Moto 360: The Australian Thread - Moto 360

Hey Guys!
I've made it a bit of a tradition to make a new one-stop spot for all things related to Australians getting their hands on devices since the Nexus 4 and today is no exception!
My amazing girlfriend decided to give me an early Christmas present to stop me from buying one of the cheap LG G Watches, so now I have in my hands one of these very beautiful watches.
As far as I'm aware, this watch is extremely difficult to actually acquire in Australia, with both JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys having limited stock Australia-wide.
This thread will be a general area for Australian owners and potential owners to hang out, ask questions, get advice and get help quickly and within your time zone.
If anyone helps you or offers you advice don't forget to hit the :good: "Thanks" button in the bottom left corner of their post!
Please let me know if there's any important Australian specific information and I will put it here in the OP!

Not EXTREMELY difficult to acquire.
Harvey Norman has it in Knox, Chirnside Park and a few others. It had the silver one in Nunawading as well, but now it's gone.
I suggest you stick with Harvey Norman, they seem to have the most ones (advice to anyone wanting to get one now in Melbourne).
Got mine from Harvey and it's going okay so far

I got mine a week ago from The Good Guys in Sydney. All the Harvey Normans i went to had black ones and JB too. GG had both colours.
Loving it so far, even more so since upgrading to 5.0.1 today. I do have a stuck green pixel though which is a shame.

Anyone in Australia got the 5.0.1 update on their 360 yet?

Yep. I had to do a factory reset of the watch (and re-install of the Android Wear 1.0.5 app) about 5 times until the update popped up.
You need min 80% battery before the update will install (it will just refuse to install until it is).

Didn't work for me. Reset, cleared wear data. Tried it 3 times and no update yet. Guess I'll have to keep waiting

Hey guys, I reset mine around 5 times as well no update yet either..... I got mine a month and a half ago online..... This was the best way to get it at that time...

Ditto, got mine over a month ago from a family member coming from the US. Still no update.........

They're not difficult to acquire, you can buy them straight off the Kogan website:
Black: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/motorola-moto-360-dark-stainless-steel-case-black-leather-band/
Silver: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/motorola-moto-360-light-stainless-steel-case-stone-leather-band/
That said, the black is out of stock at the moment, but just keep an eye on it. I bought mine from there about 2 months ago with no problems.

I have just bought a Moto 360 and can't for the life of me get it to pair with my phone (SM-N910G). I've tried everything I know but always get the message "Unable to pair with Moto 360. Incorrect PIN or password"
I have restarted the phone, deleted all stored pairs, reset the phone etc but still nothing.
I did manage to get it to pair with my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 for long enough to set it up and download the update. Since then I have reset it again and unpaired the tablet but still can't get the Note 4 to connect
Any hints or advice would be greatly appreciated because right now it's looking like the watch will be going back to HN if I can't get it to work.

MIne pairs with my Note 4 pretty easily.
Try doing this:
1.Uninstall Android Wear app
2.In bluetooth settings on your phone, see if the Moto 360 is listed. If so, press "forget" when you click on moto 360
2. reset watch
3. download android wear app
4. try pairing again. You should have a passcode appear on your phone & watch (they should be the same). Once you press accept on both watch & phone, it should be paired.

Thanks for your reply - I forgot I had posted here.
I got it skorted, you can read about it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/help/note-4-pairing-t3019695

LiveView App in the Market!

Hey guys, just checked: theres an app called "liveview application" in the market ;-)
So launch shouldnt be too far away
Sent from my 2.1 X10i using XDA App
Are you buying one? If yes could you share the points that you think matters for you to own one?
Thanks
I'm definitely considering buying one, or at least asking for it for Xmas if I don't get around to buying it. I've kind of been wanting to get a watch anyways and this brilliant little device would be a nice watch and great for seeing what messages friends are sending to me while I'm working. I'm also an accessory whore so theres that as well. Why buy a fancy watch when I can get something that connects right to my phone and does much more than tell me the time
If it isn't astronomically priced I would consider getting one. Sony made an older bluetooth watch that is still available on ebay for a fairly high amount though.
I amuse myself with the thought of kids in school being able to check their text messages / social networks from their watch. I would have.
I have one since yesterday but display wont work,battery wont load,so bad.
Send it back.

Yes, it's difficult to get the phone to a backpack when riding the motorcycle.
Tomorrow I get my Liveview . I also think I will have problems with the battery. I will explain.

I'm actually thinking of buying this one too. regarding battery life, right now I have my x10 connected to my mbw-150 and IS800 and so far my phone lasts a day, granted I only wear them when I go out which is like 6 or 7 hours a day.
6 hours are the normal battery time for the liveview device!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
6 hours battery life is putting it a little low. Got mine since Friday 19th and have been using it since.
The battery holds for about 14 hours with on and off (regular) usage.
But as with all new devices, you'll probably drain that thing dry in about 5-6 hours, since you will be fumbling it all the time.
But as time goes and you'll use it normally, you should see a days worth of usage from the thing.
What concerns me, personally is the stability of the Software.
I don't know, how much is the apps fault (fixable), or that of the device (I've read no mention of it being update-able).
I already wrote SE for a statement on the matter.
As it is now, the device regularly quits working.
It wont go further then showing you the watch (time and date).
Nothing else.
After turning it off and on again, it automatically connects again and works though (taking about 10 seconds and two button presses).
With that behavior it's quite unreliable for notifications (it's main purpose).
I hope, SE can somehow fix that.
Got mine from ldlc.com
work nice.
But I'm a little bit disapointed with my mw600 now. I don't understand why the LiveView can display my contact name and my music title and the mw600 not ....
Dear All Thanks for the application
can anybody post the other 7 applications for live view since i dont have the android market in my x10 mini pro
apprecaite......
Can anybody please provide the updated version of liveview.apk?
Thanks, Sigi

Borrow a friends phone pair it then unpair it. Should now work.

Unfortunately, it looks like I will be returning my Moto 360

It wasn't the battery life that put the nail in the coffin. It's 4-5 daily disconnects or phantom disconnects from my Nexus 5. What good is this thing if all it does is tell time? I have another watch that can do that.

Misery loves company, I suppose.... That may explain why Motorola support was hardly helpful.
Since Motorola said they would take their sweet time in getting back to me about my issue, I decided to put Android L on my Nexus 5 to see if that helps the situation. If anyone's interested, I will post my results over the next few days.
interested.
interested.
I have been holding off on Android L only cause everything I want works on my phone.
Well except Moto 360 disconnects.

Lol you guys think that's bad? You can just cycle bluetooth and it reconnects right?
I'm using the 360 with an ancient GS2 with CM-11 on it, and my bluetooth module is dying or something because it will disconnect the watch > then turn off bluetooth > and only way to re-enable is to restart the GS2 lol
My watch is more powerful than my phone... no update will fix that!

20 minutes in and so far so good. Ha!
I will let more time go by before I do a real update. Off the bat, the difference I noticed is that the status bar just says "connected," rather than "connected, running sync loop." Not sure if that means anything.
I've only had one disconnect since I got the watch on Monday. it's been great so far. using it with a G3. Tried it with my M8 and no problems.
But hopefully there will be some sort of update for those that are having constant issues.

ive not had disconnect issues on my g3 either...
Hour 4, minute 9. No disconnects to be reported. An uneasy calmness fills the air.
I had about five disconnects a day with my Note 3. I returned the 360 after a week for many reasons. I just picked up a Gear 2, and it's such a better smartwatch. I have a "That's so cool" moment several times a day, where as I didn't have many of those on the 360. Rock solid connection too. Tizen surprisingly works great. The only thing I miss a little is Google Now.

Sadly, I just returned my moto 360 today. I got constant disconnects on Bluetooth as well, but that actually didn't bother me. For me, it was the battery life. I got tired of charging it once in the middle of the day, everyday.
Also, I think Android wear is just not up to par yet...
My last watch was the Gear 2, & I agree that it's a much better watch and much better operating system. I got spoiled by 3 to 4 days worth of battery life and a beautiful screen- it just happens to be square... Also, the IR blaster is just too damn cool and useful!
I liked the round watch so much, that my next SmartWatch will probably be the LG G watch R. I'm hoping that they learn a lesson from Motorola and fix some of the problems that the moto 360 had. I'm also hoping that it is easier to modify and we can have a better experience with Android wear. I think I'm going to stick with Android Wear- after all, I remember the Android operating system was pretty bad when it first came out too...
Lastly, I just think it's ridiculous to have a watch that has the display turned off most of the time. I know someday in the future (soon) we will look back and laugh at the fact that smart watches had to sit there with the screens turned off most the time!
moto x here. no disconnects.
S5 here and no disconnects either.
I have an N5 and have experienced none of the behavior mentioned by OP. Watch stays connected unless I get out of range and reconnects smoothly when I come back within range.

Do you have an app that notifies you when the connection is lost? If not, you may not even notice when it disconnects. I had an app that alerted me when my phone was out of Bluetooth range. Or when BT was dropped in this case.
I have a Moto X, had a LG G watch for a week and now a moto 360 for a few days, haven't seen a single disconnect with either one.

the watch has an icon it displays when it is not connected. the only time i see that icon is when i disconnect it.
maybe a replacement instead of a return?

Only disconnected once over 5 days (other than testing how far I could go before it would, and it's at least 4 walls away), using Moto X. Maybe just your watch is the issue, and try a replacement before a return?

Unfortunately, Android Wear has stopped.

OK, I have a problem with my Moto 360 where the message indicated in the title repeats itself. I would love to reset the watch, but I can't even navigate the menus to perform this task. It is no longer paired to my phone and I can no longer re-pair the device. I have a 3 minute video detailing the issue on youtube. If anybody can help, I would.be very grateful!
Since I can't post a link to the video, I'm assuming it will have to be searched for. Channel name is cooldude2204, you'll see it.
I have the same problem. I can't find any way to performa hard reset in hardware and I can't get to the settings screen. Motorola have given me details to send it in for repair.
Bummer. Did they quote you for repair?

I am in the same boat after the update 2 weeks ago. I have not found a resolution and finally called Motorola today and got a ticket for a replacement. But, they want me to pay $25.00 for a service charge AND put a $200.00 hold on my card to ship me a replacement first. Hell freakin' NO! Option 2 was for them to send me a return label(via email) and ship my 360 to them first and then, within 4 business days ship me a replacement 360..no doubt a 'refurbished' one. SMDH!
Yes! I believe mine was caused by the same update!! Not worth it. I only paid 150 for the device in the first place (Best Buy open box). Besides, if an update caused the issue, how in the world is it our fault?! I may put up a fuss to Moto and to Google. I've got twins on the way and can't afford to be dealing with this.

HTC 10 Compatible with the Samsung Galaxy gear app ?

SO it's been awhile since i bought a new HTC but after finding out yesterday that T- Mobile will be releasing it on wednesday the 18th i was a happy camper , then i remembered that my Galaxy Gear S2 watch 4G is not compatable with my One plus X , So i figured i would call HTC Support and ask if the new phone will work with my new 4G watch
and i am sad to say that i was told it will not work , that it's not even a software issue but a hardware issue as well, was really looking forward to buying this Phone if anyone has any positive input it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks
Jim.....
My gear s2 is working perfect with my htc 10
My S2 and HTC 10 work but I can't get notifications on text messages or gmail or FB or been able to download Android Pay. Anything you would recommend?
I'm actually having issues getting my gear fit 2 paired
My Fitbit Surge will not pair with my HTC 10. Called Fitbit Tech support and told they're reviewing the issue.
Told to check back later. Called back a month later and told there's still no solution. Understand that the same issue affects the Samsung Galaxy S7. Anyone have recent information about this matter?

Had issues pairing a few Bluetooth devices. Guess the is the 10s wreak spot.
Called Fitbit Tech Support again today, Sept. 18th, and got the same answer as before.

I have my gear s2 paired just fine. Below is what I would suggest:
1) delete your gear s2 from Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure the gear s2 is factory reset.
2) open play store and download Samsung Gear, Samsung accessory service, S health, and Gear Plugin.
3) open Samsung Gear and pair normally.
If you are missing any of those apps, it will not work properly.
Have no problems with my HTC10 and Samsung Gear Fit2 combo. Most important thing is to factory reset the gear before pairing!
Get the same performance and notifications as with my former daily the Note4
Every time I make a call or receive a call the watch takes over the call via Bluetooth. It's super annoying and can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas?

I experience the same problems. I wonder if someone has figured this out already?
Subsequently I experience the problem that my gear loses its bluetooth connection for approx. 5 seconds when my HTC 10 goes into standby. I wonder if there's a fix for this problem as well...
