for two days I finally got my bluetooth-activesync to work, which just wouldn't want to work in the past. remove the bluetooth dongle, search google for a howto about how to make old devices visible inside the windows device manager, remove everything bluetooth related, com ports, the devices and the network related stuff. then reinstall the bluetooth dongle, let windows install all the driver . when this is finished you can follow the procedure described in the activesync helpfile about how to create an outgoing com port etc.
you should be just fine, as I said I could never make it work until I cleared out all the junk that windows likes to collect and carefully hides from you ;-) thats windows folks.
hope this will work for you,too.
thanks for the message, but i cant find the article on google..im using a built in bluetooth btw.....can u PM me with the directions ? really appreciate it if u can help...

Thank you. It works on my TD2.
I was looking for a way to do quick GPS when I am on a trip in a hotel room with cabled internet connection only.
Hey,
Me and friend of mine, we both have Galaxy S. All I want to do is copy some bigger file (few GBs) relatively fast, that means I would like to use Wifi.
Is there any software which would allow me to directly connect (no router or hotspot available) to friend's android and copy the file?
I tried searching google, but nothing so far.
Thanks.
i do not think that there is a way to do that.
Sry
Without Wi-Fi you have to use Bluetooth, but that will be painfully slow

You COULD try using a cloud system like dropbox and both install it with a same dropbox account...you upload it to dropbox he sees it and download it...its the only way i see
here are my ¢2 cents hope it works

You can try using apps like Wifi file transfer. Set it up on one device and connect using the browser from the other...
Works with pc, but the free app has a file dimension limit...

Without wifi you are limited to 3G or bluetooth and both are slow. Quicker to let them use your sd card direct by putting it in their phone.

It's theoretically possible. You'd have to make one phone act as an access point. This would be like wifi tethering, but instead of forwarding everything to the cell net, you would need to run an FTP server or networked filesystem on the server phone, have the service be made accessible by the network on the server phone, and connect to it with the client phone.
Let us assume phone A wants the file which is on Phone B.
Do the following.
On Phone B
1. set wifi hotspot On.
2. Install Samba File sharing from market.
3. Run samba file sharing (u need to be root)
4. Set sharing name ,login username and password.
5. Enable faling sharing
On Phone B
1. Connect to wifi hotspot created on Phone B
2. Install Estrong File manager from market.
3. Open Estrong file manager.
4. Setup Lan ---->add server--->put the ip shown in samba file sharing on Phone B
5. Set login username and password same as setted on Phone B samba file sharing app.
6. Now browse all file of Phone B from Phone A

This is very clever solution, very cool.
I have been looking how to do this for a day now with no luck. All the other applications seem to be for early Android wear versions less than 2.0 or Android 5.1.1 or less.
Option 1 (Faster)
1: Install ADB on your computer. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2: Enable Developer Options on your wear watch. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/guide-how-to-connect-adb-wifi-t3368602
3: Make sure bluetooth is off, wifi on and connected to same network as laptop.
4: Turn on debug over wifi option in developer options and wait for it to show your IP.
5: On windows, make sure platform tools are on the main drive. Ex (C
6: Copy your APK files into the same folder.
7: Inside the folder, press shift and right click. Then press "open with CMD here or powershell"
8:Type .\adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555 (use your own IP, not the ex)
9: Once connected type .\adb install facebook.apk (type in your own APK name, not the ex)
10: Wait for success, and app should be on watch
FYI some computers do not need the .\adb, just type adb
Option 2 (Slower)
* Prerequisites:
1: Computer
2: Cord to connect your phone.
Tested and works with Lineage OS Android Nougat 7.1 and Android wear 2.7 on Verizon Wear24 watch

Follow the steps listed in the Start.bat, do not run as Admin.
The APK must be loaded into the main folder, not the app folder.
Currently installed Facebook Lite, tested and works.
Opera Mini opens but force closes after a few seconds.
You may need to open the start.bat twice if it doesnt load the localhost (watch) the first time.
Just a heads up the installation transfers APKS at 51 KB/s, slow! Takes about 2 minutes for a 5mb apk.
Can this be done without the need for an Android Phone? I use an odd couple (iPhone 7 Plus with a Ticwatch E). I have access to Android via a tablet only...

Another method
Hey first of all I want to say thanks for your tutorial.
I found another method for sideloading your apps to your Wear OS watch.
It's my preferred method because you need no PC.
There is this apps called Apps2Fire it's made for sideloading apps to an Amazon fire TV, but if you enter the IP address of your watch and enable ADB over Wi-Fi you can sideload all apps installed on your phone or any .apk stored at your phone directly to your watch.
For me, this is the easiest way for sideloading, and it would be cool if you can add it to your tutorial.
Tutorial:
1. Install Apps2Fire on your Phone
2. Open the app and go to Setup,
3. Enter the IP of your watch/ or tap on network and let it search for your watch
4. Tap in the upper right corner on the Upload Symbol and chose your .apk and tap on it and then on install.
5. Enjoy
How can I extract an application installed on the watch?

Looks like you're trying to load an app with the wrong CPU architecture! Try to download a different arch cpu type of that app.

I've followed everything but when i do /adb devices it doesn't show anything and when i do /adb connect with the wifi ip address... it says unable to connect to the ip address i wrote
Thanks heaps. The first method worked for me on TicWatch Pro 3 Woohooo...

no one has explained it properly on XDA it kind of sucks for newbies tbh
Step1: go to settings - system - about - tap build # 7 times
Step2: go to settings - developer settings - adb debug -adb wifi debug on
step3: download apk on computer
step4: go to the folder with the APK in it "Shift + right click" open powershell
step5: go to the wifi on your watch click on it - get the ip address (should be 192.168.x.xx)
Step6: powershell type: "adb connect 192.168.x.xx:5555" (your watch ip address + the port 5555)
step7: powershell type: "adb -e install appname.apk" (type in the app name where i wrote the app name)
Example:
C:\Users\Bob\Downloads> adb -e install Spotify.apk
Has anyone been able to get a gcam port working on their WearOS device?
Requirements:
- Amazfit watch, any model, any ROM (don't need to unlock anything and it will NOT void your watch's warranty, these are simple APKs);
- PaceOne and FileManager+ by AlphaInventor on watch, any FTP client on phone or computer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This works with both phone and computer, you don't need USB cable and it works both ways: you can send files to watch and retrieve files too. Don't forget to disable WiFi on watch after you are done to prevent extreme battery drain if it remains on!
----- Procedure
1. Install PaceOn and Filemanager+ by AlphaInventor on watch;
2. Configure PaceOn to turn on WiFi and start its service so screen won't go off (you can use the dim option to use less battery) and the WiFi remains on;
3. Go to FileManager and start Access from Computer (lower right option), WiFi should be on already, tap on Start Service and note the number above (IP_numberort_number);
4. On your phone or computer, use a FTP client (the same app works for Android phones, pick your favorite on iOS) to create a new Remote Access using FTP, and connect using the previous info: IP_numberort_bumber, you can set *any* name as login and password.
Now you can send and receive files wirelessly to the watch using your phone or computer. As a bonus, you can use FileManager+ also to uninstall apps directly on watch and other stuff.
----- Extra Tip: How to Setup Without USB (using WiFi only)
How to use this when USB connection doesn't work? It's not hard, but you must keep your watch screen on until you can install PaceOn. First, go to watch Settings -> Connection and connect to a 2.4GHz network, then use any scanner tool to find out what is the IP used by the watch. You must keep the screen on or the connection will drop. Once you find the IP, use adb to connect to watch:
Code:
adb connect watch_IP
where watch_IP is the actual IP used by watch (in the pics below, it's 192.168.0.26, for instance). tThen you can install PaceOn and FileManager+ normally:
Code:
adb install app_name.apk
Install PaceOn first, then use it to activate WiFi and keep screen on so the watch won't disconnect.
----- Downloads & Apps
PaceOn can be found here (please *read* the post to learn how to use it, it has pictures and it's not hard):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...paceon-amazfit-pace-screen-long-want-t3700247
I am using FileManager + v1.7.1, that can be found here (newer versions may work too):
https://apkpure.com/file-manager/com.alphainventor.filemanager
You can use the same file to access the FTP server on your Android phone. For iOS, you can use FileExplorer or any other app with builtin FTP client:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/fileexplorer-file-manager/id510282524?mt=8
For computer (all platforms), I recommend FileZilla:
https://filezilla-project.org
Thanks! Lifesaving, after my USB-Connection dont Work anymore... with Installation of the Filemanager i was able to delete old MP3, to Upload new songs i can use the integrated function in the Amazifit-App, but you cant delete songs their...
Many Thanks!
My usb connection is not working on watch (Pace). So it dont connect to pc any more I have stock rom on watch. Is it possible to transfer/ install the watch faces wirelessly to watch? If yes then how? Or is there any way through which i can access the folders on watch wirelessly Please help me.
Thank you
with best regards.
Thank you very much! This worked for me in Amazfit Stratos 2 using FileManager 2.0, as 1.7.1 is no lnger available.
Hi,
I just bought a mi 4K stick. Android 11
Everything works like a charm except sideloading apps.
Enabled Unknown Sources.
Disabled Google protect.
Granted permission for Downloader and File commander.
Downloader: whenever i click on the file and open the apk to install, it will show the progress bar for 2 seconds and then close. no error.
File Commander: Whenever i try to install the file, progress bar showing staging app and then nothing happens.
I tried the same APK on my TCL Smart TV and it worked like a charm. Android 9
Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Same problem, any solution?

Others have mentioned the same issue. You could try a third party installer app like "downloader".
Or, using adb install or other system level tools.
Do you find solution?
Hi,
did anyone find a solution for this problem ?
a Quick update.... I managed to install apps using ADB Command.
first, enabled developed mode and usb debugging.
enabled unknown source
run adb command from windows laptop and install the apk ( adb install apkname)
https://sites.google.com/site/tweakradje/devices/xiaomi-mi-tv-stick?authuser=0 was very helpful....
i also got them installed thru adb , but when restart all of these apps will go away, its really annoying
to install the apps , follow these below steps :
from the CMD
adb.exe connect "IP address of your android device"
cd " location for your apk apps "
adb install " appname "
done
please if anyone find a solution to make these apps stands , share it with us
got it done successfully
now it runs as it should be
i only did a couple factory reset , then it works
most important , when download the downloader app, make sure you provide full accesses and grant permission for unknown app before open the downloader app
and the same for any other apps , download any desire app from downloader then install it , provide permissions then use the app
that's it

Dear Assad. Can you please have a step by step in how you did it. It would be appreciated
Hello All. I was able to side load some of the apps using adb. I was not successful to install everything but I did not try to see why. I was able to load the apps that I needed and that is why I did not go further. Also, experts might have an idea why I was not able to do it. nonetheless, here is what I did
1- Download the ADB file and rename it to .CMD __TV_STICK_MODS.CMD__
2- Once downloaded and renamed to say"tv_stick_mods.cmd" (just an example), double click the file to run it.
3- It will prompt you to download the adb.exe and it will take you to the site where you can download it from. You will have to download this file "platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows"
4- Once downloaded, you need to extract the the file in a folder where you know the location and add to the same folder the "tv_stick_mods.cmd" (all have to be in the same folder)
5-Download the apps that you want to side load (no need to put them in the same folder)
6- Go to your Mi box stick and enable developers option and enable USB debugging
7- Also from your Mi box go to the setting of your network connection and obtain the IP address for your Mibox (should be something like 192.167.XX.XX)
8- Run "tv_stick_mods.cmd" again and it will prompt you to enter the IP address for the Mi stick. Enter the IP address that you have obtained in #7 and it will try to connect and it will show you a message on the TV to allow PC to connect (Make sure that you are on the same network as the MI stick)
9- Once permission is granted, then go back to PC/ Laptop and you will see a message that says "this does not seem to be a mi-stick do you want to continue"
10- hit yes and it will take you to another menu where you can explore all the options that you can do with the Mi stick from your laptop.
11- for installing apps, choose option 8 (copy / Install/uninstall)
12- In the next menu chose install and it will prompt you to choose the app that you want to install
13- Go to the location where you downloaded the app and choose the app that you want to install
14- It will prompt you if you want to install that app or not. Hit yes and let it install (should not take more than 10 Secs)
15- once done, it will show success and hit any key. Once this is done, go back and see if your app has been installed.
Hope this procedure helps you guy like it did to me and please if there is any flow in what I did please correct me

hello, also for me still searching for solution for auto deleting apps after restart. for some apps not being installed try to search for another app version that match the stick from https://www.apkmirror.com/ . i am choosing the version compatible with armeabi-v7a and its working fine with me for the apps I need.
Good point I will check it out also I totally forgot about compatibility issue. Thank you for the update
