After the OS upgrade to 7.1.1 this feels closer to a $300 device now.
yup so annoying how it takes so god damn long to do system update and it redownloads if it fails to install! pita...mine was successful after2nd attempt...just wished the speakers on watch were louder, its so tinny...its nice to play mp3s from playmusic, it doesn't have a shuffle mode tho¿?

Perfect. Thanks aasoror. I rebooted and I am getting the verizon carrier has been disabled.

Another quick question. I have another watch that I want to keep using Wear OS 1.5. - is there a way to disable the automatic OTA updates so it doesnt go to OS 2.XX. I also need the ADB commands to remove the bloated software for myverizon and messages+

The Listens for Alexa app allows you to speak to the watch like you're speaking to an Amazon Echo. It installs directly on the watch.

I think you still need to "install" the update, so as long as you don't click that it wont install on its own.

You don't need to do it over adb, just go to Settings -> Apps and you can disable them right from the watch.

Might be a phone issue, watch connected over BT data and is indifferent to other devices connected to the phone.

So i felt like an idiot today. Was at the movies and forgot I have my watch set to always on. Couldn't find where in the menu quickly to turn that off and didn't want to pull my phone out to do it. Oh well, will have to remember for next time.

Still looking for a good watch front. I don't mind one of the default ones but I'd rather see more useful information on the watch than my workout hours for the day.

Also, I don't think my watch is notifying me when my phone rings. Works great with text messages but not for phone calls.

?? The watch has built in google assistant, so you can just talk to it like your Google Home/Mini (or hold the button). Then it'll do everything you have setup on your account. I can turn on my TV, lights, heating, all from the watch.

TO be honest thats the most useful thing about this watch. Finding there isn't really that many things you can do on this phone aside from that and using a clunky messages app.

I was hoping to use Google Assistant but the wifi is disconnected whenever I open it. Eventually the wifi reconnects but by that point I'm so frustrated that I've just opened the app on my phone instead...

Is this wifi issue a defect in both of my two watches, or am I using the wrong settings in terms of power saving?

Do you have BT on ? auto disconnecting wifi for battery saving is expected, but as long as BT is on and the phone is reachable watch wont switch wifi on (unless processing a data intensive task) but GA should still work over BT.
