbers from contact list (without having to type then manually), second, Network Type Dialog, which on MIUI I could see only three options (LTE, 3G and 2G) this saves battery and on my Country, my mobile company simply have a bug on their network, and if the network type 4G is selected when data is disabled, it will charge your phone anyway, everyday for using internet... (THAT's RIDICULOUS).
Another thing is the 3 finger screenshot, yes they're present I know, but on MIUI everytime you do this, the screen "freezes" and if its a list, it won't scroll, the same thing doesn't happen on AOSP, when you do Three Finger Screenshot on a list, it scrolls before taking Screenshot.
However, one may ask, Why you're not on MIUI then, if you like it so MUCH?
Ok, I'll answer this by explaining that, I CAN'T
Yes, you read it correctly, everytime I use a MIUI (I've tried many, MIUI Stable, MIUI China, Xiaomi.eu, MIUI 8.6, MIUI 8.3, even MIUI 8.2) and on ALL of them I have the same ISSUE i'm going to report now.
RANDOM REBOOTS after installing Magisk + Xposed combo.
When I got my hands on this phone, as I mentioned early, EVERYTHING worked like a charm, it never rebooted once, Xposed and Magisk were playing nice together, I could use modules from both Magisk and Xposed, and phone was amazing, but now, with newer versions of Xposed and Magisk, it doesn't work anymore.
OK, if I knew what combination I've used in the past, I could simply try them again, but the thing is that I don't, I don't remember which version of Xposed Framework I was using when everything was fine back 1 year and half from now, neither the Magisk version.
So I'm stuck with either using MIUI and having phone rebooting every now and then (it doesn't even REBOOT totally, it just doesn't turn on screen anymore and if you put screen against source of light you can barely see the BOOTLOGO animation Stuck, like if it were burned in on screen, it's weird) or with AOSP lacking many features I found useful on MIUI.
TL;DR I'm very displeased with this phone, with how XIAOMI forgot it and how frustrated I am because I can't use it properly, I can't customize it as MY OWN, and I just wanted to use it without rebooting.
Well that's all, just wanna share that and know if anyone else had the same feeling.
Best regards
1. You can use 3rd party app to record calls on aosp. With proper searching, you can get exactly what you want. For the blocking numbers from list, how often do someone need to block a number? It's a very minor feature.
2. Yes, there are more options to choose network, but choosing only 4/3/2G is still there.
3. About the three finger screenshot, yes aosp does it bad. But, you can use custom shortcut to take screenshots, even gestures like 2 fingers side swipe, which I use on Mdroid.
There's work around for almost everything, if you look properly. And if you like things simple, surely you'll miss out some things.
I feel bad, because I can no longer go back to a regular battery sized phone
I feel exactly the same
Xiaomi abandonned us
Luckily for me I gave my markw to my sister (she doesn't care about updates ) and got myself a mido ( redmi note 4)
But I miss my 4 prime it was the perfect size note 4 is too big. And battery life is slightly less with mido
I know how you feel about custom roms.
There is always a way to fix your problem with them but it demands time to find the solutions to bugs/ non-existent function ( custom rom is not for lazy person ?)
With miui you had almost everything in 1 package
( But miui also had so many problems)
Hello, kinda new here...at least I haven't posted since my Xperia Play. However I own an Xperia XZ2 (H8276) Android 9, 64GB. I'm having two issues, one if which is one that seems to plaque Sony phones.
1). The Microphone for Xperia Diagnostics / Testing doesn't work during the test. Which it used to. However the microphone during calls via loudspeaker work. Google is touch and go. However, the in-call mic doesn't always work. Sometimes it'll work when I call. Sometimes it'll work when someone calls me. Then it doesn't. Almost seems random. I've tried uninstalling apps, app permissions, restore, app updates, etc etc. And it's a pain. I've even tried stupid things like disable Goggle Assistant, turn Bluetooth off prior, etc etc. IDK if it matters but I do have my Sony SmartWatch 2 paired to it (I assume at all times), and also a PC, PS3 Earpiece, X 2 speakers, ontop of the watch. However they're not always connected.
2). I cannot get the Sony Messaging (Xperia) base app to install now. It won't show up on Google play, and some APKs (whether upgraded or downgraded version) will either just say "not installed" or will keep crashing. It'll even give the "Not Responding" Window however it's only up for 1/100 a second. Not fast enough to select "App Info" or "Close App". Tho one time It did allow it and did nothing but continously crashing.
3). I also cannot find how to backup my device either via Xperia Companion (PC/Mobile). You used to be able to hook it up, select restore and it'll save a (X) GB .dll file. However upon clicking on the link it says something like "Android 10 users click here as there's a new method". Even tho I don't have an Android 10, it's Android 9, and the link take you to their site, and only has 5 phones listed (Xperia 1, and all the newest ones thereafter).
IDK whether this was the right place to ask however I don't know where else to ask as no one seems to know not even Sony themselves. Not to mention from my personal experience this forum site seems to have the most intelligent in-depth knowledgeable ppl around. So hopefully someone can help especially with the mic thing. I don't wanna have to use an Earpiece or Headphones to make private calls... It's a pain.
