Did you download the SmartConnect software? What step of the process is the problem occuring?
Yes, I downloaded everything but when I go to activate the Bluetooth and to connect the devices the galaxy don't read my watch. In practice the smartphone don't detect it

When starting the device have you held down the power button to activate pairing?

Here's some steps you can take especially if your watch is new and not very customized yet. Try hooking up the watch to your PC and run the sony applicaton on your PC that does the updating. Have it connect to your watch and flash the latest firmware from Sony. After it's all done, let the watch sit on the cable until it has a full charge. When it is fully charged, reboot your phone and disconnect the watch from the cable. After the reboot, make sure no other BT devices are connected. Put the phone in BT discovery mode. Hold the watch's power button down for about 30 seconds or so. This will reset the watch. From there, the pairing should work.
Napalm, your advice (press 30s) works fine 4 me. Thanks a lot!!

Glad I could help. When I snagged mine off Ebay, it was stuck on a 3 bars screen. I had to do some searching around to get it fixed. That's where I came across a lot of the troubleshooting steps for the watch.
I see an new issue... The LiveView app closes itself after some time... Someone experiencing this issue too?

If I cut BT off , yes the app will disappear. However if BT is fine and my phone has been within range of the watch, I never see the app go away. Double check any app killers you have to make sure it's whitelisted. Also, people at least with a Nexus 4 have been complaining that the BT stack for 4.2.2 has been kind of trashy. M y rooted Rezound with a 4.2.2 rom has been fine though.
Hey guys I solved the problem, I had only to update the clock. Thanks to everyone

That's an odd fix
can't connect smartwatch with S4
I try to reset the watch and pairing again with my S4, it paired up, when connecting for data, my phone just won't find my watch. I don't know how to update my watch with pc. But I connect it with my galaxy tab and update it. Is there any other way that can make my watch works with S4?
Thanks a lot

Awesome It takes a bit of googling to find the right info on that. I initially told my seller-thanks for a defective watch LOL. It's been working great since I fixed that thing being stuck on the 3 bars.

Hey, I just got my SW2 after eyeballing it for a while. Well, the problem is, after connecting to my phone, I install apps on my phone using SmartConnect, but they never appear on the watch. Or, they do, but are greyed out. Help?! Please?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
You would need this as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2
But make sure you've paired the watch to the phone also.
So what you need is pairing, smart connect app, smart watch 2 app
Okay, I got it setup. Somehow it stopped installing apps along the way.. But now here's my next problem...
It doesn't sync with my phone? When I go to the slideshow app, it never loads my photos, it just shows loading bars and then closes. Same with the camera. Same with music. All of it just does the bar thing and then shuts..

It'd be great if someone could help me with this, I seem to have narrowed it down.
It doesn't sync to my device. It will for like, five seconds of being connected, but then it'll stop. Am I doing something wrong?

You probably have bluetooth issues between SW2 and your LG.

Hey everyone,
So I have a Nexus 5 red and just for kicks I wanted to try out the NFC but it does not seem to work correctly and I cannot figure out why.
The phone I was trying to connect with is an S4. I am able to send them pics via NFC but when they try to send me something instead of getting the pic, the google play store opens and then everything just kind of stops.
Anyone know the reason for this?
Thanks
Maybe because the s4 and touchwiz .. I've tried as well bro.. That's my only guess..

I thought that too but I figured if that was the case it would not let me send anything either. I can send but I just can't get anything back. Its also weird that it always opens the play store. Is there some kind of app I am supposed to have for this?
I don't think so... I'm really thinking it's cause touchwiz...

Works fine both ways between my phone and the Note II.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Whenever I try to play a video, it asks me which app to use.
But when I touch ALWAYS, it never remembers?
This happens to a lot of files, not just video.
I have a T-Mobile note 3 on 4.4.2.
My friend has a Verizon note 3 on 4.3 and she has the same issue too!

Mine does this for specific files, not all of them. Anything I try to open with Tapatalk won't stick.
Hi,
the default app feature doesn't work for most filetypes on either of my devices (S3, Note 3, Note 10.1 2014). Seems to be a Samsung bug?

Hi @Neo3D goto settings>>app manager tap menu and clear defaults. Now when ever it asks you for which app to run click always and I think this will save them as default apps.

One of your installed apps seems to be resetting the default selection that you have chosen. I've had this issue one time.

Mine's been doing it since the reset, even before I installed any apps....
ever since KK, WiFi passwords disappear and it has nothing to do with restarting, i even cleaned cache/dalvik just to see if that is doing it, nope...
Then the Active Apps widget, it is not really accurate in 3rd party launchers, especially if they have the feature to lock the homescreen, many times it shows 8 apps open, and not more then two are shown on the list.
For wifi passwords i used this method.. Second Post

This only happens when a new simular app is installed or when using a new file not associated.

If you had paired SW2 before with other smartphone please do to Settings and reset settings of smartwatch. It worked for me.

So after flashing a new rom you just open gear manager, it scans finds and connects? I wonder why mine isnt. I have turned Bluetooth on and off from the watch...any idea?
