Wait are there people who didn't get the 2.0 update?

I got it like two months ago... I neither hate it or love it... I don't really see the difference but the using button to go to home is annoying, I miss swipe to go to apps...
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Yeah the Urbane 2nd Edition, Asus ZenWatches 2 and 3 and the Moto Sport are still waiting. I'd like to have Android Pay, but would rather keep everything else from 1.5.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Same here. I like double pressing for theatre mode or triple pressing for boost brightness.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] nigelhealy:
Having tried AW2 DP I concluded it is an advantage to get AW2 later after its had time to be tuned some more. From reading the UB's AW update feedback seems now is approaching the time to give AW2 to the UB2.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] xko:
This means for me that i never ever buy any LG products!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
If lg remove the ability to remove battery from their phones.... Im done with LG too. LOL! Appearently they are considering that.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] lwang9:
It may delay by the carriers, such as AT&T or Verizon.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Alber:
I don't think so. I'm from Spain, I have the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition 3G (LGW200E), european version (without NFC nor 4G), associated to no operator; and still waiting for the AW2 update...
[LG Watch Urbane 2] 809274473lc:
Now It's June.:(
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
yup, nothing here in Poland also... watch with no carrier...
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Nothing here in Florida USA
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Webdroid:
Also nothing here in germany =(
[LG Watch Urbane 2] SuperlativeB:
My bad , not very good with forum stuffs. I've not used Spotify though I'll try it next time I use the watch. Rather bad spot now that we have no idea if we are ever getting 2.0 so I see lots confusion and issues for this already like crazy regular urbane / lte 2 watch. It's crazy to me the original got the update baaaah ! No more watches for me ! Unless they are crazy cheap , def no more new Android Wear.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Isn't the LG Urbane LTE-2 already "crazy cheap"? It's a quality watch that, independently, sends & receives texts, makes & receives phone calls, has bluetooth, plays stored music, keeps "to-do" lists, gets current weather radar, figures your gas mileage, keeps your calendar, reminds you of appointments, even surfs the web. . I paid $349 for mine--CRAZY CHEAP!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] SuperlativeB:
no sir. that is not cheap whatsoever. I got a Gear Live which is like 60 percent more reliable and nicer for 40 bucks with the box in excellent condition. I'm talking you could go on ebay , find just as nice looking of a watch with FULL ANDROID and get it for like between 30 and 90 bucks tops. I don't know what watch you have but mine sure doesn't browse the web , it can't check weather at all by itself , it can't search anything by itself . its pointless. its an expense waste of money unless you only want watch faces and even then its not even easy or reliable. for 350 dollars this needed to be way beyond what it is. way beyond it.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Glad you like it but a Samsung Gear Live's just a second screen for your phone. No GSM, LTE or WiFi radios, just bluetooth. Doesn't even run Android. Without a bluetooth phone nearby to parrot, your watch's just ugly bracelet.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] SuperlativeB:
Nearly the exact same can be said for the urbane lte. If you're phone isn't on you to troubleshoot why you've got no connection the urbane becomes infinitely more frustrating considering how much it should do. With all the tech in there , running AW 1.5 it's basically no different. I've consistently had faster more reliable access and load times with my gear than the urbane LTE. If I could I'd surely return it for a gear S preferably or a gear S3 with mobile data . Those actually have support apps better battery life payment methods etc. LG took our money and ran away , the most info you can get is their Korean Twitter and the tweet on the very last day of may pretty much said " no update , no plans for it. Bye " maybe that's enough for you but for me that's totally unacceptable

Well that certainly looks like the LTE v2 model...

I wonder if the south Korean model has FW that's compatible with the W200A ?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Not sure but at least it's something. I haven't seen anyone capture the link yet for the update. I'll just wait and see if it starts spreading to other locations soon.

The italian LG support is now saying that we have to wait "a few weeks, the approval phase by european operators is nearly completed". We'll see.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] dbpaddler:
So is it worth getting for $150? I keep going back and forth between picking this up or getting the Amazfit Pace. I like the Amazfit I can just plug it in to the laptop and download music, and their running app is nice. But the Urbane 2 is a much nicer daily wear watch, and I do like ghost racer. I just hate Google play and wish music was easier to load.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] 809274473lc:
Maybe

[LG Watch Urbane 2] Patrick Piening:
I got the OTA update to ndroid 2.0

This day i had the message there was an update available.

Updating made it go to AW 2.0

( i have the feeling the celluar network is weaker. not so good data network )
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
What which variant do you have? is it the ATT variant (W200A) ? and you didnt sideloaded? did it just arrive to your watch?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Patrick Piening:
W200A

I have the W200A, it came OTA today.

Previous it had a strong 3G connection now it switched a lot between H and 3G

( i live in the netherlands i dont think LTE works ( frequencies) )
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Jeez finally. Im using the OTA from Koera sideloaded. let me see. I will flash back the 1.5 and wait for the ota to arrive.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Still waiting to see the OTA arrive in the US. It appears to be showing up almost everywhere else, but no mentions from US users that I can find. I'm also using the sideloaded file from Korea. Hopefully it won't take long for the US OTA.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
I just flashed back 1.5 again . will wait until midnight to see if it gets the OTA.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] senectus:
I have a w200a imported from the US to Australia, I'm not using a sim and got the update overnight ota

It's updating right now
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
CRAP! do i need to move to australia or Europe or the other side of the world to get it? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I went back to 1.5 just to receive it. i will wait until 12 am only
[LG Watch Urbane 2] senectus:
Do I have to do anything to get Android pay to show up on the watch?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
12:28 am , AW2.0 upgrade never arrived to my watch (W200A). Appearently the update is really by location (SO SAD)!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] senectus:
It's not location need it's hardware batch based.

For instance this model watch was never released in Australia.... But I got mine already. They push them out in batches so as not to overwhelm the repositories, so be patient it will come!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
By the way. did you test the Korean version? do you see any differences? (i was kind of disappointed at some of the things the removed.

Nevertheless i hope it does arrive soon. I want to move freely whenever i want to from 1.5 to 2.0
[LG Watch Urbane 2] senectus:
nope.. I nearly did that but decided not to.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
Yeah, you have to assign your card.

[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
okay quick question then. do you have any dissapointments on AW2.0? like for instance the ability to go into theater mode by just double pressing the power button? or swiping to the right to open the appdrawer? and things like thaT?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] senectus:
TBH I'm happier with AW2, though due to the setup and fiddling i'm burning through battery :P

The dark card background is a huge improvement.

The ability to reassign the physical buttons is great!

The Gestures are much *much* better

The Assistant is better

Plus of course Android Pay...
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
sounds to me like they didnt make any changes from the korean to the US version then. Can you take a picture of the system info? to be more specific the android version and the build ?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
Additionally, when watch is connected it always shows if somebody is calling you, you don't have to have it setup as "bt headset" that is what I missed the most when switched from w100 to w200

Got it working now. :) all good
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kevinlevrone:
I received the Android Wear 2.0 update today (W200A - purchased in the US, but I am located in Eastern Europe).

I like some parts of it, but for most of the time I really hate it.

I like the fact that the UI is very fluid and (sometimes) there is a keyboard available, but:

- If you get a notification, one wrong swipe in any direction and it disappears.

- There is no customizable canned response list, after all these years. I think Google is outright stupid for not including this feature.

- Some notifications present very long text and the options for replying are at the end, you need to scroll a lot.

- Some notifications do not have all the reply options (like keyboard).

- The notification text is white on black, same as the watch face, hard to read in any light.

- You are asked to press the physical button a lot (application list, back actions), which is again stupid, I would prefer to save the button and do everything by touch.

The only good news is that battery life seems to be the same as before, it does not drain quickly.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] lasica_lwd:
Do you have option about cloud notifications, when your watch is out of phone BT range, likie It was in 1.5? I cant find it.

I cant lunch Telegram neither. I didnt get notification about new telegram message from the phone, and Telegram app on watch doesnt work. I have Korean build, maybe this is the issue.

Anyone having the same issue..?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Alber:
I got AW2.0

Hi,

Finally today I got the update to AW2.0 (watch version: LGW200E, location: Spain).

Cheers
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
Hi,

Did you get official update OTA or you sideloaded it?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Alber:
Official update OTA
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
That's good, anybody got OTA 1.5 w200e link? I would like to check, if mine would update automatically...

Thanks in advance!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Alber:
Sorry, I didn't got the update link (and, frankly, I don't know how to).

I have one question if anyone knows the answer: I know that the european version (LGW200E) doesn't have LTE, but I'm not quite sure about NFC. This is because the italian LG web page says specifically that this version DOES have NFC, but the spanish LG web page doesn't say anything. I read in some unofficial web pages that the antenna (and maybe chip) for NFC is the same than for LTE, so if the watch does not have LTE it neither has NFC. I asked directly to the spanish LG official support and they told me this version does NOT have NFC.

But today I got suprised when I saw in the watch (after the AW2.0 update) a menu in Options -> Conectivity that says 'NFC'. The problem is that Android Pay has not yet arrived to Spain (is comming this year, but not yet), and I can't find any bank app with NFC support for smartwatches, so I can't test it.

Sorry for all this text. My question is: Having an NFC option in the menu means that the watch DOES have NFC or is a 'dummy' option that will appear even if there is no NFC support in the watch? Did LG add this option because other versions of the same watch have it?

Thank you very much and best regards!

I believe W200E does have NFC. Here is a post on Reddit with someone asking about the 2.0 update working with W200E and a reply from someone saying calls, texts, data and AP are all working.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/6kjxbo/slug/djn16ef
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Alber:
Thanks a lot! That would be grate news (I already gave up on having NFC). Really awsome the spanish LG support... :eek::eek:
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
No problem. Yeah I wouldn't trust LG support with info on this watch no matter what country. I've had my W200A since November 2015 and I check their product page sometimes to see questions/responses and it's pretty funny/sad how often they give the wrong answers.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] glenner05:
I have w200e as well. I can confirm android pay does work okay, its available in belgium so rest assure NFC is real on this model and android pay works like a champ!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] tomszom:
I've got update from last last AW 2.0 PREVIEW to NXH20E (W200E, Poland). I think, I did trigger it by checking update (Settings->System->Information).

I think system is slightly more responsive. Once I've lost 3G internet connectivity despite good mobile signal, but after boot it started to work again. Additional hardware buttons now are more usable :). It's too early to say something about battery life, but in my opinion is similar to preview.

AW 1.5 was bundled too much to smartphone (no standalone Google Play), now I use AW2.0 as main phone.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Delete....
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Patrick Piening:
Same here with 3G

My steady 3G went to H or H+ after the update...
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Day 3 on the latest 1.5 for (W200A) and i still dont get the update! REALLY!!!! This is a bad joke. Why do they have to release it in batches and not at the same time for everybody.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
I know! AFAIK, only 2-3 people have gotten the OTA. I am seriously considering just sideloading the Reddit OTA file. I have been able to get all the files from 1.5 system.img so I have all the LG watch faces apk files, so I can reinstall them under AW2.0!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
To be honest i dont care about the watchfaces LOL! I found a watchface that suits my needs perfectly. The other ones i would uninstall it in a second .... But seriously... What the heck with LG and their way to release updates.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
There are two watch faces I really like. How was the sideload when you did it? Why aren't you just going back to sideload the OTA? Was it buggy?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
The watchface i use is named "Black classic watch face" . And because it was somewhat buggy at least for me. I mean Android pay did work and even every app for the playstore. However,,, the watch was heating when i used some apps. Also, i saw lags like on the preview versions. And the lockscreen activates whenever it wants and not whenever the user wants. also the battery decreases faster than on 1.5. I flashed it 3 times and i had the same result. except on the last one. on the last one lag decreased (still present though) but the heating by using some apps remained
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
But everyone is saying this is the same one as the OTA, so I don't get it. Maybe this is why it's rolling out at a snails pace. Sounds like the same as the Urbane 1, when it first rolled out.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Also i dont know if it is only me but the notification icons that pops up whenever i get a notification , when i press it it doesnt do anything. then it dissappears and then what... the only thing left to do is to go back to homescreen and swipe up to see the notification. (I dont think that is how it is supposed to be)
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
I also flashed the OTA file captured from Korea and haven't seen this notification issue. I do see some lag occasionally compared to 1.5. It hasn't been too bad yet. I also received an AW software update (directly from the watch play store) that changed my version from 2.0.0.159006699 (from OTA) to 2.0.0.159861318. Not sure what was updated other than seeing 3 recent apps at the top of the app drawer instead of 1. I'm sure there are other changes I haven't noticed.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
so you had the korean version and you got the update for the w200a been in that version?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Yeah I got the Korean version and stayed with it on my W200A. Had it a couple of days before the AW software update arrived via the watch Play Store.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
did that make a difference in performance of the watch?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
Honestly it's hard to tell. I think the lag was worse right after flashing and has improved. Still get an occasional lag but it doesn't bother me. Usually when I'm multitasking. Yesterday I had bluetooth headset playing songs off the watch while recording a run with GPS and paired to my phone (left in the car) through cell data and received/responded to a text during the run AND I had the talkback feature activated to dictate any message that arrives. That's quite a bit going on and there was a little lag in responding to the text and switching apps during this time. Everything did work though. Responded to the text and recorded the 55 minute run without a problem.

That being said, I did the same with 1.5 with slightly less lag.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
Would you advise against sideloading and just waiting for the OTA? I have an unlocked W200A.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] mward1995:
I can't imagine it will be too much longer before the OTA is everywhere. At least we know the official release is already in a lot of countries. If you don't mind waiting, you can judge 2.0 based on the OTA instead of wondering if any issue is caused by a sideloaded version.

I'm just waiting to hear reviews from the OTA in the US before I decide if it's worth downgrading to 1.5 to receive it. I'm enjoying Android Pay so I'll just test what I have for now.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
Well I have everything ready to sideload, all of the LG specific watchfaces, LGHealth (if I decide to use it). I extracted the system image from AW1.5. I have AW1.5 to flash back to if needed. Just trying to be sure the sideloaded OTA could be a daily driver as it is now. Did the LG specific watchfaces get carried over to AW2.0? I'm curious.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
Hi, load it, it's worth the effor, watchfaces are there just as in aw 1,5.

[LG Watch Urbane 2] kaned84:
Mine is non lte version w200e, no lag at all (remember after sideload watch will dld some stuff and only than it can lag a bit.

Just remember before sideload in recovery to reset watch to factory and wipe cache partition and the same after sideload.

Everything should be fine :)

Wysłane z mojego HTC One M9 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
I couldn't wait. Hopefully, it won't come back to haunt me. This are the steps I did:

1. Factory Reset from watch

2. Reboot into recovery and wiped cache partition

3. rebooted, but before pairing to phone, rebooted into recovery

4. choose sideload from ADB

5. sideloaded OTA via ADB

6. Rebooted

7. Now waiting for file to finish rebooting

[Update]

It all went very smoothly. Although, it took forever "Checking for Update". The new LG Health looks a lot better. Not sure if I'll reprogram my buttons to Contacts or LG Health for top, but will likely leave the bottom to Android Pay. The only lag I'm getting is due to updates going on in the background. Seems a snappy as it was before 2.0 to me.

Will update once complete
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
"Do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do" Department: Although I wiped my watch before upgrading, too, (to be safe), because this is an OTA update you shouldn't have to erase anything.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Screw it! I will do the update again and i will wait for the update to arrive to my watch on that version and not on the 1.5 (although i dont like the notifications way of the korean version not working for me)
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kbboykin:
The notifications are 2.0, nothing to do with the Korean version. I have 2.0 on my Huawei 1 and my LG Watch Sport. So if that is your reason for not liking 2.0, them prolly shouldn't upgrade to 2.0
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
Whatever. I already noticed that is in general and not only the korean one. Well. It will be a while. Before the release a new update. I might as well adjust to all the changes they have made even though not all of them are for the best :eek:
[LG Watch Urbane 2] nigelhealy:
My UB2 I manually flashed AW2 last night, I put into developer mode, then adb reboot bootloader, then selected on watch to upgrade over ADB, then adb sideload the zip, it then hung at "continue on phone" so I skipped then did a factory reset on watch then did the phone pairing again, then it all worked.

Yes there is some lag but its only a few hours so far, so I hope in a couple of days it improves.
