New Update

[anon(463177)]

Got my dot update Saturday on my wifi Classic. FYI.

Got it on my Sport wifi, too. Got the orange dot, the double tap to zoom (a little) on notifications, hour markers on some (Utility) ambient watch faces, ability to set from 15 seconds to 5 minutes full watchface timeout, weather auto updating, step counter seems to be counting WAY MORE accurately, etc. I'm pleased.

So only non-3g?

The way it seems to be happening is that 3G versions are getting their updates from the carriers that sold them. Apparently, non-3G versions get updated only by Samsung.

Yup. Samsung is moving in the right direction. Even the little things like moving the send button on text messages from the top to the left and allowing S Voice to pause in the middle of dictating a text. I'm encouraged by this update.

My weather still isn't updating every hour.

Agreed. They addressed a couple of the things that had me on the verge of giving up on the watch. I know it probably doesn't concern the majority of users, but I still think the vibration needs to be stronger.

There's an app in Android Wear called "Feel the Wear." It allows you to assign various vibration patterns to different notifications, ie. one buzz for calls, two for texts, etc. While I doubt that software can increase the vibration strength, I think having multiple pulses would help.

I emailed the developer, and he said he might develop the app for Tizen at some point in the future, but probably not soon. But it sounds like there at least might be hope.

Oh, and yes, my weather updating is still wonky. Comes and goes.

I've noticed a significant improvement in battery life on my WIFI Sport Gear S2. Great work Samsung!

Same here. And it seems weather is mostly updating when it's supposed to. That's 2 out of 3 of my major complaints handled so SCORE!

Does anyone know how to read the update numbers? I have: R732XXU2AOJ3 - how do I know if that's the newest?

 

[nickdeck]

Pretty sure that is the one I had before the update. Last four characters on my new update are BPA4.

 

[B0omSLanG]

Mine just updated today and is R732XXU2BPA4. S2 Classic non-3G here.

 

[A0425A]

I got the update too. No change log though. S2 Classic Non-3G

 

[Bob31464]

Got it today too. Classic non 3G version as well. Sure would like to know what it did.

 

[anon(463177)]

Just now?! Jezzz... I've had it for awhile. Are you in the States?

On my S1 to fix the alarm not working after the last update I deleted all alarms I had set, set them back up again and it has worked fine since then. I'd suggest try that before doing something stronger such as a factory reset.
