Hi there, I just recently bought a Ticwatch GTX, thinking it was installed with Wear OS, but turns out it was installed with a proprietary OS made by Mobvoi (I know... I'm really not careful). The reason why I bought the watch in the first place was to create Wear OS apps with it, but after buying it, I can't even find out how to enable ADB debugging... I've tried clicking each item listed in the Settings page (there is no Build number) 10 times, and none of them triggered a response or a toast message. Any help is appreciated.
It's not wear OS. It's a much smaller, simpler system that probably cannot run third party apps.

I tried the Q on the in the NY store and was sold the moment i put in on. But now that i start to play around with it I'm experiencing some issue's. First and foremost is that I installed a new watch-face (world-timer) to add timezone support and it seems to freeze every now and then after that. How can i troubleshoot watch freezes and how can i uninstall the watch-face ? - i really want this to work.
Remove it from android wear
To uninstall a watch face find it in your phone's apps and select uninstall just like you would for any other app.
The Founder and Tag are the only Intel Wear devices out right now so there are some compatibility issues with certain apps and faces. I'm not sure if this is the case but keep it in mind.
Are you using the 1st Gen FossilQ Founder? (None swappable wrist bands)
What build number are you on? (Settings -> About -> Build number)
I believe the latest is M1D65G with Android wear 1.5.0.3686357 with Android version being 6.0.1.
If you're not on the latest then updating should help with the lag issues as when I first got this watch it lagged a lot but after many updates it has gotten better!
Hopefully we get Android Wear 2.0 as now the new Fossil watches have snapdragon processors and this version has the Intel Atom chip.
Hey XDA developers, I need your help.
I recently gave my girlfriend my Asus Zenwatch 2, since I just bought the Zenwatch 3. She has an iPhone, and the watch faces she can set up are very limited. Is there a way to load third party watch faces on the ZW2 connected to an iPhone? I've heard of methods that require plugging a watch through USB but I don't think that's possible with Zenwatch. Could there be any other method?
Thank you guys
From what I have read, Android Wear on iOS is a pale imitation of the Android version. You can't download new faces and iOS refuses to allow it to run as a service. It also lacks access to other Google services, and Apple refuses to let it integrate with Siri. All in all, it seems like iOS support for Android watches is more of a gimmick than anything else.
However, to answer your question, unfortunately, while the ZW2 (and AW in general) will store faces for offline use, the only way to repair is to factory reset. That means that temporarily connecting it to your Android device is out.
Your only hope, as far as I can tell, is to see if there is a way to repair without the factory reset using a root method. I'm not aware of any, though.
If you can find the APK for the face you want off of like apkmirror you can enable adb debugging from developer options and install with adb install app.apk or you can do it through TWRP if you unlocked the bootloader with adb sideload app.apk.
Hi guys, I was just thinking if my PC , from which i read emails sent for my gmail account which is the same account I have on my Android device , gets hacked one day, and the hacker also has some virus app hidden at Play Store, if he could remotely keep installing this virus app at my Android device perpetually , even if I format my device .
Gmail is pretty bullet proof as long as you don't bring in downloads. What's kept in the cloud, stays in the cloud.
Never in over 12 years had a virus infect either Android or Window device via Gmail. Which is why I use it.
Most infections are downloaded or installed by the user including those nasty jpegs and pngs. Had one recently that destroyed files in my downloads folder but never got beyond that.
Perhaps because I discovered it within minutes and was able to isolated it ie delete it.
Simply changing your password after the Android reload would defeat the hacker anyway. Right?
For real paranoia there are viruses that can allegedly escape a reload purge by hiding in what should be immutable areas of the internal memory. Presumably only a firmware reflash could eradicate them.
The SD card is another hiding place...
Keep at least 2 hdd backups of it that are physically and electronically isolated from each other. Enforce this isolation if there is the slightest sign of malware until it's eliminated.
Losing your head with a infected device can destroy your whole data base... got to keep them separated.
It may get one, even two devices but not the isolated hdds unless you screw up bad.
Tks for the reply and for the hints
The reason for my thread was that I got at my new tablet, an adware which would pop up the Google Play Store with the app IQ Option ( a Forex app , from IQ Option ) . The IQ option "pop up" started after installing Netflix , Amazon Prime and... a paid calculator app called Calculator Infinity from Inception Mobile.
I already contacted Samsung which asked me to take the tablet to the repair service, I contacted Google which asked me to take numerous steps which didnt prove succesful, including formating the device.... It has stopped after 2 months, not sure why ( Android update??? Banishment of IQ Option Forex of Brazil due to law transgressions??) . I dont think it was the law enforcement since I saw some cases reporting this virus at another foruns after the banishment of IQ Option... Due to the pandemic, I didnt take the tablet yet to service repair. Planning to do it at march. But I would like some more advices... Dont want to migrate in the future for IOS because of this.
P.S: Ive already flagged the app at the Google Play Store, but Im afraid Im pointing the wrong culrprit... Nothing happened , so maybe Google didnt find anything...
If you reloaded the OS that should be the end of it unless you installed it after the reload or it's in your data that you added after the reload.
It may not be the app(s) you suspect...
Scan with Malwarebytes.
Thats the question, it was a new tablet . I instaled only Netflix, Amazon Prime and when I put this calculator app, the problem started. As soon as the the problem started, I ran the antivirus that comes with Samsung tablet ( McAfee ) , and nothing was detected, I later instaled Avast, nothing was detected, then AVG, nothing was detected again, but the problem continued for 2 months.

Forget all the mentioned scanners and comparable ones: they all are absolutley useless on Android. These scanners all exist for one purpose only: to pull money out of the pocket of fearful Android users like John Doe / Jane Doe
Take note that latest Android versions by default come with AVB ( read: Android Verified Boot ) feature, what prevents any changes can be made to Android's system - of course unless this feature gets disabled by user ( what is a bit complicated because user must know how to modify device's bootloader ).
Knowing this you must not fear Android's system gets infected, IMO.

So what does explain the autonomous opening of Google Play at the app IQ Option on my new Galaxy tab s6 which was acquired at the beginning of 2020? This behavior lasted from february to april and resisted, during this period, inumerous factory resets. Was it caused from an adware installed by the calculator app?? Was an app remotely installed from a PC virus that used the same Google account of the tablet? Or was something else?
SM-G991U - Since Android 12 upgrade, often when unlocking I set a random pop-up that says, "item already copied to clipboard". I can't find anything to tun it off and it screaming doesn't affect to issue either. Anyone else have this and fix it? It makes no sense.
I'm also experiencing this but unfortunately I've no idea what's causing it. I'll keep an eye out for more reports of it.
I found some complaints on the Samsung forum too. Nothing suggested seems to fix it. I keep f'ing with settings that not only don't fix this but other things then get FU. Supper annoying.
What I think is happening is that unlocking the screen triggers the copying to clipboard pop-up but it's just the message. I can't see that anything is copied to clipboard except text I choose.
Not sure my AT&T POS can be rooted easily but when I get tired of this clipboard nonsense I'll look into it. I imagine a custom de-bloated ROM will fix it is Samsung won't.
Do you have KDE Connect installed? If so, could you try disabling Clipboard Sync in the plugin settings and see whether that stops the pop-ups?
Thanks. That suggestion has promise. I assume that worked for you. I've disabled it and will let you know after a day or two. Maybe the reason it isn't a huge problem is that that Android/Linux users aren't a big user base?
Since I've disabled that option in KDE Connect I've not seen the pop-up once (been a couple of days).
It makes sense because I think KDE Connect is regularly copying stuff to the clipboard from the connected computer. A lot of the time it will be the same data and whereas Android 11 never reported it, Android 12 obviously does.
So it's not an Android issue as such (although why _would_ it report that a needless copy to clipboard operation has been performed? It would just be an annoyance anyway!), I think KDE Connect needs to change to a check before copying to the clipboard.
Raised a bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446567
Excellent. You totally nailed KDE Connect as causing it. I haven't gotten the pop-up for 2 days now.
KDE Connect could "fix it" by simply making the "feature" off by default. I'm still inclined to think Android should fix it. Earlier Android releases didn't have this problem. I've had KDE Connect for years.
Thanks for the work around!
I am having this issue( item already copied to clipboard) with a new Samsung A52 (recently updated to android 12 One UI 4.0 but was doing the same prior to update), i do not have KDE connect installed that i can find.
Well, since removing KDE Connect I haven't had any issue with it. I suggest you start a new thread for the A52. This thread solves is for the S21.

Same, i have the same issue on Galaxy Fold 3 and no KDE installed
Crazy idea but knowing that removing KDE Connect from the S21 fixed the issue, install KDE Connect and then uninstall KDE Connect. Maybe it leaves some residual that corrects the problem. Can't hurt.
I also recommend starting a thread for the A52 asking this question.

Crazier things have happened ! i will look into that and see if it works .
i have indeed started a thread in the A52 forum ( about 3 weeks ago)with no responses as of yet .

Best I can do is keep my fingers crossed for you. Sorry
It is not an issue. It's a feature in Android 12 that warns user that the app is copying the content of the clipboard. It's a privacy feature and you can turn it off at settings - privacy.
Didn't work for me while KDE Connect was installed. Maybe this is the problem "Alert when clipboard accessed" being turned on under privacy for the A52 users.
have this kids tablet pbskd7200, it looks like it's from 2020.
We bought it used as a gift to one of my nephews, it was complete, pretty much open box quality, but it's running a full fat Android 10 instead of Android go edition.
Judging from the specs this tablet should be able to run Android 10. Every app, game, including settings all crash and default to home screen (I disabled all pbs apps via adb, also all useless bloatware)
I tried everything to fix this, my last hope is to find a older version of Android, but I can't find any guides or roms to flash. Or a light weight one
Would be great if someone can send me a link to a rom or guide to do this. Oem is unlocked from the developers settings.
please share screenshot of phone info
