[Huawei Watch] incisivekeith:
On the original announcement (http://officialandroid.blogspot.nl/2016/02/android-wear-designed-for-your-wrist.html?m=1) thread some people pointed out that they have 1.4 on their phones but 1.3 on the watch. I have the same scenario. What's going on?
[Huawei Watch] xceebeex:
Probably because android wear isn't just for this watch and I think the moto 360 is already getting 1.4 so the android wear app had to support it.
[Huawei Watch] Pierreken:
They seem to call it the Marshmallow update, does that mean your phone should be on 6.01? I'm still on 5.0 (note 3) and maybe those won't get the android wear update 1.4?
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
No, that's not what it means. It just means your watch will be running Marshmallow, while your phone will be running Lollipop.
[Huawei Watch] rollerdyke44:
Same here. Phone app android wear updated to 1.4 but watch says 1.3

Btw, considering the past trend, how long after google announcement of OTA (or first reports of other smart watches receiving OTA) does our hwatch usually get the update? Its been 2 days since google announced and I have yet to see reports of one huawei watch getting the update
[Huawei Watch] SomeGuyInOz:
Same here. I'm happy to pull the OTA update from my watch if someone could briefly explain how. My watch is not rooted, so as long as that is not an issue I know basically how to use ADB to get access to the watch. Is the OTA just a single file and where is it stored on the watch?
[Huawei Watch] ghosttown242:
Did you get the update?
[Huawei Watch] thedanks:
somebody help this man please
[Huawei Watch] Franzie3:
I don't think he got it. Just wants to know howfor when he does.

Basically before you install it you need to adb pull the update.zip from the device. The zip deletes after install
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
It's probably easier if you just do a logcat when you get the update notification so you can catch the OTA URL that way everyone can download it from the URL, and root won't be needed in order to pull the OTA from the watch. Someone could use that URL to download the OTA, and then upload the OTA and post the download link in case that URL is changed, or removed.
[Huawei Watch] SomeGuyInOz:
No, not yet, sorry. I meant when I get it if like to know how to share it.
[Huawei Watch] Franzie3:
True but its easier to pull it off the watch and uploaded for everyone to pull and put on there watch then get the URL. Then you also have to realize that Huawei could always change the URL address that URL address may only work for a small group of watches and then they take it down and upload the OTA to a new one
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
I'm pretty sure I addressed the points you made in my origianl post, but we are in agreement it seems like :good:

Pulling it from the watch only works if you have root, not everyone who gets the update may be rooted.
[Huawei Watch] ghosttown242:
I think a week or two after the new watches are on sale ; they will release the update
[Huawei Watch] Motawa88:
That's my guess too. It's March right? Is there a date?
[Huawei Watch] ghosttown242:
Not sure about the date, but i know companies don't let new update hits before the flagship is released. Defeats the purpose of getting the new one. The update is out buy huawei will hold back on pushing it .
[Huawei Watch] foo:
I don't think that the two new Huawei Watches can be considered as new flagships compared to the current versions which are already available. Huawei is just adding two more styles addressed to women, that's all what it is.

As advertisement for speaker support has already started on the Google Shop page for the available versions of the Huawei watch, I'm pretty confident, that the update will come within the next two weeks. Of course this is just a guess, but if someone is not deep into forums and the latest android wear news, potential customers may just take a glance at the Google Shop, decide to buy the watch and wonder why the speaker and the call feature is not working as advertised. This may cause confusion, unnecessary support enquiries and disappointed customers - maybe even result in customers returning their watch.
[Huawei Watch] Motawa88:
Good points
[Huawei Watch] zolom:
Hi

For the new 1.4 version to operate, do you think that the phone should be upgraded to marshmallow or can we stay with lollipop?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] foo:
You can stay on lollipop. The Android Wear version is independent to the Android version of the phone.

Anyone received the update?
[Huawei Watch] XperiaLover:
it seems this update will be so hard to get as Huawei user, why always we have this dilemma? I am really surprised of a company how they deal with the best and high priced smartwatch in the market nowadays.
[Huawei Watch] XperiaLover:
Thanks, but you didn't get my point. Why the update is not immediately rolling out, likewise Moto for instance? How many android wear watch brands available right now? not so many, and the best of, Huawei watch doesn't' deserve the direct treatment? Ok, as for the "next week" meaning, then this might also goes over to 10, or 15 weeks, isn't it?
[Huawei Watch] kpjimmy:
I get both of your points and both are valid. But also keep in mind that OTA's that go out for Android for example, when go out for the Nexus line (the supported ones) when they go out, it's literally weeks before the OTA reaches my devices. I normally manually flash the factory image when available. My take is that they are on schedule and it shouldn't be much longer. This is literally the same scenario when wifi was being announced to devices and when LG G Watch R didn't get it initially....dang, people were mad. Was I? Kinda yea honestly, because it was announced by a LG exec that it was touted to have it "soon". I eventually got over it. And months down the line, yes months, when the wifi feature was updated on the LGWR, I used it for a few days because it took a major hit on my battery..
[Huawei Watch] nano303:
Watch you not make it 3 weeks. Talking like you'll be around forever. Tomorrow is never promised.
[Huawei Watch] Axelsbusa:
Lol haha it's not like the end of the world jeeezzz... maybe it would be for the best to not pronounce anything and just release when done :P updates aaaaaaalways late.....
[Huawei Watch] C3C076:
OTAs for new OS releases from Google are never being distributed in massive "all at once" wave. There are more waves.

First, only small percent of target devices receives it and then there's a wait for any severe bugs to pop up.

This is to avoid situations where severe bug could plague all devices out there;

by allowing a time window to pull down OTA before every device is updated to system containing severe bug.

If everything goes OK for that percent of devices, OTA will slowly roll to the others.

Another factor is to prevent overloading of OTA servers.
[Huawei Watch] compyy:
My phone just booted itself and for the moment i got feeling that it has been updated it self lol, but nothing happened though, still on old SW.

Today i also got black non responsive screen, had to reboot, but no changes ..... Urghh .. :cool:

Hi guys, i have a question : is there a way to become beta tester and get this update? Thnx

[Huawei Watch] galaxys:
Don't think possible unless you work for Google or one of their Developers....
[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
Both of my moto 360 watches have the update now as of yesterday so huawei should be soon. Sure the speaker is cool but marshmallow is also way quicker and more stable. My moto360 is flying on it!
[Huawei Watch] sommesepino:
I think you are right.... Huawei is "a Little slow" about update

Inviato dal mio SM-G920F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei Watch] ironbesterer:
Really? Because the Moto 360 has had the update for about a week now, but the Huawei Watch has not seen it yet.
[Huawei Watch] crawrj:
First off this question was asked long before the OTA released. Secondly the point is that Google releases the update not Huawei. It is rolling out via the normal Google OTA protocol. It will hit the devices in whatever order Google has determined. When an OTA comes out for the Nexus does every Nexus brand get it at once? No. It rolls out in stages. I do wish Google would publish the factory images like they do for the Nexus though. That would make things easier.
[Huawei Watch] Inerthia:
Partially correct.

Google released the update only for Huawei atm for QA/QC. I asked a Google Wear dev if he could release to update so we could sideload it, but he wasn't allowed to.

I guess when Huawei gives a go, the update would be made available.

[Huawei Watch] Motawa88:
Within the next month can mean the end of march, right?
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Yes, it will be March 31st :good:...........maybe LOL
[Huawei Watch] Franzie3:
that also came from huaweiUK, it could be different by country. I think it'll come with the release of their newer watches. Unfortunately we just have to wait. Pretty sure LG G Watch's and stuff will get it before us.
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Yeah, most likely to drop with, or slightly after the new watches. It's ok though, I'm patient enough...I can wait.
[Huawei Watch] esselite:
Lets start asking again from 1st March then.
[Huawei Watch] kedge:
Well got the wear update with sound support on my nexus 6p, now just waiting on Huawei...............
[Huawei Watch] nano303:
Ok my way to pick up the moto 360 360 2 just for the speaker. Putting this B on its box until it's actually SMART then when the update actually comes in I'll return the moto. Huawei again. You suck. Your compared to android against apple. As in you MM is on 2% of device's whereas apple 9 is on 80% of all iphones. Kinda reminds me how slow android is, shameless I would of preferred and ecosystem like Apple where every device Is actually on the latest when it comes out...lollipop is been out for years and it hasn't even hit

Lol 1.2% out of millions of device's that's basically just Google devices, not android.

[Huawei Watch] :
OK, a few posts deleted here. Let's tone down the aggressive ranting please. And continually posting rants all over about any device is a waste of time, and could be called spamming. (against forum rules) So perhaps post a little more constructively, or get a different device and move on.

Some friendly and free advice.

But stop the unnecessary rants over and over please.

Please take this with a grain of salt.

The user ("LG-Mobile") on reddit claims that the update for the Huawei just started in the USA.

"That is the UK Market. US will start to get pushed Sunday/Monday. Get ready and enjoy.

UPDATE: start checking .. http://s12.postimg.org/e3lxoiuv1/image.jpg"

https://www.reddit.com/r/hwatch/com...te_coming_to_huawei_within_the_next/?sort=new

I know this may be just a fake (he also added some kind of screenshot), but maybe it's really worth checking in the US?
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
whether this comes tonight tomorrow or next month.... will the MM update be something that we can sideload? or do we HAVE to be on stock to be updated?
[Huawei Watch] kpjimmy:
I think if you can get a kernel on the watch you can side load it. I think you have to at least have a stock bootloader like any flashing of factory images.
[Huawei Watch] skedone:
One that's a Reddit post is a link to my twitter post and too that other image is so Photoshoped its silly
[Huawei Watch] foo:
The posted image looks a bit odd at the first glance, because the circular bezel was poorly cut out in the image, but at least the blue colour outshines the lower part of the bezel in the right angle. The used camera was pretty bad but some of the hour tickmarks of the black huawei watch are still a little bit visible.

For me this image is not obviously a fake but of course it could be a fake. We will know for sure in the next few days. :)
[Huawei Watch] Motawa88:
come on... why didnt he just photograph his whole arm with the watch? And why no update link? He is clearly lying and he has no clue, what so ever. Just look at his posts on reddit like asking if the "speaker update" is coming.. Its fake.

It probably is just a screenshot from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVIiRFEOe8E&feature=youtu.be 2:48
[Huawei Watch] joe118247:
It is fake. He's cropped it from the beta testers video on YouTube
[Huawei Watch] foo:
Okay, it's obvious that he cropped the image from this video. My apologies for posting this.
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
He knows this, I've already mentioned it to him before, but it seems like he just likes creating issues where there are none.

[Huawei Watch] jerflash:
If Asus gets it before huawei that's when I will be actually pissed but really for $129 the Asus watch comes with a speaker and its pretty much a steal for anyone looking to get into Android wear
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Yeah, it's a steal if you can take the ASUS's aesthetics...it's a terrible looking watch in my opinion. As long as we get the update within the next month it should be fine; it shouldn't matter who gets it first, second, third, etc. :good: I have a feeling that when we do get the update people are going to complain about the update, there's no "winning"...lol

Ya true been using it on my moto360 and its been pretty nice. Made the watch more stable. I hope. It does the same for the huawei watch.

[Huawei Watch] player911:
I actually loved the ZW2. The curved display looks and feels awesome. It also is super thin and the curvature wraps your wrist better. The AMOLED display is fine. The bezels suck. I really can't recommend another watch unless you really want a round display.

But ZW2 forums show Asus said March. Perhaps they are delaying the speaker update to our hardware until they make a formal announcement or new generation releases.

The fact that other non-speaker watches are getting it tells me something is being held back. Speaker support is a huge feature. Maybe they are just doing it so non-speaker watch users don't feel ripped off that their brand new watch doesn't have a speaker.
[Huawei Watch] XperiaLover:
it is really frustrating the long waiting, I agree with you, that does not necessary means no or less bugs. This was my point in the other comment, having the best highly paid watch but worse support. Anyway, March is a week far and let us see.

what you mean with red screens? my hauwei watch is working fine with 5.1.1.... waiting for 1.4 update to use the watch for calling :D
[Huawei Watch] Maher.k22:
Slightly red tint is caused by the sapphire glass, it has nothing to do with the actual screen.
[Huawei Watch] Dima_2005:
Funny thing: I don't have the red tint. I think it's a certain batch of watches that has that tint.

I do look forward to the 1.4 update though. I'd really love to call with my watch :)
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Yes, I'm waiting for that feature. Then I can get my wife to give up her original Gear that still has android on it. She is holding out because she likes to be able to make and recieve calls and texts from her wrist without having to pull out her phone. The latest Gear (s2) has had this removed. Now it's time to get her on Android Wear.
[Huawei Watch] ac16313:
Source for this? Because I'm skeptical. You only see red tint in animations just like in the 6p it might GPU related.
[Huawei Watch] raider2k9:
If it would be GPU related, all watches would have this problem, but on the internet I found only few with this red tint, also mine watch is fine.. maybe it has to do with a not so good charge of sapphire glass
[Huawei Watch] Landon4444:
Red Tint Thread

You all should check out the thread on the red tint issue at the following link. There has been a lot of discussion on this topic since the watch was released.

The article mentions some new features, are these already known?

Offline storage for Spotify songs on the watch

Play songs with internal speaker (okay, I think that's not really a good idea)

New reminder app

New address book

A keyboard

6 new languages

However the article does not mention the possibility to make calls with the watch. I hope they just forgot to mention.
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Maybe the the person who wrote the article is assuming that people already know about the ability to make calls, and is highlighting the things that are not really talked/known about???

Anyway, we'll find out when the update comes, and we'll see if it really starts rolling out on the the 29th of this month.
[Huawei Watch] huso81:
its the flyer from Huawei mentioning these new features, not the person on the article. The person in the article is mentioning that they might have the information that the update might maybe possibly be rolling out on Monday.

Does anyone know (from past experience or otherwise) if it makes any difference whether your Android Wear device is paired with an iPhone or an Android phone in regards to when you receive software updates? ie: Is it likely that the updates would be dished out via Android devices before iOS devices?

Obviously I shouldn't even care or dare to ask about this, because there are people starving in the world, but I was just curious.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Wam7:
I am really struggling with which ones of these to get. My main criteria are sound quality and length of battery. I know the Sony has a display but I am not sure how well this works.

Any informed advice/ opinions welcomed before I make the jump.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
am assuming when you say "sound quality" your referring to your mp3's right? and any other stereo audio feeds?

i have tested the s9 and its good! and cool too! but to be fair, i have not tested a ds970 so i would not know the difference.

hope this helps.. and btw, im using a jawbone if it you would ask. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Wam7:
Thanks for the info. Well at least I should get good sound. I have a Jawbone as well but it's definitely mainly suited for talking to people in noisy environments & not my mp3's!

I think I will go for the S9's as they're a little cheaper (c. £40) on the Bay.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bamse:
The DS970 has severe skipping problems with my TyTN.

I also have a Motorola S705 that have no skipping issues, but the sound is not quite as good although I use it with Sony headphones that should be at least the same quality as those delivered with the DS970.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Wam7:
Got the S9's in the end. I am not disappointed. They sound wonderful but I had to change to the bigger ear buds that came with it to not only improve the sound but also the comfortableness.

Out of the box they were almost painful in my ears after a few minutes. Now everything is very good. Great Bass and very clear sound. Nice controls for next/previous track etc. Slight negative is that for voice calls only one ear is used but I knew this already. Voice call quality is adequate.
