Android 5.0.2 update rolling out for Wear devices - Wear OS General

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...2-update-starts-rolling-google-fit-fixes-tow/

Got it on my Zenwatch earlier today. Nothing noticeable yet but hoping to see improvements from bug fixes.

Don't know how long I've had it on my G Watch -- checked just now after reading this post and I'm already on 5.0.2 (LWX49K).

Seems the new update has improved battery life, for the first time ever since December , I haven't need to charge my Moto 360 for 2 days.

Cool share!

moto G 2015 vs 2014

Hi guys, I'm gonna buying a new phone and after weeks of web-surfing I'm very likely to buy the new moto G.
Last year I had a moto G 2014, but I sold it after 2 months because (at least for me) it had an terrible memory management that made the phone unusable. In particular, whenever I went back to the home I got a home-reloading, and whenever an app was left in background it was killed (so it wasn't possible to listen to music while browsing).
I would like to know if the the moto G 2015 still has this problem or if it has been solved. Maybe is there any ex-2014 moto G user that can provide a comparison between the two models?
For me smoothness and good memory management are the only things I bother in a phone, so I'm very interested in this. At the beginning I was thinking of buying the moto X Play, but after reading it is very laggy I moved to this phone.
Thank you all guy for the support.
I have the Peregrine (4G), Titan (2014), and Osprey (2015). All 1gb ram phones. They all perform equally to me. The memory issues weren't with the phone itself, but when Lollipop first came out. This has been fixed with all phones now. The only reason I got the latest, was for the better camera.
I know many people attribute the memory leak to Lollipop, but I had the same behaviour with KitKat on my 2014 Moto G. Moreover, I've never seen a Nexus phone having the same issue with Lollipop (I mean, the same big issues).

Yea, the Nexus had the same Lollipop issues as the G 2014 but because of a better battery it wasn't as noticeable. I never had a problem on my G2014 with kit Kat and only started having battery problems with Lollipop. The G2015 has a much better battery than the 2014. I seldom made it through the day with the 2nd Gen but with the G3, I usually have at least 30% when I go to bed. I see a significant improvement in battery life with the new phone.

Wife's S6 Received "M" Update Last Week. No issue Until Two Days Ago.

Hello,
My wife's S6 just received Marshmallow last week. We're on Straight Talk service on AT&T's network and everything was working fine up until Wednesday night. First, her phone went from 45% to dead in the span of an hour. Then the next day she had issues with her mobile data where she had no connection. We deleted/reloaded APN settings but that didn't fix it. I have the same service on my Nexus 6p and the same settings and mine works like a champ.
I did notice that her Android OS was consuming 45% of her battery and without any idea how to fix it I went ahead and performed a factory reset, twice. She still has excessive battery drain (70%-40% in 5 minutes), she no longer has mobile data, and her cellular/texts work sporadically; however Android OS is now under control. She now has cellular standby eating up 30% of her battery and app optimization was at 28% (This could have been due to reinstalling all her apps). I would like to say it's a hardware issue but seeing as how multiple people are having some of the same issues I think it's an actual problem with her update.
Is there any way to fix this without going back to Lollipop? If that is my only option where is the best place to find a legit version?
Here are her phone's specs:
Model: SM-G920T
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level: May 1, 2016
Baseband version: G920TUEU3DPD6
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-7610624

Look, I'm going to tell you this straight.
Marshmallow has had a lot of problems.
Just scrolling through a few threads reveal most of peoples problems come from after updating to M. My S6 is completely untouched, in fact, the battery life is better.
Google released M way too early without testing it with their lab devices enough. Too many bugs, too many things missing. My best guess is uninstall any apps your wife got recently and if that doesn't work, carry a cheap power bank until Google releases an update.
I was able to downgrade to 5.1.1 and it solved her battery issue, but not her mobile data. I called Samsung and we're going to get it serviced to see if they can fix whatever is wrong. What I find funny/frustrating is that any time a new version of Android is released (and lately apple too) there are always tons of problems with battery life and other issues. You figure they'd get it right one of these days.
I upgraded to M just over 2 weeks ago & my battery life/phone experience is excellent. I was also reluctant to update, but no regrets at all in hindsight. My advise: Watch out for OTA updates - rather download new firmware & use Odin to flash.
Head on over to good ol' Sammobile and download the latest firmware for your carrier and then follow the instructions to flash. Perhaps that might help.
Just wanted to provide an update. We just got the phone back from Samsung. They ended up replacing the motherboard and that fixed the issue with no mobile data. Also, the new motherboard may have fixed the battery drain issue. It's a little too early to tell but battery drain appears normal for now.

Should I update to EMUI 5?

Hello there!
So from today (After much waiting and checking the updater app) I can update to EMUI 5 (B360)!
But I'm a little bit unsure if I should update because many people have reported issues with it, will just factory reseting the phone after updating to EMUI 5 fix the problems or should I stay on Marshmallow until full Nougat comes out?

This is the only Nougat your going to get
And sure a factory reset is always good after a major OS update

If you care about battery life you shouldn't upgrade imo

I can confirm my battery life took a dive. I am now *charging* my phone when I drive home from work. I didn't need to do this before with MM. Sadly Huawei screwed up the battery life and no solution in sight.
Here are some likes and dislikes on it. I do suggest you read before you update. Once updated, rollback would require you to reset.

I personally can´t recommend it. Battery for me isn´t bad but I´m having a ridiculous amount of graphical glitches, bugs with notifications and sometimes apps like camera, can´t be opened on the lockscreen cause some lockscreen elements overlay and won´t allow interaction with the camera app until I restarted my phone.
Seems like people having all kinds of different issues, that others don´t have.
Really weird.
I have been running EMUI 5 since the UK beta ( about 3 months)
I have only ever put official OTA updates on my phone.
I'm having none of the issues with my phone.
No glitches, no lags no problems.
My battery life is excellent it lasts from 8am through to 7am the following morning and normally has about 30℅ left when I charge it each morning between 7-8am
I use my phone heavily all day and watch TV on it in bed every night for at least 2 hours
I'm very pleased with my honor 8

Battery is a tiny bit worse, but it fixed the NFC issues, so definitely worth upgrading (no more red lights 1/3 of the time rendering it useless on Transport for London services, and it can read a passport now, and an HK Octopus card consistently...).
A factory reset was needed after upgrading to fix some weird behaviour.

Updated, and well the battery is draining faster than usual but it drains about the same speed that it drained when I first got the phone.... But I believe that the battery will be back to normal in a couple of days.

I have updated and I must say, I really love the new features and that they fixed some of the bugs
Only glitch I've found is with the gyroscope. Only had the phone a day so not sure what it was like before the update, but this video suggests it only happened after updating;

Whether anyone else has had this problem?

Moto G6 finally gets Pie update

After waiting forever for the Pie update, it finally came in for me...
The G6 is no longer my main phone (switched to a Pixel 3a), but after using it for a bit more than a day at home, it seems just as fast as oreo.
Im not sure if they fixed all the issues that others were experiencing, but I'm not getting any of them so far.
The phone is running build# PPS29.118-11-1 and is on the May 1st security patch (which dissapoints me considering my pixel is on august patch).
I will continue to test and see how it holds up. If I'm not satified, I might switch to a custom rom.

Question Terrible battery drain then not syncing with phone related to Android 13?

Over about the last week my Watch4 Classic (SM-R890) went from lasting about 2 1/2 days on a charge to well less than a day. I could not figure out what was going on. I ended up resetting my watch and uninstalling/reinstalling all software on phone. After this I could not setup/sync watch to phone. I did everything I saw on-line to resolve this issue. No luck. My watch is unusable. I saw some reports on-line that there are issues with Watch4 and Android 13. It then occurred to me that I started having the battery issues about the time I updated my phone ( Pixel 6 Pro) to Android 13. Is anyone else here having battery/sync issues since updating to Android 13?
So I was able to setup watch finally. Surprisingly I was able to setup watch correctly when I disabled wifi on my phone. I have no idea on why this worked. After resetting my watch and uninstalling/reinstalling all software on phone I sill have battery issues. Definitely well less than a day. Last night as I slept I lost about 50% battery and I had bedtime mode on. Two weeks ago I would lose 5 - 8% overnight with bedtime mode. Other people are having this issue:

I'm not running Samsung health on phone. This is apparently probably not a watch software or watch hardware issue. This is being reported with multiple wearos devices across manufacturers (Like TWP3). It appears to be related to Android 13.
Is there anyone here that has Android 13 on their phone who is not having battery issues?
Not that anyone cares based based on replies but apparently the Sept. Android 13 update addresses Bluetooth issues.
https://9to5google.com/2022/09/06/android-13-pixel-september-update/
I'm in US on Verizon. Apparently Verizon updated yesterday (9/12) the Pixel 6 Pro (TP1A.220905.004.A1). I keep checking for update, not yet. It is definitely Bluetooth issue with Android 13. I turned off Bluetooth on my phone and battery on watch is same as before Android 13 update. Hoping update fixes....
Sorry bro for no replies, it's just that we don't have Android 13 yet.
I am on the Android 13 beta on my Samsung S22 Ultra with the Watch 4 Classic. The watch has the latest load on it since I was on the watch beta. I have had no issues with my watch not lasting at least a full day. I have seen no difference from Android 12 to Android 13.
I received the Android 13 Sept. update (TP1A.220905.004.A1) and sadly this does not fix the issue. Such a bummer. You would think that Google would get this fixed. Given this is an issue with other wearos watches I wonder if this will impact the Pixel Watch...
Fixed issue. After trying many things ultimately it ended up the issue was related to updating from Android 12 to 13 instead of clean update. When I factory reset my phone the watch's battery life is back to normal. It was not Google Assistant or Samsung Health.
Android 12 battery & watch syncing has been working good for me. I have not tried 13 yet....
GW4C and A13, no issues at all..
Sorry people weren't replying and showing you love princess.
