Hi all,
I've just got my Sw2 and I'm using it with my Z (4.3). It keeps disconnecting. I was using CM11 just fine and went back to 4.3 (stock) to solve my problem with no succes at all. Stil disconnecting.
I have the latest software, no other choice. And even with no extra apps installed it reconnects allot.
I've read about LG users having issues but Sony is marketing the watch for my Z, it should at least connect
Anyone else has this problem?
It's unusable....
Edit:
When connecting to Sony Update, it updates every time. I dont know if this is normal or my SW2 is DOA and won't save the update. After de SW2 update and connecting it updates again trough the phone.
"When the SW2 disconnected, touch "home" and "setup" then "apps". The apps installed will be loaded on to the screen, and you will have the problem solved." -Maxels on SE forum
Worked for me. Tried everything. Roms, settings, apps, phones.
See if it lasts. I hate having 0 logging on the phone :/
For me to disable Google search apk helped. Don't know if related but since I did it my watch stopped disconnect randomly. I think is some Sony memory management problem. I have Sony SP, stock 4.3.

Bluetooth Auto Connect apk from play store will fix all the blue tooth frequent disconnections. I was quite frustrated with my sw2 until I found that apk. Hit thanks if this post helped you in anyway.

Since the update, my SW2 seems to be incapable of playing nicely with any other Bluetooth-enabled devices. If I am in an area where it is just my phone (LG G2 running KK) and the watch, everything works just fine. But if my phone connects to something else via BT, for example my car stereo or BT headphones), the watch will immediately disconnect and the only way to reestablish a connection is to power cycle the watch.
I'm trying to determine if this is a problem with the firmware update or simply a matter of a problem between phone's BT firmware and the watch. Anyone else have the same issue?
I don't face this problem. I've used 2 BT headphones models without any issue.

Before the update I had zero connection problems. After the update my SW2 constantly disconnects and sometimes reconnects, other times I have reconnect by going through smart connect and un-pairing/re-pairing to power cycle the watch. I have tried disabling apps and even removing all apps and resetting all to no avail. This is extremely frustrating because my fancy new expensive piece of tech is 99% useless . Also I have ZERO bluetooth devices on in the area besides the SW2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to flash and/or format the SW2? I tried SUS(sony update service) which USED to have the SW2 in it with a repair option but they have since removed the SW2 in the latest version 2.14.6.2014170858.

I have the same problem with my new sw2 firm: 1.0.B.4.154 and my sgs4 standard ROM .If You find some solutions for this problem please wright how make this.
Question: does any of you guys use the 'watchwidgets' app?
I had disconnection problems too only while using the clock widgets from this app.
As soon as I removed it all went back to normal.
I'd strongly suggest a connectivity test without the use of any 3rd party screen candy, at least for a day, maybe it'll help you find the culprit.

I think the problem is on te watch because i try for four different phone with only 1 aplication for smw2 is smart watch connection
i think about loading Rom for watch but i don't now how.
It sounds like a watch problem indeed... can't you go to Sony with it? If you're still under warranty maybe they'll change it...
As for a watch ROM...there isn't any, as far as I am aware.

Same issues here. Mix of roms. With some roms all seams fine for a while. It always ends up with disconnects. I'm trying to find a reason. Mix of software and hardware. Coudl you post the HW version of your SW?
I have the same problem after update ... GT I8530

Hi,
I have a strange issue that only seems to affect my Gear 2 - everything else on Lollipop seems OK.
I am running the leaked stock ROM N9005XXUGBNL8 - rooted. I have also loaded the latest Gear Manager - 2.2.14112899.
When I turn on the watch or Phone, the devices connect correctly, and everything seems to work well. My problem is when I move out of range. The watch shows that the Bluetooth disconnects, but the phone still thinks that it is connected. When i move back into range, the phone and watch remain disconnected unless I manually reconnect by turning the phones Bluetooth off and then on again.
I have reloaded both the phone and watch, but still have the same issue. Sine the Lollipop ROM has not yet been formally released, I cannot ask Samsung for help, so if anyone can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Richard
Hello,
I have the same problem with note 3 lollipop and gear 2.
I hope there will be a fix when lollipop arrives officially.
Best regards

Thanks for the reply - at least I am not alone in this and that I am not imagining he issue
I also similar issue. Sometimes it reconnects automatically and other times I should manually reconnect from the Gear Manager.
Lets wait for the final Lollipop release
I am also facing the same problem. I reloaded the gear application twice and also flashed the ROM again after factory resetting the Note 3 but no change. Hope will get the solution soon.
Facing similar problem. After latest update of Note4 (still 4.4.4) watches not reconnect and bluetooth switches off. To manually reconnect i need to press "connect" in watches AND in gear manager. If i just turn on bluetooth watches connects and instantly disconnects turning bluetooth off.
The Gear Manager today updated to 2.2.15011799.
I do not know if this has improved matters yet, but will post if it does.
Update,
Seems to disconnect OK, but will not reconnect automatically. I don't know what is wrong with Samsung, but this really hampers the use of the watch.
After the update today, it works perfectly now!
It seems, the gear manager was the bad guy!
Best regards

Still does not really work for me. I need to toggle bluetooth on the phone after a disconnect, but not every time.
Next day the same problems. But the gear is now faster connecting and transferring data. Before the update the gear taken 20 or 30 seconds to sync the calendar app. Now it's open Instantly.

Had the same problem as well but downloaded "bluetooth auto connect" from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en and this seems to have resolved the bluetooth connectvity problem. My gear 2 connects everytime.
Good luck

I recently updated Gear Manager on my Note 3 running the leaked Lollipop 5.0. ALthough my gear 2 and manager works I have noticied that the Gear (watch) Icon which normally appears on the top left of the screen is no longer there. The gear notification messgae is still there. Anybody with a similiar issue?
Same here.
Also tried the Bluetooth auto connect, but this does not seem to work. Can you share the settings you used?
Thanks

I have noticed some more detail:
When i go out of range, the watch disconnect but often, the phone still seems to think the watch is connected. However, when I check the phones bluetooth setting, the watch is connected, but the Phone Audio is disabled. Occasionally, only a reboot will cure this.
I have also spotted several other issues relating to Bluetooth and Lollipop on the XDA forums, such as intermittent connection to Car phone systems, which I have also noticed. I am beginning to suspect that the main problem here is with the Lollipop bluetooth rather than specifically with the Gear. The ensd result is the same - a system that does not work correctly that should be supported and fixed by Samsung.
I have just upgraded the room to the Polish ROM released yesterday and carried out a factory reset.
I still have the same issues. It seems fairly clear that the phone does not recognise that the phone goes out of range and so status connected.
Given Up
I have given up and reverted to the Stock KitKat ROM. Guess what? everything now works.
I don't think that Android 5 is ready yet - will now wait for 5.1
Search for S6 apps (it is on in xda-developers forum as well). There is a version of the Gear Manager that solves the reconnect issue. I tested it shortly and it works on official lollipop for Note3.
EDIT: After some reboots, recconects are not working properly again.
Any news on how to solve this guys? Same problem here...

Hello every body,
I've the same problem with my N9005 under Lollipop.
Problem with bluetooth reconnection of my Gear S.
And for me I've another problem, my phone reboot several time per day, maybe due of this problem.
Do you face this problem too?
Hi!
This is the problem with me too! Not reconnecting. Do you have any solutions?
Hey guys,
2 days ago I updated my German z5 due pcc to Android 6.0. Since that I'm facing issues with my smartwatch. Directly after the update, I didn't get any connection to my watch again. I tried do reset the watch and installed android wear app new. Luckily the first connection is always possible, but after first setup I´m not able to connect again. Does anyone has another hint, then reset my z5 like the support of Sony did? I don´t have the feeling, that a reset would, because it is obviously a Bluetooth issue. Thanks for any help and see the screenshot attached. The screenshot shows, how android wear is always stopping when trying to get a connection.
Update:
Yesterday something strange happened. I settled my watch the whole day in it's loading station and in the evening I saw, that my watch was muted like my phone was. When I opened up android wear, I saw my watch was connected, also every app was synced. So I started to install some new wear app and the all get synced. But when I pulled up my watch from the loading station, the connection immediately got lost and until now, I'm not able to connect again. Now I'm pretty sure it is an Bluetooth bug, coming with the android 6.0 update of my z5.

Completely remove the device, then re-add it and set as trusted device

So I have been reading about and there are loads of bluetooth issues with Marshmallow even with googles own Nexus devices I know it's not going to help you... http://ausdroid.net/2015/11/17/google-working-fix-nexus-6p-bluetooth-issues/ so I think google need to understand what the problem is a provide a fix for the other manufacturers to include.
My best guess is bluetooth is not behaving nicely in the new google ART cache which is supposed to fully replace delvik in Marshmallow.
Hi
I would like to ask if anyone has the same problem than me, I have a Sony Smartwatch 1, today is not so good, but solve my requirement.
I recently upgrade my Asus Padfone S Plus from android 5 to 6.0.1 and in this moment most of the apps stop working in my watch, because I am a smart ass, I think reinstalling all the apps will solve the problem, but... really mess up the apps that was working, and now only displays the time and show the missed calls (any other app or function is not working in the clock).
When I download a Smartwatch app in my phone, if appear in the Sony Smartwatch app, appear in the watch, but did not work (all the screen is black when enter to the app), and with other apps, even do not appear in the Smartwatch app.
I know that is an old watch, but i would like to know if its time to replace this sonys scrap....
Thanks.
Lg magna android 6.0.1 works just fine. Try factory reset and so on.

Morning all.
I Have just purchased a second hand SW2 and I'm having big problems getting it to work with my rooted (6.0.1) Z2.
I've installed Smart connect and the Smartwatch 2 app.
I cant get call handling to work. Have uninstalled it and reinstalled it but nothing comes through to the phone.
I'v installed Messaging and that kind of works. I can see messages sometimes, but even then I cant reply and I can only get to see recent messages by turning bluetooth off n back on.
The weather app again works when it wants too.
Is this how it is or am I missing something stuppidly simple ??????
Thanks
I use specific Handling app and another for SMS
