Won't stay connected

Just got this watch. I had the Moto 360 before, it worked fine.
This doesn't want to stay connected. I have to reset the watch, uninstall Android Wear and re-install it, then it'll connect once. After that, it disconnects and won't connect again. So notifications, syncing, weather, etc don't work.
Looking at my phone in Android Wear it just says Connecting.... on the watch, it says disconnected. Going into Bluetooth settings doesn't do a damn thing either.

Try Bluetooth Auto Connect from Playstore, it´s working for me on a Note3 with Omega Rom

Thanks for the reply. I managed to sort it out... I missed the step to click "trust device" during the initial set up. I didn't realize that was a necessary step for the watch to stay connected. You'd think it'd just do it automatically.

I don´t know, if it´s automatic, but i have the function with klicking on "trust device", no change, only the "Blutetoot Auto Connect" app is working.

This piece of crap is doing it again. Once its been disconnected, it won't connect again without complelety startinh over and resetting everything.
I'll check out that app.
You know, people can bash apple all they want, but at least their **** actually works properly.

Hasn't happened in a while, but if mine won't connect I just go to the android wear app and disconnect the Zenwatch then connect again. Works every time...

Tried that, many times.. never works. That app doesn't work either.

Well this is a serious problem I've had the watch for about six weeks now it took awhile to get initial set up to begin with I was at the point to return it on the first day , then I don't know how but it just paired and started working fine , I was very happy until today turned the watch on it wasn't paired and I've literally been trying for hours to get this chit to connect with no luck I've reset it ,tried the app mentioned above no luck at this point I give up I bough it at best buy but I'm past the return period I'm going to try and find some customer service rep ,at this point I give up trying to get the watch to work,if anyone knows of a customer service phone number I would greatly appreciate it , or if anyone here has any helpful information , ,I'm pretty tech wavy. But I surrender at this point what a shame I really liked the watch but the aggravation factor is to much ,sorry for the.long rant but there's no where else to vent or look for help maybe together as a group we can find some answers again any help would be greatly appreciated......

did you forget the watch in your phones Bluetooth settings?

Thank's for replying but yes I've tried everything under the sun , just got home from work , going to see if I can't find a customer service number , if I can't get it resolved by the weekend I might as well throw 200$ in the Trash because That's where it's Going ....................:crying:

Go to settings / apps on your phone. Find google play services under running apps. See if device connection service is running. If not try rebooting your phone then the watch in that order and try to pair. You could also check if there is an update for play services and update if there is.

Same issue here, boxing up my ZenWatch and bringing it back to Best Buy today. Still within the 15 days. I really like the watch but these random disconnects are a killer. Most of the time it auto-reconnects but every now and then I have to reboot everything--which is kinda ridiculous if I'm out running.
At least I'll have a different watch with everything else the same for comparison sake and report back.

Have you tried uninstalling zenwatch manager? Mine started disconnecting after the last update, and uninstalling seems to have fixed my issue

I had the same problem I think the update from google services broke it.
unpair the watch from your phone then factory reset the watch and this is IMPORTANT pair your watch using "android wear" NOT the Bluetooth from the system phone
after I paired my watch using Android Wear now the watch stay connected and reconnect normally

After half a day working this seems to be the solution, thanks. :good:

Bad luck: two days later same problem persists (frequently disconnecting)

I am getting pretty tired of my Zenwatch not staying connected either. $200 is a lot of money for a watch that doesn't work right. It's had three or four updates since I bought it and it still sucks, should have sent it back the first week.
The Google nag to enable Google Now in the Android Wear screen is also a sore spot with me, if I wanted it enabled it would be enabled.
This whole "wearables" thing seems to be a poorly executed fad more than anything else, one that I'll be avoiding from here on out.

why would you have a watch that relies so heavily on google now and not enable it? connection has been just fine for me no several phones and software versions since I got it in January

Same here. I mean, it has disconnected maybe 3 times since I got it in November, but it hasn't been a big issue. Toggling BT on the phone reconnected it. I also agree with you about Google Now. It's central to how Wear works. Using a Wear device without Now would be like buying a car and trying to drive it without starting the engine.

You don't need Google now to benefit from owning this watch.
1. I like the ability to change watch faces and create my own with Watchmaker.
2. I can answer or dismiss a call from the watch.
3. Text and email notifications.
That's all I care about, anything else is an unnecessary distraction.

Anybody using Airplay to stream music?

After a while, about four to six minutes, it disconnects and the music keeps playing through the HTC 10 loudspeakers. I'm streaming to my Onkyo TX-RZ900 which works just fine when associated with my IMac Airplay.

No answers so far... I'm surprised I'm the only one trying to use this. Since Nougat, Airplay does not connect anymore, anyways.

I haven't tried since the Nougat update, but it did the same to me in Marshmallow. As far as I remember, it was quite random how long it was working for. Sometimes a minute or so, sometimes 5-10 mins. It was one of the features that convinced me to buy the HTC 10 originally, but had to learn living without it the end. But I'm very forgiving, cause otherwise I love this phone

Thanks for your feedback. It would be nice if you could give it another try now that Nougat is there.

Tried with Nougat. It appeared to have been connected a little bit longer, but I still got disconnected after a couple of mins. By a couple I mean like 2

Problem solved for me.
I use Adguard to get rid of ads on my phone. I finally understood it blocked Airplay by default, applied the correct settings, Airplay now works like a charm. I'm a happy camper.

Hmm...Is it still ok ever since? I don't use Adguard or anything similar and I'm on full stock rom. I'm wondering what's causing this on my phone...

You're right. It holded up pretty good for a few days, but now it disconnects just like it always did. What a shame.

Crap! It would be nice to find a solution for this - I think of this a lot more since we've started talking about it here...
What I find intriguing is that I can't see many people complaining about it on the internet and this makes me wondering if
a, it's a bug that only affects a small percentage of devices, but otherwise working fine
b, people don't know that HTC added Airplay support to HTC Connect
c, people having this phone don't have any Apple devices, because it's made by the enemy

I couldn't agree more.
But I must confess I had never heard of Airplay before I got my Onkyo receiver... Even if I own an IMac...
Killer feature in my opinion
When it works.

Not giving up. I disabled WiFi battery optimization in advanced WiFi settings, the connection has been flawless for the last few days. A step in the right direction?

Haha I already have I'll give this a go too and will report back with my results

Here's the newest twist: I don't know what happened, we moved house, but are using the same routers (2 Time Capsules), same Apple TV, same HTC 10 with full official nougat and yet it doesn't connect anymore It says "Unable to connect to Apple TV"
Tried
* wiping app data
* wiping cache partition
* restarting routers
* restarting Apple TV
* restarting HTC 10
No luck. My wife's HTC 10 does the same. It goes silent for a split second like it was connected, then the connection breaks and keeps playing on the phone. If I manually select Apple TV (kinda forcing it to reconnect), it throws the above error. In the same time, my MacBook Air and my iPad can AirPlay to the same Apple TV, so it's something with the phones. Since it kept disconnecting anyway, it's not a big loss, but I guees my tests end here for now. I'll try after the next system update, that might bring it back to life

That's unfortunate... I wish I could help. No clue what's going on with your set up, as I use no Apple devices.
My 10 works like a charm with my Onkyo receiver since I disabled the WiFi optimization, I'm amazed it was that simple.

I'll give that a go if/when it starts working again. It was turned on both on my phone and my wife's, so yeah, maybe this was the culprit.

Unable to stay connected after s7 Nougat update?

Since i upgraded my s7 to Nougat, my Smartwatch 3 has failed to stay connected to the phone. Most of the time it refuses to connect at all.
Ive googled for days now, trying all of the usual stuff including clearing the bluetooth cache and wiping the system cache, unpairing the watch, safe mode, forgetting the watch and repairing, removing android wear.
The setup starts working and then during the sync stage, i start getting the bluetooth share has failed message several times although most apps seem to sync eg watchmaker pro and strava.
My question is should the Smartwatch 3 still work correctly with my phone even though the phone is on Android 7.0 and the phone is on 6.0?
Thanks
Andy

My SW3 works great with my HTC 10 running Nougat.
Have you tried doing a factory reset on the watch?

That was going to be my last resort!
Think I may be there though
Thanks,
Andy

Just completed a full reset. Paired first time but crashed several times with bluetooth share has failed.
Failed to complete and no longer connects

I'm also on 7.0 and no problem at all. Maybe is something wrong with your BT from S7, unfortunately I have to tell you to try try factory on the phone, if you can't find out. Samsung for me have strange way of using there BT connections maybe this is why.
Hope I'm not starting any flame but.... that's why I'm on HTC (and not only), Samsung (S4 and S5) phone several times have blocked my car BT system...

Thanks for the feedback. I have done a factory reset and it made no difference, but maybe it is a Samsung issue as nobody with an S7 has indicated they are using an SW3 with nougat.

I'm having same issues. Updated S7 edge to Nougat last week and everything running fine until SW3 ceased connecting today. Tried everything other than factory reset on phone and cannot get connection to SW3.

Mine has started working after a month of failing.
It's been connected for a couple of days without any disconnections.
The latest attempt was no different to any others.....
I switched off the watch, wiped the system cache, restarted the phone and watch and lt connected.
I left it alone as apps started to sync and there were some bluetooth share has stopped messages but everything works!

try this:

If you use in the phone the option "deep kill all apps" in recen menus... you will have sync problem... It happend me with my op3...

I have similar problem with my S7. It works fine with bt connection as long as i connect the watch over wifi. Then no more bt connection is established, only wifi. Turning off wifi makes the watch permanently offline.
Very annoying as my watch can't sync when outside my wifi range.
Any solution so far?

Android Wear 2.0 paired with an IPhone

How is your Huawei watch working with an iPhone following the new update? I presently don't own an iPhone but am jumping ship when the IPhone8 drops. I want to use my Huawei watch with the iPhone. Just curious to hear your pros and cons.

AW 2.0 isnt working with my iPhone 6s. Cant force the update with repeated taps on update screen becuase I cant force the watch to wifi (not an option). Any help from somebody that got it to work with an iPhone would be appreciated.

Am I the only one with an iPhone and a Huawei watch? Comments on other threads got me thinking I am not missing out on much.

same here. how does one get to wifi when using an iphone?

I manually flashed Android Wear 2.0 last night, as far as I can tell, everything is working just as it did on 1.5 with my iPhone 7plus

You can flash AW2.0 using adb

Got a notification that an update was available this afternoon. Going through the instal now. Ill let you guys know if there are any hiccups.

Everything seems to be working pretty well. Any of us iPhone users able to figure out how to respond to text messages directly? Is it supported with ios messaging?

Google maps isnt working. Cant respond to text messages. Not seeing any apps that make me excited. Pretty limited functionality improvement. New watch faces are cool, but the weather, phone battery status etc. complications dont function. I may be missing something but function wise I dont see significant improvement for the iPhone users the way that I was expecting it to. Would love some help or some insight from other users if they have a short review or tips for doing some of the things I think I am missing.

I don't have one yet but thank you for your feedback. Hopefully someone has some insight to help you out.
I'm using the elements watch face and the complications work great in android. Try using elements analog or digital. Long press the watch face and that should get you into settings. Tap on data and pick your complications. Also make sure you've opened the app connected to the complication. Hope this helps

Hello, I can confirm your info i have the same.
I was waiting for the AW2 to switch to my iPhone 6s.
I own multiple devices iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S and a Galaxy S5.
Previously I was on my galaxy S5 with my Huawei watch with AW 1.5.
the only good thinks it's the play store, not all watch face are compatible but some are.
for the weather, I have Pujie Black watch face it works.

hi everyone. i am using my huawei watch with an iphone device for a couple of months now. just have a question about it. is there any way that i can answer or make a call on my watch like andoird?! i really missed that.

Updating to Android Wear 2.0: (Verified by a few users). This is for the Huawei Watch and an iPhone.
Have the watch connected to the charger.
Remove and re-install the IOS Android app.
Unpair the watch and start over.
In Settings go to System/About/System Updates.
Wifi is NOT working yet. Choose Bluetooth in the update process and download the update.
Upon completion of the update you should have the wifi setting . Now you have access to the Play Store and all the new features of Android Wear 2.0.

Weather works fine.

The fitness part on iPhone is non existing. Google fit doesn't sync and Huawei Wear doesn't have Huawei watch as an option... So all things fitness stays on the watch sadly.

Question Connection lost every day

I use my watch the whole day with my pixel 6 pro with bt and in the evening my app told me that the connection is lost and I have to reset the connection. I have done it and yesterday and complete the wizard. Today in the morning I have start my phone again after sleeping and the watch lost the connection again and I have to do the setup again.
Anyone knows the reason for this?

Several tips:
-- Google Play Services and all of its idiosyncratic behavior(s).
-- Remove yourself from the beta version of Play Services - if you're a tester.
-- Forget the watch under Bluetooth Devices - if listed.
-- Uninstall the Wear OS, restart the phone and reinstall it.
-- Install a previous version of Wear OS.
-- It all else fails - factory reset the watch.

I have written Google.

I have to test a different smartphone and if it dont work the watch will changed. I will do a wallet pay later because I think thats the reason the watch crashed. I test it and will write google
