Watchfaces get not transfered to watch

If watches still don't send, please check :
- Make sure WatchMaker face is running on your watch
- Check in the Android Wear app that your watch is connected
- Ensure your watch has the latest version of WatchMaker - often it can be one version behind after an update
- Try an uninstall / reinstall on watch and/or phone.
- Try restarting your watch.
- Make sure WatchMaker is not installed into SD Memory on your phone.
- You need an Android Wear or Tizen Watch
- You can change the Sync Library under WatchMaker App on Phone -> Settings -> Sync Library - try either Data or Message API

Make sure WatchMaker is running on your phone, that you have an active bluetooth connection and no screen timeout on your phone. Otherwise try an uninstall / reinstall. Sometimes you may also need to restart your watch or http://goo.gl/2EYT7C

I reset my htc m8 and watch,it's still same.
same watch connect to other phone,
it's work.
It's This is happening in 2.9.6, I changed 3d text face, moto360 collapsed after the restart.

I try to recovery 2.9.5,update 2.9.7,
It's still same...
I guess it is a phone Bluetooth mac address with watches mac address does not know what touched, so watchmaker does not work.

I am having the same issue since the latest update, the watchmaker app does not show up on watch anymore. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 with an LG G watch.
Reply
AlexCurran, 12.01.2015, 08:42
Android Wear is a little strange at times and you will see these syncing issues across many watch apps right now.
One behaviour I have observed is if the app crashes a couple of times, it gets uninstalled off the watch and it is tricky to get it back.
Also watchfaces don't get synced over if you have a different version on watch and phone, so typically after updating, these issues arise.

A good first step for any problems is to :
- Uninstall WatchMaker from phone
- Wait until watch has been fully removed from watch
- Reinstall on phone and wait or hit sync from Android Wear to restore on watch
- This will make sure watch and phone are both running the same version

Hortax, 12.01.2015, 13:30
I did it twice today, no change, still unable to send the faces to the watch. The watch shows two watchmaker apps : Watchmaker Legagy and Watchmaker for AW5.
Can it possibly be the origin of the problem ?
Reply
AlexCurran, 12.01.2015, 15:39
No they are both the same - one is just optimized for Android Wear 5.0.

Mike, 12.01.2015, 16:05
I'v tried the steps you described, but it did not help. No watchface gets transfered. Intresting, setting the time to 24h display on the app switches to 24h on the watch within a second!

Hey, nice find. Tried to force 24 hour time and.... it works, instantly on the watch... so the phone and the watch are syncing, but not the faces :/

Same thing for me with a Note 4 and g Watch r. It says it transfers, watch vibrates, but screen is blank.
Reply
AlexCurran, 12.01.2015, 15:38
If you get vibrate then blank watchface, it means it is sending a watch but that watch is getting an error. Which watchface are you sending? If you have a link on facerepo that would also help.
Reply
Viciouscircle, 13.01.2015, 01:30
The vibrate I get is the one that I have set for vibrate on set watch face. It happens for all faces, even the default ones. I have reset the watch, uninstalled, tried the other tricks. Other watch faces from the play store work fine, as does face and it's faces. It seems to be something specific to watchmaker for me.
Reply
Viciouscircle, 22.01.2015, 14:44
I've narrowed down the issue, at least for the problem with a blank face after transferring that I was having. When I set a numbers layer, and then set a text effect on that layer, the watch transfers a blank watch (or, maybe it transfers nothing). But, if I remove the text effect from that numbers layer, then everything works properly again.
Reply
Paul , 12.01.2015, 17:25
I am able to see the blue face but none of the others despite the message that it was sent to the watch. It's watchmaker legacy, Samsung Gear Live, 4.4

AlexCurran, 15.01.2015, 19:40
We are actively investigating. Things to try if you haven't already :
- Try without installing the WatchMaker app on sdcard.
- Try transferring a simpler watch, e.g. one of the built-in watches.
Reply
AlexCurran, 15.01.2015, 19:44
Also try :
- Set a longer screen timeout on phone and watch.
- See if other settings transfer to watch, e.g. 24 vs 12 hours in settings

If ANY of the above works, please please post here and share so we can figure out whats going wrong!

Hi Mike. I did the following : uninstall Watchmaker from my phone then did Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.
Removed the BeautifulWatches directory from the phone, created a .nomedia directory on my sdcard (using TotalCommander). Not sure if it's related but AW changed the display on my phone from " connected sync loop running" to "connected" then re-installed Watchmaker et voilà

I think so.... What I did is 'factory data reset'. It will erases all data on phone. And before I did that, I cleared all data on Google play services(Apps..Google play services..Clear cache..Manage space..Clear all data). So I think there is no residual data on my phone.

Did you ever see my statement above?

Phone: Acer Jade S which with no sdcard.

What I even do was:
[1] phone: factory data reset* watch:reset device
[2] reinstall android wear and watchmaker.

What I can see is still default watch face.
While I press 'SET WATCHFACE', I can see 'sending to wear' on my phone but everything was not happened.

And by the way, the changing of '12 hour/ 24 hour' was work.
You mentioned about 'screen timeout' I can not find it out on my phone. But I guess it's the same about 'sleep'.
What I do was
*settings *Display *Sleep *30 minute.

So no sdcard! No residual data! No 2 versions!
What's wrong?

Having the same issue on my LG G Watch R, but not on all watch faces. Some load fine while others just freeze the watch. 2 examples are the Aviary Rotomatic and Bumblebee. Won't load at all. Also have experienced high battery drain on my phone using Sportwatch V1.5. Watch battery was fine. Must being doing lots of battery intensive request. Was outside so shouldn't have had any problem getting location information, but not in the best area for signal. My Oneplus One lost 20% battery in an hour. Was fine when I changed to an alternate watch face.

I have put this off for 3 days thinking that something would work, but it hasnt. I have a new LG WATCH R and Watchmaker Premium app. right after I bought the app, it worked, but it was very unstable. then it just stopped sending watches to the phone. at first it was at least making the phone blink like it was receiving info, and then it just quit altogether. I have no idea what to try. I have done everything I have read and still no luck. something has obviously changed, but I cant figure it out. Does the creator of this app ha ve any idea what the hell is going on or are we left to just guess?

Try removing elements from the watch and see if it goes.
I narrowed it down to two date elements and after removing them the face goes to the watch without any problem.

@Dev: A bit of unrequested advice: Please take a careful look at this. This seems to be a bug in the code. Stop recommending people to re-install the app, etc. It has not worked for most people in this thread. Just fix the bug. You have clearly spend a lot of time in this app, and it is absolutely great when it works. Don't let a small bug ruin the experience for your users.

Willion, 18.03.2015, 04:37
Yeah, this is also what I want to say. This is not our problem, this is your problem!
I can not see any action on this problem! All I can see was copy and paste, and repeated.

i also could not see the watchface app on the watch (samsung s5 and lg watch r)

i updated the watches firmware (took about 20 mins) and tried again.

restarted the watch, deleted the beautiful face folder from the phone, restarted the app and it bloody worked.

start the android wear app
check if the watch is connected
start the watchface app
change to the watchface watch on the watch
and send the desired face to the watch
took me 6 hours to figure it out!!!!

Wllion - please try the 11 point plan at the top of this post - this was updated today.
We are also adding new syncing logic soon which will add a progress bar to further troubleshoot issues.
Reply
Willion, 27.03.2015, 12:01
Have anyone tried that and been successful?
Have you try to realize that if is it effective?
I reread this 11 point plan, and I'm sure it's not work.

I install only one version, my phone has no SD card,
my watch is connected, even face from other app is always worked.

I choose simpler built-in watch face like 'Sweeper', but nothing happened after I hit 'SET WATCHFACE' once.
And when I transfer 12 vs 24 hour, it's worked. So this app is running, but can not change face.

Gents, I tried the 11 steps and still transfer of a watchface does not work. Not of an installed one nor a simpler one. Helpless :-( Always stays with 'steel Blue'.

Just for info: In 'steel Blue' the time setting change from 12h to 24h and way back work perfect, within a second. But no other watchface.

I cannot believe that this issue has still not been properly dealt with! We have paid and are not getting g any advice apart from the usual stuff most of us have tried BEFORE we resorted to leaving a comment here. Please do not ask me to go through the mythical 11 point plan as I have tried that a least 3 times with no effect. I run a standard HTC m8 with a LG watch R with the latest software. All the other watchfaces work as they should. Yourd is the only one. You should address this as a priority as its been a problem for long enough. It few like we are not getting service to be honest! We should be warning people about buying this before they try the normal free version, which I should have done to be honest.

Had all of te prblems listed above. In fact haven't even seen a Watchmaker Watchface at all on my LG G Watch R (only options are 18 preloaded). Reset, restarted, updated ad infinitum. 11 part plan etc. Just doe all again so interestingly Alex I do have v3.5.3. All that happens now is a white screen on the watch with 'Unfortunately Watchmaker premium has stopped...ok'

Stressful times huh? Same issue. You have to build a rest button on the premium app to clear out the free version. The free version, if installed first, makes errors for the full version, and think about it... Everybody is going to do that. We just need a way to reset the whole app if we buy premium. I think that's the source of this bug.
Reply
AlexCurran, 17.04.2015, 13:52

Let's just clarify something here. You have 50000 downloads. Seems unlikely that reflects 300000 users. You have under 5000 reviews so, taking your figure of 300000 users that's 295000 who weren't impressed enough to review, despite your nag-for-a-review approach. Less than 2% have clicked your popup to review.

Please don't hide behind misleading numbers. Regardless of how many people are effected, there is clearly a problem and you can't expect all your users to have no screen timeout on the phone and watch just to make it work.

Attempting to prevent me from posting by blocking my email won't work.

Removing my comments is futile. A lot of people are unhappy and if I be lived you had 300000 downloads that would need well over half a million pounds for poor software. Get it working or get refunding.

watch -Asus zenwatch which has software version 5.0.2
Watchmaker -Only install the newest premium version, version on phone and watch are the same.

-Only one icon on phone and watch.
-Face change to watchmaker after hit that icon.
-12/24 hour changing is worked but face changing is not worked.
-Watch face keep at 'steel blue', face can not get transferred even built-in face.

Sometimes Android Wear takes a few hours to sync watchfaces to the watch - to show WatchMaker as a selectable face.

If when you hit 'Send Watchface', it doesn't transfer, make sure you check the troubleshooting steps at the top of this post. We have talked to many people on here who now have this working by checking these steps.

We also have an experimental fix in 3.6 beta which may help devices which are still having problems sending watchfaces.

As a Second thought to this, when I removed my SD card from my Note 4 I got an error from Watchmaker Premium that it couldn't find the SD card and thus couldn't download the watch face. Not sure why it defaults to the SD card. But could also be a source of why it's not working.

WatchMaker 3.7.3 Released - please wait up to 2 hours to get the update :

Fixed sending faces on many watches by removing Channel API. On investigation, many older watches haven't' received Android Wear 1.1+ and any reference to the Channel API library breaks syncing completely on these watches. We will re-add Channel API in the future - please choose from Data API or Message API

Fixed many watches loading on LG Watch R and others by disabling glow effects on marker, shape and text ring layers

- Set watchface as 'watchmaker premium' in android wear app
- Then, send a watch face in watch maker app
- The watchface successfully sent to my Zenwatch!

Spend 2hrs to find this route... :(

Good idea. Does not work with Moto 360 2nd.
Setting watchmaker in Android wear changes the watchface on the Moto. So the connection is established.
But Watchmaker anyway cannot connect to watch :-(

I just purchased the premium version on my galaxy note 4 with android 5.0.1 and android wear 1.3.0.xxx
I have moto 360 which is paired to the phone.
However, there is no way to send watchfaces to the phone.
There are only the factory default faces on the phone - no watchmaker face.
When I try "set watchface" I get "can't connect to watch".

The really annoying thing is there is no way to submit bugs or get support, only comment on existing entries in this website.

Doesn't upload watchfaces.

New install on Huawei Watch, New install on Nexus Tablet (running Android 5.1.1), latest Watchmaker (downloaded/installed 2015-12-18).

Simply doesn't upload watchfaces. Ever.

While in Wear, I can switch between the two default faces, and that's it. No uploads, all other watchfaces (from other apps) load.

Fail, unfortunately.

I think I found a solution to the same problem; I have an LG urbane (1st edition) and an S5. This worked for me, anyway:
1. connect watch to phone with Android Wear app.
2. open watchmaker app.
3. edit watch face.
4. go to watchmaker settings, change sync library to data API.
5. go back to watchmaker watch face and press ""set watchface". (I saw a pop-up window say "sending to wear..." then I got a bigger pop-up window that said "could not update..." and "change sync settings was at the bottom".
6. go to watch settings and select the watchmaker app icon. (watch will now show a generic digital time and watch face as if the watchmaker app was never sync'd to your phone. this is ok.
7. change sync setting in watchmaker app back to 'message API'.
7. go back to phone's watchmaker app and re-press "set watchface". watch's face will now show edited watch face.

I don't know why (I'm not a programmer) but it seems changing the sync to Data API updates android wear as a prerequisite to updating your watch's face using the watchmaker app. Even though my phone displays sync did not work I choose the watchmaker app on my watch, which seemed to 'reset' (poor choice of words?) the watch face app on the watch. Now I'm free to send any updated watch face to the watch using the app.

It's a lot of extra steps, but I hope it works for everyone else.

Taylor Sipes, 26.01.2016, 15:41
I have tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling on both watch and phone to changing from message to data and still nothing. The only one that attempts to change my watch face is message api but even that just turns my screen black on my watch and then it tells me on the app that it was unable to transfer. If this is suppose to be the best app for watches, why is it that so many of us have problems? I have even tried emailing the person who made this app and he/she does not respond. All I want is a nice fully functional Fallout watchface for my Samsung Gear Live.

Phone: Samsung Note 5
Watch: Samsung Gear Live

The problem appears to be with the Beautifulwatches folder. I uninstalled the premium version, renamed the Baautifulwatches folder and then installed premium again. This worked. Then I manually copied all of the watched I created from the old folder to the new (look for files starting with the "u" and a number. These files are scattered over multiple sub folders.
Another thing I now need to fix are the tasker integrations, they are all broken due to the change in app name.

Reply
Juwlz, 01.04.2017, 10:13
WatchMaker and my watch are not talking to each other since yesterday 31 March, and there was a watchmaker update on 30 March.

WatchMaker won't send a watch face to my watch (the usual error message / suggestions on things to try pops up, and none of the suggestions work), and i cant even select a watchmaker face on the watch itself.

Also, even though i have Sony SW3 set as my Watch, WM is now making my faces look round in the My Watches tab.
Reply
Juwlz, 01.04.2017, 10:46
Hmm. Well, I'm not sure what changed, but WM started telling me that it needed to enable Storage Capability on the watch (which is fine - I can cope with that as an error message and behaviour). I then had to disable Draw over other Apps in every App that had it enabled and reboot my phone before I could get it to enable Storage Capability on the watch.

So I now have my watch face back.

WM still insists on showing me round faces in the My Watches tab though.

For the record, I have WM v4.1.4, Android Wear v2.0.0.15937786, Android 7.0 on a Sony Xperia Z5, and a Sony SW3 watch.

Also, since I got this working again, my phone is running extremely hot, and using battery at an alarming rate. I may have to disable WatchMaker to see if it makes a difference.
Reply
Juwlz, 06.04.2017, 07:24
Aaarrgggghhhh. This is driving me nuts. I've just had to go through the whole rigmarole again because I've changed my phone.

Once more, I've got Watchmaker installed, and I can select the default face from the watch, but if I try to choose my preferred face, I get told that Watchmaker needs to access photos, media and files on my device (fine), but when I try to tick to enable it from the watch, I get an error message to say "Screen overlay det..."

I've disabled Draw over other Apps for ever app on my phone. I've rebooted the phone. I've rebooted the watch. I've checked on the phone, and Watchmaker DOES have Storage permission (it also has Body Sensors, Calendar and Your Location).

If I try to set the watch face from the phone, I get a message saying
"In order to store watch faces, your watch requires storage permission.

Please follow the prompts on your watch to continue."

But I can't, because I go around the same loop again as above.

So what on EARTH is missing?

The only thing I can think of is that this is some sort of mismatch between Android Wear 2.0 on my phone, and a watch that is never going to get Android Wear 2.0 (it's a Sony SW3, running Android 6.0.1 and Android Wear 1.5.0.3508863

In fact, if I go to Settings | Permissions | Watchmaker on the Watch, I can't enable Sensors either, because I get the same issue with "Screen Overlay det..."
Reply
Juwlz, 06.04.2017, 07:40
Aha! I'd disabled Draw over other Apps for every app on the phone, and still couldn't change the Watch's storage settings. Then finally, something at http://www.gadgetraid.com/2016/10/screen-overlay-detected/ made me add System Apps on my Huawei P10, and having disabled all those too, I finally got it to work!

Richard Sasha you need to update your watch - full details here: http://watchmaker.haz.wiki/update_watch_app

Main points:
- After the migration make sure you do not have 2 versions on your watch - you need WatchMaker not WatchMaker Premium.
- If you still see WatchMaker Premium on your watch please uninstall it using watch settings.
- Please uninstall Wear MiniLauncher if you have it! You may get permission loop error
- Please start WatchMaker on your watch at least once and accept permissions

I'm also unable to get faces onto the watch. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both iPhone app & the Watch app. There are usually 2 scenarios:
(Behavior 1) Phone & watch app seem to sync & behave correctly, but watch then says LOADING and is stuck there indefinitely. I can switch to one of the standard faces on the watch, but the new WatchMaker face is not there when I switch back.
(Behavior 2) Phone acts correctly, but watch says "> waiting for face", then "Checking for new faces", then "Face is uploading" (which sounds promising), but then goes back to "> waiting for face" again and nothing else happens.
So far, very disappointing.

I hope this can be made more reliable. Thanks!

I installed watchmaker a lot of time ago, and it worked fine... after an update, about six months ago, it stopped working: it's not syncing watch faces anymore... now, since i'm not the only one with this problem and it's a bug u created with an update, could u please fix it? (in my case the watch is stuck on loading screen and the phone says "can't connect to watch")

Still cannot sync my iPhone 6Plus with my Samsung Gear S3... just did iOS update and S3 watch face update and no luck. Turn on app on iPhone, select watch face and press send code. On watch, the default watchmaker watchface is open, press get get code, press enable watch sync and a quick flash of a gray watch face then back to iPhone setup screen. If I turn off Bluetooth but leave wifi on, same Hong. If I turn off wifi and leave Bluetooth on, I get "could not connect to watchmaker CloudSync check wifi"...

Watchmaker Pro used to work up until a couple of weeks ago, except it would lose paid for watch faces.

I have nearly the same problem with watchmaker.

When the Bluetooth connection is disconnected because out of range and the BT is connected again, the watchmaker has problems to sync with gears s3.
No data like phone battery, etc .. . Also sending watchfaces over BT is not working anymore.
But with other apps, BT is working great.
To solve the problem, I have to switch off BT on the smartphone and enable again.
After that the sync between watchmaker and Gears S3 is working well again.

Android 6.0.1
Watchmaker App: 4.8.2

I have an interesting story about my connectivity, so here's my adventure.
Galaxy S7, Hauwei watch. Installed Android Wear 2, Watchmaker. Watch wouldn't connect to Google Play store to get more watch faces or download the WM companion app.
What worked for me: watch Bluetooth off, wifi on. Phone bluetooth on, wifi and cell networks on.
Used watch to hit the Play Store and download Watchmaker and install. Turned watch BT back on and used phone to sync with watch. Turned both devices off and on (no reboot, reset, or anything like that; just a regular power cycle). That fixed it. I think there was some infighting going on between the BT antenna, Wifi, and permission to access apps. Once I took the BT antenna out of the mix, everything worked. Play store updated, Watchmaker companion installed, etc.
This won't solve everyone's issues, but it finally worked for me, so I hope this combo helps...

Check the wiki for sending here: http://watchmaker.haz.wiki/cloudsync
WiFi may be disconnecting on your watch - you can also try the following to see if it prevents WiFi disconnecting:
- turn bluetooth off on watch - this will enable Wifi to stay on!
- in iOS Android Wear app, click settings -> Your Feed -> On
- connect watch to charging cable
- force close Wear OS app on iPhone first

Gear S3 and Samsung S7. Transferring watchface to watch fails repeatedly. After applying the Watchmaker Companion for Gear S2 & S3 I see Check your gear, but there is nothing there and the next attempt to load my watchface fails again. Fail and repeat. Phone shows Gear S3 "Connected for call audio".

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, shut down, restarted, both watch and phone too many times to count.

Android 8.0.0. I believe the Watchmaker version is 5.1.9.

Hi Alex, I recently purchased Watchmaker Premium from the Amazon App Store. I didn't realize that it's apparently behind in versions compared to the Google Play Store version and it doesn't list explicit support for my watch (Verizon Wear24). The setup text does say that even if my watch isn't listed, then the app should still work. However, I can't send any watch faces to my Wear24.

Is there a reason why the Amazon App Store version is behind the Google Play Store version? And is there a fix for my problem?

Why is the app constantly, and I mean constantly, disconnecting from my Samsung Galaxy Watch? Several times a day. The only way to restore the connection is to change the watchface on the watch to non-Watchmaker face and then back again. Over and over. And it looks like this is not an isolated problem...when will it be fixed already???

It seems like this is an old problem that hasn't been solved yet. Anyways i'm just leaving my comment here just in case anyone ever figueres this out. I have the loading text in my moto 360 with the circle and everything but simply won't recieve a watchface. I consider myself one of many that have gone trough the same process of reinstalling, erasing and everything by now and it just simply wont work again. it used to work perfectly fine, it's actually a good app but this bug or whatever is causing the app to misbehave is causing severe damage to the Watch Maker reputation and to us as users. So my only wish is that it can be fixed soon, I mean it's 2021 and we have a lot of info out there so let's keep on working this out together. Cheers to everyone!!

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Watch and phone cannot seem to get on the same page. Everything is updated and WM is set as the watchface. When I try to send a face from the phone, the android app tells me to make sure WM is set on the watch then waits for WM to be activated on the watch eventhough it is already set. Have tried updating the library, setting other watchface services, uinstall and reinstall, cache and app data clearing, permission resets, power cycling, and even waiting for a fix. This is literally the last thing that I possible for me to do. Scratch my issue on the bathroom stall wall here and wait for no solution. This major issue is apparently not very important to the ones who took my money but wont take time to fix their issues.
