I have the update but can't remember actually the watch actually doing the update? Does it update when the wear app updates?

yeah its still the old version and the worse part is that in play store its also the same old version
I was really deciding to sell this and buy a gear s3 frontier untill I saw this new ball black update...
(man, only if that circle bezzle could rotate...)
also please tell me what version is the android wear app on phone?! because I heard it would be 2.7 on phone nd 2.8 on watch

I have version 2.8 on phone and watch. Maybe don't worry about what version you have... It will update real soon if your not on the latest update, there is nothing wrong with your watch mate
Go to Playstore ON Watch. You will find an update for "Android Wear", and it update the watch to 2.8

As i said before, there is no updtae available, maybe its regional and will be available later
Same situation here. We'll have to be patient as you said...
No update yet in Sydney Australia :crying:
Just to let you know guys... This isn't the Oreo update. This is just a minor update that just seems to take advantage of amoled screens. After the update my watch is still running 7.1.1
so i am in Germany, and still not received the 2.8 update.
i searched for it in Play Store .. nothing (watch & phone).
I have searched for it on "apkmirror" found it, installed it on the phone.
so far so good....but the Watch wont update to the 2.8 Version...I don't understand.
i will have to wait

Yeah, it's somehow annoying, considering all the hype and still Google rolls it out fast as a giant snail, I mean I understand that not everyone can receive it the same time but it was announced 5 days ago and there're still not to much wearables around, one might think that Google easily provides this update in a short period of time...
TL;DR
Yup, no AW 2.8 update in Germany
- store shows only AW 2.7
Edit:
For everyone who still hasn't got the AW 2.8 update (like me in Germany) just download the apk for the watch from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...id-wear-2-8-0-182596874-android-apk-download/
And use "adb install -r" this will update the app without losing your settings worked just fine - the apk for the phone can be found here...
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-182413461-gms-android-apk-download/download/
Finally, just received 2.8. It automatically downloaded on to my HW2 without me even noticing. Sydney Australia has now caught up with the rest of the world :laugh:
I can confirm that Android Wear 2.8.0.183 came up on my phone and watch today, Just downloaded and the black theme is great!
Im in Iran
Got the update today. I live in Sweden. I really like this new look
UK have update.

Hey everyone,
I am very excited about possibilities the Gear S will have. But I already have a gear 2 neo so my question is, do we get a nice Tizen update soon ?? Anyone found any information ?
My Gear Manager is updating now, and its either a pretty huge update or it's bugged because it's froze on "Installing 2/2" and has been on that screen for over an hour

Yeah Gear Manager is one thing, I am speaking about Tizen, on the watch here.
BTW, everyone should see this if not done!

Nope nothing heart yet. But check the tizenexperts.com site. It will post any rumors or news about tizen pretty quick.
Yesterday, Google confirmed new OS to our Android Wear watches.
Changelog (source: https://plus.google.com/+HoiLam/posts/eMzmoxztkpw )
Improvements include:
?Notification vibration strength setting
?Touch lock option for wet conditions
?Support for 7 new countries / languages
?Plus more e.g. notification channels, battery saving background limits
I'm curious, when the new Android will come to our watches.
It turns out that the update is not sure... Damn, Google! https://support.google.com/androidwear/thread/25693?hl=en
It's there, you need to click "more".

the watch is a 2017 model and is an almost high end watch so we dont need to be worried much...
Rumor that that watch will not receive Oreo. That's sad. It was just released last summer I believe.
i hope they change swipe left (or right) to something else, doesnt make sense to assigned 2 swipes - left and right - for 1 same function (change face)

Without 4g
I also received it, but I'm running Janjan's ROM and it booted into recovery. I've since flashed back to stock, and I'm trying the update now....

Hi, I have the BT classic version and live in the UK but no update yet, which watch do you have?
IT 4g/lte no update for now...
Is anyone else having any issue while downloading the OTA? If I go to system updates it keeps saying "downloading ...". Looks like it starts downloading but the no progress at all.
Any clue?
Hi, bought a gear s3 a few days ago and will recieve soon, after looking for a bit on the forums i had to ask if i should update to the latest tizen os version when i recieve it, but sounds like the battery issues are a big problem and i dont want to mess up my new watch, so is it worth it to update or just skip and wait for a new version to roll out in the near future? Thanks
Wait for a real fix

Hmmm nice battery life... Remotely connected is when your out of bluetooth range and your gear connects to wifi. Youd still be able to recieve messages. Handy if your charging your phone, when your in the gym and have to leave your phone in the locker and connected to the wifi, etc....
Will move again to version 2.3 coz its not working for me using 2cqk3 and 2cql1.
Will just wait for samsung to fix it in their next update

Ah i see, sadly i still dont have wifi at home 4 months after hurricane maria wrecked puerto rico, heck not many places have wifi yet
Looks like it's not in the news yet, so here we go.
Got an update this morning: tizen 4.0.0.2 has arrived! Software version R760XXU2DSA1! :victory:
File size approx 300Mb
Pretty stoked to see Samsung taking care of more/less dated watch. Probably last update before new Galaxy sport rolls out.
Thoughts, ideas, etc..?
@adfree, it happened!
Nice, saw this on SamMobile. Does anyone know how to force the update? I have the S3 Frontier on Verizon.
They started to roll the update out a few hours ago.. give it a few days, I'm sure you'll get it.
Just got it on my S3 Classic R770XXU2DSA1 , 301 Mb

Did someone find out how selecting the source app for music is supposed to work? On mine gear sport I can't figure it out. Music app looks and works like before.

It probably doesn't help you since I have the s3 frontier but I hit the 3 dot menu on the side, then I hit the phone looking icon that says music player. That brings up where you can select the source app

Thanks for your answer. Just minutes ago, there was no 3 dot menu on my watch. But now, after updating the gear s plugin on my phone, it is there. Now I am able to choose, too!
No update here. Frontier s3 watch only. Ireland.
Not that i need it.. 3 days battery is enough for me so far.

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.
I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?
Anyone have the OTA file?
Bueller? This HAS to be out there somewhere for U.S. users for RP1....??
My Camera APP crashes all the time now after the update. What Gives??? Is this purely a 9 thing or did Razer fix the Game Booster, and break the Camera APP???

Update downloads then almost instantly goes to "Installation Failed". Currently on 8.1 MR2 factory image. Phone is not rooted, firewalled, or anything and there is plenty of space left on the device. Razer support is scratching their heads for the past week.

The update is still very buggy, and lags a bunch of times....so sad, I think I am going back to my RoG Phone now that PIE has been released.
new update with november 2019 security patch.
the factory images for the december update are in the factory images site, but the links are down
