Crap, I have exactly the same issue, did you get it resolved?
Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

Mine too. Suddenly decided after a week to continually disconnect from phone. Get a message saying 'unfortunately smartwatch 2 had stopped working'. Tried every reset. Annoyingly it works fine on my wife's galaxy s4. Really hope it's not the z1 that's knackered! Returning on Monday.

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...
I have exactly the same issue. I have tried multiple phones, but no dice..... cant reset it from tools as cant get past the clock screen. Going to try to update the fw and see what happens

Since it is still under warranty I filled out an online request for service. They emailed me a shipping label and I sent it off to Plano, TX on Saturday. The status today says "Replaced LCD" and now it's back in the mail to me. We'll see...

No. I actually fixed it today. There was a recent firmware update on the watch and one of the custom watchfaces that I had previously installed must've been causing the problem. I did multiple factory resets, but I keep trying to keep the watchfaces that I had already downloaded...that wasn't resolving the issue. I did a complete factory reset today and wiped out all the custom watchfaces and the problem disappeared. I'm happy now!! Thanks Mikoube for your help!!
You're welcome
Hello! I'm having the exact same issue. Can you explain what you did to fix it? Did you erase all the downloaded faces and then do a hard factory reset? Or vise versa? I'm at work right now and would love to achieve your same results since it happened 2 hours after my Warranty expired ??.
Here's how I fixed mine: Sent it back for repair. Waited a week. Received a fixed watch.

Hey shinta,
The fact is that one off your watchface is causing trouble to tizen. So Try to make a full factory reset. It should solve your issue.
So i got these same lines on my device lastnight. It is mainly noticable when I turn on Aod. I dont want to bother with rma on a 2 month old device if this is going to fix itself. I tryed a few resets and its still there now. I dont mind waiting a few days though.
edit:
My gear s2 screen is working fine now. It only had the lines for 3 days. I will keep a close eye on it though and update if it returns.
Same issue, I did factory reset and deleted all downloaded Wacho faces . Still the problem!

The bands were back a few weeks ago... I figured that when I set the brightness to "1", the band are little and when I put on "10", they are bigger.
So I tried to let the watch during 1 day with a brightness of "1". The day after all band were gone...
Hope this can help some of you guys.
Enjoy.
Same problem with the screen of mi gear fit 2 band, resolved only changing the screen

Same problem here, I turned it on, and it was fine, then I UPDATED a few apps and faces and lost network, after that the problem started, so I belive its a software issue and not hardware, could be coincidence, its a month old watch...
My watch is 5 months old and I just have this problem last night
Sound stop randomly in facebook,youtube,deezer etc. When stop all speaker sounds stop include calls and nottifications. In security mode problem persisted and factory reset not solve. Hardware problem or a gapp conflict?

I had the same issue a few times. Music stops, and if I click pause and play again, it just plays for a milisecond, and then silence again. I wanted to write here about that issue, but it happened 3-4 times in two months. Closing and opening the app which was playing sound solves the problem for me.
I've flashed a newer stock rom in odin, but the bug was still present. But that's definitely a software bug, samsung should know about it.

Try installing south east europe rom, XXU1BPH1 version, it didn't happen to me since that (august) update
Or if u are tired of flashing, send it to samsung, very stupid flaw, I agree!

I have the XXU1BPH1. The phone install september security update but nothing new. I believe the solution is send for rma but i think its a hard problem to solved. Samsung guys reset phone and test two minutes and its ok. Maybe with nougat problem its solved but the update come far away.
Did anyone find a solution for this problem, or contacted Samsung? It's very annoying, and it started happening to me very often.

Nothing. My go two times for warranty with videos for the problem and only restore factory settings and problem persists.
I can't believe it. I mean, that's a major bug if U ask me. I've heard that many people have the same issue. I'll contact samsung about it, maybe the nougat update fill fix it, but who knows when that will come.

It didn't happen to me for a month or more after a reset. So I guess it would be good to wait some time
But keep us updated here, if it's really whatsapp that's causing problems, at least we know who to blame!
Forget the whatsapp. I found the problem in my. Its hardware. Finally i have a way to show in store the problem. Try play a song or youtube video and apply pressure on back of the phone down the camera. Try in yours and tell me something

Mine show me running session when i'm still on chair. Factory reset no works for me...
Mine gave me 40 hours of normal use and was only at 50% so I'm not complaining. Weather works better too.
Mine keeps telling me to get off my ass and get active. Kind of hard to do while sitting at a computer writing lines of code. Then it gets excited when I blow my nose as it thinks I'm exercising. Go figure...

Where do you do that? In Gear Manager? A specific app? I must be overlooking it!
Go to SHealth on the watch apps; scroll all the way over to Settings, then turn off Health Nudges. That should do it.
Never would have found it as I've never actually fired up that on the watch. Thanks! :good:
Has anyone else experienced issues using a chromecast with their honor 8?
It used to consistently work flawlessly with my Galaxy S5, but since I've switched casting has been very buggy.
Finding the chromecast is usualy the first issue, half the time when I go to cast no devices show up.
Mostly frustrating is after something is casting I lose volume control when I am outside that specific all. Before I could toggle the volume on my TV from any screen and it showed the slider along with the phone media and ringer volume. It also seems to disconnect from the chromecast quite a bit as well. Sometimes ending the cast, but usually I'll have to close the app and reconnect in order to be able to control it again.
I've tried factory resetting my chromecast and never used guest mode, not sure what's causing the problems.
Anyone know of any possible solutions?
I have been having the same issues.
Phone just can't see the chrome cast.
Would be good if anyone has any solutions ??

I can't even get BBC iPlayer to cast so there is definitely some thing wrong.

you were totally right
everything is back to normal after a factory reset
and it didn't took too much time.
backed up apps with the honor software and it wasn't that long. just the apps not the settings to be sure to not recreate the problem if it was caused by another app.
thanks a lot.
i'll inform some guys in the french forum that had the same probelm

I do not remember authorizing any updates, but this started last year in December. And I did have it set to auto update. I had called Samsung support they told me my battery was shot and they could replace it and since my warrenty was expired it would be almost 200.00. So the watch has been sitting since then.
