Hey fellow q-founder-owners,
am I right that there is no way to connect the watch to a PC for using ADB etc.?
I tried it with the charging dock and my PC didn't recognize it as a device. Of course there is the option for adb-debugging in the developer options,
but that doesn't change anything.
Also: How can I get into the fastboot section during booting up?
This watch tends so suck more and more....
I am not sure but to use adb you have to activate developer option on your phone and watch and setup an adb session over Bluetooth. http://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/bt-debugging.html
is there any news about connecting?
i still trying this too, but get no connection to my mac or windows pc -.-
Just like with other Android wear watches a USB connection requires a special cable that interfaces with the main board. Very few Android wear watches have traditional USB connectivity...
As for ADB it can be set up via Bluetooth and the Android wear app.
Thank you for this!

I normally just lurk around and not comment on things, but today this was the answer I needed! So thank you for this. I have had a couple of WearOS smartwatches in the past that I would need ADB to give permissions to with Autowear and Tasker. Normally I would just USB connect them to my computer with the charger it came with and the computer can detect them to allow me to debug them with ADB, but I just recently got the Fossil Gen 5 and the charger it came with wasn't working. The computer couldn't detect the watch connected to it through the USB charger. Using these steps to debug through Bluetooth via the phone while the phone was connected via USB to the computer worked great. I'm commenting on this so hopefully, someone like me trying to do the same thing might find this thread/post from Google Search.
Keywords for Google to pick up on - Fossil Gen 5, Autowear, Tasker, ADB

I can't connect the Atrix to the Moto Phone Portal using the USB. Just curious if there is a fix to this? Once the browser is launched (it doesn't matter which browser, IE, Firefox, Chrome) it doesn't connect. USB connection is set to 'Motorola Phone Portal' and Moto Phone Portal app says its 'running on on USB..."
Not sure what is going on- connects fine using Wi-Fi... just annoying that it won't connect with USB. Any help is appreciated?
Thanks,
M
are you on a mac? I think it requires the MotoHelper app on a pc - part of the PC drivers.
I had the same issue but I also couldn't connect via wifi. So... I turned off the debug under applications and then it worked fine. But haven't had time to try it with the usb but it may help.
I am on a PC and have the MotoHelper installed, but it still didn't work. Also I didn't see a debug under applications, haven't done any modifications to my phone (not sure if you need to modify to debug or not, but I couldn't find it).
Maybe its a driver issue with my dell...

Not a Dell issue. I have Dell running Win7 64bit and it works fine. Try to manually reinstall Motohelper. Also, under you Windows Start button you should have:
START>ALL PROGRAMS>MOTOROLA>Motorola Drivers>Motorola Driver Reinstaller.exe.
Run this CLEAN and REINSTALL and Selct START - see my attached. This will reinstall everything associated with the drivers and Motohelper. Reboot Phone and PC and then replug phone into PC and select USB with Motorola Portal.
Same Problem
I've tried all these things and mine keeps switching back to USb Mass Storage. If I switch it back to Motorola Phone Portal, it will give me the address for my browser and it will actually pull up the Portal on my computer but then the phone will switch back to USB storage and I can't go any further on the computer. I've rebooted the computer and the phone and nothing helps. Any help
I tried all those things as well, but still no luck. However, my phone stays on Moto Phone Portal as USB connection, but just won't connect/load the phone portal in the browser(s) when using the USB cable.

You should uninstall the Motorola Media Sync from the PC. I kinda like the software, but it does it's own thing to much with out giving me control. I have spoken to Motorola 2nd level support, but the were no help. They told me to ignore it or uninstall it. I uninstalled it. I left the Motorola drivers installed. If you reinstall the drivers it'll ask you to reinstall the Media Sync - say NO.
Once the Media Sync is gone, then the Portal will not auto load and you can have control of the USB settings from the taskbar.
I had a similar issues
....First, Moto Phone portal does not work on Chrome (insert IP address into IE or Firefox)
If you still have problems...
On phone, from home screen
select Apps drawer
select Phone Portal
select menu
select Settings
select Secure login
uncheck Enable login
did anyone come up with a fix for this? i have tried everything in this thread with no success.
USB Cable
I had this problem as well, just happened to have a few extra Micro USB Cables around. I found that the phone will work with some Cables and have problems with others. If you can try a different USB cable give it a shot.
It works just fine with Chrome.
The USB cable that came with my phone does not work.
When I tried connecting my G Watch over ADB , the device status is shown to be Offline. I have already enabled USB debugging as well as Bluetooth debugging. I am not getting the RSA notification either.
I have updated Google USB drivers as well.
Did anyone else have these issues or does anyone have any idea about getting the ADB connection going?
Assuming you are using windows, check device manager and make sure that the LG watch is labeled: Android Device->Android Composite ADB interface.
Then the RSA notification should come up on your phone to confirm (not on the watch).
Worked for me today and manually updated to lollipop.
Yeah, that is what I am trying, but the RSA notification is not coming up for some reason.
Did you try revoking the authorization from the developers settings on your watch and then trying again?

Is there anyway to have a Windows 7+ computer recognize when you have your phone connected to the same wireless network so it will launch an Application or do a task such as play a song on the windows machine? I assume it would be the same for any Android Phone. I'm not against installing a program on the computer and an App on the phone. The only thing like this that I could see was a wake on LAN App that turned on the computer, but what if the computer was already on and you just wanted it to run a task? Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Try this:

That is a good idea although I was looking for WiFi or bluetooth and not via USB they were looking for when they walk in the door. I think they found the answer through some script online.
Amazfit Stratos not connecting with Macbook pro via android file transfer. the watch is charging but not showing on Macbook, Is there a way to rectify it, and how do i access the storage and delete the music from the stratos.
Are you using the original charger? Third party ones may not work for data transfers. If you are sure that your charger is fine, either check System Information -> USB to make sure the device is connected correctly. AFT sometimes hangs here, but disconnecting and reconnecting the watch fixes the problem without the need to restart my watch.

Same issue here, Stratos is charging but not accessible from Macbook, I'm using original charger, and both have the latest O.S. systems.

How do you know it's not accessible? Did you try adb and/or Android File Transfer? Does it work with another computer?
I have the same problem. Did you find the solution?
Just make sure that cradle (original charger) correctly snap in. No problem here with android file transfer, commander one, apkinstaller, adb or fastboot.
Same issue and I am using the only original charger there is. I am using the Android file transfer program directly downloaded from Amazfit website. Followed instructions 100% as written. Nothing.
If pressing the watch firmly after checking if both metallic pins on watch and cradle are clean, and also checked with another cradle and/or USB port, most probably it's due to an internal problem. You can still transfer files manually to and from watch using WiFi, probably there is a tutorial elsewhere about it.
I think this is a problem with the MacOS rather than the Amazfit. My Amazfit watch is recognised instantly in Android File Transfer, but AFT won't recognise my smartphone anymore. It used to work great, but suddently stopped working. I've tried all kinds of solutions and nothing works.
My watch has a terrible data connection with my mac as well. I think the contacts on the charging cradle don't work too well, because it maintains the connection if I hold it in the cradle tightly.
An easier solution is to go completely wireless. Turn on developer settings by tapping the build number. Then you should be able to get an adb connection over WiFi. Install File Manager +. It's got an ftp server that lets you transfer files directly.
I can't connect my phone to my Peugeot 308 II Sw but I'm sure I'm missing something. I've tried several cables, including the original one from the charger.
As soon as I touch the Android Auto icon on my car, the phone asks about what to do with the USB connection and insists on charge only. When I enable debugging the same happens but a very quick white screen shows up on the phone and then quits. Car's screen shows an "Android Auto error" message.
What am I missing?
What would happen if you changed the usb configuration in developer options. Would that allow android auto to connect to your car?
I've tried the debugging mode only and no go. There are other options though, like "Always prompt when connecting to USB", that one is on and I assume it means asking what USB does? Is that the one you had in mind?
I do not touch the configuration of the usb. It is just automatically connects to the car. You have to to configure the bluetooth and thats it. Start bluetooth when you run android auto.

Bluetooth is connected to the car, it has all the permissions on... the car sees the phone as soon as I turn the key.
BTW, I know the car is compatible and other owners that I've talked to are able to get android auto running without a problem. That's what is odd about this.
