Original post
Hello and i hope you have a great day, the HypeRate app wont show on the play store for the pixel watch 4. Is there a specific reason for that ?

So im screwed bc mine is out of the box running Wear OS 6 on my Pixel watch 4
Community Member12/6/2025, 12:08:23 AM
yup
Community Member12/15/2025, 7:06:26 AM
Heya! I just tried to send you a dm though it looks like you'll have to add me first. Just had a question regarding your friend's installed app on their watch. I'd love to know if they'd be happy to extract the APK from their watch, it's a pretty easy process and it would solve everyone's issues because then everyone can just sideload it no matter what version they're on! Cheers and speak soon!
Community Member12/17/2025, 6:35:24 PM
hey sorry for the late response i was a bit busy but yeah let me send a message
Community Member12/27/2025, 4:04:13 PM
Yea if i could also get the File please, to sideload it on mine would be nice.
Community Member12/27/2025, 5:49:50 PM
Got it let me take a sec
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:44:10 AM
Thanks dude. I actually did manage to get my hands on the older one but I'd love to get my hands on the newer one too
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:46:31 AM
Lo and behold the one I managed to sideload works flawlessly. I see no reason why it doesn't come up for 95% of wearOS watches on the store but there is zero incompatibility.
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:48:29 AM
Its exactly the topic we are facing atm, as soon as we put it on the Store it cant be downloaded at all or only sometimes. We will focus on the WearOS App starting next year, it's one of our top prios for the next 2 weeks to get this finally working for *hopefully all wearOS Devices 😉
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:56:56 AM
Would it be worth also hosting on f-droid, aptoide, apkpure, apkmirror etc? I had to traverse an intense labyrinth of dodgy apk sites until I found a legit one. I almost felt like it was being intentionally hidden 😅
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:57:30 AM
And even that was difficult af as you essentially need a wearOS spoofer to download wearOS store apps when scraping
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:58:25 AM
I tried the android studio route and everything lol.
Community Member12/29/2025, 7:59:54 AM
Good idea maybe this will help to get them ALL 😉
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:04:32 AM
I didn't wanna hand out the apk I got in case I was going against something I shouldn't. But if you're happy in the meantime, I'd be glad to pm some of the guys mentioning they can't get on and share the one I have. I have the older one though.
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:04:41 AM
Unless you're happy to share around the newer one
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:06:12 AM
You can share the APK if you want . it's still not our official APP but worked flawlessly the last few years.
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:06:36 AM
There no difference in function though right?
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:07:32 AM
not really - the only big difference is that the display is dimming automatically and we are avoiding the App more strict to not go in the background modus.
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:07:59 AM
Oh dude I need the screen dim, it eats my watch battery 😅
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:10:36 AM
In that case <@375325883780562956> we'll need to figure out which one you can get you're hands on. There are two. One is listed in the store at "HypeRate for Wear OS", this is the older one. The newer one is listed as "HypeRate Watch"
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:12:20 AM
If the apk you rip from the watch is called something like de.locxserv.hyperatewearos or with the version 1.5, that is the older one
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:12:44 AM
Let me know when you can and we'll start sharing the better of the two
Community Member12/29/2025, 12:33:28 PM
<@280981082160234521> <@145710918171361281> Hey guys. I'm the friend with the Pixel Watch 3 and the apks, <@375325883780562956> came to my home and I sideloaded him my apks into his Pixel Watch 4, and it just worked. Here are the files, and just sideload it with `adb install-multiple` (and then drag and drop each apk individually, and adding a space between each apk).
Community Member12/29/2025, 12:35:10 PM
Pinging you <@186881714381914112> too
Community Member12/29/2025, 4:42:08 PM
thx i only installed the Base.apk and it worked. with the Help off [This tool](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freepoc.wearinstaller2)
Community Member12/29/2025, 4:48:30 PM
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:16:26 PM
Cool tool. I just sent it to my watch with AnExplorer (file browser for wear os) and installed directly there
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:16:41 PM
Can you confirm if this is the newer or older app version?
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:29:05 PM
it's V1.5
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:40:24 PM
I see. There's a difference in file size for some reason but this is the one that I have
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:42:32 PM
well it works thats the most relevant thing now we just have to wait that the Store App getting a update to support WearOS 6 since it works.
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:44:24 PM
From tinkering with android studio trying to get this downloaded, I don't think it's just as simple as flipping a switch for wear os 6. It wouldn't show up for any previous wear os version I emulated. What shows up on the store seems to also be linked to what sensors the device (watch) has and that somehow seems borked also with this app listing.
Community Member12/29/2025, 8:45:29 PM
Regardless if anyone has the newer app with the screen dimming feature, that would be a massive help

Community Member1/7/2026, 3:26:28 PM
very sad
Community Member1/7/2026, 3:26:50 PM
Oh not really. This thing is *old* Would certainly be funny to pull of but that's not my jurisdiction of knowledge
Community Member1/7/2026, 3:26:59 PM
Likely rewrite territory
Community Member1/7/2026, 3:27:38 PM
Tizen os is not android that's why
Community Member1/7/2026, 3:27:47 PM
Indeed
Community Member1/7/2026, 3:28:11 PM
