Ok I just got the watch and had major issues with the first one so I exchanged it.. This one works alot better but it appears it can't keep a connection, it says it connected but some apps stop being able to communicate. Like the phone finder app will show that's it's loading then it just does nothing...

I´ve got the same issue with a Xperia Z1 compact (Android 4.3)
Sometimes it also looses connection and cannot reconnect until rebooted (the watch rebooted!)
Anyone else?

OK so the issue started when impaired my headset to my phone also, even though that headset isn't on the watch stopped wanting to connect. Just unpaired it and the watch connected again

Hrmm... I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here except to mention that I am running the SW2 with a Nexus 5 as well and I frequently connect a bluetooth headset at the same time and I haven't run into any bluetooth connection issues so far. I've had the watch for 2-3 months now, I do remember having to update the firmware once when I first got it... perhaps reset the watch and check to see if you have the latest firmware?
I have problems like this too. This watch seems to have interference issues. My bluebuds X constantly disconnect when I'm on a call with my SW2 connected. Worst part is they never make a sound, I just stop hearing my caller, and I eventually check the phone and see they've been dropped to the headset and I've been talking to myself.
Music also disconnects the headphones occasionally, but it's not frequently enough for it to be a big problem. Calls on the other hand disconnect like every 30 seconds.
Update: I no longer blame my SW2 for this issue. They headphones disconnect when the watch is not connected. The phone disconnects from other A2DP devices. I'm blaming my phone now.

Are you running stock ROM and kernel or custom? I am running SlimRom and stock kernel and have no issues keeping the watch connection with a LG Tone+ headset.

For me, disable and enable BT is the workaround.

With the Android 4.4 update problem has gone.
Same for me, my watch disconnect ... from my Nexus 5
But the last Android version (of course, it's the Nexus) doesn't solve anything.
I hope a lot has been done with the following SW2 firmware to solve this issue.
My wife was having disconnect issues as well using MIUI rom, then she moved to CM and no more issues
Sent from my KFAPWI using Tapatalk
I have the same issue, BT-connection suddenly drops out, mostly after some notifications happen within a short period of time, after which only a reboot of the watch gets it going again. So to me it looks very much like a watch-problem, not like a phone related.
I have same problem.
On phone it looks like connected but on watch is not. When tried to turn off bluetooth my phone reboots itself.
Start to happen after last update, my first tough was sth wrong with my rom. Reinstalled my rom, still same. Finally returned to stock and problem persist.
As it happen after last update it looks is related. Yesterday I got smartwach update but not resolved.
Using with Sony SP.

I am really getting tired of my bluetooth headset not staying connected. Has anyone been able to figure out why both the Infuse and now my Skyrocket both lose their connection to my bluetooth headset during the day? It will connect to it (manually) no problem in the morning but after awhile it just loses the connection to my device? No ryhme or reason and the only way to get it back working again is to turn BT off/on again. Is the BT hardware in the phone just a piece of dog poo or what?

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but has anyone come up with a solution to this recently? I've been having similar problems recently. When I turn bluetooth on sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't turn on. I have to restart the phone. This has been happening more and more recently.
If it has something to do with the 2.3.6 update, is there a way to roll back to 2.3.5?
Wait, there was an update to 2.3.6? Did you get that OTA or is that from an alternate ROM? Mine is showing as up to date at 2.3.5 running stock.

I got it OTA about a month ago. Apparently AT&T pulled it, though.
Honestly, I see no difference between the two.
I have given up on Bluetooth with this phone! I actually went and bought a decent set of wired headphones incase I need to use them to talk handsfree.
On a more pleasant note (Lol) my new Galaxy Note is superb on my Jawbone and my car. Nice to use Bluetooth in the car again.
The skyrocket definitely has a Bluetooth issue. I had it before and after the 2.3.6 update.

BTW, where does one typically go to file a complaint? Would I go to AT&T or Samsung? They have probably heard of this issue already, but I figure one more person reminding them wouldn't hurt.

Is everyone having bluetooth issues in an LTE area? I think the first time I noticed this problem was around the time LTE was turned on in LA... or after the 2.3.6 update. Since people w/o the update are having the problem.. maybe it's related to LTE?
I started a similar thread a while back, but the mods moved it to accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342831
There are definitely BT issues with this phone. I returned two because of the BT failing completely. So far so good with the two I have now. Some BT devices work better with this phone, but some don't work at all; it's very picky about what devices it works with. I have the Motorola HX550 headset, it works pretty well with that. Mine does not work well with Blueant, Jawbone, Motorola H17s or HX1s. The Blueant and Jawbone headsets worked, but voice dialing sucked because volume on confirmations was too low to be heard.
It's not LTE related; we have no LTE where I live. It's also not 2.3.6 related.

For some weird reason, I can't make calls go through my car's bluetooth.
AD2P(music streaming) works just fine, but calls it won't even ring through my car speakers.
This wasn't the case with my Blackberry, Sensation or Vibrant, so I know the car isn't at fault here
I can make calls but it drops them after about 20 seconds, i cant seem t remedy it either.

Mine works fine with my bluetooth handsfree from Nokia in my car, but unfortunately the one on the other end of the call hears his/her own voice (like an echo).
I have never had any issues with that handsfree with the phones I've used before (HTC One X, Galaxy SII, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS)!
N I'm guessing you guys are running stock?
Nope, actually running TrickDroid 5.0, but I also had the issue on stock ROM...
hmm.. interesting. I have been having issues, but not the same ones. and its not all the time. but i can usually make a call ok with my BT headset, but when streaming music (any app) with a2dp, i get cuts and stops almost all the time. i am rooted, and have tried it on several roms. i cannot recreate the probelm everytime, but it doesnt seem to be signal related as it has happened on wifi as well. strange
it's htc rom issue. every htc rom i have tried have this problem including syncing my address book with my car. aokp and cm9 builds don't have this issue for some reason

Hello!
Please help me if you can!
I have problems with connection of bluetooth headset! I have an other HTC Phone (Desire Z - 2.3.6.) and using multipoint headset (Jawbone ERA and Motorola HX1).
My problem that randomly (without any reason) disconnect from my One S the bluetooth headset (de Desire Z still connected without any problem). If i turn off and on the BT on the phone is not reconnect, if i try manually (from the menu) reconnect, can't connect.
Here coming some weired thing too...if this happen my Motorola turn off and on, and reconnect without any problem. But if i try to this with the Jawbone nothing happening, the only way to reconnect if i wait half an hour or reboot my phone or if i re-pair.
I pretty sure that this problem is cause the phone, but i dont know why.
I have JB 3.16.111.10 fw T-mobile (DE) CID: TMOB101.
Have anybody idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

Hello everyone.
So, the wifi problem on my N5 goes back some time ago; it happened for the first time about 2 weeks after i got it, middle november i'd say:
i always keep my wifi connected while at home and sometimes it just refuses to send data anymore. The signal bar doesn't drop, but the data just stops working. I don't remember what i did the first time it happened, but it just started working as intented after a few days.(I was on 4.4.4 back then).
Now I'm on 5.0.1 and it had been working right for some time, until 2 days ago i unplugged my router then plugged it back it. Later that day I noticed the issue is back. I have absolutely no idea what to do about it and it is irritating as hell.
Did any of you guys experience this before? If so, how did you fix it?
Also, is it possible that this is a driver issue on the phone side? All my other devices work just fine on wireless.
Thanks!

you may also try forgetting your network and re-logging back in. also check the wifi frequency band and of course rebooting your router can’t hurt.

I tried all that but with no success. I think the router might be the issue since it does have some glitches where it loses connectivity and it fixes after a reboot. I'll try with another router and report after.

I have done a full factory reset on my phone due to this issue, and it still happens. It doesn't just happen at home either, it happens everywhere I go. I am assuming at this point that it is a bug in 5.0/5.0.1 and hopefully it will be fixed in 5.0.2 (if the N5 ever see's this update).
If anyone has had any luck with this bug, please let me know.
I'm having the same issues. I'm now on my 4th router in as many months and I can't figure this out after testing just about every possible configuration of channels, frequencies and settings. We have about 10 devices connected in my home and the Nexus 5 is the only device with this problem. I'm at the point now that I just use LTE at home.
Yeah it's a 5.0.1 issue, if you've found your way to XDA you should try a custom ROM. Most are branched from the aosp 5.0.2 commits.

Actually, both the wifi and bluetooth is bugged and keep scanning nearly all times and battery draining quick. I guess some may also experienced wifi and bluetooth disconnection because of this.
My Pebble loses its pairing to my S6 occasionally. Very annoying. Hopefully its fixed in the next firmware update for the S6.
Had the same issue since I got the phone early April.
I was really loving my G Watch R until the S6 has totally ruined the experience. Worked perfectly with my HTC M8.
I know there's a minor update coming v soon which supposedly fixes the messed up RAM management issue. Hopefully it'll fix this incredibly poor Bluetooth issue too. I'm actually surprised a flagship phone got through quality control without them noticing bluetooth and ram management are so badly screwed up.
If they don't fix it, then I'll be even more annoyed if it's true that LG won't enable the wifi on the watch.

Didn't fix sh** on my watch. The first few hours was a false dawn. I have the phone on a desk next to my laptop and within 10cm of my watch and it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sometimes the phone just will not reconnect and the only way I can reconnect is by turning bluetooth off and back on.
Totally ruined my experience of my watch. Feel like just taking it off now as it's become useless, hoping the latest Android Wear update whenever it comes for the G Watch R may fix the issue but that's wishful thinking as I'm convinced it's a Samsung issue as I had zero issues on my M8.
I use my S6 and my Gear S all the time, never have any issues.
My Tmobile S6 has started doing this again. It did it about a month ago so I did a factory reset which cured it, until yesterday. Now its started again, seemingly out of the blue. Nothing has changed for anything, yet its doing it again. Anyone find a real cure for this? On 5.1.1.
My AT&T S6 still has this issue, any know how to resolve this issue???
I use a moto360 (1st gen). Same issue. Only solution that works for me is a reboot of the phone. The disconnects happen on all my devices, so my car (2015 mercedes) and heartrate monitor (Scosche) have disconnects as well. Therefore this has to be a problem with the S6 itself. Maybe it's not very happy with a 24x7 connection with the watch, as this issue seems to only/mostly affect Android Wear users.
I wish there was an autoreboot app that could reboot the phone every night.
