Apple Releases WatchOS 2.0.1 Update for Apple Watch With Multiple Bug Fixes

[gsmornot]

When I updated to OS2 a while back... It did reset my daily activity bar. Today, however, updating to 2.0.1, my bar and progress did not get affected at all.

Same here. I went ahead with the update (taking a chance) and no problems. Good thing.

Since 2.0.1 my  Watch doesn't do sound when receiving notifications. ONLY VIBRATES!!!! Anyone having the same issue?

Is the exercise ring back to normal? Or is it still so sensitive that it still fill up even if butterflies on the other side of the world are whispering? Because at the moment its useless.

Hey, since the OP has counted and there's only a dozen or so of us, we ought to get to know each other better. Ought to be easy enough to remember than many first names. Hi, I'm Carl.

Very happy with my Apple Watch, BTW. Not the best computer ever, but definitely the most informative and accurate watch I've ever had.

Trolls like him should be ignored.

Obviously in his little world it's pointless but for MILLIONS it isn't.

Did this fix the issue with digital touch coming from icloud email instead of phone number for anyone? I'm still getting that issue. I haven't found a solution yet.

Not sure why Apple requires the watch to be connected to the charger in order to receive the update. My watch has 84% battery left, so it's not like it's going to die.

Not a huge deal. I'll just have to update it when I get home from work later today.

You had the same idea as me, by posting here. It hasn't fixed the issue for either of us, but I'm hoping a little more exposure will get this answered.
Anyone else still having this problem?

Check that mute on the watch is off. Mine randomly mutes itself. Hoping this update fixes this issue since this affects others as well.

Still have an issue where contacts that show up with the person's name on my iPhone show up as a phone number on the watch. Wasn't the case on WatchOS 1.1. Not sure how to fix it.

Check the glances for mute and check sounds in settings.

Release notes say it should. Could be worth double checking iMessage settings on phone as to where the default 'send from' is set as.

Frustrating that my iPhone needs to be on wifi to download the 60Mb update! No wifi here at work, so I'm stuck waiting until I get home.



It's just in the list, that list is not in any particular order. You're making a mountain out of a molehill...

I'm not doing anything. Just explaining why it would be easy for one to assume that emojis where a large focus of this update.

There is an option under Sound & Haptics called Cover to Mute that allows you to mute the watch by covering the screen with your palm when a notification is being displayed and I've found that this occasionally seems to get activated by my sleeve if I've got a certain heavy jacket on, so I wonder if this is what you are getting too?

as well as finding my watch depleted in a day (which may be part of that bug or a different one, dunno)

Will do. I will update in the afternoon. At first, I thought it was the multi color (I'm still not convinced it isn't) So I changed to solid and it seemed to do better. Then I changed my workouts to the morning and I noticed ever other day it would be dead or dying by like 1pm. I took my watch off to charge and the green sensors would not turn off. After resetting the watch it did better. It's a sporadic thing and I hate having to look at my watch to see if it would make through the day. On Saturday, I wore it from 9am to 3am in the morning and it still had 35%. So buggy now. Hopefully it fixes it.

Thank you,I appreciate it. I took mine off the charger at 8am on Saturday. By 2:30pm I was down to 10%. I'll let you know what the Apple Store says as well. I hope this fixes you're too.

Thanks again.

Hoping this fixes the random battery drain that affects my (and a few others I've read of) watches occasionally. It's super weird how some days it'll drain even when I haven't used any apps. A restart usually fixes the issue but a patch would be better.

Yep I'm hoping for the same, as is my wife. Very peculiar when the drain happens. No rhyme/reason that I can tell that triggers it. It's VERY infrequent - maybe once a month - perhaps longer. Hopefully this fixes it!

The battery thing has happened to me as well a couple of times over the last few weeks. It seemed to have started after the first time I did an Outdoor Cycling workout with the activity app. Example: last Sunday morning, I charged it to 100 percent around 9 am. Went on a 12 mile bike ride. Battery was dead at 3:20 that afternoon. Have had my watch since May and it has usually been good for a around 1 1/2 days before getting into power reserve. I'm hoping this update fixes that. I noticed my heart rate sensors stuck on once when I took the watch off for bed time.

Pretty sure this is a feature, not a bug

Apple today released a new software update for the Apple Watch, upgrading watchOS 2 to version 2.0.1. The update comes one month after Apple first released watchOS 2 to the public with new features like Nightstand mode, native apps, new watch faces, and more.

The 2.0.1 update can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to General --> Software Update. To install the update, the Apple Watch must have 50 percent battery, it must be placed on the charger, and it must be in range of the iPhone. watchOS 2.0.1 requires iOS 9.1 or iOS 9.0.2 to be installed on the iPhone.The watchOS 2.0.1 update includes a whole slew of bug fixes, as listed above, and it also includes support for the new emoji also made available in OS X with 10.11.1 El Capitan and iOS with iOS 9.1.

Terrible experience updating, unsuccessfully so far, getting error message that update is unsuccessful because not connected to Internet. Not true, but still no update.

Going to update this morning .

Release notes indeed say that it should. That doesn't appear to be the case.

Because it's a main bullet point of the update. Had emojis been a side note along with other larger features, I'm betting he wouldn't think that.

But bug fixes actually can require more resources than new features when those features are small. It is simply not logical to assume that new emojis required more resources than ironing out problems in the code.

For most, it seems to have fixed it. Thus my suggestion in the rest of my post.

Ive long given up on people having common sense on this forum, they won't realise that.

I asked because I haven't seen anyone confirm that it fixed it for them. I am seeing numerous complaints from people that it didn't, however.

And yes, my settings are correct.

I did put a + sign to make the 10 feel good about their purchase...

Thanks for your useless input, now you can go back to your sandbox and wait to grow up.

Maybe it's worth unpairing & repairing, or other things like that, as numerous people have stated that the update fixes it for them... ME included.
