Is there a way to set my new Moto 360 as a trusted bluetooth device on my LG G3? I like having a pin set but would love to not have to type it in if I have my 360 on. It looks like its not a built in option but is there an app that will work the same?
There are several apps that can do this
Edit : wear unlock and the Pebble unlocks apps chine to mind I believe both are paid

Did you find one? I had been using Skip Unlock with my Pebble but I haven't been able to make it work with the 360.
Very late response, sorry. No, i didn't find one to work. I'm just waiting until Android L releases. Its supposed to be built in.
Haha suck it G watch R!

Nice update
The update work for anyone? I got it but have been unable to set any of the new faces to the watch. They don't show up. Maybe something screwy with my oneplus....

I have it and it is working. You may need to give it a few minutes for the new faces to be transferred to the watch. They appear just like the original stock faces.
It is nice to have the award winning Moto but it is a shame they didn't add any of the additional features such as weather or battery percentage. I think the clone of the face that boostr29 did for facer is still nicer. The Motorola face likely uses much less battery power though. Wear 2.0 should let people create much more involved faces that can display more information such as unread email etc.
If you havn't got the update yet or want to see what they are like, I took a photo of all the new watch faces:

Pascuals a favourite, I'm sure the My Design will be better in time... It won't be good for anything beyond casual usage though - you need to crop the image for it yourself, and the ticker hands you can't customize outside of the preset options they have.
Yeah, the My Design is quite limited for now, and you can't set large preview cards on it. But at least there's now the option/toggle to add the date to all of the other watchfaces too, which is handy.
Generally this is a bit of an odd update, as it just adds Moto Body features that replicate existing Fit ones, except for Calories. Now we have again the typical Android mess of duplicated features, despite Google's efforts to control Wear.
I dont understand how anyone can use a white face. That flat tire looks terrible. I always run a black face, so its not too noticable.

Try to restart the watch. It worked after I did a restart.
Same issue here. I've restarted the watch, reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled both Android Wear and the Connect app. None of the new apps or watch faces will show up on the watch.
I just wish the date option was a bigger font. My old eyes have a hard time seeing it.

The app is a ton of fun, hopefully they continue to expand it. I have several pictures that work great with the DIY watch face.
Yeah I'm loving this, the custom pictures are nice and hi resolution!
Thx for sharing. Had moto connect app disabled.
How are u guys getting the update? I don't see it on playstore?

Nvm. Odd. I had to search for the app and then it said update. Would not show up automatically.
My phone wouldn't find Connect update (kept telling me Connect was up to date)
On my PC, I visited -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.targetnotif while it said installed, when I clicked the Install button I was able to pick my Moto X, and click OK.. After that, the X notified me of the app downloading and installing. I now have the update.
Seems like the best faces are the one's that create the illusion of a round face by having some sort of inner circle that is not disrupted by the flat tire look. Basically you tune it out since all the major eye candy is above it, only the tiny hash marks are broken which you barely notice anyway. Having a full white face or roman numerals makes it very obvious there is a screen break at the bottom.

I'm facing the same problem as well. It finally worked for me after I uninstall android wear, moto connect, facer and watch maker. Reset moto 360 and reinstall android wear and moto connect and the new watch face appears.

I wound up having to reset the Moto X altogether. Somehow, I think swapping between a work-week phone (Note 4) and a weekend phone (Moto X) got some apps stuck on the watch that weren't on either phone anymore. When I reset the Moto X and then reset the 360, it stared to work correctly.
Too bad beelink dont work anymore else can easily switch devices with the watch.

Hey guys,
I had Facer running great and all of a sudden today when I look at my watch, all I see is a black face. When I long press on the screen, it brings up all the default Moto 360 watchfaces but not Facer.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facer as well as resyncing all apps from the Moto 360 app with no joy.
Anyone experiencing the same? Any hints on how to fix it?
Facer updated app to Android Wear 5.0
So I just took a look and as I had suspected, Facer recently updated via Google Play. The release notes state that Facer only works on Android Wear 5.0 ... WTF?
I see that I am on 4.4 with no option to upgrade. Any suggestions?
Downgrade facer or wait for 5.0 . They jumped the gun and pushed publish button too soon which sucks.
It's android WEAR 5.0, on your watch not on your phone...
We will get the update to your watch starting tonight

Anyone have the Facer version before this one, the apk for it anyway.
Edit: Screw it, had some Play Store credit and bought Watchmaker.
Just got another update, and Facer is working again. (still didn't get the Android Wear update, just facer)
EDIT: Nevermind... I just got a "Facer has stopped working" message on the 360, and my watch face is blank. Rebooted 360, and it does the same after a few minutes. Will go back to a stock face until my 360 gets updated.
it should be back up.. there was an update today that only supported android wear 5.0.. i installed it and facer disappeared.. later in the day another update appeared.. this fixed it...
just try to change the watch face to something else and back to your current one..
hello all,
I have just bought Moto 360. I have latest android phone. just bought Facer.
my watch could connect to android wear and motoconnect. once I installed Facer/watchmaker I could see their logos in my watch, But the problem is when I tries to sync my watch screen becomes blank, I could see the green Tick mark on the app, that means the app has successfully sync the watch face. but my moto 360 shows nothing, just a blank screen.
please help..
Thanks
I get this sometimes too. Try switching back to a default watchface then switching back to Facer (for Android 5).

+1 Make sure you are using the watchface for your version of android wear and give it a minute or so to fully sync. The green checkmark just means the face has been sent to the device, not that the device is done applying it. :good:

You should have 2 icons on your watch: one called "Facer" and the other called "Facer for Android Wear 5". Make sure that your Facer app on the phone is on the latest version (version 1.1.02).
And your Moto 360 software should be on the latest version. Go to your watch Settings -> About and ensure the software version is 5.0.1. If not, scroll down to the bottom of the same screen and choose "System Updates".
You don't need your phone Android version to be 5. Mine is also on 4.4.4.

Thanks !
finally , it was a watch. I got the replacement and now everything is back to normal. The only problem I have noticed is some of the watches are not syncing... I could import those faces to the faces app, I can send those to my watch..but my phone vibrates but I cant get the face...just a blank (Black ) screen.
my phone / app and watch all r up-to date with the latest software. I could also see 2 facer logos, one is jut "Facer" and other is "Facer for 5"
I have tried both but no luck for those few faces.
Any idea? thanks

As per my 1st reply, after syncing and you still see a black screen, try switching back to a default watchface then switching back to Facer (for Android 5). If not, it might be an issue with the watchface itself.
Any roms or cool tips?
That's a great question, I'd like to know this too.

There's an outdated ROM called Gohma that hasn't been supported since January 2015. That's about it. So to answer your question, there isn't one. Building the cable necessary to do it is kind of fun, though, even though I'm pretty sure that I shorted something on my watch by attempting to use it.
Yea it would very cool to have different roms . Let me ask you this can you set the default fitness tracker on the moto? Like if i don't wana use moto fitness. Can I use Google fit. Also does Nike running work with moto 360? Thank you I am thinking of getting one
Well, for me, I would use "advanced settings" which needs rooted device to increase vibrations, because I can't feel notifications, or increase vibrations through system files. And I'm sure, there has to be some file, where I can completely disable heart sensor, because imho it consumes battery alot.

I don't use any of the fitness functions of my 360, but I do know that you can block the notifications of any app that shows up on your watch. So in your case, you can block the notifications of moto fitness (It's called Moto Body, actually) and keep the notifications of google fit. This is a native feature of the OS. No rooting or ADB trickery required.
Oh okay. Because I don't want to use a moto body. Does the moto have 360 have GPS?
No, Moto 360 does not have gos.
For me, the biggest thing it being able to disable screen wake on touch. Honestly, I don't understand why they didn't include that option in the settings.
Rooting just isn't possible on 5.1.1, from what I've read, anyway. It would be nice if @okibi updated Gohma to 5.1.1, but we'd have to downgrade first and I don't think that's possible.
