Where is my Wear 2.0 Update?! - Huawei Watch

Hey all, so it's April and I still haven't gotten an update for my Huawei! What the hell? When I go to update software on the watch, it says I'm up to date with 1.6! Help! Any ideas? Thank you.

just need to wait the same as the rest of us. or install 2.0 DP

This is ridiculous. It's nearly May. Why build the hype just to break our hearts?

Huawei is simply waiting to release OTA update because is trying to boost sales of their crappy Watch 2. I think they won't release it before May or even June. Next time better buy a device from another brand

There's no way I'm buying new watch ( that' not even close to looks of the original 1) just because of aw 2.0 ! If someone from sales in Huawei is seriously tinkering that option he should be fired.

Welcome to the club guys! We have been discussing this issue from the time when Android wear 2.0 was released. The discussion is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/general/wear-2-0-official-t3553042/page63

It has never been so close
Watches that will receive Android Wear 2.0 end of April/late May

It's an exclusive for LG for an unknown amount of time to sell more urbanes.
I want my damn wifi.
Asus Zenwatch roll out is started
I manually downloaded Android Wear 1.1.1.1901499 but no update of my SW3 so far.
Asus Zen Watch getting it http://www.droid-life.com/2015/05/1...ing-out-to-asus-zenwatch-according-to-owners/
Keep checking the sony compain app (windows). Plus sony is kinda known for taking dor ever to push updates.
An hour ago I even tried resetting the watch to force the update. The OTA for the Sony SW3 is not out yet
Someone on android central under the ZenWatch update post, mentioned they received it on their Sony Smartwatch 3. So who knows. Just tried and nothing for me yet.
OK saw that you post a comment at the end.
http://www.androidcentral.com/download-android-511-asus-zenwatch-now
I'm not sure if the download also is usable on our SW3 so I can#t belive that the download is used to flash our SW3.
Maybe he got an normal OTA update

After a moderate amount of searching, I can't find any occurrences of someone claiming they got an update that way before it showed up OTA. Have you?
Just tried it anyway, with expected results. No joy.
Me neither
Very frustrating. Really looking forward to wifi connectivity

Come on update! I am ready!!
Just got another android wear app update, tried a watch reset but no luck.
Feels like they were bragging about Wear 5.1 pretty early just for the competition from Apple
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/android-wear/Dm-_S6xxtS4
Argggghhhh. Where is it? Please post if anyone gets it on SW3
The watches getting updates first are the non-wifi ones. Urbane is the only wifi capable AW device with 5.1, but there was a critical bug that prevented it from accessing wifi channels above 11. So be thankful that the Urbane users are beta testing 5.1 for us and it'll be less buggy when the rollout for SW3 happens eventually.
USA doesn't use 2.4ghz ch12 so I see how they missed that. But for those in Europe that would be important.
Google is now rolling out the update!
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-wear-5-1-1-ota-downloads/
But not to the SW3, yet.

Nope.
From what I'm reading, LG is pushing it now without enabling WiFi on the G Watch and the G Watch R.
Makes me wonder if they found a bug and pulled it at the last minute.

Guys... Arguing is unnecessary. Please knock it off, otherwise the thread will be closed. Respect each other, it's the XDA way .

No arguing here.
Just speculation.
IIRC the G Watch R and the Urbane use the same "guts" inside, hence the speculation on why WiFi support was not enabled.
EDIT: Looks like the G Watch R will get WiFi enabled in Q3.
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/05/22/lg-g-watch-r-to-receive-wifi-support-via-update-in-q3/
There have been some confusion over the capabilities of LG wearable devices with the arrival of the latest version of Android Wear, currently rolling out this week. Regardless of what has been reported, the latest version of Android Wear does not automatically provide Wi-Fi support unless the device was designed with this functionality in place at the time of sale.
LG Watch Urbane is the only wearable device currently shipping with the latest version of Android Wear OS and is Wi-Fi capable out of the box. The original LG G Watch was not designed with Wi-Fi in mind and will not have this capability even after the Android Wear update. LG G Watch R will require a maintenance release patch after the Android Wear update to access Wi-Fi networks. LG engineers are preparing the patch now for availability in the third quarter.
We thank LG fans for their patience and loyalty. LG is confident in guaranteeing that their wearable experience will be second to none.​

Huawei confirms the original Huawei Watch has NFC and Android Pay is being tested

Huawei confirms the original Huawei Watch has NFC and Android Pay is being tested on it​
The rollout of Android Wear 2.0 has brought about a couple of interesting tidbits, including what we find to be a massive new piece of information about the original Huawei Watch: it has NFC.
The original Huawei Watch, which is set to receive it’s Android Wear 2.0 update soon, will be getting an additional piece of functionality in that an update will soon enable a dormant NFC chip in the watch.
In a statement to Ausdroid, Huawei has confirmed that the original Huawei Watch does have NFC, with Android Pay functionality currently in testing by the Android team at Google. The update to enable Android Pay on the original Huawei Watch may not go live straight away with the update to Android Wear 2.0, with a time-frame of Q3 given for the Android Pay functionality to go live.
The statement was given alongside confirmation that the Hauwei Watch 2, which will launch in Australia later this year alongside the Huawei P10 also has NFC built-in with support for Android Pay, but that support is functional out of the box.
The original Huawei Watch is still one of our favourite Android Wear watches available here at Ausdroid, and they’re getting cheaper as the launch of the Huawei Watch 2 approaches. In terms of functionality, it’s a massive step forward for owners of the original Huawei Watch.

Just got a answer from HuaweiGermany.. the Huawei Watch definitly don´t has NFC built-in.. so more speculations about this and Android Pay are not neccessary

Ausdroid is neither an official nor a reliable source. Huawei Watch does not have a NFC compatible hardware... its hardware has already been analyzed long time ago and though MSM8926 processor on some units migh have NFC support it doesn't have other hardware components required to use it.

AFAIK, they said the same thing about the speaker. I'm still skeptical, however.

Calm down.. It was planned for march, but delayed because of an new bug.. they are actually optimizing the new bug-free AW 2.0.. it should be available in few days, an employee from HuaweiGermany told me
still hoping, but reality says no...
Yeah, sure would be nice, however it's highly un probable.
then there is this: http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-watch-nfc-nope
It could explain why is taking too much time to release the update. I have latest preview version in my watch and is working fine.

Oreo update starts rolling out today!

Good news guys Looks like Google is giving us treats for the holiday season.
https://www.gsmarena.com/android_wear_devices_to_get_oreo_update_starting_today-news-28614.php
I'm guessing that every watch that is supported by AW2.0 will also be getting Oreo update. Yes, original Huawei watch is already beyond the 2 year support period but i don't think that the same rules goes for watches like it's usually the case with phones. Do you think original HW will be getting Oreo? I mean, we got new security update some days ago so it's still supported
I hope so,waiting for the update in a month.
In comments on articles about this, people have been reporting even the original Moto 360 is already getting this. I'm not sure the relationship between android version and android wear code but maybe it's pretty easy to merge the Oreo updates with the manufacturer's code now that they are on AW 2.0.

The original moto 360 never even made it to android wear 2.0, so I highly doubt it is getting this update.

The fact that we got a security update doesn't mean much. There were some pretty high profile vulnerabilities that needed patching (KRACK, etc.).

I accidentally installed AW 1.4 but received updates to update so now I'm on AW 2.6 A7.1.1 october patch
Don't expect it for this device.

That sucks :/ I kinda knew this would happen eventhough i was optimistic and hopeful that Huawei Watch still gets it. So, it's finally the end of software support for our beloved original HW **** you, you ugly ass HW2!
Can someone explain this End Of Life situation though...? The Huawei Watch is STILL on sale via Huawei's direct website! Surely they shouldn't be selling a watch without providing the software support seriously!? I thought the deal was 2 years after the device goes on sale or 18 months after it stops being on sale (whichever is longer).
I think this statement needs to be reiterated to Huawei and Google.
Also I bought the watch thinking the support life would be alot longer than a phone... People don't buy +£200 watches for only 2 years usage.
This "policy" may have just made me decide that I'm not interested in Android Wear anymore... Even my Pixel 2 will have a longer shelf life!
EOL is not here yet, just no Oreo. This is near the bottom of the article.
Some of the watches dropped from support include the ASUS ZenWatch 2 and 3, the original Fossil Q Founder, the LG G Watch R/Urbane/Urbane LTE, the second-gen Moto 360 and 360 Sport, and the original Huawei Watch. Those watches will continue to get Android Wear updates (like the recent v2.6 update) through the Play Store, but the underlying Android version will be stuck on Nougat.

The only one for the HW1 is discontinued. The dev's watch died and Huawei gave him a watch 2. If another dev steps up, yes, but since there was only one and that dev does not plan to continue.
The thing is I only love the look of HV1 watch. Most stylish. There is no other V2 watch out there that comes close.
I have a Huawei Mate 10 running Oreo so it's a shame my watch won't match my phone.
Custom ROMs are our only hope now!

Well actually, just staying on wear 2 isn't a bad option, it still works wonderfully.
I agree. The more that Huawei Watch (1) is still officially on sale and is more expensive in stores than Huawei Watch 2.
I've made a post on their Swedish FB-site, here in Sweden it is still actively sold by two of Huawei's recommended resellers advertised at Huawei's site.
Can we figure out if the 18 months after sale claim is valid for Wear as well as regular Android? And was this formulated before or after the launch of the Watch?
I spoke to Huawei Technical Service. They do not have anywhere indicated that they provide support for 18 months from purchase / production. They claim that it depends on Google - not from them. They do not guarantee anything
It's a pity, because I have their P9 Plus smartphone and Watch 1 smartwatch and I think it makes the highest-class flagship.

No Android Pie for Moto G5+ and rest of the G5 series. WIll you still trust Motorola?

Source: https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
One of the few reasons i buy a Motorola was quick android updates. Motorola actually promised Android Oreo and Android P when it comes out for this phone. 1 year later still there is no specific date for Oreo update. While i unlocked the phone long ago and updated it to 8.1 via custom ROMS i still paid for software support which was included in the phones cost. . If possible we can start a petition on change.org ( Which will be useless as motorola anyway treats their customers as trash) Share your thoughts
Firstly, Motorola is out of its minds. They should first give an update to Oreo and then speak of Pie. Nokia and many other devices that launched long after last year's Moto G series are already running Oreo from months. Lenovo took Motorola from Google and turned it into ****.
Secondly, Motorola said that their devices would get only one major Android update, so I'm fine with it. But what's troubling is the amount of time they're taking for it. Having said this, finally I'd like to add that though Moto devices have suffered on the software side in Lenovo's hands, I didn't find any shortcomings even on nougat and didn't really feel like needing an update. My phone gets all the things done. The only thing that I miss is a 64 bit architecture that'd allow me to gain access to portrait mode on Google camera and make the device future proof, as Google will remove all the 32 bit apps from the play store soon. The only reason I still prefer to buy the Moto devices is the XDA community. But if Moto continues releasing 32 bit os on a 64 bit chipset, then I may as well go for Mi devices because they get excellent XDA support too.
Short Answer: No
Long Answer:
I only ever bought a Moto phone because it was cheap. While I usually don't care for the latest and the greatest in neither software or hardware (still rockin a IPod Touch 4th gen) How Moto is treating it's customers is awful.
I know all about planned obsolescence, but this seems like a new level. Purposely delaying a promised software patch for your flagship until after your new flagship comes out (that conveniently ships with the promised software from the last one, mind you) Then maybe focusing on bringing that software to the old phone. Waiting just long enough to make sure everyone buys the new one.
If you don't believe me, this will probably happen again with the G6/Plus/Z/Z Play. The Android P update will get delayed and delayed until, eventually, a new Android is released. And, surprise, along with it, a new flagship that you will inevitably force people to buy while promising the new software.
It's a circle, people.
Motorola might be a good company before lenovo bought it .. But now OMG ..now i think why in the f****ing hell i chose Lenovo's Motorola ...FFS ...Everything about it's Software side is so **** !!\
So i don't think it's even worth it .. they won't change!!
I have owned and used the Moto G2, G3, G4, and now the G5+. The same complaints have been posted in these forums with every device. Personally, I don't care about upgrades to new versions of Android. As long as my phone performs well, which it does and is reliable, which it is I am content. My G5+ does everything well that I want it to do and then some. So I have no complaints.
As far as what I buy in the future, I will make that decision when the time comes. And yes, I will consider Motorola's latest offerings.
Motorola told us last year the Moto G line will get 1 major OS update.
And Oreo is being tested so just be patient or flash a custom rom.
They never promised Android P for the phone, only Android Oreo
For those saying Lenovo kileed motorola, Google was going to kill Motorola and Lenovo saved it, so stop blaming them, Motorola was a dead company
I wanted a device that was reasonably priced, close to stock, good developer community. I think I got that. So potter's not getting Pie? It wasn't promised, so there's no issue of 'trust' there. Oreo? Well OK that's late as anything. I did know at the time I bought it that Motorola was now slow to update. I bought mine around September last year, and was surprised when it auto-updated to I think the August patch. Since then, software updates have been patchy (pun intended).
Another consideration is in NZ, there's only a handful of open network phones available. Motorola, Oppo, Huawei, and you might find a few others if you're willing to go to parallel import shops etc. So with that in mind, it kinda makes the choice obvious for me. Nokia? In NZ they're network-specific, and on a network that I don't use. So yeah, I'll stick with Motorola. G6 Plus is available for us, which is a good thing. Although, I'll hang onto this for a couple of years, so I'd likely skip the Gen 6 motos.
