Is Android Wear version Independent of Android Phone version?

I have a Verizon Note 4 that is on 4.4.4. I just received an Asus Zenwatch that is failing to update to Android Wear 5.0.2 due to this error: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch/help/unable-to-update-zenwatch-t2981611). However, Wear support is saying the Wear version is tied to to the phone version. I thought they were independent as the watch is running its own self-contained version of Android.
So basically, am I right and is the Wear support people not understanding me, or are they actually correct and I'm at the mercy of Verizon to update the Note 4 to Lollipop in order to get AW 5.0.2?

Your info is false. I currently have a Samsung Note Edge running 4.4.4 and my LG G Watch R is running 5.0.2 , works great.

Thats my point. Google Support keeps telling me the watch has to match the OS on your phone instead of knowing its an update issue with a batch of Zenwatches. But thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Would this work with my moto 360? I was going to buy a new phone as mine is kit Kat unless there is a way to update the watch. How did you update yours?

Moto G Turbo Edition getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Motorola has commenced rollout of the Marshmallow update to the Moto G Turbo Edition in India, according to a number of users.
Weighing in at around 445MB, the update debuts in India and bumps the firmware version to 24.11.22. In addition to the usual Marshmallow goodies (including Doze, Google Now on Tap, and redesigned app permissions), also includes the Android December security update.

The Moto G Turbo Edition only launched in India last month and comes with some reasonable hardware for its Rs 14,999 price tag. If you haven’t received an OTA notification and want to check for an update manually, head on over to settings -> about phone -> system update.

Yes. First you need to install twrp, then systemless super SU zip.

for me it was around 645 MB

Last year android M was released in October, and we get it in the 2015 moto G at December 24th in the US.... don't expect anything better than those 3 months...

and now its lenovo ,tough,it sucks,so it may take more ������ and even mm is wrost on g4+.

It's not even out yet. Possibly the first quarter of 2017!

I dont reallu agree with u guys out their i had been uaing an lenovo a7000 its marshmallow update came in pretty soon.... i think the problem shouldnt be how early v would be getting the update .... i think it shld be how early r v gonna get an stable update... coz the moto g4+ stocl is pretty unstable n there arent any good roms available for it.......n when it comes to ota i remember those crashings n unnecessary reboot my a7000 used to make all by itself(unstable after ota lollipop update)

I doubt that you know what you're talking about. The stock rom hasn't proven to be unstable at all. There have been mishaps while flashing the ota's but the number is small considering how many phones there are out there. If someone has the brains to read simple directions, even that can usually be fixed.

Improve Battery After Nougat Update

i have seen many comments in different threads about having poor battery life... i myself have faced this issue.. with my battery dropping like 5-7% while it's ideal to.. so many people suggested to full wipe my device but along with it i used a software BK DISABLER(SAMSUNG)...
i disabled all the apps along with samsung account(i checked shealth was still working after this but then i removed it seeing the number of services it had)
given in this link..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/safe-to-debloat-s6-threads-t3090383
please check the second cmnt by @lizaSB..it's more detailed and apps are easy to find.. whenever you disable a bloatware be sure to check you have disabled the services given in it(using BK DISABLER.. obviously)
I don't know whether a seperate thread has been created for this or not... but after nougat update this really helped.. my batter falls like 0.6 or 0.7 % perhour when it's ideal...
I know many scripts are availabel for doing this but that requires root.. this app doesn't requires root privilege .

I feel battery for the S6/N5 family improved with Nougat, while the S7 line battery was negatively impacted. Moving to a spare S6 I had, as I had to send my S8 in to replace my screen, I'm getting quite decent numbers for a 2-year old phone that was used for most of that time by my mom (she changed phones recently).

Is it normal to have ~30% of battery usage by Android System + Android OS on Wear 2.7

i use a verizon wear24 (without verizon, with all verizon apps like msg+ and my verizon disabled). i dont use anything special apps other than agenda (1 calender), facebook messager, and whatsapp. no google fit, no tracking, no location. the wear24 has a 400mah battery which is decent , and uses snapdragon 2100 but i'm usually only getting barely 1 day of usage. i noticed that i'm getting 30% of usage in Android OS and System, what exactly are they doing that uses that much ? when the watch first arrived it was on android wear 1.5 , sadly i didnt use it much so i dont know IF it really is the OS causing issues. i upated it , and it went all the way to "2.7"
here is my battery usage (you can see i havent really been using the watch at all based on the screen % usage):

i'm abit disappointed at the battery life as i used to use the moto 360 (1st gen) with a very very old cpu and less battery capacity and it would easily last over 1 day.

Don't know what is to be expected, but maybe these tips will help:

Also, if you aren't using LTE on the wear24, you can disable it in Settings under Connectivity to save battery there too. This may need to be repeated with each reboot.
