Has anyone had any luck getting Whatsapp up and running on Wear OS?
I've sideloaded the APK, however my watch gets stuck at the profile info screen, as i'm unable to see the big green button which is located somewhere down the screen.
Basically i cant get past the screen where we enter our display name.
Any suggestions?

Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.
Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.
I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.
Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.
So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.
Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?
And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2

factory reset. don't know why it happened
I just noticed that an application was added to my home screen called Vchat. I didn't install this app. I checked the application manager and my account in the play store and this app doesn't appear in either. I'm not really sure what this is and what the best way to remove it is. I haven't clicked on it. I also notice random ads popping up after the unlocking the screen, though they are very sporadic.
I'm on a LG G5, the verizon version, running android 7.0.
Girlfriend also has this on her Samsung Galaxy A5, couldn't identify an app in app list which matched. Removed from home screen and hoped it was simply a sketchy weblink. Will follow post to ensure phone is secure or if an app needs removing. Seems to have appeared in last 24 hours.
I tried running avast and malwarebytes on my phone. Neither of those detected anything.
Came up 3/30
I Googled this yesterday, glad I did again today to find this forum. I bought this phone March 22nd and I am noticing my lock screen button stopped working around the same time the app appeared. This phone is brand new from amazon and I am about to return it, but something tells me this issue is software related as the button was working fine on 3/29 and now it clicks and is responsive to the touch, but it will only "sometimes" lock the screen. Right now it is fully functioning, but it will start to fail if I have too many apps open, or if I am running a game. It specifically won't work while in an app, but will work when on the home screen with no apps open.
On top of all of this, my phone has been getting weird ads, but male ware detection doesn't see it, also, the phone is a lot slower now. Whatever this is, I don't want to be connected to it.
Update: the v stands for Vietnamese. The app is some Vietnamese chatting service. Googled "vchat' you guess should try it too.

I did look it up and found that. I'm just trying to figure out how it got there and how to remove it.

I got frustrated trying to figure out how to remove this app, so I decided to restore the phone to factory defaults. I've only had the phone for a month, so I didn't have much on it.
Galaxy S5
I have a Galaxy S5 Android version 6.0.1 and this URL shortcut also appeared on my homesceen. Likewise I would like to know what app / service was used to create this advertisement so I can disable / uninstall it.
So I used the debloat thread to get rid of a lot of things (uninstalling stuff through adb shell). Only problem is I got an error randomly/occasionally that said "Galaxy apps has stopped..." and required me to press a button to get rid of the message. Things were fine so I lived with it, but recently I decided to try and uninstall some more stuff and hopefully get that message to go away.
Now my phone shows my background and says "Android is starting...". It just sits there with a loading bar moving.
I can swipe down the top of the screen and go into settings, then apps, and I can access all my apps, then view on Google Play store.. so I am able to open all my apps just fine, with a bunch of extra steps to get them open. I tested the alarm clock so I can wake up in the morning and it works fine also.
I tried booting into safe mode. I understand I may need to do a factory reset, but I was hoping to avoid going through that.
Any suggestions?
To add insult to injury as I sit here typing this the "Galaxy Apps has stopped" message popped up again! I wasn't even touching my phone lol.
Well, I figured that out.. I must have removed whatever Samsung uses as a launcher. I downloaded another launcher and instantly the "Android is starting" message went away.
Any way to get Samsung's launcher back? I kind of started to like it.. or is there another one you recommend I try?
Reload the firmware via odin
So I've been trying to connect my m20p to my Huawei W1, every time I get to the bit where it says I need to allow Notifications it just crashes and goes back to asking me which account I want to link and the watch just loops "continue set up on phone"
If I skip the the Allow Notification bit, the watch does pair and I can load apps, so I have linked my account, but I can not get notifications to work...
The watch has just updated to the latest version of Wear OS (though it didn't work with the m20p before that either) and works absolutely fine with other phoes, including a Pixel 2 on Pie.
Getting a bit pissed off with this phone tbh.
I found that clearing the cache & data from the google framework fixed quite a few little issues like this
Hi thanks can you let me know how you did this? I could only find cache?
Did that but it is still crashing as soon as I try to enamel notifications on the setup...
Hi
I fixed the wear OS issue by granting access to notifications to the wear OS application.
In settings search notification access > select notification access > toggle wear OS
Brilliant. Thank you!
Apologies for the convoluted story, it's been a weird evening.
I installed a new Philips Hue light, and so as usual I unlinked Hue from Home, to relink and update the new light (I didn't know about the "sync devices" command). Except, this time, Hue wouldn't link, no matter what I tried. I got in touch with Hue support, and they suggested creating a new home and linking that to Hue. But now, when I tried that, I got "Unable to create home" error messages - except that the new home names appeared in my account settings (although nowhere else). At this point I uninstalled and reinstalled Home - now, the app wouldn't even connect to my Google account at all. I fiddled around a bit, and managed to get onto one of the new homes I'd created, but my original home had disappeared. I deleted the new homes, and checked my original home on my partner's account. On her account, I could connect to Hue no problem, nothing was different (wish I'd tried it earlier!). I tried to invite myself back into the home, but the app won't open the invite - clicking it opens the app, but doesn't do anything else. I also once again can't make new homes.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
You should refer to the publisher's instructions

I had the same issue, when I just bought my TV. Tech support didn't really help me, so I replaced this TV with another model
Yea even i had the same problem.
