[Q] Lollipop update? - Sony Smartwatch 3

Did the SWR50 get the 5.0 update?
I wandered into the local Sony shop and the only working model they had was the one that one of the staff had bought. But his didn't have the new pull down from the top menus.
I would have thought Sony should be able to keep up with the likes of LG etc... surely there should be the new update out there by now?

The Android Wear application was updated quite some time ago. Typically it should update to version 5.0.1 Android Wear when you first connect it.
On a sidenote, mine wouldn't update initially on a Wifi connection. I turned off Wifi and it immediately updated through my 3g data.

Notification "connected, in connection" vanished

Hello everyone, I'm new. Forgive my English.
This morning I'm going to turn on the phone and Moto 360, and noted that the notification is vanished from the drop-down menu that shows me they are connected or not to the Moto 360. To find out, now I'm forced to open Android Wear.
Moto 360 firm: 5.0.2
Android Wear: last in playstore
Moto Connect: same android wear
Note 4 N910U firm.....4.4.4 -.-
Anyone can help me please? Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem since today morning. I use Sony Z3 running lollipop.
----
Update: it looks like this is by design by latest Google play services update to version 7.3.
What your seeing is the new results of Google Play services being updated to 7.3.29 I believe. With this new update, if your Android Wear Connected Devices are connected and working fine, the notification auto hides itself. It is though suppose to pop back up when there is a problem between sync and devices but I have not seen it do that.
With the older Google Play Services such as 7.0.99 the notification was always there with no way of hiding it or turning it off.
The new Google Play Services was suppose to prepare phones to be able to work with the new features coming to Android Wear and firmware updates to the moto 360 and other smart watches.
Also there was a bug in the older Google Play Services keeping it always on and a connection always running due to it trying itself to look for OTA's through Google Servers I assume for GPE editions of phones and watches. I think now from watching over the new version on my Verizon Note 3 that it is now fixed and is the last thing always running in the battery rundown list. Before the update and with the older version it was the first in the list for draining battery on Lollipop!
Just as an update to my earlier post, the newer newest android wear is up live on the Google Play store. It has the sync to cloud option so that you can use WiFi mode on smart watch.
Only issue now is we still are waiting for new firmware to enable it on the Moto 360.
Thanks for the answers.
Wait for the new version then, as to me it is not yet appeared.
Thanks for the help!
Well, on my Z3 the notification does not appeared when watch was disconnected.

Moto 360 WORKS :)

Moto360 works great with the last update now and the update has to be the 4.6.1 US versions ending in 820 and not 320
I had the one ending in 320 and was not working and Google services was working from time to time, but now with the update ending in 820 everything was fix with latest google services and latest play store and Google maps all working great and obviously Android Wear for my Moto360 that works like a charm
If you have questions let me know and I will try to help
I have an AT&T fire phone unlocked.
Just wanted to add to this because I've just got my Sony Smartwatch 3 working.
Had to install system software version 820 but otherwise everything is fine.
I've got a UK O2 device.

Please explain the steps. I have a Note 4 already paired to my Moto360. I want to add a second device.
Thanks.
LG G Watch
Confirmed that the LG G Watch running 5.1.1 Android wear, works fine, just the stock Amazon email app, does not trigger the watch to vibrate when a new email is received, other apps, messages, calls, Facebook, notifications work great =) Finally I can use this phone =)
congrats!

I thought that update wasn't available yet for all of us using the UK handsets? Did you update using the US firmware? I put off doing that because I thought perhaps US versions weren't optimised for uk carrier networks.
Trying to get my moto 360 to work with this phone, migrated from a moto e 2nd gen. Boy did I underestimate how primitive fire os is. I mean, on paper: this phone is the best bang for your buck (on offer, anyways), but man 'dat os tho'. My moto 360 has literally served as a glorified regular watch with a ridiculously short battery life for the past month. I'm also on o2, and I'm not sure what you did to get that update but please let me know.
Which version of google service do you use?
I am using 4.6.1 (3820) and whenever I play Android wear then it shows
"Update the Goolge app on the Play Store. Then open Android Wear again"
even the android wear and connect are latest version. So I cannot connect to my
MOTO 360. Can you help?
Hi,
I had the same problem and here is how i fixed it!
1. Open playstore
2. Download the Google app...literally type in "google" and its the app with the white looking google symbol
3. Android wear works!
My fire phone is running 4.6.3 ver. 620 = this is the last three digits of my software version.
Google play store version 5.9.12
I also downloaded Motorola connect and selected the moto360 from menu and clicked open in android wear.
hope this helps im getting my watch tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.
After I upgrade to 4.6.3 and I forced to remove Amazon app store and then everything works smoothly.
Thanks.

Moto360 1st edition is $149.99.
From my reading on the new 2015 edition their is increased battery life and a slight change in button placement.
My moto360 will last the entire day with with a full charge to start that day. Ambient mode is on and I use paid watch faces with lots of colors.
I didn't feel the extra $150 for the second edition was justifiable to me. The 1st edition is still quite fashionable and useful.

"As of today, Moto 360 will be Wi-Fi enabled" - Android Wear representative

Post by Android Wear representative a few minutes ago:
"Hi again,
Watches powered by Android Wear are built by different manufacturers and some may not support Wi-Fi.
As of today, the following Android Wear watches will be Wi-Fi enabled:
LG Watch Urbane
Samsung Gear Live
Sony SmartWatch 3
Moto 360
As already mentioned, the release is rolling out gradually, thanks for your patience.
Cheers!
Ernest"

From what I saw, Google confirmed we'd get the update "over the next few days or weeks" As per Motorola's twitter & Facebook posts, however, "We shouldn't expect the update in the next few weeks."
I haven't checked their social media in a week or so, but that's what I was seeing when I checked last. Just be patient, we already know we're getting it for a fact. More threads about it won't make it come any faster. There's already a discussion topic in this forum for the coming update. [emoji14]
This is not news AS OF TODAY ...
This is old news... back on 4/21/15 I posted this information:
Google has updated the Android Wear APK which makes it POSSIBLE to connect our Moto360 via WiFi.
http://motorola-blog.blogspot.ae/2015/04/moto-360-its-time-for-update.html?m=1
HOWEVER: as of 5/14/15 we are STILL WAITING for Motorola to roll out the FIRMWARE UPDATE to our Moto360 Watch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60271347
So does anyone know WHEN will moto360 get wifi support?
There is absolutely no reason to hold this feature off, other than critical battery or other hardware issue.
What's the best source to get the latest news?
Thread cleaned.
Please no arguing and keep it cordial.
Regards
Keep making a new post every day about the moto 360 getting the WiFi update,one day you'll be right,unless google decides to cancel the update ?

Thats because Motorola has not released the firmware update yet. They will most likely post here http://motorola-blog.blogspot.kr once roll-out has begun.

Google has released Android 6.0 for Wear..keep an eye out

Yep, so glad! Doze should be awesome for our watches. Hopefully some of us get it soon.

The official post:
New android wear announced by google!:
http://officialandroid.blogspot.nl/2016/02/android-wear-designed-for-your-wrist.html
What do you think about it?
Disappointedly incremental upgrade.
Its version 1.4 for wear, not 6 . Probably the API does level up tot the same as Android 6 had.
The update will appear in the Android Wear app on the phone and will be automatically applied or where should i search for it?

no Update on Sony sw3
Too bad our watch doesn't have a speaker. Still looking forward to the update.
are we waiting on sony to put their stamp on it or just direct from google?
Waiting for Sony, except with wear it does not take that long as google didnt allow much modifications . days or weeks, not months before it gets through Sony

You don't have to search for it, you'll get a notification card on the watch. The phone app actually isn't involved in the process (just as the pipe if your watch is connnected via bt), it is downloaded straight to the watch. But google says you do need to have the current phone app (updated Jan 26).

I thought with Android wear, it was straight from Google.
Not according to previous experiences..see eg http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/sony-smartwatch-3-gets-latest-android-wear-update-24-08-2015/

same...same, one of the reasons I felt the sw3 was the better buy over all the others
Yeah it's a shame google hasn't put NFC to use. Especially with Android lay not full in effect.
this news has me checking for system updates every couple hours.
wish it had a speaker as well but not for calls, just audio notifs or alarms...i get enough weird looks from asking my watch for directions...imagine if it talked back.

until we get the first confirmed update on SWR50, there is no point checking for the update.
even then, unless you're factory resetting and unpairing/re-pairing you wont get it any faster than it was intended.
lets hope for a system dump here. i remember me flashing the August-release manually after waiting several weeks

Huawei Watch 1 - Android Wear 2.9 update received!

Woke up to a pleasant surprise in the morning with an update to the 2.9 version.
The update purportedly incluudes:
New unread notification indicator (on by default)
ComplicationDrawable now handles permission
New Call back indicates if ComplicationDrawable completed loading images/icons
More on the update - https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/01/android-wear-sdk-and-emulator-update.html
Have not noticed and battery / perfomance changes / improvements yet.
I have still not recivied 2.9. Any idea when it might be rolled out?
I just got this too. Only thing I noticed is that when there is notifications, there is now a small notification indicator at the bottom of the home screen.

Since Watch 2 has received oreo update and our original Huawei watch didn't, it seems we'll need to install custom roms from now if we want to get updated. I hope someone is cooking a custom rom... maybe from watch 2 update.. :?

same here, I wonder if we still get the 2018 security patches and Android 8.1
Guys, for the last time, we're not getting 8.1. This has been discussed ad nauseam, and it's been confirmed by both Huawei and Google (by omission) that we aren't getting it. So stop wondering. No more patches, no more system software updates. We'll still get Wear OS APP updates, but that's it.

Thanks. Mine is on that version as well. But is that the latest version of Android Wear? I was under the impression that the Watch 2 has a higher version.
I'm not sure where the appropriate place is to post this question.
I've got the Huawei watch (original).
At first it was connected to my HTC M8, but now I'm using it with my iPhone X.
I have installed Watch OS to my phone. When I open the App on the iPhone, it says "Update your Watch: To keep your watch features working properly and use new features, you need to update the apps on your watch".
I click on START on the phone,
The next message is Continue on your watch. I click OK.
The watch says No Wi-Fi found. Connect to Wi-Fi to use Play Store.
(Under SETTINGS > Network. the watch tells me it is connected to my home Wi-Fi; not sure why I get the message "no wi-fi found" when I can clearly see it's connected.)
If I keep at this long enough, I get twirling green circles on the watch, and then an error message. "ERROR RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM SERVER [RH-01].
Then I'm back at the "retry" prompt.
------------------------------------------------------------
My first question is why does it say it isn't connected, when it just said it was connected.
My second question is how does anything know to connect to Google Play? I'm using an iPhone. Is it even possible to connect to Google Play from an iPhone?
My last question is whether I should just give up on all this, and buy an Apple Watch, which I did NOT want to do. I now have a Pebble Steel, and now this Huawei. I guess I can write the whole thing off as a bad experience and get a new watch, if this is now a dead end street.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
More information...
Watch is running Wear OS 2.0.0 169881869
Error [RH-01] apparently happens when trying to connect to Play Store
Next step will be to re-start the watch, but I'll wait until it has a full charge.
This is the page I am working with to try to fix it: support.google.com/wearos/answer/6321140
Does anyone know where we can download the file from to flash with TWRP?

I also received the new UI. Wear OS version bumped to 2.17.
the update arrived this morning on both my Watch 1 and 2 - both now have the new ui - Watch 1 still shows as Android Wear and not Wear OS - also no security updates so still March 2017 and October 2017
Finally my Huawei Watch is updated to latest Android Wear New Interface.
