Both my google play, and Android wear are completly updated. However when ever I try to start certain apps it tells me i need to update either google play services or android wear, both of which are the current version. This seems to effect mostly the google apps like google keep. Any Ideas, I just got this about 2 days ago.
This is happening to me too. On the Android Wear phone app, certain actions are either greyed out (navigation) or missing entirely (texting). When I try to open certain apps on the wear I get a grey screen that says "Update Android Wear on your Phone". And that's it. Other apps like custom watch faces will not properly sync or update and give me a "Try updating google play services" error message.
I've tried resetting the watch several times along with resyncing apps, reinstalling the Wear phone app, etc. None of these are fixing the issue.

Yup. Same think. Also i see that some people are able to even text via the watch though the phone which i cannnot do.
My watch still says android Software version 5.0.1 but my friend who had his longer has been 5.1.1 for a long it me now. This is one of the big reasons for me to think of rooting and trying a custom ROM but I dont really see any. Or even flash the update myself.
The watch won't update until your phones updated.
Go into settings on the watch, check out the build number. If it contains 'sprat-userdebug' in the string then you aren't on a base rom and you need to flash it stock. Just got mine and apparently this was/is known from a batch that went in to the reseller market. BestBuy got nailed by it and lots of pissed off people.
There is a tool here that can help you get on a stock rom that will allow the OTA updates to happen.
I'm in the same boat, haven't had a chance to try it yet but will report back tonight.
EDIT:
Worked great - flash back to the stock ROM, pair with your phone and it will get the OTA updates. They take awhile and process one by one, but success. Good luck! I had a rough time getting the ADB drivers on Win 8.1, although I think it's my crappy laptop. Worked on a Win 7 machine I had around without issue.
All my google play services were wiped out, Google play crashes when I try to open. Is my tablet hosed? Don't they test these effing updates?

Hi,
So I recently traveled out of the US to China for vacation, and when I was there I decided to check/download some updates for my Downloaded apps in the Android Market. Notably I could not see the Android Market Front Page when connected in China (must be Google block?), however I could see which of my apps had updates.
However, I'm back in the US now and when I go into the Market to update my apps, none of the downloaded apps are showing. I tried using Appbrain to update them, but that failed as well, and now the only apps that show up in my Market are the ones Appbrain listed as having updates. I tried using an app like Market History Delete but that didn't work either.
I figure it must be some Market sync issue or something, but is there anything that can be done short of doing a complete factory wipe? Thanks.
My wife and I came back from a 6 month stay in China last year. I had a similar issue. I think I has to go under manage applications, filer for "All", and force stop the app then uninstall updates. I then rebooted the phone and it worked for me. My wifes phone had the same problem but my solution did not work for hers. So I dont want to say it will work for you, but its did for me. I'm afraid I dont know what else to tell you. Let me know if it works for you.
Try to use navigation from watch, sits at calculating route, then i get a "check phone to continue". Nothing is brought up on phone. I have reset watch, reinstalled google maps, checked all my location settings, nothing that i have done has fixed this issue. Any ideas?
Navigation not working
Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. Anyone have a fix?
I have also read that people are having same issue with the moto 360. Thats a good thing its not hardware related.
It Works..
I managed to get it to work.. On your Phone go to Apps Manager.. Look for Google Maps.. Uninstall Updates.. This feature doesnt seem to be working with Maps 9.xx.. It has to be Maps 8.xx... then run Google Maps on your phone once.. Make sure you navigate at least once as there are some pop up notifications on the phone the first time you navigate with maps.. The watch does not know what to do handle pop up.. Once you have navigated at least once try launching it from your watch.. Let me know if this works for you.
Talking with android wear support, i will post back with any news
amresh89, that did work. I passed that info onto wear support.
Downgraded to Maps 8, created a route / directions and then closed Maps. Tried on watch and it tries to route and the closes.
UPDATE : Restarted phone and it then worked.

Yes this is a known issue with google maps 9.4. which doesn't seem to be updated in many regions. Fix is to uninstall updates, download google maps 9.5.1 from this link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-5-1-android-apk-download/. Always healthy to restart your phone and smartwatch then resync the apps. This should resolve the issue.
Hope it helps.
Update Maps, works now. 9.5.x
Maybe I'm going mad but I'm sure when I first used my Urbane there was a Google Maps app. However now Maps isn't in the app list. The only way I can get it up is to trigger a set of directions thorough "OK Google" . Does anyone have maps show in the list? (I.e next to Weather, Alarm, Settings, Google, Play Music etc)
No maps app here too.
Same here, but here's how I fixed it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps. Then I resynced apps on my Android Wear app. I appeared as an option a min later!
I had to do the same thing with Google Music
Thanks. I tried uninstalling, and then reinstalling and resyncing, no luck.
I'm also missing other apps (I think) does Whatsapp, Ubur or Shasam have apps for wear? Hard to tell if I missing them or they just don't have a way to launch on the watch....
You need the latest version of maps and android wear. I removed the watch from android wear, reset the watch, paired them again, it worked. Also got an update that up to now it had been saying did not exist and a few other oddities fixed. I'm not sure why I didn't do this before, I suppose because I'm used to it being a bit of a chore to reset a rom on the phone and I need to recalibrate my thinking for the watch/android wear. It only takes a minute to get the reset going, check back in about 15 minutes to pair with phone, check back in after a while and its done. Knowing what I know now I'll likely do this every so often just to see what new apps will be pushed to the watch and if it will pick up an update.
Hello,
I recieved yesterday my urbane and so far I'm loving it, but I have a question and would like to know if someone knows the answer.
My Urbane came with android 5.1.1 but the version is LJZ01H and it doesn't find any update.
Searching the internet I don't find much information about that version.
Will it be safe to sideload de LDZ22D or should I sideload the LJZ13E before (If i could find the rom)? and what will I benefit from it?
Thanks,
Xupamki
Did you ever get your watch updated? I'm having the same issue. Just got the watch, and it won't find any system updates. I've tried a couple of factory resets and let it charge overnight to give it plenty of time to download the update.
Does anyone have an ota update from LJZ01H? If I could find that, I could at least sideload it.
Thanks!!
Hello,
I'm french and I have the same issue. I try with sideload but there is just some files for LJZ13E to LDZ22D and LDZ22D to the last version so it doesn't work. I bought my LG Watch Urbane last week and I never had any updates. Reset and factory reset doesn't work...
Me too
Just throwing in my "me too" on this thread.
I just got my Urbane on Saturday. Worked well on Saturday but after a recent update to the Android Wear app on my Nexus 5, I get constant Android Wear crashes on my watch.
On the watch:
Build number: LJZ01H
Android Wear: 1.1.0.1838650
Google Play services: 8.3.01 (2385995-534)
Android OS: 5.1.1
Can't see any real clear way of updating the watch to Android Wear 1.3 LCA44B. I have tried "Forget watch/Factory reset" method twice with no prompt - still says system is up to date.
Because I use LG Urbane With iPhone so I really need to update Android Wear 1.3. But my watch have recovery LJZ01H.
Is there anyway to update? Please show me.
Thank!
I tried calling LG support for help and they basically said there was nothing they could do and it would update when it's ready. Hopefully we get lucky and it will update at some point...
EDIT: Just found a Thread on google support (new so i can't share the link, but search "android wear ljz01h" . Trying it now. We'll see.
Rather than just resetting the watch, why don't you try to do a reset of the whole AW environment. You can follow these steps to do it:
On the phone:
In Android Wear use the Disconnect... option.
In Android Wear, use Settings, Device settings and touch the watch name, Touch FORGET WATCH.
Settings, Bluetooth. If you still see the watch, touch Forget... the watch so it no longer appears in the list of paired devices.
Settings, Device, Apps, select Google Play Services. Clear cache and Clear data.
Settings, Device, Apps, select Android Wear. Clear cache and Clear data.
Settings, Device, Apps, select Google App. Clear cache and Clear data.
Play Store, Apps, My apps, make sure there are no pending updates to AW, GPS or any other Google software. If there are, touch the Update all button.
Reboot.
On the watch:
Settings, Reset.
If that does not work, some people have found that uninstalling updates to the AW app itself and then waiting have allowed their watches to update.

I also contacted LG Support but via email. First reply said to confirm the was paired and the phone connected to the Internet (duh). The second reply recommended I return the watch to Amazon (sigh). The third reply just re-hashed my response to the "return it" recommendation - that the update was pushed out 'randomly' and that I just had to wait for it to arrive.
I recently tried doing a factory reset/wipe via recovery on the watch along with the "forget watch" in the Android Wear app - no change. I haven't tried the steps mentioned in your reply (clearing data/cache in the google apps on the phone). I think it may be worth a try.
Just tried the above method and it worked! The update was ready as soon as it finished syncing apps. Hope it works for others as well.

Worked for me too. Settings -> About -> System Updates said Downloading right away after performing that procedure.
Be aware that you will loose your home screen layout and a few more Google settings - the dialogs when you press "Erase all data" from the 3 Google apps listed reiterate this fact.
Thanks again!

Hey every been a while since i posted. Recently my play store auto updated itself. I had thought i properly blocked this but I must have inadvertently changed a setting while switching accounts. I had a modded apk but cant find it. Im back to stock but rooted kitkat. The thing is I started noticing im getting these annoying messages about wannam being a harmfull ap. I am suspecting I updated google services? No clue
Please I am not looking for a "cracked" playstore apk, ive got a dozen or so paid for apps I want to keep just want to go back to my old play store version and not have ps auto update. Ive already done the obvious: unistall, go back to factory, block updater via Tb, etc etc. Any one have a modded apk they could share? Please no cracked free app mods. I am 100% against this kind of stuff, its actually stealing. Any help would be great. Thx! Tmo Galaxy n4 rooted and running on att android 4.3.
Figured it out. So far so good. What ever happened to google being the "dev friendly" "open source" system? Android is turning more and more into ios. Damn play store app updated itself like 3 times. Sad. I wonder where my d2 is prob still runnind rooted ics. I get the feeling that google is trying very hard to eliminate the ability to root all together. Hope im wrong. /rant
