Me too. Just restart your watch and slide up once rebooted. A new notification asking for update will come up.

Don't have the update yet on mine, I tried uninstalling wear os and then re-update it like some say it will force the update but I don't have it. Does anyone know how to force the update? system update says i'm on the latest version.

Same here. I'm in the US, what about you? May have to do with location as the others who posted seem to be from other countries, and they may space apart the roll-out. Just a guess.

What is exactly your version number ? In settings ?

I have follow the same steps and nothing. I think we can only wait :\ However long life to LG G WATCH R

Got it since 1st Oct - Poland
And yes, we have WearOs 2.0 (as base) upped to 2.16.x by apk.
Looks like Google find other way to update watches without OEMs...
I really like this update, new UI, controls... it should look and act this way from the beginning

It seems is like a launcher update

Just rebooted the watch, went to settings to perform update check and it said everything was up to date, but about 5 seconds later, the notification popped up and it's currently installing.

Ok... so why it needs reboot and clean cache?

Got it this morning. Just a "launcher app" update, not system. But IMHO this is the best update for UI speed, ease of use and look!

Hi, can someone extract and post the new launcher apk? Thanks

Got the 2.0 update last night on the LG G Watch R and it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Battery life sucks like the early days of AW2. Already down to 75% with limited use in just 3 hours. Used to go 12 hours and still be on 80% life left.
Music controls are mostly bad.
Controls no longer are in the notification screen and very often won't come on screen when you start playing music via your phone. To get them to come on your watch you have to go to the Quick Settings (swipe down), click on the song playing, now you get the controls. You can't do anything else with your watch with the music controls on screen (have to swipe right to see your watch face again). Also the playlist manipulation is gone. Only positive is it's easier to change volume with the new controls.

LG Watch R Android Marshmallow OTA Waiting room

Google announced that ALL android wear watches will get android 6 update....
so here you can report when you get the OTA on lg watch R or any other useful news about it
links:
http://www.xda-developers.com/google-begins-marshmallow-rollout-for-android-wear/
http://officialandroid.blogspot.in/2016/02/android-wear-designed-for-your-wrist.html?m=1
Hope we will be among the first served!
I am checking my watch every hour
I'll give it a week before even thinking too much about it. Also if it's going to be similar lollipop update rollout we might need to factory reset to get it fast.
I say it starts rolling out in March.
From the Wear Support forum: "To successfully receive the update on your watch, please make sure your watch is on its charger overnight and connected to your nearby phone by either bluetooth or Wi-Fi (Android phones only). "
So yeah, keep em' connected to the charger and phone
Have to say I have never been less excited about an update to the watch. Nothing really new announced. Don't use any of the gestures anyway. Wish they would allow the use of two or more languages for voice commands.
people are reporting that moto 360 (1st gen) is getting android 6 update in these hours...
edit: moto 360 2nd gen too
Not to excited either, secretly hoping that they make the "ok Google" command more sensitive again. Since the latest update it's a hit and miss.
i really hope for a better battery live, android 6 is great on smartphones
Hey i read somewhere that rooted devices wont get the ota update does any1 know if there's any truth to that?

You might get a notification, but I doubt it will successfully install (assuming OTAs are handled like other devices and must not be modified in any way).
Root or unlocked bootloader shouldn't cause problems with updates, and in case they do you can always sideload the update and solve the problem using adb.
I checked out the update on a moto 360 first gen, gestures are good enough, and I noticed also an improved smoothness. Battery life is also improved, especially in stand by mode or ambient (doze magic).
Keeping in mind all those benefits.. I want this update as soon as possible.
Just got the update

Did you do this before or after applying the upgrade? If you did it afterwards, it's useless as the URL won't be in there.
Otherwise, try searching for "googleapis.com" or just "http".

How To Get Pie On Your Note 10 [For them who haven't signed-up for the Pie Beta yet]

Since I can still see in the forum that many people are not getting Pie on their Honor Note 10's mostly because they are not aware that, Huawei is currently only pushing the Pie firmware for them who have signed up for their Official Pie beta testing...
You can still sign up for the Pie beta...They didn't close the beta registrations...
Here are the procedure to get Pie beta on your Note 10's...I have let many people know about this process but thought about sharing the details in a new thread so that more people can see it & get Pie on their phones...
1) https://www.wenjuan.com/s/aQFNBj/
2) Translate the page to English using Chrome Browser...
3) Choose Glory Note 10...
4) Your current operating system...
5) Your 16 Digit Serial Number (not your IMEI Number)...You can get your SN easily by dialing *#06#...The bottom one is your SN...
6) Put Any random 11 digit phone number starting with 17 (for example, 17865655679) & hit the Submit button...
7) After 12-14 hours, you should be able to receive the Pie update...Keep checking for updates manually...
8) After you get the Pie update, you will need to keep checking manually because the later updates like 181 & 183 "might not" automatically show on your handsets if you don't manually search for updates...
For your convenience, I'm also attaching a screenshot giving you all an example of how to fill-up the Pie signup form...
Best wishes...
If you face any problems, you can always let me know here or in PM...
EDIT : As of now on 28.03.2019, the Pie Beta signup has been stopped by Huawei...People who filled the form before 27.03.2019 got the Pie updates on their Note 10's but people who haven't signed up yet, can no longer use the form as the sign-up has been stopped...They need to manually search for any available Firmware updates when Huawei starts global OTA Firmware updates which should not be far away...
Check the official confirmation from Huawei about the removal of the Pie sign-up procedure in the attached pics...
Thanks. Filled it form. Now let's see what happens..... [emoji1695]

Hmm when you will install a new FW version, it will get deleted automatically as this is a China only phone & doesn't come with the Playstore installed on it by default...
I was going to provide you the apk but saw that you manged to do it...
Enjoy Pie...
Yeah only realised that when I did some reading... But all is good now. Just need to go through phone and find out where all the new settings are. Should they have been moved.
Thanks again for the info on this update.... [emoji1303][emoji1303]

You just need to go to your settings main page & type the setting name you want to reach to, on the search bar at the top...
For example, if you want to find where the Gestures settings are, just type Gestures in the top search bar on the main settings page of the phone & it will show you all the settings related to the gestures...Just tap on the required settings which comes up in the search & you will reach there directly which will save your time...

Battery life is little bad on Pie & also loudspeaker volume is much lower than Oreo...
You can revert back to Oreo 165 using HiSuite if you don't like Pie...I am also on Oreo because of the before mentioned reasons...
Make sure you take a full system backup using HiSuite if you want to go back to Oreo because the Pie to Oreo downgrading process will remove all your phone data...

Thanks for the info, but I haven't noticed any change in battery life. I am a low to medium user, but I still get 2 days out of battery.
Also I haven't noticed the volume being any quieter in pie than Oreo. Not saying your lieing but to my ears it's the same.
For now I'm sticking with pie but it's good to know I can go back to Oreo using hisuite should I need to...

I'm a low to medium user too & I get almost 3 days (about 2 days & 21-22 hours) out of my phone in Oreo so yes it's much lower in Pie than in Oreo...It's a 5000 mAH battery so 2 days is not normal for low to medium users...
And about the loudspeaker, check the Android P 9.0 beta thread & you will see there are several people with the same problem...I put my ringtone & speaker volume to the maximum level always so I did notice the decrease in loudness...For people who do not listen to songs using full volume on loudspeaker or don't use the maximum ring volume, will not notice the difference...Battery issues are also being reported by other members in the below thread...
Here is that thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-10/how-to/android-p-9-0-beta-t3886194
And here is one example of one such post in that thread :
dido4life said:
hello guys, last week I got the 9.0.0.181 update, it's faster and better but I noticed the issues below:
1- the volume decreased like 20%
2- battery life descreased like 30%
3- the stock camera app became worse as video stabilization is always on and there is no option to turn it off
4- brightness silder is not working it sould be
before 2 days I got the 9.0.0.183 update so I updated my phone hoping the previous issues will be solved but it got even worse, now the stock camera is unresponsive and the update did not solve any of the prevous issues so I rolled back to Oreo software...
Click to expand...

I have no profit in misguiding you or telling you lie...Then I wouldn't have created this thread at the first place...Not only me, many people rolled back to Oreo...If you don't face any problem with Pie, you can stick with it...

You became a little late...They stopped the Pie signups yesterday night...I just woke up & saw this thread & by trying to find what happened with the link, I found that Huawei stopped the Pie registrations yesterday...Please check the attached screenshots for confirmation...
You can no longer sign-up for the Pie beta using that form but since the beta testing is over, Huawei should start pushing the Pie updates via normal OTA procedure soon...So, keep checking for any available updates manually & when Huawei will start it, you will get it & also all those people who didn't sign-up for the Pie beta, will get it...Best wishes....
@ Mods, Please lock the thread for now as Huawei is no longer offering Pie signups through form...

They were all official from Huawei...At starting they were pushing the Official Pie beta to them who were filling out the form...Later they started pushing the newest stable versions like 181 & then 183 directly, skipping the beta...Since the Pie sign-ups are now stopped, they should be sending out the upcoming FW versions by normal OTA procedure...
Previously it was only possible to update to Pie by updating to Pie Beta 167...But since the beta testing is now over, Huawei started pushing the latest build 186 directly to the phone & like I already mentioned in my main post, you no longer need to fill-up any form to get Pie...If you want to update, just search for the update in your phone & I think you will get the latest build 186 directly...If you still not receive the update, wait for some days & the update should reach you shortly...
Thanks for the tip, I did a few days ago and received the update.
My analysis:
System more fluid and with soft and beautiful animations, sounds of the system, are pleasant. I liked the square design in the notifications for example, I liked the square photo on the dialer.
But, as someone already mentioned here, listening to music with bluetooth is not recommended, the battery goes down ungoverned. Just on standby the device already consumes more than it should, with games then, it reminds me of the cars of the 80's and 90's. I did not notice the low sound that they complain about, but I'm not the user who uses the maximum volume. Anyway, I'm returning version 165, I prefer stability. That's why I left Xiaomi. Hehehehe.

The face unlock is a bit slower than before, but overall seems more polish regarding the transitions and gestures.
Nevertheless, i think it needs a bit more "speed" on the transitions.

That's a easy fix,
Head over to " Developer Options " and change all Animation from 1 to 0.5
I did the bootloader unlock first. Broke the OTA. Can not be installed. Packet not matching the device.
Relocked the bootloader and it still does not work.
Did anyone update to Android 10 and unlocked the bootloader afterwards?
Sorry but last update is fu.ked up.Gestures in "System navigation" menu don't work.I can't choose this option. Only Virtual Navigation is available
Also I noticed much worse photos from stock camera

Blame Google for that, they managed to break the thirdparty launcher support in Q. If you want gestures, use the stock launcher.
Android Q problems
Any one else who can't se the files in file explorer? Nothing is erased but it won't show either. The same with music in music player. Also a bit lag especially when screen lock is on and I want to control apps running.
the update can only be made if no magisk root and no twrp is installed (if twrp and magisk is installed, the update cancels) whether the bootloader is unlocked is irrelevant during the update

No, blame ZTE. Google fixed this issue with 3rd party launchers back in December. ZTE didn't implement the fix prior to pushing their update. This is on them! And they need to push a fix ASAP cause this is unacceptable!
Does anyone of you experience slow camera? It loads forever. Also switching the lenses.
Both with ZTE camera and Google camera mod.
Plus desktop mode works now [emoji1]
but the DPI is very low on my full HD screen. So not much fun yet.
Android Q issues
Since the new update of my mobile, the ZTE axon 10 pro, to Android Q I am experiencing problems:
*I can't turn of battery saving mode which makes my gps often useless.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
The are other small issues as well.*
I would like to sideload the new update to see if the problems will disappear but I can't find the zip file for the new update .
Anyone that has the zip file for the global version?
Anyone with similar or other issues?
Any ideas how to fix these?
Thanks in advance!

I never turn battery save mode on. I will check it.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
I never see this. Once I realized that it turned on with almost 1 minute delay but I didn't check it once again.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
It is always fine for me.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
I have never used built in file explorer but I tried it. It works fine for me.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
I don't know Chrome. I use Opera. Very rarely it waits for longer time but it comes back in reasonable time. The phone has never been frozen fully.
May be you should do factory reset and also get all update from Google Store.
Hello,
I cannot see update to version 2.3 in system updater.

Messaged ZTE about the EU update to the A2020G variant.
"Thanks for contacting ZTE, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
We would like to inform you, updates when available are sent onto the phones via OTA (over the air).
Also it will be released based on the IMEI numbers as well, hence we kinldy request you to wait for the notification on your device for the update."
Guess its luck of the IMEI draw .

Exactly. Apart from that I wouldn't know the phone got an update. Maybe the status bar is a bit different but I can't really see anything differnet. Keep in mind tho I also haven't really tested anything yet. But I really thought it would be some bigger changes
I noticed that long screenshot have been added.

(Was away from home, so wanted not to take any 'risks')
Now installed, went trouble-free in 20 maybe 30 minutes. Only few changes here and there (graphics for battery usage, camera, navigation bar gestures). Used Nova Launcher before, now I'm gonna give the OneUI a spin for a while. Screen can accept 5x6 icons (plus bottom row), I don't remeber if that is increased, but was used to 5x7 with Nova.
Saw one (A50) v.10 review on youtube that claimed increased performance in bechmarks, so tried that. Could not confirm any increase with PCMark.

- when taking a screenshot, you get an option to scroll down one or more times, then the screens below get collage'd on, to one long image. That's actually quite clever..
Oh, and one negative : Seems I have now a more or less permanent notification "Samsung account. To continue using services securely, sign in again." Dismiss and it will return shortly. Quite annoying, but googling seems to confirm no solution atm. Hope they decide to remove it later on....

I confirm that A40 outputs audio through USB C no problem (android 10). Using with dac/amp Topping NX4 DSD. I write this because I have read all over net that this does not work, but the gamble paid
Ah that sucks.
You could disable the notificatuo for it tap&hold but its still bad if you want to keep it neat
I'm still waiting for update...
I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?
Android 10 version is installed in my phone.
In summary, One UI 2.0 with better Dark Mode support and full gestures that remember me to MIUI implementation.
Battery drops earlier, surely due to new ROM installed and I've to wait for ROM stabilize.

In camera app never I can't set image resolution, only I can set video resolution.
Looks like everyone have update installed except me. I see that it should be already pushed to my phone by the end of May. My girl have the same model and she is happy Android 10 user from beginning of May. Any ideas how to force update or check why it not showing in update section? I already cleared cache for google play services and google framework service and still no update

Question New update, PD2227B

Here is a screenshot, later i post if i see any obvious changes
OK for me
We already talked about this update for a week now.
You induce people in error thinking there is another update, not this one.
There is a new update out. No fix for notifications in dark mode.
Could have guessed it because it wasn't mentioned, but even this trial is stuck on December security update. Vivo seemingly just cannot do software. Hope it's more stable than the last version. On the last one I had 1-3 partial app crashes a day on camera or Gmail or chrome (making restart of app necessary).
None of the real problems like autofocus, notifications or battery life usm

OMG... When I opended the software update screen no new update was presented, but when I opened the trial/beta screen, I got the option to update... ^_^...
Not missing much, this update runs very unstable for me and worst battery drain on mobile data yet.
E.g. keyboard lost while typing a reply here and need to close chrome and reopen to be able to type again frequently.
Instead of fixing anything vivo is just making things worse....have you made sure you're not talking to a chatbot at vivo support?

That's always like this for trial updates. At least I never was informed about them but needed to click I to the trial option....

For the 18.3 I must have opened the trial/beta part at least 20 times.. but never saw the update...
And even better, my 'unknown number' issue when having a VOLTE/VOWIFI connection is solved ^_ ^
I cannot install any apk anymore on this trial version. Play store is outdated and I cannot update it! Same for gcams...
After clicking on "Continue Installation" it just crashes.
I downloaded a random APK from apk mirror, opened it with the 'File managment' app and was able to install the APK just fine... Also updating installed apps via play store works fine for me...

Ah ok. I put him on the ignore list and don't see any message from him anymore. So your comment was confusing me
Edit: when it doesn't work for him it's clearly an user error. I wish for all the people here he sells the phone and let us be in peace.
Well I don't know why it doesn't work. Just nothing happens after clicking on "Continue Installatin" - Updating apps via play store works fine (but play store cannot update itself - if you want to update play store you need to manually downlaod a new apk). I don't know when it last worked - maybe a week ago.
Edit:
well I can still install/update everything via ADB install - guess I removed some system permissions too much when making sure this phone doesn't send home too much data.
