Awesome news! - Wear OS General

http://googleblog.blogspot.nl/2015/04/android-wear-wear-what-you-want-get.html
Awesome news! Wifi support, drawing emoji's, et cetera! I'm excited!

I'm curious. Does the moto 360 have a wifi antannae? Also every article I've read gave a different date of release. Some said Friday, others said in next few weeks, while a few said today
I suppose the link you provided is likely the more reliable one. But still I want it now

The Moto 360 will support wifi! Motorola blogged about it somewhere. Just as all the others except for the G watch

Why not the G Watch with the same Snapdragon 400 as the other watches? (except the moto)

I found it in a thread somewhere, that was the only difference. The chip supports it, but the hardware antenna isn't there. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the thread again

They can tell us the phone and watch do not necessarily need to be tethered by bluetooth, they will enable WiFi.
They will allow stand alone apps.
Two questions when ?
Next month or in 6 months ?
And
How will it effect battery life.
No Android Wear Smart Watch I seen, it that great with battery life.

I think only the LG G watch doesnt have Wifi (of all the wear based watches)

I just received a android wear app update which include wifi syncing options and the most awesome change - Polish language!

Can you post pictures of the WiFi settings?? Also, you have the G watch R? I though the LG Urbane was suppose to get it first.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

Here you go:
In English:
''Enable synchronization with cloud to synchronize data from phone and watch through Wifi"
It's only app on phone update. Like google said LG Urbane will get firmware update first.
But keep in mind that Urbane have the same harware as G Watch R so maybe delay will be very short

Now If only we could get support for google voice call notifications and sending sms through a google voice #

I've got great information for polish users of Android Wear - new update will give us a polish language firmware for our watches, at last! Look at the very begining of this video: https://youtu.be/uKlvl6Wrch4

Hi there! My wife bought Versa 2 and paired with Huawei P30 Lite, according to Fitbit phone is supported.
It's working..... until is not. Sometimes seems not to sync. And not sure why.
I changed Fitbit app battery configuration several times, when doing watch is working perfectly, but time after time, watch just doesn't received any notificacion.
- Is there any way watch to advise user sync is not working?
I.e. I have an Amazfit Bip 1st gen and there is an icon for missing bluetooth (it depends of the watchface sure).
- Same from phone side, is there any way for APP to be always alive?
Again, Amazfit App has an option to be always in notificacion zone, to avoid being closed by OS.
Do someone has any app to look out for bluetooth connection? I want to be sure if bluetooth is the problem (maybe no). Other possibility is Huawei battery behavior, maybe close app even if I try not to do it.
To see if it works correctly I look at the weather app and see the update time, if it is more than 1 hours sync stopped and need force close phone app. Of course you need to exclude the Fitbit phone app from battery phone optimization
Nice. Also just "block" Fitbit app to not to be closed. Just slide to do it.
Seems to do the work.

Hi, sorry for late response, but have been extremely busy lately with other things. Problems between Huawei and Fitbit are very well know, supported or not. You can try this fix: Sync Fix for Fitbit and Huawei/Honor phones - Apps op Google Play . Kind regards, kuzibri
Hi,
I have one Versa 2 but i cant pair it with samsung galaxy S7 or S9.
Any ideia how to solve this ?
Tks

12.1.1.0: Android auto not working, turn off chat bubbles

On new update 12.1.1.0: Android Auto is not working. Just a black screen. I tried re-installing the app. Android Auto was previously working for me (but would never launch apps like Spotify and TuneIn radio, had to start on my phone screen)
How to turn off the chat bubbles? I am using Textra SMS app.

I have the same issues with Android Auto. Tried everything I can think of including playing with permissions, Usb debugging and even hard resetting the phone post update to 12.1.1...however nothing works. I hope Xiaomi will push an update otherwise might have to get another phone.
Ah, I started a new thread on another subforum, I should have followed up with this one, do any of you get this strange popup too?

No I'm not getting that popup. First time using AA too it asks if I wanted to use this USB device for AA, I press yes, but still doesn't work.
Decided to sell the 10 Ultra and get a Fold 2 instead. Lesson learned.

Right? I'm probably selling for OnePlus 9 pro. It especially sucks that no native Chinese/Global phones get good 4G or 5G in USA due to no support for band carrier aggregation.

Works for chinese version, not sure about other models but you can try. All that still works. Google services, call recording, disable app through adb, etc. Only issue I discovered is music stutters if you don't switch sound effects to Kirin or another effect. How to = Just change region to china in app gallery, then apply and download beta through my Huawei app (You'll see available devices, just choose yours) then go to settings and software update. It'll now show up for download......
Updated mine yesterday and can notice (too early) an increase in battery life by 10-15%. Also I like the UI much better than Android 11. All google apps are working without any issues. I have the Chinese model.
Got Harmony 2.0.0.165 on my phone waiting for update. Will Gmail and other apps work? How to disable upgrade?

Post this update every product from Google works fine without any issues. If you want to disable the update change the setting to disable overnight install
I'm assuming Ascending ringtone is still not able to be disabled as I have not found it. I hate the feature and wish they would put the option back to turn it off and it rings at full and not this BS as I have missed many calls due to this.

Thanks.
All my Google apps, WhatsApp and text messaging work just fine. Notification has changed - swipe down to see them.
I really think the snappy feel of my mate 20x is lost after harmony os 2.0... the top right corner of the phone is also heating up a bit.. its been around 8 hours since the update. What do you guys think? Will it improve?
Anyway to get harmony os on global mate 20x evr l29

That's good, hopefully more will be getting it soon... Cheers
I went into Wear and checked for updates and it came right up. That was about an hour and a half ago.
Dumb question. My watch is LTE but I'm only connected via Bluetooth for now. This is not for my phone, correct?

One small enhancement that I noticed is that you don't have to navigate to the last page in order to "Close All" running apps. There is a small "Close All" bubble on the initial page.
Rec'd in Australia
Got it in eastern US.
I received it yesterday for my watch 4 classic
Mine didn't notify me until today. Just told it to install. Didn't seem to break anything (but haven't used it yet). It did the typical restart into the loading firmware screen (gears), rebooted, startup stuff/etc. After that, the "Galaxy Wearable" app on the phone asked for an update. So I approved that. Everything still seemed normal.
And then, when I woke the watch up again to play with it, it popped up "Updating Watch" and "copying update". A second update??? Waited for the download. Then it asked about updating now or overnight, I told it go ahead, and it went through the whole thing again??? Reboot, gears, progress indicator, reboot, startup. I have never seen that behavior before.
Maybe your update fail...
Check if you are really on new "numbers"...
*#1234#
Or look into About Watch...
Best Regards
It really must have been two.... looks like I am on an even newer version than what is listed here. Now on R890XXU1GVK7

General US Watch 4 Non-LTE Update R860XXU1GWA3 with New Camera Controller & Security Patch Level January 1, 2023 is out

Pretty useless if you do not own one of these flagship models I'd say...
This update just popped up on mine today and I applied it (it zapped 5% of my fully-charged watch that was still on the charger the whole time!) Then the Wearable app wanted updating on the phone, so I did that as well. Seemed to work OK so far.

Yep. Fewer and fewer people care about "flagship" models. I bought an A52 5G and ended up with a very fast phone, SD card, several capable cameras, real headset jack, OLED screen, and in-screen fingerprint sensor for under $400 (a little more than a year ago). Or I could have spent, what, DOUBLE for a "flagship" with a little better CPU, case, and camera, while losing the headset jack I use all the time? No thanks.
I own the same smartphone A52s and exactly for the same reason.
Did you find a way to use the Camera Control (samsung official app) on our A52s?
I have updated the watch and now the back button doesn't work...
Am I the only one with this issue?
EDIT: ok, after a watch reset and restore it works again...
Finally rolling out for the my R890 in Denmark

I didn't and it sucks. I have to use third-party one (only camera one actually works for me), which lacks in picture quality.
