So there is this app out there called "Wearable Widgets" that can send any widget to your SW2 from your base phone. I was thinking what if there was a widget that could emulate Android Wear watch faces or apps? We could combine the two into hacking Android Wear apps onto the SW2. Are there any? Or does anyone know of another way? I'd love to have the Ingress app on my SW2!

Many of the apps that I want notifications for on my watch don't send the notifications to the watch (they are only on the phone). For example I use "Calendar Snooze", but the alerts only appear on my phone.
Is this just because the "Calendar Snooze" app needs to be updated? Is there an app that will collect other non-wear compatible app's notifications and send them to the watch (something similar to "Rich Notifications" for the pebble)
You could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jonasbark.wearnotifications I did nit test it though.
I believe those apps have to be updated to support Android Wear.
Everyone including myself has the issue where once a day my phone stops getting notifications on my phone. It seems to be pretty wide spread but at the same time, some people don't have the issue at all. Which makes me think maybe it's a 3rd party app killing notification. So anyone who has the notification issue list all of your apps and maybe we will find one we all have in common.
To make this easy grab the app "List my apps" from the app store and edit the plain text template to remove the package name and just give you nice list of apps you can copy and paste .

Ok seeing how nobody is responding to my thread let me ask everyone this
How many people with the notification issue are running facer?
When I started having notification issues this was my app list:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear
- Weather WatchFace
- Specialized WatchFace
- Planets WatchFace
- Swing by Swing Golf Scorecard
I then uninstalled all watchface apps and apps I don't use and reset Android Wear and the watch:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear

Thanks for responding. But I Recommend you give a full android application list. Because other applications do push notifications such as Textra.
does acDisplay install on Android Wear? because i only listed my watch apps - which is where the problem is. The watch. Not the phone. At least not in my case.
In my case, the watch was receiving notifications, but wasn't alerting me of them.

I think this is why people wont respond because there are simply too many apps. Each person on here probably has 20-50 that are completely different from the next person. It would take a monumental effort to find a commonality between devices, something that should be Google's responsibility. It will simply be too difficult to filter through all the different apps people are using amongst each other.
The best attempt at self-diagnosis would be to just run your phone in a vanilla state and progressively installs apps one after the other over a period of several days to see if you can break the watch, then you would know which app is causing it. For instance the only apps I have really pushing notifications are Gmail, Google Messenger, and Exchange email. However even then, by just having Gmail connected I am going to get other things like Calendar updates, ToDo reminders, etc. Some things we may not even be able to disable so we'll never know where the culprit is.
Ultimately it shouldnt really be any of the apps since everything worked fine before the damn update to 5.x. Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade to 4.x?

If people would post using the app I mentioned above. I'll sort through and find a common denominator.
Does anyone know how I can remove the faces that WatchMaker shows *on the android wear device*, as I have tons on there now, but i have deleted the matching faces from the app on my phone.
It annoys me having to scroll through so many on the wear device.
There doesn't seem to be any way to Clear Data on Android Wear through the Apps section of the app..
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the phone application but the faces come back when the Wear app re-syncs over to the watch.
Short of Resetting the watch I cant see a way to fix it!
Swipe up on watch face in watch selector
I have no idea how I didn't spot that myself, but thank you
Another way is an app Apollo wear inspector it shows everything on your watch, ie browsers etc and you can take them off from the App. I prefer this as I can see on a page what styles I've got on ATM and if there are too many say divers I can thin them out.

Hi,
My setup is:
Sony smartwatch 3 with android wear 1.4.0.2715035
Note 5 with 6.0.1
Before i upgraded the android wear to the new version, each morning i had a notification of the current Weather.
Now the only option to see it - i need to open on my watch the Google app and there i can see the Weather update.
Is there any option to bring it back ? (tried to play with settings on google now cards - on and off to the weather options)
*Please note i still get notification from google now like "30min to home" the google maps update
Thanks in advance

I get weather notifications but I use a weather widget on my Phone for the weather... So maybe try that... there are quite a few that support wear .
No weather card on my SW3 since a long time, same things happen also on my LG-R since few days.
I use now an app "Weather Timeline" wich send weather card on wear watch like the Google Now Card but with a next forecast hours and next few day screen. More option to refresh and select provider source.
Stock Android is near perfect. However I have a strong dislike for it's launcher as it won't allow sorting apps manually or creating folders in the app drawer. I don't like Nova type launchers either as they still sort apps alphabetically despite offering app category functionality. Can anybody port Samsung's native launcher for stock Android?
