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 just bought my Moto 360 1st gen and was looking around the forums for general issues, fixes and tips. I noticed that everyone uses the settings cog (In Android Wear) and selects the watch and has access to battery statistics but when I go to the same menu I can only check my Watch Storage, I did not do a reset yet. Any tips how to fix or is it just an incompatibility with my Phone? Also my battery usage is wonky, but as far as I saw on the forums it's like this for the first week.
Running Android Wear 1.3 and watch os 5.1.1, also my phone is P8 Lite w 5.0.1

Hmmm you have the same problem like me
Just bought a Moto360, but I find out that they have removed this such statistics ....dunno why it was some kind useful
I am on Android 12 latest release and rooted. I get persistent notifications that I should update to Android 12. How can I stop this annoying notification? I saw a suggestion to disable Google services so I tried that, but all that happened was that I got an even more persistent notification to enable Google services! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for this response.
hi everyone ,,,
I want to share my experience with this phone, the hardware is very good but the software is S***, waited for 1st update 3 months, and nothing fixed, second update 3 months and nothing is fixed, ( unexpected crashes, recent app windows lagging very badly, contacts don't show names in miss calls).
contacted support more than once, they don't have any understanding of any issue its like an auto message that tells you to wait for the next update and they don't have any schedule when the update will be released.
we are in Jan 2022 and my latest update is android 11 , October security patch.
I would not recommend this phone for anyone, don't make the mistake that I did.
I am selling this phone ASAP.
Thank you

I agree that this phone hardware is a beast ! The software unfortunately is really bad especially i came from iOS which everybody knows how good they are with their softwares and updates. I already know that these kinds of android phone maker won't have software support as good as S*msung, let alone Ap*le.
However to be honest i don't have all the problems mentioned in your posts other than occasional Nubia launcher crashing (so i switched to using Niagara Launcher). There are lots of third party modification on playstore which can run great thanks to this phone beastly hardware. So i guess i can live with it.
Have you tried installing Global ROM (any one other than the one came with the phone when you buy it)
They dropped new update for EU Rom, i hope NA & Asia ROM gets an update too asap.
Edit**
Nvm update v427 for NA and Asia is available. Gonna try install it.

Hello,

Yes, CUSTOMIZED EEA 62.1.A.0.533 (Android 12) was released ( https://xpericheck.com/XQ-BT52 ) 4 days ago, but according to the phone update check and Xperia Companion, no software update is available. Phone is using stock firmware, WiFi/4G is available and I have made several restarts. However when CUSTOMIZED EEA 62.0.A.9.11 (Android 11 update) was released month ago, I got it right away, at the same release day.
Based Reddit, a lot users are facing same problem. Some say that software repair using the Xperia Companion pushes update to phone. But I don't want to and I don't have time to reset my phone and set up everything, including every app settings from scratch.

After switching from 11 to 12 android, you need to make a mandatory reset to the factory with the removal of all data in order to avoid bugs.

it is folklore, no such need at all.
I have received the update (62.1.A.0.533) this morning.
Installation took around 45 minutes.
Haven't had any technical issues per se so far, but am still struggling with the look and feel of Android 12.
i have been using the phone for almost a week now after the new update (62.1.A.0.533), i haven't done any factory resets, here is what i noticed:
1. Battery is draining a lot faster than Android 11
2. UI is a bit bulky, especially the toggle buttons. Definitely preferred Android 11
3. Screen Mirroring is not working for me. WFD service keeps crashing (that's a major issue because i mirror all my videos)
4. I had previously mapped the power button (click twice) to GCAM. Now it's not working. Only works with the stock Camera
Overall, a negative experience. I would not recommend the update.
If anyone else is facing issues please let me know

Post some screenshots of Android 12 on your Xperia, please.
Do you have separate toggles for wifi and mobile internet?
@Elberens, the same question for you too )
Hi guys, please keep us informed on how Android 12 behaves on the Xperia 10 III.
Hope that the battery drain reported by Elberens is just an isolated case, did you realized what is causing the drain? The app Better Battery Stats can help in detecting the cause of an abnormal power consumption:
[APP][2.2+][11 Dec. 2022 - V3.1] BetterBatteryStats
I started BetterBatteryStats because I was missing the great battery history that Spare Parts allowed to call on Froyo. It has been a long journey since the first version. BetterBatteryStats provides an insight in following categories: - General...

I got the update notification yesterday and installed last night. So far I'm not having any technical or performance issues. All seems to be working. Still, I find the new UI a big step backwards in comparison to Android 11. Everything is so much bigger (menus, quick settings) using lots of dead space.
There aren't separate toggles for Wi-Fi and Mobile Data internet. You can't turn on or off with one tap. You have to open a submenu now...
The quick settings toggles are way bigger. You get only 4 in two lines when sliding down (or 8 if you slide with two fingers or twice). Which means that you will be needing an extra step for some actions.
I'm missing the functionality where on Android 11 I could use Google pay right away when holding the power button. Now there is a toggle in the quick settings instead (again extra step to use). Instead there is just a restart, shutdown and emergency menu if you hold the power button.
I don't get the new features of android 12 or it just doesn't seem to make a difference for my uses. The new bigger quick settings are annoying for me and if I had known before, I wouldn't have updated. If there was an easy way to roll back to 11 I would happily do it. But I guess I can't do that without flashing an older firmware on the phone. Maybe a future update would allow to make the quick menus a bit smaller?

I've read somewhere that after factory reset the separate toggles for wifi and mobile data internet would show up.
::edit::
Sony's Android 12 update has separate toggles for Wi-Fi and Data, but only if you factory reset
The Android 12 update for the Sony Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III ships with separate toggles for Wi-Fi and mobile data.
www.xda-developers.com
another way:
[....] if you want to get back a dedicated button to toggle your Wi-Fi, Mishaal Rahman shared a command on Twitter that you can execute via adb to get it back.
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles),wifi"
Right this morning I got the message of a System Update from Sony (I live in Italy).
I think I'll wait some days before update, would be like to read more feedbacks on how the device behaves under Android 12, in particular concerning the battery draining, I quite happy with my Xperia 10 III that overnight (9pm to 8am) drains just a ridiculous 3%.

1) Recheck again app -s permissions, disable or uninstall unwanted ones, disable location wifi/bluetooth scan and wait for few days until the battery is calibrated and user habits/trends are known for the operating system.
Also You may try enable system cached apps under developer options -
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/comments/r7tdta
2) It can't be changed, and you have to get used to it and hope that some update will fix/change it.
3) This is something new.
4) Have You tried XPERI+ for remap - https://github.com/ivaniskandar/shouko
You must agree this is a rather ingenious way of getting people to update their systems regularly. You're not told beforehand what the update changes, and only afterwards do you notice that the update was a downgrade in every single aspect. You want to swear that you'll never install a system update ever again, yet you know that you will have to do just that in the hopes that eventually some update will fix what the previous ones broke.
I must admit as much I agree that a proper changelog should be displayed before any update, I do like that android 12 update. Getting older (ok, I'm not that old) I'm pretty happy with the bigger/new layout

On the stock Android 11 you can make the UI big from Settings > Display > Display size. This is in addition to and separate from Settings > Display > Font size. So I still think the forced size in Android 12 was not necessary...
I updated my device on Saturday, everything went OK. I'm rather satisfied with the new UI, display size and font size can be adjusted as in Android 11, some aspects are nice, some others less, on the other hand it's impossible to create a UI that is good for everybody. There are a lot of launchers and ways to customize the appearance of a smartphone, so this is not a problem in my view. Apart from the graphical aspect, Android 12 brings new interesting features and I think this is more important.
I appreciate that Sony kept the media volume steps equal to 30, which is finer enough for listening music. At the moment, the power usage seems to be as before, my device drained only 3% overnight (9pm to 8am) as with android 11, and that's great.
The smartphone seems responsive and fluid, I didn't explored all the functionalities yet, but I would say that this update is OK.
Is it just me or do apps 'reload' more often after the update? I feel like caching of background apps is worse but I'm not sure.
Other than that and the combined internet toggle, this update is alright.
The overall app managing should be more optimized in Android 12, however you could try the above mentioned option in the Developer settings (suspend execution of cached app).
There are just a couple of commands to be sent via ADB the to restore separate wifi/mobile toggles, I'm waiting to see how is to deal with the combined internet one.

Noticed this too. For example, if I use "Simple Gallery Pro" from F-Droid to browse through some videos and I open a video with Kodi, then after I'm done watching the video and return to the Simple Gallery app, it will often reload, forcing me to navigate the folder structure once again.
I didn't have this issue with Android 11 - returning to the gallery app would bring me back to where I left when Kodi was launched. I'll try changing that setting mentioned above by @code010101 to see if it helps.
