power draw is not very ideal, the 8541 is 28nm and it is very compareable to newer mtk power draw
gemini app i very buggy, use browsr home screen shortcut(if your launcher support but UL doesnt)

A generic question, has anyone seen or know of a Android watch, that has a camera and runs Android Auto well enough to run/connect to a cars wireless android auto system?
no, for battery all useless app is removed, and a watch is nevr gonna used for android auto

Thatās too bad, it would be a way to get rid of a carrying a phone, since these watches already do the basics. With the push for glasses to replaces phones now, I think it makes more universal sense to do it on a watch then make everyone wear glasses.
I use Gemini on two old smartwaches on Android 10 and 11 : no bugs..
i use Android Auto with my watch with success since more than 3 yearsā¦
i dont know why not just install full android stereo system
it cant even be used correctly on my phone android 14, only LLM works correctly is deepseek believe it or not everything else fails
I use it on my watch to place a call or send sms and control my items on Google home, very practical with the watches who have a little screen..
@christ - just to clarify, your watch is pushing the android auto display to a headunit, without a phone in the loop? Which watch is this?
@AILIFE - I have sideloaded AndroidAuto from v3 to v11 but none of them will connect to this watch. I suspect it might be the bluetooth profiles, so that once bluetooth is bonded, the headunit asks what profiles it supports and then fails not finding what it needs (this is just a guess). On the watch side, it looks like it considers the headset a āheadphone with micā setup only.
The watch is an old Lemfo Lem 16.
use home assistant which works way better

Am I doing something wrong (or can this be done better/permanently). Every once in a while, when I hit Google Assistant it wants to setup again and shows the below picture. I then set these 2 adb commands and it works āfor a whileā but eventually goes back to none?
adb shell settings put secure voice_interaction_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
adb shell settings put secure assistant com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
2 second is allotā¦ with local can do less then 100msā¦ but we are getting off topic, the home assistant app works well on the watch

Do you keep Google Assistant enable if you restart the watch ?
2 seconds when iām not at home, immediately when iām at homeā¦ But yes of topic, so stop speaking about that. Cheers.
