I have had my SW3 for some time now. I use it mainly to run with so I don't have to bring my phone (galaxy s4). I have had music on the watch for months. Recently I was having an issue with the watch dropping connection with the phone. I did a factory reset on the watch and everything seemed fine. My notifications are working and it is not dropping connection anymore. However, when I go to the Play Music app to reload my music, the watch says the Phone is disconnected. I went to the Google Play Music app on my phone and checked to make the download to Android wear box is checked. Check and recheck but the watch still says the same. I have deleted and reinstalled Android Wear on my phone several times as well as done a factory reset on my watch multiple times. Occasionally the watch will say that Google Play Services is required but I checked and they are on my phone. What else can be done? I am extremely miffed because running without my phone is the main reason I got the SW3.

I've had the moto 360 since launch. It is connected to my Rooted HTC m8. I've never had any problems at all with notifications coming but something wear must have happened yesterday. It got stuck on a text message reply using 8sms and now no notifications are going through. I've reset the watch, tried disconnecting, connecting. It connects perfectly, all my apps are there, wear mini launcher, wear messenger, all are there. But if I try getting notifications it doesn't work and and when I test pandora or spotify, it knew a music player app was running, but only the play button would show up and none of the buttons pressed performed any action.
fyi i've never altered the moto 360 in any way.
My next steps:
Delete the android wear app.
Completely unpair and forget the bluetooth connection
Reset moto 360
redownload android wear
test
rinse and repeat

My steps did the trick. That was odd. I think the key was deleting android wear app and the original bluetooth connection
I recently bought one of the unlocked fire phones and added google play, all the services, etc. to it and so far everything has worked fine. i tried to launch the music app today for the first time and it wont open. the phone does not respond at all when i touch the music app icon, so i download prime music app and tried it but it crashes right after launching. this is the only problem i have experienced so far and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or knows how to fix this problem. thanks!
I also just recently bought one of the unlocked phones and had a similar problem. The first night I got the phone I transferred a bunch of media from my old phone including my music and was able to use both the music app and Prime music app. Then the next day both apps went dead. I tried all the usual stuff like clearing data and cache, reinstall prime etc. but nothing worked. Unfortunately I had to resort to a factory reset on the phone to fix it. Ever since then (around two weeks) they have been working fine.
My only complaint is for some reason the default music app doesn't show album covers for some of my music while they all show in Prime music.
I know why the music apps stopped working now! After adding the Google Play Store there is an update offered for Amazon Prime music. This update will kill Prime and the regular music app on the phone. I just installed the update a little bit ago by accident and sure enough both apps went dead. Went back to the play store and my apps and clicked uninstall on Prime Music and it uninstalled the update and now both are working again.
Same happened to me. Just make sure to disable auto-updating within google play store to prevent it from happening again.
what version of the app does work? can someone link this app to me ?
My watch was on:
Android Wear version - 1.3.0.2166028
Play Services = 7.8.99
Android OS = 5.1.1
As you can see it was stuck on the old version of Google play services for some reason 7.8.99 for some reason. This is a software glitch that my watch had but my girls moto 360 was just fine.
My watch would glitch out and crash many times a day.
It is the newest update to the android wear app that does not like google play services 7.8.99. Nothing i did could force an update so i had to revert to an earlier version of android wear app and the watch worked just fine.
What finally fixed my watch was the update to 6.0.1 that happened for my watch last night. These are the steps to take to make it happen smoothly.
1: With the newest version of android wear on the phone do a factory reset to your watch.
2: Place the watch on the charger and go through watch setup.
3: Once done syncing take the watch off the charger and connect it to your home wifi. Then go into setting and check for an update.
If no update repeat steps 1-3
4: If the update starts downloading go into the android wear app and disconnect the watch. Turn off bluetooth as well just incase.
(This is because it is the app itself that causes the phone to crash. The watch will then hook up to wifi and finish the download...it will also be faster)
5: Put watch on charger wait a while and the download should be ready. Make sure it is over 80% and start update. I recommend keeping it on the charger.
After its done you should be all good to go. All versions should be up to date. Mine is running great!
Hope this helps everyone!
Doesn't work for me. Tried three times.
I have a different one here, all good but for the android wear app keep crashing while scrolling down in 'watch storage' after the 6.0.1 update.
Factory reset watch, cleaning app cache didn't help.

forget and reset watch. leave the watch on the charger and let it sync everything. it can take a very long time. i recommend doing it while you sleep. just let it sit and it should be fine
No, still doesn't see it.

Has anyone had this issue or no what to do?
I reset my watch and started from scratch, all the apps I used before where still installed on my phone.
When it paired it installed most of them, however there are a few it hasn't added like Strava, ghost racer.
I've rebooted both the phone and wattch and clicked resume apps although nothing seems to have happened so far.
Anyone got any suggestions?
I had this issue (with ghost racer application)
- I reseted again the watch
- then connected it to android wear on my phone
- then synced the application in android wear
and the missing apps were back.
I was running my galaxy watch on my pixel 3xl, Android R dp1 with just some lag. Today my phone updated to dp2. It seemed as if the lag on the watch went away. Anyways, I did a factory reset on my phone and now my watch won't finish pairing. It goes thru the process where it says that it paired and to approve the permissions. But then I get a lovely pop-up that says "companion device manager keeps stopping". The watch just says to check phone to complete setup, meanwhile the wear app just goes in a loop of pairing, asking for permissions, going to the settings, then companion app stopping. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried resetting the watch and I can't find anything on Google or xda. Thank you in advance.
