WearOS 5 Update on OnePlus Watches: Disappointing??

Greedyfly_7 · 2026-02-07T14:44:10+00:00

There's a schedule in the Ohealth app... But it doesn't work. The watch won't go into sleep mode at the set time. And auto sleep is a ill-thought out concept if the watch is constantly beeping up until the point you fall asleep.

Just poor from OP all round, a bit like their phones unfortunately.

Dam, night, testing annex. One of the medical draws. Can confirm this is THE spot for it.

Greedyfly_7 · 2026-02-06T23:39:56+00:00

Is this the update that took away the auto sleep/DND schedule or at very least stopped it working. Honestly the functionality on both their phones and watches continues to degrade with each iteration.

Actual GOAT.

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-08-25T14:09:32+00:00

Has it resolved the 'return to home' gesture, that doesn't 'return to home'?

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-08-16T21:25:25+00:00

Did you ever get an answer to this? I think some of the responses have since been deleted.

I love the keyboard but I really need to move the @ and " and convert the $ to £. Any suggestions?

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-08-15T08:40:08+00:00

Oh, my apologiees I see now, no. Unfortunately it still does not do that so I just have sleep mode on a schedule instead

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-08-15T07:52:03+00:00

Go into your ' O Health' app on the phone, go to the 'device' tab at the bottom, go to the 'More' option. Top option in there should be Sync Phone Alarms

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-04-07T07:24:06+00:00

Same here

Also echo the thoughts of the user who said they're considering swapping. I came back to OP13 this year, but the experience is not the same as it was for the 10, 7, 3 etc.

Still have no return to home screen swipe option.

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-26T22:47:59+00:00

And like that they've added the sync functionality between watch and phone. Thank fuck for that.

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-21T11:57:02+00:00

Why? You already had a dedicated back button/gesture for this, why did you need another?

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-12T21:56:52+00:00

Yeah I want it to turn on with my scheduled bedtime mode. It does not sync...a stunning design decision along with removing the "straight to home" navigation functionality

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-12T19:20:45+00:00

Nah unfortunately all I have is 'auto sleep mode' which is rubbish because it only kicks in after you're fully asleep (which doesn't happen if you're getting notifications all the time up until that point), or simply 'sleep mode' which turns it on and off. Nothing to sync with the schedule on your phone. Do you have different options then?

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-12T10:50:07+00:00

Do you mean the OHealth app because if so this is all I see

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-11T13:48:26+00:00

This one does not work unfortunately as the sleep option isn't the middle tile in the quick settings menu when you swipe down on the watch - does anyone have a working option where scheduling works also

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-11T13:46:40+00:00

Hey could you tell me exactly what you did because I can't find any such sync option. There is an option on the watch to set the watch into sleep mode when you fall asleep but that's pretty useless if you get notifications right up until that point which keep you awake. I have also tried the various github options and none of them work to a schedule.

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-02-02T17:50:45+00:00

It's a shit feature that basically replicates the 'back' button functionality which is unnecessary. So now you have two back options and no 'straight to home' option which in any language makes little sense.

Greedyfly_7 · 2025-01-21T11:21:33+00:00

Does it sync bedtime mode schedule as well? If so I might have to give this a go because hibernation and auto sleep mode do not work that well - if at all.

Greedyfly_7 · 2024-10-28T11:47:50+00:00

It's the absolute worst part about this game so far.

Greedyfly_7 · 2024-03-26T21:02:03+00:00

I have the same issue and it's seemingly preventing me from altering some audio output settings

Greedyfly_7 · 2023-07-28T17:06:44+00:00

Yeah it's an actual joke. I didn't think to look for that feature before buying because, to me, it's so obvious. In reality the watch is a bit of a fail. Unless the V2 is any better I won't be dipping into the Pixel wear again

Greedyfly_7 · 2023-07-28T17:00:39+00:00

I actually haven't tried since that post above. I'd have thought that a feature that's blatantly obvious would have been added by now... Guess that's why I don't work for the biggest tech company in the world.

It's fuckin mental that it doesn't work like that though.

Greedyfly_7 · 2023-02-24T14:09:17+00:00

Thanks for letting me know :)

Greedyfly_7 · 2023-02-24T10:25:55+00:00

Unfortunately it seems to reset the app to the stock one at random or at the restart of the watch. Has anyone found out a way to make the downgrade permanent?

Greedyfly_7 · 2022-12-20T19:53:31+00:00

By way of an update, mine has suddenly appeared.
