If
you're lucky enough to be an early Google Glass owner, you might want to glance
at device settings to see what software your headset is running. According to reports, Google is tonight pushing out a new
update, XE5, that contains a number of bug fixes, optimizations, and other
changes. First, Google is implementing a new rule on where and when Glass can
upload data in the background. From now on, apps will only be able to do so
while Glass is connected to both a power source and a local Wi-Fi network.
Google doesn't outline exactly why it's suddenly adopting a strict stance on
this.
Additionally,
Glass now displays incoming Google+ notifications for Hangouts, mentions,
comments, and shares. You can even +1 and comment on posts through Glass. And
while the update doesn't impact battery longevity directly, Google says its
percentage indicator is now more accurate. Transcription of user queries and
messages is also "wicked fast" according to the changelog acquired by Phandroid:

policy: require power + WiFi for background uploads
