How to manually upgrade Android Wear device via ADB sideload

Some of us have Sony SmartWatch 3 and because sometimes the update for our watch have delay, here is step by step guide to upgrade our watch with OTA zip packages. It work for every Android Wear device, but you need specific zip package. I test all steps with my own Sony SmartWatch 3. If you have any questions, just ask.

1. download OTA package (you need to find specific URL for your device)
2. download and install ADB http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
3. enable developer options on your Android Wear Device and enable USB debugging (tap more times on your software version in your device)
4. connect your device to computer and install correct drivers from Google - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
5. put your downloaded OTA ZIP into ADB folder and get it some easy name (like update.zip)
6. open command line and type adb devices, if result is some kind of number, than go for point 7. If not, you have no driver installed or no USB debuging enable
7. type adb reboot recovery
8. your device will reboot and after you see green Android, tap on display
9. go to apply update from ADB (in your device)
10. typ adb sideload update.zip (if it doesn work, now you have to install drivers once more in device manager)
11. wait until proces finished, you complete firmware update

Question: Is there a way to install a .APK manually?

Hi,

My question is simple: In linux we can extract a .DEB file and manually put each of its contents in its relative system directory, then it works just fine after a reboot (or logout-login process). Is there a way to do the same for the .APK files?

Thanks in advance,

Anyway to manually control the auto brightness BOOST you get in direct sunlight?

I love how the s6 gets extremely bright in direct sunlight with the auto brightness boost, but I wish there was a way to have this boost whenever I wanted. Any way to do this yet?

Lock screen not turning off unless I do it manually (5.1.1)

I am not sure if this is a bug with 5.1.1 or not. I tried searched before coming here to post, but I haven't come across a solution yet.

Anyways, my phone doesn't have power saver on, smart stay is off, and I have my security set to fingerprint unlock.

To the issue at hand - My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if my butt didn't always press the home button while the phone was my pocket.

I'd really hate to factory reset or flash another rom, as I just finished installing all of my apps and whatnot after a phone replacement. However if that is the only option to fix this problem, then I'm okay with doing so.

Thanks ahead of time for reading!
