Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS

[jucca]

Pretty happy with mine but my only gripe is I'm not getting notifications for the Messenger app. And searching for the app in play store on the watch comes up with nothing.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Facebook removed it from Wear OS. Nothing to do with Mobvoi.
Rumors says, that FB gonna launch its very own mobile phone/tablets and watches. Probably some other gadgets too.

Anyone know of a way to show heart rate on the second screen, or is that for essential mode only?

I've bought TicWatch Pro 3 Cellular/LTE, but I have problem to import an eSIM into it :-(

Not seeing much on here about this watch so I thought I would start a new thread just for it! Who has one on their wrist? Tell us what you think. It is high on my list for my next Smartwatch.

Yes, I got mine a couple days back, I like it a lot!
Last watch I had was the Asus Zenwatch 3 (I think the name) which I loved but the battery got terrible after a 3 years...
In the inter time, I was using Mi Band 5, which is cool but it's not the same.
Only problem with ticwatch 3 now is that I cannot get it found by my PC for ADB...

Has anyone else been able to get Sleep As Android installed on this device? I have the paid version on my Pixel 3XL, but the app doesn't show up in the play store under "Apps on your phone" on the watch, nor does it find the app when I search the play store on the watch. Sleep As Android on my phone does connect to the watch over bluetooth and is able to report data when I use the "test sensor" feature, but I can't seem to actually install the app.

EDIT: I found that the developer has a build of the Wear OS Sleep app available for download their website. I sideloaded that and it is working now. If you are facing the same problem, Downloaded the latest "SleepWear" apk from here: https://sleep.urbandroid.org/more/download/

Apparently, Facebook Messenger also has a Wear OS app, but I don't see that either. I saw that there is an old "Facebook Messenger (Wear OS)"apk on apkmirror from 2017, but that seems really old. I might try sideloading that over adb to see if it still works.

EDIT: I sideloaded that old Messenger apk with ADB and it is working. For anyone having the same problem try sideloading this: Facebook Messenger (Wear OS)

I noticed that some other people were having similar issues with this device on other forums. Has anyone found a workaround?

Are you trying wired or wireless adb? The charging cable is only built for charging, rather than charging+data. This is why there are only two pin contacts on the cable and 4 pin contacts on the watch port. I read on reddit that someone was able to take apart the cable from one of the earlier generation ticwatch to make a working data cable.

I was able to get wireless adb working. Transfer speeds might be a bit slower, but since they are over local wifi the speed is still decent. Go to Settings > Connectivity and sign in to you wifi if you are not already. Tap Wifi to take note of the device's IP address. Enable developer settings by tapping build number. In Developer Options turn on ADB degugging and turn on Debug Over Wifi. The status message under Debug Over WIFI will say unavailable until you issue the adb connect command. On your computer, issue the command:

adb connect 192.168.0.100:5555

... replacing 192.168.0.100 with your own IP. ":5555" indicates the port number and 5555 should be the default.
Once you issue the command, you should be asked to approve the connection on your watch. Allow the connection (There should be an option to Always Allow from that particular computer). Look back on your watch to see if the Wifi Debugging status has changed from "Unavailable" to something else. It should now list an IP address and what seems to be a device ID or something. Now you should have a working ADB connection. By default wireless adb device authorizations will be revoked after a week or so. There is another toggle in Developer Options to disable this to preserve the authorizations, if you don't want to go though these steps often.

Now you should be able to issue adb commands. Maybe try adb devices to see if it lists your device.

Thanks for your input, friend.
The watch does not ask ever to allow the connection, which is the odd thing.
Could have to do with my ADB setup on the computer, I'll look into it.

Ah, okay. It was kind of finicky for me at first and I am not sure what made it suddenly work. It might have been thatI had to switch my computer over to my 2.4GHz wifi connection so that they were on the same local connection. I do remember having to fiddle with it for a bit to get it working. I would suggest turning Always-On Display on while doing it to make sure the watch is "awake". Sometimes it can take a while for the watch to prompt me (maybe up to 45 seconds). I am on macOS which never needs drivers installed for adb connections, but I know that sometimes extra drivers are necessary for Windows to connect to some devices. The only other thing I can think of is maybe make sure your ADB is up to date with the latest SDK with Android Studio.

Good luck. Hope you get it working.

Android Studio.
Good luck. Hope you get it working.

Hi,
I got it going now, I think I was missing the prompt because I did not have AOD on (as you say). The timeout between low power display and the time for the prompt by ADB to appear seem to be nearly the same, so I finally had a glimpse of it after trying again.
Now, it's sadly not useful because I was hoping to get the DND from phone to synchronize on the watch (would really love for this to work), but the solutions I found are broken by Wear OS updates.
GitHub - rkkr/wear-dnd-sync (for example)

Thanks for your time, though! Very appreciated
