Have some patience and dignity please

Not out yet...
You hope that Huawei have the dignity to update not one but both of their top-of-the-range smartwatches (only AW2 with a sim in the UK)

No worries or offense meant, the world won't stop if this update does not arrive in a day or two.

The world won't stop if none of us had a smartwatch, mobile phone or tablet etc....but we do have, and this update has been out over a week now. This is a disappointingly and frustratingly slow rollout from Huwaei.

How does confirming whether other users have received the update or not strip anyone of their dignity?

Still waiting with great dignity........

Confirm.
The actual state of my watch is:
Android Wear: 2.9.0.185193.291
Platform: 7.1.1
Security Update: 01 August 2018...
Staying humble and waiting...

no oreo update for hw2 4g also so far.

And my watch no yet

Hi guys,
Have any of your HW2 4g updated? My watch is still showed Android 7.1.1 and the same build no.
But this morning have noted some changes to my watch. I went to about to check system update. It shows the same message "System is up to date". But the background is completely black with a blue tick. Previously, the background is green and tick is white. Another difference is a very small circle on the bottom of watch face to indicate unread messages. Did any one notice those changes?

Yes, I now have the blue tick when previously it was green. Still no 8.0 though. Strange!

For me, system is up to date too (Android Wear 2.9.0 and Plateform Android 7.1.1), but still with green background and white font.

Its due to the google play services being updated. Its now on a higher version number. This update came automaticaly

4G here. no update
Will think twice before ill buy AW device again.

This reminds me of my old Nexus 7 LTE tablet.
Google would always release the images for the wifi variant before the LTE one.
Perhaps the HW2 4G requires more work on the radio stack, more testing and therefore more time.

Who has a Korean S8 with the red tint?

Hi,
Just wondering who received the OTA in Korea and had a device with Red Tint?
Did it allow you to set the white point and completely eliminate the Red?
Is there anything else to the update?
Is the phone smooth, smoother, less smooth post OTA?
Thanks for letting us in the US know what to expect.

I read somewhere that Samsung will release an update to remedy the red tint.. or all tinted phones for that matter.
Yes. That's what an OTA is. They got it on some carriers in Korea yesterday.

No its not. Read the countless articles from major news sources. It's an adjustment issue. They need to expand the calibration levels. Then you can tune it out. That's the OTA that was just released in Korea. It will hit the USA next week per Samsung.

The silence on this red tint issue is deafening. Is Korea allowed to participate in posting on XDA I wonder now? The supposed update to fix the red tint was released a day ago and I've not heard or read much about the results of any of them that applied the update. Did it really work or failed? Why don't we hear from any of the many Korean users who surely must have applied the update by now and can tell us if it worked satisfactorily or not. From the silence and Samsung not releasing it to the rest of the world this week ending already... makes me suspect it was not a 100% satisfactory fix. If it is a hardware display design issue... oh! oh! Samsung.
Korean who use SM-955N here. I had red tint on the edge of the screen and the update was released 4/27.
It adds the settings which users can add gradient to the edge of the screen, so users can "conceal" the red tint and make it normal.
Well in my case it worked perfectly and I am happy with it.

Yup. Exactly same as mine. The mere tint on the screenshot goes away when it reboots.
I guess it is some kind of color calibration inside the kernel?
My S8+ suffers from the red/pink glow on all 4 edges and I'm in talks with Samsung and my carrier to get my phone replaced. I'm not sure how I feel about a software "fix" when it's a hardware defect on a $1200CAD device
Got the OTA yesterday (CSC DBT from amazon.de), this is how the screen settings look now!
For some devices these fixes will work, but on uneven screens (red tint on one side of the screen, and for example yellow on the other), which most of them are to some extent, this will not improve the situation!
What does work better than expected is the possibility to change the color shifting on the edges. On one of my affected S8+ (I own 3 atm, and have seen many more for comparison) this makes the screen far better!
An interesting thing:
I own 3 S8+, all from amazon.de. Only one of them received the OTA yesterday. The 2 other ones still don't get it!
It seems this is because my 3rd device was on a march build (C something) when it received the OTA, the other ones (which did not get the OTA) are on Build (AQ)DD, because I did the DD OTA on them before!

New Android 8.0 (Oreo) come to our watches!

Yesterday, Google confirmed new OS to our Android Wear watches.
Changelog (source: https://plus.google.com/+HoiLam/posts/eMzmoxztkpw )

?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.

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)

1.24.400.2 update received, UK

Hi, just as an update/ fyi, I got the 1.24.400.2 update this morning in the UK.
I have a Taiwanese U11+
Does anyone know what improvements this will bring? Is it the HDR10 update?
As usual, it only said 'software improvements'

Me too, I think this is not the HDR update
But is not taiwanese version , this update is for Hong kong version.
Is there anywhere we can find out what improvements/ fixes are included with this update?
I did a quick Google search and nothing relevant came up
can you please check what is the google play services version? it might have updated that (as far as I see the EU version uses the Nougat play services)
I think if it was the hdr10 update, they'd list it
Yes got the update as well. Too soon to notice any significant changes but did notice the always on display backlight starts in the bottom middle rather than is lit up from the bottom right hand side, so the display looks a bit more symmetrical in very dark environments.
Mhhh.. Nothing here. (The Netherlands)

It includes Android security patch level December 1, 2017..
I have found that the unthemed navbar was black and now its white
The changes seem display related. Other thing I noticed is I think the display doesn't get as dim as the previous version (which is a bad thing!)

The U11+ shipped with oreo. This update is just "system enhancements".
Things I noticed:
The bottom nav bar is now white when not hidden in an app.
The brightness behavior is now changed. Inused to leave it on "auto half" and now I need it lower.
Screen capture and edit tool now works very smoothly.
Sent from my HTC U11 plus using Tapatalk
ok it sounds like to me they did an update to the tw version just before Christmas which was 1.23, then the same update got applied to the HK model but have named it 1.24, and i imagine they will do the same to the EU model shortly and call it 1.25 (or something like that)
I have the white navbar since I got the u11plus, EU version. October patch.

Go to Playstore ON Watch. You will find an update for "Android Wear", and it update the watch to 2.8

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!

Updated to OS 12 a couple of days back. I turned on gesture navigation from the settings and since then can't revert back to 3 button navigation as the setting itself has disappeared from the settings menu. I can only see the option for gesture navigation. Is it a bug? Any workaround?

The green tint on lockscreen is due to the finger print lock. As soon as you disable that, the tint would also be gone.
