I'm also experiencing this problem. I think a recent messenger update may have broken it. I'll let you know if I find a fix.

The problem is caused by a recent update of Messages breaking something. I solved the problem by reverting to an older version using the following steps:
1. Disable automatic updates in the play store on both your watch and your phone.
2. Uninstall Messages from both your watch and your phone.
3. Go to apkmirror.com and get Android Messages version 2.1.167. Pick the apk that is appropriate for your phone and install it, then open it up and make it your default SMS app.
4. Get Android Messages (wear) version 2.1.167.
5. Install it on your watch by enabling adb and using the command adb install [file path to apk file]
6. Before you start messages on your watch, go to settings -> apps and give it all of the permissions that it wants.
7. Everything should work now.

I tried exactly as you post it but in the end the command didn't saw the APK on the file. As saying that "there's no apk on file"
I did it, I was doing the commands all wrong xD
Now thanks to you I can send messages over the watch. Thank you very much for the very detailed explanation and resources.
I updated the app to the latest version and the issue seems to be fixed.
Hey Guys,
I am running the Mate 20 x EVR-AL00 and I was able to get the hivoice uninstalled and the google assistant to stay the persistent assistant app.
Still struggling on getting "Okay Google" to work without the assistant app already loaded. Currently, holding the home button will launch the app.
Here are steps based on the methods of @RedCriwx for removing the default launcher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/how-to-install-nova-mate-20x-reverting-t3863446
1) Download and extract ADB (I use platform tools:*http://mirrors.zzu.edu.cn/android/re....1-windows.zip)
2) Go to Settings > System > About Phone and tap on "build number" about 8 times. You should see a message saing: "You are a developer now"
3) Back to the previous menu and you should see now a new item called "Developer options", go there, find and enable "USB debugging" (you may have to use a Huawei ID).
4) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
5) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.
6) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
7) Run "adb shell"
8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"
At this point you should be able to set your default assist app and it shouldnt change back to hivoice.
One thing I am still having a problem with is enabling "Access with voice match"
https://imgur.com/jhUwTjH
Is anybody else able to enable this option that is running on EVR-AL00 ?

Looks like a lot work to get the same functions as the Google search widget. I just turned Hivoice off and put a widget on the screen but if this worked with only voice like saying "Hey Google" I'd be all over this.

Excellent step by step instructions. Thank you.
To remove Hi Voice this command was critical:
8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"
Can you point me to a reference with a list of commands (or syntax) to remove other features/programs that I'd like to uninstall?
Many thanks!

Thank you very much, I wanted to play around more tonight but didnt get a chance.
So what you can do to get a list of commands is once your in the adb shell just run the command "pm -h"
It will display the output of all the commands that can be used.
1) enable "USB debugging"
2) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
3) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.
4) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
5) Run "adb shell"
6 Run "pm -h"
Let me know if you find anything in regards to allowing the persistent "Okay Google" Command

Use it ta your own risk. You can cause too much damage though. Factory reset heals everything.
Ok Google will not he able to work on that AL00. As it's not installed as a system app.
The reason it works on the L29 is the Google app is installed to the system. Otherwise functionality will not be present.

I don't have 2 YouTube apps installed. After working some of the quirks out, I did a factory reset and set it up again. Now I only have vanced installed and I still have the issue on the L00 version. If there's a fix, please share. It's not a huge deal but just gets annoying I guess.

Dear Community,
Greetings,
I have been using the mate 20 x for a while now, and very happy with it, what is missing from the phone (and the mate 20 pro too) is the pocket mode in the settings of the dialer app. I had this option on my old Huawei P9.
When having the phone in my pocket, and a phone call starts ringing, the ringtone volume starts increasing, and this doesn't look good when I'm at work or in a meeting.
Is there any ADB command to bring the option to the settings (I used the ADB commands on P9 to show the Font Styles which was missing from the phone).
Regards,
Pocket mode gone
Hi I have the same problem,
latest with EMUI 9.0.0 the pocket mode setting cannot be found via dialer > three dot menu anymore.
Regardless of volume settings (except for vibrate only) the ring tone volume keeps increasing to embarrassing loudness levels when the phone is in my briefcase.
Is there any change to disable the pocket mode "feature" when you cannot access it anymore?
Regards,
MaeSiuS
Finally, a solution to missing pocket mode option
Hello,
I have finally solved it, I tried it and it works perfectly.
Here are the steps:
1- Install settings database editor by 4A from Google Play store
2- Allow developer options in your phone's settings
3- Allow USB debugging
4- Install platform tools ADB on your PC
5- Connect your phone to PC
6- Make sure your phone is recognized by ADB, type command: adb devices
7- if the ADB console list your device number, type the command:
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
8- On your phone, open the application Setedit
9- Go to the Secure Table from the top right menu
10- Find the line "Hide_Pocket_Mode", select the value, change it from 1 to 0.
11- Restart your phone, and you'll find the option in the dialer options, More settings.
Hope I helped, it took me time and some research, but it was worth it. lots of embarrassment caused by high ringtone in the office.

Most probably, yes.
download the setedit application, and make sure you have the secure table, and there is a line "hide_pocket_mode".

It is necessary since it will grant permission to the setedit app to modify the secure table, without ADB, setedit won't work.

Oh man, this is so great! I have a P8 Lite from work which has pocket mode visible, but I also just bought a P Smart 2019 which doesn't have it visible. Or should I say HAD, because thanks to Hash_Droid I now have Pocket mode visible and disabled. I can't begin to tell you how you made my day. Thanks a lot!

Thank's a lot for this. It works perfectly on P30 Pro :good: :highfive:
It's hard to understand and unlogic why manufacturers like Huawei hide options like Pocket mode in their software. Most users, even the simpliest, surely are interested to customize ring tone options.
Thank you very much Hash_droid, works on P20 pro. :highfive:
Hash_droid, works perfectly on a Mate 10 Pro (I had the same issue) . Thanks a lot.
Thanks, confirming also for Mate 9, EMUI 9.1, not rooted (BL locked).
Btw, I've also enabled virtual HD sound - not sure if the call quality is better
This works on Mate 20 pro. But, if your ADB doesnt recognise your phone, install Huaweis HiSuite. Only so ADB listed my phone.
However, person at Huawei who decided that removing option to disable pocket mode should ne fired. Also, who ever designed the diler app. Huawei, just copy Samsungs dialer, or at least use google phone app. My galaxy S6 had 10x better dialer then my Mate 20 pro now has. At least I have google phone now.

Thanks! This guide worked also for Huawei P40 Pro (emui 10.1.0.154) :good:
Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.
EDIT: I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" from Google Play Store and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone.
No more need to type adb commands below except at least few adb commands to grant the Secure Settings permission to the app. This is well explained by the application when you launch it the first time.
I let the adb commands below for information in case we had some "purists" who prefer adb than an immersive app.
1/ Enable the Developper mode
Go to Parameters/ About the phone
Click many times (at least 10) on the MIUI Version to activate the Developper mode
2/ Enable USB Debugging
Go to Parameters/... Others parameters/Developper options
Click on USB debugging
Click on Install via USB => You will have to connect to your MI account
Click on USB debugging (security parameters)
3/ Launch adb on your PC
Get adb.exe on the net (very easy)
Put it in a folder of your PC (for instance C:/adb)
Connect your smartphone to the PC
Launch a DOS command window
Go to the adb folder => cd /adb
To check if your smartphone is ready, type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's the first time, there will be a popup on your smartphone to authorize the adb commands
Then, normally your device will appear after typing "adb devices"
4/ Get the list of applications installed on your smartphone
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Retrieve the name of the application(s) you want to remove the notification bar.
5a/ For instance, hide the notification bar only for Chrome and Google Photos
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=com.android.chrome,com.google.android.apps.photos
Note: Each time you enter this command, you cancel the previous one. You need to type only one command with all the apps you want to remove the notification bar (names of app are separated by a comma ,).
5b/ For instance, if you want to hide the notification bar for all the applications

Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.
1/ Activate the Developper mode
Go to Parameters/ About the phone
Click many times (at least 10) on the MIUI Version to activate the Developper mode
2/ Activate USB Debugging
Go to Parameters/... Others parameters/Developper options
Click on USB debugging
Click on Install via USB => You will have to connect to your MI account
Click on USB debugging (security parameters)
3/ Launch adb on your PC
Get adb.exe on the net (very easy)
Put it in a folder of your PC (for instance C:/adb)
Connect your smartphone to the PC
Launch a DOS command window
Go to the adb folder => cd /adb
To check if your smartphone is ready, type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's the first time, there will be a popup on your smartphone to authorize the adb commands
Then, normally your device will appear after typing "adb devices"
4/ Get the list of applications installed on your smartphone
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Retrieve the name of the application(s) you want to remove the notification bar.
5a/ For instance, hide the notification bar only for Chrome and Google Photos
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=com.android.chrome,com.google.android.apps.photos
Note: Each time you enter this command, you cancel the previous one. You need to type only one command with all the apps you want to remove the notification bar (names of app are separated by a comma ,).
5b/ For instance, if you want to hide the notification bar for all the applications
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
6/ If you want to cancel this setting and put back the notification bar
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Enjoy your brillant full screen mainly when you are in dark mode.

Thanks for the instructions bro... I like the immersive mode on all the apps but i do not in instagram app, What is the command to get the immersive mode on all the apps but not in some specifics one?
The setting is reset on reboots. How can it be persisted?

Do you have root permissions? If the asnwer is "yes" you can do this:
Install terminal emulator from google play store. Open it and writte "su"
now writte this:
settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Tachan! you have immensive mode active. Only save the command in a note app. Always you reboot your phone the only thing you have to do is open terminal, su and paste your command.
A lot more easy and fast than do it with adb. the only "problem" is you need root.
If someone knows how to add an exception, please say so.
How do you show it on lock screen? Any ideas?

Enable USB debugging (security settings) under developer options.
I used SystemUI Tuner as it allows for blacklisting apps (sucha as whatsapp) that don´t manage full screen well.

Thank you! It worked, but as stated above, it reset after phone restart.
Maybe running a tasker command at boot might fix it ?
Edit: Use the Immersive Manager app (thank me later!)

Yes, it's true. Each time you reboot the phone, you should loose the setting.
And good point, thank you Ramsyst, I didn't check on Google Play Store the myriad of immersive mode applications!!
I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone. :good::good:
I had previously created a task with Tasker and AutoTools (paid version) to change the immersive mode with the "Custom Setting" feature. But knowing that there are many apps (free and paid version) doing that better than AutoTools, it's not usefull to describe how I did it.

With Tasker you already have an option to make all apps you want to go immersive! There is no need to use any other command or app.
I believe everybody in the world should buy tasker
Is the best Android app. It may looks hard in the begining, but your imagination is the limit to do whatever you want.
Hi how can i used this on split screen but in full screen mode with status bar and navigation?

You're right. I had never tested the split screen function. The notification bar is not hidden on split screen mode even when immersive mode is activated. The result is a bit weird as there is a mix of notification bar and app on the top of the screen.
"Google search" indicates that you are not the first one to face this issue... but apparently no solution has been found so far.
If somebody can help.
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

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.

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.

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
