Android Wear Newbie - some (probably simple) questions



So... just got me a Huawei watch and while I love the look and feel, I have some issues/questions/hopes that i figure you guys will know :)
Just for detail, I'm using my watch with a Xperia Z5

1. Is it possible to hide notifications on watch face so that they only appear on swipe up? Failing that, is it possible to at least hide them on the 'deactivated' watch face, only to show when i 'activate it'?

2. When using voice I quite frequently get offline errors, despite being connected according to the phone and main screen - anything I can do here??
Related to this:
How can I stop the phone waking in my pocket when voice does connect? Leads to things happening in my pocket
3. Google Maps
- Can i get Google maps to default to walking?
- Frequently Google maps doesn't navigate properly at all - sticks on recalculating or just fails
- Can I get Google maps voice directions on watch not on phone?

4. I would like to set notifications on my phone to the watch - i've seen this option - but i still want to get the apps I've blocked notifications on the phone... possible?

5. App questions
- Is it possible to hide apps from the list at all? I tried a few of the other launchers but I keep getting Screen Overlay errors so have had to delete...
- Is there a better Agenda app that shows more than just today? (found Agenda Wear but can hardly read anything on that!)
- There seems to be a built in find my phone, but it doesnt work. Downloaded a separate app and it does does - any ideas?
- I seem to have three fitness apps on my writs... Google Fit vs Daily Tracking vs Fitness Tracking - do i need them all? Is one the core in which others are reliant?
- I seem to get a reboot when removing and often adding an app - is this usual?

6. How can I change contacts shown? Seems to be most recent except I alse get the first phonbook entry alphabetically who I rarely contact for some reason

A lot of questions I know - thanks in advance for any insight!!

Can't launch Spotify or Whatsapp (and probably other apps) [BUILD 14376]



Hey guys! As I mentioned in the title, these apps just won't start at all. Just a brief black screen and then I'm bounced back to start.
All other apps I've tried work fine (VLC, Steam, Facebook, Messenger, etc) but my two most important ones won't.:crying:
I have uninstalled them, restarted my phone, and reinstalled them, but that didn't fix anything.
And since I literally JUST got into this scene, I have no idea if the problem lies with my phone (Lumia 820), my firmware (10.0.14376.0), or in the latest updates to those two apps.:confused:


Any help would be much appreciated.
If the apps work for you, please tell me your configuration so I can start eliminating culprits, and if they don't, please tell me anyway so I can stop pulling my hair out because it's not just me :laugh:
