TAG Heuer Connected (2015): Android Wear 2.0 update

jdm_si

This is awesome, I rang customer service back today (U.K.) and after I told them that it's been released to other people around the world.

I was informed, that's its slowly being rolled out and it should be on everyone's Connected Watch by the 3rd April.

Morning all,

I'm in the UK and overnight mine has downloaded overnight and installed this morning.

I went into setting checked for updates and the watch instructed me an update was ready to be applied, using iOS.

Now time to give iOS a full test as tempted to swap for an Andriod OS device.

Hi all

I received the update this morning and I cancelled the "what's new tutorial" as I was excited to check Android Wear 2.0 by myself but I can't find the tutorial inside the watch browser.
Can you help me on this ?
I want to be sure I'm not missing any cool feature that comes with this update
Thanks

Hubert

I am searching... in the mean time...
For gestures, go to Settings > Gestures > Launch Tutorial

I noticed my "OK Google" voice detection is disabled by default after the 2.0 update. What are you guys seeing?

R rolapinou

Yeah, I saw that too but didn't find about the new features of ANdroid Wear 2.0


Same for me.
It surprised me too !

As for me, voice recognition is not 100% responsive when using it to answer a text message for example, and also (but it's less often) to launch an app (typically the timer for cooking purpose).

With the update I do have again double notifications related to Google Calendar notification. Do you know how to disable the notification for the agenda application of the watch ? I prefer those from the phone app

Hubert

There must be some setting on the App itself, or the phone, or in the Android Wear app on the phone. Look into those. Based on your comment, it sounds like at some point in the past you had and resolved this problem, no?

R rolapinou

Exactly and ... I don't remember how I did this ...

Hubert

Yes, you're going to need to do some digging. Mine thankfully doesn't show any duplicate notifications.

R rolapinou

Just did it and didn't find on the Android Wear app nor on the watch settings.
I think with the previous version of the OS, I manage to "hide" the notification of the calendar app by sliding to the right, till I had a few options. Now I have no options with this app.

My bugs list / strange behaviour :
- it's now impossible (or I didn't find how to do that) to accept an incoming call : the only option is to refuse it (red button or sliding to the left)
- where is hidden the "cinema mode" to hide the screen when needed ? --> solved (slide down/brightness)
- the "OK Google" command doesn't work for me (and yes it's active)
- I can't disable notifications for the Calendar App within the watch OS

Hubert

- Since the watch doesn't have a built-in speaker, I suppose they decided to remove the option and only allow you to "refuse the incoming call".

Hubert

- The "Theater mode" (blackout screen) is now only visible after going to the brightness setting. I miss the double click on the crown; that was a great shortcut. The pulldown menu on the new Connected Modular is a bit different.

Hubert

- For the "OK Google" try it after having run the Google Assistant by long pressing the physical crown button. That typically works for me. Since it's so inconsistent I may just disable that option all together on both of my watches in favor of simply using the crown button to invoke it.

Other question Hubert : do you use Whatsapp with the Connected ?
Since a few days (do previous to Wear 2.0) I can't answer to a whatsapp message through the watch (with preset text, vocal or drawing smiley).
The watch "understands" the command and displays a tick symbol but the message is not actually sent.

Do you have the same issue ?
