Wasn't in the Verizon version I purchased yesterday either, but once I downloaded it the ability to get updates in Blinkfeed was there. Not sure whether that ability existed before I downloaded/installed it because I hadn't tried.

Fitbit question?

It wasn't in my Verizon M8, either. Question for you...after downloading it, the app works great, the widget updates "live". However, while I see the Fitbit under Blinkfeed's Services and Apps, after checking the box, I get no Fitbit stats in Blinkfeed.
I manually pull down to refresh and there is NO CONTENT.
Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

If you tap on any of the "squares" in the Blinkfeed for Fitbit it will take you directly to the application for your stats. I know that's not actually showing the stats in Blinkfeed, though.

Therein lies the problem. Even though I only have Calendar and Fitbit checked, the only things that show up under both the "Highlights" Blinkfeed and the "Fitbit" Blinkfeed are calendar events.
Ergo, there is nothing to even click on to get over to the Fitbit application...only square(s) for calendar events (which, when clicked, take me to the Calendar app as it's supposed to do)

Evernote on Moto360

Is there any way to use Evernote instead of Google Keep as the default note taking app? I know some of you will hate on Evernote but I've been using it since before Google Keep came out and have all my devices synched to it so its just easier to keep using it.
I've read somewhere that you just launch Evernote from the watch launcher and say to use that as default or something but I have no idea how to launch an app from the watch directly (its not in my Wear Mini Launcher drawer).
Just got my watch today so still learning how to use it

Open Android Wear app. Scroll down to Take a Note and tap it once. Choose which app to use, Evernote or Keep.

Thank you, this is something I've already tried but I do not get Evernote as an option. Im using Nexus 4 running KitKat.
EDIT: I was being an idiot, I didn't know there was a separate Evernote for Android Wear app that I had to install. Did that and all working now. Cheers!

[Q] ASUS ZenWatch Manager

My friend presented me Asus Zenwatch, which i really like. But problem is now ASUS ZenWatch Manager is not available in my country, also tried different methods to download apk from Google Play but withour success. How can I get this app. Without it no use of my new watch

You can still use the watch without the ZenWatch manager... Honestly, you're not missing much. All you need to use the watch is the Android wear app to connect it to your phone. You can probably side load the ZenWatch manager though, but I don't have the apk the pm you. Maybe someone online will post it somewhere. Either way, the watch isn't useless without it. I have most of the features in the ZenWatch manager turned off anyway because they are battery hogs.

I agree. You don't really need it as long as you have access to android wear app.
I use zenmanager for customization of watch faces. But the watch is pre-loaded with faces. The manager just allow you to add different features ie, weather, steps etc.
But there are a lot of other watchfaces programs on google play.
The other feature I use was to cover my watch to avoid interruption if I am busy. But I think there are 3rd party programs that does the same.
I do use wellness manager to check my heart rate which works great.
I think you can do well with all just 3rd party programs.

Hi mate:
do you still need this apps? one friend on this blog send them to me (Asus Zenwatch Manager and Wellness app), if you are still lokinf for them tell me and I will send it to you

Too bad I still can't change the backgrounds on the watch with my Note 4. I've even tried apps like Facer etc. and everything fails/crashes/or resets whenever I try to use a custom background. It's mildly infuriating.

Same issue - Zenwatch Manager App - not available in my location
I know I'm not missing out on much, but I'd like to use the app anyway. Anyone still having this same issue? Is there a place other than mediafire to get the .apk?

I just bought/received my ZenWatch 2 today (2016 Feb 03), loaded the ZenWatch manager and Android Wear software. However the Manager app was saying "disconnected" and showing dashes for battery level/storage space. I also could not configure any faces and have it send it to the phone. So, I uninstalled it and installed the version shown here by "CSX321" which worked because it showed "connected" and the battery level and storage but appears to have less features. I wanted the latest version to work so badly I upgraded it after this version and it worked! Yay!
So perhaps install the version by "CSX321" first and then do the upgrade to get Zen Manager working correctly.
I have a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus rom running on it.

It does, just trying to think of something. Does it let you pick a weather source? I'm using Weather Watchface, and I get a lot better results from picking Yahoo Weather vs. Open Weather Map in the app's settings.
Edit...Actually, the watchface app on the phone, possibly, is what's responsible for getting the data, so maybe it doesn't have location permission?

I'm not sure. That seems drastic, but I can't think of anything else. Which watchface are you using?

right now explorer but the weather does not show up on any of them. I have tried several. Im going to download a weather watchface from the store and see if that changes anything.

Okay, I just tried Explorer, and it initially didn't show the temperature (showed -/-), but after a minute or so, it started showing it.
This is cliché, but have you tried restarting the watch? Seems worth a shot.

Reinstall did the trick.

Super!

[Q] Can't put apps on my Sony Smartwatch 3?

Afternoon all,
I'm hoping someone can help me before I smash my watch into a million pieces ...... I've had the watch now for about 3 days and still have found no way to put apps on it. If I try and open maps or Whattsapp it opens them on the phone. I have little icons in the start menu for music, find my phone, Fit and Google keep but nothing else.
I've seen a few YouTube videos where program icons can be accessed by swiping the screen left or right but mine doesn't do that. In the instructions I got it said compatible for apps for Android Wear would automatically appear on my watch..... this hasn't happened either??
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You are correct the apps will automatically show up on the watch if you have them on your phone. Try downloading "Wear mini launcher" for quicker way of opening apps. That's probably what you saw on the video. Android Wear 5.1.1 will have a better start menu and will probably hit the Sony watch in the next week or two.
Is your watch connected to the phone? I'm guessing it is but if you're not seeing wear apps that should be there maybe go into the Android wear app settings and click "resync apps".
Also you should be able to open apps by getting to the OK Google screen and going all the way to the bottom and click "start...".
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply, I can see everything now apart from a icon for Whattsapp, any ideas?

It probably only displays notifications and isn't actually a standalone app. I don't use it myself so can't say definitely. There's no standalone hangouts app either but you can still send texts through it.

Thanks, your reply makes sense.

The Android Wear can't run any stand alone aps yet, however it might change in the future.I'm personally waiting for Google to make copying music like the smartwatch was a flash drive available

You can use adb to install standalone Android apps. Android Wear is still Android at its core. A lot have issues due to screen size and UI differences but you'd be surprised what apps will work. Got a few emulators running. You can push any file you want to the smartwatch using the adb command adb push filename /sdcard/.
You may have to be rooted but it's incredibly easy to root the watch. Can get a lot of cool apps running by playing with the DPI and such. Although some apps (games especially) will kill the battery rather quick as it's not meant for that stuff.
