The G Watch R was said not to have WiFi, but the teardown included the WiFi chipset. Our G Watch, does not have that chipset, or any WiFi chipset, we only have the BCM Bluetooth Chipset. So this will not do anything for us.

I thougt we got the chipset (because its inside the snapdragon 400?), but are missing the antennas. Why can't we use the bluetooth antennas for bluetooth and wifi?
No, simply because the processor supports something, does not mean it is inbuilt. The processor supports a wifi chip set out of the box, however it is not a wifi chip set itself.
Oh okay, thank you. So we're out of luck.

Ya, sadly we're definitely out of luck here. That said, there aren't many apps that take advantage of WiFi over the normal Bluetooth connection yet and there's not much else of a compelling reason to use it. For Cloud Sync, your phone still needs to be on and joined to a wireless network for it to even work as it takes your notifications from your phone, pushes them to Google's server, and then to your watch.

Why is it that once I connect to miracast it will disconnect from wifi? Is it hardware limitation or software bug? My Samsung note 2 can connect on both miracast and still maintain wifi connection.

I believe that Sonys implementation of Miracast is wrong.
From what I read, Miracast it self allows for up to 10 connections and as you say your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 can handle both network connection and Miracast.
There's two threads at Sony's Xperia Forum that discuss this problem.
At first the Xperia Team said it was by design, but when several users explained that Samsung phones can have a Wifi connection active at the same time and that all Nexus phones running 4.2.2 could also handle this,
then the Xperia Team said that they would escalate the issue, but after that there has been no more feedback...

This is actually a really bad thing. I also purchased the push2tv system so could stream Netflix and YouTube from my tablet. No luck with that. My HTC one does it without problems.
I am starting to think that what if the random wifi disconnections are related and is because Sony uses only one antenna while there should be two.

actually the tablet z uses MIMO and has 2 antennas. in my opinion it´s clearly a software restriction.
I had the same issue since i bought the dock and push2tv for the same reason. Unfortunately nothing so far. It is definitely a software problem as Sony seems to have fixed it with the Xperia Z Ultra. It works fine while still connected to wifi.
The Xperia Z disconnects also by the way.

Is it a restriction on the S4, over Snapdragon 800? That could be why the Ultra (and then Honami) works.

No. I have to assume it's a hardware restriction then, or Sony can't or won't fix it.
I am now using MHL, which seems like a far easier solution - although even that cuts the performance of the phone considerably. Epic Citadel can benchmark at around 59fps on the phone display, but output via HDMI and it drops things to 30-40fps.

That's weird if it works on the T. I think this needs to be clarified. If it does, Sony really should be able to make it work, or else asked why they went backwards with the Z/TZ by changing the Wi-Fi specs/antennas.
I am going to go and check my Nexus 4 and see if that retains the connection. Previously I couldn't connect it to my TV but a new LG update on the TV has hopefully fixed things.
So did Sony really f*ck this up here. Unbelievable..I must say that I am so disappointed now. I was hoping to stream Netflix from the tablet.
Maybe I then have to get chromecast when available in Europe. I assume that it doesn't use miracast to do the streaming but likely it will stream on its own.

Right, just tried my Nexus 4 and it does keep the Wi-Fi connection. However, there's a lot more lag and the TV image doesn't quite keep up. What's more, the picture breaks up when it doesn't on the Xperia Z.
However, having an Internet connection does of course mean you can now stream TV and movies with Netflix or Google Play. Play crashed when playing a film though, and I have to say I didn't realise it could output a different screen. Netflix doesn't support this, and I'm not sure what else might (perhaps YouTube and other Google apps?).
Anyway, here are some photos I took;

Forget it, guys.
This concept of streaming stuff from the tablet is going to fade anyway.
For Youtube, Netflix etc. simply shell out $35 and get a Chromecast.
Or buy a Raspberry Pi and make your own Chromecast-y device.
Or buy a Satellite receiver like the Vu+ Solo2 and use Airplayer plugin.
All these solutions have in common that the streaming happens on the other device, not the tablet, and therefore is simply more stable and reliable (especially when a wired network connection is used). The tablet is only a controller, a"chooser" for media. (That's also more battery-friendly, by the way.)
Yes I know it should keep the wifi connection. I am mirrorring with my HTC One and wifi doesn't disconnect.
Only problem with HTC One is that after using for an hour or so the phone will get so hot that I get some warning message about it.
So that much for watching a movie like that.

Yes thats basically the better way to do it. I also do have WDTV Live and I can basically use Youtube so that I control with tablet and play on the big screen. Unfortunately the software on WDTV Live is buggy as hell and it crashes every now and then.
Also for some reason Netflix doesn't have this similar possibility.

I agree that the Chromecast way of doing things is the way forward for streaming services. However, I'd have liked to be able to play games without lag/dropped frames on the big-screen - and it seems that with or without the Wi-Fi connection staying open, the quality isn't quite there.
Maybe Snapdragon 800 improves this - and that could be something to sway me towards Honami - but perhaps Miracast will remain useful for showing off photo and videos stored locally (your own content) as a far better option than DLNA that rarely, if ever, works with modern video formats and resolutions.
Things like Miracast etc. are mostly used at home, where you have your TV or projector.
But at home it's not necessary to store the videos on a tablet and then stream them to the TV.
At home one has some kind of NAS from which the files are fetched.
I admit that for a long time I also thought about using the tablet as media hub / storage.
But if one thinks a bit about it and researches, it becomes obvious that much better and tried-and-tested options exist.
And for all other cases (like projecting different apps or playing a game on the big screen) the Tablet Z has a MHL/HDMI output, that's what it's for.

Even MHL slows the phone down, which must be a hardware limitation of the phone.
SlimPort is even worse. I don't know what sort of handshaking is carried out with that, but on my Nexus 4 when I was at CES I was on the stand of a company making them and we hooked my phone up to have the phone crash (even restarting on occasion) within seconds of connecting it.
I'd be interested to see if Snapdragon 800 has less problems with TV output, via Miracast or a cable - but the idea of using the smartphone as a remote to control streaming directly to a device (like a TV with a wired Internet connection) certainly makes sense. Google has once again come up with something great here, and it's probably totally the opposite of the direction Apple intends to take TV in the future.
Miracast
Hi guys, has anyone else had problems connecting their XTZ using miracast? I have the push2tv and my HTC One connects perfectly, but my Xperia tablet gives the error "Could not turn on screen mirroring. The output device does not support HDCP". It seems very strange as the tablet is listed the supported devices on Netgear's site.
I have the 312 version, and have the latest firmware on the push2tv.
this problem definitely not solved within 4.2 update. Dissapointing.

Sooo, installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 (based on Android 4.3 which supports WiDi/Miracast natively) and see there:
WIDI/Miracast and the connection to my home WiFi Network work simultaneously.....!!!
So Sony, two lessons for you here:
1. Get of your collective ***** and get Android 4.3 going without nerfing perfectly fine core features
2. If you're going the forum/community way, provide correct information (aka really ask your developers) and don't spew half informed nonsense/play the information hiding game...
To everyone else here: give them ****, or they will never learn!
PS: Who wants to try, google Cyanogenmod ("Pollux" -for LTE variant- or "Pollux_Windy" -for WiFi only variant-). Warning!: Possible Warranty void when flashing custom ROMS

It does support 801.11ac and it's naively enabled. Even the S4 supports 802.11ac. It's low-speed 802.11ac tho. Doesn't exceed 390mbps.
The problem is visually, It throttles the connection based on workload.
You can disable this by going into Adv wireless and disabling it.

I've read that the snapdragon 400 chip natively support GPS.

No, while the processor chip may have support for GPS, the watch does not have the required sensors needed to get a GPS lock and to feed data to the processor.
If the sensor was actually in the device? Certainly there would be a way to enable it with a custom ROM, but that still dictates that the sensor would need to be built into it.

It means it natively has support for a GPS, it doesn't mean it has one embedded within the Snapdragon 400 SoC.
How about a portable gps reciever it's small and you can take with you. I have a nexus 6 and a LG G not GPS when I go for a run I have to take my phone to track my run could there be a way to bluetooth a GPS reciever to work with G watch. Like the way some people use there tablets and GPS same Idea?
What about Wi-Fi?
Many sites I follow are currently suggesting that the smartwatches powered by the Snapdragon 400 might have built in Wi-Fi antennas. The LG G Watch has a Snapdragon 400 APQ8026 but this SoC doesn't seem to have it. Can anyone confirm this?

When I looked at the teardown, the radio chipset is solely BT 4.0 :\ no wifi hardware in sight. However while the SoC supports it, without the hardware, that support is useless. Sorry to say
I read the watches have wifi but no antennas. Is it that they actually have the needed hardware but lack the circuitry for an antenna? Maybe a hardmod? Or no?

No. What you are reading is that they have the hardware to SUPPORT a wifi module (Some do actually only lack the antenna, however those will also lack drivers since the OEMs are not likely to make them). Not that there is one built into the SoC. As with the GPS above, even though your SoC supports something, doesn't mean it already has the hardware needed built into it.
@LittleLX: I actually attempted this and attempted to sideload a Bluetooth GPS receiver app to the watch, unfortunately because almost all of them use the Android ActionBar, it refused to start up. Android Wear is restricting applications to the swipe to dismiss action and forbidding the actionbar on versions of Android with Swipe to Dismiss on. That said, there is definitely room for this type of application to be developed for Android Wear, I had sideloaded CF.Lumen and ES File Manager, and while CF.Lumen doesn't open because of it's ActionBar, I had put together a tasker app factory app to attempt to play around and trigger (I had manually installed the CF.Lumen driver) it, it did show that it would work if I had been able to set up location services inside the app (choose the location for the automatic dimming..)
So Android Wear has potential to be a very powerful and extensible platform, developers just aren't interested in it yet it seems. We as a people seem to be stuck looking at a smartwatch as a watch rather than a wrist computer.
Is it possible to port Android Wear 2.0 from emulator image to a G Watch? A developer ported the ZenWatch 2 system to the Gear 2 Neo so it might be possible to port from LG Watch Urbane 2 LTE, remove all features that are not compatible (SIM, WiFi, etc...) and make a ROM for G Watch.

This is definitely doable, just not sure how things work exactly with the watches as far as partitions go. Maybe some of the previous ROM devs on here can help out with that bit, I am new to supporting wear devices. If we can get the blobs ironed out it should be pretty easy, we should have part of a device tree from TWRP.
@DespairFactor Hi, nice to see you around here!
Do you have the G Watch? I can provide anything you need. I have 6.0.1 Wear, root (read only /system) and TWRP 3.0.2-0. Let's just wait for a square watch to receive N preview, or maybe port from emulator image? Most people believe the G Watch will not get updated due to not having a crown button, a crown button is crucial for Android Wear since it now acts as a back function, instead of the traditional swipe to left. Also the G Watch has now 3 major OS versions (KK, LP, MM) so it's not a surprise Google abandon it now, following Nexus update cycle. The watch is incredibly useful even after the years. @invisiblek made a very good kernel for G Watch, maybe he can help. As far as the partitions go, I will reply later with a command output.
Also I can make a little app to perform a back command using swipe to left gesture like most Android Wear unofficial launchers do

About porting from an emulator image, are there cases of stable ports from Android emulator? I have a square android wear 280x280 cloned G Watch emulator instance running Android Wear N, I can also upload it.
Google released N Wear Developer Preview for the Huawei Watch and LG G Watch Urbane 2gen LTE, both round watches. For the G watch, a square watch is needed. Google will probably release a developer image for Asus ZenWatch 2 or Sony Smartwatch 3 (or even Samsung Gear Live??) down the road. The Asus ZenWatch 1 also does not have a crown, making it less likely to receive Android Wear 2.0 N.
G Watch and ZenWatch 2 have pretty similar specs (same SoC, same graphics module, same RAM, same internal storage space):

They generally will not expand the preview to other devices, they don't ever do it. Also, the OS likely has the images and stuff for the square devices in case others want to port it. I can see Sony doing it themselves and releasing it, but not ASUS. Regardless, I would need to pull apart the G watch system dump for vendor files and to rip apart the developer preview images to see what we can do with it. Chances are it'll take quite a bit of work, so I would be open to having others jump in to help out. Perhaps this should turn into a github org/hangouts chat.

AFAIK, the Moto 360 2015 does NOT have speakers...

How exactly did you find out that there is a speaker, since there isn't any?

that is what the spec say, i haven't found any tear down (and i'm not willing to sacrifice my own) but i'm still curious what the slot below the microphone does?
Android Wear is completely independent from the Moto 360 2nd gen. It's just the app that allows ANY Android Wear device (Moto 360, LG Urbane, Huawei Watch, etc) to share information between the phone and device. That spec in the update was only referring to some sort of fix or tweak for those Android Wear devices who DO have speakers.
The Moto 360 2nd gen (and 1st gen) does not have built-in speakers, so this change in the update does not apply to our watches. Simply put, without a speaker, no update in the world could magically make your watch produce sound. Lol

Since the band now connect to lugs instead of the phone body, that slot beneath the microphone is there to assist in opening the device. It is not a speaker outlet.
Besides, it would really be awkward to talk to a watch in public XD
I don't even use my phone on handsfree when in public.
I saw my brother do it a few times with his Apple Watch (phone conversation that is). It wasn't exactly clear and easy, but it wasn't terrible either.
If my watch had a speaker I'd probably use it in a pinch if I couldn't get my phone out right away or I was a maybe in a different room in my house. But then I'd probably only do it long enough to answer the call and tell the caller to hold on while I went to the other room to get my phone.
At work I usually have my BT headset on so I wouldn't use it then... well, except for days like today when I forgot to grab it, dangnabbit!
