I know I should just let this go unanswered but I can't help myself. You talk about Huawei being slow, what other manufacturer has released 1.4? Who do you think develops and distributes Android Wear? Hint... It's not Huawei. And this isn't Android where carriers and OEM's get to put their own personal touches into it. This is pure Google across all watches. And to your question, there are one or two other threads going on this subject. And you'll find in them that nobody knows yet.

I know this is what I find amusing when people complain about no speaker yet.
The speaker is not supported yet because Goggle has not yet updated Android Wear to support the speaker.
Has nothing to do with Huawei.

I'm pretty sure the changelog for AW 1.4 included speaker support. I remember reading about it when Skin updated his root kernel last. i think that the interface of the watch is going to need some updating for sure to add support for calls. that cant come from AW update. that has to come from Huawei update.

This is awesome news, thanks for sharing. I still have some problems to understand the concept of SW roll outs for Android Wear though.
Google is directly updating the Android Wear software for the watch often referred as the "6.0 Marshmallow" update. Is this the operating system of the watch? Which part is Huawei updating with their OTA updates then?
If Google states they activate the speaker, does this also mean they will update the simple call notification app we have at the moment to an app where we can actually make calls through the watch or is this something, that Huawei has to provide after the Android Wear update?

Yes this is the software on the actual device itself. The watch will received the OTA ask to download and install. Which is different than the android wear app, on the play store. Two different items, but work together. Clear as mud? lol If you are at all familiar with the Nexus device updates, they usually "stage" the rollouts slowly. Which isn't horrible. It'll hit my device when it does. When I feel a slowdown on the watch, I'll restart it to see if an update is waiting to be downloaded.

As for the speaker, that is the speculation at this point. We'll see how it will work in the coming weeks.

Maybe someone will be kind enough to pull the OTA from the watch before installing so everyone that wants to can "speed up" the process :good:
I would be more than happy to do that once I get the update, but I don't know how so I would have to be given directions for how to do it.
