Active 2 new features - Samsung Galaxy Watch

I was suggested to me to get the active 2 for the new fitness features back in February because of the ECG. I received the updates on my watch last night for the new features. I couldn't fine the app for the life of me so I looked it up. One site suggested that in order to have these new features I would have to have a compatible Samsung phone to get these. Just trying to get a confirmation that I would have to change phones. I have a LG v30 at the moment with no want to upgrade as I am still paying on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks. I got it installed.

I will join the topic, because I cannot see pictures in threads when getting msg on fb..do you guys have the same problem the newest tizen update?

I was able to get the ecg installed right off with no problems. I am not going to install bp as bp lab that I have been using for the last 6 months has been working without issues. But when I use ecg it mostly will not read my finger but when it does...5% of the time...it just shows solid vertical lines like it is completely glitching out and always stops after 5 seconds.

Do you have any case or protector on?
If not, then many others reported a malfunctioning ecg reader, so the best bet would be to get it repaired from your nearest samsung Service center.

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.

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

Huawei Watch - Android Wear 1.4 Update

The Huawei Watch Update to Android Wear 1.4 will start next monday, 29th.
The update will bringt some new features, especially the support for the build in speaker. Referring to latest information it will be possible to listen to Spotify offline playlists with the Watch. There will be also a new reminder and a keyboard.
I'm rellay looking forward to the update!
Edit link is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65606670&postcount=97
Source: Huaweiblog.de
I'll believe it when I see (and hear it) myself on my wrist.
At this point people have had to wait quite a while for the update with very little news from Huawei.
God help us to see it!
it "starts" on Monday but Huawei have not detailed the update roadmap (which countries first etc..)....

Really? All the other watches to update so far don't even get the full benefit of the update because they don't have a speaker. I'd much rather have a well tested update that I don't have to worry about rather than the bricking mess that Moto is going through right now.

He'd rather have his "unicorn" moto 360 2nd gen since his (supposedly the one he is going get) is the only one in existence with a speaker in it.
Seriously though, if you truly aren't happy with a product, and you (as in everyone in general) aren't going to give constructive criticism, it's better to move on than to stay and spread nothing but negativity :good:

get ready for that new awesome fake always on mode... your watch display will be turned off after some time, even if you wear your watch
I realy love the watch without speaker. When i bought it i have no ideea that next update will bring speaker support. I think thats a briliant ideea to buy a product and after month and month when its getting old redescover same old product and love it again with a new feature. You wait long for update from google or huawei? U shoud see samsung users how long they have to wait for an update. Google just confirm speaker suport few month ago. Last year it was just rumoors never confirm. I am just curios how loud is the speaker.

I do believe he is referring to DOZE feature that turns off even ambient mode after a while if it senses it is not worn. OR the wake-up gesture that will be seconded by the "sleep" gesture where you lay your hand next to body and watch is put in ambient/screen off.

Thats the problem. It even turns the display off if you wear the watch.
Actually, I find it pretty neat and it already works for me in the current firmware. When I fall asleep on the couch with my watch on the wrist I wake up with it having display off. The same happens when you leave your watch on the table unattended. It works quite consistently as I never experience this "doze" mode when working at the desk or moving in general.
That's true. I also noticed this a few times when it's just on the desk, it turns off after 2 hours of non-movement

Is the display turned off only when you wear the watch during sleep or is it turned off in general?
I know that the display is turned off after a while when you put the watch on the desk, but that's not new, that's already the case.

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.

Finger Print update notification on samsung members

Hi.
I just saw notification on samsung members that they will push patch update to our galaxy phones which will somehow resolve the fingerprint issue with protector and covers.
Any idea when it is coming?
Screenshot is attached.
Hard to say, maybe in November
Yes but as pee their notification, chances are that we may get it next week.
Received it 3 days ago on my BTU SM-N976B, so you shouldn't have to long a wait I'd guess.
Tsskkk.. That's if providers don't get involved. Just like the October update, that was supposed to be very important, and was released a couple weeks ago, add always, providers ruin the flow.
It's been said for years, but Samsung needs to push all updates, and not let the providers get involved(yes, not realistic, but we're can all dream the dream), add all they do is slow down and mess up things..

Am I the only one that hates the Samsung Members app?? Only notice I see is about using USB-C headphones... That's all I've ever seen.. Blah!
Finally got the fingerprint update notification. Installed and loving it. The delay time from finger touch and opening the phone is much faster. Still not as fast but speed is so much improved.
I wonder if they can further increase the rate of which the screen pops open to make it seem faster?

I got a firmware update for the usb-c and biometrics update today. Fingerprint seems more accurate and faster. I couldn't user it before the update due to too many no matches.
I'm on Verizon and bought the phone through them. Seems Samsung is sending these updates to everyone directly.

Its probably a notification for the galaxy store since i disabled all other samsung apps. It updates the fingerprint apk. Its not a system update from my t-mobile carrier.
Just got my biometric security update. Pushed to my phone directly. I'm on Verizon but wife hasn't got her update yet on her Note 10 also on Verizon.
Edit: Wife got her Note 10 update moments after I posted.
Just got mine in Indonesia. Comes through as 4.2MB biometric update on the notification shade.

YOU CAN NOT ROLL BACK TO PREVIOUS OS VERSIONS!!
Yup. Received a feature update yesterday with camera improvements on my U1. Then got this update this morning. It's just a security patch BUT PLEASE NOTE!!! This moves you up to bootloader v2. You can NOT roll back to previous versions.
This also tells me the Android 10 beta will have a v2 bootloader when it's pushed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to install it.

In my experience, about every two weeks, the FP sensor gets mega wonky and won't recognize my prints. So I have to re-enter them. Then it works like butter, but slowly degrades in performance for a couple weeks until it's wonky again.
I've got 4 updates on my Note 10+ in the 7 weeks I've had it. Never had so many updates on a device in such a short time and I own a OP6T and P2XL
Maybe we'll be getting Android 10 with One UI 2.0 before the new year. It definitely seems companies are finally pushing updates like they should. We pay a lot of money for these devices so it's good to know they are being supported better these days.

They roll out in waves but certain regions seem to get priority over others...
Kinda sucks balls being on the end of the list and waiting 2 months for an update or feature the forums are all talking about a month or 2 in advance....
Even worse when a security threat is found and we are stuck in limbo wondering if we are gonna get an update soon to fix that which has been found...

Hey, Butchie. I may have to try that. Been getting frustrated with it. Id say it's my Whitestone Dome screen protector, but literally when I first register the prints, it works smooth as butter. Couple weeks later and it's like it doesn't recognize my prints at all.

Plenty of copies around. Venom has one posted on androidfilehost. Sammobile has one. They are present and handy. In fact, flash the csc from it AfTER you are on the beta to get back your carrier features.
