FIX 2: Re-Pair and Scan via Huawei Health
Some users have recommended that upon reinitiating the pairing process and reconnecting via the Health app did the job for them. So refer to the below steps to give this tweak a try and then check out the results.
FIX 3: Downgrade to November Update
The culprit behind this issue is the latest December update. So you might have to take the nuclear route of downgrading the device to the November update. However, do note this process will wipe off all the data from your device and might nullify its warranty as well. If that’s well and good, then do check out our guide on How to Downgrade Pixel Devices via Android Flash Tool OR How to Downgrade Pixel Devices via Fastboot Commands. NOTE: If you are currently enrolled in QPR Berta build and wish to downgrade via an OITA update, then make sure to get yourself unenrolled from the Beta Testing. Only then will you be able to receive the stable Android update as an OTA.
That’s it. These were the three different methods to fix the issue of the Huawei Watch 3 sync not working with the Pixel 7 Pro. As far as the culprit behind this issue is concerned, fingers are currently being pointed out toward the Harmony OS s it might not be fully compatible with the Android OS. However, there’s nothing concrete as such that could help us cement this statement. As soon as there are any further developments or new workarounds emerge, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned tweaks are your best bet. Rounding off, if you know of any such tweak that worked out in your favor when it comes to fixing the sync issues, then do let us know in the comments section.
UPDATE 1: Other Pixel devices affected as well
Apart from the latest Pixel 7 series, the older Pixel 6,5, and even the 4 series are affected by this bug. This further concretes the fact that the culprit is indeed the December OTA update. And as of now, downgrading seems to be the only way out. However, that might not be the best route for many… Not only because it is technical in nature, but more so because it will reset the device and could void the warranty. And having to deal with these consequences in order to rectify the issue caused by an OEM doesn’t make an iota of sense. Unfortunately, this is how things stand at the moment, and neither Huawei nor Google seems to be taking any step in the right direction as of now.
