Details on pairing & connecting t-watch 2020 and android #4

Open themelispan opened 3 years ago

themelispan commented 3 years ago

Hi, I am very interested to this project, I managed to install both the app and the firmware, but I can't figure out how to pair my phone (Redmi note 9s) with my t-watch 2020 V3. I even searched for devices without names, I found one that just didn't want to pair with my phone. My phone said "pairing" for a few seconds and then "pairing" just disappered, the device never paired with my phone. Is this unnamed device my t-watch? Is there a chance at least? Does the fact that I have used the t-watch as a bluetooth speaker in the past affect anything?

This app does not use pairing to connect bluetooth devices, the BLE connection should automatically be established if the UUIDs in the app and the firmware match. To connect the devices just open the app and power on the device, the app should show connection status at the top when it's connected to the device. Are you using the firmware present in this repo or in my T-watch-2020 repo?

Hello and thanks for responding. I am using the default UUIDs in the code and I didn't touch anything in the app (I only installed the apk). I am using the firmware from the T-Watch-2020-Smartwatch-Port repository

I see, the t-watch-2020 firmware is only compatible with this app up to release 1.2.0. Release 2.0.0 and above overhauled bluetooth communication making it incompatible at the moment. Try installing the app from this release https://github.com/Bellafaire/Android-Companion-App-For-BLE-Devices/releases/tag/1.2.0 it should work then. I haven't updated the twatch port quite yet.
