Google Glass is back on Track with 16.2 Update

 
3 More  #GlassUpdates are on the way. Look out for these changes over the course of this week:

Google Glass explorers that were affected a few weeks ago when their Glass was in boot loop should be good now. Andrew Adams of Onevisus and Turnkey Communications Inc. Said, " Thank God now I am ready for the AWE Expo in Santa Clara ! "

Photo and video backup – Backing up your photos and videos can take a lot of bandwidth, so to avoid eating through your phone’s data plan, Glass only backs up when you’re plugged in and on Wi-Fi. But we heard loud and clear that you wanted a choice, so now you can force a backup on any internet connection.  Just swipe to the Auto Backup card in Settings and tap to start a backup.

Clear photos and videos from timeline – One of our top community requests is to be able to clear all your photos and videos from your timeline in one step. All the shutterbugs out there can now tap the Auto Backup card and then swipe forward to "Clear" your synced photos and videos from your timeline and free up storage space.

Smarter phone answering – Ring, ring… Glass is getting smarter about answering the phone. If you answer or make a call with your phone, the phone's audio is active. If you answer or make a call with Glass, Glass audio is active. Also, phone calls will no longer route to your Glass if it’s inactive – for example, if Glass detects that you’re not wearing it.
