Firmware Update Today

[sag7392]

Hi all!

This morning I was delighted to see a firmware update sitting in my notification shade! I did a little digging on the interwebs and couldn't find anything about this update. Anyhow, I pulled the trigger and all is well on my end. I didn't check to see if the software version changed, but here is what is currently on my S2 -- R720XXU2AOJ3

Anyone else? I hope to find some sort of a change log as well.

Got it. Just says performance and stability upgrades. I don't notice anything.

I have not seen anything yet. My classic is on R732XXU2AOIL

You can force the update if you want. Go into SETTINGS on your Gear app in your phone. Check for updates there.

I tried and it tells me it is on the current version, maybe they are rolling the update out in stages.

Quite possible. I'm sure you'll get it soon.

I got the update and it has fixed the reconnecting issue on my Marshmallow Nexus 5. Also noticed that the weather is actually automatically updating. I have it set to update every hour, and for the first time, it updated by itself without my having to manually refresh.

Hmm nothing on my end here.

Retracting my finding that my S2 is automatically updating the weather every hour as per my settings. It definitely updated hourly two times early today, but has not done so in the past 4 hours.

Is the Marshmallow issue fixed though? Does it work with it now?

The step counter seems to be fixed. I'm at 7k steps now and before that I would barely be at 5k with the same activity.

Yes, the Marshmallow issue is fixed with this update. It automatically reconnects when the phone and watch are out of range and then come back into range.

 

[FitzAusTex]

Marshmallow issue definitely fixed for me, too. I would say that the step counter is probably NOT fixed, but I didn't have it on me the whole day. Did walk the dog and it counted 1500, and Gear Live counted 2000. Will reserve judgement, though.

I was just able to force the update via the app on my phone. Hopefully it fixes some of my issues.

 

[dzstoys]

I have not gotten s single notification since the update. I restarted my watch and phone and still nothing.

I also forced the update using the Gear app on my phone. Took a little longer than I expected but all is fine. On my Samsung Galaxy S3 I went to Settings, About Gear and then Update Gear Software.

I did a factory reset on the watch at lunch, now I am getting some notifications from all the apps I have allowed to send them. The strange thing though is that only one of my email accounts is passing notifications to the watch. I am getting notifications from both on the phone though.

If it matters, I am using the S2 Classic and a Note Edge (on 5.1.1 with AT&T).
