Sony Smartwatch 2 and Marshmallow 6.0 - Sony Smartwatch 2

Hi all,
My first post on here for many years - the last being in the days of 'Pocket PCs'.
Anyhow, I have just ordered a Sony Smartwatch 2 and I realise it's old tech but I'm hoping for some basic functionality - mainly notifications.
I've seen some have run it with Lollipop 5.1 or 5.1.1
I have the HTC M9 running 5.1 but an update to 6.0 should be fairly imminent.
So for the Smartwatch to run, should I stick with 5.1 or brave the 6.0 update?
Any advice very welcome.
Thanks
@sonnnet

I am using SW2 with nexus 5 since 5.x up to current 6.0.1 w/o any problem.

Thanks @chuotdx, that's really helpful.

I'm also using SW2 and afraid it won't work on 6.0, it's a good news to us.

But can you test if this app still work on 6.0.1(both photo and video)? It is a remote shutter app from Sony to control your phone rear camera.

Please report when your M9 up to 6.0 and test this Sony remote shutter app. Yup, sw2 is an old tech but it's battery friendly, Android Wear is very power draining so I still prefer to stick with SW2.

Android 6.01
Hi,
i'm using HTC ONE M8
CM13 (Android 6.01)
SM2
SM2 works fine. Install Wearable Widget from Play Store

hei,
I am using sony sw2 with Lg G3 with stock mm 6.0. All things working like before on 5.0 and 4.4.

i had to go back to an earlier version of the camera extension as it was taking a lot of battery on the smartwatch since I upgraded my Xperia Z5C to Marshmallow.
I thought the battery was going on my SW2 but its fine now, I get a week between charges.

1.5 update: new watch face, 3 new ringtones, rollout starts today (24 June)

Not on and English site yet, but here it is in Japanese.
http://consumer.huawei.com/jp/press/news/hw-478102.htm
translation
In this update, watch face-related enhancements and various bug fixes have been made.
The enhanced part, some face corresponds to the color display in the energy-saving mode
"Roman 3D" is added as a new watch face.
new ring tones "Bounce," "Dream it possible", "Spring"
bug fixes: Bluetooth disconnection fix, phone call interrupted fix, cycling is misidentified as climbing fix, tilt-to-wake improved, Google map rotation fix, unexpected restart fix.
Has anyone received it yet?
nothing yet here..... but im excited
Tried to force update. Restarted watch a couple of times. Says I'm up to date but still on 1.4. I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.
effing brilliant!!! So pleased, i just got one and have heard about the red screen tint and that 'upset' me so seeing a fix in the works is great.
C'mon . . . .C'mon - so impatient - checks for update again . . .
Nice find. Waiting for OTA
I got it earlier today. I did TWRP backup, but restored back to MEC23L to see if I could get it again and capture the OTA. Seemed a little faster, probably placebo.

Can u post pics of the new watch face?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
I couldn't find it. There was just Roman, like normal. No "Roman 3d".
Has anyone had any luck? There's nothing in the UK at the moment, except euroscepticism
Can someone capture the OTA please?
Can someone post the OTA?
thanks for the info... waiting for the OTA
I just received the update! It's not a big improvement. A couple bugfixes like bluetooth! Just 3 new ringtones and a new designed Roman watchface. Pretty cool tough! Can't tell if the red circle is gone because I didn't had that problem. I got the update right after I restored my watch because I had a lot of bluetooth connection problems. http ://imgur. com /a/Qfd5p (please remove the empty spaces)

Just exactly the same as the Roman one. Except there is a 'shiny side' when you tilt your watch. And when you're watch goes into dim mode it's a little bit different. Look my post above.

For the new Roman 3D watchface you have to look for it in settings and then 'change watchface.' Have fun

for those who have gotten the update and use Google fit, can you keep an eye on your step count? when my 360 sport updated to 1.5 my steps dropped like 40% and others have reported the issue as well (though it seems like a minority.) I want to hold off updating my hwatch if this is the case.

So it came in with TWRP installed? I have that and a custom rooted kernel and nothing yet. I wonder if I need to restore to stock to get the OTA?
Would anyone please capture the link of OTA zip file? I'm on the stock FW but still don't receive 1.5. Can't wait for it!
Since those that have gotten it just like to post they they got it. Whats the process of catching it so I can share whenever i get it

The Honor 8 has Android 6.0 on the device. If we release an update to Android N, we'll announce it on our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/usahonor/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Honor_USA) pages. Check out our social media sites for future software updates! (ED)
I love it so far. I have tried many unlocked phones, Huawei, OnePlus 3, OnePlus x, idol 4s, and others. This is the 1st one running marshmallow, that I get all my notification right away. Including Gmail. With most of them, I wouldn't get them until I unlocked my phone. The battery is crazy good when not in use. And as good as others while in use. The size is so much easier to handle than 5.5 screen. I do miss the speakers from the idol 4. This one isn't bad for bottom, but as with all very easy to cover. Software works amazingly well. Doesn't have some of the quirks the OnePlus had. Looks amazing, and camera is great. Pretty cool that it says honor on the phone too.

The Honor 8 is equipped with two main cameras, which, appropriately, have two advantages: low-light pictures can be brighter and images could be clearer. For me, this is the best thing that I like.
overall a good device,
emui colud have been better,especially with the ios look
Stunning Specs,Great Looks And Loved The Overall New Designing Idea...... Awesome......
This phone is so sexy
I would like to buy one soon, but I really hope the Kirin won't be a big issue for development

please tell your software developers :
Why does Honor think that cutting out the ability to remove notifications from the lockscreen is a good idea?
Why is the ability to expand notifications removed for example: 2 Whatsapp messages , and if i want to see each message individually you would normally swipe down so the notification expanded!
- no quick reply options - no face unlock, location unlock, on-body unlock, or any other smart unlock options except for Bluetooth - Only shows music controls for the stock music app and Play Music, not any other music apps - Doesn't show album artwork in the background when music is playing
The standard Android lockscreen does all of this, I can't understand why they don't just use that instead. Hopefully they will in future.
Please try to fix this problems as soon as possible cause this is bothering everyone every-time they want to see a notification.
Overall I'm satisfied with this phone. Many pros, a few cons -easily scratchable screen is my main complaint here. Some lags here abd there, and in google chrome, sometimes, bit nothing which prevents a smooth experience.

Auto Speaker

I have used two apps Auto Speaker and SpeakerPhone on my previous phones basically uses proximity sensor to switch between earpiece and speaker which is super convenient for me. That said neither work on op5t and its stupid dialer. Any suggestions options?

No need to be rooted.
Just look in Apps, you just need to install.APK and give permissions.
Google dialer does not have this option. I love proximity speaker as well. Hopefully we start getting more roms, like purefusion that integrate this feature into the dialer

I never know what to look for often there are multiple variations with multiple threads etc...like the google cam, no idea which one is new which one isn't is is gcam or google camera all in one etc, i have it installed now, one of the versions works nice other than the apps for automatic speakerphone still don't work.
If somebody could explain to me how to find the latest apps and all the apps available other than scour through hundreds of pages I would appreciate it.

XDA and OnePlus community has something new everyday, so is just you have to read read read, download and try installing. Next day you will find updated version of App, update. If you don't like latest update, revert back to old version.
All about community is to try beta versions and help developers by feedback and having fun modifying your device with your choice.

How was your experience using Super Night Mode?
For me, It works fine. I dont take pictures often specially at night. Still usable though during the day if you want to use it since the range of iso and shutterspeed is wide.
But it would have been better if huawei included the gesture navigation also.

Super night mode doesn't exist any more it was phased out and renamed night shot or night mode depending on region, super night mode was there out of the box and about a month to 2 months ago depending on region rebranded to night mode/shot but functions the same.
When navigation gesture will be available for ine-lx1

I wouldn't say that, I mean it maybe out of beta but further versions are being pushed out by the looks, 162 is on server but still not available here yet..
Using version 9.0.1.156 has fixed all the lagging and the camera not working. Been out of beta build for over a month almost 2 now in Australia.

Pie update released

Downloading the update right now. TA-1095 Denmark
TA-1100 Romania. No sign of Pie yet.
I have successfully installed on TA-1085 in the USA.
TA-1095 (Sweden) here that got Pie a couple of hours ago. Some settings I previously missed is now there (removing charging sound, hiding notch and displaying battery-percentage in notification area).
Can someone send me a screenshot of the build number.?
How does Pie run on the phone? I like to wait until I hear feedback about a major OS update before installing it

Downloaded Pie two days ago and so far it's a huge improvement. Biggest of all, the speaker phone volume problem was gone with the update.
