BLN-L24

I got the email and applied the update.
Interested in seeing how it works.

Have noticed a couple issues.
Can't get Google Now to launch when press and hold on the Home key.
Also, going into the camera app, changing models between Photo, Pro Photo, HDR, you can't get back to regular Photo.

Google Now works fine for me. Camera modes all work for me without issue. Maybe you should clear your cache via recovery or factory reset.

I did a request but I' m om L21 (europe).
Hope it doesn't auto update.

update is nice. The notifications isn't my style but nice to see they are working on things. I'm not exactly a power user so I probably won't notice things as much as others. Battery life seems to have gone down a bit but other than that the update has been pretty good.

I got Google Assistant on my Beta.

Agreed on battery life. Definitely seems to have gone from amazing to very good.

Next Version of AW being tested on Huawei Watch

It sounds like Android Wear should be updated "soon" and we "should" have the speaker support all of us Huawei Watch owners have been longing for.
The next version of Android Wear is being tested on the Huawei Watch from the sounds of it. I would bet (hope) the Huawei Watch sees the update first! Here is a link to the article by Android Police:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...i-watch-and-it-finally-activates-the-speaker/
Anyone have any idea how to become a member of this testing group?

I'm looking into this now. Hopefully someone will upload the build for others to flash.
It would be nice to test the updated build, but I haven't seen any details about how to enroll in their beta program.

Does anyone know if your phone's android system needs to be at version 6 (Marshmallow) in order to use the new features on the watch, once android wear is updated¿

it doesnt.
I was just coming over to post the same article. This may make my regret of leaving the Gear S go away!
This is why I bought this watch, for speakerphone support on Wear 1.4 update.
The ZenWatch 2 also has a speaker and should also receive an update. No other Wear watches have a speaker.
I hope that this is not fake.

Yea this is not fake.
The LG Urbane 2 LTE came with this version and had the speaker enabled. The Urbane was supposed to release with it but was recalled due to some "hardware" issues.
I specifically bought the Huawei watch for this specific reason. Watch calls from inside my pool this summer, yes!
I WISH they would include an option for a keyboard. Yes it is not ideal or reasonable for normal use, but there are some times when it would be awesome. Options are always good, even if they are disabled by default. Even a T9 style old school input would be awesome.

I use these two apps:
Mail for Android Wear
And
Messages for Android Wear
They are both replacement apps and are by the same Dev and have tiny keyboards that can be gotten used to!
They also have a web browser that works... well... It works...
I hope this is real. I'd love to have audio notifications on my H Watch.
Just waiting for someone to leak the firmware and confirm its true.
The guy who recieved the update didn't make a system dump before installing the update. This can only be done BEFORE installing. So there is no hope, we will get the update from him. Unless there is another user that copies the update.zip before installing.
On the other hand he won't be the only one to recieve this test build.

This device has an unlocked bootloader and a redily available copy of twrp.
ANY ONE who got that update could distribute it with in just a few minutes...
1. Receive update.
2. Let it apply
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Flash TWRP
5. Back up entire system
6. Post to internet.
But to what you are saying... Yes, it is correct that you can only get the update.zip before install. However see my point about getting the entire deal.
Then anyone could restore his TWRP back up and have whatever it is he has...
Perhaps newer builds of the firmware will be more widely tested soon, and more likely to leak out.....
The thing that's bothering me is that perhaps we might not get this firmware at all, and that it might be for testing features in a new 2016 watch from Huawei.
figures crossed we WILL get a download of this soon

Will we get Nougat (7.0)? If so, when?

Just thought I'd throw this out there because the 1+3 is my first 1+. Can anyone with past 1+ experience give me an idea of first, whether we should expect to get Nougat, and second, if we can expect it, how long after the initial release will it be released for us?
Well, I meant to post this in Q&A, but I guess discussion works too.
Judging by the 1+2, yes, half a year after N goes official.
But who knows, maybe they improved, we got a quick RAM and display fix after all, so I'll say it'll land on january 17th 2017.

It's not like my post was even lengthy...
Official update for sure takes months. But i hope CM and AOSP brings us a (more or less stable) N beta some weeks after the launch. So maybe for christmas this year.
Thanks Hatshipuh and Tiz92. That seems like a reasonable time frame.
Oh, and extra points to Hatshipuh for an exact date estimate! :laugh:
Prediction: OP3 will be the first Non-Nexus/HTC/Sony phone to get 7.0, officially or unofficially.

Well said. Wasn't there a pic floating around of the op3 running a preview N? I remember seeing it somewhere online bit I didn't care coz I never thought I would buy this phone at the time.
It was a fake. There were "0"s with different fonts.
History is a cyclic phenomenom.
At each new Android version the same threads, with the same answers: we don't know.
The correct answer is: When it's done. And sooner for custom roms.

Come back to future bro, lol
It's better to not count on getting Android N.
And even if it comes, there is a probability that certain things in a N update will be annoying or worse than on Marshmallow so that many users will prefer to not update to N.
But that is OK - on my LG G2 which I used for 2.5 years I still have Android 4.4. And it works, so what?
I heard that Android Nougat will be "6.1". Is it true?

No, it will be 7.0
I don't pin my hopes high of getting android N anytime sooner than 1 year. I will be relying on custom ROMs. The only thing i will be missing is camera quality. Photos on custom ROMs just don't match with what i can get with stock. Hopefully we get alternative.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
android n for one plus 3 ? in Feb-March 2017 , they have a history of slow updates. best to assume more time to avoid horrible disappointment lol . but who will stay on stock for so long ? i just hope the op3 gets a cam mod that makes us utilize the slow mo video recordings in aosp/cm roms.. then id go ahead.

Camera, Theme Store and Game booster Updates 11/24

Just checked the Playstore for updates and looks like Razer has updated the apps. :good:
Hmm, I'm not seeing that my end, any way you can pull the camera app and post pls?
Much improvement btw?
Haven't messed with it much but don't notice a huge difference.
So what's you app version now? I'm on 1.3.111 - can you backup the app and post if you have different? I'm so eager for change to the quality, gcam port is ok but a shame about the tele lens not working.
Sorry to pester you

Camera version 1.4.135.
Don't have a way to back up and upload but here the direct link for it on the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.razerzone.camera
Hmm even when I follow your link I have no option to update, are you on an unbranded razer? I'm on three uk.... And does an app like 'super backup & restore not work on it?
Might be a rollout I don't have any updates for those apps either. I've updated the theme store app and game booster before (November 7th is the current build for me) never updated the camera no update available for it.
My Camera app is stuck at 1.3.111, cant install from the Google store as it says already installed and the app cant be removed. Any tips?

Mine updated to the latest version 1.4.135 and the camera still sucks. HDR just kills the speed. I took a picture yesterday morning and it just rolled for 5 mins on saving the HDR image. I eventually had to close the app and move on but the image never saved.

Yeah, I noticed little to no difference when updating the app.
Going off-topic a second,
Noticed in your bio/listed devices, the OPPO Find 7.....
Nice phone, wish I'd kept mine, still using yours?
I bet the camera on that phone, even if the hardware is 4 yrs or so old, takes better pics than what we have with the Razer ATM....

lol. Yeah. I gave that phone to a friend of mine and he ended up giving it to his daughter. So it's still rocking and rolling. If it wasn't for some of the software issues I had with Color OS, I may have kept it longer, (it was really unstable when I had the phone) I ROM'd the hell out of it and gave it away because I couldn't be bothered to mess with it anymore. She still likes the phone and still gets compliments for it.

Has anyone got beta 5 from TMobile?

I still haven't received it. It's been like 5 days since it was released in the UK that I saw. Just curious
The last two beta updates I got them on a Tuesday around 6:30pm PST.
Maybe today we could get it
I been looking as well on mines, since it was announced last week... tried again this morning but no update yet.

yep, dont know why everyone stays in just TMO parts of the forums. All roms are compatible with all G955U phones. Well not all. Only the ones that invove AT&T,VERIZON,TMO,AND SPRINT. Once you flash just sitback and watch it switch to your carrier. AT&T part of the forums are good for updates,all you need to know is there on norbarbs threads. Verizon section has jrkruse who is an excellent rom builder. Sprint and Tmo are kind of the boring sections. In the Main screen of the S8+ part of these threads in Android Developement, you have another excellent rom builder, partcyborg. His roms are favored by many aand are excellent for speed. Back to the matter, thank you Kingaries79 for showing them the way. Guys just need to expand there is more going on out there than in this sub-forum.
I just got checked and got the update btw. T-Mobile S8+
Yes, just signed up for Beta today and they pushed the beta 5 immediately.

It's just luck. It appeared in the Samsung+ app all of a sudden. Was already giving up and then it appeared after a few weeks. But I think the beta testing is anyway over and they will roll out Oreo hopefully end of the month.

No oreo till august/september

There isn't any official announcement but. Seeing the pattern of providing update and the maintenance release notes for June patch. no one can expect Oreo till August/September as. It would take July to get updated security patch on every retail channel after which they will release another release which MAY be oreo. Which would actually take another month for full implementation.
Though I have created a tagline for Moto
"Lie like a pro
Lie like Moto"
Here's the Patch release Notes for g5splus
And here for Motog5plus

As you can explicate the news as anything which is relevant to certain group or community and affect a large no of person is news.
Why are you still expecting after all this time!? They are not interested in giving Updates. Just Install any Custom Rom and Move on, because the discussion on this topic looks trash now!
Motorola os offcially releasong when the see the overall sales of G6 family has already satisfy / met expectations....or....nothing at all and theres no more options to release oreo...also..expect oreo release when Android P comes to everybody....im moving from Motonovo and going forward to Xiaomi or Huawei or Google Pixel or even back to HTC

I get your frustration with Motorola, but Huawei is much worse. They put out a public statement about major upgrades and patching and then did neither. Customer support was horrible.
Moto may suck, but Huawei sucks much more.

True. And this is nothing compared to Samsung.
S7 Oreo update: Buggy. Stopped. Two times.
S8 Oreo update: Buggy.
A3 Oreo update: Bootlooping.
Hell, I would never buy a Sammy.
Better a late and stable update than a quick and buggy one.

This was days ago. Guys, calm down! About 20 threads in the news and q&a section about Oreo.
I had do unbookmark these threads because every day someone opens another thread with NO information and I get pinged. Please start opening theads when something really happens. I would like to receive Oreo too but these "news" doesn't help anyone. Nothing against this OP, it's the mass that is annoying.

I really want to, but those camera bugs on Oreo custom roms annoys me, so I'm using stock rom again and one reason that I bought this phone months ago is because Motorola said that it was going to update to Oreo, which is frustrating to not seeing it yet.
Oreo will happen.
It's just a matter of when?
We're just lower down the priority list than newer phones (like any other manufacturer).
We should hopefully be next after Moto G5S, so watch for when that starts rowling out.
