I seem to recall 5.0.1 and the newest Android Wear app together were supposed to have the option for taking a screen shot but i don't see it. I updated to 5.0.1 last night and I'm on Android Wear app version 1.0.5.1630507.

check that. that's for general lollipop release.
the api was included. it wasn't included as part of the overall OS:
Screen capturing and sharing
Android 5.0 lets you add screen capturing and screen sharing capabilities to your app with the new android.media.projection APIs. This functionality is useful, for example, if you want to enable screen sharing in a video conferencing app.
The new createVirtualDisplay() method allows your app to capture the contents of the main screen (the default display) into a Surface object, which your app can then send across the network. The API only allows capturing non-secure screen content, and not system audio. To begin screen capturing, your app must first request the user’s permission by launching a screen capture dialog using an Intent obtained through the createScreenCaptureIntent() method.
For an example of how to use the new APIs, see the MediaProjectionDemo class in the sample project.

Nope, it works fine with 4.4.4. You just need to enable debugging and the option will appear in Android Wear when you click the little gear in the upper right.

Where are the Screenshots?
I have Developer Options enabled on my phone and watch. Clicked on "Take wearable screenshot" on my Moto. Saw a message that screenshot request was sent.
Where does the screenshot show up? I don't see it in my screenshots folder on my Galaxy S5 phone.

Click on the screenshot notification and it should ask what app you want to share it to. Its a bit clunky.

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!

Hey All
Anyone know if there is a way to stop the auto sending of messages when they have been spoken to the watch...it gives you about 5 seconds to cancel before they send but I want to make the process completely manual

No. If you buy Autowear Tasker plugin you can do that.
If you're familiar with Tasker for Android, Autowear is awesome. Unfortunately it has some issues with our sw3 including battery drain and shake gesture not working. But the latest beta has resolved that for me

You have to setup a profile / action in Tasker. Here's an example ready to import if you got the required plugins http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?threads/start-hangout-from-watch.129/
The developer has also released Touchless Chat but I haven't looked at it.

Thanks for that, I was hoping you might have meant he'd found a way of modding the Android Wear software to enable the autosend time to be changed...... I thought it unlikely!
I guess this is a change Google will introduce at some point, makes sense.

Coming from a G2 and G3, smart screen setting never actually worked for me, especially in dark rooms..
I must be doing something wrong.
Ok but where is the setting ? That's what the thread is about...
On my 811 I can't find it either.. Or guest mode
On the G3 it's under General > Gestures. I can't find it either on the G4. They removed the Gestures menu. I did find the call and sound gestures under the Call menu (where you can turn the phone upside down to mute the sound, etc). Perhaps the smart screen is buried in another menu. I looked at the logical Display menu, but it was no where to be found.
even the tv off feature when turning off the screen has been removed as well; so sad that this is one of my fave feature also.

Its in the application manager under all apps and has the option to force close. Maybe we need a way to launch it like in a task launcher.
Yeah the smart screen and screen off effects were both removed. Don't know why, but I emailed Lg to ask and they sent me an email saying that they were very sorry and would forward it to the right department so that my voice can be heard.. I asked about not having guest mode/user profile too as the Tmo edition doesn't have it either.
I called LG and there is no way to enable smart screen. It's in application manager they just forgot the settings for it.
They just forgot to enable the settings for it. That sounds like a major QC error. I love LG, but this phone does sound like it was rushed to market, at least in the US, as it seems most of the issues are on the US versions. It could also be the carrier crap, uh, software, that they added is causing issues.

Nice to know the camera got those cam speed and iso aditions, I am curious about the starage handling, as I previously read an article here in XDA that files created by any app would be available only for such app, the author saw this as a negative feature, I would like to see how that impacts overall file usage in real life now that android 10 is officially rolling out

External touchpads support is broken (both usb and bluetooth) - they don't work/gets recognized as mouse HID as it was on Android 9, currently more like some kind of touch input. Therefore mouse cursor acts strangely when using touchpads - it is way quicker in one plane (e.g. horizontal) than the other (e.g. vertical) which makes it usless.
The update does cripple support for Good Lock which is a huge drawback. You can no longer customize how many rows or columns appear in the quick settings. Many Pie themes are no longer working in 10. On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

Every new version of Android on samsung starts without full support of every goodlock app. It will be the same thing for Android 11. They will update then eventually
One thing for me that kills the A10 update is being unable to Turn Off "Restrict Backgroud Data" on Power Saving Mode
I like to throttle the phone to stop losing battery as quick - Reduce Processor to 70% / AOD Off etc...
With the latest update they have removed the option to do this however when you activate it - It says be default that it is going to be switched on :/
Anybody faced the issue of KLWP not fully working after the update? I can set the wallpaper but the "click to launch app" does not work.
