The one feature I am waiting for is to compile my own list of canned answers, in the order that I want. And how about keyboard support (just release an API and let developers build keyboards) instead of the stupid OK Google feature which I never use and is not nearly as reliable as it should.

Can't wait.
I read somewhere that was coming in the next few days, not sure if that was true.
They would tell us right?

Seems to be coming in December. .

THIS.
Been so long I almost forgot about it.
Although with the last update, they did make the notification pictures for group hangouts bigger, but not higher quality.

Dumb question, but does my phone need to be upgraded to Android 5.0 for the watch to be upgraded? Not that there is an update for my Note 4, but I may have to hold out because of one specific application I use regularly that I don't suspect will update right away for Lollipop.
I'd update for the battery life.

This is not a problem with the Moto 360, rather with Google in general and the way they treat contacts. Google apps default to a 96x96 photo. On your phone you can set a specific photo per contact up to 720x720 (assuming you have Android 4.1+) but that doesn't fix the underlying issue, and the contact photos don't persist to gmail or from Google+. This is a really annoying situation to me, as I like to set everyone's contact photo myself, and then Google overrides it with a 96x96 of the person's Google+ photo if that exists. I don't want the person's Google+ photo, much less a 96x96 of it.

its like any stock android device . all get the updates in the same time frame . not like OEM updates .

I'm running 5.0 on my s4
And I can already access the new features mentioned in the article. Being able to hide the top notification is actually really awesome, without disabling notifications on my watch I can see the entire watch-face. Very cool. The only thing that really bothers me now is that the words "ok google" are on the screen whenever I wake my 360 up for about 3-5 seconds. It's pretty intrusive and doesn't look good on a lot of my watchfaces. I'll post photos if anyone is interested.

I believe you are looking at the update they did a week or two ago, 4.4w.2, where the enabled being able to swipe down the bottom notification without dismissing it. I think the 'ok google' thing will go away, maybe with use I'm not sure, but mine isn't doing it at this moment and it was shortly after this last update.

Update to 1.4

Any news about the latest update ? 1.4 ? why is huawei so slow in this direction

I know I should just let this go unanswered but I can't help myself. You talk about Huawei being slow, what other manufacturer has released 1.4? Who do you think develops and distributes Android Wear? Hint... It's not Huawei. And this isn't Android where carriers and OEM's get to put their own personal touches into it. This is pure Google across all watches. And to your question, there are one or two other threads going on this subject. And you'll find in them that nobody knows yet.

I know this is what I find amusing when people complain about no speaker yet.
The speaker is not supported yet because Goggle has not yet updated Android Wear to support the speaker.
Has nothing to do with Huawei.

I'm pretty sure the changelog for AW 1.4 included speaker support. I remember reading about it when Skin updated his root kernel last. i think that the interface of the watch is going to need some updating for sure to add support for calls. that cant come from AW update. that has to come from Huawei update.

Looks like Google is working on Marshmallow for wearable. Crossing finger

Yes update will be release in a few weeks. I'm feeling so bad right now. I just return my watch cause I couldn't wait anymore. I think LG and HTC will show their new watches too in a few weeks. I am just guessing. I will properly buy Hauwei watch again when the new updates arrive.

According to Android Police, the OTA's are beginning to go out today. Of course in stages.

This is awesome news, thanks for sharing. I still have some problems to understand the concept of SW roll outs for Android Wear though.
Google is directly updating the Android Wear software for the watch often referred as the "6.0 Marshmallow" update. Is this the operating system of the watch? Which part is Huawei updating with their OTA updates then?
If Google states they activate the speaker, does this also mean they will update the simple call notification app we have at the moment to an app where we can actually make calls through the watch or is this something, that Huawei has to provide after the Android Wear update?

Yes this is the software on the actual device itself. The watch will received the OTA ask to download and install. Which is different than the android wear app, on the play store. Two different items, but work together. Clear as mud? lol If you are at all familiar with the Nexus device updates, they usually "stage" the rollouts slowly. Which isn't horrible. It'll hit my device when it does. When I feel a slowdown on the watch, I'll restart it to see if an update is waiting to be downloaded.
As for the speaker, that is the speculation at this point. We'll see how it will work in the coming weeks.

I would be more than happy to do that once I get the update, but I don't know how so I would have to be given directions for how to do it.

Moto has beaten Huawei, as first reports of 1.4 update have arrived...

Let's see where and when first HW receives it...

Nougat reviews?

So now that people are getting 7.0, can we get some feedback? I'm itching to upgrade, but 6.0.1 works so well that I'm scared. Battery life? Performance? Pros, cons?
Edit: Also please detail your upgrade path, eg. Did you hard reset / wipe data? Did you sideload the OTA or are you running a ROM?

Battery's same as MM
Performance same as MM
All working.
Pros: Multitasking (Window's way)
Better notification bar and settings
Root it's now available
Can change the DPI without failures.
Settings redesigned.
Cons: Isn't Xposed available...Yet.

I received OTA update. No stuttering issue.. Performance is top notch. Battery life is awesome just like MM. Coming from 5X i have been missing double tapping recents to switch between apps on MM, but since the update I'm super happy

I have some stuttering / lagging when I swipe through the homescreens and open the notification drawer.
Performed OTA upgrade in the reteu channel. Seems not a too big issue, but still noticable.

When did you get your OTA and what is your location?

Germany. Got it on 13th February.

Ten days on and it still hasn't rolled out. I wonder if they've found a problem of some kind.

Probably the performance issues hold up the global rollout.

I sideloaded the reteu OTA a week ago. So far there is no change from MM on battery life and performances, the phone is still smooth and super reactive. What I consider as an improvement over MM are the notifications, the split screen and switch between the last two apps, the notification volume fix (gave me a heart attack the first time I got an SMS) and the DPI changer.
I didn't clear the cache not factory reseted the phone, I just sideloaded the OTA like I would've done with a regular OTA.

Is Now on Tap available on Nougat? I highly depend on that.

A link to my short review of sideloaded RETEU in another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71222470&postcount=1365
Bottom line: I have no issues, everything runs very well. Nougat is the best Android so far for me.

Yes, it is. It's a Google Play Services related setting.

Ok,so i tried nougat (the prerooted one from here) and went back to MM cause i dont like the display colours on nougat.they look washed to me.i like it better in marshmallow.maybe just me,maybe just the rom.and i had problems with whatsapp notifications.

Any retus owners get the nougat update yet? I'm using a custom ROM right now so I don't know.

Nope. I'm giving it another couple weeks

I received the ota update and did a factory reset. The only problem I'm facing so far is that I miss a lot of notifications of Gmail and Whatsapp mainly. I have to wake up the phone or even open the app to get the new mails and messages. Could this have some to do with the battery optimization options? In MM the same settings where set with no issues.

I've had this same issue with Gmail notifications on marshmallow for years now. I don't think it's a nougat thing

Ahhh... I knew the name sounded familiar and it just clicked.
I like it a lot actually, battery life is amazing and that seems to be my major thing lately, most other things seem of less importance now days, but to be honest it has been a solid device going on 6 or 7 weeks now. It just works.

I agree. I have no complaints, and the battery life is crazy compared to the N5. Four days compared to nightly charges.
It's a solid device right now, and appears to more than equal the N5.
I'm on factory for the time being. I may try rolling my own, but this is a different ecosystem than the Nexus world.

Anyone in india got that update??

Another update? UGH! I guess it is going to be like this from now on.... Repetitive updates...
Still on -35 and getting -35-5 announcements. Still haven't even updated to -35-5, -35-67 showed up, now -35-83?
Is it still rootable? Are there FULL FW's so I can upgrade or do I need to upgrade to -35 and let it update to -83? Do I need to be on -35-67 before the -35-83 is capable of being installed?

Don't get me wrong, updates are great, but not if you are rooted and you have to go through a process to root then reconfigure the phone since it's not an OTA, you have to reflash a STOCK rom to allow OTA's, then you have to root (if possible, not sure if -83 is yet...) and then setup the phone the way you want it..

Huh... Why not wait and add the patch for BB? Odd... So the safest thing to do is to not even be using BlueTooth at all until it's patched? It's been 3 weeks right? 9-12 or was it 9-11 (what a coincidence)

Well... that's debatable... Although this vulnerability is real, the chances of being effected by it are so remote in most cases is so infinitesimally small that changing your usage habits probably isn't necessary.
Why the August one, probably because that is when they had is scheduled and it was nearly complete when the Sept update came out so they decided to just finish and release it anyway, why let the work go to waste. For Moto it is usually a couple months behind anyway.

My bad, I went out of sync with time for a min. It's AUGUST security the one on this -83 (not SEPTEMBER) so I am guessing there is another update coming!
Did you root your -67 (if you have -67?) My bootloader is already unlocked, do you know if Moto will eventually lock this (maybe Google forcing them to any time soon?)
Moto devs can unlock bootloaders and phone has ugly start image but other than that it all works as intended. (BTW, I am using SuperSU and BusyBox on my -35, not the Magisk root - I use Wifi Tether Router and doesn't work with Magisk)

Another update coming? I suppose, but since we just got this one I don't expect it for 3-4 months and that puts it in the timeframe of Oreo so this might be our last update to Nougat.
As far as the bootloader thing goes, I don't see Moto stopping this or actively blocking rooting, nor do I see Google doing this either.
I don't unlock or root anymore, just don't see the benefits.

+1. I'm on 43-5, a Verizon-exclusive update, and am not seeing an OTA. Chances are it's incompatible with my version and I'll have to reflash -35 and get the OTA. I'd suggest anyone else having this issue does as well. I'll report back as soon as I flash.

Have we reached end of "Android Version" updates?

As of this posting on 11/19 there has been no November update sent to the first gen Pixels Android Developers Image Page.
I know we are guaranteed security updates for the next 11 months, but I feel this is the beginning of the end. Does anyone have any experience with when the sun started to set on previous nexus devices?

Updates usually ends then announced date is reached. Zero Android updates after it. Not sure how huge and critical flaw must be to get an update after that.

They are working on it but there must be a bug they are trying to overcome.
