old apps not clearing

Does anyone know where the android wear apps live on the phone?
I have apps that i have deleted from gs5 that are still somehow syncing to my moto360. I've reset the 360, and they go away for a bit, but then they come back.
If i reset my watch and connect to my nexus 5, they don't come back. This is preventing me from getting the new watch faces from moto connect, and from removing apps i no longer want. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both moto connect and the android wear app in all permutations. I'm at a loss now for what to do.
I don't want to reset my gs5 (since it's my work phone and a pain to set up).
Thanks for any help!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Why they don't make this information more publicly available baffles me.
You've just saved me from restoring my phone!

Glad it worked out! Another handy tip, if your watch ever *locks up* press the button and hold it down for 30 seconds. Hopefully they will get the different apps playing nice with each other soon. :fingers-crossed:

Thankfully i've never had the lock up. The old apps thing was driving me mad. I had a wear app called beelink installed that i later removed. I had tried everything to remove it, but it just wouldn't go away! I even through the watch into dev mode, adb shelled in, uninstalled it manually, and searched everywhere i could to find how it kept coming back. With the steps in the link, the one that finally worked was the clearing all data for google play services.

Try again on your phone

My watch or phone has suddenly decide it will not message or make calls, my phone is a Galaxy S4, I have not installed anything on either device to change the status quo and yet every call or message request is answered by try again on your phone , the phone itself works fine, I have restarted both devices, any ideas?

You could try unpairing then repairing the watch from both devices . if not reset

Tried that after I posted, reset watch, but not phone, resetting the phone would be a last resort. I'm going to try it with another device Tomorrow so I can identify which device is the problem.

Same problem here
I have Nexus 4 with KitKat and Moto 360 with 5.0.1 and have the same problem. It started today. Tried clock reset android wear and Google Now reinstall, none of which helped.

I don't know if this is any help but on mine if I restart the phone I found I could text again from the watch, I would try to initiate a call and then I would get the error again, back to send a text and same problem.....BUT....if I restart the phone and only use the watch to send texts then it's fine, not a full fix I know but I'm hoping the update from 4.4.2 will fix it, just odd that it started overnight, everything was fine Friday??

Also, it won't register on my watch when a call is incoming on the phone.

Same issue here, though I am trying to use the "Note to self" feature: moto360 with a droid turbo, no lollipop yet.
Doesn't work even after a phone reboot, nor after getting Google Now setup. Anyone make progress on this?

Just got my 360, linked to an Oppo Find 7 (4.3). Having a lot of these "try again on your phone errors". Couple times it has worked, but often it doesnt.
Does the error signify a bluetooth link error or what?

Not Moto 360 but LG W Watch R...
.. with the same issue from today so this might no be a Moto Issue.
I took a screen shot of the watch, see attachment
The phone and watch are connected according to the companion and I do get notifications and cards on the watch
I've reset the watch an repaired, didn't work.
Restarted he phone as suggested by majreaper, didn't work
Phone: Xperia Z2, Android 4.4.4
Lg Watch R: Wear 5.0.1

My issue is solved
I have solved by downgrading Google Now app to version 3.6. Now I can initiate call and send texts from Moto 360 5.0.1 again. Using it with Nexus 4 KitKat 4.4.4.
What I did:
1. Go to setting > appplications > all
2. Find Google app
3. Uninstall updates
4. Get 3.6 version apk from apkmirror. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-3-6-16-1614640-arm-apk/
5. Install it.
You might want to disable autoupdates for Google app for now. It can be done in Play Market.

That fixed it for me, thanks samfromlv!

The above works for me at least.
I just tried the above suggestion and un-installed the google app update although I didn't install the link shown. I just downloaded the latest from the play store (as an update) and it solved the issues I was having (again at least for now). So worth a shot for anyone having this issue. Was tearing my hair out over this

Won't stay connected

Just got this watch. I had the Moto 360 before, it worked fine.
This doesn't want to stay connected. I have to reset the watch, uninstall Android Wear and re-install it, then it'll connect once. After that, it disconnects and won't connect again. So notifications, syncing, weather, etc don't work.
Looking at my phone in Android Wear it just says Connecting.... on the watch, it says disconnected. Going into Bluetooth settings doesn't do a damn thing either.

Try Bluetooth Auto Connect from Playstore, it´s working for me on a Note3 with Omega Rom

Thanks for the reply. I managed to sort it out... I missed the step to click "trust device" during the initial set up. I didn't realize that was a necessary step for the watch to stay connected. You'd think it'd just do it automatically.

I don´t know, if it´s automatic, but i have the function with klicking on "trust device", no change, only the "Blutetoot Auto Connect" app is working.

This piece of crap is doing it again. Once its been disconnected, it won't connect again without complelety startinh over and resetting everything.
I'll check out that app.
You know, people can bash apple all they want, but at least their **** actually works properly.

Hasn't happened in a while, but if mine won't connect I just go to the android wear app and disconnect the Zenwatch then connect again. Works every time...

Tried that, many times.. never works. That app doesn't work either.

Well this is a serious problem I've had the watch for about six weeks now it took awhile to get initial set up to begin with I was at the point to return it on the first day , then I don't know how but it just paired and started working fine , I was very happy until today turned the watch on it wasn't paired and I've literally been trying for hours to get this chit to connect with no luck I've reset it ,tried the app mentioned above no luck at this point I give up I bough it at best buy but I'm past the return period I'm going to try and find some customer service rep ,at this point I give up trying to get the watch to work,if anyone knows of a customer service phone number I would greatly appreciate it , or if anyone here has any helpful information , ,I'm pretty tech wavy. But I surrender at this point what a shame I really liked the watch but the aggravation factor is to much ,sorry for the.long rant but there's no where else to vent or look for help maybe together as a group we can find some answers again any help would be greatly appreciated......

did you forget the watch in your phones Bluetooth settings?

Thank's for replying but yes I've tried everything under the sun , just got home from work , going to see if I can't find a customer service number , if I can't get it resolved by the weekend I might as well throw 200$ in the Trash because That's where it's Going ....................:crying:

Go to settings / apps on your phone. Find google play services under running apps. See if device connection service is running. If not try rebooting your phone then the watch in that order and try to pair. You could also check if there is an update for play services and update if there is.

Same issue here, boxing up my ZenWatch and bringing it back to Best Buy today. Still within the 15 days. I really like the watch but these random disconnects are a killer. Most of the time it auto-reconnects but every now and then I have to reboot everything--which is kinda ridiculous if I'm out running.
At least I'll have a different watch with everything else the same for comparison sake and report back.

Have you tried uninstalling zenwatch manager? Mine started disconnecting after the last update, and uninstalling seems to have fixed my issue

I had the same problem I think the update from google services broke it.
unpair the watch from your phone then factory reset the watch and this is IMPORTANT pair your watch using "android wear" NOT the Bluetooth from the system phone
after I paired my watch using Android Wear now the watch stay connected and reconnect normally

After half a day working this seems to be the solution, thanks. :good:

Bad luck: two days later same problem persists (frequently disconnecting)

I am getting pretty tired of my Zenwatch not staying connected either. $200 is a lot of money for a watch that doesn't work right. It's had three or four updates since I bought it and it still sucks, should have sent it back the first week.
The Google nag to enable Google Now in the Android Wear screen is also a sore spot with me, if I wanted it enabled it would be enabled.
This whole "wearables" thing seems to be a poorly executed fad more than anything else, one that I'll be avoiding from here on out.

why would you have a watch that relies so heavily on google now and not enable it? connection has been just fine for me no several phones and software versions since I got it in January

Same here. I mean, it has disconnected maybe 3 times since I got it in November, but it hasn't been a big issue. Toggling BT on the phone reconnected it. I also agree with you about Google Now. It's central to how Wear works. Using a Wear device without Now would be like buying a car and trying to drive it without starting the engine.

You don't need Google now to benefit from owning this watch.
1. I like the ability to change watch faces and create my own with Watchmaker.
2. I can answer or dismiss a call from the watch.
3. Text and email notifications.
That's all I care about, anything else is an unnecessary distraction.

Apps not installing on watch

Hi All
Hoping someone can help.
I recently had to reset my phone and watch. I also had an update on the Galaxy Note 8 recently so not sure which of these is the issue.
Ever since then I can no longer get "some" apps on my watch. Apps like authenticator plus and London Live bus countdown are no longer in the list of apps to install in the Wear Play store icon.
Anyone come across something like this before? Has the Note 8 update screwed this up?
Many thanks in advance

Locus Map Add-On for Gear Watch

Good morning all
Is there anyone in the community who uses the Locus Map add-on on their Samsung watch?
I installed it on my Galaxy Watch, but I have a issue, the add-on can't connect with the Locus app on my S10e....
I already tried to clear cache & data from "Samsung accessories service" app as suggested by the Locus support, but it doesn't solve my problem...
Any advice is welcome...
Cheers

There are two add-ons. One is for the free Locus, second is for the paid one. Do you have the correct version?

Yes, i have the pro version (i bought the one for the smartphone)

It may sound stupid, but have you tried to restart your Watch? I had a similar problem. Locus on my GW was disconnecting after a few minutes. A restart solved it for me.

Yes, i have restarted both device, watch and phone.... and to be sure, I made a factory reset on the watch, uninstalled locus from the phone (after cleared cache & data) and made a fresh install of locus Pro on both devices.... but the issue was not solved...
Edit:
I wrote to the Locus team and they answered that we are two having this issue and that they don't have gear developer recently.... maybe they will remove the gear add-on from the Galaxy Store

Thanks for the update! That's bad news. Locus add-on hasn't been updated for ages... According to your signature, you have a device with Android 10. I'm on Pie, where is pairing working fine - at least for me. Do you have a second device with Pie? Sorry I couldn't help.

thanks for trying!
My other device is a Huawei P30 pro but he's also running under Android Q.
I have an old one, a galaxy S7 under Oreo (if I remember well), but I don't want use it, I have it in my son...
And a galaxy watch can only be pairing with one device.... it means that every time I want use locus on my watch, I should factory reset my watch ...
That's can't be a a long-term solution....
Anyway, thanks again for trying

Hi!
Today, I received an OTA update of the Galaxy Wearable application and it seems that Locus work again on the galaxy watch.
I'll test it soon and give you feedback about....
Edit:
I did two mountain bike trips of 30 and 25km and it worked wonderfully
So, I'll continue to use it ans let you know if something is wrong....
