this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Linda calm what's going on guys the marked in Sangin from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be taking a closer look at Android lollipop on a mode of 360 Android bipolar pop is slowly but surely being pushed out to various of Android wear devices so if you haven't received the update yet keep pushing that check for update button and I'm sure you'll get it in no time now one of the first things I noticed with this update was the drop-down overlay used to just be the date and battery percentage alongside the mute toggle but what Android lollipop you get three different options to choose from there's show all which shows every notification you receive there's priority mode where only priority notifications come in and there's none or mute to show nothing at all there's also a few different modes or settings to choose from within the overlay there's theater mode which essentially turns off the screen and the vibration motor and the only way to turn the screen on from here is to use the side button of your SmartWatch there's also sunlight mode which temporarily maximizes the screens brightness so to display is easier to see under harsh lighting conditions last but not least you have a quick shortcut for your settings menu the update also includes the ability to swipe a card back when you accidentally dismiss it and I have to admit it I've done that several times over the weekend and I'm glad this feature is finally here now when you tap on a watch face you'll be prompted with Google now which looks a bit different in the enjoyed 5 point oh you have your google now label and under that will be your frequently used actions for a quick access and I also notice that the color palettes has changed just a bit to a more flatter more material design look now within the settings menu not much has changed other than the addition of accessibility where you can invert the colors of the screen but other than that everything else is just about the same let's stop the video for just a quick second and thank our friends over at Linda calm Linda calm offers thousands of engaging easy-to-follow video tutorials

also release a watch face API for developers which gives users even more ways to express their personal style while creating an opportunity for developers to customize the most prominent UI features of the watches developers will be able to change between 12 hour and 24 hour time or change the watch faces background and a background service to pull data like weather and calendar events some of the new watch faces that are available from the play store right now unfortunately only work for those who receive the update some of these are extremely beautiful and I love love the golden beauty watch face which looks super classy while giving the watch face that mechanical timepiece feel there's something like the us to watch faces which includes four watch faces in 12 of which includes weather information one as a regular clock and the other that includes your calendar events then there's something like surf language shows you live data from surf line surf forecast sir it essentially displays the tide time surf height wind speed and direction straight to your SmartWatch now when changing watch faces you get a bit of a different look from previous versions of Android where you now have a recent section for your recently used watch faces and you have all which shows all of your watch faces in an alphabetical order also with this update you'll be able to download watch faces from the google play store just like you do with apps however you won't see an app icon anymore as everything will be under your Android wear app which is pretty awesome less clutter in your app drawer and more watch faces on your SmartWatch the Android wear app has changed just a bit too giving the overall you I a material design look you also have the option to choose your watch faces from the app which I think should have been there from the first place the updated Android wear app also allows you to enable or disable tilt to wake which wasn't there in previous versions and you'll also be able to see your battery life including how much time you have left and a breakdown of usage by applications you can also check how much storage is left on your SmartWatch for apps and offline music but other than that everything else is about the same anyway since it for this video guys I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little tour or overview of the latest Android wear update if
