When pinging you iPhone, you could hold down the ping button and the phone would flash the rear LED too.

The flash doesn't work for me anymore. Anyone else find this to be true ?

works for me.. just checked it.

I didn't even know that was a thing, but it works for me.

Thanks for checking. Mine is working now. I checked my iPhone and the Flashlight in Control Centre was greyed out and not working. Simple switch on and off on the iPhone and it's working again.

I installed the profile for OS2 GM version. Due to many comments on here about poor battery life I don't wan to install it. I am prepared to wait for the general release version.

How do I remove the pending update ? I have tried deleting the profile but the update is still pending.

I would appreciate some help if someone knows for sure how to remove it.

You won't be able to. The update badge will remain until you hit Update.

Having a very strange problem with mine. My usage screen constantly says can't connect to watch and I can't sync any music. Unpaired and repaired from backup and it works until I put the watch on charge. Then I set it up as new and same again. Working fine then stops after being charged. Hopefully it works better when I pair it to my 6s in a couple of weeks.

I got the same issue and my battery life is poor too. Usually by the time I get home from working a double, 16 hours, my battery is on 45-48%. It's now at 27% with the same amount of usage.

I am running iOS9 , there any chance installing this on my apple watch now will work?

I've had my watch on for 13 hours. I've received about 200 notifications today from what's app and Twitter; with a regional work group going crazy leading up to iPhone launch, and the rugby World Cup happening, my watch hasn't stopped pinging all day.

I'm now on 53% battery. Not exactly sure a battery bug is the issue, but I can confirm I've had issues with apps like many devs have, so that makes more sense for the delay.

How do i get hold of the GM ? Unsure how the process works if you aren't a developer?

I tried it. It does work, but it's not very intuitive. You need to tap and hold not force press, took me several tries to work it out.

Dang! I was force touching. Works great. Thank for clearing it up for me.

So far, the unpairing and repairing seems to help my battery drain. However, the bug when I go to check the usage and it says "unable to connect" still persists.

I get that occasionally after the watch has been charging overnight; selecting "OK", then tapping Usage again populates the info every time after that.

I get that too and everything I've tried hasn't made it work I'm hoping when I pair my watch to my new 6s on Friday it should sort it out.
