Andorid wear 2.0

[pidobeuliou]

the watch primarily serves as an alert device for me and not some multifunctional do it all

So now, thx to AW2.0, we can change the name of this watch, it's no more a "smart watch" but a simple "alert watch".

May the "not remembering time after shut down" be the hardware thing, but its a fail. It can be done but isnt.
The phone call handling is a bad design on 2.0. Accepting it on watch and starting it on phone was a perfectly fine thing in 1.5.
However, on Huawei Watch with 2.0, the phone call can be accepted ONLY if you allow phone audio over bluetooth = talking to your watch. Once you do that, you have 2 circles on incoming call screen. I see someone at Google thought that if the watch is going to be more independent, then lets do it thouroughly.
But the purest fail is that reply with sms is missing. Unacceptable and totally contradictory with "independence" of watch, in my opinion.

Reply to sms missing? Are you sure?

Don't know about that but that's how I've treated all my AW devices all this while as no matter what, I'd still refer to my phone for most of my work although I do appreciate the Fit functions and the fact i can quick reply (busy and stuff) especially when am driving or in a meeting, and also a decent remote for spotify and play music while I'm driving

Me too. The "quick reply or quick reject with SMS" is one of the key wear feature I'm using many times per day.
This is why we are so disapointed with the Google decision to remove it with AW2.0.

The other key feature is also the very efficient "double click" on the button to switch off the screen in less than one second. So cool during the night.

Anyway... Rendez-vous with the AW2.1

Unfortunately that's abit of a downside but it's not a deal breaker for me anyway as otherwise it's​ been serving me well AW 2.0 wise to be livable

No, not TO. WITH. Reply with sms when you decline a call. Thats what I meant.

Not getting notifications anymore on the watch, did a factory reset of the watch and it was working again. Just updated some apps on the watch and now it's not working again. Last update was the Google app and I installed puji black. Anybody else problems with the notifications?

me. I've repaired device and now it's working. Generally there's a problem with notifications, as there's a dedicated page about it:

Saw it from your previous post, going to upgrade from mm to nougat with clean install. So it will probably be fixed then. Still strange it is working for a few days and then stops working.

how can i turn on the sunlight mode? it use to be triple tap on the power button in AW1.5 but now in AW2.0 it does nothing... without the auto brightness this watch is useless under the sun.

No such thing unfortunately. Not even in the settings. The button just got dumb. Fk Google

Google be damned! My two AW2.0 watches are acting crazy since morning. I was wearing Moto360 yesterday with no problems. Today, I tried to connect Huawei, no luck, Wear app just started to act weirdly..(Saying connected, but was not, then stuck on splash screen etc..) I quickly took GWR because I was in a hurry, and it does the same.. Unbelievable.. last 2 weeks were perfect, today, like someone pushed a switch, bam, nothing working.
Moreover! I cant get into Wear Developer Options menu on these AW2.0 watches, which is.. frustrating.. It just falls back to setting menu..
I am speechless. I am literally without a speech.... FK GOOGLE!!!

well the watch was working great on 2.0 just upgraded my phone to the s8 now I am unable to sync my google account to the watch, it just gets stuck on the accounts screen where it tries to find the account on the phone to sync to the watch. anyone else faced this issue and have a solution? I have factory reset the watch like 4 or 5 times and also removed android wear and installed it again no luck.

yes but there was no concrete resolution in that thread for the issue. I only have 1 google account setup on the phone. Considering going back to 1.5 and using the watch which seems to be the only solution.

Correct. As we have the choice (chance) with our watch to go back to 1.5, I think it's better to wait for the new android wear release (2.1 or 3.0) which could (perhaps) solve a part of all the bugs and regressions, by using the AW 1.5 than AW 2.0.

yes i really liked wear 2.0 and didnt have many issues, guess i have no choice but to flash back to 1.5

I have had this problem too. I think that removing watch from bluetooth settings on the phone was the solution. And turn the visibility on in the bluetooth...
P. S.
You need to be careful with pairing pin confirmation, because I got two requests - one as standard bluetooth device and one from Wear app. If you add your watch as a standard Bluetooth device, copying Google account will not work

could you elaborate this a bit for me please, i removed the watch from bluetooth settings on the phone but now the wear app does not connect to it at all. It just says connecting and does not move forward.

Edit

Unpaired the watch and trying to reconnect it, i only get a single popup for bluetooth and if i cancel it the watch wont pair.

Edit 2

Deleted my account from the phone logged in with a dummy account and it worked let me add the dummy account to the watch, but the min i add the mail account it goes back to the stupid spinning circle.

I am having the same issue. After a reset of my phone (V20) AW2 will not find my account. Just spins and spins. This was working prior to resetting my phone. Seems I've swapped one issue for another. Back to 1.5 I think for now. 2 felt like a bit of a step backward in functionality anyway for me.
