So I know there are a few other threads but I could not quite figure out who in the US has actually got the update and it seems most of the ones I see and look are outside the US and the ones saying they have not got it are in the US. Is there confirmation that people in the US are getting the update? I have tried the reset trick uninstalling android wear and moto connect and clearing Bluetooth but I have had no luck and I see others freaking out about it so I thought if we had a more clear answers Who and where they live that got that update? I know some have said on the wear roll outs it seems to not matter the region but it seems to or at least for US and Non US.
I guess the option "Did not get the 5.0.1 update, do not live in the US" was left out?
I guess I should have added it and i tried to delete the thread to add it. I was making a US thread because I had seen others for other areas so I guess I just didn't think to put it. my bad.
I got the update on Thursday during the day. I am in Florida, bought the watch from Best Buy. I did not need to reset the watch to see the update, but I did upgrade the Android Wear app to the latest version.
I live in AZ and am still anxiously awaiting to see the update. I did get the Android Wear update, but nothing for the watch .
I live in the Boston Mass area and i got the update on like Tuesday.
my real passion is to hack this baby up but i was having a b1tch of a time getting my usb interface i built to work.
Los Angeles, CA
got both the same day on thursday. did not even know there were updates as i dont keep up with these forums. i DID come here once I saw the update to see what it was about....
Well maybe they are doing big cities and moving there way in Ugh I wish they would just get to it or I could get this thing to mount via USB I have never had so much trouble with a cord.
New Jersey, update for android wear on Thursday - No update for my watch yet.
I don't think it has anything to do with cities. It's all about your Google account and what position it's in to receive the update. I'm in Pasadena (literally right next to Los Angeles) and i have yet to receive an update. This is without resetting the watch, or doing any other ridiculous tricks just to get it.

Im in Fall River,MA and i am still waiting for the update. I do have the updated Android Wear app. My girls G watch recieved the update yesterday. and i have reset this mother like fifteen times since my girl got hers, lmao
I got it but I had to force it.
Try this, it has worked for 3 other people.
1: Make sure your Google Play Services and Android Wear apps are updated to the latest versions using apkmirror.com (NOT the play store)
2: Remove BT pairing, "Forget device" from within the Wear app, wipe Wear apps data
3: Reset the watch
4: once booted and paired immediately go to settings/update and check for it. Within the first 3 times it should download it.
Again its not completely proven, but I've seen it work 3 times before including myself.

Clear data from Android wear and Moto connect. Uninstall both apps. Reset Moto 360. Install wear and connect. Pair watch. Check update and should get it.
That's what I did. I'm in Orlando, Florida. Have had the update for about 3days

Like I said before, I did all of that. Twice. Didn't get the update. It still requires some luck apparently.
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.
I had my Huawei watch 1 working with Android Wear 2 on my iPhone 7+ working for several months with iOS10. However, as soon as I upgrade to iOS 11 I realised that my Huawei Watch was not connected to my iPhone but still connected to and working on my wifi. Having tried unsuccessfully many times to pair the watch and phone I decided to reset the watch and reinstall AW2. BIG MISTAKE.
Although I reset ok and AW2 asking me if I want to pair with my watch, every time pairing fails. I have gone to Blue tooth and told it to forget the Huawei watch, which it does and I then start again. However after more than 20 unsuccessful attempts, I conclude that there is an issue between iOS11 and the watch & AW2. The Watch now will only function in settings and is now useless, unless and until the three separate organisations get their act together and resolve the conflict.
Any thoughts or suggestions or experience to share before I buy a new (Apple?) watch

Hi, I am also having trouble, but it is getting better. I don't think ios 11 is the problem as I was running my Huawei with aw 2.0 on my iPhone 6 after updating to 11. Everything was as it was on ios 10. Then, a few days later I got the iPhone 8 plus and everything fell apart. The BT connection has been very unreliable. I could actually watch the connection rapidly connect and then disconnect over and over on the AW app and my phone settings. I also lost Google Assistant and the Play Store. Today has been much better. BT connection stable all day and GA is back, but I still can't connect to the Play Store. Have you found any answers?
Factory reset helped me.
Same thing here, updated to iOS 11 and it was working, but after a day it got disconnected and never re-connected, trying a factory reset did nothing, could not reconnect.
Same with me. I thought it was working after I've updated the IOS to 11, but after a day, my watch refuse to connect to the IPhone7. Watch's Bluetooth kept on toggling off automatically.
Can anyone confirm the Factory Reset (watch) solve the problem?

I've had the same issue as you guys. It worked on the IPhone8 for a couple hours then disconnected. I couldn't even get it to pair after that. I spent a couple hours at an apple genius bar today. While there ios 11.0.1 dropped. I installed and could pair my phone to the watch but it quickly started having issues. It was constantly connecting and disconnecting. They asked if they could have my phone to send in and have the logs checked. I agreed and they gave me a new phone. Hopefully this helps them fix the issue in a future update.
I'm having the same issue with a Fossil Q Founder 2.0, so this seems to be a larger iOS 11 / Android Wear compatibility problem and not hardware-specific. It was working fine on iOS 10, but as soon as I upgraded to 11, the watch was having issues staying connected (which in turn drained the watch battery very quickly). I had the same idea as above, and tried factory resetting the watch - now I can't get it to connect at all.
I signed up for a beta software profile on the iPhone. I received ios 11.1 beta today and immediately installed. My watch is presently paired and receiving updates ?
Edit: It only stayed connected for ~half hour. I just submitted a detailed report to Apple through their feedback app.
My theory is that iOS is killing/hibernating/sleeping the Android Wear app after some time in the background.
What I'm doing:
- review the connectivity from time to time
- if it is not working:
, manually kill the Android Wear app, open it again and, from the card in the watch, start the resync process.
Some extra information: Moto 360 2nd gen + iPhone 6 with iOS 11.0.1
In addition to this, the application on the iPhone is constantly active in the background and will kill the battery in a few hours.
ip 7 plus + huawei watch 2
I have a Nixon Mission and after upgrade to iOS 11.0 (iPhone7) I have also lost connection. I did a factory reset that worked for about half an hour... I also tried with iOS 11.0.1 and the **** is the same.

Same here. Reset watch and now can't connect at all. Interestingly it doesn't show up as a device in Bluetooth settings to forget
And another one here. I haven't tried a factory reset, just in case I can't reconnect. But nothing I do seems to fix the problem. After the iOS11 upgrade my watch was initially connecting ok, but now it won't. I've rebooted both devices, toggled airplane mode, wifi, bluetooth, killed Android Wear app (iOS), etc. Nothing seems to work.
Well guys I sold my Huawei watch and got a series 3 Apple watch. All I can say is watch os4 is miles ahead of Android wear 2.0. I've been on Android since the inception of the smartphone. This is my first iPhone and I'm learning to really love it. Android is in the same ballpark in the phone arena. As for the watch department, android is not even in the same universe. Android does offer way better selection and style, but software pffft. I hope Apple fixes the issue quickly for you guys. I've gave them lots of information and logs through their beta program, hopefully it helps. RIP Huawei watch ?
Hi!!! had the same problem.. i put my phone on airplane mode a couple of seconds.. (to get wifi and bluetooth off) and the disabled airplane mode... and instantly reconnected to my huawei watch,
Hope this helps.
Anyone figured this out yet??
I have an iPhone 6s and running iOS 11.1 beta 2. I did a factory reset on the watch and the setup screen would show the watch but when I select it, it says cannot pair. I cannot connect to it at all! This happened when I was on the stable release of iOS 11 too just in case you are going to say it’s brcause I’m using a beta version of iOS. Thanks in advance!!
With latest firmware and lates android wear update everything works as it should. Cheers b.

Recently, I took my lte watch 4 classic to a trip where I left my phone in charging at hotel, I was able to get calls and messages but no other notifications showed up during the watch lte period, the older tizen watches with Samsung sync were working great, I was a little bummed and was researching about Cloud Sync from Google, many reported that it was working fine until, I read a comment back from 2016/17 where they said they had the issue solved, funny enough I tried it out, The comment said, to make Google cloud sync work, we have to delete the data from Google play services, I deleted it and was greeted with watch not connecting to phone, so I had to reset the watch and connect it back again, once done, I left the watch on charger for a good 1 hour connect with phone via Bluetooth, so that background apps maybe updated, once done, I took the watch out to a stroll and now I could see the cloud sync icon in watch panel and whatspp/telegram messages were coming through along with notifications, we can also reply to the messages from cloud platforms, do follow the above steps if you have a lte watch and cloud sync isn't working, be sure to backup data before resetting, also Bluetooth watches work with call and text on other devices via Samsung so that had no problem when connect with wifi when not with phone, that also had cloud sync but worked fine with wifi network. Let me know if this helped.
Thank goodness for this post. Another page was saying I would have needed to factory reset my whole phone, which would have been a royal pain. Also, nowadays, in the spot where "clear data" would be for Play Services, there's a Manage button (at least on my Galaxy S22+) that lets you clear only the data related to Wearable, so yes, I needed to reset my watch but now Remote Connection is working again!
Good to know! Kudos
I have the same issue. Use a S22ultra. Have GW5 Pro with LTE (tmobile)
Is there any particular sequence in which we need to clear storage on phone and reset watch?
Also do I need to remove the watch data plan also?
Thanks
@StarLordPK @galaxys @askop Any suggestions? I cannot seem to get the cloud Sync (remote connection) working inspite of clearing GooglePlay storage and watch reset.
Any particular sequence to try? Thanks in advance.

Hi, you need to clear play services storage instead of play store, I attached a screenshot on what to clear, also be mindful that once you clear the play services storage watch won't connect and work with phone, you'll have to reset the watch and connect it again to phone. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes please remove data plan before clearing out play services, although you can reset the watch with data plan intact, would recommend removing the data plan and adding it after reconnection.

Hi. I'm having the same issue, but it's NOT and LTE galaxy watch pro phone --- wifi only. It looks like Cloud Sync is enabled on both phone and watch, and I'm signed into my Samsung Account. What happens is if I leave my phone on its charger one one side of the house, I can't make calls and I don't get notifications when I'm out of bluetooth range but I am within my home wifi network.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. I have an x80 Pro the CN version. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it with Magisk. After a few days my Google Play Services stopped working. I reset my phone and again it works a few days then stops. I finally found a video where it shows how to setup everything on Magisk so that your SafetyNet doesn't detect the unlocked bootloader. I did all that, passed all the tests, it worked a few days then the same thing. When I run a SafetyNet checker it just says can't access Google Play Services. Anything that uses Google Play Services doesn't work or is delayed. Here's the weird part.. If I connect my phone through USB to my car or my computer, the play services work well but the minute I unplug it, back to not working again. So something is making this happen and I am not sure what.. If anyone has any experience with this and could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Go to settings/Account and sync.
Open Google Service and deactivate this. Wait a Moment and activate. Working.

Have you turned on "Google Basic Services" in settings? Most resellers turn this on for you and install the Google Play store before shipping the device, but it is turned off by default. If you have done a factory reset then it would be off. Turning it on is essential to maintaining permanent Google Play services.

Yeah. I turned it off then back on to make sure. But same thing would happen. What I did now is I downgraded it to a previous firmware version and then did the whole safety net process again. It seems to be okay now. Honestly I think it started happening after I would go into the clear cache mode where it wipes the phone cache but not the data on your phone. I haven't done that since I did this and it seems to be okay now. I don't know why clearing the cache would cause this to happen since I like doing that every once in a while. It was very weird because I would connect my phone to USB and the services would come back. Unplug it, they would be gone. Something was triggering it to do that and I have no idea what.
If you have removed com.vivo.pem every firmware update is a problem with google authentication.
Restore com.vivo.pem and you get rid of the issue.

Well, not only after the update the Google services turn off. In my case every third day they just turn off. There exist more frustration issues, because they can be turned on again easily. But still... It's annoying.
