USA 5.0 Discussion.. Who in The US has got the 5.0.1 update?

So I know there are a few other threads but I could not quite figure out who in the US has actually got the update and it seems most of the ones I see and look are outside the US and the ones saying they have not got it are in the US. Is there confirmation that people in the US are getting the update? I have tried the reset trick uninstalling android wear and moto connect and clearing Bluetooth but I have had no luck and I see others freaking out about it so I thought if we had a more clear answers Who and where they live that got that update? I know some have said on the wear roll outs it seems to not matter the region but it seems to or at least for US and Non US.

I guess the option "Did not get the 5.0.1 update, do not live in the US" was left out?

I guess I should have added it and i tried to delete the thread to add it. I was making a US thread because I had seen others for other areas so I guess I just didn't think to put it. my bad.

I got the update on Thursday during the day. I am in Florida, bought the watch from Best Buy. I did not need to reset the watch to see the update, but I did upgrade the Android Wear app to the latest version.

I live in AZ and am still anxiously awaiting to see the update. I did get the Android Wear update, but nothing for the watch .

I live in the Boston Mass area and i got the update on like Tuesday.
my real passion is to hack this baby up but i was having a b1tch of a time getting my usb interface i built to work.

Los Angeles, CA
got both the same day on thursday. did not even know there were updates as i dont keep up with these forums. i DID come here once I saw the update to see what it was about....

Well maybe they are doing big cities and moving there way in Ugh I wish they would just get to it or I could get this thing to mount via USB I have never had so much trouble with a cord.

New Jersey, update for android wear on Thursday - No update for my watch yet.

I don't think it has anything to do with cities. It's all about your Google account and what position it's in to receive the update. I'm in Pasadena (literally right next to Los Angeles) and i have yet to receive an update. This is without resetting the watch, or doing any other ridiculous tricks just to get it.

Im in Fall River,MA and i am still waiting for the update. I do have the updated Android Wear app. My girls G watch recieved the update yesterday. and i have reset this mother like fifteen times since my girl got hers, lmao

I got it but I had to force it.
Try this, it has worked for 3 other people.
1: Make sure your Google Play Services and Android Wear apps are updated to the latest versions using apkmirror.com (NOT the play store)
2: Remove BT pairing, "Forget device" from within the Wear app, wipe Wear apps data
3: Reset the watch
4: once booted and paired immediately go to settings/update and check for it. Within the first 3 times it should download it.
Again its not completely proven, but I've seen it work 3 times before including myself.

Clear data from Android wear and Moto connect. Uninstall both apps. Reset Moto 360. Install wear and connect. Pair watch. Check update and should get it.
That's what I did. I'm in Orlando, Florida. Have had the update for about 3days

I did it like 40+ times with no luck so I made a usb cord to mount the watch and forced the update via shell side loading

Like I said before, I did all of that. Twice. Didn't get the update. It still requires some luck apparently.

Won't stay connected

Just got this watch. I had the Moto 360 before, it worked fine.
This doesn't want to stay connected. I have to reset the watch, uninstall Android Wear and re-install it, then it'll connect once. After that, it disconnects and won't connect again. So notifications, syncing, weather, etc don't work.
Looking at my phone in Android Wear it just says Connecting.... on the watch, it says disconnected. Going into Bluetooth settings doesn't do a damn thing either.

Try Bluetooth Auto Connect from Playstore, it´s working for me on a Note3 with Omega Rom

Thanks for the reply. I managed to sort it out... I missed the step to click "trust device" during the initial set up. I didn't realize that was a necessary step for the watch to stay connected. You'd think it'd just do it automatically.

I don´t know, if it´s automatic, but i have the function with klicking on "trust device", no change, only the "Blutetoot Auto Connect" app is working.

This piece of crap is doing it again. Once its been disconnected, it won't connect again without complelety startinh over and resetting everything.
I'll check out that app.
You know, people can bash apple all they want, but at least their **** actually works properly.

Hasn't happened in a while, but if mine won't connect I just go to the android wear app and disconnect the Zenwatch then connect again. Works every time...

Tried that, many times.. never works. That app doesn't work either.

Well this is a serious problem I've had the watch for about six weeks now it took awhile to get initial set up to begin with I was at the point to return it on the first day , then I don't know how but it just paired and started working fine , I was very happy until today turned the watch on it wasn't paired and I've literally been trying for hours to get this chit to connect with no luck I've reset it ,tried the app mentioned above no luck at this point I give up I bough it at best buy but I'm past the return period I'm going to try and find some customer service rep ,at this point I give up trying to get the watch to work,if anyone knows of a customer service phone number I would greatly appreciate it , or if anyone here has any helpful information , ,I'm pretty tech wavy. But I surrender at this point what a shame I really liked the watch but the aggravation factor is to much ,sorry for the.long rant but there's no where else to vent or look for help maybe together as a group we can find some answers again any help would be greatly appreciated......

did you forget the watch in your phones Bluetooth settings?

Thank's for replying but yes I've tried everything under the sun , just got home from work , going to see if I can't find a customer service number , if I can't get it resolved by the weekend I might as well throw 200$ in the Trash because That's where it's Going ....................:crying:

Go to settings / apps on your phone. Find google play services under running apps. See if device connection service is running. If not try rebooting your phone then the watch in that order and try to pair. You could also check if there is an update for play services and update if there is.

Same issue here, boxing up my ZenWatch and bringing it back to Best Buy today. Still within the 15 days. I really like the watch but these random disconnects are a killer. Most of the time it auto-reconnects but every now and then I have to reboot everything--which is kinda ridiculous if I'm out running.
At least I'll have a different watch with everything else the same for comparison sake and report back.

Have you tried uninstalling zenwatch manager? Mine started disconnecting after the last update, and uninstalling seems to have fixed my issue

I had the same problem I think the update from google services broke it.
unpair the watch from your phone then factory reset the watch and this is IMPORTANT pair your watch using "android wear" NOT the Bluetooth from the system phone
after I paired my watch using Android Wear now the watch stay connected and reconnect normally

After half a day working this seems to be the solution, thanks. :good:

Bad luck: two days later same problem persists (frequently disconnecting)

I am getting pretty tired of my Zenwatch not staying connected either. $200 is a lot of money for a watch that doesn't work right. It's had three or four updates since I bought it and it still sucks, should have sent it back the first week.
The Google nag to enable Google Now in the Android Wear screen is also a sore spot with me, if I wanted it enabled it would be enabled.
This whole "wearables" thing seems to be a poorly executed fad more than anything else, one that I'll be avoiding from here on out.

why would you have a watch that relies so heavily on google now and not enable it? connection has been just fine for me no several phones and software versions since I got it in January

Same here. I mean, it has disconnected maybe 3 times since I got it in November, but it hasn't been a big issue. Toggling BT on the phone reconnected it. I also agree with you about Google Now. It's central to how Wear works. Using a Wear device without Now would be like buying a car and trying to drive it without starting the engine.

You don't need Google now to benefit from owning this watch.
1. I like the ability to change watch faces and create my own with Watchmaker.
2. I can answer or dismiss a call from the watch.
3. Text and email notifications.
That's all I care about, anything else is an unnecessary distraction.

Everything was fine, now Playstore won't load

A few months back, I had side-loaded Google apps onto my stock device.
(I'm on 4.6.6.1 now - not sure if this upgrade happened recently...)
I am using it with a Project Fi data-only sim and letting the kid use it for Pokemon Go.
All of a sudden, PoGo won't start (GPS signal not found), and I can't load the Play Store (it just says at a blank white screen). Anyone else have something like this happen, and is there a simple fix?

Me too,today Nov 11 my google maps and play store dont work

same for me since 4 days....

I'm not on stock atm but in the past that exact thing would happen to my Google play if Google sent an update for it's services that somehow broke it on the firephone. Google has made about 3 updates this month so try reinstalling an older version or something and see if it works.

I don't need this when the whole world is falling apart.

All my fire phones were working fine with side loaded framework, google services, play store etc. as explained in the xda forum. They would automatically update and nothing broke except for a brief period a year or so ago which got fixed automatically after a few days. I know Google broke it with an update at that time, but not sure who fixed it -- Amazon or Google.
But now, the same things has happened. With Google Services update a couple of days ago things have come off their moorings.
Youtube, Maps, and the Play store itself are on the blink. Other things which require Play services also are gone, of course.
I am afraid, this time around, Amazon seems to have really given up on the fire phone. So the chances are quite bleak that they would take any trouble to fix this. eg. They don't even support Amazon Music Unlimited, and Audible on their own Fire Phone! Both are Amazon's own products!!

Check out this thread, last couple pages. Got me going again (for now, anyways).

Same here - good to see it was neither me, nor I'm alone, yet let's see how to solve this!

Got me going for a day and a half..

Thanks. That got me going for 36 hours. Then it automatically started updating, and back to square one... Google Play Services has stopped working blah blah blah..
The deicsion to freeze and branch off from a version of Android was a very short-sighted selfish, customers-be-damned decision.
Amazon seems to be a really bad version of Apple without the technical wherewithal to sustain itself.
What a pity. The fire phone itself is a great one.
Is there any chance that a non-Google non-Amazon fix can work at all?

Since we're here, I'm assuming we have our phones rooted. That said, is there some way to just block the updater with a firewall or something similar?

The new google play services update broke all amazon google services in stock fire OS
We have to block the update process or wait for fix in next play services update
Anyone find a way to fix it
Br,
Shahzaib Jahangir

I had this exact same problem and it started last night as well, I tried reinstalling but then I got the "Google Play Services has stopped" message repeatedly, i'll keep looking as I need this fix asap for work

"Wrong!!"
Sorry, the would is still fresh..
No.. none of my phones is rooted. The beauty of this Xda-forum solution of side loading the four files (Account framework, Account Manager, play services, & play store) was that they don't have to be rooted.

Just update framework and Login Component to Version 4.4.4 and delete the data from store and Services and everything should be fine.

Updating all manually to the newest kitkat version does seem to do it (though, I only just did it). Didn't even check the versions as I assumed they auto-updated as well. Should last a bit longer now till that version is too old.
Good catch. Thanks.

Not sure if people are still following this thread but I thought to share. I was able to sideload Amazon music unlimited. It disables native music app but doesn't launch using the same app link. I need to use ES Explorer's App library function to select and launch. Otherwise it works well. Not sure if the audible app would work the same.

Google Pay working?

Hello friends.
Is anyone else having trouble getting Google Pay to work? Let me know your experience.
For me, I got it to work on my old phone, but my 20X gives me an error when adding a card. I have the China version.

I managed to add 2 cards on my older phone. Uninstall and reinstall Google pay on my new phone. The cards show up now which is good!
I haven't tried it in a store to test that it works yet, but I'll let you know in a few days

Global rom should work, China rom will not, I have a feeling the framework in the china rom prevents this. Google and china are in a competition with regards to this.

I'm going to tinker with my phone and see what happens. I managed to get the card added, just need to test it out in a store...
It works on my older Chinese Mate 9, so I am hopeful.

I'll attach a screenshot.
I've managed to set up 2 accounts. Haven't tested in store yet

Is yours the China Version or the Global? If you got the cards added onto the China version then I'd like to know how, as I tried and it added the cards to Google Pay, but not accessible on the phone, the phone said it couldn't add it at this time but that I could pay on other websites through google, so I never got it to show on the phone the cards.

Mine work. But I'm in Asia.

Yes, mine is the China 8/256 version.
I bypassed the problem with Google Pay by loading it on my old phone (Chinese Mate 9) and managed to add 2 cards on it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Pay on my Mate 20 X and logged in. My cards loaded from my account without any problem.
Will do some more tests tomorrow. :victory:

Its not a victory until it works in the real world when you use the nfc to pay, then and ONLY then can you claim victory Cause I have a us phone that I could do this to as well and make it show up and transfer hopefully, but using it is the key

Cards load fine. Contactless payments work fine. Use it daily. Zero problems.

Mine doesnt have wallet, I uninstalled that app, but mine asks to set it up, and even in google pay when it opens says that the payments have to be resubmitted for security.
But once thing I realized is once the phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted G Pay will stop working anyhow.

well when I add GPay to my HN8 just to see what would happen, it came back telling me the phone isnt secure and the phone is bootloader unlocked.
But thats a different story.

Hey guys,
Its not working for me, despite having the cards added. At the grocery store, it prompted to set up contactless payments, but following the prompt it just went back to the homescreen with no further instructions. Weird.
Anyways I'm going to keep tinkering with it and I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

I am using AL00.
My PayPal account is already connected but i can't activate contactless pay do you know a solution.
I tried to uninstall G Pay and reinstall and i removed PayPal and set it up again.

Samsung galaxy watch

Hello,
I bought the galaxy watch yesterday and i noticed the galaxy store does not work.
The watch tells me there is an error and tells me to try again. I tried to reboot and also did software updates but still nothing. I'm using a oneplus 9 pro with the watch. Is this a support problem and are there any fixes ? If there arent any i might return the watch.

I think you conot use galaxy store if you dont have samsung phone.

I dont know what causes the issue but it still does not work at all. I can use the galaxy store on my phone trough the galaxy watch app and then send apps to my watch but i can't acces the store on my watch. Also i tought i could pay with this watch but thats not available in the Netherlands wich is also what i got the watch for

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to access the Store on your watch, I thought you were trying on your phone. Regardless, I have an LG phone and my watch seems to connect to the store just fine. Eek, maybe a factory reset is in order. Then once it's done initializing, try the store immediately.
