Just got a Note5, and before I wipe my watch I want to see if there was any other way to sync with the new phone?
I connected via Bluetooth but the watch shows it is not connected.

Unfortunately you need to reset the watch to pair it with a new device.

I am having problems keeping the watch connected to my phone. Android Wear will report it's connecting... then disconnect very quickly. It will repeat this cycle over and over. On the watch, it shows a little cloud icon with a slash thru it, pulling up Google Now reports the watch is disconnected.
My phone reports it is paired with the watch via bluetooth and the radio is turned on. I tried changing my wifi access to use my 5G radio instead of 2.4 but that didn't help. No other bluetooth devices are paired with my phone or with my watch. Phone is a Galaxy Note 2 running Android 4.4.2. Any suggestions that I can try?
I have this as well with my GS4.
are you having this issue when the phone is near you or like say across the house from you?
I got my watch yesterday.
Problem occured with out of the box firmware (4.4.4). I manage to reconnect and connect last enough to update to 5.0.2. ANd there I was hoping it will be good. But unfrontunately no. I still have the problem.
I have a galaxy note 4 (N910F) on Lollipop. I reset factory my phone and the watch. I have stil random disconnections. And when disconnected, It is hard to made the watch reconnect. Didn't have any problem with my LH watch R.
Kind of disappointed by the Moto 360 (a colleague with a one plus one and the same watch doesn't have such problems.
Really don't know mess things up.
What a burden to have to reset the watch each time we need to connect to a new mobile / reconnect to the current one.
They should have add an option to connect / disconnect
Hi guys,
i bought the secondhand sony smartwatch 3 today and i have a problem with connection
The phone does'nt detect the watch. when i am running Android Wear app and seek watches, phone doesn't detect my smartwatch.
i trying reset watch. not helped.
Please help.
Did you go through the Android Wear app's pairing process? After a factory reset the watch guides you through the steps on how to pair with your phone. Also check that the watch isn't paired as a regular bluetooth device first (forget the device in bluetooth settings of the phone before trying to setup via android wear)
You definitely need to factory reset the watch in order to begin the correct pairing sequence with your phone, if you haven't already done so.

I am able to find the phone through www.google.com/android/devicemanager, however when i try from the watch it just say "could't ring your phone." Any help? TIA.
And if you disconnect the watch the phone rings?
I just tried and it works fine. S7 while connected with watch and "mute notifications and calls" enabled. The phone rings fine.

The ring I am talking abotu is when you use locate phone feature. If I do it from a pc through android.com site, then it works fine, however if I di "find phone" from my watch, it says "can't ring your phone."
The watch is still connected via Bluetooth with the phone?
I tried it and the function works fine here too.
And it works via cloud too. Disabled bt on the phone. Watch is connected via wlan and the command goes through the cloud, phone still rings.

Yeah. I tried with BT on and off. and it just does not do it. damn.
As the title states, my phone will not connect to both devices simultaneously. If I connect one, the other one will disconnect immediately. I don't remember having this issue with previous phones. Any ideas on what is the issue and how to fix it?

Sorry, not sure what to say here. My S3 connects perfectly, and stays connected when another Bluetooth device connects to the phone. Do you mean, it's actually no longer connected or paired? My phone shows 'connected' to only my car for example but not the S3. However, it IS still connected to the watch. I still get notifications and such. You may try unpairing it, otherwise resetting the watch. Sorry I'm not much help here.

Maybe you're right and I'm just overreacting. I was going off of what the phone said. It says connected to one device, but does not say connected under the other. Maybe the watch is still connected and I just need to chill out. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for grounding me.
My 6P on Oreo has no trouble staying connected to my car ('17 Durango) and my Gear S3 at the same time. Works flawlessly. Now, if my P2XL would actually ship I'd be able to confirm whether that hardware combo works as well...

I thought the same thing the first time I connected my phone to my car. I even rebooted my phone. When I did, my watch buzzed that it had been disconnected, which I forgot it does when the connection is lost. It wasn't doing that when connecting to my car. I also confirmed when I received a text and my wrist buzzed. Should be all good!
i recently switch phones from my Honor View10 to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G. The former phone is where i used to use and the first phone my Galaxy Watch ever paired with. However, when trying to set it up on my new phone (the Mi 10 Pro 5G), it just won't connect at all. i did went to the Watch's settings and select the "Connect to a new phone" option that wipes the data on the Watch. i tried several walk through i could ever see and think of, but to no avail. Here are what i have tried aside from the settings part:
- Manually pair the Watch via the Phone's Bluetooth - apparently the Watch did manage to pair, but just won't stay connected, it automatically disconnects immediately after connecting (see attached pic)
- Allowed all the Wear App and the Galaxy Watch Plugin's permissions on the Phone
- Factory Reset the Watch via the Recovery option
- Reflashed the Watch's firmware via this thread and sourced the missing firmware files from this thread
the Watch remains stuck on the "Check your phone to complete setup" screen for several days now, and i'm starting to get frustrated over this. Before reflashing the firmware, i tried to reconnect the watch to my old Honor View10 phone, and it no longer connects there too! same issue with Bluetooth connection dropping as soon as it connects.
help is very much appreciated.
