I've been watching for any news regarding the impending Android Wear 2.0 roll-out, and everything I read pointed to an October 15th announcement. Well, today Google released some info regarding Android 5 (Lollipop), the huge Nexus 6, Nexus 9 tablet and even the new Android TV Player... but nothing about Android Wear. Did I miss something? If not, that's a bit of a disappointment since we could really use some new features and options on these devices we investing in. I don't regret buying my watch, but I would certainly like a bit more customization on this thing.
lol looks like the 3rd

So, its delayed once again?
It seems that Google wants to release Android Wear alongside of Lollipop 5.0. With that nasty misc wifi bug that was killing battery performance, Google has delayed the Lollipop release until the 12th of November. I assume we will see Wear 2.0 the same day.

I hate to bring you the bad news but I'm just as disappointed as
you probably will be after reading this. Long story short: in Barcelona Sony promised an official ICS update for the Xperia S
sometime in April, then it all of a sudden we woke up in May with no
update and last week Sony officially said that, well, let us quote: “Xperia
S is planned to get ICS somewhere around late May/early June. That’s
what’s been said and that’s still what we’re sticking to. Any other dates
(such as “June/July”) is just speculation. The roll out is, as always,
gradual and will not happen over night for all phones. Some phones
might get the update in late May whilst other will get in i mid June etc“.
Now it turns out that someone “mixed things up” and “they are really
sorry”. I feel sorry, for those who purchased an Xperia S( including me) , flagship
Sony Android for 2012, and it still isn’t running ICS. But it will,
eventually, in case this too isn’t a mix-up: “Xperia S will get it during
latter part of Q2“. As far as those who own 2011 Xperias are concerned,
they “will get ICS during late May/early June. Which was the timing I
mixed with the Xperia S timing“. No other comment is necessary! Hang
on there, just one more month!

The updates for apps to take advantage of Windows Phone 8 features keep on coming. Today we get the popular BBC News Mobile for Windows Phone hitting up the Marketplace. The app is a popular way for readers around the globe to access the BBC News website in an optimized format for your device.
It’s been a little over a week since we showed you what to expect in the version 4 of the app (completely rewritten), but here is a quick refresher of some features you can look forward when updating:
Lockscreen support – Use a new picture from the In Pictures blog as your lockscreen, will update daily.
Improved performance
Support for small, medium, and large Live Tiles
New welcome experience – Walks a user though setting up the app when launched for the first time.
I’ve updated the app and already notice the improvement in performance. It wasn’t really a slouch before, but the app is really fluid now when swiping between panorama view or opening articles.
If the BBC is your source of news, this app is worth download or updating right away. Obviously, those improvements above like lockscreen support and different tile sizes will work for those running Windows Phone 8.
You can download the app right here in the marketplace
Hello,
I need 5.1 or higher to run in my Galaxy Kzoom (SM-C115) that is stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2 from lack of Samsung support. I also need to keep my Kzoom since in the 7 years since its release there is no other phone at any price that can take pictures as good as it does.
Unfortunate and lame (Come on manufacturers!)
I know that a Note Neo 3 has the same chipset: Exynos 5260 Hexa and can run higher versions so maybe porting one of those ROM's is the best approach.
Rooting has been worked out for Kzoom but no ROM 5.1 or higher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-galaxy-k-zoom-katkernel-3-4-104-005.2798321/
This person pulled off a slim KitKat ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...custom-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-k-zoom.3172166/
Let me know if anyone with MAD Skills can pull this off as its beyond my abilities and I am willing to pay for a stable Lollipop ROM.
Thanks

Challenge accepted. PM me!
Seems I am in the same situation as Freedomfliyer1 - loving my Galaxy K zoom for its camera and hating Samsung for neglecting its updates ;-)
Since Android 4.4.2 stupidly does not enable the implemented TLS1.2 by default, many apps stopped working. And now my beloved offline navigation went to Lollipop as minimum requirement.
Thus I would love to get hold of a custom ROM based on a more recent Android version for the SM-C115 - and would put some money in a crowdfunding hat for it, or contribute as a beta tester, or in some other way....
Let me know what's neeed to jon the bandwagon.
Yesterday was OTA update (Spain), and i feel the tablet more fluid, fast, perhaps it is my perception...

Thanks... in the US - My Tab A7 Lite is still on U1AUJ1 with Security Patch Level dated Aug 1st 2021 since November 2021 - I was hoping to get Android 12 next. Wishful thinking.

I think you are right, mine was updated to XXU1AUL1 and it definately feels more fluid, a bit faster and less laggy than previous build. Lets hope that android 12, when it comes, will be on the same path.
Just got the XXU1AUL2 update for my Tab A7 Lite in the US. - It does feel a little faster - Nothing else new to report... so far.
Did anyone here manually S22+ OTA update to UI 5.1 !?
PLEASE, Leave your comments. PROS & CONS after you have updated UI to 5.1
Especially, Battery life & performances?
from Reddit, people said that S22U with UI5.1 has a lot of improvements
Update info: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-S906E/XXV/doc.html
Update package: > 8GB

Nah, having it for some time already. Not a lot of improvements but regarding battery life, it is back in the line with One UI 4.1 maybe. 5.0 was pretty bad for me at least (Qualcomm version here). But with location enabled, the drain is still considerable. I am considering making a full wipe to see if it does solve the lags over the UI that it shows from time to time. The least important things (animations), improved. I'm still trying to understand the reason a company like Samsung (or even Google) put so much effort to a truly worthless features like animations. I really don't care about things flying around, I just need my applications running as quick as possible, preferably without redraws...
For reference, a factory reset helped to restore smoothness, battery and even small lags the phone was presenting occasionally
