maps won't run unless you update the android wear app - LG Watch Urbane

I bought an Urbane rcently and paired it with my OPO.
Version info on Wear
Version Num: .3.0.2166028
G Play Services: 7.8.99
I am trying to launch the Maps App on google wear and it displays the following error message
"maps won't run unless you update the android wear app".
I cant seem to find a way to update the wear App.
Anybody else faced this issue or help fixingit?
Thanks!

Works fine on my Urbane and S5. I have Android wear app updated to 1.4 on my phone. And on the Urbane it's 1.3.02166028. Google Play version 8.4.89

Works well for me using Galaxy S6. Could be what seems like one of several watch problems when using a One Plus phone.

Worked after uninstalling the ANdroid Wear and reinstalling. Do not ask me why it didnt work the first time. Just like many of the OPO problems with a watch might have been another

TrackID on Android wear?

I know TrackID use to have an android wear app (app appeared on the watch). I tried to launch trackID from my watch yesterday and noticed the app was not there, though it was on my phone. I do not know if the developers stopped supporting Android Wear or if there is an issue with my watch/phone pairing where this app is not being pushed over.
The reason I am not sure is because in the past I have had issues with apps not appearing on my watch, but that was on previous versions of Android Wear for the LG G Watch R, and I have not experienced that lately. Other apps seem to install just fine, leaving me to believe the issue is with the TrackID app (whether not supported, or an issue with the actual app).
Anybody else notice this?
Cheers,
B.D.
Doesn't appear on my Moto 360 either
Does not appear on my Smartwatch 3 too.... -_-
I wrote to the developers right after posting this question and have not heard back to date.
On the Google Play store it no longer says it is supported on android wear, and somebody else changed their review to reflect that it was no longer supported.
Cheers,

Google Play Services and Android Wear need updated?

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?

Wear OS update

I've searched the web, so far I haven't found anyone that has received Wear OS 2.11.0 on their watch. I have Wear OS 2.10.0 which updated on March 9, 2018. I found a list of watches that are supposed to get the new Wear OS and the G Watch R is not on it but Wear shows up as "Wear OS" on my watch. A friend of mine has a Huawei Watch 2, he already has Android 8 and Wear OS 1.1
Has anyone received the new April update on their watch?

Received yesterday.
Screenshot :
Yup I've got it too. WearOS is technically just the launcher skin that the watch runs. No functionality change apart from the branding that I can see.
The thing our watch won't get afaik is an update to oreo.
My watch still does not work with Wear OS. Is there any way to check the update?

I have noticed some improvements in Android Wear/WearOS through the versions. For instance, there was one version of Android Wear that caused my favorite watch face design app (Pujie Black) to not load properly on restart. The next Android Wear version that came along fixed the issue.

Daydream compatibility

Hello all,
I was shocked to find out that the V40 isn't Daydream compatible. I skipped the Play Store and installed the Daydream APK. The setup ran flawlessly, even updating Google VR services, but at the final screen where it shows you the VR view of the forest, a little box pops up saying "sorry, your phone is not compatible with Daydream". Is there a non-root way to force this box to disappear so I can use the V40 with Daydream? it appeared to work fine when I moved the phone around to view the forest in 360. I'm guessing it probably has all the same VR "innards" the V30 had, plus it even has the new SD845. Really annoyed that the V40 doesn't support Daydream. I found a site online with the specs and it mentioned Daydream compatibility. I know there are ways to force Daydream with root. I'm hoping someone figures out a way to do the same thing with ADB. Thanks
Is it compatible now?

Wear os probs

hi team I have my p40pro plus and have gms installed. I have a wear os watch and can't get it to add my Google acc on watch. Has anyone had this issue and is there a workaround ?
Sorry, no work around for the account but you can use the watch by pairing it up without the wipe. Do a search on XDA as I found a thread that tells you how to do it. I had mine working with all the apps loaded via my account from an earlier phone.
