Android Wear needs another update

7:34 PM




(Sorry this is really long) I have been using Android Wear 5.0.1 and Google still has not fixed a problem months after we told them. That problem of course is alarms on the watch and phone not syncing. If reminder can sync between them then why can't alarms? To Google's defense what if you don't have your watch on? So I here I am to answer that! If your watch is in it's charger then have the alarm ring on the phone and if it is not... Well You get the idea. This some what already happens when your watch is in the charger i.e it turns your ringer on if your watch is charging. Two other problems I have is I thought the new watch face API would allow us to choose what type of cards would show up. An example of this would be me settings cards not to show in dim mode but the second I turn the screen on a medium/small card pops up over the watch face. The invert watch face(which you can find on the play store) already does something like this as in it shows no card while in dim mode and a medium sized card when the screen is on. I know there is the slide the card down feature and the show no card preview option but those are not what I'm looking for. The second problem I have with the update is that it seemed to mess up Google Voice input for me. You need to be really loud for it to register if it even registers at all. Sometimes it just does not work. I am done ranting for now, let me know if you feel the same and what you would want Google to add.
