If I leave my phone on my office desk and walk away, the watch will not pair back to the phone (Samsung S5). I have to reboot the watch to get it to reconnect. Inside the android wear app it shows as "connecting" and even if I hit the icon to stop and restart the connection process no dice.
TL;dr
I have no issues with random disconnects but when I get out of range it will not reconnect when I am back in range.
I've a note 3 running 4.4.2 rooted stock. No issues here reconnecting.

So I just got my Note 2 this past Friday to replace my original Note. It was fantastic until yesterday.
Was playing with the cards on Google Now and the screen went black. Nothing worked until I pulled the battery and restarted. Most everything was fine after that except wifi. It keeps toggling itself on and off roughly once or twice second. It's set to stay on always so its not related to that. I can sit there and actually watch the on/off switch slide back and forth, it will do this roughly 100 times over 5 minutes and then shut off the entire phone.
Very frustrating for a new phone. any thoughts before I go exchange this?
try factory resetting it
done it, twice, still happening
Are you using the 5g wireless connection (if your router supports it)? I've had nothing but problems on recent Android versions connecting to that. It will disconnect and reconnect several times a minute. It started with my Galaxy nexus, continued with my S3, and now my Note 2.
If I connect to the standard wireless (The 2.4GHz band), everything is fine. I don't doubt it's probably my router (Netgear WNDR3400), but I hope this helps.
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....
I get a brand new Note 4 a few days ago. The wired thing is both Wifi and Bluetooth won't reconnect automatically. For Wifi, it won't automatically reconnect to my home wifi after I get home. It won't be able to see my home wifi. I have to manually turn the airplane mode on and off to make the connection happen. For bluetooth, I have paired it with my car and Panansonics Link to Cell cordless phone. Both won't automatically reconnect. Sometimes I can reconnect manually and sometimes I have to delete the device then repair the device to make the connection happen. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Anything wrong with my phone? How I can fix it?
Thank you
Yep. Same thing here. I have to reconnect manually all of the time.
Both our note 4s auto reconnect to wifi and bluetooth.
Not exactly sure what would be interfering with its reconnecting ability but I assume standard reset procedures ,battery pull, factory reset etc.
Take it to store to have it reflashed, escalate to exchange device if necessary.
I have the issue with my car. Keeps losing connection to Bluetooth when car is shut off. Next time I turn on car it says pairing failed.

I have problem with reconnection of my SW3 to my Note 3 with Android 5.0 when I am away for longer time period.
Maybe this problem is connected with lollipop or newer Android Wear App, because about month ago this was going well.
Strange is that on watch is "no connection" icon and on phone is "connected". So phone is making no atteption to reconnect, even bluetooth on/off does not help, I have to restart my phone.
Any help with this problem?
Factory reset your watch then in the wear app press "Forget Watch" that's what fixed that problem for me.
I'm about to throw this stupid thing against the wall. Since I bought this thing a couple months ago I've noticed that sometimes when I am watching youtube a box will pop up telling me that I've connected to T1 (the name of my wifi network). It seemed odd because I was already connected but whatever. Then lately I've been using the HBOgo app to watch shows, and at some point during every episode the app will freeze and I will have to back out and then resume the episode. I assumed it was the HBO app, but I've started to realize that it is the tablet itself freezing and disabling wifi. I realized this today when I was trying to download some files. Nothing too large, 60-100mb, but the downloads were always failing before they could complete so I would have to start over. I start to download a file, the download should only take a couple minutes at the most, but before it completes, somewhere between 30% to 95% downloaded, the whole tablet freezes up and becomes completely unresponsive. Then the wifi icon disappears from the top right, and the wifi button next to location, bluetooth, etc, goes from green to gray, then after a few seconds it goes back to green and a box pops up telling me that I am connected to my wifi network again. I start the download again and the exact same thing happens. I've also noticed that the tablet gets quite hot around the camera.
It does the same thing when connected to my TP Link Archer C7 (just using N, not AC) and a netgear router I had lying around. I doubt it's the network as the router has no way to forcibly disable wifi on my tablet. When I said that the wifi button goes from green to gray, it's as if I had tapped it to manually disable wifi, even though I did no such thing.
Also, it does seem like if I turn the screen off and let it sit for a while to cool down, it will work until it heats up again. Once it starts to feel hot though the wifi will start disabling itself and downloads start failing again.
I'm only about 10 feet away from the router with direct line of site.
So is it just overheating? Defective and time to send it in under warranty?
Everything is stock.

looks like the most recent OTA update breaks wifi, read that thread.... i got lucky as i usually just blindly accept OTA's when prompted... but i checked here and found that it was causing problems
