I was able to use the watch today while driving and it was great. Nice to switch apps and send texts, navigate, send myself notes, etc.
Quick question. So if my phone screen is off and sitting in cradle, is there a watch command that I can "say" to turn the screen on my phone?
Thanks.

No, you have to tap the screen, or move the watch in a position like if you were gona talk to it. Wich is good, otherwise everyone would be able to start talking to your watch

I think the question was in regards to controlling the phone via the watch commands.
I haven't seen anyway to turn the phone screen on by a watch command. Everything I've told to open on phone will keep the screen off but load it in the background for when you turn it on. My guess is so you don't tap something you don't want pulling it out of your pocket.

Yes there is a way to do this. But it's a little more complicated. You will need tasker, autovoice and the xposed framework with the google now api module. Look over here and do the same with a tasker task to turn on the screen (secure settings plugin needed). I'm quite sure that's the only way, but you will have to disable ART and install all these apps (5 in total).

You're right, I misread the question... The only app that opens on the phone and turns on the screen via a watch command here is my navigation from google maps (navigate home, navigate to work).

Thanks for this, but I was hoping for something a bit more simpler, like "turn screen on."
I have been looking for a way to make suggestions to the Wear team but I haven't been able to find anything. Anyway, I thought that this would be a command that could be useful at some point.

Is it possible to program a NFC tag to disable security on our phones? I'm thinking it's a no but it would be nice to be able to walk into my house, tap the tag and never have to put in my pattern. Then when I leave tap it again to turn in on to keep my friends out or anyone if I lost it.
It doesn't seem like the Samsung NFC app or NFC Task Launcher can do this.

My guess is it would have to be an application that has root privileges in order to accomplish this. COuld be an interesting use for NFC. I used to use an application in my PC that would listen for my Phone's B to pair with my desktop and unlock/lock my PC. I specifically used to as an automatic way to lock my desktop when I walked away from my desk with my phone.
BUMP!
This seems like a great idea. Try PhoneWeaver. I use it to do alot of those things. Its more of a profile changer
I used to use Unlock with WIFI however it says I can't use a pattern lock anymore since the last update and doesn't seem to play well with ICS either. I'll take a look at that Phone Weaver though.
Every time I use Pandora or Smart Remote, the controls that they place on the lock screen stay there until I reset the phone. I have even killed the apps and services, but they still stay until a restart. Does anyone know what is going on, or how to get rid of them?
Thanks

I don't know about Pandora as I don't use it on the phone, but I assume is just like the other one, but Smart remote on your lockscreen is simply an option in app's settings, is clearly there, reset the phone seem too drastic when all that you need is simply turn that option off.
Morale of this is, when you have an app doing unexpected things, just look for that in the app's settings, most if not all the time you will find there what's causing it.

Yes but that really doesn't get to the root of the problem which is the remote staying on lockscreen after you close/kill the app. Logically the remote lockscreen should be on when the app is running in the background, indicating the user is still interested in having remote control functionality, but should remove itself from the lock screen once the app is closed. I shouldn't have to unchecked that setting everytime before closing the app just to get rid of the lockscreen. killing the app should also get rid of it's lockscreen extension..and it doesn't.

ya know I always thought that that was a strange behavior but it has always been like that since I got the S5. As far as smart remote goes, once you enable it in settings it seems to just permanently add it to the lock screen until you restart. It should go away though if you open up settings for smart remote and disable show on lockscreen. Just kind of a pain in the neck to do it every time.
I use pandora everyday and i havent had this problem. i dont use the remote control.
This may be a dumb question, but is there a way to launch Wear apps without using voice? For example, Evernote Wear seems to require that I use voice or pull out my phone and open the Evernote app. That seems to defeat the purpose of having a screen on my wrist that responds to touch...
Is it there if you go into the voice search menu and then scroll down? That's where the settings and things are so I'd expect apps to be listed there.

Yeah, it appears you have to go to the voice menu, scroll all the way to the bottom and tap "Start..." to see the list of apps. Seems like kind of a kludgy way to do it, but I'm just glad there's an option.
I think the watch is mainly made to be navigated by voice.

This. It works just fine with voice, but it gets awkward in public when you have to say "ok google open notes". Hopefully they will add a feature to launch apps directly from the homescreen as the scrolling down in the voice menu takes way longer than opening the app on the phone anyway.

I hope someone can help, I have installed watch droid on both watch and phone, however when I try to run watch droid, it detects my watch and then informs me that I have and update. +++ then a big green tick appears.
When the watch tries to update I get a message . "your watch has blocked the update for security purposes" then the connection drops out.
Then i only get an option to press agree, if I press disagree or the 'X' I get "install failed" message and the loop starts again.
I was really hoping for Watch Droid phone to work as it seemed like the most useful app for the Amazfit so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks internet people.
you need to install manually the apk, or use this installer:

Watch wear assistant / phone app
I was attempting to use this app with a KW88 smartwatch. Downloaded fine to the watch but here is my problem. I have an iPhone. Is there a way or alternative app for iPhone? Thanks!

Nope, if you wan't 3rd party devices to work correctly with you smartphone you should have bought an Android phone. If you want a smartwatch that works correctly with an iPhone your options are the apple watch, the apple watch or the apple watch.
KW88 smartwatch
If there is an option to make calls and respond to text messages on the KW88 then which app needs to be downloaded? WII watch does not offer those options. KW88 connects to both android and OIS.

If your watch's companion app on iOS doesn't do what you need, then there is not much you can do. Watch Droid works only with Android (you can infer that from its name). It should work with KW88, but you'd better try to get some help from the watch's specific forum or some Watch Droid forum (I don't know if there is one for it here on XDA). Good luck.
Works perfectly with a DM2018 (except it increases battery consumption quite a lot if you stay connected 24/24): it is the only one I found that keep the BT connection stable (the recommended FunDo in its standard version just didn't accept my phone number -that of the SIM card- as a valid one. The pro version did but did not maintain a stable BT connection. If you install from apk you must first authorize installation from 3rd party sources. I tested BT Connection and a few others: same instability.

You need to authorize 3rd party apks. Check settings;
Hello. I have some problems with watch droid. With incoming calls, I have a standard call on my watch, not a watchdroid call. How to disable the standard display of a call. In the Amazphite application, I disabled the push notifications. I forbade the Amazite to work in the background and stopped it and now the call goes through the watchdroid, but as soon as I start the amazfit all over again, and I need to go to the settings of the phone to stop it again. Each time there is no desire to do this. Can everything be made easier? And immediately the second question: how do I respond to incoming calls using watchdroid? Now only 3 buttons: without sound, reject, paper airplane (printed answer).
Thank you.
quick question...can i have both amazfit app and watch droid connected? It seems i can only have one or the other
Let's collect our discovered bugs of this device. Here are mine:
Default Launcher setting is lost upon reboot. In my case I set Hypersion as default, reboot and the setting is gone. I have to reset and sometimes eben force close the stock launcher or I will still end up on stock when I go back from an app.
GPS coordinates are often wrong in exif of taken photos.
Android Auto freezes as soon as the phone goes into standby.
9gag stays empty and needs to be closed if it was in background.
Google Photos is super laggy due to scoped storage limitations in Android 11. Especially while deleting pictures. Maybe not an device specific issue.
Gboard overlays on places it shouldn't, in any app, only way to fix is to close the app completely.
Game Space app resets everytime I restart my phone, additionally, unhides games, meaning I've gotta flick the switch each time.
Oppo App Market, when I update a app and press install, the install prompt repeatedly refreshes even if the apps installed successfully, only resolve is to close the app completely, and refresh the update page.
Notification panel stays grey even with enhanced dark mode.
App drawer cannot be customized at all, not even row layout.
Swipe up gestures seem to have a hang when swiping up from the centre, also affects keyboard too.
UI glitches in certain apps.
Oppo App Market now persistently requests read app usage permission.
File Manager has a hang upon opening varies between 1-4 seconds.
Microphone volume on social media applications is ridiculously low.
I realize that app drawer customisation & notification panel colour, aren't bugs, however they're very annoying.
Where do we report bugs to Oppo? Cant find it anywhere
Pressing "Close all" disconnects Garmin watch, as it seems to shutdown Bluetooth in the process. Reported to Oppo. No response.

It does not shutdown Bluetooth but the plugin app that is running in the background and is needed to communicate with the watch. Same thing with Samsung active plugin - when I hit close all I get a notification that the plugin restarted itself.

I just sent them an email to their Australian support email address.
There are plenty in the Color OS 11 update. Here's another one... Using "Keep screen on while charging" in Developer Options to circumvent the annoying Android Auto issue, and Navigation pops up with no way of canceling it, even after the phone is disconnected from USB. The only way to get rid of this notification is to restart the phone. Oppo really shouldn't have pushed such a buggy update without proper testing.
Edit... Seems this bug doesn't even need to have android auto activated, just charging via my car's USB port will trigger the navigation bug. Any way to rollback to Android 10? More problems than this is worth.

Don't know about that but personally I don't see any reason to ever hit "close all" in the first place.
Good evening from France to the whole XDA community!
I have a problem on my Oppo Find X2 PRO: it often happens that when I call or someone calls me, no sound is picked up by the phone when I speak. My caller can't hear me.
I wonder if this is related to the use of a Bluetooth device (my speaker, my headset) before?
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
I would add that a simple reboot is enough to correct the problem...
