I've got a PPC 6700Q through Qwest and even thought it's on Sprint's network and is basically a Sprint phone, I can't install the AKU2 update onto it.
Can anyone point me to a way to get stereo bloothooth on this thing? [A2DP?]
Bump for help, please. ANY help at all???
Any way to get A2DP on this phone???
check out this thread from pdaphonehome.com might help: http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71436
it does indicate the need for the update, but it may be worth a try anyway.
I just installed it a few minutes ago on a test phone, but have not tested as I don't have bt headphones yet.
hint: someone posted a cab in the above thread, it's several posts down on the first page.
-much luck

Hi Everyone,
My android phone details:
Xiaomi Redmi 1S
Custom ROM based on AICP
Android ver. 7.1.2
Possibly I'm on Guest Mode
My Concern
Few days back,
I realized that my Magisk not working
Then, gradually found out
Home button, Recent buttons stopped working
Notifications not popping up
Google Play store throwing user error for my Google Account
I suspect myself on Guest Mode
Settings->Users, not opening any user list
'Developer Options not available for this user' msg appears when I clicked on Settings->Developer Options
What Did I Do So Far:
My phone not booting into TWRP recovery mode when (Power Off+Volume Up) pressed all together as my phone always boots up into system(means to OS) & not into TWRP recovery.
I tried Nova Launcher using 'Activities' trick;
in Setup wizard, I was unable to find out
SetUpWizardTestActivity or SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity options which supposed to flash my phone
There's only one option called "Activating Mobile Service" which no use
What My Phone Can Do:
It can boot into Fastboot mode only by holding VolumeDown+PowerOff 2gether, then I can clearly see Xiaomi bunny logo appears along with Fastboot text appears.
What information Do I Need:
Since Developer Options not accessible on my phone, how can I connect my phone to pc & initiate ADB commands,
Is it possible? Bcz 'Usb debugging'can't be toggle over from Settings -> Developer Options
Can Anybody find out for custom ROM, how can Nova Launcher trick works i need file location for these files
SetUpWizardTestActivity, SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity SetUpWelcome something like this
I learned that on Samsung phones
These files can be easily mapped under SetupWizard
Try flashing MIUI via fastboot mode since you are able to boot into fastboot mode(yes I know USB debugging is off) still give it a try.
MIUI Fastboot ROMs are available on MIUI Forum.
If are able to use play store then try apps which allows to boot into recovery trough app.
There's an app "simple reboot for rooted users" by Fransisco Franco, this app works fine to boot into recovery mode.
Try and see if your device able to boot into recovery mode.
If play store not working then sideload apps from internet.
Or
Try flashing custom recovery again using twrp manager, flashify or other recovery flashing apps or just flash recovery via fastboot method and try booting into recovery mode.
Also make sure to other your choice ROM ready to flash in memory card or in pen drive (using otg cable.)
If I remember correctly nougat ROMs are quite heavy for Redmi 1S because whenever I used them I had lag and heat up when using mobile data.
Other than that they are good, I am currently using MIUI 9 on Redmi 1S since it's not my primary device.
Developer Options are not available for this user message appears when
I click on Settings->Developer Options
Device: Infinix Hot 5 lite
Android Version: 7.0
My main concern;
To recover deleted messages
What I have done so far;
Option 1.
I tried Nova Launcher using 'Activities' trick;
in Setup wizard, I was unable to find out
SetUpWizardTestActivity or SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity options which supposed to flash my phone
"I only have one "Setup Wizard" with one option under it a: ".activating cellular service". Selecting that doesn't seem to help"
Option 2.
Settings > About Phone > Build number > Tap it 7 times to become developer;
I have tried tapping 5, 7 or even 100 times and "you're now developer" message never shows up

I have the same problem
did yall ever come up with a solution for this?
OK guys your watch will still work with many Wear OS apps but apps won't sync up with your phone any more. The problem is that the version of Google Play Services on your watch is way out of date.
The solution is you need to sideload a newer version of google play services and then like magic all your apps that can still work with Wear OS 1.5 will work again.
You need to download and install adb fastboot on your PC, and the USB drivers for your particular model of phone. Then go to apkmirror and download the latest version of "Google Play Services (Wear OS)" as an APK.
Now put your Smartwatch into developer mode by going to settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable) and Bluetooth debugging (enable)
Back on your phone, Wear OS App --> Advanced Settings --> Debugging over bluetooth (enable)
Enable Developer options on your phone as well through settings --> About --> Software info --> Build number seven times. Enable USB debugging.
Plug phone into PC with usb and open a command prompt in the directory where you've installed the adb files
Code:
ADB devices
should show your phone unauthorized. Authorize it on the phone popup prompt. Now the command should show your phone as "device"
Code:
adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:6666
On your watch, authorize the connection
On your phone, Wear OS app, Advanced settings, you should see Host: connected and Target:connected
If you get into trouble, run
Code:
adb kill-server
and try again.
Now you can install the apk
Code:
adb -e install -r (path to apk)
it will take a long while and may appear to hang. Give it time, at least 15 minutes. Go do something else. Wait for the command prompt to come back.
Now reboot your watch and revel in the magic as your apps suddenly reappear.
You also try sideloading other apps your mileage may vary. On APK mirror you can sometimes find older verions of Wear OS apps, look for ones that require Android 6.0+ Instead of 7.1.+
FYI I've tried sideloading several apps, and while many don't work properly, I was able to get Maps working by sideloading
com.google.android.apps.maps_10.35.2-1035250000_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Hi,
Thanks for this =)
Is there a reason to push the app through the phone instead of directly to watch?
EDIT: just do the same but directly connect the watch through USB worked well for me, including installing more apps like GMaps and Messages.
EDIT2: Just did this, so people could find this workaround faster =) https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/55427445

Unfortunately, I don't use an account by Google. Would you mind quoting your solution here?
Hey first of all, thank you to bring me a light to follow,
I can confirm that if you use usb is more quickly, just I have:
1: installed "15 seconnds adb installer v1.4.3" found on this forum
2: Plug my smartwatch 3 on my pc (windows 10)
3: downloaded the most recent google play services (wear os) from apk mirror
4: rename the downloaded apk with a shorter name
5: placed the apk on C: and then open a power shell window in that location (****f+right click)
6: put this command adb install -r -g aplicationname.apk
7: wait 5 minutes
8: enjoy

Hi people,
I own a sony smartwatch 3, got some problems about sync multiple times. I always found simples workarounds but some days ago, Google dropped support for wear 1.5 devices.
I consider this as an official announcement:
https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/5538033?hl=en
Therefore, we have a "workaround" for those that need more time to buy another smartwatch or else.
Inspired from this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/smartwatch-3/fix-app-sync-smartwatch-3-dead-t4121409
# Download the latest GService for Wear OS
Using apkmirror website you can find the latest apk for "Google Play Services (Wear OS)",
This link will give you the page of GService v20.21.17 which is the latest available on 2020-06-25.
You must ensure 2 things:
- Is it the latest version
- Is it compatible with Android 6.0+ (as it's the wear android version, 7.0+ and above will not work)
You can also download other apks to install, see the "More" section at the bottom of this post.
Soon or later, Google will definitely drop android 6.0. When this will happen, the latest version will not be available anymore for android 6.0+, therefore it will be the end.
# Download/Install adb debugging tools on your computer
There are multiple ways to install the adb debugging tool, I recommend following the steps you'll find on XDA website: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
# Enable ADB Debugging options on your watch
Enable developer mode by going to
Settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable)
Then open and keep the command line window (aka "terminal")
# Connect your watch to your computer
Then using the terminal, type "adb devices", after a moment, you should get a prompt asking for debugging permission on your watch: accept.
In the terminal, you should now see something like "14452D11F536B52 device" when typing "adb devices" again.
If you see "unauthorized" or else, you're not ready for the next step, go back and try again.
If you struggle at this step, you may need specific drivers or else for your watch, google will be your best friend at this point.
# Send the app to your watch
In the terminal, type "adb install -r path_to_the_apk_file", replace path_to_the_apk_file by the path to the file you download from apkmirror earlier.
Then wait, the installation can take several minutes. Once it's done, restart your watch and you should see the apps beginning to synchronize themself =)
----
If you're new to the command-line tool (aka "terminal"), I'll assume you're a window user.
So you may need to type something like "adb install -r C:/Users/Robert/Downloads/file_downloaded.apk", again, you'll have to replace Robert by your windows username and file_downloaded.apk by the name of the file you downloaded earlier.
The best way to get this line right: open the file explorer, click "This computer" in the sidebar, then click on your main hard drive, then the folder "Users". Here you should see a folder with your username, click on it, then go through folders & files until you see the downloaded file. Once it's done, you should be able to get the full pathname by click in the explorer address bar (didn't understand ? See https://winaero.com/blog/show-full-path-address-bar-windows-10-file-explorer/ ) then at this point you should know how to execute the last command by reading again the last step "Send the app to your watch"
----
# More
You can follow this step and install any apk you want, but I don't recommend installing apk not made for Wear OS even if it works
More apps installable this way on your watch if you don't want to wait for app sync:
- Google Messages (SMS), latest is v6.1.095 on 2020-06-25
- Google Maps, latest is v10.35.2 (android 6.0+) on 2020-06-25
The GMaps is a good example about obsolete versions: on 2020-06-25, the real latest available is v10.43.2, but it's android 7.0+ only, so don't expect GMaps to work indefinitely for your watch, it will stop working soon or later.

Please, if you can click upvote or post an answer: it will help people with the same problem find this
Thanks for posting a simplified process.
I only used Bluetooth because I have other Wear OS watches that don't work over cable connect, so it's the way I am familiar with. I like to use different watches depending upon activity and mood. The Smartwatch 3 is a great watch for outdoor activities because it is sleek, waterproof, and very sunlight visible.

You saved my watch!
Hi. In the link to install the adb debugging tool, I can only get as far step 6 connecting my phone. When i type 'adb devices' in the command prompt it says -
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
Nothing appear on my phone as per the step 7 "On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access"
Can anyone help?
@MrFleas
1) go again on EVERY.SINGLE.STEP this may feel dumb to do but it could help
2) if it does not work, try googling for swr50 USB drivers, you may need to download Android SDK and drivers - then reboot - then start again at step one
3) come back here to thanks or asking for more help

Hi people, just realized we can also download the sony app to our phones (directly from phone or by using adb like on watch) so we can edit stock watch faces again =)
Here's the app to download to the phone: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...ditor-2-0-0-20-android-apk-download/download/
Once installed, to edit watch faces, go to wear app, the edit watch faces =)
Seems like the same issue...
My hardly used smart watch is ALIVE again!
Thanks a lot guys!
I have latest but sync not working :/ i have a question is possibile install app with higher api or change apk API level ?
check the play service on your phone and install exactly the same version of the wear app
then it works
Cheers for doing this! Got my old smartwatch working cause of that. If anyone else reading this has issues at the' ADB device' point, and is using a linux based system, remember to use sudo on the commands -as otherwise i found that it would not enable the prompt to let me 'authorise' the device in order to send the apk to the watch.
Question- given that google have disabled the onboard step counter function on wear 1.5 devices (like this one), can we sideload a fitness apk via adb with this method that will then sync to our phones?

Hi, I've got the same issue. I had to change my phone. I've installed the same version of google play services on the watch with the description in this threat. But the phone is still not syncing the apps to the watch. Is there anything more I can do to trigger the sync (already triggered 'resync all app in Wear OS' without effect).
You might try to go Settings-Permissions on the watch and set the Permissions for your app. Sometimes I have got this to make the app work, when it is already installed on the watch but not working.
It works! I first downloaded this version of Wear OS for my phone:
Wear 2.43, the newest one somehow broke the sync for me.
By using ADB with " ADB install -r "I installed the last working Google Play Services for my Watch and also the last available version of Google Fit for Android 6.
Play Services : Play Services Wear OS - 20.45.16
Google fit : Google Fit - 2.10.36
