Next Android Wear update will bring interactive watch faces & GWR WIFI Update!!! - LG G Watch R

Lastly, if you happen to own an LG G Watch R, you’ll be happy to know that the upcoming update does enable WiFi capability. After the Android 5.1.1 update, many LG G Watch R owners were quite upset to find out that their watch was left out of the WiFi upgrade. LG later stated that a future update would add the functionality. It looks like the next OTA update will keep LG to their promise by finally enabling WiFi..

States in the first paragraph of the linked article:
Google originally scheduled the launch for July 28th, though we’re hearing the timeline has shifted to sometime in August.

Welp, its the 28th and I've got nothing on my end so far. I'm guessing August for sure haha

Its now August 10th and still nothing.

Yes still no news...

Awesome! Good thing i'll be awake haha Wonder what else they might announce?

I received the update for Android Wear today and it doesn't seem to change anything to the GWR. My watch is still the same since I bought it.

Do you guys suggest moving back to the stock ROM from LeeDroid's one, so we can get the OTA?

Is everyone on 5.1.1 via an OTA update? I just got my GWR yesterday and it refuses to update, even after factory resetting at least 8 times. I'm still on 4.4. Several months ago I had a Samsung Gear Live, which received the 5.1.1 update on the first day.

I think they paused the update because the new one is on its way. There's talk, the new update is coming later today, so they will probably update all the watches then.

From what I've been reading the Android Wear 1.3 update should be rolling out over the coming weeks.

Got to admit.. I didn't get a little excited as this thing has sucked lately

The update bricked my watch. I noticed it wasn't connecting with my phone so I reset device. Now it won't boot beyond the LG logo. Accessing the recovery mode of the bootloader did nothing. Still progressed to the logo and then died.
I received update too, installed it successfully, I feel watch smoother but I don't know if it is due to cleaned cache etc.

That could also be an option. But none of the supported devices have a July update. So guess that isnt the case.
I think they maybe not working today. Just a few more months and then the monthly wait for a update is over..then no more official updates for the nexus 6

Yes. the last update will be in October.
Every update I've compared the new system files with the previous version. Only a few files changed.
No updates ..... it's the start of a quiet period.
Time to give a look to a new device. I am keeping an eye on the Plus One 5.

Since decryption and debloating it's a very fast phone. Will keep it a while.
The only disadvantage is the round back. On table/desk, input is not easy when the phone is spinning.

OP5 is sexy but still not worth
The only disadvantage imho is the soon no longer software support, but I don't really know what it really involves as security patches are not quite safer. (critical breaches will always be updated as XP was with wannacry)

Never had a problem with the round back. Using a case and always lay it on table on its front, since the case is closed no problm with scratches on the screen.
Phone is debloated too. But even without debloating it runs fine and for me fast enough.
Think it is usually about the 5 or 6 th of month released if any.
July update is live now for nexus 6.
Got it! sideloaded ...............okay so far
same bootloader and radio.
just sideloaded the OTA

Anyone notice anything really different in this release? Or just the security update?

An update on the new version, my first attempt at flashing N6F27H from the Factory Image (not OTA) ended up with the CPU running at 100% nearly all of the time with no Deep Sleep seen. I just reflashed the Factory Image for N6F27H again and I'll update whether the results are the same or better this time.

OREO IS COMING! and it's 8.1(official) for g5s+

https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS129979
Any info about 64bit/32bit?
moto g5s plus
This device will be upgraded to the Android 8 (Oreo) release of Android, pending partner support.
Do you have the latest Motorola software
I bought mine at Best Buy
Will almost certainly be 32Bit.
And we will still be waiting a while because the notes say that we get security up thru June 1st which hasn't happened yet. So implementing that will take probably a week at least. Soak testing will take probably 2 weeks, so we will probably see it late June/early July.
It sucks that they aren't doing anything about our awful camera(s).
Android OEMs get the contents of the security updates weeks in advance, so it's understandable that they'd release the June security update a few days early. It happens all the time with manufacturers that actually release updates often.

The camera on the G5+ was better than the dual setup on the G5s+ that's what I think the guy above is referring to.
"Sorry, the document you have requested is not available.

It's been coming since it was announced a year ago "from this fall". It'll be coming in a few months. Nothing to see here - literally.

When I bought the
g5s+ I was disappointed with their cameras quality. But after March update of Camera app it's much better. Of course in low light environment I also see so much noise but this is phone camera, not SLR.

But They aren't back. They changed the info on that page to show the June security patch instead of the oreo release. At this point, I've given up. In December, when I get my new phone, I'll be going to the nokia 6.1, which is an Android One device.

Wear OS 3.0, A Possibility?

Hey guys. Just a general question here. And, some sort of a poll here too.
Would LG roll out Android Oreo for the next update or Wear OS 3.0? Do you guys think that LG would continue to roll out updates for this watch?

Watch was abandoned way last year
Unfortunately, R.I.P this great watch....
Actually, I would guess yes - WearOS is now a layer over the firmware and it is updated as an app.
Google has said that "all devices currently on WearOS 2.0 will get 3.0
Yess definetly! They said only the LG G Watch won't get the update

It is not a "system update" but just a Playstore update for the watch UI, no change in OS
Automatic if your Playstore watch apps update is set to "auto" or manual if not.

Yes, the left/right/up/down swiping is more intuitive and the notifications are more detailed. The watch seems snappier for most things, except the Play Store. This update fixes many of the mistakes Google made with the 2.0 update (like swiping left or right to change the watch face).
Just a heads up that my brother's LG Watch Urbane got the new UI update today. My Huawei Watch still hasn't, but that's besides the point. The update is going to happen,
I got it this morning
Also instaled 2.16 when watch few days ago offered. But don´t know, in my watch battery keep less than with older version. Will do reset today and will test tomorrow. I think that less lasting battery is because of much more notifications from phone, but will see tomorrow. I have W150.
It's great to see that our watch is still updated !
I find as well that batery life is less as before.
Before update, i could finish the day with 50%, and now, i finish at 30%.
Just got the update today!
Wow it is a lot quicker and more smooth. They added cool stuff like battery saving mode, more settings when swiping down, easier to read the notifications and so on...
I actually liked it a lot and happy to see it still gets the UI updates. I cant tell anything about the battery life since the update happened a few hours ago. Great work LG!

AT&T January OTA update

I've side loaded the last 2 monthly updates but want to try and wait for January OTA. Has anyone from AT&T received this months update? Other forum seem to show all other carriers released the update but nothing from AT&T.
Did side loading possibly prevent me from getting ota's?

I caught your lighthearted lol, but AT&T has nothing to do with it. New images are posted like clockwork every month, both OTA and full. If AT&T is messing with your update, how is it that your image is waiting for you every first Monday of the month? If you don't want to wait your turn in the phased roll-out, there are options.

It was a genuine laugh actually, I chuckled when typing it because of how much has changed in life for me over 2 years. If I had the time to do all of that still I would definitely do it myself but getting an update on day 1 when it's released would be nice, even the first week would be sweet. I waited forever for the November update to hit my phone so it isn't exactly a smooth situation by any means.
You are absolutely correct though, there are other methods available to those that don't want to wait and they aren't difficult to do, especially with all the guides out there to follow.
Gave up waiting myself and sideloaded this month too. Every forum I've gone to it seems Pixels on AT&T, unlocked from Google or from them, seem to be on the waiting list for the update. Hopefully with a "Global" version in January (Japan excluded) the updates from here on out become more routine.

Not Sure!
I got the update within a week or when most community got when i was on sprint, but no luck with Jan update after i moved to at&t.
So i basically side loaded this time, need to see if this repeats with next months update too. But most people having issues with late update on google 4 pixel community have been majority on at&t.
coincidence ? not sure. in kind of same boat though..
Initial device purchased unlocked from the google store.
I got the update this morning, at&t
