The thermal properties / protection mechanism is crap on this device. It shuts off countless times during the hot summers for me as well. I don't know about any thermal fuse on the main board but what I have tried was isolating the heat generated from the CPU away from the battery by inserting...

This just started happening on my G Watch R as well. Sometimes the heat generated from my wrist is enough to cause the watch to shutdown or reboot from overheating. If it isn't a failing battery, as some of you have noted through a battery replacement, then what could it be?

Anybody figure out a way to do this yet?

Anyone having problems with WiFi on stock ROM lately? Every so often the WiFi shuts off completely and can't be enabled again until restarting the watch. I have tried manually switching it back on in Settings but it remains stuck in Off mode. Factory reset it, cleared the Android Wear app and...

Is it possible using root to somehow hide or remove the status indicator icons (e.g., priority, disconnected) on an android wear watch? These icons really ruin the look of watch faces when they're on, especially with an always screen on enabled watch.

Do you guys happen to have Developer Options enabled? I tried enabling it today and just noticed that the option Force Burn-in Protection was disabled by default. I don't know whether it was because of that option, the newest update, or just the fact that reading over this thread made me...

Thanks for continuing to support X10, FeraVolt. Just one question about your Kernel: does it allow for the X10 to be used without a battery connected, i.e. just using it connected through AC?

Be careful with that band since I had the same one and the links fell apart. Luckily, I noticed before my watch dropped to the ground. The links that came apart were at the non-adjustable end.

Android Police also contacted LG about that official statement and they confirmed this update to enable WiFi should be available in July...

Try blocking Google Fit notifications on the watch. I had the same problem with unresponsiveness and when I blocked Google Fit, everything is smooth again. You can still access Fit functions, but you just won't get the notification cards periodically anymore.

A lot of devices use the same antenna for WiFi (802.11n) and Bluetooth since they are on the same frequency.

Since I switched to using only WatchMaker faces, I haven't been getting any more flickering. Before when I was using the Suit face by LG, I would get this issue once in a while. Though I should add that when using WM faces, I add a dark translucent overlay on top of the watch face to lower the...

Anyone figure out how to decrease ambient brightness through root modifications?

Automotive high gloss paint might work better. I may give it a try once my watch gets too scratched up.

Could very well be related to the watching automatically going into screen off mode when idle with the Screen-on Always option enabled and then coming back on The second time this issue happened to me was when it wasn't charging but was lying flat on a table for a while, which it turned its...
