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.

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.

I keep checking Android Police and Droid Life for info, but nothing yet. I see the card description in the settings menu has changed from show/hide, to watch face dependent.
Just got it and the watch is forced to reboot, kind of interesting.

I updated to the newest firmware on the watch yesterday. When I downloaded the Wear update today I noticed the watch reboot and figured it had crashed. Then I saw the note in the Wear app.
Installed it thanks for link.
But anyone can tell me what is the new change is " This update adds a 'Card preview' setting which can be set to "None" or "Watch face sets card preview."
I test it but do not see difference.

ok I figure what it is. And it is the setting I really need after recent OTA. After OTA on change is you can keep the notice card by swap down. It is nice but the problem is if you not aware income notice at first place after screen off the notice will automatically hide. Next time when you turn on screen you will not find any new notice unless you swap up. Or you will get old notice when new is coming.
It make me missing lot of notice. So if you setting as NONE, it will behavior like this, but setting another item, you get old way how notice show.
It is perfect now we can have choice for what we like.
Yep it rebooted mine too, and I was on the newest firmware. Wonder what its upto?
The watchface dependant preview is in preparation for the 2.0 update. The watchface API will allow developers to make a few settings, including how to display the preview cards (size, opacitiy, whether or not at all, etc)

There's no need for a tool, the watch face developers can set these in their watch faces. So Facer for example will either have a global setting or a per-face setting for these things.
Dedicated watch face apks will just set these based on what they want or also allow customization via some sort of interface I guess.
What is the new wear card that looks like a green wifi symbol? There is no text. The only option is open on phone, but does nothing. My phone wifi is turned off. Thanks!

Went through some debugging and to be more precise, the Xposed conflicting module is:

YouTube AdAway seem work just fine and so does YouTubeAllowFullScreen HDMI.
Eventually the developer of Yourtube will update soon.
Most of Lollipops changes and design is a good refresh from what KitKat offered. Most of you may dislike it at first but personally, I'm finally glad to see changes from the old 4.0.

Hi guys! If you have problem installing the YouTube material, you will just need to update your Google play services before you update to YouTube material design.. I just discover this by myself.. Maybe in my so many expirences force closing my YouTube.. Sorry for my bad English ?
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.

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.

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.

Really? I just do the twist motion to switch. That's still available to do luckily for me.
They removed the grid button from the quick toggles but would've been nice if they let you customize it. A portrait mode quick toggle would save me a tap.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty confident that you can as its still an official verison.
Come to think about it I'm sure I've also updated an app manually like this and then updated it on its next release (I think I did this with android wear).
I noticed the "subscribe to pushbullet updates" on apk mirror so did that for the Google camera. That way can get the update a little faster

Sure. I did the same thing with the phone apk a while back when it was updated to 16.0. Sometimes it just takes google a little longer to catch up with their own apps ??
So they replaced a really good feature (double tap to zoom) with double tap to switch cameras? I hope it doesn't do that during a recording.
Edit: So I have camera version 5.2 and it's the same as before.
They have improved noise levels in the photos recently, I liked that
Edit Edit : There's tons of new settings yay
Thanks google

Oh, No problem, you can choose if you want to zoom or switch camera! Do not worry
I always download APK updates whenever I can just cause I'm impatient. Android Police is quick on getting Google updates post with APK links. And yes, you can get regular updates through the Google Play Store still.
I would actually have liked the double tap to switch cameras with the video recording as I see iPhone Instagram stories doing it. It's cool to film something then show your reaction.

It's something that was being developed months ago, it makes your device search for devices in the background periodically for potentially COVID-19 infected people.
If someone is infected, they have to report it on their phone and it flags other users around if you're near someone who had/has COVID-19 or not.
It uses Bluetooth
