I had found this way on YouTube, a couple of months ago. A guy tried to force update AW 2.0 on his Moto 360 v2.
So I also tried to do this force when I saw a guy (from US) posting pics of his Moto 360 Sport updated to AW 2.0
Since I am not in US right now, I was not getting updates normally.
So what I did is:
1. Goto settings > About > System Updates
2. Tap and tap repeatedly on the "System is up to date" screen
3. Finally get a message to continue with update
4. Keep your device on charge when prompted
This hack might get failed in the middle, many-a-times
Don't give up. Just continue the loop if the update fails.
Good Luck

Not to sound rude, but this is on several different threads already. Also, you forgot to mention that enabling the Dev options and enabling always on screen while charging is a great idea while updating

This is really bugging,
One day my Wear decided stop getting updated notifications. It simply stopped updating my Wear and when tried to delete or do actions I got an error of course.
I've tried factory resetting my LG G Watch - no luck.
Uninstalling Android Wear app - no luck.
Wiping cache and data for Android Wear app and Google Play Services - no luck.
I did of course made sure notification listener service allowed for wear app and that all permissions are allowed as required.
(also all those troubleshooting done, no luck: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6090188?hl=en)
My Wear does get broadcasts as I can change watch faces or sync apps and their data.. but just no notifications.
I'm using latest Android N beta on N5X and LG G Watch with latest production 6.0.1.
Help!!!

You may just have to wait for another Android N build or go back to Marshmallow or Lollipop because it's probably a bug in the build as some other people were having the same problems.

Sorry I took so long to respond, my phone instantly died and took forever to charge back up, and my computer was down at the shop getting fixed so I had no way to access XDA. Anyway, here's one instance of someone having the same issue(s) your having:
https://m.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/4k3e4w/android_n_preview_3_notification_issues/
Once again, sorry for such a late response!
For future reference,
The issue was tracked here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=210488
For me it has been resolved by N Preview 4
I don't know what I did, but it seems like Remix OS changed its setting to show some kind of other launcher that is not the default desktop view. I attached screenshots and I have not downloaded any launchers. It shows me Launcher3 as the only option to set as my home launcher when I go to Settings and search the settings entries using the magnifying glass icon. You can see the attached screenshots for a bit more information. I don't really want to install it if there is an easy fix that someone knows of, but if it comes down to that as a last resort option, then I will.
Thanks!
revert to original desktop
Did you ever get this figured out. I have the same issue and cant seem to find a solution.
Thanks,
Brad
Just uninstall updates to the Remix WiFi app, and disable updates through the Play Store.
And please search the subforum before you post a thread that is a duplicate of others' threads (I have already seen about 3 threads about the exact same problem).

I've had the same issue and it appeared directly after the Remix WiFi update.
The update procedure seems to be a little bit broken. In "Apps" I saw two WiFi-Apps afterwards, the recent version and the new update. (???)
But you cannot uninstall the update in a normal way, you can only force quit.
So I installed "Root App Deleter", to uninstall the new update. But wait, "Root App Deleter" only showed the older version of the WiFi App -> I deactivated it first instead of uninstalling, didn't want to broke the whole system. After a reboot it was still the same mess. So I activated the old WiFi App again with "Root App Deleter", suddenly I saw it marked as "updated". Then I removed the patch, after another reboot everything was fine again. Ok, all Desktop Icons where gone.
Very very strange, this relation between WiFi-App and Desktopmode...
I really like Remix OS, it runs on my Beebox very nice and fluent and in comparison to Linux almost "out of the box", but the stable branch seems to be not that stable it should be.
And there is a lot of improvement needed for some more things..

You're right, this is really odd.
This doesn't sound like the other threads, since there they were able to simply remove the update without any hitches.
Just wait for the next Remix OS for PC release. Hoping they fix that issue. I bet it gonna happen on the Remix mini, player and 10. If they don't fix this issue.

Go to settings and select reset box (do not select my remix), select erase everything , this will bring back default desktop launcher and box to factory setting leaving all your apps untouched, it will erase only accounts credentials, just log in with your account to any app if needed after resetting box.
Same here has remix 32 bit booted left for a while and when I came back it was frozen so I rebooted and then it was Android style desktop instead of pc...
How can I get it back?
Also anyone know how to get player working? Can't get to to even open. only 32 bit boots on my pc.. (I have a 64 bit Windows installation)
Sent from my Moto G4 Play using XDA Labs
It's fixed
I fixed it!
There will be 2 wifi apps in Settings > Apps
Go into one of them, there will be 3 dots vertically in either one of them on top right.
Uninstall the Update of the one with 3 dots, reboot your machine !
Thank you! After the update the Remix WIFI disappeared, so I was confused, but this solution worked.

So I enrolled in the Samsung Nougat Beta Test for my S7 Edge thinking that is should be just fine. After all the last thing they really need is bad PR from this after everything else.
Phone updated with out issues. Applications updated. Settings held without issue.
When it came to sync the watch again to the phone, not happening.
Gear Manager application is now Samsung Gear Manager for N. It looks like it is built into the OS now, as there is no longer a delete option of the application.
When I go to sync the phone with the application, I open the application, press the button to select the gear. I select the Gear S (D5BD) button.
It then advances to the next screen where it says preparing to connect.... and a pop up displays Notice. Installation failed ! Error Code: 5
I called Samsung Support and they had me clear data and force stop the application along with reset the Gear S and there is still no change.
Tried contacting the Samsung Nougat department, and of course they are closed for the day.
Has anyone here experienced this issue, and if so how did you resolve.
If you can offer me any solutions so I can use the watch once again, I would greatly appreciate it. Starting to go through with drawl. If I had know it wasn't going to be working, I certainly would not have updated.
Thanks for taking a look at the post and giving it a thought or two. Greatly appreciated.

I am going through a similar issue, and after spending eternity with high level techs on the phone and in person at a Samsung store, I found that the answer lies in the Gear S. The last firmware update for the watch was early this year, and the watch itself cannot communicate with Nougat. Even though Gear Manager will communicate with Nougat. Right now we are at the mercy of Samsung to update the Firmware for a 3 year old device, that has been replaced by 2 generations...
Fix received
received a fix from Samsung that worked and wanted to share.
1. Go to settings
2. Select Application Manager
3. Select Update Gear Software and uninstall it.
when this is complete, go back to the Gear Manager app and try to re-connect. It will take a bit longer than normal, but will finally connect and sync.
Back in business baby!!

The Nord N100 was found to have a history with the T-Mobile and Metro versions of software to force updates even if "Automatic system updates" is togged off in Developer Options.
Does the XT2093 ever do that? Anyone ever heard of it doing that?
I haven't had any problems with forced system updates per se. While devops option to disable automatic updates COUPLED with the moto system update app set to disallow automatic installation, I find when there is an update it tells me so and I can then perform a manual download and installation. So it works.
Thank you very much for this tip. I need to go in and find that moto system update app and disallow it.
I am having a hard time finding this moto system update app. I see the "Moto" app on my phone but don't see anything in there about system update.
I think I figured it out. You mean this screen, right?

Yep that's the screen. I should had mentioned it's a menu option within the Android Settings menu screen and not a launchable app.
Keep in mind as is noted as a footnote in the Smart Update screen, security updates will download and install automatically even if the option is turned off. You might end up seeing a notification saying there's an update ready to be installed and suggesting you reboot the device. Outside of disabling the moto software update app altogether I've found no explicit method of blocking these security updates from auto installing.
I updated my Pixel 6 to Android 13. I was aware that you can use the phone while it's updating in the background. So, in the process, I customized some settings. However, when I tried to go back by showing all running background apps (swiping up), the System Update Settings app was gone and a "Google Confidential" app was running in the background. Tried tapping it but nothing showed up. So, I went through the settings > system update again, and found out that it was still "updating and installing". When I tried to tap the "Google confidential app" while the System update tab was now present in my recent apps navigation (swipe up), it just redirected me to the System update tab "installing updates".
Any chances that the update can get corrupted? Are there ways to verify integrity of files/updates?
UPDATE: Installed Android 13 and June update successfully. Phone asked me to restart per update. It would say if something's wrong with update, wouldn't it? Also, is the Google Confidential background app normal (it looked like a gear icon with a G and a red "confidential" word on top of it)? It showed up only during the system updates. I can't seem to find any reference/mention of it online.
Thank you in advance.

I can't say for sure, but that doesn't sound right. Perhaps it really is a Google app, but usually they cover up their spyware by packaging it into innocent looking apps with cute colors. I can't find anything online either.

I'll try to screenshot it when a system update comes up. Actually, when I tapped it while the System update tab was present in my recent apps navigation (swipe up), it just redirected me to the System update tab "installing updates".
Edit: I actually found it again after I restored my contacts. See photos below

I don't think that's authentic. Just by looking at the font used on "Confidential". But than again, it could be what Google really looks like. Not quite as innocent looking as these :
It's unlikely that the update itself got corrupted, as your Pixel 6 successfully installed Android 13 and the June update. If there were any issues with the update, your phone would typically notify you or display an error message.
As for the "Google Confidential" app appearing during the system update process, it's not a standard feature or app that I'm familiar with. It's possible that it was a temporary placeholder or a bug in the user interface during the update process. Since you can't find any references or mentions of it online, it may have been a unique occurrence on your device.
To verify the integrity of files and updates on your Pixel 6, you can perform a few checks:
Reboot your device: After the update is complete, restart your phone to ensure all the new system files are properly loaded.
Check for system update status: Go to Settings > System > System update and confirm that there are no pending updates or error messages. If everything looks normal, it indicates that the update was successful.
Test system functionality: After the update, use your device as you normally would and pay attention to any unusual behavior. If you encounter any significant issues or errors, it's recommended to contact Google support or visit an authorized service center for assistance.
Overall, since your update was successful and you haven't experienced any noticeable problems apart from the "Google Confidential" app during the update process, it's unlikely that there is a major issue. However, if you continue to encounter unusual behavior or have concerns, it's best to reach out to Google support or the appropriate channels for further assistance specific to your Pixel device.
Hmm the google confidential thing looks a bit off.
I would try to find the full package name and install path to atleast get an idea of what it is or if it's legit?
