Android wear update

[Sajo]

I saw a notification for an Android Wear App update this morning, app version 2.0.0.155409452. The "What's New" listed Assistant support for your watch as a new feature. Updated the app & clicked the resync all apps option. My watch froze and then eventually rebooted on it's own. Now I lost all OK Google functionality on my watch; not that I use it often, but was convenient sometimes. Anyone else get this app update and see anything new on their watch?

I am loving Android Wear 2.0 on the Moto 360 2nd Gen so far.

No issues with vibration not working for new notifications? Or notification cards not appearing on the watch? Those are things reported on the Moto forum.

No issues at all so far. To fix the notification issue. Disconnect the watch on the phone then connect again. That should do the trick.

I found out that when watch is on the charger the clock no longer shows.

I believe that my Huawei Watch already did that before the update. Adter some time the clock no longer shows, which is stupid. On the Moto 360 1st generation it always showed, making it a bed side table watch. Maybe it's because we have an amoled screen but that doesn't make much sense...

That's not cool. I might defer the update for that. Google already took away the night clock mode from Android and now from Android Wear? Damn it Google, I use that every night.

I'm mad that they took away the double press of the side button on my Urbane to go into theater mode. Takes more steps now. I prefer my watch face off when charging.

I also can't seem to activate Google Assistant by voice on the watch. I HAVE to hold the side button. Maybe I'm missing a new setting somewhere, but that seems like a dumb change as well.

Jonny, I saw this on a Google support page, maybe it works on your watch?

"Since I got Android Wear 2.0, how do I turn on “OK Google”

In most watches, “OK Google” hotword is disabled by default...
To enable it, just go to your Android Wear watch settings, then Personalization and enable it from there.

You're a good man, Sajo! That fixed it. Truthfully, I hadn't bothered to go digging yet. I've only tried it a handful of times since I got the update & each time I've been reminded that I needed to look into it, but I was driving at the time every time, so wasn't going to try & find it at the time & then forgot about it by the time I was done running around.

And now I know how to re-enable it on my watches once we get the update.

Do you have the Always On Display feature set to Off? I was just reading that with AW 2.0 and that Setting set to Off, that will prevent the night stand clock mode from kicking in while charging.

I will try it when I get home from work.

One annoying bug I've noticed on my Huawei Watch since the 2.0 update is that the Google calendar notifications are not getting to the watch.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers

My guess is that Calendar notifications have been Off in the Android Wear phone app for a long time, since the Google Now app handled Calendar notifications on the watch. Since 2.0 is using Assistant, I don't think Assistant has full Calendar functionality yet. Can you enable Calendar notifications in the AW phone app now, or is the slider still set to Off?
