SW 2 Bluetooth Problem?

Hi,
I've got yesterday sw2. It is really cool, but sometimes i have problem with bluetooth. Sw2 seems to be connected with phone, but when i start some app, it is loading, but this app don't start. I must restart my watch and then everything works fine, but then when i don't use it for a while it didn't want start against. I am using nexus 5 with custom rom. Where can be a problem?

I am having the same problem. Also a nexus 5 with custom rom. Maybe this is a nexus issue?
Which kernel are you running on the phone.

I am using latest Droidkang rom with stock cm kernel.

Some times I will clear phone's RAM to temporarily resolve this problem.

Any ideas anyone? I have the same problem on stock 4.3 on HTC One Max. It drives me nuts ^^

Stock Nexus 5 has no such issue so I'd start with the kernel /ROM bluetooth compatability. Certain apps seem to lose their state occasionally I've noticed. They generally just need to be closed and reopened though. No reboot has been necessary.

Difficulty with MediaTek devices
I have a Wiko Stairway, which is built on MediaTek platform. Pairing is difficult but possible. I don't know whose fault it is, MediaTek or Sony or both?
Still I find it awkard that I have to install 10MB of Sony software just to establish a faulty connection.
My workaround:
Pair the devices without installing the Smart Connect suite
Install Smart Connect and restart watch
Start Smart Connect and wait a while. It should now find the watch and prompt for installing the add-on
Turn bluetooth off and on on both devices
It should now work
Problem is that every now and then the connection is dropped and you may have to toggle bluetooth on either watch or phone or both. Even sometimes a restart is required.

A work around might be to see if force closing the app 'bluetooth share' temporary resolves the issue. If that's the case you could set up a tasker task to kill bluetooth share every 8 hours or so. You might need a plug-in to properly kill bluetooth share with tasker.

SW2 on mediatek devices

Hi,
I have a Alcatel one touch scribe HD (4.2.1) wich is a mediatek based divice.
I can't get my SW2 to connect with my phone for longer then 1 minute. Smart connect says its still connected but the watch is not responding if i change a watchface with smart connect. If i install a new app it doesnt come trough on the watch.
I have scanned the whole internet for a solution but with no luck. I did read that SW2 is not very compatible with mediatek devices.
Is there a solution for this problem? IOr shall i return the watch and go for a Pebble?

Sony SW2 Won't work with Nexus 6

Hey guys
I used to have my Xperia Z and the SW2 was working perfectly fine. I bought my Nexus 6 since 3 days and tried to connect it to the SW2, it connects but I can't use the SW2 app.
Also I have added it in the trusted devices on the N6 but still doesn't work. I have installed the SW2 app but couldn't find it on my menus so went to check it in my installed apps, it was there and working fine, also went to the play store to check it again but it was giving me the option to uninstall it only, there is no option to open the app where I can browse the extensions installed on the watch or change the watch faces. So has anyone had this problem?? I need your help.

You need to install also smart connect app from sony and from there pair the watch and launch the smartwatch app

Hey mate
You are a LEGEND and thanks for your reply, sorry I forgot to mention that I do have the smart connect app is installed . You just opened my eyes to try resetting the watch and once I have done that it did pair with the N6. Appreciate your reply buddy.

Honor 6 L04 and Sony Smartband SWR10 "no connection"

Hi,
i am trying to connect both devices, but the Smartband is not shown under android bluettoth settings. Unfortunately the Honor 6 L04 does not have NFC. But i doubt this would help.
I tried following things.
With the Apps "BLE Scanner" or "Bluetoth LE Scanner" i can find and connect the smartband. The apps say that its connected and the Smartband acts like it is connected (LED's).
Unfortuantely the Smartband Settings can only be accesed via Sony SmartConnect, but i cannot start Smartband Settings since it's not connected via android blueetooth menu.
I tried "adb shell am start -a com.sonyericsson.extras.SETTINGS" and the smartband settings menu appears, but status says its not connected.
Smartband is working (naturally) with a Sony Xperia Z and my Lenovo Yoga Tab 2.
Any ideas?

I found out that the Smartband settings are also accesible via Sony Lifelogger. Don't need adb shell method. Not connected either.
Also "BLE Scanner" says connected, but not bonded. "Bluettoth LE Scanner" says BLE Supported, connected but unbonded.

No suggestions everyone how to isolate the problem?
I would be very grateful.

I have no Sony Smartband but I have a Pebble and a Moto360.
I had big trouble to transfer Weather Data from my Huawei (H60-L02 rooted) to Pebble. And or Weather and location Data from my Huawei to Moto360.
The devices where connected well - and everything seems fine. But after a few hours - no Weather Data no location Data.
All settings in "Telefonmanager" check: StartUp Programs ok, Notification ok, Trusted Apps ok...
Nothing helps.
No I have freezed the "Telefonmanager" with titanium Backup. Everything is working perfect now!
The Problem with loss notifications from WhatsApp are history now
If your Device is rooted - try to freeze this App - and test again. I think this app will cut or prevent connections

Hi JimKnopf13.
I am not rooted at the moment, and i want to stay unrooted as long as possible for various reasons (warranty, etc).
My problem is that under bluetooth settings the smartbans is not shown/listed and that it is not bonded (with the Bluetooth BLE tools). Your's is that the connection is not reliable. Can you explain why i should freeze the "Phone Manager"? What's the connection between the two different cases?

ok, then it is a different thing.
I can see my Pebble and my Moto in the bluetooth settings. I can connect.
Only later, I think when the phone enter the sleep mode - all Data from Weather provider are blocked.
When I freeze the telefonmanager - everything working well.

Any developers here that can sched a light at this topic?

Question Watch aren't connected to the phone in Galaxy Wearable app.

Hello,
I bought recently Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm and I have problem with Galaxy Wearable app, after I set everything up all was running correctly. The problem shows, after I turn off bluetooth on watch or phone. When I try to reconnect over bluetooth it shows in bluetooth settings that watches are paired with phone but when I look into the app it says "Your watch isn't connected to your phone." when I click on connect it doesn't reconnect. I already tried to restart the phone or watch, clear cache and also reinstall the app and the plugin. My phone brand is Xiaomi and it should work with the watch.
Thank you for any advices.

Are you running MIUI? I know Xiaomi is very strict with the management of the permissions. Check permissions of the app in the phone, and do not optimize battery on this app. These are the two issues I can think of.

Try downloading Samsung Health and connecting your Galaxy Watch 4 via that app. I have heard that works best.

I don't know if I should open a new thread or not...
I have Galaxy Watch...2? (SM-R800) and PocoPhone running the MiUI. I have Glaxy Wear app and Watch2 "plugin" from the app store (that has no battery optimization options).
The watch disconnects and refuses to connect from the watch side. The only option to connect is to connect BT from the phone, and then connect via the Wear app. Connecting from Wear app alone is not successful.
Connecting like this will last me about half a day, then it's disconnected again.
I'm trying to create an Automate flow that reconnects BT and launches the "connect" activity of the Wear app. Problem is, I don't know which activity to launch.
Does anyone know Wear activities? Or another workaround to bypass MiUI draconic rule?
