[Sw2] Disconnecting once a minute

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.

Strange Bluetooth issue

Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

Sounds like u need to swap it out for a replacement. Never had an issue unless using custom kernals.

Weird...
My M8 should be here today and I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed3. I hope this isn't an issue with all of them. Although, my MS3 has a long history of it's bluetooth not getting along with HTC phones.

Did you have any issues?

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.

having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM

I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

[Q] Gear 2 on Note 3 Lollipop not reconnecting

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?

No connection to LG G Watch since 6.0 update.

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.

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.

Bluetooth drop out and connectivity

Hi All,
Im using my gear S2 with a Samsung galaxy A3 phone. I seem to be having a lot of issues with the watch reverting back to standalone mode and not connecting over BT. Anyone experiencing similar issues? I've tried all the usual things - restarting both devices, toggling BT etc. Every once in a while it syncs properly via BT but then drops out again within a day or two.
I had a search through the forums but couldn't find note of a similar issue. I'd be pretty happy with the watch if I could sort this issue out. Any help would be appreciated. cheers
Brett

Hey all, this issue still happens. Occasionally restarting my phone works to resolve the issue. Another quirk is that smart lock still keeps working even though the watch is apparently in standalone mode...When I use the gear app it says the watch is disconnected and then fails on attempt to reconnect.
So now I have to restart my phone every day to keep the two synced when it drops out.
Any ideas, perhaps there is a secondary app I could use to do an auto restart on the BT or the like?

Similar issue as well.
Mine is a bit different. Any time I go outside of BT range, and come by my Gear S2 doesn't automatically reconnect. It will stay in remote mode until I manually go into the Gear App, disconnect and then reconnect.
Same thing happens if I do it again as well.
I suspect something is going on with the re-activation lock feature. I did not have this issue prior to setting it up. I do need to do a bit more investigating before I point out the cause.

Chiming in that I'm experiencing similar issues after the most recent software update running version R730VVRU1BPC1. I have it paired with a Galaxy S7 and there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it drops. I just get a little vibration notification.

Same issue after last update on Note4.
Same issue aflter last update for S2 - Classic
So i hoped the update for the watch my change anything... it doesn't... by Bluetooth from phone is either turning off or disconnects from watch like every 5 minutes

I had the same issue. I dont use my watch extensively away from my phone but around te house it will get out of BT range and go into remote mode. once i return to near the phone, it wont reconnect to BT.
I solved this on the watch. Under settings-connections-mobile networks i set it to automatic.
this seems to have solved the reconnect to bluetooth issue. im not sure about how all the functionality works when away from the phone but it seems something you might want to experiment with.
