Hey guys. Just a general question here. And, some sort of a poll here too.
Would LG roll out Android Oreo for the next update or Wear OS 3.0? Do you guys think that LG would continue to roll out updates for this watch?

Watch was abandoned way last year
Unfortunately, R.I.P this great watch....
Actually, I would guess yes - WearOS is now a layer over the firmware and it is updated as an app.
Google has said that "all devices currently on WearOS 2.0 will get 3.0
Yess definetly! They said only the LG G Watch won't get the update

Android Wear 2.0(one we have in lg urbane) != WearOS 2.0, so i think we won't have any updates.
I received the Wear OS 2.1 update today. Long live the Urbane!

It is not a "system update" but just a Playstore update for the watch UI, no change in OS
Automatic if your Playstore watch apps update is set to "auto" or manual if not.

Yes, the left/right/up/down swiping is more intuitive and the notifications are more detailed. The watch seems snappier for most things, except the Play Store. This update fixes many of the mistakes Google made with the 2.0 update (like swiping left or right to change the watch face).
Just a heads up that my brother's LG Watch Urbane got the new UI update today. My Huawei Watch still hasn't, but that's besides the point. The update is going to happen,
I got it this morning
Also instaled 2.16 when watch few days ago offered. But don´t know, in my watch battery keep less than with older version. Will do reset today and will test tomorrow. I think that less lasting battery is because of much more notifications from phone, but will see tomorrow. I have W150.
It's great to see that our watch is still updated !
I find as well that batery life is less as before.
Before update, i could finish the day with 50%, and now, i finish at 30%.
Just got the update today!
Wow it is a lot quicker and more smooth. They added cool stuff like battery saving mode, more settings when swiping down, easier to read the notifications and so on...
I actually liked it a lot and happy to see it still gets the UI updates. I cant tell anything about the battery life since the update happened a few hours ago. Great work LG!

Lastly, if you happen to own an LG G Watch R, you’ll be happy to know that the upcoming update does enable WiFi capability. After the Android 5.1.1 update, many LG G Watch R owners were quite upset to find out that their watch was left out of the WiFi upgrade. LG later stated that a future update would add the functionality. It looks like the next OTA update will keep LG to their promise by finally enabling WiFi..

that sounds great, thank you for sharing.

States in the first paragraph of the linked article:
Google originally scheduled the launch for July 28th, though we’re hearing the timeline has shifted to sometime in August.
Welp, its the 28th and I've got nothing on my end so far. I'm guessing August for sure haha
Its now August 10th and still nothing.

I received the update for Android Wear today and it doesn't seem to change anything to the GWR. My watch is still the same since I bought it.
Do you guys suggest moving back to the stock ROM from LeeDroid's one, so we can get the OTA?
Is everyone on 5.1.1 via an OTA update? I just got my GWR yesterday and it refuses to update, even after factory resetting at least 8 times. I'm still on 4.4. Several months ago I had a Samsung Gear Live, which received the 5.1.1 update on the first day.

I think they paused the update because the new one is on its way. There's talk, the new update is coming later today, so they will probably update all the watches then.
From what I've been reading the Android Wear 1.3 update should be rolling out over the coming weeks.
Overnight updated to 1.5.0.3269884. Any one know whats new?

This was quite a big update. Mine needed ca. 1/2 hour to update with several restarts and I needed to reset to factory and configure watch again resulting in 50% battery-loss.
So, I have a new watch (that I haven't opened, yet), and I'm thinking that I should just wait for Android Wear 2.0 to come out before my first usage, rather than install an update now, and another big update in a couple of weeks.
What do you all think?

Well as far as I know its never been confirmed our watch (original urbane) will get 2.0 I don't know they have made a statement either way actuallu. Now if you have the lte urbane yes you will get 2.0 but waiting seems silly either way. You spend all that money on a watch why not use it?
Yeah not really understanding the thought process on that. You've bought it. Just use it and enjoy it. Android wear 2.0 will be a nice chance if we get it, but there is nothing wrong with the current software.

on spanish lg urbane site it states that this watch has 2.0
as a physical button is a requirement (which the urbane has) it's very likely to get 2.0 while seeing they are putting out a good job delivering security patches.
I've read numerous sources saying the Urbane will get Wear 2. And given that it's LG's last generation of smartwatch behind only the Urbane 2nd edition, and that it fulfils all hardware requirements to get the update, it really wouldn't speak well of LG's support for their hardware if they refuse to give it the update. And strictly speaking, the Watch R should also get it given that the only difference between it and the Urbane is visual, but as that is two generations back it's perhaps expecting a little too much.
I for one will be p****d if LG leave the Urbane behind with this update.
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?

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).

Not really, the complaint level of AW2 is so high, of laggy performance, we may be having a favor done for us as tuning is being done before we get. There was an update for earlier released watches this last day which is getting positive feedback. So that is making me think we'll get it very soon now, I think tomorrow.

Lol swing and a miss. The wear 2.0 developer preview got taken down though, so either its coming soonish or we're just getting f***** on this one. All the indications are there.why would we buy the watch sport if we can flash the 2.0 developer preview?

I downloaded and saved the most recent AW1.5 and AW2 DP. I tried AW2 DP and it was awful, so went back to AW1.5 which I saved in case when AW2 officially released it is still awful.
We're being done a favor getting AW2 late but now I see happy noises on the June release, I'm seeing less reason to wait. But if there is a reason its no bad thing. The only thing I can't do is Android Pay.
If anyone does have the time to try AW2 then by all means flash DP and realize its a totally different everything interface, as I've been on AW now >2 years I find it awkward interface, noobs would take less retraining.
Someone likely has the googleapis link, I just have the file locally backedup.
Android Wear 2.0 fow the W200* is finaly here (well via OTA in Korea... For us via adb sideload )
Here it is the file: http://android.googleapis.com/packa.../af88cfbc96ad65e7b728e27c2decbdc6fb0e08e8.zip
P.S. It works perfectly! Android pay too!!!
Anyone tried the Korean firmware ? I didn't think 2.0 was that bad at all. Few things to fix but added a lot.

I updated earlier today. Made my first successful Android Pay purchase this afternoon. I never tried the preview so I'm still learning all the tricks/quirks of 2.0.
Sweet . Very cool , are you a US model though ? And did you use an OTA update or use PC with unlocked bootloader to flash it ?

Yes I have the AT&T model, W200A. I used the minimal adb and fastboot tool to sideload the zip file from my PC. I didn't have to unlock the bootloader.
i updated my w200a today with the korea version. however it felt more like another preview than a final release. Lag is present like on the preview, overheats somewhat easily and the battery drains way faster when you are using it than when you are on 1.5. At least this is my case on the w200a. I did a fsctory reset to see if that solved but no. Same result.
I have the at&t urbane 2 LTE (unlocked)
Until today I was running developer preview (nemo-nvf41u-factory-e269c504)
I had an update come through which has given me:
build number NXH20E
(ANDROID WEAR 2.0.0.159006699)
with security patch 1st May 2017.
The top and bottom buttons are working (re programmed through the options)
Android pay works.

I'm in the US and I updated using ADB and the file captured from the ota in Korea and these numbers match exactly to mine.
Found any bugs/issues yet? I've had an occasional lag or two. Android Pay is working and I've successfully tracked runs with GPS using ghostracer paired to the phone through cell data (my main usage requirement).
Not found any bugs on mine.
I have a few side loaded apps that may have been causing the odd glitch now and again whilst on the developer preview, but nothing since the update.
(Side loaded es file explorer so I could use MP3 ringtone on the watch & Google drive to download / upload)
I'm in the US with ATT version. Just got OTA last night. So far so good.
On Pie and November update sideloaded. Using Nova launcher
Have started getting phantom notifications. The phone vibrated, lock screen lights up but nothing there.
Have done a reset as always do after update.
Any ideas?

Ask Nokia then, i only got the service update, so something is going on there. They have pulled the update because problems, now they are sending it again wich have no sense at all and now they are sending also another update only with security update. I don't know. Happy anyway that is not a bug!

You are right. It makes no sense what they do with the updates. Being late, I can understand that, but having 3 different versions of updates for the same phone is crazy (it is kind of the same thing of what they do with the phones versioning numbers: 7, 7+, 7.1, 7x and now 8 which is actually 8.1 - mad)
Anyway it looks like their focus is on releasing more phones than optimize the released ones. I think in the 2 years they were banned from releasing phones after the transfer from Microsoft, they developed the phones and they are releasing them now every 2nd month.
Sorry for the long post, I had to let out some of the steam.
Seems a common feeling with most Nokia users.
Something that baffles me is that the media such as android authority and others keep praising the company and recommending them as superb phones. That bit is true but nobody seems to be picking up that it's not really Android One without regular updates.
Anyway, I'm ranting now. Maybe we need a ranting thread. :silly:

I think we all feel a little bit cheated. Thinking at it though, it is only the Pixels and Essential phone (don't think OnePlus has it) that have November security patch.
And the phone is a very good one (hardware at least).
This is it. All steam is out.
