Hi All,

I already have a LG G2 (D802) running Lollipop :

With Render Kernel :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/kernel-render-kernel-aosp-lg-roms-t2803929
I have update the SW3 to official 5.0.1 with PC Companion.
Then install Android Wear from the market on the phone :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app&hl=fr
I had "Sleep as Android" app already installed on the phone before get the watch.
I have connect the watch to the phone then I have try to install different apps as :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearbrowser
Without problem, the apps appear on the watch., "Sleep as Android" too.
But now, I can't success to install any other apps. I have try :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rocketstartups.wearcalculator
Or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.hoomi.athere
But the apps doesn't appear on the watch, I don't understand how to sync the phone and the watch.
I guess I'm too new and there is something that I haven't understand.
Please someone drive me !
Thank you in advance.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Android Wear is the only "must have" app to manage the watch ?
No need Smart Connect or LiveWear ?...
Open android wear on phone click on the settings gear and click on resync apps
Hello,
Thank you but That doesn't help...
What app do you use to sync the watch?

Android wear is a "must-have" app. And you need also "Google" search app to make sure android wear runs well. (for "ok google" function certainly.)
Did you try to "forget watch device" in android wear and repair it ?
Maybe a factory reset will help, but it is the last option.
Thank you for your reply.
I have disable the location to save battery and the sync have work...
I don't understand!
But now, all work as it should.
Hi,
I'm an expert on SmartWatch 3 and have met with a programmer from the Google team. You require 2 things to fully install apps on your watch, which take max 60 minutes to sync to your watch 100%
1. The first requirement to make sure apps install 100% is a WiFi router network which your phone is connected to, and your SmartWatch 3 is within range of the
area of the router.
2. Your Smartwatch 3 and your Android phone on charge during about 1 hour. The apps sync fast while the battery is being charged, and sync slower if not plugged in.
Do these two things, and the apps will install over WiFi directly from your phone to the watch through WiFi settings of the router.
I just lived in Philippines for 1 month, bought a new Sony phone there and tried installing my Smartwatch 3 over mobil data connection to the phone without a router and not a single app synced. 1 week later ONE app synced. I came home to my country of Sweden with my router and did the same thing with a reset of the watch, and all apps synced in about 45 minutes.

Has anyone else had connectivity issue since the 5.0.2 update?
My 360 will just randomly unpairs.
Same here.
I tried unpairing the bluetooth connection & re-pairing, with no positive effect.
A reset on the Moto360 didn't help either.
Same issues
I have a note 3, and was working good after the update, but today the voice function didn't work or any other function like calendar, messages, etc. The wear app won't even connect but the moto app does change face and locate watch... I unpaired and reset watch to no avail now I have a regular watch
I haven't had any unpairing but I have had my 360 lose contact with my 2014 Moto X even though they are within a few feet. This is easy to see because I use smartlock and my phone will want the pin instead of auto unlocking as it should with a trusted device.

Same issue. :crying:
Had an issue pairing right after the update. Did a reset on the watch, paired as normal and good so far (knocks on wood...)
Problems disappeared after I updated the Android Wear App to 1.0.5.1724356 and Google Play Services to 6.7.76 (1745988-438)

Thanks for these info.
I have Android Wear App 1.0.5.1630507 on Galaxy Nexus Cyanogen Mod 11. How to retrieve version you mention ?
I managed to get my Zenwatch set up for the first time with my Galaxy S4 (running Lollipop 5.0.1) yesterday, but following an OTA update on the watch (to 5.1.1) the battery life seemed awful (about 8 hours), so I tried a factory reset of the watch. Since then I have struggled to get the phone to re-connect to the watch.
I've tried another factory reset of the watch, and un-installing the Android Wear and Asus Zenwatch Manager apps from my phone, but the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch - it just hangs at "Connecting..."
I did manage to manually pair with the watch using Bluetooth Settings on the phone, and this got the Android Wear app connected, but I was still unable to connect the Asus Zenwatch Manager app to the watch, and the clock on the watch was showing 1 hour behind (my local time is BST), and I wasn't receiving any notifications on the watch.
So I factory reset the watch again, uninstalled and re-installed Android Wear on the phone, and I'm back to the situation where the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch.
Any ideas??
I occasionally have that problem, reboot the phone and watch and all is well again.

Unfortunately a phone reboot didn't do it for me. I found that "forgetting" the watch from the Android Wear app, then a factory reset of the watch, got me reconnected to the Android Wear app, but I still couldn't get the Asus Zenwatch Manager to connect to the watch.
Re update again, i find it update are downloaded in the watch and waiting for us to execute, just go to setting on your watch and choose about, then software update. there must be and update waiting and you can just touch update... it works with me... just make sure you check software update regularly if this problem happens. it just need to most update android wear to be installed and will connect with the latest zenwatch manager
hope this help
Hi!
Someone tried to connect SW3, or another smartwatch with android wear OS, with an blackberry phone?!
I would like to return at BB, but at the same time i don't want to lose my Sony SW3.
Thanks!
P.s. I am sorry for my English! :crying:
If this is a relatively new BlackBerry, I think someone got android apps to run on the OS. I would start by trying to sideload the wear app.
Edit: here is a link.
https://supportforums.blackberry.c...want-to-run-Android-Apps-on-Your/td-p/2784957
I searched and i found that , for now, problem is that google play service isn't supported by BB os, so Android wear not work...
Yeah, I was worried about that. I do not know much about BlackBerry, but on locked devices, people have found a way to add Google play services, but it is a pain. What would be more likely is either a native port, or android port of the Apple apps. That is much more doable. Does your phone support bluetooth low energy? If not, it won't happen at all. Sorry.

I have a Blackberry Passport and a SW3, and while the Passport can pair with the watch, I haven't been able to get the Android Wear app to run on the phone (requires Google Play Services). Keep in mind, I haven't spent much time trying - user Cobalt on Crackberry has a patch that might work (http://forums.crackberry.com/androi...lts-official-google-apps-landing-page-965257/)
As a workaround, I leave an old Android phone sitting at home on Wifi and the watch is able to connect to Wifi hotspots and get notifications. Doesn't work with calls or texts, but I am happy enough to keep the watch.

Thanks for reply but i search a method to connect the wear directly to the phone, even if I lose some functions like google voice, wifi or many other that for me aren't important.
I want that wear shows calls, sms, mail, tabs of runtastic or endomondo and so on.

Hi spoky27, would you kindly tell me the method you found to connect the wear directly to the blackberry?
I appreciate it even with some limitation.
Thank you.
After the 2.0 update on my Huawei Watch, I had some problems with connectivity so I reset my watch. Now my Phone (Huawei Nexus 6P) can not pair with the phone. The Watch does not show up in Android Wear and my Bluetooth connections. So far I have reset my phone and watch but made zero progress. Anybody else that has encountered this problem?
Same exact situation here, i just got the watch from the B&HPhoto open box deal, paired and worked perfectly with my Nexus 6P. Updated to wear 2.0 and no matter what i try my Google account won't sync. WiFi, Bluetooth connected fine but Google account connection just sits and spins. I kind of like 2.0 better, seems smoother, and don't wanna have to roll back. Any help would be greatly appreciated¡
I had the same problem when updated to AW 2.0.
At the end I had to restore the smartwatch to factory settings a couple of times, and finally the Android wear app was able to find my watch...
Finally got my Google account to sync. All i had to do was clear the data and cache in the apps Google, Google play services, Play store, and Android Wear then reset the watch...... Four or five times. Something the average consumer would think of doing, lol. Get your chit together and fix this Google!!!
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't know if there is a topic similar with my issue but my smartwatch sony 3 can't connect with the internet and with the android wear app. Yesterday it was working well with my android tablet, but then I pair with another android smartphone and I can't connect it again with my tablet. It says on the smartwatch that is connected but then it shows "Just a minute..." and on the android tablet "checking for updates... this may take a few minutes". After a few minutes it shows on the smartwatch "can't connect to the android wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips."
I have done the downgrade of the smartwatch to LWX48P version because I want to update to LCA43 to use NFC with freestyle libre because I am diabetic. Please help me, and thank you so much for your patience.
Best regards from Portugal,
Catarina
Greetings. Perhaps the problem you are having is the switch. Your watch can only be connected to one host device (phone/tablet) at a time. In order to switch you need to disconnect it from the device and set it up as a new device on the new one. This will trigger a wipe (at least of /data). There may be an app to make the switch easier, but I am not sure.
Good luck.

Just a hunch, but you probably need to disconnect it from Android Wear on both devices, then remove Bluetooth pair from both devices in Bluetooth settings, then reset the watch to factory settings, then start with a clean slate.
But previous poster is correct, you cannot pair it with 2 devices, which is really annoying, so pick one device only, and you can't switch from one to the other, and then back again.

Thank you so much for your reply! It works if the smartwatch has the latest version ! But the main question is that with the LWX48P version I can't connect with my tablet. But I need to update to LCA43, and without internet I can't do it. I searched for a OTA version of LWX48P to LWX49K to LDZ22D and finally to LCA43 to make the upgrade manually but I can't find it. Can you help me please? Thank you!
