Forcing a firmware update

[Cruizer_8]

Is there a way to force a firmware update at all?  My wife and I both have a Versa and hers works correctly for texts using Message+ on her phone, however mine does not.  She is on version 32.32.10.20 and I am on 32.32.10.15.  I just need to get to the same version as her and then I will be happy with my watches functionality.

According to the pinned post, the .15 firmware is the new, updated firmware.

i was also told you cannot force the update. you just have to wait. i was waiting until my fitbit totally died on me. now i have to wait for a replacement. hopefully by then i'll get the update lol.

I hear now people who factory reset their Versa are getting the newest update. It’s in one of the forums.

I just did a factory reset and that got me updated to the new firmware.

Does Message+ now work for receiving text notifications on your Versa?

[SunsetRunner]

Mine does. You can choose up to 7 custom replies per messaging app from what I can make of it so far.

It doesn't work 100% for me.  I get some messages but not others.  Works fine on my wife's Versa tho.

I factory reset mine twice and still couldn't get it

I can't get the latest version, having real problems with GPS connection dropping out

If I do a factory reset, do I lose my clock face?

[Kenn.Sanchez]

You'll get a Versa that looks brand new like when you first took it out of the box. Just the standard Layers clock face.

I'm afraid if I take it back with a Factory Reset, it will die and not come back.
