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

Compass mode gone off Google wear maps after update

Hi everyone,
I just updated my Sony smart Watch 3 and the compass option has disappeared off the map app. I only have centre, searching around you and +-. Prior to the update I had the option to let the display to rotate as you moved which was really good. Has anyone else got the problem. All my apps on my s5 and the watch are up to date.
cheers

Has anyone else noticed Moto Body showing as an essential app since the recent Android Wear update? When selected it cannot locate the app. I'm wondering if this is something in the works...

Android Wear voice action to play music only works if the phone screen is on & unlock

Using Android Wear voice command "listen to..." or "play ..." will basically queue up my music and won't start playing until I unlock and/or turn my screen on. I've spent a bunch of time trying different music on my phone locally and streaming and each time I have to have my phone on for it to start playing. How can I fix this?

not receiving wear notifications from s6

I have my Galaxy S6 paired to my Lg G watch R and I am not receiving notifications. I am guessing the system is killing the android wear app from running in the background. Is their any way to keep the app running in the background?

Insane wakelocks when connected to wear.

Hi

When i'm connected to wear, I get insane wakelocks. I got 25k+ wakelocks in 10 minutes from the Android Wear app.

Suddenly it stopped, but I still had deep sleep problems (gets in deep sleep, but not much) so I checked wakelocks again and now Bluedroid_Timer 340 wakelocks in 1min.

Anyone know a fix for the second issue?

Thanks in advance

[APP] Wear screenshot | Take screenshots of your watch!

Hello everyone, recently I bought my first smartwatch, lg g watch, and the first that I wanted to make is share a screenshot with the watchfaces, android wear OS and how it works, but, although the oficial app of android wear has the capability to do screenshots, I was not able to share it through whatsapp, twiter... So I begin to develop my own app for my watch, and here is.
The app is so easy to use.

STEPS

1 - Go to android wear app, and click on take a screenshot.
2 - Then click on notification and select wear screenshot, the app.
3 - The app will appear and the image will be stored on the phone, then you can see the image, share it where you want and delete it.

So, the app is not free, but I want to share it here in xda, because thanks to the comunity and all the people here my previus app was a success for me, and then if do you think that the app worth it, you can purchase it.

If you have any idea of how to improve the app please leave me a comment.
Thanks!

[APP][ROOT] Wear screenshot | Take screenshots of your watch!

Hello everyone, recently I bought my first smartwatch, lg g watch, and the first that I wanted to make is share a screenshot with the watchfaces, android wear OS and how it works, but, although the oficial app of android wear has the capability to do screenshots, I was not able to share it through whatsapp, twiter... So I begin to develop my own app for my watch, and here is.
The app is so easy to use, although to make it work is necessary to have root permissions and bluetooth debuging enabled.

STEPS TO MAKE IT WORK:

1 - Without root acces the app will not work, so if you are not root please don't download the app.

2 - Enable ADB in both devices, to make this, tap 7 times in compilation number, then, go to a new option called developer options, and activate ADB.

3 - The last step is activate bluetooth in both devices again. On the watch, this option is below of the ADB option.
On the phone, go to the android wear app, and tap on settings, and if you have the ADB activated, then it will appear bluetooth debug.

4 - You need to make the step 2 and 3 when you want to make a screenshot.

So, the app is not free, but I want to share it here in xda, because thanks to the comunity and all the people here my previus app was a success for me, and then if do you think that the app worth it, you can buy it.

Android Wear stopped working and lag spikes

Hi all

I recently returned my Moto 360 because of the battery. Got the zenwatch. First cycle lasted me three days. Now in one night from 79% tot 39%... without usage?
I'm on 5.1.1

Aside from that I had a problem with Android Wear crashing on my watch and then it needs to be restarted (the process). Also I have lag like hell. Just poping out a menu with cause lag and slowness of the watch, after some time it just goes well again. Anyone experience lag issues with the Zenwatch? Reviews said it would run smoother than the Moto 360 ...but not for me yet;...
If I can't get it fixed I might return this one too and stay out of the smartwatches for some time.

Thanks
Jesse

Has anyone received today's (30 July 2015) Android Wear app update?

If so, could you please let me know what version of Google Play Services it installs on the watch. Slow rollout means I can grab it yet...

See if you can update it from here:
