Only thing I'm really having issues with so far is the LG health app, otherwise i haven't ran into any issues at all. Also i love the new keyboard.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Carrot0080:
Have you solved the draining issue? I had too flashed the stocked firmware after un satisfaction from wear 2.0 and now battery couldn't get through a day
[LG Watch Urbane 2] smatofu:
I tried Wear 2.0, then I restored 'stock' firmware provided by Google twice. My battery life is half of what it was before. Big regrets for going through the 2.0 Preview.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] PJcastaldo:
So you guys think jumping to the preview is a bad idea? What have you the poor experience? Apps not working or performance?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] PJcastaldo:
So I flashed the preview.. honestly I have no gripes. In a little more than a day only crashed on me once. And all the apps I use work fine.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
I'm getting all day battery life, zero crashes with AW2.0. Only downside is top side button (Contacts?) doesn't work. I haven't added any apps so I can't rule out instability from that, but many apps did transfer from my Moto phone auto-magically and they haven't crashed it (yet)
[LG Watch Urbane 2] PJcastaldo:
Noticed the same about the top button..
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Nitemare3219:
So far so good. First boot took awhile.

Animations are a little buggy. Also noticed that swiping to go back no longer really works except or maybe in Google apps. Seems like I have to use the side center button to go back now. I do like how OK Google seems to work outside the home screen as well. Overall the watch is a lot more functional - for instance, before it was a pain in the ass using the watch for GP Music since the volume, track skip, pause/play, and song info were all pretty much separated. Now they are all together. Make switching songs a lot easier. The watch can also go into ambient mode with that screen to quickly control music again rather than going back to the watch face.

I have noticed though, as of right now anyway, my watch isn't responding to any voice commands. It sits there to think for a minute but never actually does anything. Anyone else having this issue?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Great service CHEAP!

Bought a H2O Wireless nano-sim card at Best Buy & stuck it in my LG watch Urbane 2nd Ed. LTE. Coverage is great here, better than TMobile, and the cost for a light user like me is 2/3rds or half of AT&T's $45-a-month. Tricky getting the back off the watch, the AT&T sim out, the H2O sim in and the watch back cover on, though.

[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Were you able to pair to your phone through cell data and leave the phone behind using H20? I used a H20 SIM at the end of last year (I have the original release urbane 2) and I could use SIM for calls/texts from the watch's number but the 'network state' in the settings>cellular> SIM status was always disconnected (cloud with line through it when away from the phone). I believe it was related to the APN settings not working and no way to edit them. I also tried a Ting SIM with the same results. I switched to Truphone in January and haven't had any problems.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Making and receiving calls is no problem, either using the H²O sim's newly assigned number or using my Google Voice number. Google's voicemail assignment worked, I just dialled the number string that Google Voice said to dial. Google Note works, it updated my grocery list, np.

If you're asking about AT&T's proprietary phone linking software, I don't have an answer for you, my smart phone isn't on AT&T. My main number has been the Google Voice one ever since Google Voice came out.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
I don't use AT&T either on the phone or watch. I was referring to the regular pairing the watch was designed for when away from your phone. It uses the cell data on the watch to pair to your phone like Wi-Fi works on other Android Wear watches. You still receive email notifications from the phone, use Ok Google, etc.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Yeah. Only weird, watch-only behavior I've observed is the pop-up controls for YouTube that appear on the crystal whenever I play a video on the Moto phone. And that still happens. Not sure if that's what you mean. Tell you what, pick the one watch/smart phone function you most need, write out a (short) instruction list that tests it, and I'll check it out & get back to you here and report how it goes.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
That's alright. I was just curious if the data connection worked when using the H20 sim. Basically when you're not paired to your phone through bluetooth or Wi-Fi you still have the same notifications from the phone to the watch and the 'cloud with a line through it' doesn't appear. I could never get that to work with H20 so I switched to Truphone.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] felek73:
Hello , I own european version of the watch. I tried to flash DP on my watch but I can't connect my watch with laptop running Win 10 while in fastboot mode. There is no problem with conennection using ADB command when system is booted but my PC can't see my watch when in fastboot mode. Did you install any specific driver on your PC ?

What device you see in Device Manager when you are in fastboot mode ?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Not sure if this will help but I connect watch in normal mode. Then I check for connection by opening a command window and typing "adb devices". If the watch's id number comes up then I type "adb reboot bootloader".

None of those will work unless your USB drivers are right on the Win10 computer (you'll hear a door-bell-like sound on the Win10 computer when you connect the watch via USB successfully).

Also you must have enabled developer mode on the watch and enabled ADB on the watch in developer settings.

Finally you must have gotten a screen on the watch asking if you want to accept the ADB connection (Choices: one time only, always from that computer, or never.)

If you intend to use cellular connectivity at all, avoid Preview 2
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Cellular connectivity

I "fixed" the cellular phone problems I had on my LG Urbane 2nd Ed. LTE that started after flashing the new Android Wear 2.0 (nemo-nvd83h) by re-flashing it. Still haven't been able get anything to download over LTE in any app I wrote, though. But, full disclosure: I couldn't get it to work before, either.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Lokifish Marz:
Did you notice the extra heat generated as well?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] shaarky:
I must say that the 2nd preview - nvd83h - is kind of "alpha" stage software and I don't recommend anyone to install it. This is clearly not an OS ready for daily use, let me tell you why / kind of personal pros and cons after two days of usage :

cons :(

- newly designed menu (circular shape) is clearly not propagated to all settings/menu level

- some of the swipe gestures, you can forget about them, the usage control / control logic and end user experience is catastrophic here - eg. swype left (or right,not sure) is for default watch face setup

- overall necessity to use HW buttons is like 300% higher

- battery life - a disaster - like I lost 50% of the capacity - maybe due to the fact that Wifi is always on ? (as per - http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...is-out-nvd83h-makes-some-significant-changes/)

- some of the apps / faces are still not compatible (which fully understandable, it's just preview)

- "OK Google" don't work - it simply says "Language not supported, open on Phone" (yes, I don't have English on the phone but still...)

- if you would like to call someone, you can't now use watch buttons to navigate there

- when setting brightness, you don't see actual level, you can just "guess"

- no Theater mode / no quick brightness boost mode

pros :good:

- new and better organized pull down menu

- ability to write test on the watch without need of 3rd party apps

- connectivity menu does contain now all sections / wifi / cellular / GPS / Bluetooth etc.

- gray background instead of white (but why not BLACK directly)

- scroll-bar for notifications / menu

So overall for me very bad. I was expecting from the next version something already more matured but this is not the case. But if some things are not going to change (way of watch control), I will even not go for Wear 2.0.

If you are interested, I recommend also to see Known issues list - https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/support.html

Luckily if still someone wants to test it, it's good that you can re-lock the bootloader so the Warranty I would say should NOT be void unless LG has got some "special" tools. Simply follow instructions on the page with FW download.

Btw, if you don't have ADB/Fastboot, simply install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118.

Did you just reflash the radio? Did it fail again after reflash or is cellular always working afterwards? I want to give the dev preview another shot but I want to make sure I'll have cellular.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
I re-ran the "flash-all" batch file to restore cellular connectivity.

Now the watch makes & receives calls again. However, I remember now that, when I first got my new Urbane 2nd Edition home, it wasn't until the next morning that cellular connectivity happened.

no issues at all for me, battery is enduring 36 hours with regular use (wifi on, cellular off) , also using facer with no issues running on	nvd83h where did you get mfd18L ?

Via regular/OTA update.

[LG Watch Urbane 2] nicromant:
strange i haven't received that OTA, did you try manually updating through system settings then check for updates using bluetooth connection with data from phone or did you try using watch's own wifi/data?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] shaarky:
Honestly I'm not sure...I just installed the previous/last official version / with factory reset from recovery and then I got it (MFD18L). Note I have W200E version (3G not LTE). Also I didn't check how it was downloaded, I assume via Wifi as it was "quite" quick.

Hey all,

Just a quick question. I have the LG W200E Urbane 2nd edition and have successfully flashed AW 2.0 dp3. I am trying to connect it to my iPhone 7 (iOS 10.1.1) and the procedure hangs at some point. The iPhone thinks the watch is connected and the watch says complete the operation on the phone.

Has anyone tried this?

UPDATE: I tried connecting the watch to an Android phone and I am stuck in the same point. Will AW 2.0 only work with beta Android Wear app?

Thanks

Anyone know how to access adb without confirming the approval through the device's system menu (my software glitched, cannot proceed anywhere.) -- Can only use the power buttons & the top and bottom buttons.

EDIT: SOLVED IT!

Basically you access the bootloader by turning on the device, sliding from top left to top/bottom right side and after a couple attempts you will access the bootloader where then you have access to the recovery mode and can wipe the data to reset everything.

It is still listed to have. I think the reasons for delay are vaporizing by the day, the issue I had with the AW2 DP was laggy unresponsiveness, not the fact the buttons / rotation (which is different between UB2 and the Watch Sport). Huge quantities of complaints from other AW2 unit releases, are diminishing with the June update. So there was til recently a reason to wait for tuning but now gone.

This could just be as simple as the one per LG employee overworked, but I'm moving into thinking badly about LG's intentions each extra day of waiting, excuses are vaporizing.

I think I will stay on latest stable release	MFD18T. The battery is great. With always screen set to on I get a day and few extra hours. And is smooth no lag whatsoever. I hope soon Android wear 2.0 will be release for Lg watch urbane LTE.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
With the latest 1.5 version i can do 1 hour of exercise with heart rate own and screen on and it only decreases betwen 4%-5% . Then the rest of the 95% i can reach almost 3 full days with it.

I have noticed that the battery performs a lot better in the first half (first 50%) of battery usage than the last half. My watch will stay on 100% till 10:00/10:30-11am most days (taking it off charge at about 6:30am )but by about 8pm it starts dropping down quicker.
