[Q] Can't connect with my Galaxy S6 - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hey guys,
I've got my new Galaxy S6 (not the edge version) last weekend.
I've tried to connect the SmartWatch3 with my phone via Bluetooth.
My phone says that the pairng works but the Android Wear App can't find my watch...
Pairing on / off
Reconnect
Reboot
And so on....
Nothing works
Has someone any ideas? :/
Thx!!

Thanks!
ok but then I'll lose all my files on the SW3 (music, apps etc...)?

Yes, Factory Reset is the only way to pair with a new phone and yes, it formats userdata partition so you will lose everything on the watch.
You can always pull the data that you care about using adb.

Yes, no matter what when you flash a new rom or get a new phone you always have to reset the watch. I have the S6 edge also and it pairs fine.

Trouble making calls

Hi. I just upgraded my phone and my wife's phone to official T-mobile 4.3. I rooted my phone using No Tripping Flash counter image. Everything works fine until phone looses the signal and after that I need to reboot phone to make calls, if I don't reboot it just ending calls immediately after I dial. My wife is having same issue with her phone. Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

What is your Current Baseband ? Can you try after factory reset ?
I am ok with doing factory reset on my phone since it is rooted and I have Titanium Back up but my wife won't agree to it.
See if after Factory Reset AND without restoring Titanium, are you able to make calls just fine ? If yes we'll find ways for your wife.
EDIT - Try My Backup Pro for your wife in the absence of Root.

It is same IMEI behind battery and in the settings. I think problem is phone loosing the signal and can't automatically find it. Sometimes instead of restarting it I put my phone in airplane mode and take it off so I push it to find signal.

What was the result afterwards ? If it still continues, please raise a Warranty issue with T-Mo.

It doesn't happen to me all the time but when it does it is annoying.
Just to add to this, I am getting this randomly as well, and I am bone stock. I thought it was something to do with my new car since I use Bluetooth all the time now, but every now and then, I go to make a call, and it just ends the call immediately. The only resolution is to reboot the phone.

It probably is related to Bluetooth given the 2 antenna are so close. But it could be the new 4.3 Stock Rom too. After Reboot do you consistently get good signal till you use Bluetooth ?

Nope, phone is perfectly fine otherwise. I decided to see what T-Mobile support would suggest. They first wanted me to try and clear data/cache on just the Dialer app, however those options weren't available, so she took me to stock recovery and performed a cache wipe. Since the problem is sporadic, there is little else to do except to wait and see if the problem returns. They claimed this is a memory problem in the dialer app though, so I am not sure if that was a s.w.a.g. (sophisticated wild ass guess), or if it has been reported enough times for T-Mobile to actually seek out information from Samsung.

5.1.1 OTA now available

https://plus.google.com/+WaynePiekarski/posts/2unJBySoqn2
Just to let you all know, the latest version of Android Wear is going to start rolling out via an over-the-air (OTA) update to the Moto 360 today! OTA rollouts are always done over a period of many days, so it will take some time to receive your update. For more details about what is contained in this update, please see my previous blog post:

OTA link or your post is useless thanks
I just got the update too iOS 9.1 turned my 360 into the Iwatch since whenever everybody asks about it " Is that the new apple watch?" No dumbA$$ apple is not the only one that makes smartwatches and phones.
No worries cause I bet my my bottom dollar some joker will no doubt start a new thread about the horrible battery on 5.1.1.
I'm sorry, how do I clean the wear app to try to start the process??
Installed the update, Wi-Fi works with no issues, flick gestures are nice, navigation still smooth, entering settings takes a while, battery seems fine.

Is the VPN part necessary? Thats the only thing I didn't do (because I don't know what it means) and I can't get mine to show the update.
So what's the trick to force an update. . . . Just let a wipe and then reload or what. Never had to force an update before.

-Reset watch
-While watch resets, unpair the watch through BT settings
-Uninstall AW app
-Reinstall AW app
Voila. There's different variations of this, which work for some, and don't for others. Worked for me twice on the 1st day of rollout both times, so the naysayers can keep to themselves.

Google now cards not shown, even after wipe

Hello,
I´ve a problem with my lovely smartwatch 3 - google now cards are not shown, even after a reset of the watch. I´m not sure but can the "problem" be the latest google app update on smartphone? I´ve done a wipe for 2 times but nothing changes. Google App is running version 5.11.27.19, latest one afaik.
Greetings,
SirRobin78
The same thing has happened to me as well since around 4 days ago.
I've tried re-installing the firmware via PC Companion, but that didn't help, so I tried pairing with another phone and it still doesn't work. I'm not sure where the problem is.
Did you try to reinstall the android wear app on your phone and enable notifications? That is all I can think of.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I've already tried that as well and no joy. :crying:
The strange thing is that I get some Google cards, such as traffic time to home, etc. but I'm not getting the weather and stock info that I used to get all the time. (The cards do appear on my phone without issues.)
I´ve been having this "problem" ever since my phone updated to android 6.... I´m starting to think it might have something to do with that...

I've tested the watch on two phones, one is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SC-04E variant) running 5.0.1 and the other is a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (SO-02G variant) running 5.0.2. so I don't think the problem is related to Android OS version.
Hopefully, the upcoming Android Wear firmware update will fix the issue.
N.B. Both phones are running stock firmware with no root.
My watch just showed me de card with stocks and weather.... But just as a regular notification card, no swiping left...

AW 2.0 - Google assistant and playstore not working through bluetooth, only with wifi

So after hours of trying to update I finally managed to but now this really bugs me. I can't use google assistant or the store throu my phones 4G, it only works if I turn on the wifi on the watch, and I can't really count on this. Have anyone had this issue and solved it?
EDIT: I just tried using google maps on my watch and there is no map. It seems like if there is no wifi no application will ever user the phones internet through bluetooth
EDIT: It seems to be working fine after factory reset.
Note to self: Always do factory reset after major update XD

1. give manually all authorizations to Wear App and try if it works...
2.Remove your watch from Wear app on the phone, delete data/cache
of Wear APP, then reset your watch and pair again.
Pay attention to give all authorizations to wear app when requested...
It should work...

I have the same problem with my Huawei Watch classic (wear 2.0) and my xiaomi redmi 4 prime. The watch can't access internet over bluetooth connection of the phone: notifications are ok but no google voice commands and no playstore browse application (no network available).
If I switch on wifi on watch everything works well.
The issue appears after some hours from latest phone restart (before it works well).
I did a factory reset on watch (not in phone...)

Same for me bluetooth in watch apears disconect, but notifications are ok
I have noticed that when phone is connected to my home wifi watch cannot reach internet over bluetooth. As soon as I turn off wifi on phone so it connects to internet over mobile network internet works from watch over bluetooth as well. No idea why. Thought maybe it is my router but try it out and see if this is the case for you as well.

I get the following:
Watch - bluetooth,
Phone - wifi
= No Google store/Google assistant​
Watch - bluetooth
Phone - mobile data
= Google store/Google assistant​
Watch - wifi
Phone - n/a

This was good info, but doesn't work for me. I have Hauwei watch that was working fine with my iPhone 6, then I upgraded to the iPhone 8 plus and am having problems of BT connecting and no GA or play store. Today BT has been stable, and GA works fine, but still no Play Store. It just clocks and then times out, no matter what BT or wifi settings I use. How can the watch work fine, but not access Play store?
Well in case someone has a Huawei phone like I have and was having the issues here, in my case it was due to the stay connected option within Android Wear that was FCing with my stock ROMs. Had to move to CM13 to finally get that working.
Interesting that it was the same with Android Wear 1.5 yet my watch never lost connection until I move to 2.0
Anyways...seems like 2.0 is a lot more picking about this and yes it was weird that I could get all notfications from my phone BUT couldnt get internet access to Ok Google, the store, etc.

Note 3 USB / Android Auto fail.

Hey guys and gals,
I have tried multiple ROMs now, and am having the same problem with all of them. Whenever I connect my Note 3 to my car, I get a "This device does not support media function" error that I do not get with a stock ROM.
After a weeks worth of trial and error, the only thing I can come up with are USB incompatibility, or DRM? I have tried all the rom provided usb modes, with and without debugging enabled, still no luck. Anyone know a fix?
Using my wifes phone, I was able to confirm that the stock head unit works perfectly, so the issue is definitely with my phone/roms.
Currently running Phoresis v7 (which I love).
Here is a pic of said error
I fixed this the hard way :crying:

I almost want to buy another phone to keep in the car and just network it to my hacked one...

I'm not exactly sure what my problem was but I updated my phone via ODIN since I was on a beta software, reinstalled the AA app, removed my car from the settings in the app (reinstalling didn't delete it) and also toggle the setting for AA on my car's headunit and then it finally worked
