step1: settings > connections>network & internet >mobile hotspot & tethering > bluetooth tethering
I will try that agian, as i did not get time to undo everything.

Watch has BT on

Phone:
settings > connections
settings > connections>network & internet >mobile hotspot & tethering >
bluetooth tethering
This give me internet access, although i did not try it for more than ~10 minutes.
Since there are no new firmware updates, should i work on getting phone notifications to the watch, or can the watch display its own notification form Gmail or Google calendar?

Watch
settings>conection-devices touch gear select internet access

yes, the watch will display its own notifications as long as it has the apps and you are signed into them

I will see if that works,.
Does anyone use Gboard versus AOSP keyboard? I seem to have a problem with Gboard not displaying non letters and number characters.

Andy, do you mean turn the ASOP keyboard button off , or delete that keyboard? I can try the floating option, although i do not prefer floating keyboards.
I will download that app.

I’ll be honest i never use it . I just remember @noidremained made a post with advice. Whichever one you use you will set as default .

Any way to alphabetize the apps with this launcher? How do i make all the apps either display in round or square mode, short of rolling back to an earlier firmware? How do i delete apps that i sideloaded?
I am having dropouts in my BT connection. What can i
ido to fix this?

If you install " universal launcher " you can arrange the order of apps . All apps installed ( not stock apps ) can be deleted in settings / apps . To change round / square mode press and hold power button and switch from square to round mode . Explain more about BT ?

I recall not keeping the UL on Lem T, but I will try it again. What version should i try and what is the link for the download, please?

we have an excellent working search function. With this you will find this thread within 4 seconds:

-Universal Launcher [Ver. 3.x and above]

You’ll find the newest version at the top of the post. Just scroll down a little bit. I won’t link it…

You should start doing your own research instead of sitting in your rocking chair with a bag of popcorn and waiting for other people to solve your problems. Everyone here is helpful. But some initiative is also required.

I do not own a rocking chair.
I went to that UL link yesterday, but could not see the download link. I did search thisforum, but the apk I downloaded would not install.

The version you need is 3.6. Just follow the link and scroll down. The APK works fine, no problem to install it on a watch.

There are so many that can’t fit on one screen page.

That is why i could find it, it had a name i did not expect. I got stuck and part of recovery was to do a factory reset. Back to where i was before, and will try the UL 3 launcher again.

Can only sideload apps, not download or update them from the play store, even with internet access. AOD AMOLED could not be fully initialized, partially due to the round screen.
I may try the UL launcher. If i have a lot of problems, I may put the watch away for a few months…
While doing this, what is your display timeout set to?

AOD amoled is a terrible app anyway . Serious battery drain .

Sounds like I will not persue using it.
Are there apps I need to exclude from battery saver or optimization?

Those which you need to work all the time in the background, like chat apps which you expect to notify you when there is someone writing to you etc… Which apps depends on what you use :ok_hand:
