Didn't take long from the announcement for me to get the new OTA.
4.4W.2 Build KNX01S
http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-360-44w2-update-slowly-rolling-out-lightens-your-mood
I don't know if it's placebo effect but it definitely feels snappier than the previous one. It also fixed an issue both my friend and I had after the last update; rotating your wrist now actually turns on the watch on the first try.
Waiting to charge to 80% to install mine, popped up as soon as I got home.
Anyone know if resetting the watch/redownloading android wear app forces update like we thought it did with the last update?

Just tried it. It worked for me last time but not this time. I guess I need to be more patient
Is the winning watch face on this update?

Shame there is no easy way to force an update.
I just got my new 360 today, software automatically updated- still not the new version, lol.
Showing the version as "Up to date"...
My most awaited feature is that notification hiding with dismissal. Can't wait to receive the OTA.
waiting patiently for the OTA too!
Got the OTA this morning.
There's a new Play music button just above Settings.
Bluetooth devices menu in Settings, probabli in preparation for 2.0 headset support.
Notification hiding works ok. UI seems a bit smoother.
Rotating the wrist to wake also seems more sensible.
Can't comment on battery yet.
Rooted Users
For those that are rooted, was root intact? and if not were you able to re-root after the update?
Not sure what's going on here appears to be downloading something then errors out. I went to check updates btw.

I am also in the same situation. Nexus with Lollipop and no update.
Same here.
Nexus 5 + Lollipop no update as well (UK)
I performed a reset and the update was available. It was not available before reset.
Improved battery life is already very noticeable. I run stock faces.
Neither on HTC M8 4.4.4eu got the update.be patient my friends a few days and we all receive the update !

The one feature I am waiting for is to compile my own list of canned answers, in the order that I want. And how about keyboard support (just release an API and let developers build keyboards) instead of the stupid OK Google feature which I never use and is not nearly as reliable as it should.

THIS.
Been so long I almost forgot about it.
Although with the last update, they did make the notification pictures for group hangouts bigger, but not higher quality.
Dumb question, but does my phone need to be upgraded to Android 5.0 for the watch to be upgraded? Not that there is an update for my Note 4, but I may have to hold out because of one specific application I use regularly that I don't suspect will update right away for Lollipop.
I'd update for the battery life.

This is not a problem with the Moto 360, rather with Google in general and the way they treat contacts. Google apps default to a 96x96 photo. On your phone you can set a specific photo per contact up to 720x720 (assuming you have Android 4.1+) but that doesn't fix the underlying issue, and the contact photos don't persist to gmail or from Google+. This is a really annoying situation to me, as I like to set everyone's contact photo myself, and then Google overrides it with a 96x96 of the person's Google+ photo if that exists. I don't want the person's Google+ photo, much less a 96x96 of it.

its like any stock android device . all get the updates in the same time frame . not like OEM updates .
I'm running 5.0 on my s4
And I can already access the new features mentioned in the article. Being able to hide the top notification is actually really awesome, without disabling notifications on my watch I can see the entire watch-face. Very cool. The only thing that really bothers me now is that the words "ok google" are on the screen whenever I wake my 360 up for about 3-5 seconds. It's pretty intrusive and doesn't look good on a lot of my watchfaces. I'll post photos if anyone is interested.
I believe you are looking at the update they did a week or two ago, 4.4w.2, where the enabled being able to swipe down the bottom notification without dismissing it. I think the 'ok google' thing will go away, maybe with use I'm not sure, but mine isn't doing it at this moment and it was shortly after this last update.
hi, after updating to 1.0.b.6.30/1.0.a.4.11, the smartwatch 2 doesn't show dates on custom watchfaces, this is what i've try to do :
clear cache & data on smart connect app
reset the smartwatch
reinstall smartwatch sw2 app
changing phone language to english us
but no results at all, problem still exist
does anyone have any idea of what causing it, and how to troubleshoot it? or should we wait for the next update from sony?
From the description from one widget app on google play:
" DEC UPDATE: Seems like latest firmware update messed up watchface widgets. Date and weekday and other stand-alone time displays are handled by firmware (app only feed images to show), please wait until Sony fix this bug."
Seems like a bug, if what he wrote is true. I have the same problem.
Combined day/month widgets work though, but not the standalone day and month.
I'm using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.smartwatch2.nfwfwidgets
it IS a bug, caused by the latest firmware update
nothing the app developers can do about

Any news about the latest update ? 1.4 ? why is huawei so slow in this direction
I know I should just let this go unanswered but I can't help myself. You talk about Huawei being slow, what other manufacturer has released 1.4? Who do you think develops and distributes Android Wear? Hint... It's not Huawei. And this isn't Android where carriers and OEM's get to put their own personal touches into it. This is pure Google across all watches. And to your question, there are one or two other threads going on this subject. And you'll find in them that nobody knows yet.

I know this is what I find amusing when people complain about no speaker yet.
The speaker is not supported yet because Goggle has not yet updated Android Wear to support the speaker.
Has nothing to do with Huawei.

I'm pretty sure the changelog for AW 1.4 included speaker support. I remember reading about it when Skin updated his root kernel last. i think that the interface of the watch is going to need some updating for sure to add support for calls. that cant come from AW update. that has to come from Huawei update.
Looks like Google is working on Marshmallow for wearable. Crossing finger

Yes update will be release in a few weeks. I'm feeling so bad right now. I just return my watch cause I couldn't wait anymore. I think LG and HTC will show their new watches too in a few weeks. I am just guessing. I will properly buy Hauwei watch again when the new updates arrive.

This is awesome news, thanks for sharing. I still have some problems to understand the concept of SW roll outs for Android Wear though.
Google is directly updating the Android Wear software for the watch often referred as the "6.0 Marshmallow" update. Is this the operating system of the watch? Which part is Huawei updating with their OTA updates then?
If Google states they activate the speaker, does this also mean they will update the simple call notification app we have at the moment to an app where we can actually make calls through the watch or is this something, that Huawei has to provide after the Android Wear update?

Yes this is the software on the actual device itself. The watch will received the OTA ask to download and install. Which is different than the android wear app, on the play store. Two different items, but work together. Clear as mud? lol If you are at all familiar with the Nexus device updates, they usually "stage" the rollouts slowly. Which isn't horrible. It'll hit my device when it does. When I feel a slowdown on the watch, I'll restart it to see if an update is waiting to be downloaded.
As for the speaker, that is the speculation at this point. We'll see how it will work in the coming weeks.

Yes, this version is valid. My G8 single sim device was updated to B350 in early July. It has several new features compared to B330: Huawei ID (account), Pro camera features among others. This firmware is very stable, though it is still EMUI 4.0.
I have been looking for a downloadable package of the firmware on the internet but no results so far. Only a 438 MB package has available, This package upgrades B330 to B350, I could not find the full package on the internet before.
So thanks for the link!

My G8 runs RIO-L01C432B350 for several months now. Not one problem surfaced. Originally it was an OTA update from B330, but the full package can be downloaded from here.
Has anyone the full package from B370?
I'm the creator from the tread in the German Forum and i've also found a B370 firmware but I cannot install it. Has anyone an idea?

Because of the size and build number I thought it was Honor only. I just explored the ZIP and see that Rio is mentioned all over the place. This is the 370 update, just not the full zip.

i never had any notifications issues to begin with. the phone works fine as it is, never had any issues with it and i've always been on stock firmware.
only notifications issues i encountered are that media players (music, play music, tidal) sometimes don't look good on the notification centre, but this is mainly due to the theme i'm on at that moment. also the auto wifi feature is kind of annoying because it always puts up a notification that it has connected to a known network, but that's so minor it does not really count as an issue.
PS: does anybody know how to make the emui launcher have a 5x5 grid? thanks
With long press on the homescreen. On the right side unter the homescreen you see "more settings". When you open it, you must click the first entry.
