Using Facer and Watchmaker with Smartwatch 3 - Sony Smartwatch 3

Have been trying forever to get the Facer and Watchmaker apps working with my Smartwatch 3 watch. My Android Wear app is connected to the watch and works fine but I cannot get the other 2 apps to work. Have repaired the watch several times with my Note 5 with no luck. It will show its sending the watch face to the watch but it never makes it there. WatchMaker will eventually come up and say it can't connect to the watch even when Android Wear says it is connected. Try to do the Remote install option and it just says to look at the watch but nothing happens. I know we don't have Android Wear 2.0 so I can see why that option isn't working. I've tried everything I can think of to make these apps work. Is there something I'm missing?

I have found Facer to be inconsistent with pushing watchfaces over to either of the phones I've paired it with (S7 Edge and S5). Firstly I would sync apps in the android wear app. One sure way I have found to make sure Facer detects the watch and vice versa is to tap and hold the watch screen and make sure the Facer option is present and then push the Facer face through on the phone while you are on the face choosing menu. I know this answer is a bit airy fairy, but it works with me and I am unsure why, being merely a user with little idea about how Facer is progrmamed. Perhaps it opens the Facer app on the watch when you choose faces?

Me too! I did all of that. I just got new a new replacement note 4 and it was working fine on my previous note 4 but this will not sync any faces or no moto app.
ok I was able to get it working. I factory reset the watch and via android wear I added new wearable device and clicked on sync all app.

Reset my phone three times and no love. I can update the original stock faces but thennew faces never show up
Same thing happened to me today. I've reset my phone 3 times and resync'd many times without any luck. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Finally, I was able to fix it. My case was as follows:
I had paranoid android installed (new faces were fine). Had to restore factory settings on my phone, phone didn't want to sync after I reset my phone so I restored factory settings on my phone. I lost the new faces. Tried resetting the phone and watch multiple times and it didn't work. I went back to stock 5.0 (LRX21O) by following this guide . After restoring my phone to stock, I reset the watch one last time. Paired the phone and watch, customized one of the new faces chose minimal face on watch (still no new faces on my phone), then customized the same new face again, when trying to select another face it only showed one (simple). I chose that one, then tried to change to a new face and viola! new faces appeared.
Not sure what of everything I did was the fixing factor but wanted to share. Hope this helps.
Faced same problem. But i managed to update my 360. Try to uninstall all 3rd party app on ur phone, uninstall motoconnect and android wear. Last step is factory reset ur moto360
Then install motoconnect, install android wear ( do not install any 3rd party app at this stage), go to android wear setting and resync available app. Just make sure your phone screen is on about 10 minutes or so, moto360 will reboot after that.
All new faces and moto body apps will show up eventually - i tried this 3 times.
Hope this may help
Motorola 360 new watch faces not showing up on watch
I had the same problem, new watch faces would show in connect app (particularly the My Design one) and I could customize them but the new ones would never show up as an available watch face option on the 360. It may be related to replacing your phone as the new watch faces worked fine with my Old Note 4 then I had to replace it (because it had a problem) so when I got my replacement Note 4 and reconnected my watch it would never give me the option for the new watch faces even after I "reset" the Moto 360 numerous times. Interestingly for some people the new watch face options don't even show up in their Motorola Connect App on their phone, I think it may be related to their phone OS version. I have a coworker with a Note 3 and the new watch faces are not a option even though his motorola connect app is up to date.
Here is what I did to fix my 360:
- uninstall all apps on your phone related to your watch (Motorola Connect, Android Wear, 3rd party, etc.)
- Reset your 360 back to factory. (not just a restart)
- Wait for watch to prompt to install Wear on phone.
- install wear on phone, it will remember your old watch, pick the menu option to forget that watch though so it acts like this is the first time you are setting up a watch.
- Go through the watch pair and setup routine with the wear app till you get to the main wear screen that shows the watch connected and what your voice actions are.
- Go through the training setup on your watch (swipe, swipe....) till it's to it's Normal screen with your notifications.
- Install Motorola Connect app on your phone, go through the setup and wait till it says "connected" to your watch
- Set your phone and your 360 down and don't touch either for 15 minutes (no new apps, settings, etc)
- Your new watch faces should now be on your 360.
- re install the rest of your wear junk.
Those who have problems syncing , keep the watch on charging and charge your phone as well . do not reset anything. Just resync all apps option in android wear app. They will show up automatically after few mins

After this latest Moto Connect update I'm still waiting to see the new faces in the Android Wear app. I got the update almost 24 hours ago and nothing. I have tried re-syncing, resetting the watch, all that stuff. What is funny is I can go download a new random watch face and within a few minutes it shows up. But the new Connect app doesn't seem to be working. However if I am in the Connect app and "customize" a face and hit "Apply" it makes the watch vibrate. I also cannot change the color of the charging dock face... Crazy, not sure what the issue is.

Have you tried clearing app data for the connect app on the phone, then uninstall it. Reboot both the phone and watch. Then once the phone and watch are connected again, download the connect app.

Yeah. Apparently, and I should have guessed this, it is an issue with my running the 6.0 preview 3 on my nexus 6. So yeah, sucks but M is worth not having a couple new watch faces and a different color charging face.

I thought it was M p3 too, i even removed all my wear apps and reseted the watch XD
Motorola told me to "unoptimize" the wear abb (from the battery options).
I asked if it could not be an incompatibility with M, but they did no know.
EDIT: motorla lvl2 suppoty called, they say that the newer API level in android 6.0 makes it incompatible with moto connect update

They DO know that 6.0 is about to be released right? Ugh. Guess I'll stop trying to get this to work on my Nexus 6.

if you are on 6.0, then you have to wait for an update from motorola.

ok, Thanks cocchiararo, just have to wait
I don't have the option to change the charging colors. Swiping down on the watch face does nothing, and there isn't an option for it in Motorola Connect. I'm running the latest Moto 360 software on the watch, and my phone is running OS 5.1.

[Q] Recovering Watch Faces after Watch reset

I have had to reset my Moto 360 and repair it with my Samsung Galaxy S6. When I go into the Android Wear app, I am noticing several of my watch faces are missing. Some of them do eventually reappear. I know the watch faces are still on my phone because when I try to reinstall them, they show already installed. Is there a way to get the Android Wear application to refresh the watch faces that are on the phone? This seems like a stupid bug since it seems the watch needs to be reset every so often and I always seem to have this problem. I can't believe I have to remove and reinstall all the faces especially since I do not remember all the ones I bought without going through a long history of my app purchases.
I've had this happen a few times and this time I was digging around in the settings of the Android Wear app.
Tap the cog in the top right corner>Select your watch name>Tap Resync Apps.
See if that works for you. My watch synced everything except the faces and that fixed it for me.
Not working for me with Quick pic. Nexus 6.
Same message as photos stopped.
Give it time after a reset or new/replacement watch. If it's on your phone it will eventually appear on the watch. Last time I reset it, it took approximately 2 hours to get back to normal.

Moto 360 & ios & Aerlink and many questions

I have an android tablet, and an iphone. And for a few days a moto 360.
In order to use custom faces, i have first synced the watch with tablet, installed faces, then turned off bluetooh on tablet. So here comes the strange part. By the way i have read the suggestion from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3199656
Then i had to install this strange Aerlink on iphone. Very strange tool. Has just two buttons/options: start camera( which we %99 do not need), and "selected lists", which anyhow has 2 items: amazon, reminder. No idea what it is for.. Most strange app i have ever seen, and unbelievably costs 2€. Anyway.. but it anyway synced the watch a bit with the phone.
After this story here are my questions:
1- is there any other more reliable/convenient Aerlink alternative out there? i get notifications on watch, but other apps like maps, contacts etc. Do not work. Why? Is this normal behaviour by coupling this watch with ios? Also sometimes i do not get any notifications and i have to go to aerlink on watch and turn off the ios service off and on again. Although i did not restart the phone or watch. So it is really frustrating. Unreliable.
2- When i want to use some other faces, i have to enable bluetooth of my android tablet and send some files. After that i turn bluetooth off again and then try to reconnect to iphone. This is very frustrating. I turn the ios service in the aerlink of watch off and on.. i try to enable bluetooth connection of watch to aerlink from the watch settings, i close the aerlink app and open again on ios.. after 5min try somehow it works again.. sometimes it just keeps the iphone connection at the same time and i dont have to do anything. does someone know a clean way of doing this?
3-when i get notification, icons of some apps are not displayed on the watch. How can i fix this? When i get notifications from tablet though, even some pictures will be seen on the background. Can i have the same display with iphone?
4- how can i disable this cloud icon on my watch (wlan icon i think)? Since my tablet is also on the same wlan/network, when i enable wlan on watch, the icon disappers since a valid connection is set, but i start to get all notifications of the tablet, so i want to keep it disabled. But this cloud icon is on my screen always.
5- is there any way of using custom faces on my watch, by syncing the iphone with the default/clean/reliable app android wear?
I appreciate for your help in advance.

Save an Intellicom watch face directly on the watch?

I've stumbled upon a dilemma.
I recently installed a new rom on my Xperia Z3. This unpaired the phone and the watch. On the watch i have a heavily customized Intellicom watch face that i spent many hours creating.
The problem is that i never backed up or uploaded this watch face. So, if i now factory reset my watch in order to pair it with my phone, i'm going to lose the watch face on my watch as the Intellicom app will sync a default watch face to it.
So my question is this: is anyone aware of a way that i can backup the watch face on the watch itself, so i can load it into the Intellicom app and resync it to my watch after i've paired it with my phone again?
Do you have es file Explorer installed? I would use that to back up the face. I do not know where it saves them, but I bet you could find it with some poking around.

Watchmaker problems

I've had an Android smartwatch for over 3 years (Huawei Watch 1) and have been using Watchmaker for all that time with no problems.
My new Galaxy Watch arrived yesterday and I'm over the moon. However, I've loaded the companion App for the Galaxy Watch and connected to my phone with no problems.
What is a problem is that the majority of my watchface will not load onto the watch, both the phone and watch screens 'stick' on the loading process. Neither the phone or watch is locked up, I can easily use other apps.
The strange thing is that I have managed to load 3 'simple' watch faces (no script, no tap actions, etc.) but most of my existing faces won't load.
A recent face I made (can't load it to Galaxy Watch) can be found on MeWe 'watchface download free' group
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
PS I've unloded\reloaded Watchmaker both on my phone and on the watch, still no better
