Wear update screwed up the watch

I got the latest update to the wear app and after was getting delayed notifications. Decided to try reseting the watch and now it's not installing any apps to the watch and the watch is heating up and dying quickly. I've reset the watch again, cleared out the data and uninstalling android wear and reinstalled and it does the same thing I went from line 80% battery to 26% in like a half hour. Anyone have any thoughts
Edit: also the watch is stock no root or anything

Yup, I just updated. Lost 10% battery in the last 20 minutes. Something is not right.

I'm not seeing this, but it does show that Google really needs to have a way of reapplying an update and/or reverting back. This can be done via ADB sideload for phones/tablets, and we need an equivalent for AW. (This may already exist, but I'm just not aware of it... at least not an official way.)

There's an update to the Wear app in the Play Store now.

Is this another update newer than the one on the Play Store with a date of 07 Sept? Or are you talking about that one?

Oh, I think it's the 07 Oct one, version 1.0.2.1476973. I didn't see it until this morning (8 Oct Singapore time). No issues with it thus far.

Yeah me too. Just updated. App didn't force close or anything and watch seems to be the same still. Dropped 2% after update though -.-

The Oct 7 wear update just crashes on my Moto X. Had to uninstall and reinstall the older verwion from titanium backup. It did that with the earlier release too, I think it's date was Oct 3. There is something wrong somewhere.

Well after a recharge and another reset along with deleting all wear app data and uninstalling it and removing the 360 from the Bluetooth menu it synced and send ok again today. Plus the original slow notification issue is gone now too. Now if they'd just give be an option to show the step card less often is be set

Hi, same situation here on Droid Mini.
Can you send me your backup for older Wear?
Thanks

heres the apk before the update, uninstall updated app and install this one.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28511905/com.google.android.wearable.app-1.apk

The new release today (1.0.2.1534065 Oct 23) doesn't seem to fix the problem either. Both of the most recent updates cause this issue for me:
Android Wear 1.0.2.1534065 (current, Oct 23 release) Google Play or apkmirror
Android Wear 1.0.2.1476973 (Oct 6 release) apkmirror
Work arounds I've unsuccessfully tired so far:
Install/re-install, clearing Android Wear data & cache
Removed all other Wear apps
Cleared data & cache from Google Play Services
Factory reset Moto 360
Switched from ART to Dalvik & back
Direct install of v1.0.2.15 and v1.0.2.14
Upgrade from functioning v1.0.1.13 to v1.0.2.15 and to v1.0.2.14
Even tried to re-enable all of the pre-installed Moto bloat I had previously frozen
Multiple combinations of the above, with reboots between steps
I can, however, still use the older version of the Android Wear app without issue:
Android Wear 1.0.1.1379611 (Oct 2 release) apkmirror
Anyone with any other suggestions?

You can turn the step cards off. That's what I did. When u receive one. Just swipe until u get to settings and turn it off.

New firmware B192

It's installing right now. The changelog only mentions Google patches.

Android security patch is on 5 november 2017 level.

The bluetooth security bug has been resolved, the WIFI security bug (KRACK) not yet. I didn't find any problems after updating.

I just got this phone a couple days ago & indeed,had three updates awaiting to be d/l & installed.
I had the Mate 9 earlier this year,so,most of what's on-board is familiar.
Not a single glitch/stutter/etc... the WI-FI is probably the best I've used to date,very quick to connect.
The extra RAM almost seems overkill,but,I like having those type of "problems",LOL.
Gonna go OT for a moment:
Are you stock,or rooted/ROM?
If the latter,would you be so kind as to post or PM links on bootloader unlock/TWRP/root/ROM?
THX! :good:

I'm on stock

Do any of you guys use Barclays?
After updating, mine is not working with any Barclays apps because they're saying it's rooted
Also, it keeps asking to authorise my car Bluetooth access to the contacts - and I have to do this 3 or 4 times, it never remembers the answer (even when I tick the box)
Any replies will be appreciated!!

I don't use Barclays. No problems when connecting to my car system, contact transfer fine.

Question Quick Switch Adapter

Can anyone tell me details of what can be transferred from an old phone to a new P6P using the provided quick switch adapter? Can it transfer all apps and their data or only the ones with Google backup capability?
Thanks in advance!

The "ordinary" transfer won't restore your app settings, like your passwords/logins/in-app data.
Google One Backup is supposed to do that, even though it never worked for me. In the end I had to use swiftbackup whilst having root to have a decent backup/transfer experience.
--
There is some sort of auto-login system that some apps support, so Google logs you in automatically into the app once you first open them after transfering all your stuff, but that has nothing to do with the transfer/backup. Sadly, only very few apps support that.

Thank you, that's what I was afraid of. I can't believe that Google doesn't want to create a proper backup or transfer solution. So bad. I guess SwiftBackup it is...

Been into android since the T-Mobile G1 days and I'm a firm believer in setting up a new phone from scratch. Did my wifes from her OnePlus 7 Pro and the screen would freeze every 4-6 hors. Did a FDR and it's been running great for the last 3 days. Your always going to get bits and pieces from the last OS that don't belong on your new OS when transferring from another phone.

This makes more and more sense now a days!

Google wants to sell the cloud as much as possible. I restore GoogleOne backups from the cloud and I'm usually satisfied with the results.
I used to start from scratch but I stopped at some point several years ago. I just want my phone to work the way I'm used to. I don't use the stock launcher anyway, I use Nova Launcher Prime. Later on, I integrate elements from the new Android version and widgets/capabilities into my current Nova setup.

I never used the quick switch adapter and Google's transfer tool. I always root my phone and use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. Although, on Android 12, I think I'm gonna go for Swift Backup which I've heard good things about!
I'm still using my 4 XL for now, not sure if I want to jump on the 6 Pro with an unofficial alpha version of Magisk :/

I'd advise you to wait at least for the first or second rollout of bug fixes if you are keen on root, as of now there are a lot of software quirks that might be firmware related; if you root now, upgrading to the next monthly update might be a nightmare. As far as I can see right now, every successful root requires a full factory reset (not the bootloader unlock reset!). And every "update" will aswell (maybe the community will find a way around that, but we don't know right now).

100% on board with this. Whenever I clean flash (new phone or new OS update) I start from scratch. Download or sideload all my apps anew. Takes several hours to set up but well worth it in the long run.

Yeah, I've been reading as much as I can about root and it's not super fun right now. It remains to be seen if we can update monthly without wiping. Otherwise, that would be a MAJOR pita.
I'm gonna be traveling in about 2 weeks and I was hoping to bring my 6 Pro with me. My 4 XL is perfectly fine but not sure the battery will last while traveling. We'll see.

General New Play System Update

Just had a new Play System Update 55mb. I'm now on Nov 1 instead of the August 1 after the last update.
https://imgur.com/a/yknsVGp

Same here.

Still on September. Won't find any update.
There is no way to force/sideload this, right?

@m1ckbr1t
Thanks for the heads up.
I have been checking a couple of times per week to update to the November patch, but I hadn't checked since Wednesday last week; I didn't realize the update was there until I saw your post

I went from Nov. 5 to Nov. 1

I got that update yesterday. My phone rebooted after it downloaded. Did the reboot happen to anyone else.

I thought the phone had rebooted yesterday but wasn't sure. This explains it.
I am on Nov 5.
But Google needs to fix bugs, not just security updates. Like the camera overprocessing, the screwy 4x zoom which is not used at times when chosen by the user, the sub-optimum battery, and the constant requests for PIN instead of FPS, or unlocking with a trusted device.

have you guys seen this page. I dunno what to think anymore. the hype around Pixels is such a weird thing. I get that there are bugs (and I've had a few glitches) but none of the bugs I've had are even listed here:

When the phone fails to read your Fingerprint (something along the lines of three or four times in a row), it automatically blocks/deactivates the FPS, until you unlock it with your TO KNOW security measure (in your case PIN).
I had it happen to me a couple of times over the course of this month, and it was a tad too annoying to shrug off. I definitely miss my old P4 Faceunlock, never bothered me (except when I wore masks, lel).

I had it as well ... was on Nov 1, update, reboot and still on Nov 1 ...
Note there are two things: (a) security update (Nov 5 in my case) and (b) Play-systemupdate (Nov 1 in my case).
See screenshot.

When I manually checked for a Play System update just now, it told me my update was over 600 MB! Sorry, no screenshot.

Yes, I have the Unlocked (and rooted) 512 GB model, using on AT&T. Maybe it hadn't checked for any Play System updates since I rooted - since I waited to root (and disable verity and verification, and flash the stock firmware and wipe) until just a week and a half ago (I think).
I confirm it now says November 1. Thank goodness Settings has search and I'm also glad it remembers my last several searches in settings, even after a reboot.

You do realize that Google Play system update (Settings > About phone > Android version > Google Play system update) is different from the monthly security patch (Settings > System > System update), right?

Excellent, because judging by some of the posts here that's not quite universal.
In case anyone is still confused:
Monthly patch - Nov 5
Google Play system Update - Nov 1

any noticeable changes? I'm asked to reboot... but I rather not until the next system update

Faking Android Update for Work

Hello!
I just got an email from my very large company's IT department saying that I will no longer be able to use my google workplace apps because I my S9 has Android 10 and they no longer compare security patches.
The problem is that I've been waiting until the S23 comes out in January or February. I'm not experienced with flashing rooms etc., but can follow most instructions. Is there a way to put Android 11 (or later) on my phone without losing all my data/settings/apps or somehow fake that I have the update until the new phone comes out? Many thanks in advance.
