Problem with P20 lite and Android Auto app - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi
First time post in this forum - hope someone can help me.
Just getting back to driving after lockdown and have noticed a problem with using Android Auto app. My P20 lite connects to the cars Infotainment system using USB cable via Android Auto app. I use this for navigation using Google maps, I also use Telegram for messaging, and VCL or Spotify for music.
When Android Auto loads, the Launcher function, which allows you to choose whichever app you want does not work and you are stuck with whatever app you last used. The area where other app shortcuts should be displayed is blank. One time in 10, it will work normally. My car is a 2017 Skoda Octavia estate with a Bolera head unit. Here are the things I have done so far to try to remedy the situation :
1 Replace the USB cord (twice)
2 Update the head-units firmware /software to the latest version
3 Update all phone software - Maps, and all other software to latest versions
4 Tried 2 other Android devices* both worked OK
* ( Google Pixel 3a with Android 11,Samsung S2 tablet with Android 7 and my P20 running Android 9)
5 I have also disabled most Huawei apps and the Huawei ID - anything which ad the ability to work over other apps or had the ability to write its own settings.
Now I'm out of Ideas. Any help much appreciated

Sync to Phone without Android wear

Hello!
So, I am having a big, big problem. I flashed too many ROMS until now, but on all of them I have same problem: the battery drains too quickly and that is because of Bluetooth which is all the time switched on and so, the android wear app which is listening.
And I need this. Because that's why I bought the watch.
I want to have 1 day of battery for watch and for phone. That's all. And with bluetooth and data enabled for the whole day...
I want to get rid of Android WEAR. And to have other apps that send the notifications to the watch.
Can I have this? Or I'm stuck with Wear?
Thank you....
Other details:
Phone: Lg g4 H815, Resurrection remix 5.7.4 build from 23.10.2016
Smartwatch: Moto 360 2nd edition = bought 1 month ago
ANdroid Wear: 1.5.0.3129099
Google play services: 9.8.77
ANdroid OS: 6.0.1
Reply to my own post:
It is NOT possible. You have to use Android Wear App so that it sends the notifications and other data to your watch.
THere is still a hope from the microG project... but there is a long way until then... (https://microg.org/)
Wait until Android Wear 2.0

And then? Android Wear 2.0 is different at this subject (meaning functioning without Android Wear app, Google Play services etc) ?

AFAIK you can consider the watch as another device,
Notification will send directly to the watch via WiFi or Bluetooth
But most importantly, it still need your phone if there isn't WiFi and the phone will keep awake
You better buy LG watch as it has LTE support if you really concern about the battery…

Google Feed in watch shows only weather

Dear all,
I have a Fossil Q Founder 2.0 since yesterday, running Android Wear 2.0. Basically, I am quite happy. But I am a fan of the Google news feed on my Nexus 5x (running Android 8.0 "Oreo"), ans as far as I know, the watch should display some (or even all) of the content, e.g. weather, traffic and upcoming appointments. But the Google app in the watch ("My Feed") only gives me a single tile that reports the current weather - that's it.
I did a Google search to find a solution and followed the most common steps to resolve issues:
I tried to reset the watch to factory settings. I re-installed the Google app on the watch and deleted its data and cache.
I even deleted the cache of the Google Play Services and of the Google app on my phone, and I re-installed the Android Wear app on the phone.
I tried to use the stable as well as the "beta" Google app on the phone.
All software is up-to-date both on my phone as well as on the watch.
Nothing helps - I still get only the weather tile. Maybe it is related to Oreo on my phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tobias
I have been also trying to figure this out anybody out there have a solution?
My Q Founder 2 gen updated to Oreo https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=74863033
today and only weather in feeds stay there...
It's the same on the Gen 3 Fossil Q Explorist

Huawei Wear and Huawei Health APP [BAND 2 PRO]

Hello!
Is there any possiblity to get more fetures ?
I can't connect my Huawei Band 2 PRO like common BT device, just via Huawei Wear app, this is limitation, cuz I can use only running/swimming/cycling in huawei health app only.
Would be nice to get Pulsometer for other apps like Endomondo, google fit (there is sharing with google fit, but i think google app cant use pulsemeter ?) etc.
IS there any smart guy which can modify Huawei Wear app for sharing Pulsometer for other apps ? Or some kind of mod.zip with pin/key grabbed out from wear app for common android BT connection?
When i'm tring connect via BT android option i have got "bluetooth incorrect pin or passkey"
@F5
I would love that too
I got mine yesterday, paired with my also new Pixel 2 XL, but today it doesnt pair, it says wrong PIN #, I didnt change anything related

Question No bixby or bedtime mode

I bought a new Samsung Galaxy a03s from T-Mobile about a week ago. I tried to turn on bedtime mode yesterday but it's not in my settings or my Clock app. I also don't have Bixby on my phone (not complaining but still worth mentioning). Any way I could fix this?
What android version do you have? If its android 11 - 12 it should be in Clock app in Alarms section. If its android 13 then it should be in Modes And Routines, which you can find in settings or once again in Clock app.
So I just found out for some reason it's bundled in a separate app in the Galaxy Store, one called '[T OS] Modes and Routines'. At this point I don't need it so it's fine but still, it's odd that it isn't built into the OS like with my old Revvl 6 5G running Android 12.
Also for clarification, I run Android 13.

I just ditched my ticwatch c2 for a pair of Samsuck Watch 4 classic.. I'll outline what worked for me as a repository for watch 4 (I dunno if it will work with watch 5)..
1. Install Chinese version of wear os.. 2.6.2 is the latest version if I'm not wrong.. it's ok to install older 2.5.5 version from apkmirror.
2. Give wear os auto launch permissions, background running permissions and nearby devices permission.
3. Install older version of Samsuck wearable app (I used 2.2.54.22112861, Dec 2022).. install older version of Samsuck watch4 manager plugin (I used 2.2.11.22012751).. u might wanna try earlier versions of watch5 plugin not from the app store to test what works..
4. U can take this chance to give some auto run permission to wearable n plugin app..
5. Install Samsung Health..
6. Open Samsung health app, do whatever necessary setup to get to main screen..
7. Select 3 dot menu > settings > accessories.. power on ur watch..
8. Click scan for accessory at the bottom of the page n wait for the watch name to pop up.. clicking on it will start pairing process..
9. Once paired, wearable app will open up and start irritating u with all the terms n conditions plus approval to spy on u.. select what is necessary to get through..
10. Wearable will download 2.6.2 wear os (china) and install.. it's a prerequisite, or else it will not finish pairing.. wear os seems to be needed for communication with watch..
11. After wear os is updated, u will see a page with Google's TOS.. uncheck the diagnostics and location and click next.. I never manage to proceed further if I left either diag or location enabled, so just switch both off..
12. Sit and wait for the setup to complete.. once completed, u can go to play store and update the watch plugin to the latest version..
