I just took delivery of my Zenwatch 3, and was reading about the problems encountered by those who upgraded to Wear 2.0. I also read a review of the ZenFit app which said that, after the 2.0 update, several apps could not be installed to the watch: Zenwatch Manager, Zenwatch Remote Camera and FaceDesign (all of which I would like to use). Since most of what I've read is from 2017 I was wondering whether there were still serious issues with Wear 2.0, and hence whether it would be wise for me to stick with 1.5?
Any views?
IMHO the performance is still worse than 1.5

How about the battery life?
Comparable.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
In what ways do you notice the performance to be worse than 1.5 - is it with specific apps, or is the watch generally more laggy?
Apps and the Google Assistent need ages to start.

Just to flip the question around - is there any good reason to upgrade to Wear 2.0? I'm getting prompted repeatedly on the watch to install a software update (presumably to Wear 2.0). Is there any single feature that really sells it?
Hm, tough question...
Security updates?
Wear OS gets updates by Google, not by Asus (they abandoned the watch).
Janjan's OS was faster than default Wear 2. 0, but nowadays it does feel slow again.
I did not install his kernel, to be honest.

So in terms of functionality and features, you haven't found anything particularly useful in Wear 2.0?
Nope.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
Hmmm....looks like I need to find a way of suppressing the software update notification that keeps popping up on the watch...

Hi,
one question:
when I am sitting in the car, and bluetooth from my car audio is on - I saw that "google search" on my gear does not work (tethering is activated on my Note 3).
When I switch off the bluetooth system on my car - then it works...
Any idea, what could be the reason ?
Thx

There was a mention that the Galaxy Gear can only handle so many connections at a time. It is dropping one to handle the other per your request most likely.
Thx - and there is no work around ?

adjust your governor/scheduler, no need for a "mod". i use ondemand(sampling rate of 13500, up threshold of 98)/deadline.

FYI: "smooth scolling" just means that you have it set up so that the processor cores clock up to high rate sooner and stick there longer. Technically, this results in an increase in power consumption. Personally, I find it more useful to go the reverse route, since battery life is more useful to me than having an absolutely fluid UI.
I'd recommend Blu spark kernel, defaults are giving me the smoothest UI i've seen in a while on Cataclysm rom.
Hello,
I would like to by-pass the Oculus App when I'm connecting my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + on the VR.
Actually, I try to connect my Easycap but it's impossible to start any application even when I'm using Package Disabler Pro.
I thought about 2 solutions:
- Modify physically the usb by using a switch
- Create an Oculus app which will call apps
Is someone has the same need or has a solution?
Thank you,
someone here did create a thread where he disasambled the gearVR to bypas the MicroUSB. But a switch will not be possible I think.
But why shoulf someone want to do this?

You may be better off using Google Glass to try it. Them you won't break the vr only to find out your fatsharks were better?

I want to disable any kind tracking fitness activity as not being useful for me and doing that will see better battery life.
I try trough settings but didn't find any option for that.
Anyone know how to disable it?
Thanks.

In the Settings, go into Permissions and disable sensor access for at least ZenFit and Google Fit as well as Google Play-Services.
That should give you much more battery life as step counting alone can be very energy consuming.
Ok thanks.
I've only disable the first two not google services as I'm afraid not having any multifunction with various app or notification.

I was about to say the same thing, if you disable google services then
you will no longer get gmail and other notifications.
If you guys want to really save a lot of battery life simply disable wifi
and change it from automatic to OFF, that's the one thing which I
have found which noticeably saves battery longevity.
The wifi is intended as a backup services for notifications only.
I don't mind loosing bluetooth connection for a few seconds once
in a great while, so far I have not even noticed any difference
in my notifications with wifi in auto-mode or disabled.
Seems like Zenfit app keeps tracking even if body sensor permission is revoked? Is Android wear itself bugged or because it's special kind of bloatware from Asus?
Block it from access to watch.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
how?
If a message from fit appears on the screen swype to the left until "block app" appears.

Doesn't that just block the message? it doesn't stop the app from tracking...
Then have a look under settings - > authorisations (don't know exactly the term used in englisch settings).

Ah, yes, looks like you are correct. Settings / Permissions / Zen Fit, then turn of sensor access.

Even if you turn that off, Zenfit app still keeps tracking your steps.
Then delete zen fit
