Can't connect to phone

I managed to get my Zenwatch set up for the first time with my Galaxy S4 (running Lollipop 5.0.1) yesterday, but following an OTA update on the watch (to 5.1.1) the battery life seemed awful (about 8 hours), so I tried a factory reset of the watch. Since then I have struggled to get the phone to re-connect to the watch.
I've tried another factory reset of the watch, and un-installing the Android Wear and Asus Zenwatch Manager apps from my phone, but the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch - it just hangs at "Connecting..."
I did manage to manually pair with the watch using Bluetooth Settings on the phone, and this got the Android Wear app connected, but I was still unable to connect the Asus Zenwatch Manager app to the watch, and the clock on the watch was showing 1 hour behind (my local time is BST), and I wasn't receiving any notifications on the watch.
So I factory reset the watch again, uninstalled and re-installed Android Wear on the phone, and I'm back to the situation where the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch.
Any ideas??

I occasionally have that problem, reboot the phone and watch and all is well again.

Unfortunately a phone reboot didn't do it for me. I found that "forgetting" the watch from the Android Wear app, then a factory reset of the watch, got me reconnected to the Android Wear app, but I still couldn't get the Asus Zenwatch Manager to connect to the watch.

Re update again, i find it update are downloaded in the watch and waiting for us to execute, just go to setting on your watch and choose about, then software update. there must be and update waiting and you can just touch update... it works with me... just make sure you check software update regularly if this problem happens. it just need to most update android wear to be installed and will connect with the latest zenwatch manager
hope this help

Any suggestion for how to use the custom watch faces in iOS device?

I just realized that the pairing the moto360 with iOS does not support 3rd party custom faces!
It is very frustrating to use moto 360 without custom watch faces.
In this case, if I root the moto360, is there any possibility to put the custom faces with PC directly?

Good question, i want to know this too.

Found this, trying this today. If it works I'll write up a detailed list of steps unless someone beats me to it
First I found one to try LCARS Android Wear Watch Face
Then I used the Evozi APK downloader to get the phone APK
Extracted the APK (like a zip file)
Found the APK meant for the watch (android_wear_micro_apk.apk) in the extractedapk > res > raw folder
Enabled ADB on the watch (Settings > About > tap Build Number I think 7 times which enabled Developer Options)
Swipe back to previous page, Open Developer Options
Tap ADB debugging to enable
Tap Check icon to enable it
You can now type adb shell on your computer which will give you a card on your watch to allow it
Once you have a prompt you can type exit and hit enter to get back to your computers prompt
From there you just type:
adb install /location/of/android_wear_micro_apk.apk
Once it is installed it will say so on the watch and will be available in the watch face selection carousel

This will work for other Smart Watches that support a USB connection. This will not work for the Moto 360 over Blue Tooth. It may work for the Moto 360 if you made a custom USB Cable but I have not seen any posts that has been the case.

Just leave the moto360 paired with your android phone - thus having all custom watchfaces, and install aerlink and lightblue BLE, and you can have the connection to iphone, and what is more cool, you can keep the connection to your android phone (Yes, both can be connected at the same time!). watch the video on howto:

So I've been running my Moto 360 with an Iphone 6 plus for about a week now with no issues of disconnect. Iphone 6 plus is at IOS 9.1 and my moto 360 is at the newest firmware. My moto 360 is a first gen I just bought it about a month ago. To use with an iphone the first thing you need to do is install android wear on an android device and sync the moto 360 with that device. Update the firmware on the moto 360 to the newest version. After everything is good to go on the watch, go into the play store on the android device and download aerlink. Make sure aerlink installs on the watch. Grab a few sweet watch faces from the playstore. Turn bluetooth off on the android device/ tablet or phone you synced your watch with NOT Bluetooth on the watch.
Now on the iphone download aerlink from the app store. Yes its a few bucks but its worth it. It works really good. Launch aerlink on the iphone. On the watch launch aerlink and enable the ios service. The watch connects to the iphone, type in the code from the flag on the watch. After you type in the code the watch will disconnect. Click the flag on the watch it will reconnect and tell you everything is good.
To add watch faces just enable bluetooth on the android tablet and launch android wear after it connects you can download watch faces from the apps store. To reconnect the watch follow the steps above.
Also aerlink has a background service on the iphone. I leave the app aerlink on the iphone running int he background. Meaning if you double tap the home screen dont swipe the app up to close it out.
If the watch restarts or iphone restarts you'll have to go threw the process of turning the IOS service back on and connecting with the iphone. Its easier to just delete the bluetooth connection on the watch and reconnect. Other than that the connection is real stable between the two.
I was having some battery issues using the Auto brightness. I set the brightness level on the watch to 2 all the time and am getting better battery life.

What? "Aerlink works really good"? Have you ever used a nice app? You are probably the developer of that app.. It is the most ****ty app i have ever seen.. Here you can see the current problems:
I think i will just uninstall this app and live with the default watch faces.

Sorry to harp on about this subject, but what is currently the best app to use to pair my 360 with my iPhone running iOS9, when it has already been paired with an android phone. The reason for this is so I can use Custom Watch faces. I will pair it with my other android phone to get the watch faces, but will leave that at home in a box under my bed. I then would like to pair the watch with my iPhone to get notifications, as that's all I really want. There have been a few apps branded around to do this, but wonder if anyone knows what works best?

I am also looking for an answer for this. Ill have my moto 360 on thursday and i know that the app store has Android Wear and pairs up with no issues but was wondering the easiest way to add watch faces without an android phone.

Is there an updated thread pertaining to using custom watch faces with a Moto 360 and iphone user?

Moto 360 and Android
I have the 6s and a first get 360, what a nightmare....these were never meant to work side by side. I am springing for a Apple watch and just use the 360 as a regular watch as it is useless. Always disconnects and then you have to go through a long process of re-establising a connection. Maybe someday

Moto 360 2nd Gen WiFi Connectivity to Iphone not available.

So I just pickup a Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatch 2 days ago. I am currently using an Iphone 5. I was able to get the watch and phone connected through bluetooth perfectly fine as Motorola promise it does work with Apple Phones. However I spent the next day or so trying to look for wifi connectivity on the watch as well as the phone. it is no where to be found. The wifi setting on the Moto 360 is just not there. I try searching online for answers and all comes back to say the watch have a wifi feature which can be set at the setting area within the Moto 360. But regardless of what I did. turning off and on the watch number of times. Factory reset the watch number of times. updated to the latest Android wear OS 5.1.1. it still does not show up. I called Motorola tech support. the rep had a watch on his hand and said there should be a wifi setting in the Moto 360. However I'm certain he is not pair to an iphone. so he ask me to go and return the phone and said there could be a software issue with the watch I have.
I realize with Android wear connecting to an iphone, I will never get the full functionality as connecting to an Android phone. And I'm sure the wifi is one of the feature that will not work, simply because within Android wear app itself, in order for the wifi feature to work with the phone, inside Android wear, you have to turn on CLOUD sync. and Android ware for Iphone does not have the CLOUD sync feature in it. so I figure even if the wifi feature on the Moto 360 2nd gen is there, it won't do any good because of lack of CLOUD sync.
Just to answer some of you ask why I would buy a Android Wear watch instead of an Apple watch since I'm using a Iphone. well, the iphone is just my temporary phone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, it was sent in for repair. until it come back. i'm using an old Iphone for my Spare.
Hope this help some people when they run into this issue. If you found something I don't know. please let me know. I like to know. thanks

WiFi and Bluetooth settings are disabled/hidden on all Android Wear devices when they connect to and iOS device.

Phone dont see the smartwatch 3

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.

Sony smartwatch 3 can't connect to the internet

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't know if there is a topic similar with my issue but my smartwatch sony 3 can't connect with the internet and with the android wear app. Yesterday it was working well with my android tablet, but then I pair with another android smartphone and I can't connect it again with my tablet. It says on the smartwatch that is connected but then it shows "Just a minute..." and on the android tablet "checking for updates... this may take a few minutes". After a few minutes it shows on the smartwatch "can't connect to the android wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips."
I have done the downgrade of the smartwatch to LWX48P version because I want to update to LCA43 to use NFC with freestyle libre because I am diabetic. Please help me, and thank you so much for your patience.
Best regards from Portugal,
Catarina

Greetings. Perhaps the problem you are having is the switch. Your watch can only be connected to one host device (phone/tablet) at a time. In order to switch you need to disconnect it from the device and set it up as a new device on the new one. This will trigger a wipe (at least of /data). There may be an app to make the switch easier, but I am not sure.
Good luck.

Just a hunch, but you probably need to disconnect it from Android Wear on both devices, then remove Bluetooth pair from both devices in Bluetooth settings, then reset the watch to factory settings, then start with a clean slate.
But previous poster is correct, you cannot pair it with 2 devices, which is really annoying, so pick one device only, and you can't switch from one to the other, and then back again.

Thank you so much for your reply! It works if the smartwatch has the latest version ! But the main question is that with the LWX48P version I can't connect with my tablet. But I need to update to LCA43, and without internet I can't do it. I searched for a OTA version of LWX48P to LWX49K to LDZ22D and finally to LCA43 to make the upgrade manually but I can't find it. Can you help me please? Thank you!
