I recently got hold of a sony smartwatch 2 and tried to use it by pairing it with my nexus 5 running lollipop. I just get a loading screen and it just hangs there, on the watch. I checked on the SW2 website, it says that you need to have the latest version of the Sony Smartwatch 2 app downloaded on your phone, which doesn't seem to be happening on my phone. Please help.
Have you tried to install manually the apps ?
Smart Connect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware
Smart Watch 2 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2
Try use any apk downloader on web to download smartconnect and smartwatch2 from playstore and install them manually. If it still doesn't work, guess you will need to wait for Sony to update to support 5.0 ....
I remember when 4.4 was first out, the smartwatch2 didn't work too until Sony updated. It will take you real long time to wait because Sony will only roll out 5.0 in the first week of Jan 2015.
I bought SW2 today, and i have to flash 4.4 rom on N4, Lollipop crashed an update for me :<
the answer!
Im using lollipop on my nexus 4 and i had the same problem. Here is how i got it to work. The sw2 isnt running the latest version so use another android to do it. Then nornaly pair ur nexus 5 without factory reset ur sw2
Nexus 5 Android 5 doesnt work with Sony SmartWatch2
I just bought a new Sony SmartWatch2.
It did connect to my Nexus 5 running Android 5 but after that keep saying downloading updates and doesnt do anything.
I did reset it few times but no joy.
I have LG G3 d855 with stock lolipop 5.0 and work fine

Same problem here on my Nexus 4. I chatted online with a Sony tech support rep; he blamed Lollipop and said I'd have to wait for Sony to add support for it.

And that doesn't tie your watch to the other phone? I only have one smartphone so I'd have to use someone else's like an in-law's.

ok but then I'll lose all my files on the SW3 (music, apps etc...)?
Yes, Factory Reset is the only way to pair with a new phone and yes, it formats userdata partition so you will lose everything on the watch.
You can always pull the data that you care about using adb.
Yes, no matter what when you flash a new rom or get a new phone you always have to reset the watch. I have the S6 edge also and it pairs fine.
Hi, I have a smartwatch 3 with a samsung galaxy note 3 but find that 50% of the time when giving google voice instructions the watch doesn't respond and then says connection lost. It makes one of the useful features of the watch pretty much worthless. Any ideas? Thanks

If that Galaxy Note 3 is running the Stock ROM, than I'd say that's your problem. Samsung don't like you to use non-Samsung devices. alongside theirs.. Also, which version of Android are you running? As far as I know, the GN3's support was dropped, with the last official update being KitKat. So that might also be a problem... I highly recommend upgrading your phone to the same version of Android as your SW3 (Which would be 5.1.1 if you're on the latest update), and not using a Samsung ROM. If there's CyanogenMod for your phone, get it and try the watch again.

Press and hold your mi band 2 button for 30 sec or more. This will reset mi band 2 and repair with mi fit app.
Good luck.

I think it does not concern with android version. Other ppl also happen HRM error. It may be Mi band 2 latest firmware problem. Check above link and try, this link may help you. BTW, my mi band 2 is OK in HRM and I use android 6.0.1.
Good luck,

My Firmware version is V1.0.0.53 and MI Fit version is 2.2.3. I suggest you need to un-pair and uninstall MI fit app. Restart your phone. And then Install MI Fit app and re-pair with mi band. Remember, Always open Bluetooth and GPS when you re-pair or update firmware, otherwise your device may be fail to pair or update firmware.
Good luck,

You should first pair with old version, if OK, upgrade to new version when open Bluetooth, GPS and Mobile data.

Mi band blue tooth
I had come across a similar situation where miband was not syncing with mifit app. searched a lot and could not get any solution. and a simple workaround helped me. So thought of sharing this. Mi band seems to be not connecting and syncing. i checked the bluetooth settings where i got an option to forget the band. and i had done that. Now i faced the real issue that i could not found the band in range after scanning for the devices.. Now i was searching for an option to reset miband which i found there was no way. then while i was exploring the mifit app under profiles i found an option as add device. in fact it was showing my device there already and that was the actual issue i guessed. So i could unpair the same from there and clicked add a device. it worked . my band started vibrating and phone screen shown a message to press the button on the band. I pressed the same and it got paired and synced with all old data. That was a simple issue but some times we dont check the things in right place.
Hope this post will help some one

Try my Solution here.
You can use the Mi Band Master app. The free version is enough as an alternative to Mi Fit. It can reset the band, and you can set new configurations.
There is also a Pro Version which is the best!
Well, I got the same issue,
In Bluetooth settings, I can see the mi band 2, but when trying to pair with mi fit or mi band master app, it doesn't.
Tried a third party app Fix-It for mi band 2 but it doesn't work either,
The band is unpaired from the account and the phone.
Tried on an other phone but still not connecting.
The band is tracking my activity and the HRM is working too
HELP ME T_T
Here are some of the steps that I found from one of the youtube videos.

If you paired it with a device, and now you're trying to pair it with another device, it won't work. First of all, you have to unpair it with old device, then try connecting it to the new device.
Please sufficiently charge your Mi Band.
Try restarting the Bluetooth and then connect it.
If this also doesn't help, rebooting your phone will definitely help.
After lots of research.. I found this application gadgetbridge.
Connect you band to this app.
Click on Menu -> Debug -> Factory Reset
note you will lose all your data from band. But it will get reset and then your mi-fit app will start detecting it again.
Hi all. After i installed lineage OS Version my Galaxy note 10.1 2014 keeps crashing periodically from couple of times a day to every other day. This behaviour is pesky and its been reported on the internet by several users. One way to limit it , is to select the app in use. In my case one note in settings and apply force stopp and clear cache. But that only lessens the crash occasions but doesnt remove them totally. Anybody has an idea what to do about this ?

On my P605 I use LOS14.1 having no probs.
Gotta admit I don't use One Note.
