Good day all,
I previously had a S3 Frontier, with a number of custom faces, duh
I got my Gear Watch last week, and did a restore from the Frontier backup ... however, it also wiped all the stock faces that were on the Gear Watch. Is there any way to restore/download from somewhere, without having to do a factory reset?
Thanks
Did you find any solution for this?
I guess a factory reset is the only way, maybe...

Does anyone know where the android wear apps live on the phone?
I have apps that i have deleted from gs5 that are still somehow syncing to my moto360. I've reset the 360, and they go away for a bit, but then they come back.
If i reset my watch and connect to my nexus 5, they don't come back. This is preventing me from getting the new watch faces from moto connect, and from removing apps i no longer want. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both moto connect and the android wear app in all permutations. I'm at a loss now for what to do.
I don't want to reset my gs5 (since it's my work phone and a pain to set up).
Thanks for any help!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Why they don't make this information more publicly available baffles me.
You've just saved me from restoring my phone!

Glad it worked out! Another handy tip, if your watch ever *locks up* press the button and hold it down for 30 seconds. Hopefully they will get the different apps playing nice with each other soon. :fingers-crossed:
Thankfully i've never had the lock up. The old apps thing was driving me mad. I had a wear app called beelink installed that i later removed. I had tried everything to remove it, but it just wouldn't go away! I even through the watch into dev mode, adb shelled in, uninstalled it manually, and searched everywhere i could to find how it kept coming back. With the steps in the link, the one that finally worked was the clearing all data for google play services.
I change ROMs on my LG G2....let's just say frequently. Ever since getting the 360 it seems like every time I switch to try something else I have to reset the watch. Is there any way to use something like TiBu with android wear and resync the watch once the new ROM has been flashed? I hate loosing all of my step data and going back through the initial Moto analysis every time.

Try backing up google play services and see what happens.
I wiped the data on it last night in a attempt to fix my Netflix on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it completely cleared android wear forcing me to reset the watch
I tried using TiBu to backup bluetooth paired devices, it kept the pair but Android Wear app didn't like it and I had to reset my watch.
I found a copy of BeeSomething, that was pulled from the playstore. It allowed you to pair to multiple DIFFERENT devices....and by different, it had to be completely unique. Swapping roms didn't count (I did not go so far as to change mac address on my phone...was not feeling that determined to make it work).
So for now, I stay on cm12, use MultiBoot to install a different rom, and disregard my moto360...and in that, I have only lasted about 5 minutes after setting up a new rom, I keep going back to cm12.
But dirty flashing does not affect the watch data Which made me very happy.
UPDATE: It just started working correctly about a half hour after doing all this. If you will tell me how to delete this thread, I will, I cannot find a delete button anywhere.
Hello everyone,
I have scoured the internet and this forum but have not seen anyone else with a similar problem. I like to think I'm pretty tech savvy, but I could just not be using the damn thing correctly. I just purchased a Moto 360, and I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. All my OS are up to date. I have Motorola Connect and the Android Wear app installed. I still cannot get 3rd party apps to appear on my watch. I contacted Motorola and they suggested clearing my system cache (which I didn't think would help but did anyway).
I found a thread on here about the new watch faces not appearing, so I followed the instructions there to completely reset my watch and phone so that everything was back to default. I've reset the watch back to factory, I removed all Android Wear apps from my phone, I even removed AdBlock Plus and everything related to the Samsung Fit that I had just in case they were causing problems. I then reinstalled the Motorola Connect and Android Wear apps, and had the Android Wear look for the watch as a new device.
I still cannot get any apps to appear on the watch, and I bought this specifically so I could use Viper's new SmartsStart 4.0 app when they release it.
Am I just doing something wrong, is it defective, or is there something else?
Thanks in advance.

Don't delete! I just got a Moto360 and have the same problem. Thank you for putting the UPDATE, I'll wait awhile and see if the 3rd apps I downloaded transfer to the watch. I've already tried to sync it and I've tried restarting the watch.
Is there a way to connect Huawei watch 1st Gen to a pixel 2 xl using the wear os app cause so far I haven't had any luck
What is the problem you had?
You must first do factory reset on your watch and then try.
On my new Pixel 2 which replaced 5X, I had the same issue. Per Google you need to reset your watch (and lose all apps you loaded) in order to sync it with a new phone. After reset of watch, the wear app found the watch and all is good.

Listen to Pkt_Lnt, he's the man and knows his stuff! I've used that method on my last two or three phones
Good morning all
Is there anyone in the community who uses the Locus Map add-on on their Samsung watch?
I installed it on my Galaxy Watch, but I have a issue, the add-on can't connect with the Locus app on my S10e....
I already tried to clear cache & data from "Samsung accessories service" app as suggested by the Locus support, but it doesn't solve my problem...
Any advice is welcome...
Cheers
There are two add-ons. One is for the free Locus, second is for the paid one. Do you have the correct version?
Yes, i have the pro version (i bought the one for the smartphone)
It may sound stupid, but have you tried to restart your Watch? I had a similar problem. Locus on my GW was disconnecting after a few minutes. A restart solved it for me.
Yes, i have restarted both device, watch and phone.... and to be sure, I made a factory reset on the watch, uninstalled locus from the phone (after cleared cache & data) and made a fresh install of locus Pro on both devices.... but the issue was not solved...
Edit:
I wrote to the Locus team and they answered that we are two having this issue and that they don't have gear developer recently.... maybe they will remove the gear add-on from the Galaxy Store
Thanks for the update! That's bad news. Locus add-on hasn't been updated for ages... According to your signature, you have a device with Android 10. I'm on Pie, where is pairing working fine - at least for me. Do you have a second device with Pie? Sorry I couldn't help.
thanks for trying!
My other device is a Huawei P30 pro but he's also running under Android Q.
I have an old one, a galaxy S7 under Oreo (if I remember well), but I don't want use it, I have it in my son...
And a galaxy watch can only be pairing with one device.... it means that every time I want use locus on my watch, I should factory reset my watch ...
That's can't be a a long-term solution....
Anyway, thanks again for trying
Hi!
Today, I received an OTA update of the Galaxy Wearable application and it seems that Locus work again on the galaxy watch.
I'll test it soon and give you feedback about....
Edit:
I did two mountain bike trips of 30 and 25km and it worked wonderfully
So, I'll continue to use it ans let you know if something is wrong....
