Next Android Wear update will bring interactive watch faces & GWR WIFI Update!!!

[dkb218]

Lastly, if you happen to own an LG G Watch R, you’ll be happy to know that the upcoming update does enable WiFi capability. After the Android 5.1.1 update, many LG G Watch R owners were quite upset to find out that their watch was left out of the WiFi upgrade. LG later stated that a future update would add the functionality. It looks like the next OTA update will keep LG to their promise by finally enabling WiFi..

States in the first paragraph of the linked article:

Google originally scheduled the launch for July 28th, though we’re hearing the timeline has shifted to sometime in August.

I received the update for Android Wear today and it doesn't seem to change anything to the GWR. My watch is still the same since I bought it.

 

[DarkFlasher]

Do you guys suggest moving back to the stock ROM from LeeDroid's one, so we can get the OTA?

Is everyone on 5.1.1 via an OTA update? I just got my GWR yesterday and it refuses to update, even after factory resetting at least 8 times. I'm still on 4.4. Several months ago I had a Samsung Gear Live, which received the 5.1.1 update on the first day.

I think they paused the update because the new one is on its way. There's talk, the new update is coming later today, so they will probably update all the watches then.

From what I've been reading the Android Wear 1.3 update should be rolling out over the coming weeks.
