Can't Delete a WFS Downloaded Face from Wearables

Watch Face Studio
1

Hello,
I created a wfs watch face and mistakenly messed up the naming conventions within the File > Project > Settings. I left off the ID_LABEL part of the name in File > Project > Settings on General tab under Project > App Label. So what I had in that field was the name of the project but NOT preceded by ID_LABEL_. I downloaded it to my watch, then realized my mistake. However, now in the Wearables app on my phone, it will not allow me to delete the watch face from Watch faces > Downloaded. It just spins forever until I close the Wearables app, but is still there when I open it next time.

It may have been a mistake, but I duplicated the project in wfs, deleted the original project (in wfs) then updated the Project settings to correct the mistake and also downloaded that to my watch. So, in wfs, I have only one (the correct) file with that name, but in the Wearables app on my phone, I have two files with that name - the wrong one and the right one. The right one works fine.

Any suggestions for deleting the wrong one?

Thank you!

See here I have 3 the same on Galaxy Wearable . I made small changes . To sort that out I will delete the lot and Load the final one again . So you could try that . There is two button reboot but I don’t think it solves that one . There is also Clear the Cache but you have to be careful obviously . If you follow my Instructions carefully it works out OK .

Thanks, Russellcresser. I actually wipe the cache on my watch after every update, and I just did it again. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. After that, I tried deleting the “good” version first, then the bad version from the Wearables app, but the same thing happened. The good version deleted properly, then when I clicked the x to delete the bad version, it hung up the Wearables app with continual spinning and wouldn’t allow me to do anything except close the app. When I returned, it was not deleted. Booo!

Nothing left then but to Reset your watch and possibly WFS . Sorry to be the bringer of bad news . Someone on FB said that was the solution to a problem .

You can uninstall any app/watch face using adb.

1 - Enable on your watch the Wireless debugging (WiFi On, Developers options > Wireless debugging > Toggle on)

2 - On your computer open the terminal (if is windows “cmd”, linux “terminal”, mac i don’t know the name)

3 - Connect the watch to the pc:

adb connect [ip + port]

Example: adb connect 192.168.1.2:12345

4 - Once connected, uninstall the watch face:

adb uninstall [watch face package]

Example: adb uninstall com.watchfacestudio.blah

In case the computer is not paired:

1 - Enable the Wireless debugging on the watch;

2 - On watch, click on “Pair new device”;

3 - On terminal, run:

adb pair [parring ip + port]

Example: adb pair 192.168.1.3:12345

4 - Type the password

Example: 98765

5 - If the watch paired and already connected, do the step 4 from the previous instructions, if it did paired but didn’t connected automatically, start from step 3 from previous instructions.

(WFS uses adb to connect pair and install, I don’t know if it installs the adb program globally on your computer. In case it doesn’t your terminal will show a message saying the adb command was not found, in this case, to simplify for you, install android studio, it has a terminal with adb installed, you can run the commands from there if you need)
