Late Oct 2014 Moto 360 update

Just hit Android Central: Moto 360 update lightens your mood, brings better battery life, displays accurate time | Android Central

The new 360 update rolling out now, so I guess we should all get it in a week or so. Looks like some good improvements included.

I just hope the temp acknowledge gesture will let me swipe away that darn music player card!!!

Looks like you can add devices and switch between them on the fly in the Bluetooth settings as well. Unless that's just for Bluetooth headphones.

It's supposed to be for audio profiles. I'm guessing to be able to take calls? Don't know, but in the end, the watch will not be doing the streaming anyway, so it's more of a 'future application' thing. I wish they'd let you add multiple devices to the watch, though. I'd love to be out and about with my phone but also get my tablet's notifications when I'm around it as well.

I just got the update about an hour ago, so it really is rolling out. Takes a few minutes to install and two reboots/restarts with the last one being a bit slow (another few minutes) followed by "Optimizing apps" just like a phone does. My watch was fully charged and it took 7% of the battery to perform the update. Strangely, I had trouble getting it connected to the phone after, I had to try a few times.

I see the new "Play music" and "Bluetooth Devices" options. When I go into the latter, it sees my phone as "Disconnected" even though it is connected, and lists a few other available devices.

Got update yesterday afternoon, so I threw it on the charger. After the update completed, I put it back on charger to top it up. It was around 6:00pm when I took it off charger. This morning at 6:00am, I wake up to find the watch dead. This is concerning as I was getting almost 2 full days of use before the update. Hoping it was just some kind of hang up from the update. We shall see shortly.

After seeing your results I don't think I want this update now. I'm easily getting 24 hrs on a single charge.

Does the watch notify you when the update is ready or do you have to keep checking?

The lag. It is gone.

Great video, and nice music.

I thought the issue was with the antiquated hardware of the 360 not ramping up CPU frequency fast enough, but it was a software bug that Google ironed out.

Android is taking performance really seriously.

7 1/2 hours in and battery is at 76%. I think the restart fixed whatever got hung up. Will keep an eye on it through tomorrow.

Wow, Phil, you are right! I didn't even notice that until you just pointed it out and I played with it.

Unfortunately, it is not helping with the extreme draining of my phone battery when on WiFi at work: http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-360/444869-google-wear-zapping-phone-battery.html But I will take any improvements I can get.

I have noticed zero change in the 360's battery life since the update. And I have been almost a full day now on the update (since I got it yesterday).

Go to settings.
Click About.
Click System Update.
When it tells you your system is up to date, tap the check mark 5-6 times and it will start your download.

Make sure you battery is at 80% and enjoy your upgrade.

I got a notification. Had to charge it before it would install (only had 44%, and the update requires 50% to install), but once I took it off the charger I got the prompt to install.

Just updated my watch and now get "ok google" on my screen every time the watch comes on. Anyone seeing the same? Any solutions to get rid of it?
