I have one of the original Dell Venue Pro devices and have used it heavily for 2 years doing browsing, email, and SMS. Recently the phone started slowing down in a manner that seemed to affect every feature and function. Turn on the phone, and the wallpaper appeared by itself, making me wait to see what time it was and my latest notifications. Unlocking the phone required me to wait as well, staring at the keypad before the screen responded to my touch. The touchscreen was laggy all the time. Everything appeared to be running equally slowly. Frustrating.
Fixed it by deleting my IE cache and most/all of the conversations in my SMS history. I had some long conversations, but also use 2-factor authentication for Google Mail and receive txts every time I log in. The thing about Google Mail's txts is that they come from a different number each time, so instead of a long SMS thread in my phone about Google verification codes I had hundreds of separate conversations each with one message. Deleting everything was a tedious process, but it totally worked. The phone is snappy once again.
I'm posting this so that folks dealing with laggy, slow WP7 have something specific to try, rather than the "solution" being suggested by MSFT support to do hard resets of the device and lose all your files/pics/appdata in the process.
A similar issue was discussed in terms of dealing with very long conversations (1000+messages):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030132
But in my case I was dealing with slowness affecting everything, not just when viewing a very long conversation.
Thank you for posting. I'll be sure to keep this in mind if I run into a similar problem.
Could somebody please help me about making a calendar entry? I feel pretty stupid about this whole thing, I can say to Moto 360 "open calendar app but it only seems to open it on my phone". Is it possible to say make an appointment for Wednesday the 25th? Seems like I have no problems with anything else like sending text messages and getting directions but this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any input you can give me.
I haven't been able to figure this out either.

Set reminders
I've been able to set "reminders" that only exist under the Google Now home screen. Try this voice command: "Add reminder. Whatever whatever whatever at 9am tomorrow." I've used the "Add reminder" command quite often and it works very well.

You can just say "remind me to take out the trash tonight".
Unfortunately I need calendar items and it seems, inexplicably, Google Wear doesn't support it.
What about these:

https://ifttt.com/connect/google_calendar/android_wear
no luck.
No Luck this is a bummer. I would like to just add a calendar meeting. Just by saying add calendar event tomorrow 9am meet with John Doe.

This is definitely a bummer like you said, but now I'm just using "add a reminder" hoping that the next version of android Google L will do the job.
Sadly, Android Wear is more of an extension of Google Now, than an extension of the Android phone...
It'll get better, though
I can't even get it to set a reminder. It tries to save and says "Sorry that didn't work. Try again"
Help!
Moto 360 degrading over time

After 3 weeks with my Moto 360 I just started having problems of all sorts, including no longer being able to set a reminder. I do everything the same as I've effortlessly done over the last 3 weeks ... "Ok, Google ... Remind me to <blah blah>" and it just shows a Google search of a webpage I can open on my phone. Reminders have worked dozens upon dozens of times over the last 3 weeks, and now not at all.
I've uninstalled Android Wear on my phone, restarted, Reset device on my watch, waited a long time, followed the on-watch prompts to reinstall Android Wear, re-paired Bluetooth, and so on. A few times now. Same thing - super basic smartwatch functionality of my Moto 360 has spontaneously stopped working over the last couple of days.
If I say "Ok, Google ... Remind me." and pause my watch will display a prompt that says "About what?" and if I say something it just says it can't reach Google at the moment. But it can! All my notifications from my phone are still working, and if I ask a random question ("Ok, Google ... who is the Prime Minister of Canada?") it pops up a response just fine. It's just all the really useful and core smartwatch stuff that has been hosed.
It started with the time being incorrect on my watch, whilst it remains totally correct on my phone. I've had to restart my watch multiple times per day to get the time set correctly, I've Reset device several times now, etc.
Overall, my Moto 360 experience is severely degrading over time. :crying:

What kind of phone? Is it at least android 4.3?
used to work fine
Yes, I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. And as mentioned, Android Wear and my Moto 360 have been working great for me for the last few weeks then all of a sudden - wrong time. After a bunch of complete wipes / reinstalls AND calls to Motorola support just to be sure and also to loop them in on problems, my AW experience continues to get worse.
However, it appears I'm not unique in this. I just checked the comments on Google Play for the Android Wear app and it looks like a lot of people are having similar issues with the October 6th update - incorrect time, inability to set reminders anymore, etc. Let's hope Google and/or Motorola read and respond and fix the problems ASAP!

Which versions of AW are you on? I'm still on 1.01.
Any solution for the problem? It's really annoying, someone??

Hiya, it seems the reminder functionality uses Google Now, so if you've disabled Google Now on your phone, it'll tell you that it can't make new appointments every time you try...
You can add reminder to Google Now remind section not on Google Calendar.
If you want add entry in your Google Calendar you can use an App named "Calengoo".
With this app you can add calendar entry and also entry in your Google task.
With this app you can also dismiss or snooze Calendar Event when is send to Wear device.
I've been using the MOTO 360 for about 2 weeks now after switching over from the original Sony Smartwatch. Just from a notification functionality standpoint I feel that android wear in general is really lacking. I know that has a lot to do with how new the software is and it will get better with time.
The things I want the most right now are to be able to see go back and look at messages and emails after they have been dismissed. The Wear messenger app is almost perfect on the messaging side but it doesn't work with MMS which is frustrating.
Are there currently any email apps for android wear that work in the same way as wear messenger does? I have been searching since I got the watch and I've found nothing.
I just received my MOTO 360 today and it has been able to send text messages then suddenly when dictating a text in Google Now on the watch it says that it "Can't Connect to Google at the Moment."
I have the newest software update (KGW42 R 4.4W.1) on the watch and I have done multiple factory resets to no avail. I have also switched the phone from Hello SMS to Google Hangouts and that has not helped.
It appears to involve any Google Now command like reminders. However, I can search the web fine.
I am running a Nexus 5 Unlocked with 4.4.4.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get this resolved.
I'm having the exact same issue... and I just bought my Moto360 today as well. I got it to work for a few minutes then it disapeared again. Would not suprise me if this is an outage on google's side.... at least I hope it is. If I try any google voice action it opens a seach of that term instead of the action, so I have searched for "set an alarm for 9am" about a hundred times.

Yes. Any time I use a voice action to, let's say set a reminder, I get the same error message. Just as the text message. I do hope this is a problem on Google's side. Web searches appear to be working fine as you said.
Yes I am having the same issue. I got the watch yesterday night played with it till battery died. Then i charged it fully, and played with it and used it at work today. I used google commands like "remind me ..." and "set timer for ..." about 16 hours ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden for the past 7 hours I always goes to google search when i make those same commands. It is very frustrating however i am happy i am not the only one experiencing this.
Just wiped my 360 and paired it with my Nexus 5 instead of my MotoX, same exact issue. Anyone who has had one of these things for more then 12 hours had this issue tonight?
It's a problem with the Wear app that was updated by Google today. I'm sure they'll have another update that fixes what they broke by tomorrow.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue... It's been driving me crazy I've been trying everything to fix it!
I was in tears thinking i got a lemon
Im glad im not the only one.. The 360 was launched here in India and i was quick to go and order before it went out of stock. I turned it on, charged it and updated it. Was trying all the voice commands and all it kept doing was a google search.. Hopefully an update will come soon enough.:fingers-crossed:
I've had my 360 for over week with no issues giving voice commands (e.g. remind me to xxxx) however just this morning, I am having the same problems as described. The weird thing is, my android wear app hasn't been updated (I've checked the version number) so that can't be the cause.
This leads me to believe its a server side issue.... hopefully...
This morning it seemed like the issue may have been resolved, not sure if anyone else can report the same.
^^^ I can report the same. The issues seem to be worked out. I will make not and post if i run into any other issues while i check it now.
Moto X pure here. Wasn't having this issue and now it suddenly popped up
Body of Gmail and "Nine" emails not showing after Lollipop upgrade on Nexus 5
I upgraded my Nexus 5 from KitKat to Lollipop (stable dev version) yesterday and after resetting my Moto360, reconnecting etc the body of emails doesn't display anymore. I used to be able to tap and pull up I think but now now double tapping or taping or swiping does not display the body. Worse, email subjects are grouped together into one single notification.
I can still reply to an email (but since I don't know what the body says, I don't do that).
Has anybody experienced this? I first thought it was some level (subject only versus whole email) of notification I had to set but that doesn't seem to be an option.
I guess I'll try a dedicated Wear email program like WearMail for now. Bummer though. Might be a Lollipop problem.
Thanks!
I'm having the same problem, I think.
The individual e-mail cards stack up correctly and everything, but only the subject is displayed for each one.
