[Q] Android Wear Offline Use - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting an LG G Watch (btw, that's a seriously terrible name, its not too google-able) in a few days. Unfortunately my first major use for this watch will be whilst travelling out of country. So, here is my question:
What can Android Wear do offline? It will always be connected to my phone, but my phone will *Not* be connected to the internet most of the time. What about voice recognition? I know on my phone no matter what i do, offline I can only get it to accept the "call..." intent not even stuff like "open app" which doesn't need internet anyway.

[Q] Android 3G

Ive been tossing the idea around on whether or not its something to pursue. In my mind it seems somewhat feasible. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (which from what I can tell is basically a Samsung Galaxy S without a data plan through a carrier) and it is rooted. There are even start-up processes and services for the dial pad and phone (even though its only supposed to me a glorified MP3 player). So with that being said here is my idea...
The original Amazon Kindles came with free 3g connectivity right out of the box (no service plan). I am thinking maybe there would be a way to set up the Galaxy to connect to the Kindles free 3g internet. Maybe mock a Kindle ID to the Galaxy. Even if you did something along the lines of running a Kindle ROM in a VirtualBox type app on the Galaxy for server authentication.
What do you guys think????
I am new to the Android world but not new to computers or hacking (by hacking I dont mean black hat. I mean modifying things to suit your needs ie. rooting).
The Galaxy Players don't actually have a cellular baseband. The package's position on the board isn't populated. Thus, it's completely impossible for the Galaxy Player to connect to a cellular network.
The reason the phone and dialer bits are still present is they are core to Android and can't be removed easily.
ok what about tethering the kidles 3g to wifi???
The Kindle's 3G is only usable to download books. The connection is very restricted, and you really can't do anything with it. Obviously, if the operator detects excessive traffic on an account only intended to download eBooks, your access would be killed pretty fast.

[Q] Upgrade Assistant Autoplay

In searching the forums, I see that some actually need the upgrade assistant. I myself find it tedious. That is, I find the fact that whenever I connect my Note 3 to my PC, Autoplay for the Verizon upgrade assistant appears 1st (and rather slowly at that...), then (finally) the phone autoplay.
What is the purpose of the VUA? If it might be helpful one day, I don't want to eliminate it, but I'd like to prevent autoplay from opening to VUA rather than the phone.
Android 4.3, rooted.
No one knows how to get rid of the verizon UA autoplay?

[Q] Is it possible to use the S5 as a SIP phone over wire (non-wifi,non-mobile)?

I'm strongly opposed to wi-fi and mobile radiation.
However I bought this S5 for taking photos primarily (16MP cam and all) and to test my websites on real smartphones.
So my ISDN phone is about the break and I thought "hey I bought this expensive piece of crap which can't do reverse tethering without rooting it, why not use it as a SIP phone instead of this phone that is about to break and save some money?"
Well I have found that with some Galaxy Pro tabs you're able to buy a USB<->RJ45 adapter, plug it in and use it as a SIP phone client, video calls and all.
Apparently you can't do this with the S5. At least not officially.
Right now my options are: sell it or trip knox and install a custom system. I'm trying to sell it right now but in case it won't get sold I'm stuck with it. (I have found no app that does reverse tethering properly, I have to set it up manually every time and even then some apps won't recognize a connection since neither 3G or wifi is enabled)
So my question is, do any of the current images floating around support a USB<->RJ45 adapter and does reverse tethering work out of the box on one of these images and do they also have a configurable SIP client?

Lemfo Lem5 Pro Smartwatch - brand new with issues

Hello. I'm new to the group. Like so many others I was looking for a cost effective smartwatch that was not as expensive as Samsung or Apple. The Lemfo Lem5 Pro got very good reviews so I ordered. I use iPhone 7+. According to the company and the seller (Gearbest) this watch works with iPhone.
It arrived today and I find it not very functional at all. Not like in the few review videos I've seen. It won't show me the IOS option in the phone's bluetooth section under available devices although it shows up on my phone and says connected. WiFi also shows connected but I can't seem to do anything online. I can't even get the weather to show up. When I click on the plus side to add more watch faces it simply shows a spinning wheel and does not want to show me the supposed 50+ watch faces available for download. It shows me 4 faces.
I Have tried doing a hard reset of the phone and it still seems to not want to function.
Does anyone have any experience with the Lemfo Chinese smartwatches that can offer some help on why this device might not want to connect to anything? My wifi is very strong and shows connected. The watch shows that it is connected to the iPhone but the LEM5 IOS option does not appear anywhere in my settings so I am at a loss to understand why it isn't doing what it should. The instructions are sadly very minimal and a less than great translation from chinese.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer. The watch looks great just doesn't seem to want to do anything.
Just got the LEM5 Pro.
After watching a few videos, i've realised that this more of a Smart Phone in the shape of a watch. So the functionality even with an android phone is very limited.
It can connect to an android phone after u download software, but even then... you cant make calls unless you insert a sim into the "watch".
Filed under "money wasted".
Dear sir,which app I have to download for connecting my Lemfo Lem5pro.I am unable to do any thing with this Watch.Kindly advise me which app I have to download to activate with my phone.
Kindly advise me.
Thanking you.
Where did you got the LEM5 Pro? I am going to order one from coolicool, it is less than 120 bucks now.
same problem
i had the same issue at the beginning i thought it was due to the lemfo server being busy or webpage being hallt for few weeks.
it worked after few days. i have problem in connecting to different android app for watch. i cant even connect to lemfo band app. it only works on lemfo watch app which is pretty useless. if you find any solution to connect bluetooth directly to phone then please share with me. i want control my watch with my phone such as tracking health and other uses of the app. thanks
What about Android phones it has the same issue
Connection
The only way my Galaxy 8 plus will connect to my watch is if I use Bluetooth Tethering. Search for Bluetooth Tethering in the settings of your phone, turn it on, and select the watch from that screen, it'll connect.
The problem I'm having is it won't send texts.
I have a lemfo lem5 pro wich have the same issues,the software seems to have a bad optimization ,to make weather work i insterted a sim ,gps without sim for me is not working , the wireless is working but i don't see a browser ,the 50 faces are showing up but it's takes a lot to load them and sometimes stops loading after a few.
I know the Lem X is a GSM device compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile, but I saw that if on the CDMA platform / Verizon, you should still be able to get call
ALERTS and text ALERTS. I know you can't answer calls on the watch, nor can you respond to texts, but I can get call alerts, but I just cannot get text alerts. Any idea how to make it alert me to texts?

Sending / Receiving phone calls from a Wear OS device

Now that Verizon has discontinued integrated calling support for Wear24, I am not able to send/receive phone calls directly on my watch anymore. I used to be able to send/receive phone calls using my Phones number via their "integrated calling" platform. Was a pretty decent concept for people who didn't want an iPhone/Apple Watch combination.
I have a Wear24 with Wear 2.0, but I think that's besides the point. Generally speaking, are there any options out there that will allow you to send/receive phone calls from a WearOS device using your phones number? Is it simple, and I'm missing the big picture?
It would be nuts how Google hasn't done some type of integration themselves. Even a Pixel device with a WearOS combination seems like a mild effort.
Even if I don't hook up a WearOS smart watch to cellular. Even if I'm connected to Bluetooth or something, there's still no solution to make and receive phone calls on the watch?
With an iPhone / Apple Watch, everything seems to integrate so seamlessly making and receiving calls on a watch. and cellular's not even needed!
Thoughts? Ideas?
