Moto 360 Communication issues - Moto 360

Seems like almost daily I get an email on my phone that doesn't come through on my 360. The phone is on my side so distance isn't the problem. My 360 doesn't have the "not connected" symbol showing either. Once I restart my phone the watch starts receiving emails that are sent from that point forward.
This is annoying. Anyone know how to fix or improve?
Thanks! :good:

I am having similar issues with my Moto 360 and Nexus 6 (AT&T). Text messages and emails do not push notifications to my Moto 360, I have to manually go into Android Wear settings and "resync apps" everyday. If I do this at the beginning of the day I generally have no issues, sometimes I'll have to do it twice per day. But for some reason, at night or whatever, the watch becomes "unsynced" to the phone. I think it's ridiculous that I have to manually go in and select resync apps just so the basic feature(s) of the watch work every day. Not only is it irritating, but it really seems like the device isn't functioning as advertised. I had a very basic HTC (Desire 510) in which I had similar connectivity issues with, I thought for sure I would have no issues with the Moto 360 if I also had a Motorola phone; this unfortunately does not seem to be the case.
Additionally, when I wake my Moto 360 to give it a command, upon saying "Ok Google" followed by my command, my Moto 360 habitually does one or two things; my command fails, watch displays "Offline," the little circle keeps spinning and the command is never recognized (I swipe to dismiss it after a minute, I have never been patient enough to wait for it to work because I have a feeling it never will). More often than not when I go to give my Moto 360 a command ("send text to..." "start Track ID" "navigate me home" etc) it does not work. I would say the watch functions as it should about 45% of the time. This is the most irritating issue I have been having with my Moto 360; I believe it to be related to the OP's issue

TIP: How to disable the "OK Google" toast

This has been covered in multiple threads but there seems to be a constant confusion on how these steps are actually performed. Here are the steps to disable the "OK Google" toast message on any Android Wear wearable with a stock face.
Notes:
- These steps were performed on a freshly reset/paired watch. I thought I captured the "paired" message but was too slow.
- Apparently I can't say "OK Google" without sounding like I'm also eating a banana. Sorry.
1. Once you've paired your watch and have access to the clock, speak, "OK Google".
2. Clear the "listening" microphone screen with a swipe.
3. Turn your display off.
4. Turn your display on again and repeat until the message goes away (should be 5 times).

This works for me, but only for a day or so. Since I don't use the command all that often (since apparently I only have a speech impediment when I speak to Google), is there ANY way of disabling this permanently? I'll root my watch (LG G Watch R - they have to figure out a better name for that), I'll ROM it, whatever. I just use a very minimal (like Movado minimal) face and the ok Google appearing or me having to day ok Google a bunch of times every day is really, really grating on my nerves.

some patterns i've noticed:
- when you change watch faces it comes back
- when an update is pushed, it comes back (watch or android wear)
i haven't noticed that it comes back without one of these occurring.

[Q] Moto 360 & Google Fit - Activities History

I can't work out what the problem is here and it's frustrating the hell outta me!
Basically, it seemed to be working fine. On the 360 and within the Google Fit app my daily history could be seen.
Unrelated, I reset my HTC One M8 to factory. I did the same with the 360 and started over again.
Since then, Google Fit just doesn't seem interested in keeping my history. It has no problems counting steps and taking heart rate on the day. If on Monday I did 5,000 steps, come Tuesday when I look at my history on the 360 and on the phone, it will tell me how many steps I've done Tuesday (today) but in the history part it displays nothing. The graph on the watch will display only today. Yesterdays, day before, day before that etc. - nothing. On the watch it will have a 0 next to the day. In the app it will simply say 'your activities will appear here' - but they never do.
I've tried clearing Fit data from within the app and from the Android apps menu, resyncing apps, resetting watch, repairing watch with phone, uninstalling everything to do with Fit and the 360. To no avail. Irritatingly my father in law has a 360 but paired with a Note II and he has no problem recording and viewing his history.
I'm not sure where the fault lies, whether it's with the 360, Google Fit or my HTC One M8.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Moto360 having trouble connecting to Nexus 6?

Anybody else using a moto 360 with their nexus 6 on Verizon?
I am having connectivity problems between the watch and the phone. Sometimes I speak into the watch and Google is thinking, thinking, and then stops. Like it can't reach the phone. Anyone else?
I don't know if this is a Nexus 6 on Verizon, nexus 6 in general, or moto 360 problem.
As I'm reading about this, it seems like this might be not only a Nexus 6 and Moto 360 problem, but an Android Wear/ Lollipop problem. Hopefully if 5.1 comes out soon, it'll fix this.
No issues here since xmas with my 6.
Thanks for the reply. Weird.

This definitely happens to me too. After giving it a command the little circle keeps spinning until it comes back displaying "offline" even though I'm in an area with good reception. Sometimes though it just keeps spinning until I eventually swipe right to dismiss it and try again. Sometimes when trying to get directions from my watch it'll tell me to open Maps on my phone in order to continue.
An issue that persists for me is immediately upon plugging my Nexus 6 into its charger my 360 disconnects. I notice this immediately because the lost phone notification pops up on my watch and it vibrates sporadically. This is an issue that has really puzzled me because I can't tell what it could possibly be related to.
I used to have issues with text notifications not being pushed, but this has stopped happening. From time to time my watch will disconnect from my phone for seemingly no reason, and I'll get a "did you leave your phone?" notification. This happened today even, while I was using my phone. Other times when I walk out of range and then walk back into range it won't automatically reconnect. When this happens I have to open Android Wear, select Disconnect (even though Android wear will display "connecting...) And then Connect, and it'll connect again.
Almost half the time I go to send a text by voice I get the issue the OP mentioned, where the circle keeps spinning and nothing happens, or "offline" is displayed. I would really love a solution to this as sending texts is a core feature of Android Wear, and it totally defeats the purpose of the smart watch if it's supposed to save you from having to pull out your phone.

No issue for me, mine working perfectly but mine is international edition Nexus 6 and running CM 12 ROM.

Thanks for all that input. I definitely see the beginning part as being the problem that I am having.
My 360 and Nexus 6 don't seem to have an issue.
Have you tried updating Google Play Services?

Weird Quirks on my Moto 360

Hey everyone.
So I am the proud new owner of the (admittedly old) Moto 360.
After receiving it yesterday I feverishly connected it to my phone, synced everything and all was going great, and it still is.
One thing that is happening that I can't figure out, though, is this blank Google Now card showing up every hour or so. Besides from the Google logo the card is completely blank, even when swiping up to show more information. Swiping left gives you options like "More from Google" and "Open on Phone".
Does anyone else experience this? For the record my phone is the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 (MT7-TL10 Gold model).
Another quirk is that smart lock does not work, as I have to input my password / scan my fingerprint every time I switch on my device, regardless of whether I'm connected to the watch or not. It isn't really a major inconvenience, as I literally never use the power button or screen for unlocking, as the fingerprint reader is so quick and convenient. This could very well just be a case of Huawei software not playing along (I'm replacing this phone soon purely because of the crappy bastardized Android), however I'm curious to know if anyone else has this problem?
Cheers! :good:

Oneplus3 and smartwatch...no connection!

Hi everyone! yesterday i recived my OnePlus3 and i found problems with the connection with my smartwatch: i have Motorola Moto 260 (second generation) and i can pair with the smartwatch but when i try to connect with android wear the smartwatch is disappeared. when i check the devices on my moto 360 i found my OP3 but is impossible to connect with the device. i tried with my old phone (nexus 5) and the sync is correct without problems; so i tried with another smartwatch and is not possible even with this (in this case my phone not disclose this second smartwatch).
HELP PLEASE.
PS. i don't know if this is the correct section about this thread....
Did you factory reset the watch? I have my lg g watch r paired to my op3 and working perfectly fine with Android wear.

Moto360 2nd gen and OnePlus 3 - no notifications
I have a moto 360 2nd gen which paired perfectly with my Oneplus One. Then I bought the OP3. Now the watch still paired with the OP3 but my notifications have stopped coming through to the watch. Every time I restart the phone, the notifications work fine but in about 2 hours they gradually stop, one app at a time. Changing my watch face to the stock moto watch face also doesn't work. I tried fiddling with app permission and app notification settings but nothing seems to work. What's most puzzling is that google app notifications keep coming through, and before the android community starts trolling me saying its obvious, in the same breath let me say that along with the Google app, the Outlook app also manages to push notifications to my watch with no trouble. And the settings for both these apps is exactly the same as all my other apps.
My take is that the aggressive memory management of the OnePlus 3 could be the reason for this and maybe the only fix for people who dont want to get under the hood of is an OS update with a patch to address this bug.

Facing similar issue on my Op3 with Moto 360 2nd Gen. (I also was with OPO and 360 2nd Gen and now migrated to Op3) I have to manually open Android Wear App to start notifications. Works for some time and then notifications stop coming though watch.
More bug I found that the news apps are also need to be reopened for notifications to start.
It acting like a super dose on the go to save battery.

Opening the Android wear app doesn't help in my case. The app just shows a message saying 'NOTIFICATIONS STOPPED SYNCING' and asks me to restart the phone. This throttling down of active memory to save battery is killing the utility of my smart watch
Issue resolved!!
So after a lot of permutations and combinations, I've figured out a way:
Open the Android wear app
Go to home screen
Fire up the recents menu
Lock the android wear app (using the little lock icon that appears on the top right of the app window in the recents view)
I did this a couple of days ago and my Moto360 2nd gen is a smart watch all over again. No more missing notifications
P. S. I haven't received the Oxygen OS 3.2.1 OTA update yet and hope to stop using my manual hack post the update since the OTA update promises to bring better RAM managent to the OP3 among other tweaks.
