it can take some time, especially if your phone is slow (or low memory) ...... try to wait more time (few minutes) before do something else
Thanks for your answer, but I've tried and does not work, I think it has to be something related to image transfer via bluetooth from my mobile. My smartphone is Huawei G600 u8950D, saying that if the other functions work properly, thanks

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

I'm not sure, could be a software bug of some sort.. You'll just have to wait and see if an update fixes it. Or your Bravia may be too old to connect to such a new phone, who knows..
I was playing with this yesterday on my Samsung Smart TV. If I selected screen mirroring on the TV nothing would happen. The s7 showed that I was connected to the TV and on the TV I could select media in source options to look at pics and home video. I found that with smart view app on s7 when I selected a movie to watch it automatically was displayed on the TV. Haven't tried mirroring games yet or just the home screen but that might need a different app than smart view. Hope this helps a bit

same thing happens to me. screen mirroring used to work. but i cant remember if it was before rooting or after. can it be the problem? still stock rom though
i think that it is a bug
i solved it. since i got my first android phone s2 and then s3 i experienced the same problem because i always rooted my phones. i also rooted my 27 and lost the screen mirroring and other features. then today i flashed the stock original firmware and everything is normal now. this bug, losing screen mirroring feature after rooting, is a big time problem that nobody can solve. if you need help you can check out this link as i did. you have to unroot it if you want to use those feature.

There is another way to solve this issue with Root:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0JqRf6sygM
(dont be irritated by the error message in this video ... it is working withe the "Failed to enable smart view. Error occured." message)
I tested it an a rooted 930F with custom recovery (didn't affect this but just wanted to mention) and the "Failed to enable smart view. Error occured." message . You can make smart view working again by adding the following line to the build.prop file:
Code:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
After adding this quick connect and smart view (basicly the same) are working like charm.
I hope I could help other people with this solution ... despite this thread is a little old.

This technology is a joke. It has so many bugs. Samsung is falling apart. Their latest phones and televisions are overpriced garbage. Although, it's difficult to find a tech-company that isn't full of **** these days. What happened, Samsung?? Why doesn't any of your stuff work anymore? Bait & switch?
---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------
Why does smart view only seem to work sporadically at best? I've got a brand new Samsung 8 series TV and a brand new Samsung S7. I can't say I'd recommend either device. Both were overpriced. Neither does what they said they'd do. Samsung doesn't seem to care. No help available.
I didn't root my S7 but I can't mirror the screen, just happen just one day and didn't work any more. Any idea? I have the rom stock from britain version with Android 7.0
Thanks for this fixing...
What about TV to Phone issue?
Is there anybody tried?

I know this is a few months old but make sure you reboot after editing the build.prop file. Did it yesterday and it worked fine.
Hi,
I'm bumping this old thread again as I haven't found a definite answer. I still have my S7 SM-G930F on stock MM/TW because I refuse to lose smartview functionality which works perfectly with my Samsung UN55H6350 on WiDi, (no Wifi needed). From what I have researched, Nougat update broke Smartview. Because It's reportedly never functioned the same since then, I have the below questions:
Does Smartview WiDi work on stock rooted MM/TW? WiDi functionality is essential to me. I stream phone content to my TV without WiFi most of the time. This is a deal breaker for me.
Does Smartview WiDi work on stock rooted Nougat/TW?
Are there any MM or Nougat Custom Roms where Smartview works over WiDi?
Thanks for reading, LMK if anything is unclear.
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.

It automatically restarts because it is designed to run in the background to monitor for updates and send you notifications related to WhatsApp. All social media apps do this.
