Dear,
I just want ask if this feature in 4X like 2X
Watch this video from 1:16
PLZ tell me .
nope, no such features
OMG its Optimus why not.
Hello everyone,
I have a Xperia Z1(C6906) and an LG Optimus G Pro(E-980) and the lg has this great app called "VuTalk" which lets you respond to text messages or calls regardless of what else your currently doing on the phone at the moment.
I'm curious to see if anyone could find a way to port the app over to the Z1, as i stated earlier i have both devices so w/e files you would require id be happy to supply
Thanks in advance!
I am not sure but I think this thread is in the wrong section, it should be in Themes and Apps for Z1.

There is some concern as to whether or not the LG G WATCH R's chipset has a dormant wifi antenna. From what I've seen it does, and we will be able to make use of this update. This is especially true if the watch urbane is getting the update since both the G Watch R and Watch Urbane have the same exact internals.

The GWR does have the hardware for Wifi. Over on The Verge's article, they quote the android wear lead product engineer, Jeff Chang, "it will be up to each individual device maker to add Wi-Fi to future products, or retroactively update old ones with Wi-Fi support".
This will be Kernel level updates (adding the drivers to connect android wear to the wifi chip). As you mentioned, the Urbane has the same internals at the GWR. If anything, the GWR should be the second most guaranteed to have the support (next to the Urbane).

I'm one of those with a concern about whether or not the GWR supports WiFi as-built. Ideally, it does. I've seen a couple of threads here and at the Android Forums that lead me to the conclusion that it does not. I wonder if anyone ever checked with LG directly to confirm one way or the other.

Actually someone in one of the other threads discovered that the SoC on the G Watch R (Qualcomm MSM 8226) does indeed have the Wifi antenna, so we should be okay.

So then we ought to get it. If LG decides to play stupid about the GWR, however, will it be possible to try and use the Urbane's software to get it running properly?
Seems this WiFi feature will eat battery, especially if it is struggling to access a weak or distant signal.
For what I could read on FCC site, the Watch R does have WiFi chips. It has been tested as BT, BLE and DTS b/g/n.

Yes it does. On YouTube I saw some time ago a video from announcing of G Watch R where on slideshow we can see info about wifi included in GWR. Google said that they start update from LG Urbane which is the same as G Watch R so definetly we will get working wifi

LG was asked which watches would get WiFi support, and they confirmed that the G Watch R and the Urbane are both in line to have WiFi enabled with the 5.1.1 update.
Correction - Apparently some sites are now contradicting this original confirmation, including Phandroid's original article on this. Not looking as good as before...

Do you have a source? I would like to share it with a couple folks. Only credible source I've seen is this

Unfortunately that was the same article I read as well; the author, Derek Ross, said Phandroid directly contacted LG and confirmed this, and Phandroid wouldn't have kept the article online had this not been true. So by that, I'm putting my trust in Phandroid's credibility to confirm something I had all but assumed based on their watches' hardware assemblies.
OK so my phone Android Wear app updated today so what do I need now, my watch to receive an update to see if Wifi and those new features work?
LG nordic has confirmed that GWR will get wifi-support
https://twitter.com/lappydk/status/590244926841053184
Now the question is "when"
Q?
Hi
so if I understand this correct, we need an update for the watch itself aswell as a wear update for this to work?
I got the Wear update today!

Exactly, you need both watch and app updated to use the newest functions
LG G watch R and Urbane will get WIFI - the old G watch won't sadly (since I've got both)
But as people talks about in the G watch thread, how much will it be worth anyway?
You always have your phone within hands reach anyway, and it takes energy to supply an extra antenna
http://phandroid.com/2015/04/21/lg-g-watch-missing-wifi/
I received an update today to the Android wear app with permissions to access wifi? But no Update forced to watch? Anyone else?
no wifi
But it says in the article that lg g watch r will NOT get wifi!!!
Update: A previous version of this article stated that the G Watch R and ZenWatch would in fact get WiFi support with the upcoming Android Wear OTA update. Since then, we’ve received confirmation from both LG and ASUS that those devices would not get WiFi support as originally published. We apologize.
that sucks!

if the urbane is now for sale, doesn't that mean that the factory image is hosted online somewhere? if the urbane and R share the same hardware, wouldn't it be not hard to make the urbane rom run on the R?

Since the two share the exact same internals I would imagine it would be as simple creating an image and flashing it on the GWR. However, we still have not received confirmation as to whether or not the GWR will have funcitoning wifi.
I'd like to bump this, according to the iFixit Teardown the Urbane has the exact same hardware as the g watch r. Wouldn't this mean that the Urbane stock ROM should work perfectly fine if flashed on the g watch r?

Right, so we just need the stock system partition of the urbane(anybody just backup the system prtition) and we could update to 5.1.1 and maybe we will get wifi

That's what I'm hoping for. Seeing as I'm neither able to get a sysdump of the urbane, nor keen enough to just try it out on my only G watch r, I'll wait for someone possibly more qualified to either correct me or try it out.
THE INTERNALS ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME
There are slight differences which could mean that the Urbane ROM will NOT directly boot on the GWR.

Please post a source, i can't agree with that.
http://www.reddit.com/r/lggwatchr/comments/35vqya/lg_g_watch_r_internals_vs_urbane/
Photo evidence enough? Yes, it might work, but equally it might not. We have to wait and see.

The hardware parts are at other positions but they are the same and i think not even at kernel level there is a dfference
The Urbane internal look like nothing more than a minor hardware revision of the R, they are functionally identical. Of course they may not be able to run the same software though, in the same way functionally identical computer motherboard revisions cant run the same BIOS. In linux terms though I suspect there would only be minor differences to the kernel in this case.
So some one find urbane system dump,I will flash it.

Hmm maybe it is the same as the normal LG G Watch R ?
lg g watch urbane is a floap and no one want it, because lg mess up everything at lg g watch r....dammm why i didn't buy moto 360 =/

I had the moto 360 n I have to tell you i take the GWR without WiFi over the moto 360 any day.
lol are you serious? because I can trade right now xD

:good:
The OTA file for Urbane is available. But I think it's pretty much risky...
Wifi is going to be a kernel level update, rather than a system one. Obviously we have 5.1.1 now, which allows for Wifi, but the kernel needs the drivers to let it work. So as long as the wifi adapters are the same, we can try flashing the kernel over?

Same idea as anything else stated here. Also same problem as stated quite often: There's currently no way of rooting the Urbane and thus no way of dumping the system/kernel etc. As soon as Root access is available I'm sure developers (@intersectRaven, I'm looking at you ) will start looking into the Urbane and try porting Wifi over to the G Watch R.
Hi
I've made the update Android Wear 2.0 on my LG G Watch R (through the Play Store).
However, i really do not like the new interface and how notifications are now displayed.
Is it possible de downgrade Android Wear to old version 1.5? How should I do that?
Thanks for your help, have a nice day.

Post moved on the Android Wear forum ⇒ https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/help/downgrade-android-wear-2-0-to-wear-1-5-t3587799
I'd like to know this too. 2.0 was so far a downgrade for me: removed the quick cinema-mode (double click the button), the new cards do not have a "1/3rd visible only" peeking mode, making e.g. music player cards much less useful, etc.
I totally agree with you @nagi603!
I have described how to downgrade to Android Wear 1.5 in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71823043&postcount=3
Thank you. I hate 2.0. Downgrade worked great.
I can't stand it when Google fixes what isn't broken. No Wear wasn't perfect, but 2.0 is crap.

Yup, same opinion here. Wear was way better then 2.0. I also notice a big difference in speed and battery usage.
@nicodvt thanks for the guide.
You're welcome @Chmeleon!
Life saver.
Thank you @nicodvt for these instructions. I am so glad to have my watch back. Google already bricked my Droid Turbo a couple of months ago, so if I had lost my watch too, I would have thought about going to Apple.... These updates break perfectly working equipment. That's just not right.
Thanks
Would this work for a Moto 360 2nd Gen, please?

Hello,
Can I use this with my LG Urbane (w150)?
Hate wear 2.0. It is a real downgrade in all matters....

I so agree with you. Cant believe that got released. :/
Can anyone help how to downgrade to 1.5 in fossil Q Marshall watch ?

This is so helpful - thank you. One question: now I've got 1.5 back on my watch, how do I stop it from updating to 2.0? It's already done it once - reinstalling 1.5 was simpler second time round
is there any option to instal on moto360 2nd Gen?
I know this is an old thread, but something to consider is that with Android 8.0, I'm seeing notifications from apps on wear 1.5 telling me they are no longer compatible when I launch then on my Sony smartwatch 3.
Eventually, you'll have to move to wear 2.x, if you are able (smartwatch 3 is not).
