Latest Android Wear update broke my Moto 360 - Moto 360

Ever since updating this evening, I'm getting unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped over and over. I hit ok, it comes back.
No clue what's causing it. The only thing that changed was I updated Android Wear app.

Make sure your phone is running latest Google Play Services (7.0.97)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
What Play Services version is running on your 360? Settings > About > tap Software Version. Should be 7.0.95

figured it out, just sync the apps from android wear app, thanks anyway

Solution to update until they fix the issue!
Hi guys,
well this is what I did!
You have to delete Android Wear from your phone and then download the last update APK and install this on your phone, so in a sense you are taking the Android Wear back to the last update:
so firstly delete android wear app on phone
On your phone:
Google Android Wear 1.0.5.1724356 and select first entry apkmirror
scroll down to All Versions and choose whether you want the last one Mar 12th or Feb 25th, incidently I chose Feb 25th
Click on download arrow and then click to install on phone, you may need to tick allow download from outside sources, this site is google approved so is ok.
and thats it, you now have the previous version, I would advise installing My Backup pro as this will allow you to save your APKs if you accidentally update one again in the future. You could also deselect the auto update on the Android Wear app.
Best

I had to go into my watch settings and do a factory reset and re-install android wear app (not sure if re-installing the app really did anything, but didn't hurt)...It was annoying having to set it up all over again and blocking cards I do not want to show up, but its better then this constant notification killing my battery.

Me too. Tried once to factory reset the watch, reinstall the latest Android Wear to my phone and resync the apps. However, the result isn't encouraging at all. The watch was quite hot.
I switched off the bluetooth and let the watch to cool down. Then, I will do another trial. Wish me luck. Thanks!

Thank you sir, that did the trick in my case!

Put me into the boat of this error, it's not all the time, but goes in cycles. I'll get it for an 8 hr stretch, then nothing. I've tried everything except hard resetting my watch. I'm hoping for an update on either play services for the phone or watch to get rid of it. Might be that my Corp email is my most frequent notification, but that is where i see it most.
Phone is 4.4.2 Sprint Galaxy S4T stock build with custom recovery and rooted. No system modifications other than root

reset the device
Fixed!
I did a factory reset. Didn't work the first time, I kept clicking away those pop-ups... I tried again without touching the watch and about 20 minutes later I was good to go, without the process error.

Guys it's way more easier than this , just go too apss and find google play services the touch it, click on uninstall updates then ok and just let it u installed, then go to play storeor wait till notification pup-up about play music or hangout or android wear need app requered and click. On it or in play store search for google play services , both will end at same page , then click update and let it install the latest version and finished , all errors will be vanished, enjoy it.

My Uninstall Updates is grey and not clickable

You need to disable one of your 'Administrators.' Basically, hit the 'disable' button and it will ask you if you want to, hit yes. Then it will ask if you want to install the factory version, hit yes. Next it will take you to the 'Device Admin' in settings and you you will need to disable those, unless you only have one, in order to uninstall the previous update.
Update: The 'fix' given by scorpion_s66 did not work for me. I am now trying to reset my moto 360 but I cannot seem to do that either. All I can say is... Thanks Google! After I updated to the new Android Wear all these issues started. I reverted back to the older version but nothing changed. woooooooooooooooosssaaa wooossaaa woosa - Now I feel better (Bad Boys 2 just in case anyone doesn't get woosa).

I was impacted by this as well. After finding my watch on the charger yesterday morning red-hot and unusable (the same repeating error message mentioned earlier) I finally got it working by attempting a factory reset about 5+ times over the course of over an hour. It finally seemed to "take".
I've had this watch for about a week and while I like it and I'll keep it, I'm also coming to the conclusion that Google does not have it's A-team working on Android Wear. There are some really hacky implementations in here. I mean, why do my offline music transfers (phone to watch) automatically stop with no warning when the phone drops to 50% battery (which happens about about 50 songs). Why do I have to go through this ridiculous 5-times "ok google" to get rid of that message on the watch face? Seriously, who thought this was a good design? Why did many of our watches get nearly bricked after a Android Wear update on the phone? Why can't I use my watch or transfer music while it's charging? Why do I have to go through this elaborate process to view/access my list of apps?
Sorry for the rant. Last year I read a book titled "How Google Tests Software", which I found quite interesting at the time. This crap certainly gives me a different perspective..

I tend to disagree. I was having the same problem and I wasn't even able to set my moto 360 as those messages were constantly popping up. However, I came across the contacting google option, and within a minute after I made the request, they have actually got someone from the android wear team to call me... all the way to Australia and resolve my problem over the phone! Just because you read a book bad mouthing Google, doesn't mean it's all that crap!!

I took JustinConnor's reply and edited it a little, becase the original one was just partly helpful for me, so all the steps: (but still: BIG THATNKS, MAN!)
Delete android wear app from your phone
Download the last good version of ANDROID WEAR - for me it was version 1-1-1-1876095.
Make Factory Reset to your watch (not the sowt refactory reset - but REAL refactory reset through recovery mode with black-background (more of this in the end)
connect your watch to your phone via downloaded android wear app
Factory reset menu should look like black background and console-like words in the front (unfortunately I can't post links because I haven't posted 10 times yet - so forum do not allow me to do that).

I'll admit that my post was born out of frustration, but I do want to clarify that the "book" I referenced was written *by* Google employees and it doesn't bad-mouth them at all. It describes with a great degree of pride their software testing process, and it's a good read for anyone in the industry.
I do continue to be frustrated by many of the design decisions in Android Wear, and I maintain they must have their B-team working on this, or at least on the design. For some reason the "ok google" message started reappearing all of the sudden the other day (after I had gone through the ridiculous steps to make it go away days before). It's probably because I don't use the feature very much, but why do I need to be reminded of this in a way that completely interferes with my watch face? Then I was out for a run yesterday and my offline music playback just stopped at 15% battery. I guess it's to protect me from myself, kind of like how the music transfer from phone to watch automatically stops at 50% battery and doesn't work at all while the watch is on the charger. Offline playback was one of the important use cases for me (jogging without phone!). It works, but it's a poor user experience. Don't get me wrong, I like the watch and I personally think it's the best looking smartwatch on the market. It has some cool features, and it's good enough to keep using daily. But the software is disappointing and it's hard for me to recommend this to any of my friends. I was lucky enough to get a deal on it for about $100, and I'd probably be much more disappointed had I paid full price.
PS: Count me as one of the people really interested to see how this upcoming wifi functionality will work. I can get about 2 days out of this watch when I'm pretty careful with it. I can deal with 2 days. But any significant active use seems to drain the battery quickly. I'm having trouble understanding how a persistent wifi connection with the cloud will not eat through the battery in a matter of just a few hours, but I'm hoping Google will pull a rabbit out of its hat here. I just hope it's more than a half-baked checkmark on the "iwatch versus android" checklist.

My watch wont charge and i cant fatory reset it either, someone anyone know what to do?

Can you be a little bit more specific?
I had Friday the same issue after updating to Android Wear 1.1.1.1901499 with Google Play Services 7.3.36 .
Charging didn't work, because always the pop-up "Unfortunately,.... bla bla bla" so I turned off the watch.
Put on the charging cradle and let it charge until it turned on by itself.
20% charged, so turned off again and keep charging
At 35% I started the "Reset Watch-Game" interrupted several times by the "Unfortunately,...."
After felt 1 hour tapping the message away, the Moto360 finally made a reset, installed the previous Android Version and since then I am fine.
Today Google updated Android Wear to 1.1.1.1901499 by PlayStore, however my Google Play Service stays on 7.3.34.
I suspect Google Play Services 7.3.36 is only for FW 5.1.1 and won't work well with FW 5.02

Me too! I did all of that. I just got new a new replacement note 4 and it was working fine on my previous note 4 but this will not sync any faces or no moto app.
ok I was able to get it working. I factory reset the watch and via android wear I added new wearable device and clicked on sync all app.

Reset my phone three times and no love. I can update the original stock faces but thennew faces never show up
Same thing happened to me today. I've reset my phone 3 times and resync'd many times without any luck. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Finally, I was able to fix it. My case was as follows:
I had paranoid android installed (new faces were fine). Had to restore factory settings on my phone, phone didn't want to sync after I reset my phone so I restored factory settings on my phone. I lost the new faces. Tried resetting the phone and watch multiple times and it didn't work. I went back to stock 5.0 (LRX21O) by following this guide . After restoring my phone to stock, I reset the watch one last time. Paired the phone and watch, customized one of the new faces chose minimal face on watch (still no new faces on my phone), then customized the same new face again, when trying to select another face it only showed one (simple). I chose that one, then tried to change to a new face and viola! new faces appeared.
Not sure what of everything I did was the fixing factor but wanted to share. Hope this helps.
Faced same problem. But i managed to update my 360. Try to uninstall all 3rd party app on ur phone, uninstall motoconnect and android wear. Last step is factory reset ur moto360
Then install motoconnect, install android wear ( do not install any 3rd party app at this stage), go to android wear setting and resync available app. Just make sure your phone screen is on about 10 minutes or so, moto360 will reboot after that.
All new faces and moto body apps will show up eventually - i tried this 3 times.
Hope this may help
Motorola 360 new watch faces not showing up on watch
I had the same problem, new watch faces would show in connect app (particularly the My Design one) and I could customize them but the new ones would never show up as an available watch face option on the 360. It may be related to replacing your phone as the new watch faces worked fine with my Old Note 4 then I had to replace it (because it had a problem) so when I got my replacement Note 4 and reconnected my watch it would never give me the option for the new watch faces even after I "reset" the Moto 360 numerous times. Interestingly for some people the new watch face options don't even show up in their Motorola Connect App on their phone, I think it may be related to their phone OS version. I have a coworker with a Note 3 and the new watch faces are not a option even though his motorola connect app is up to date.
Here is what I did to fix my 360:
- uninstall all apps on your phone related to your watch (Motorola Connect, Android Wear, 3rd party, etc.)
- Reset your 360 back to factory. (not just a restart)
- Wait for watch to prompt to install Wear on phone.
- install wear on phone, it will remember your old watch, pick the menu option to forget that watch though so it acts like this is the first time you are setting up a watch.
- Go through the watch pair and setup routine with the wear app till you get to the main wear screen that shows the watch connected and what your voice actions are.
- Go through the training setup on your watch (swipe, swipe....) till it's to it's Normal screen with your notifications.
- Install Motorola Connect app on your phone, go through the setup and wait till it says "connected" to your watch
- Set your phone and your 360 down and don't touch either for 15 minutes (no new apps, settings, etc)
- Your new watch faces should now be on your 360.
- re install the rest of your wear junk.
Those who have problems syncing , keep the watch on charging and charge your phone as well . do not reset anything. Just resync all apps option in android wear app. They will show up automatically after few mins

After this latest Moto Connect update I'm still waiting to see the new faces in the Android Wear app. I got the update almost 24 hours ago and nothing. I have tried re-syncing, resetting the watch, all that stuff. What is funny is I can go download a new random watch face and within a few minutes it shows up. But the new Connect app doesn't seem to be working. However if I am in the Connect app and "customize" a face and hit "Apply" it makes the watch vibrate. I also cannot change the color of the charging dock face... Crazy, not sure what the issue is.

Have you tried clearing app data for the connect app on the phone, then uninstall it. Reboot both the phone and watch. Then once the phone and watch are connected again, download the connect app.

Yeah. Apparently, and I should have guessed this, it is an issue with my running the 6.0 preview 3 on my nexus 6. So yeah, sucks but M is worth not having a couple new watch faces and a different color charging face.

I thought it was M p3 too, i even removed all my wear apps and reseted the watch XD
Motorola told me to "unoptimize" the wear abb (from the battery options).
I asked if it could not be an incompatibility with M, but they did no know.
EDIT: motorla lvl2 suppoty called, they say that the newer API level in android 6.0 makes it incompatible with moto connect update

I don't have the option to change the charging colors. Swiping down on the watch face does nothing, and there isn't an option for it in Motorola Connect. I'm running the latest Moto 360 software on the watch, and my phone is running OS 5.1.

[Q] How do I prevent the SAME notifications from constantly showing up?

So I did a bunch of searching and either I am in the wrong place, or no one else seems to have this problem, but I am seeing the same notifications showing up on my Moto 360 over and over even after I dismiss them. For example, I will get the Google Now scores for sports events (some for teams I couldn't care less about) popping up over and over and over again even after I swipe them away. They are not even real notifications on my phone - so not sure why they are popping up in the first place. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
You have to go into Google Now on your phone and configure the card settings there. Should be options to no longer see cards you're not interested in, or tweak their content. Otherwise it will periodically update phone & watch with cards - this is just how the service works.
Personally I leave it turned off completely as the benefits are meagre vs demands it makes on phone & watch power. There are more efficient ways of keeping yourself updated on the info you need when you need it, IMHO.

Thanks for the reply. So even if I dismiss the notification on the watch, and there is NO notification in the notification tray on the phone, it is expected that I still constantly receive card notifications on the watch? That seems broken to me...

Ok, I got that, but again, my problem is not that the initial notification shows up, it's that once I swipe it away it keeps coming back. I suppose that's an issue with Google Now though and not the watch.
You are not alone.
I'm having the same issue.
Moto 360 4.4W.2 - Wear Mini Launcher
Moto X (2013) 4.4.4 - Google Now Launcher.
I'm almost certain that those launchers are doing it. Days ago I had a friends's birthday notification poping over and over again, it would back to my watch face in like 5s after I had it dismissed, when i remove wear mini launcher all that stoped.
Today I installed it again, just for sake of testing, since is a very helpful software. The problem started again, but now with a amazon delivery notification, so im uninstalling it.

Sorry to rehash an old topic, but I'm having the same issue..
The card in question is to do with sport, and I do want to see the card so turning off isn't an option, but when I swipe it away I don't want it to come back!
Anyone found a solution?

Nope, it's the way Google Now does sport cards -- if a game is in progress, it sends you constant updates. Even if you swipe the update away, the next time anything changes, it'll just reappear, until the game / match is over (once you swipe away the card for a completed game it stays away, for me). I wish Now was more customizable.

Actually having exactly the same problem and it is specifically with sports cards. LG G3 (Verizon) 5.1 and G Watch R. I'll swipe a sports card away (last game score, next game time, etc.) and it will be back within a few minutes. Very irritating.

Review on the New Lollipop Update to Moto 360

I got an update this morning and was very excited as soon as I booted up after downloading the new update file.
1. Nothing was pretty much interesting as far as lollipop for wear is concerned as compared to lollipop for Phones and Tablets. No vibrant colors, no extended settings, ,
2. Accessibility option has been included which I personally don't care of.
3. Battery Drain - More (To be frank - Worse) than the previous KitKat version. Almost drained 30% (might differ from one to other) with minimal use in 4 hours which would last 8-9 hours with KitKat.
This is the review of my Moto 360. I'd better stick to previous version if I were to suggest and would wait for some patches or stable fixes to the battery issues and some decent vibrancy to the watch. Please do provide your feedback on your Motos.
Thank You.
Do you run Lollipop on your Android device?
I think it'd also be beneficial if anyone posted their reviews with device model + OS version.
I haven't gotten my 360 update yet, but I'll post mine (phone is Lollipop 5.0.1) once I do.
I got my update yesterday. Running HTC M8 GPE on 5.0.1. Battery life hasn't been much different for me, but the voice recognition is terrible now. That was during my initial testing last night. I have upgraded to the latest google play services on apkmirror since then and have yet to test the voice recognition this morning. I'm at work and won't really have time to test it out without looking like a lunatic in my quiet office. until later. I'll report back hopefully.
I got the update here in the Philippines last morning.
The battery is terrible but after I uninstall Facer the battery is normal again.
The notifications is now manageable, I can use priority when I'm busy, show all when I'm not doing anything or none when asleep.
Sunlight mode and the theater mode is OK but not useful for me.
App priority is the best for me, especially when a specific application is being used frequently it makes me stopped using the wear app launcher (though this app is not working at the moment).

Do you run Lollipop on your Android device?
I think it'd also be beneficial if anyone posted their reviews with device model + OS version.

It is not necessary to have a mobile running Lolllipop OS. Because, I'm on 4.4.3 right now .
I'd suggest you to do the following steps
1. Settings---->Apps---->Moto Connect----->Clear Data and Cache
2. Uninstall your Android Wear App
3. Reset your Moto 360.
4. Install Android Wear Again
5. Pair both of the devices.
6. Check for Updates. Now you should be all set with a update notification.

Never said you needed Lollipop, but when reviewing it would be good to know what OS is on the device (and model) and such. Because you may have a variance in behavior, etc, between the OS' and integration of components. As AW5 and the Lollipop Tablet/Phone OS were designed to work together we may see differences in performance (.ie battery life like the user above mentioned) depending on the OS combination, installed components, etc, when compared to 4.4.X devices. Also, since companies have a tendency to bloat up software a bit knowing what phone / OS combination might help too if X users have problem and others don't on the same OS it could be a piece of software talking (.ie Facer was DESTROYING battery performance w/ their most recent update the other day due to changes made for AW5).
So if 10 users have 4.4.X devices and have one performance issue/etc, and 10 users have 5.0.X devices and do NOT have that issue... it helps us with useful information on thigns you may see, based on the users review, if you have a similar setup.
Also that didn't work for me. I tried it last night. Hence why I'm still waiting.
Are you using Facer? Have you switched to the Facer for Android 5 face on the watch yet?
see-> http://www.reddit.com/r/Facer/comments/2p2in2/battery_life_android_wear_5_duplicate_watchfaces/
When you receive Android Wear 5, please switch to the other Facer watchface. It should be called "Facer for Android Wear 5." Please note there was an issue with the names and an update is rolling out that fixes the names.[/qoute[

I got the update too. The biggest problem is that it stops notifying from time to time and requires a restart. Battery life seems as good as before.
I have the same problem with notification. It stops and I need to restart the watch.
Voice recognition is almost absolutely worthless now with new update. I try to send a text.. Doesnt recognize the "send command", let alone string it all together in one phrase "send text to (contact's name) hello." which is said as "send text to john hello period"
I have to now say each part of the command separately. "send text" to whom? "john" message? "Hello" and when I said period, before it would put a period, now it spells out period.
There really is not difference with this new update, except there were some bugs with facer/watch maker syncing.
Battery life is the same. Im running Lg g2 5.0 alpha build and battery seems fine.
Also, when i delete an email through Gmail on my watch, it vibrates confirming it was deleted. I dont like this very much, and wish it could be turned off. The new option "tilt to wake screen" seems to make the screen turn on very easily, just by rotating your wrist instead of lifting and rotating your arm. This is good and bad. Good it makes it easier to get the screen to come on without such a defined motion. Bad because I found it turning on when i didnt want to (typing, driving, doing daily tasks, etc). Which i would think will waste more battery.
How do i get my update i reset it like 4 times still nothing ?
How can you give an opinion on battery life when you've had the update less than a day. The download and install process alone take a large chunk of power then you have to take into account settle in time and you playing with it more than usual to see what's changed.
Updated last night, connected to my stock rooted Note 3 (4.4.4)
Using watchmaker
Battery last night was horrible.
left for work this morning at 6am and I am at 75% right now at 3pm. Been getting notifications all day long at least a 4 or more per hour.
I have not had a chance to test speech Recognition yet, besides "ok Google" a few times.
So far been very happy with update.
What are your settings? Tilt and ambient settings?

I can't believe more people aren't talking about this. I am experiencing the same thing. My battery life is fine.

Anyone else struggling with consistent voice recognition?
Update has been perfect for me. Batter life is still amazing. Have about 60% left after 10 hours off charger getting at least 8 notifications an hour. Not including phones calls ( 3 and hour give or take).

New watch different?

I have just bought a new 360 for my son, having owned one myself since release.
He is having issues...
The watch appears different, it says it's up to date but is on version 1.1xxxxx, whereas mine is on 1.3xxxxx
The settings options are very basic compared to mine: swiping down only gives option for mute, whereas mine offers notifications, cinema mode, brightness boost and options. Opening settings gives me lots of stuff including torch, his is extremely basic. Also in the actual android wear app he has fewer settings
It keeps disconnecting from Bluetooth
My design doesn't show up on the phone even though on the connect app he can select his image etc
He has a Sony z3 on 5.1.1, I have an s6 edge on the same.
I bought mine in UK and its black, his we just bought from the US (we're on holiday) and is silver.
Any ideas what's happening?
If you just received the new watch, it likely doesn't have the latest Android OS installed. From the Settings>About screen it should report Android OS: 5.1.1. Once that is up-to-date, it should eventually receive the Android Wear update 1.3.0.

Yes you are correct, that bit is blank. How can I get this to update?

Interesting; that shouldn't be blank - it should report what the current version is (4.4.4 or 5.0.2, etc).
You can try going to Settings>About>System Updates. In most instances, you just need to wait until the update servers reach out to the watch and push the update. There are various threads here where people outline various gyrations of factory reseting the watch, and uninstalling/reinstalling the Android Wear app on the phone. I've never done any of that, and just wait (im)patiently for the update notification to show up on my watch. You'll then need to ensure the battery is > 80% charged to allow the install/upgrade to occur.

You're right, today it's saying an update is available, however it keeps failing, "something went wrong"?
Try factory reset and pairing it to your phone instead of his until it can update, then reset and pair back to his phone

Sorry for the late reply, long couple of days
His watch has now updated to the same version as mine, and all appears good
Thanks again

Moto 360 Nexus 5 absolute buggy hell

I just received my Moto 360 and went through the pairing process (after letting it charge to 100% to complete the update) and everything went wrong. I went through this process several times and everything seemed okay, then I noticed the time was 9 hours out! nothing would fix it. Furthermore, the watch would not sync my apps properly, apart from hangouts and google music which, upon attempting to open would tell me that my "google wear app needs updating on my phone."
I can't make this thing work. I regret buying it. My nexus 5 is on android 6.0 and my google wear app is completely up to date. I am now updating my phone to 6.1 to see if that addresses the issue, but nothing i do seems to fix anything. This is seriously getting on my nerves! Anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks
I'm sure you tried everything, since I change ROMs regularly I have found it a slow sync process., every time was different. Is it a refurbished or new also do. You have a option to exchange it. Also once the watch starts updating you kind of have to let it sit awhile to fully set up, and reboot the phone also so the the play store updates, the check for updates on the watch. Make sure you uninstall ware and reinstall if you start over. It still to me a first gen product software. Once you get it going it awesome. Good luck.
