So I downloaded Google Fit a week ago thinking it synced with my watch because it shows my activity. However the G Watch does not show up anywhere under connected apps in Google Fit. And to further prove that it does nothing I just did a bunch of activity with just my watch on and my phone sitting still. My watch says I have 1 minute of activity and 50 steps.
This entire time I thought Google Fit was taking info from my watch turns out its just displaying the activity it detects from my phone onto my watch. Thats crap :/. Does anybody know how to have Google Fit use your watch and ignore your phone altogether?
I actually want to know the same thing.
How the F, do you sync the steps etc with other apps (e.g. MS Healtvault which I use to track weight).
Mine didn't appear to be syncing either. It looked like the phone always overrid the watch. To see if it would help, I rebooted my watch. I hadn't rebooted it since updating to the latest version of the Android Wear app and installing Google Fit on my phone (LG G3). Then I tried a little test. At the time, both my the Fit app on my phone and the watch said 1099 steps. I went for a walk, leaving my phone behind, and went far enough that the watch disconnected. When I returned, my watch said 1324 steps. I made sure my phone had a data connection (as far as I can tell, need a data/internet connection for it to sync properly), and waited. A minute or so after the watch reconnected to the phone, both devices displayed 1099 again. Then about another minute later, they both updated to 1325 steps. In my case, it appears to take a little while for the sync to occur.
The watch must keep track of steps and fitness information that it then syncs with the phone. I don't even have Google Fit (or any other fitness app) installed on my phone, yet the watch does keep track of my steps and I get Google notification cards on the watch with my daily totals. This information can only come from the watch.

Yup. Now please do tell how to get this info reliably into other services?
I do a lot of running/cycling, and i still can't find a way to sync the results from my watch to my phone.
Also, neither my lg g watch, nor the apps i use show in attached Devices and apps in fit, even though runtastic (for example) supports it.
Anyone ever figure out anything?

I can't seem to reconnect my watch after I change my rom even though I backup and restore every app. It hasn't been too much of a problem since I could just reset the watch and have it all set up in a few minutes. But since we can store offline music now, it is a very long process. I had to redownload every song. Is there a way to just reconnect the watch without resetting it?
Try to pair it from watch, i mean put ur phone on discoverable mode and let ur watch search for it and then pair ur phone from ur watch,hope it helps

Thanks, I will give that a try next time. Have you successfully re-paired your watch to your phone after a rom change?

I've had to "reset" the watch which is found under the watch settings menu. This forces you to re-pair the watch and establish the connection again.

Yeah, that is what I have been doing. But that requires all the music to be re-downloaded which takes hours. I'm hoping there is a way to get around that.

what do you mean by redownloading music? the G Watch doesn't have a speaker to play music from.
All it can do is interact with your phone and allow you to switch music, lower and increase volume etc from your watch.
So all the music files should be on your phone, not on your watch.
Resetting the G Watch doesn't affect your phone in any way,shape or form.
With google play music, downloaded music on your phone are transferred to your watch. Then pair Bluetooth buds/speakers to your watch, then you can play the songs from your watch, even without the phone.
Apparently the OP is having a problem: each time you reset the watch to connect to a new phone rom, the music is lost.

what a incredibly useless feature if you ask me, the G watch is not designed to be without phone anyway. (Besides the fact it only has 2gb of storage, only 1/5th of my music would fit on it.)
that aside, yes, resetting the watch is just like any factory reset on any device. every partition gets reset, that includes user data.
thus you lose the music.
I believe I re-paired the watch before without factory resetting it, just had to re-sync all my apps after it connected.
Though I'm not sure how I did it back then.

While it may not be a useful feature for you, for others who like to work out with music, it may be more convenient to take just take your watch and headphones without lugging around your nexus 6 when running your laps. Unless you are running a marathon, 2-3 gigs of music would be plenty.
To the OP, I am a flashoholic and use MultiROM on my Nexus 5 and switch between three different ROMS regularly, Without BeeLink, I don't think we have a solution yet.

Since no one has really said anything...I found a way that might work and you can try. Open up the wear app and hit the three buttons in the top right of the app. Hit the pair with new wearable and let it find the watch. Then follow the original process.
When this happened to me I had to reflash a custom Rom since I was using one before. It was the only way I could get my watch seen in my phone.
As the topic says, the watch won't show any google cards. It just happened out of the blue. It used to show cards like weather and so on but all of a sudden i stopped. Notifications overall works like a charm, it's just the cards. On my phone (N6P) the cards are fully functional and enabled. Everything is up to date.
What i've tried:
- Unpair the watch (also a factory reset)
- Disable and enable cards on the phone
- Re-installed Android Wear
The thing is also that if I press the Google app on the watch, it shows weather, it does not prompt for enabling Google Now on the phone. I'm so confused. I re-installed everything last night.
same problem here
Nexus 6P (newest Chroma ROM) and Huawei Watch Classic
Same for me.
Newest Google Search App (5.11.31.19) doesnt seem to help either.
OnePlus One (CM13 nightlies) + Moto 360v2
I've had contact with Motorola via e-mail and what they have recommended so far is to unpair the watch, remove Google account from phone, remove android wear, add the account again, install android wear and re-pair the watch.
Did not work for me. Waiting for further advice.
Same here.

Glad it's not just me. Hope they fix it soon.
I somehow had it working again for the last few days (dont know what made it work). But today when I woke up in the morning the watch wasn't showing the Google now card again! (Again I don't know what changed :/ )
This bug is appearing really weirdly. Hope it gets fixed soon
Mine just started working again randomly yesterday. Not sure what triggered it. Maybe an app update.
I start to believe it's intentional, the cards will show up if there is anything apart(!) from weather (in my case upcoming football matches), and it will never directly show the weather, but say something like "1 more from Google" (dunno about the english term it uses). If your only card is the weather one, it won't be there.
I am having the same issue with my watch as well. I just reset the watch and deleted the android wear app and deleted all settings and reset the phone and watch up. Still not working.
After a 30 minute phone call to Moto tech support I was told that the issue is a defective watch and they offered to send me out a replacement watch. I told them I would thank about and get back to them. I am pretty sure it is not a watch hardware issue but a software issue.
Ever since I got the most software update earlier July 2017 on my Zenwatch 2, my Zenwatch 2's battery is horrible, it barely last 10 hours with a little usage with brightness set to lowest. I did factory reset hope to fix the issue, after I did factory reset I was trying to download my watch face back to my watch, I noticed it is not showing up at all so I try download any other watch faces and none of it are showing on the Android Wear app. Currently I am stuck using only stock watch faces. Anyone else having similar issue?
You have to add the custom watch faces in face designer on the watch. Swipe left and tap add more watch faces at the right hand end of the list of watch faces. You need to also have the custom watch face app or apps installed on both your phone and watch.
You will need to go into your play store on the watch and add the custom face apps to the watch. You should see any app that is on your phone and which has a complimentary watch app in the list at the bottom of the scroll called apps on your phone.

I did do that, before the new update any watch faces I download show up in the Android Wear app, right now none of the custom watch faces I download are showing in Android Wear.
They won't. It works a bit different now. You have to use the app that comes with each one to manage them and then add them to your watch as I detailed.

I noticed only the watch faces I download directly from the Watch's Play store showed up on my watch and my Android Wear app, but any watch faces I download from Play store on my phone is not showing up on neither my watch or Android Wear, so base on what I found out is that if any of my previous purchase of watch faces didn't found on the app store on my watch that basically mean it is not supported in the latest version of Android Wear.
That could bead well. Just like anything the app developer has to update his or her app to work with aw 2.0

You must go on the "PlayStore" app on YOUR watch and look at the section "app from phone" to install faces/apps wich is yet on your phone. With Wear 2, phone faces/apps are not automatically installed on the watch. Users must install all or only the one they want.

If that the case then I will say I HATE this update, it used to be so easier if I want to download watch face on my watch I can download on my phone Play Store then it will automatically add to my watch. Also I quite sure new update rendered my Zenwatch's battery unusable, my battery drop 100% to 5% within 10 hours, I used to get to able through almost 2 full days without charging it.
Have you performed a factory reset on the watch?

Yes, twin already. Didn't helped for now I am force to turned off ambient mode and set brightness to lowest just get watch with usable battery life again though still no luck getting back the watch face "LED Time" I purchased download to my watch. I am currently addressing this issue to the developer who made that face watch so hopefully that issue can be fixed from the developer who design the watch face. I am extremely irritated with new update that screw up my watch. By the way trying find watch face on my watch by typing in name with small tiny screen was fun! (sarcasm). I wish someone would make those developers who released the latest Android Wear update to type on their Smartwatch with their life depend on it.
Turn off automatic wifi as that uses lots of power and likely you did not have that turned on with 1.5
My battery life was pretty bad for a few days after the update, but once I let it run down completely and die, then charge to 100% it was back to normal.

I hope that is the case, I charge my watch to 100% took it off the charger around 1pm by 11pm my battery life down to 5%. Since I turn ambient mode off battery seen to getting better even though I previously had ambient turn on the entire time before the update and my watch managed to last almost 2 full days.

Actually I did have my wifi turn on as well as ambient turn on before 2.0 update. that was my setting and it lasts me almost 2 days. I don't use my watch to make call or send text message, I mainly use it just to check a few notification though out the day and obviously to tell time so I don't have heavy usage on it.
The latest update to the Android Wear app on your phone.should allow watch face modding and changes once again from the app.
The app for iOS is a disaster...
Time ago was used to sync with Strava, used then to transfer data to the phone Health app, but Strava is no longer connected since v2 (I've tried everything).
But the most tiring is that time to time app update erases the app parameters, with loss of all the data on the phone and the need to re-sync the watch to the phone. Result: all data gets lost, and have to restart with a tedious watch/phone pairing process, quite cumbersome when having the CN version of the watch (this time it is refusing the paring regardless I've switched the phone to Chinese region ).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Is it better with the Android app?
Thanks
After 5 bug fixing releases, it works again
Dear, I have opened so many tickets with Amazfit, tried everything.. but at the end , the only thing to do was to wait for them to fix the app. Now it seems to be ok. Since app 2.06
It's a running theme with iPhone users that 3rd party accessories don't work properly.
These days when I see someone complain of an issue with a 3rd party device, my first though is that they are probably using an iPhone.
If you don't want to exclusively use apple accessories then it might be time to switch to android.
Hi, I own this watch for 2 weeks now and everything was working fine until the day before yesterday, I opened Amazfit app w/o Internet connection (was not aware at the time, automatic task) so I was kicked out from app and been asked to relogin, cool I did so and then my data been wiped: no steps, no sleep, no HR, weight was all that left (and the only thing that is still working).
So I tried to reboot both watch and phone (Xiaomi Mi6), no luck, also tried to let it be and see the other day, no luck, now it is 3rd day when I am keep seeing no data is going through.
I tried to force manual sync on the watch in Settings that went just fine with successful message after 100%, in the end I unpaired watch (factory reset), still no luck.
Someone told me me to try N&F app and it does read all the data, so how come official app does not, any ideas?
BTW: from time to time Amazfit app shows me that there is not connected devices and when I go to my profile under Amazfit Stratos it shows "Not activated". I activate it every time it says not activated, but it changes nothing about data.
Hello bro, got same problem, Amazfit app stopped syncing activities for few days now. However it's syncings steps properly. Can't work it out, hope someone will help us.
hello, sometimes this happens when there are problems with servers from Xiaomi. That is why there are problems with synchronization and downloading weather data. Usually it lasts from several hours to several days, it is not a continuous problem, There are also problems logging in to the Xiaomi account. I recommend patience and wait a few days.

I hope so, but when servers are down or something is wrong with them it should not work for everyone and not just one person I believe.
I am worried because I have been using huami bands for years now and nothing like this has happened in the past (in MiFit app).
It's been a week now, is official app really that bad? On day 1, 2 and 3 I was able to force sync watch from it's settings (of course I was getting nothing in app anyway), then I could not even manually sync it to amazfit servers.
All this time I'm also using Notify & Fitness for Amazfit to store my data (which works fine)..
Same here... when synchronization works, then Strava upload doesnt work. Now Strava work, but synchro with app doesnt. xD
Waiting for Xiaomi respond.

Same issue for me, on 25th October all activity information on the Amazfit App has stopped being shown. A few days later the same is also true with the step graphics information. I'm running iOS 13.2.2 and the Amazfit App 3.4.5. What is weird is that the information is being sent to Strava and also being held by Apple Health. Just nothing is being shown on the Amazfit iOS App. Sleep, heart rate are all working OK, it is just that I have not record of steps taken over the day when you click on the Walking Man icon (which takes you to the Steps screen) or any activities logged such as running or walking. Up until now I have been very impressed with the Stratos watch and the APP. Does anyone have a recommended fix yet? Watch has the latest firmware installed. Thx

Hi,
in fact, i resolve my problem alone (thanks amazfit support :mad : )
Before all, i backup all my watch (with AmazeBKP_v1.2)
IMPORTANT, put the watch in airplane if you don't want loosing all your sport activity into the watch.
i'll explain what i do:
1. put the watch in airplane
2. try to see if the watch is connected to amazfit app, normally no, because it is in airplane.
3. if you don"t see the watch, go to amazfit app, and remove the watch from your account.
4. log off from amazfit app
5. Remove the app
6. reinstall the app !
7. logon with your account
8. add the watch ! ... now, for adding a watch to amazfit you need a QR Code... but, if you want a QR Code, you need to reset your watch ! nooooooooooooooooo !!!!!
open a cmd, go in a folder where there are adb (personnally i use adb from amazeBKP), and type: adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity
9. the watch QR code appear, you can add it in your amazfit account.
10. force synchronize data from the watch (need wifi)
11. wait a few minute
With this step my amazfit app work again, and i retreive my 179 Sport session ! OUF !!!
For your information if you don't put the watch in airplane first, when you will remove the watch from your account, the watch will be reset automatically and you loose all !!!
Regards

From today for me, sync working too.
In my case I cannot sync sport activities without doing a manual upload first. Amazfit app stays at 10% for more than a minute and then the message disappears.
Anyone else had this problem?

The bad news is Ultra Mode doesn't have manual sync, so if you use it and there is a workout not syncing, you lose it.
