I followed the main post:
enable developer mode,
grant the missing permission via ADB, but it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Its hard to know as it does work if followed correctly. I have used this many times over with no issues
It might be necessary to fully set up watchdroid first and send a test message. Then, grant the missing permission as described.
I imagine this order is required, but I’m not sure.
also related to the lack of permits.
Exception occurred while executing ‘grant’:
java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistant has not requested permission android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
YES, my watch came with Chinese firmware (I chose English).
After connecting to my phone( GAOFit), everything switched to Russian.
watchdroid it works, but when a message arrives, it doesn't alert you. You have to go into the app itself to view the message.
Ok, please check if there’s an OTA update available. I think so. If I’m right, update your watch and perform a factory reset.
I tried it, I have the latest version
Uninstall Geofit. Its terrible. Factory reset and start again with watchdroid. Then send adb command
I agree with the doctor. Gaofit could have caused the problem. Watchdroid usually cannot be used if Gaofit has been set up beforehand.
Therefore, I would also recommend a factory reset.
I tried that, same result.
Is it possible to update the firmware to the global version?
How can I do that? Where can I get it?
Thanks in advance for any information.
Have you got the four pin charging cable, or is it two pin?
Can’t flash with the two pin cable.
Yes, I have a 4-pin cable.
Ok thanks.
Can you let me know the full details of the firmware that you have on the watch please?
It’s very important that you let me know the full name of the version you are using ![]()
my version 13_C29_CH_V1.6_20250919
my version S13_C29_CH_V1.6_20250919
I have V1.5. Maybe it’s not possible to use watchdroid on V1.6.
Can I upgrade to version 1.5?
Well, it’s a downgrade. I’m not sure it will work.
Ok, I have the english Version.
I'm ready to try it. How do I do this?
Where can I download the firmware?
