1) sunlight mode?? when i click it, can't seem to see if it does anything, doesn't have a toggle for ON/OFF
2) haven't gotten my google voice recognition to work yet.. can't use OK GOOGLE.. or any voice app to work..i'll try to reset my watch later... hopefully that helps..

Android Wear 5.0.1 Review
I did a "quick" review. Sorry for my rambling and bad camera work.

I did a reset on watch. Turned off google now and back on and still can't get google to recognize anything I say except OK GOOGLE.

Never mind. After an hour. It updated google services and now voice recognition works. Let's see if this update has an effect on battery.

How will we know when the update occurs? I'm still learning about Android Wear...thanks

It was an update in the play store. It didn't say 5.0 on the update. But after I updated the app on my phone. It ran update on the watch.

I updated the app the other day but didn't get a watch update. I even went to settings and checked for the update there but it says up to date?

Software Version update to 5.0.2/ Build LWX49K

Hi All. I was wondering how many others have started getting the 5.0.2 update? (I was lazy and instead of taking screenshots... I just took some quick pics with my phone of the update info to post for anyone interested).
I received the update this evening and tried to find some information about the changes through an internet search. The update looks to be fairly minor and what I found says it should provide bug fixes and an update to Google Play services. Most of the info I've found discusses the update rolling out for the Moto 360, but I also found people who are reporting their LG G Watch R got the update too.
So far, the update is running smooth for me with no problems. I'm hoping it will continue to work well. I'm loving my Sony Smartwatch 3 and I'm glad to see that we got the update so quickly. :good: I just thought I'd check to see who else got the update and see how it's running for them.

Yes, I also got my update this morning, but am not sure what is new or updated...

Got it at Malaysia, about 3pm....

Waiting for the update...
What about this compass problem:

Seems to be solved?

Dumb question time. Does the watch get the update via bluetooth or do you connect it to your PC via usb.
I am in Australia and my watch says it is up to date on 5.0.1 so I guess it is on it's way downunder sooner or later.

I'm just gettinh this update.

I received the update wirelessly without plugging it in to the computer (I'm guessing by bluetooth). The watch just gave a notification to swipe left to install the update. I read on one website where the watch should be charged to at least 80%... but I don't know if it has to be charged that that much to get the update. Im guessing that like other OTA'S, the update is being released in phases, so it's hard to say exactly when each person will get the update.

Wow... I didn't realize there was a problem with the compass since I don't really use it. I see where you also posted on the Sony forum to ask if the update fixes the problem. Hopefully someone will be able to respond quickly. If I get some time, I'll try to test it out.... but it will probably be a while.

Got this tonight, in Australia.
First thing I noticed is tilt to wake is way better... is it just me? I used to have to do ridiculous contortions to make the screen wake previously.

No update showing on my watch here in Adelaide, that is weird.
It must have gotten blown in on the cyclone but typical Adelaide, backwards.

I haven't ether in U.S (florida)

Got the notification around 20 minutes ago here in Oregon, USA. It looks like the update was delivered "OTA" to the watch via BlueTooth in the background, as I did not have to sit there and watch a download progress meter. My first inclination that there was an update was when the watch gave me a notification saying "Update ready to be installed!". Of course I swiped left only to be told I need to charge up first
I've got my watch charging now, will install ASAP. Annoying that there is no official changelog or blog post explaining what is new / fixed, just speculation.

Yeah, I was hoping to find a changelog somewhere too.... but it looks like there isn't one available from what I've seen.
Here's a link to an Android Police article that someone posted in the Android Wear forum with a little more info about the update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58953763

Still nothing

Not really that strange.. they send the updates out based on hardware batches... it has little to do with geographical locations..
for the record I haven't seen the update yet either, in Perth WA

I've got mine last night , here in italy, after messing up/ stressing my poor smartwatch 3 i reset the watch.. tried to install " new update " via Sony Pc companion.. than reset it again.. in the end the " poor " watch gave up and sent me " downloading update " ...
i didn't notice anything " new " so probably some fixes !

New Android Wear update - now we really need to know if Moto 360 has Wi-Fi

Google announced a new update for Android Wear. This update enables "phone-free" functionality so the watch does not have to be in Bluetooth range from the phone to work, it can also function if connected to a Wi-Fi network.
So does the Moto 360 have a working Wi-Fi implementation or not ? What is the consensus ? If not, this would be a good reason to upgrade.
http://googleblog.blogspot.ro/2015/04/android-wear-wear-what-you-want-get.html

It has a disabled wifi chip that was filed with the FCC, assuming it'll be turned on with this update.

It does have it, Motorola said so in their own blog

Great news ! A very useful feature. Hopefully the battery life will still be acceptable with this turned on.

I wouldn't call it a weird statement. It is likely the software update that will enable this functionality - I doubt it is any sort of hardware limitation.

They better also unlock the other half of the battery if they enable true always-on screen functionality

Almost positive this is referring to the black and white feature of always on apps.

What build number and software number is the new FW? I got software 5.0.2, is that the new one?

It's only the android update side. I think we still need them to push the watch side.

i've updated my android wear app and wifi is enabled..I'm at work and have wifi here. i can walk to another office over 100 feet away and still connected where as yesterday it would say it was not connected.

The watch firmware still needs updated on the Moto360 before WiFi features will work.

wifi absolutely works without the new watch rom.

Can anyone else confirm that the WiFi features are now fully functional on BOTH the App and the Watch? According to this Motorola blog.. it's going to be rolled out over the next "few" weeks: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2015/04/moto-360-its-time-for-update.html?m=1

Updated to the newest Android Wear, enabled cloud sync and was in wifi range - waited some time for things to "sync" and verified the newest android wear and play services were installed on my watch. No sign of any Wifi connection to the 360 here. I don't believe it will be enabled until we get new firmware for the watch itself.

New Wear firmware update on watch- 8/20

My watch just downloaded an update and is flashing now. No idea what this is. Will post back when it reboots. This isn't a new watch either, have had my watch for months now. Hope this is the expected August update!!

I also received the update. First thing I noticed was the rounded corners. Less screen space and I can't find a setting to turn it off yet. Hmmm...

Can someone please test the weather app, it just says "weather data can not downloaded - check your internet connection" (translated from german)
Any settings I can do there ? I tried bluetooth connection via Nexus 5 and WIFI - both do not work with weather app...
Versions are:
AW: 1.3.0.2160025
PlayServices: 7.8.99 (2134222-543)
System 5.1.1
BuildNr: LCA43

There is also a new watch face called together let's you message other watches I think fails to load for me. Might have to do a factory reset. Also noticed the round corners don't show on everything just some watch faces and apps, also weather isn't working for me.

You didn't manage to pull the OTA did you?

Aside from the faces, given that this is a new firmware, i am VERY interested in seeing if the battery bug has been addressed yet...

How can I STOP this update.? I dont want anything changing on my SW3!

If ya have the option to update and haven't rebooted yet you should try to pull it for the rest of us. To answer your question though you should just be able to swipe it away and keep doing that if you don't want to update.

While we wait and hope somebody grabs the link/file, can i ask why you feel so strongly? Given that any time you have to unpair the watch (reset phone, switch phones, etc) you HAVE to factory reset the phone in order for it to connect again. Its not like there is any user data to preserver, so i am curious about what you don't want changed...

Got the update! Had to reset 5 times. Factory reset the watch, forget the watch in the Wear app settings, and clear data of the Wear app in Settings>Apps.

Use the PC companion program on Windows to restore it. Do it quick before Sony updates it with the new firmware!

Did you let it sync apps each time? Or interrupt that while it was syncing apps and check for an update, and then factory reset again?

Another update M6E69B 05 August 2016

Here is another update to M6E69B
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../ea3f22cafa01264ded185bdec71b42821cec2c59.zip
I have no idea what it fixes / enhances / solves. I just got the update notice on my watch and grabbed it.
edit - I cannot see anything new other than the version. Sounds, watchfaces, installed apps, all the same. Let's hope the bugs are fixed, especially bluetooth drops.

Updated to it too. Can't spot any diffrences.

Someone on Reddit says it is a security update. Nothing else shows on Google Search.

Was hoping this update fixed the pairing issue on Nexus 4 phones, so I installed your latest ROM update, but it still fails to pair.

Received the update and installed automatically instantly. Haven't noticed anything different and I still can't seem to answer whatsapp calls anymore over bluetooth.
This was working before the last 1.5 update.

Tell me about it!!!! I'm still on "June" update, since I got the watch in July. I've been waiting for the OTA and it never comes. Is there a trick? I go to about>check for updates and its always "up to date". I have my "wifi" going to sleep after 3hrs. The thing always on the puck/charger overnight at 100% battery. But these OTA never happen. Looks like I've already missed the "July" update, and will probably have to get that before the "august" update....
What are you guys doing ??? Other than sideloading via adb....

No where has I seen that Huawei does monthly updates on any device. This was a patch for bluetooth, wifi, and security from comments I have found and searching. Older versions never even mentioned the security patch data. I do see better BT range and few BT dropouts, battery is the same. I don't do calls on the watch but use my BT headset for that.

Got the update today. Yep, it looks like it doesn't come at the same time for everyone. Thanks guys.
