The watch prompted me - whole thing took less 5 minutes. Can't find any proof (or even suggestion) that wifi is available. The first notification was "Swipe to see what's new" ... and there was only 1 page of new to swipe through.

1. Why didn't you pull the OTA link damn you?!
2. Check the watch's setting menu. If Wifi is not there then it's not enabled.
I got it aswell, no wifi options in the settings...

Curious: do you have cloud sync turned on in the Wear app on your phone?
Cloud Sync Was Off
I thought I said yes when it prompted me ... last month... but it was off. Just turned if on.
No wifi in settings.
And the "up" options page (swipe down from watchface) has the flat tire. What? Did I want a 360?
Rebooted - still no wifi in settings
And that's that. We don't have Wifi enabled by LG. Next is to see if it can be enabled in another way (ROM, kernel, etc.).
I feel deceived by lg.
Future proof device my a*s
Announced as a Wi-Fi capable device and then the update doesn't bring the feature. That's a no more lg to me. I will write to complain. This was the most expensive smartwatch and the only one that ever mentioned WiFi on the release.
why I dont have the update yet ? im in the uk.
I'm in Portugal and no update yet too!

What's the point of it anyway, the code won't be much different and most likely will drain battery for no apparent reason and since there's no wifi in this update...
f*cking lg mate, is this [email protected]?!? no wifi ?! this is bullf*cking**** ! I knew it ! I knew I shouldnt buy a f*cking LG !! This company has always been **** ! how could I buy this product... im so stupidddd
No update yet on my side. San Antonio, TX.
So no wifi? No biggie. I have survived without it before, so nothing has changed. Does it bug me that it's on the Urbane and not the GWR? At first, yes, because it was told to us. But thinking about it. I am "meh" about the wifi thing in general. I don't think wifi would have changed my way of doing things on the watch. I am still wearing it. I am not going tot sell it. My GWR still functions, I love my watchfaces. The battery life lasts as long as I do during the day. So I say it's still a win. We are still getting updates. Now it would be another issue if we weren't getting the update lol.

The thing is I couldn't have cared about the wifi at all either, but when I think about it's just going to open a window to not update the device further in the future, as it "doesn't have a feature set required for an update" or whatever bull**** they can come up with.

Does it say "Wifi Support" or "Wifi Capable" ANYWHERE on the box of your watch? No? Then you have no right to complain. Seriously, people, you knew what you were buying. Stop giving LG crap about it. While I agree that it's a bad move on their part to say the hardware doesn't support it, they are in NO way obligated to give us a feature they didn't advertise.

According to LG Portugal, the device presented at IFA 2014 was a prototype and not GWR... what to me is a BIG LIE! That kind of lie that its made to silence people!
Im angry ...I am angry cuz I was cheated in a way that no one should be ! I paid so much money for this watch only because they SAID there is WIFI and I NEED THE WIFI ... I cannot take my phone to places with me ..only way to check my mails, messages etc was to have a device with WIFI that can sync with my phone during the time I cannot have my phone with me ...this was SAID by LG and they cheated me ...I dont like that ...
if my watch realy dont have WIFI after the update I will return this product and will never ever ever buy LG again... cheap cheating !

Hey, breathe a little. LG confirmed to Android Police Wi-Fi may or may not come to the LG G Watch R after all.
Android Police Article said:
LG has confirmed to us that the G Watch R may or may not get Wi-Fi in a future update. At this time, LG is unable to commit to a yes or no answer. According to LG, additional certification and other work is needed before Wi-Fi can be activated on the G Watch R, and they're unsure if it's going to be possible to get past these roadblocks.

Besides, if you wait just a few days, there will most likely be ways to cross-flash a kernel (and possibly firmware blobs) to enable Wi-Fi on the GWR, since they're basically the same watch. So wait and see, I'm not too worried myself.
So is this thread about the 5.1.1 update for the GWR, or yet another ***** session about the watch not having Wi-Fi? There are already multiple threads covering that topic.

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..

First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
Hello everyone, new on this forum. wanted to say hello.
I own an LG O2X and suffer from almost all of the problems the rest of you mentioned.
I've been following the threads for some time now. Hope LG fixes this phone soon because as for now everyone I show the new phone to doesn't understand "what's so good about it?" LOL
i'm a happy one
have had O2X for a week now, and am pretty happy with it. but it is my first android, and i'm running MCR/Fear edition.
the only thing that i am missing is wi-fi calling (uma), which is only stock-installed in G2X.

Why can't you use skype instead? Or is it not the same?
Ive had mine for about a month now and cant fault it in anyway, compaired it against my old desire and friends iphones and it's on top without a doubt.
Gingerbread will be rolling out in the next couple of weeks i would of thought which will make it even better ;-)
I have it since yesterday and no problems so far, its lightning fast but I like the looks of my arc more. Still in doubt which one will be my daily phone, I like them both.

I didn't look into Skype, because my wife (with regular cell phone) can't reach me on Skype (free account), unless they provide free incoming call number.
I prefer (1) UMA/GAN, (2) Google voice/Talkatone-like app on android, and (3) other SIP, but that's just me. Beside, I think any T-Mobile user should be able to use UMA/GAN via app.
I have a feeling that eventually telephone/cell-phone will migrate to IP based protocol, and service providers will become merely data provider. The question is when and if they will be willing to. I'm sure there will be issues and reluctance. I read somewhere and Verizon is looking into voice over IP (or a name similar to that), to enable "talk and surf at the same time" like GSM can. Now I'm babbling.... Anyhow, CM7 might have already included UMA/GAN. I just need to test it when I have a chance.

Upgrade to version D
Hi there!
Did the upgrade to version D about a week ago. Still had issues with reboots from the first day so I did a hard reset to factory default.
You'd think things would improve!!!
Within 24 hours it started rebooting again. This time in a continuous loop. Even a battery pull couldn't stop it. Had to do a hard reset again. Naturally lost everything on it.
Have now asked Phones4u for a replacement. They've been very helpful. Even extended the return period. I reckon they know the 'phones has issues. Waiting for the replacement.
SO 'NO' THE VERSION D UPGRADE DOESN'T FIX THE REBOOTING PROBLEM!!!
I've been using XDA/HTC branded 'phones since 2002 and have NEVER had any issues with them.
If the replacement has the same problem I'll be asking Phones4u for non LG phone replacement.
In the meantime I'm using my trusty old HD2 to with a HTC Desire HD rom
http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/...orlds-first-dual-core-phone-necessitating-an/
Great stuff - the more coverage the better .
Nice! I just posted both today's articles on the Facebook page of LG Germany (http://www.facebook.com/LG). Let's see how much longer LG can remain silent about it.
heard from LG today who told me the update/fix was now available and gave me a link to their support page.
I checked my phone and it says i'm already up to date with v10D
yes - it seems that LG in all their "wisdom" still have no clue and beleive the earlier released baseband update would fix these problems - which it doesnt.
I have heard others in different parts of the world receive the same answer regarding the update.
Actually my mom's phone was almost problem free on EURO OPEN 10b. I updated it to Bulgaria 10D and she told me that the phone had shut off. I updated with EURO OPEN 10C and again it's problemless
So the update thats supposed to fix the problems is the 10D-update? If thats the case I'm throwing this POS away and never gonna look at another LG-thing again. That means throwing my TV out aswell.
Seems like LG gives two ****s about this issue and hey, why would they? They already got my money.
I have contacted BBC News tonight as maybe they can run story on the tech page?
Maybe if others emailed them too, they will be more willing to run it.
I copied the link to this http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...reboot-problem
and told them basic's.

Believe it our not, but v10D makes it worse. Our phone now has the charging freeze going more. Before v10D we didn't have that.
LG can go to hell. I have "upgraded" my wife's phone to an Incredible S until this **** is sorted.

My phone has been v10b (i gather it is a uk version of v10d) from the day i purchased it, which is almost over a month ago, phone shut off only a couple of times and rebooted once, may be twice till a week ago. Since a week ago it started rebooting almst every day once, mostly in the mornings. So can‘t see how that could be a fix.

Yeah but with that watch you can't read text messages, missed calls and stuff like that.
With the Liveview you can and it's a steal at that price.
The MBW-200 is still too expensive !
this may not have something to do with the deal, but since it's about liveview...
guys, i just updated mine to the latest firmware available via Sony Update Service, but I still have disconnection problems. is that suppose to happen? any solutions?
i saw a number of posts about fixing the issue by using an app called MinFree, but aren't those tutorials intended for the old software of LiveView?
and lastly, since the issue is about android killing the liveview app, will converting it to system app solve the problem?

There was another app that was not on the market that was free it also worked well. I dont have my phone with me right now but when I find the app I will let you know. Did the above app not work?
Thanks for the time helping out an "accessory noob" guy jgregory! Nope I didn't try that app yet. Apparently my unit is kinda working good now after the firmware update. It has been connected already for an hour without disconnection, only some type of freezing on the device that forces me to turn off and on again the devicE. But it's really rare now. I'm gonma do an overnight conmection test, see if it disconnects while I'm asleep.
These accessories are actually on sale in our country. Yesterday I bought MW600 despite negative reviews, but I'm actually impressed with the headset. It has good battery life. 4 hours into music and the battery indicator is still at full. I just hope it doesn't go into some sort of cardiac arrest like most reviews talk about.
I'm happy that the LiveView can control the music on my phone using PowerAmp whilst using the MW600 simultaneously.
These accessories are so cool!

Oh jeez I don't know why. Must be because some disrespectful kid was bugging me and dropping crap on me via PM and I reported him and the mods interfered. Maybe you could try again.
Anyway, what messaging app are you using? I'm using GOSMS but apparently LiveView doesn't support it
I don't use the stock messaging app because it looks worse than a command prompt window. Haha. Any workaround you know of?

I don't use the stock messaging app because it looks worse than a command prompt window. Haha. Any workaround you know of?

After so many years:l, so strange:
It's T800XXU1CVG1/T800OXA1CVG1
what's new
Gps stability had been improved
That's it.
I'm going in, wish me luck
I got that too - a little suspicious. How was it? Did you do a security scan after?
Got it late at night I thought I was dreaming haha.
Installed it, haven't noticed anything different so far, though of course it's not my main tablet anymore so I don't use it as much as I used to.

This update scares me and more with Samsung... Could you tell me how it works since you updated it? Especially the battery that could well be that Samsung has sent it to kill it hahaha

No change whatsoever. Battery life is terrible but just like before. It's the original battery so you get the idea.
Thanks for the comments. I got this update a few weeks ago as well and kept postponing it. I mean, it's great that Samsung pushes updates after all this time, but the changelog is utterly useless: it's the same generic description that came with a similarly unexpected update a year or so ago, so it's impossible to tell what it will _really_ do to your device. My friends joked it's probably a mercy kill.
So yeah, I can't help but feel somewhat suspicious -- especially when you see a "GPS stability update" 2 years in a row in an 8 year old device. It almost seems like the changelog is copy-pasted from a template and designed to convince people into just installing whatever. Who wouldn't want more stable GPS, right?
Anyway, may as well do it. If it installs ads or something, I suppose I can always switch to a free / open system instead.
very likely the only change Samsung did was to GPS, to address GPS week number rollover

Hahaha, your friends know well what Samsung is capable of doing... I still haven't installed the gps update, I have installed greenify without root but with the paid version that allows me to force stop system apps and so on with a touch I don't get that update so many times anymore. My Tab S 8.4 I changed the battery 4 years ago (New power 99) for 60e and I still get 8 hours of screen watching netflix 100% of the time. I'm worried about one thing... how long will netflix continue to support this fabulous tablet?
