This is happened to me several times now. I will notice that my Moto 360 has shutdown by itself. If I tried to turn it back on then then my watch will start the boot process but then shutdown in the middle of the boot process. The only way to turn it back on is to put it on the charger. While on the charger, the watch boots up fine and there is still plenty of battery remaining. Any one know how to fix this? I have already done a factory reset.
I have a similar issue, if I ask my watch to reboot it will often shut down and not restart, I then can not get it to start with the side button, I need to place it on the charger to get it to boot up, also a couple of days ago I put my watch on the charger to give it a little boost as I was going out after work, It charged an extra 10 % but was only at about 46%, so I decided to put it in theatre mode to save power while I was travelling to the meet up, about an hour later I found it would not wake up and my phone said it was disconnected, when I got home 5 hours later and put it on the charger the battery was completley dead, sat for about 15/20 mins before it auto booted.

I'm having the exact same issue, screen isn't responding and won't switch off, despite how long I hold in the power button.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Same here. Someone can help?
Ok, mine eventually died.
Whatever happened was draining the battery as the watch was warm the whole time (instead of my normal 2-3 days, it died in around 4-5 hours).
Plus point is that after plugging it in to charge, it switched back on and is currently working fine, it's sitting on my desk charging now. However am more than a little concerned about this happening again.
I've had same issue twice - first time when installing TWRP recovery (understandable ) and today having a lot of saves to watch creating a watch face. Both times reacting like,

I think there is a memory leak in software.
I've had a major issue where the watch turns off local Bluetooth after getting hot. The only way to turn Bluetooth on again is to turn the watch off and then charge to 100%, last turn on again and then reconnect.
This started after the 5.0.1 Update.

The same issue
Hi!
I have the same issue. Sony SW 3 is connected to Sony Xperia Z Ultra. This issue is the second one, the first time I managed to reset SSW 3 by long pressing (about 10-20 seconds) the button on the watch.
I've got the same problem but screen is off. I cannot wake it (or turn it ON). I was charging it, it was turned off, after 30 mins of changing it vibrate, I unplugged it and now it seems dead. What can I do? t
Try long press the power button?

yes i do. Probably solved the problem. I don't know why but, also if in charge, my watch reached 0% on battery, so it wasn't unable to load up. This morning tried to turn it on (yesterday it woke up for 2 sec, after it died, plugging in into charge was a waste of time) , and in the few second it turned on (in the bootlogo), i put it into charge. Now seems to work but that's quite strange because yesterday i put it on charge when it was about 10%
My SW3 hanged again this morning, i charge it overnight and when i unplugged the charger, it hanged.
as usually, nothing can reset the watch until it burn out the battery. it really annoying and i hope google or sony will fix this soon.
I had it happen once to me too, I wonder if there is some sort of memory leak or some other issue.
I have not been in the habit of powering off my watch but maybe a good idea?
I had the exact same issue was skipping through song then it froze waited 4hrs for battery to drainn
drain turned it back on and it said 0% battery so I reset it and it said 2% battery but every now and then it freezes and I have to reset it holding power for 15 sec also I notice more lag in lollipop and it did freeze on me not too long ago
The 5.0.1 Lollipop Wear update is a piece of sh!t. My Smartwatch3 was rock solid until it came along.
- Currently waiting for the battery to drain so it can come to life again...
Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe

When I charge my battery and it is 100% my TAb S is switching off. I only see the battery picture showing 100%.
I did a hard reset and a clear install without results. Anyone an idea what happens?
Are you saying it switches off completely or the screen does?
It switches off completely, not only the screen.
I had this problem a couple of weeks ago,has soon has the tablet booted up it would switch off then I would have to boot up again,then it would switch of again.i had the battery changed by Samsung about a month ago it started switching off since that battery change,the new battery started discharging just like the first battery,the tablet is now back with Samsung,i am hoping to get it back in the next couple of days,lets hope they fix it this time.Longlegs
My 12.2 keeps crashing and ending up in SDCard Mode.
It works just fine after charging. I can boot up for a day or two, the battery seems to discharge normally, then I will try to boot up and it goes straight to SDCard Mode. Last night I was using it, the battery at about 70% and it crashed. Black screen then tried to reboot and it goes into the SDCard Mode.
Once in this mode I can do nothing with it. No response and if I shut it down with the button it lights back up into the mode after a couple seconds. It will not charge.
At this point I either have to leave it until the battery goes completely dead, then it will charge, or remove the back and disconnect the battery, plug in the charger and when the battery shows on the screen I can reattach the battery and it will begin to charge.
With both of these options once it starts to charge it shows that the battery is completely drained and starting at 0%
Anybody know what's causing this?
Thanks,
Jim
Today with 80% on battery I started some updates off the Google Store and the tablet crashed to the SDCard mode shortly after.

Okay so, my LG G3 has had a problem with restarting and bootlooping before this. Basically, it would restart if used while not plugged in and would not boot up if not hooked up to a charger. Before this, plugging the charger in would solve the boot loop issue, but now, that leads to a different issue.
So, I was using my phone (while it's charging) and suddenly - screen goes black. After a few seconds, the battery loading screen (an icon of a battery with a small circle with several spokes in the middle of the battery icon) pops up. I hold the power button and the LG logo pops up and then goes back to the battery loading screen. which just bootloops if left alone.
Now, the phone CAN boot into recovery and bootloader (although it sometimes fails, it's like the device restarts mid-way through). In TWRP recovery, it shows the battery at 100%, although after rebooting into recovery again after some time, it displayed 75% (i never took the phone off the charger).
Sometimes while in recovery and the device is not plugged in, it'll restart, but that's kinda... normal, I guess, it used to do that before.
My PC recognizes the phone and I can access the data on it via USB without any problems.
I'm almost positive that the battery is the culprit, since a few hours before this started happening, it drained 20% in 5 minutes and in general, after it restarts randomly when not charging, the battery goes from 100% to 90% and if restarted again goes back to 95% or something like that. But does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I won't be able to buy a new battery for a few days and I need the device in working order until then.
