As far as I know. It can't be done.

Totally impossible, since the Moto 360 does not have an USB interface, or an interface at all.

I too would like to revert to AW 1.5 (is 1.6 compatible?). Typical battery life was 1.5 days under previous AW. Now, under AW 2.0, I am lucky if I get nine hours before complete drain. Completely unacceptable !!!
I have "Disconnect & Reset" twice, stripping as much as I dare.
Is anyone at google listening??

Its a dead lock situation. I have tried each and every workaround still no go. My watch as only problem with notifications its doing pretty with battery. Any the smart watch is now dumbo. Google has to fix this bug in feature updates.

I too would like to go back but not because of any issues. I don't like how easy it is to switch faces. I keep trying to check the time to find it on the selection screen. Also I hate that they make you tap the check mark to send a text now. What if I'm trying to tell someone something in my car? If I have to wait until I stop to send it I might as well send it from the ****ing phone!

This is so annoying! 2.0 is absolutely horrendous and my watch is basically useless now thanks to that useless new interface.

I've tried Lenovo blue in the face, they first asked me to do a factory reset to fix the battery drain, I explained I had already done this and they never responded!
My watch was absolutley fine before I upgraded to AW2.0!

UK Honeycomb Update

I wonder if anyone in UK have received the official honeycomb update for the Flyer?
I have been waiting for it for the past 24 hours, unfortunately eventhough I am constantly checking there is no update. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Nothing for me yet.

No update for 3G version, UK

nothing,,nada,not a twitch,,think its a fob off myself,due to the large amount of very unhappy htc owners posting on fbook..
not that bothered myself,will wait till the stupidly clever in here sort a nice rom of it..
trick it?
nothing here either..is there any way to use proxies to trick the flyer into feeling its in the netherlands?
Best to root and install a hc ROM from here, can then use honeybar to lose the bottom bar as well as the usual benefits
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I manually installed it using hboot.
If someone can find vpn/proxy settings for either France or Holland and enter them into the vpn settings you can trick your flyer into thinking its in one of those places and you should be able to download the update.
Just got it here (Talk Mobile unbranded 32Gb 3G). Downloading now...

(have done 3 hard reboots so far,lots of paid for apps(updated them b4 trying) just kill it)
the music player just sits there "loading" dunno what thats about yet.
On holiday in spain so maybe I should get some wifi access form the hotel and see if anything incoming.....could there be any issues with this strategy anybody technical? thanks ....

Got my update today for flyer quick ten min impression...I think the flyer is slower after the update...just seems to take that little more time to do things...the honeycomb bar at the bottom does make it feel like you lost alot of real estate...pen i like its more useful and works better...cant see the hard touch button when lookin except the pen one which is good as it doesnt look silly having buttons showing that you cant use...on the whole i like....dont mind the soft buttons and bar...just wish certains things ie browser would open up and cover the soft buttons and bar..so you could see more browser....video play seems to turn off bar but its still there just cant see it....anyway thats my first ten mins...
Unboxed my Flyer this morning and got 3 updates, the last one being HC, extremely impressed
Smooth and responsive

Got my update this morning (talk mobile 32GB 3g flyer) and this pretty much sums up my feelings
its a big sluggish but not unusably so, and the pen is much more handy, acting like a stylus which is what everyone seems to assume its going to do when they pick it up so there should be less useless screenshots!!
Edit: This impression of sluggishness may be because i am not comparing it to my Galaxy Nexus, when I used to compare to a Desire ...
Still nothing here for my unbranded 32 gb...
I have no sim card in at the moment, only WiFi. Does it matter?
Honeycomb Flyer...i did say it was a bit slower....seems alot better now i did a factory restore and got rid of all apps that was on before the update...impressed with honeycomb....and after a few hours of play i seems to forgot about the honeycomb soft button bar and the space up it takes...
---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------
Could be..read it was only going out to 3G and Wifi Tablets first...may need the sim card in to get it..but i am sure someone else who know for sure will come along and answer....vespero
No luck with a 3 sim neither...
Not got the update yet. But have been having problems with my exchange sync. Could that be why? o)

The last few days I've been getting together the courage to go S-Off,root and flash Globatron's lovely piece of work, then this 'official' OTA update comes along and tries to trump it! How rude! Is Globatron's 'better' in any way? If so I'll jump on the hacking wagon...
Incidentally, why have some received their update and some not?
well played with it a fair bit today,initial thoughts are seems sluggish to me but may need apps cleaning out n starting again(i do have a lot of carp in there).
not sure i like the loss of the 360 spinny screens,only seem to have a few in either direction n it then stops.
have strange messages come up when on the orig mains charger,it tells me the charger is insufficient to charge the tablet and so it wont charge until i switch tablet off...used to charge fine on gb while switched on so god knows whats going on now..
cant seem to put a folder on screen in order to fill it with icons etc,havent a clue where that option is now..
good few of my borrowed apps no longer work,messages say "this is not an original app"..
also the music player doesnt seem to work,it just says "loading" forever n ever
pen is nifty now it interacts with everything tho my screen cover is now showing more scratches after just a days use.
not worried as much as i thought i mite, about losing the hard buttons,just sort of carried on without thinking about them,little bar onscreen is hardly noticeable tho it did ignore my presses a few times.

The GloblTron post is the exact same ROM as the official OTA with the addition of root and recovery so yes its better, but its the same.
The RUU listed is the exact same stock official OTA, same thing you would receive over the air

Broken Camera after ICS update

Hi, I just got my OTA update yesterday for my TF201 and today when i tried using the camera i realized it does not work... all i get is a green flashing screen for where the camera image is suppose to be.... i have attached an image of what happens.....
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix??
Everything was working fine before the ICS update... i have taken tons of pictures with the camera....
Also when i have the camera app open in ICS, i can hear the camera turning on and off physically... i just cant actually view anything
I had a camera firmware update immediately after installing ICS. If you didn't do that you might check that out.
I am fairly certain that i saw a camera update get applied as well.. since then.. this happened.........
When i go into settings and search for updates, it says nothing can be found
i have the same with mine, uuuggghhh
i actually contacted asus and there only answer was to go back to oem 3.2 and lose all my data
i have also had issues with my wifi dropping off when the unit goes to sleep
not sure how this stuff makes it to production like this
Mine is the same now but seems to clear up after toggling from the main camera to the display side camera and back.

You are not alone. We are having the same issue with the rear camera. Below is the post started by another member two days ago. It seems there is just a small percentage of tablets experiencing this issue. Either this or there is not many people testing out their camera after ICS update yet.

Did the Asus support show you how to go back to oem 3.2 ? or if you know how, can you show us ? I would rather try to flash it back to 3.2 (hopefully Asus can fix this latter) than sent mine back to amazon and wait for god know how long until they have the tablet in stock again.

I got an update from Zune, but it was OS update only. There was no firmware. Should I restore and try it again?
It'll come later, some have got the firmware and not the OS.
Thanks for letting me know.
I just got a similar reply on Nokia Support. They're being pushed seperately. The user I replied to had received the firmware, but not the OS update yet.
I'll try to be more patient.
I just did the disconnect trick, and it's downloading 8107, will report what firmware I have when it's done
---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Got 8107 + new firmware in one go
Tried the disconnect trick when the last update was being rolled out but wasn't working. :S I thought they fixed it?
Clearly not
Also, MVNO's are better supported now, my phone shows Giffgaff instead of O2-UK, not seen that in a while!
I'll give it a go.. Hopefully it works this time around.. Any tips?
Took me about 5 goes to time it right. Best tip is preserver I guess. I also turned flight mode on as I read that helps.

+1 to this. took a few attempts, worked in the end
Just managed to get it updating. It's getting new Windows verison, not sure about FW tho, will have to wait for it to finish and check.
Any noticable improvements yet? I know it's too early though
Mine only said Windows version, but firmware was included too. Auto-brightness seems better, diagnostic app contains more stuff. Charging now to see new capacity.
I just flashed back to 11451 via NCS, then forced the update through Zune.
I got both the OS update and firmware (8106.11500). I'm hoping this firmware is the answer to all our battery problems. Full charge capacity is sitting at 1483mAh. Will post back if it starts to drop (like on all the other firmwares)...
T-Mobile USA Zune Force Update Worked..
Flashed and have joy now..
Like others mentioned above, battery capacity reads 1481 rather than 1517; so was this the correction I wonder?
Will have to see how it performs over the coming days.
Autobrightness seems to work MUCH better; that alone will conserve some power.
Going to close down my system and go home now; I am curious if Bluetooth will be any better. I have a Nokia J - works better than non-Nokia, but have had to re-pair it a few times due to repeated connection dropoffs. Want to see if A2DP will work now. And of course, will try the camera to see if there is anything else good there (in spite of prior reports..)
Cheers
[1st Edit]
Ok, so far BT is holding together but we'll see.. I'll have to see if the belt holster throws it off. Still no A2DP though.. Podcasts, music, and Nokia Drive voices still play through speaker and won't route through headset.
[Edit 2]
Camera.. Nuts.. Spoke too soon. At work under fluorescents.. No pink spot. Came home .. Under halogen, spot is still there unless I use flash. So looks like nothing changed after all except the focus default setting (whoop dee dee... )
[Edit 3] Bluetooth seems very stable.. Going to try now with a non-Nokia earpiece..

How to (try to) force an update AT LEAST to 4.4W.2?

Bought yesterday an LG G Watch (on sale at € 108 shipped, on the Italian Play Store, can't really say no at that price).
I had previously had this same smartwatch for a week but returned it because Android Wear was still too "immature"... At the time it was at the 4.4W.1 release. Lots of improvements and bug fixes came with the 4.4W.2 and still lots more are coming with the "Lollipop" release just going out now and which solves more "practical" issues I had with how Android Wear worked (e.g. you can now finally turn off the tilt motion to wake it up).
The problem I am now having is that the G Watch was updated to the 4.4W.1 version as soon as I paired it to my Note 3 and after a day and no matter what I tried, I am still on 4.4W.1!
Now, I can wait a week or 2 for the 5.0.1 version but I would like to get at least to the 4.4W.2 version in the meantime, since the 4.4W.1 has the problems (the bugs and the lack of features) which made me return the G Watch the first time...
After trying to restore the G watch and pair it again with the smartphone (a tedious process since you have to re-set everything up...) I am still unable to update and I now also have problems with Google Keep on the watch (it says unable to connect) and with another app (an internet browser). Never mind for the browser, but Keep is one of the killer applications for a smartwatch, for me.
BTW, the Android Wear companion app is the 1.0.5 version (got updated yesterday few hours after downloading it and setting up the watch the first time, and before trying to reset everything up).
So, any ideas about what to try..?
TIA
I'm in the same situation.
I just received it today and it's on 4.4W.
It downloaded an update (don't know which one), but when it propose me to update I click on the checkmark and it remain on the question if I want to update and nothing is happening.
My actual Android Wear app is 1.0.4.1611133
Do I need to update to 1.0.5?
Will it try to upgrade from 4.4W directly to 5.0.1 (I don't think so...)
What can I do?
Thanks
Woody
PS: It started again to download and now let me click on the checkmark to update.
Now I'm on 4.4W1.
In Settings I click on Software update and started again to download something (it will take a lot of time looking to the graphics).
It will be 4.4W2 or 5.01 ???

After the umpteenth reset (of both the G Watch and the Android Wear app) and re-pairing, I have finally managed to trigger an update.. Don't know which one yet since it's still donwloading.
Anyway, AFAIK to be able to get the 5.0.1 update you have to have the updated Android Wear app first but don't worry, it will update shortly via the Play Store as it did for me after a few hours. The problems were always about the G Watch only.
Ok thanks. What I am experiencing is frequently disconnection between Android Wear and the smartwatch. Even one every two minutes. What could be the reason?

It could really be many things (also on the phone side)... Try resettting the whatch maybe.. Fow what it's worth, I was not experiencing it and bear also in mind that Wear updates have always improved upon the BT connection so updating may very well fix your issues.
ANYWAY, DOWNLOAD IS FINISHED AND IT'S 5.0.1, so problem solved for me!
I'm glad for you, so the update was from 4.4w1 to 5.0.1?
With Android wear already at 1.0.5 or previous version?

Like I said, the Android Wear app got the 1.0.5 update a few hours after installing it on my Note 3 and AFAIK you must have the 1.0.5 version to get the 5.0.1 update on the watch (you should still be able to receive the 4.4W.2 update though).
Haven't you finished downloading and installing the update you were getting? It should be the 4.4W.2 update.
It's really really slow, it's going on from at least 45mins now. So if I "force" 1.0.5 downloading it and stopping the actual download on the smartwatch (that probably is 4.4w2) I should get directly 5.0.1...

Unless the download has stopped, I really wouldn't do that if I were you...
You are already experiencing problems with the watch (BT connection, download speed etc), problems which may make the next update troublesome and which would likely be fixed by the update you are already downloading..
Based on the time passed, it will take around four hours to download. Is it possible? I'm on an 8MB ADSL. Is it the BT so slow?
Done. I stopped the download, make a fabric reset, upgraded the Android wear to 1.0.5, restarted the download and after 3hrs it was updated to 5.0.1. Wonderful...
I have 1.0.5 of Android Wear, but I'm stuck on 4.4W.1 on the Sony Smartwatch 3 that I bought from Verizon this morning. Being new to Android Wear, it took me hours today to figure out why I couldn't do any of the cool things that the watch reviewers could do. I wasted so much time trying to get Google Play Music to work. Only to realize later that it's because I don't have that functionality yet. That functionality is why I bought the watch! It's what Sony and Google is selling!
If it doesn't come in a day or two, I'll have to return it. I don't trust Verizon to ever rollout an update. I know it should be a stock watch and have nothing to do with Verizon.... But I don't trust them to not have snuck in somehow and altered the watch so that they can control the updates.

Has nothing to do with Verizon... Android wear is purely controlled by Google/android...It is NOT a phone or tablet therefore a carrier cannot affect updates just be patient it's coming bro
Yes, I incorrectly disparaged Verizon, so I have to circle back and make the correction. It's a stock device and they have not customized the software like I had assumed. They tried to be helpful before passing me off to Sony this morning. On Sony's end, I had to download a Windows (also available for Mac) app called Sony PC Companion, and it forced an updated for my watch. So I'm up to 4.4W.2 and I have the features I want.

Compass Does Not Work

Hi Everyone,
I have a Huawei P20 Lite and updated it this Monday to the version appears as ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461). Today I noticed that apps using the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data (such as Compass, Google Maps or a 360 degree video on YouTube) don't react when I move and rotate the device. HiCare smart diagnostics show no errors after "gravity sensor" test.
I would be very glad if anyone can help. Thanks!
Hallo there
That is quite weird, you did it via OTA right? I saw the official changelog of that update and it's only a security monthly patch, I see it causing no issues, altough if you have your bootloader locked you can send it to warranty and they can check it, even if you did that test via HiCare.
Cheers,
AS

That is quite weird, you did it via OTA right? I saw the official changelog of that update and it's only a security monthly patch, I see it causing no issues, altough if you have your bootloader locked you can send it to warranty and they can check it, even if you did that test via HiCare.
Cheers,

Hi, thanks for the answer.
I don't know what OTA is, what I did was going to settings, check for updates and do it.
Today I compared mine with 2 exactly same phones, which were indicating they were also up-to-date; yet their versions were ANE-LX1 8.0.0.046 and ANE-LX1 8.0.0.162; which are different than mine (ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146). I can do nothing but thinking that it's a software/firmware problem because the phone is newer than a week and isn't even dropped yet, whilst the sensor was working.
Thank you very much again!

Weird indeed since it's a new phone....And it was working on your first days and stopped after that update?

Yes, weird. I did not test the sensor intentionally, only saw the pedometer count on lock screen. After I updated the phone in a short while that day, the gyro data was gone. Compass was stuck in North 0 degree and 9 degree inclination, even after factory reset. I have changed the phone to solve the problem, I believe it is due to a failure within the inertial measurement unit integrated circuit or its soldering.
But thank you very much anyway!
It's better to send it to warranty yup, might be a defect which is rare but may happen.
Cheers and hope for the best
