So over the past few days, have noticed that if I walk away from my phone (LG G3 Verizon rooted) my watch does not auto reconnect. Any ideas? It does reconnect after 2-3 mins, or if I disconnect/reconnect from Wear app. Never did this before. Always reconnected almost instantly when I got back within range of the phone.
Have you unpaired the watch and phone. Reboot and pair up? If you have what about unpaired then uninstall android wear, then reboot and start again?
Last resort would be a reset of the watch.

Try restarting the watch and turning off and on the bluetooth your phone. I noticed that it takes about a min to reconnect sometimes and restarting the watch and turning off/on the bluetooth on the phone helps.
I noticed the same thing, and it's indeed not very convenient...
I wonder if this may have something to do with the latest update that achieve a better battery management.
Maybe they increased the time between bluetooth connection attempts in case of connection loss, to avoid wasting precious battery life?

I have tried all of this, minus doing a reset on the watch. If I cant figure out, this is what Ill be trying next.

Thought this too, but it just happened out of the blue. It wasnt right after the update.
I just rem'd last night that there was an update to an xposed module I use, called Unbounce, Im wondering if this is the culprit. You wouldnt happen to have it installed too, would you? I am going to test disabling it and see if it resolves my issues. Will report back.
So just tested and it still takes a long time to reconnect. Next step will be wiping watch completely and seeing if it resolves the issue. Will try this over the next few days when I get some free time to really mess with it.
My device also does not seem to auto reconnect. A manual cycle of the connection status from the android wear app on the phone immediately reconnects it for me. I don't have the patience to wait and see if it has a timeout on reconnect but I can test if need be.

Good to hear I am not the only one. Which phone do you have? Mine does reconnect, but takes 1-3mins. Im not using a stop watch, just looking at clock and watching the time before it reconnects.
Nexus 5 32gb. Ill do an intentional test and see if it reconnects eventually with a time out. I imagine as others have said it was set to a timeout to save battery.

OK, Im on LG G3 Verizon rooted. Its just weird that either I didnt notice it after the update, or it happened shortly after the update. Either way, batt life has been a lot better, I just wanted to make sure something I did didnt screw it up.
And let us know about your test for the disconnect.

FWIW I don't have Xposed installed (but a custom ROM on a i9502 Dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S4, which might contain some Xposed stuff even though it's unlikeley).
I didn't notice the same reconnect delay today, so maybe this isn't a permanent phenomenon...
I have same issue with reconnecting after walking away. I have a Galaxy S5.
Walked upstairs and watch disconnected, got alert. Came back down and put phone in my pocket. Took three minutes to reconnect.
Bluetooth reconnect takes ages
Same issue with my 360. I have a xperia z2 and its taking a good 2-3 mins to recconect. Such a pain as this is really important to me and work.
Any ideas on if its a downloaded app or not?
Everyone's timeout is looking about equal. It was probably put in for battery savings.
Isn't this what we want? An immediate reconnect (admittedly what my gear live and neo do) would mean constant ping attempts while disconnected. This means battery. My 360 re-connects within 2-3 minutes which is fine by me.

Yep. Just wanted to make sure as it seemed to happen not right after the update. Thanks everyone.
Has anyone else experienced frequent disconnects between the watch and the phone?
It was happening with my modded Note 3, which had a custom kernel so I was thinking it may be that. But now (for 2 weeks) I've been on a stock Note 4, and it keeps happening. Every once in a while, once a day or maybe once every two days, the phone and watch disconnect.
Android Wear says "connecting" but never does unless I click on Disconnect and then click on Connect, at which point it connects immediately.
I had "Find My Phone" installed, which would notify me when I got disconnected, so I thought it may be that. Uninstalled it a few days ago. Still happens. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying and I don't see why it should happen.
Any idea?
Noticed the same with my 360 and Nexus 5. Both on stock latest versions.
Issue with mine is that the Moto360 constantly says Disconnected when trying to connect to my Note4. I click connect, it says connected and then quickly changes to Disconnected.
Been trying to figure it out for 3 days now.
I think I realized that the issue is in reconnecting.
I still don't know why sometimes it disconnects, but disconnecting itself wouldn't be an issue if then it proceeds to reconnect on its own.
But I realized that when I'm at home, I leave my phone by the computer and walk around. If I walk outside of the bluetooth range, then it disconnects. That's fine. But then it should reconnect when I come back into range, and it never does. It says "Connecting" and never reconnects unless I do it manually as I said in the OP.
So I guess the question becomes: why does it get stuck on "connecting" when it's in range and should be connected? Is this a Samsung issue or a Moto360 issue?
I have seen the same issue with my Moto 360 and an original Moto X. It normally reconnects but then once in a while it just won't. The easiest solution I have found is to turn bluetooth off and then on again on my Moto X. That always brings it back, a reboot of the 360 does not.
Well as I said in the OP, if I go into Android Wear, click Disconnect and then click Connect, it works. But there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't auto-connect. If it disconnects, and I don't notice, the rest of the day I go without notifications until I realize the watch has disconnected. That's not how this should work.

Hi, i have the same problem, my watch always disconect to my phone (moto x), and then the bluetooth system never start again. When I enter in setup ---- bluetooth---- the bluetooth switch doesn t turn on again until phone reboot.
this is so annoying. and it seems like there's a few people experiencing the same thing but nobody seems to have hit a solution. I have yet to come up with one. if I do, i'll post on here.
Same happens with mine. It just prompts me with a "connect" screen on my phone once in a while. After connecting 2-3 times, it won't appear until next time I turn off Bluetooth.
I get this problem about 2 times per day...running with a Note 2 running 4.4.2 stock but rooted....

Mine disconnects if I go over 50ft from my phone but quickly re-connects when I get back in range. I love the watch!
I have the same problem: mine never reconnects automatically, i always have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. Maybe a Nexus 4 (LG) Problem?

Yes, I have the same problem and it's very annoying. Every time I flash a new rom or update a rom(Vanir LP) to my phone(LG G3), I have the hardest time getting it to reconnect. I always have to reset the watch to get it to connect again.
Mine worked, connected and reconnected flawlessly and quickly the first five days that I owned it. However the last few days, it's disconnected when I wake up and I have a hard time reconnecting. Now the watch says that it's connected to the phone, but the phone (Android Wear App) can't see the watch. Very weird. I've reset the watch three times. I've un-paired and re-paired the devices in bluetooth. I've cleared cache and cleared stored data and uninstalled Android Wear App, then re-installed it. The Android Wear App just can't find the watch anymore, but the the Watch still shows it's connected. This is maddening.

FWIW, I don't have any problem with my ZenWatch and Nexus 4. I've had the watch for a few weeks now, and no connection problems with it. I do notice that it doesn't maintain the connection for as large a distance as my old Sony Smartwatch did, but it doesn't have any problem reconnecting. I figure the distance issue is because of the use of Bluetooth v4 instead of v3 with the Sony.
Disconnection to Apple Iphone 5
I have the same problem. Does not reconnect. I've tried everything. The only way to reconnect is to unpair the watch which resets the watch to factory default and establish a new connection to the watch.
After software update cannot answer calls etc.
Functionality wise not very good especially to iphone.
Good looking watch though.
Hey guys. My watch keeps constantly disconnecting and connecting all day long. I've tried everything and still no luck. Is it a bug with the latest android wear update do you think? The app even sort of freezes when I open it sometimes where it doesn't display the watch I'm connected to and you can't do anything. Thanks for your help.
It seems to happen each time there is a notification. Ill do a test text to myself and when it comes through on my phone, instead of receiving it on my watch it starts the whole disconnect / connect process and by the time it finally connects, the notification is missed.
Thanks for your help.
Ryan.
I also have this issue. Then I reset the watch and everything runs fine for a few weeks. But then it suddenly acts up really badly. I've just done a reset after a complete malfunction, where it wouldn't even connect anymore.
EDIT: I contacted Huawei regarding this issue and they offered a waranty case as they suspect a defective BT unit.
I'm doubting. Especially if I would get a red-glow unit after a replacement, it would really be bad.
My Bluetooth disconnects whenever the screen turns off. This has been happening since the Oreo update. I have used Xperia Companion Software Repair, but it doesn't help. Network reset does help for a few hours but the issue always comes back. Anyone else have this problem, and did you find a solution?

Edit: I found that turning off wifi and wifi scanning fixes the issue.
I know this is an old post but dude you're a lifesaver. This was driving me nuts until I found your post!
