[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.

Huawei P8max and SBH52

Hello everyone!
Things go like this:
I just bought a P8max a week ago and I've been trying to make the SBH52 work properly with it since...
The story starts with me using the SBH52 with an LG G3, which worked absolutely perfect. When i paired it with the LG i just installed the Sony SBH52 app from google play and the Sony Connect app from google play. Nothing else was needed and everything worked absolutely perfect.
Now, on the P8max i did, at first, the same thing: installed the two apps from the google play market and paired the device, hoping to be able to use it just like before with the LG.
First i noticed that the phone wasn't pushing notifications anymore to the device, so it didn't notify me about the new messages and new calendar events. The phone call log was working fine and I could see the numbers and names of the people on the call log, and also call back and answer. I can also see the music playlist from the phone and play the music, skip songs and all that crap.
Since the notification pushing was not working, i downloaded from google play the extensions of the SBH52 software - sms extension, calendar etc. and tried with that, but nothing worked.
Next thing, I called Sony support and the only thing i was able to get out of that woman that answered the phone was that the device has Bluetooth 3.0 and the following bluetooth profiles:
· Handsfree profile (HFP) v1.6
· Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) v1.2
· Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) v1.4 – Control and Target role
And that I should try to contact Huawei to see if the phone is compatible or has the above profiles.
So that I did! Called Huawei support and they told me the A2DP came as standard with the phone, but they didn't know if the phone had the HFP and the AVRCP, and they'd call me back and tell me if the phone has them or if there was a possibility to install (?!) them on the phone.
So here I come to you and ask, to the profiles exist on the phone, is there a possibility to make my SBH52 work properly with the P8max?!
Also, I forgot to mention that the device disconnects often from the device and i have to unlock the device, start the SBH52 app (even if its running in the background) push the "call answer" button on the SBH52 and THEN it pairs again.
Help?!!
Thanks in advance,
Silvio

OK , I just purchased the international version and seem to have it working with the SBH52. Make sure the Sony apps are not blocked from remaing in memory in the protected section in settings. That's what solved for me.

Ok, did what you said, now it seems to keep the connection up. That one good thing, thank you for the advice.
The remaining problem of the notifications is not solved though. Does your SBH52 show notifications - new text messages and calendar reminders?
Thanks!

You might have to enable notifications access to the apps

Sony SW 1 not working after upgrade to Android 6.0.1

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.

Android Nougat and the Gear S2, does it work?

Hi all,
I wanted to let you guys know that the Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic both work on Android 7.0 Nougat
I'm using a Oneplus One running 7.0.
The point I tried to connect the watch my phone denied it and told be connection couldn't be made.
After turning the Bluetooth on and off again I was able to connect my Gear S2 with my phone (Probably a ROM bug)
[Improvements]
Everything seems to work fine and I even saw improvements.
Since Android Nougat I am able to see pictures of whatsapp messages, I wasn't able to do that on Marshmallow.
[Bugs]
There is 1 bug, I'm not sure if it's my ROM or the compatibility.
When I browse through my quick launch apps I see the messaging app, the app to send and receive Sms with.
I never saw this app on Marshmallow and it worked!
The app isn't available in the application list, only in the quick launch widget.
Too bad, after adding the app the widget will reset itself or the messaging app disappear from the quick launch widget after a certain time.
You can re-add it and use it, it's just an annoying bug.
[So, does it work?]
Yes, The S2 as well as the apps you need (S health included) works fine, no problems at all so far.
And if I will find one, I will post it here.

Hi, is your device encrypted? I'm planning on buying the s2..but grew hesitant after reading that encrypted phones are having synchronization issues.
(Btw i'm on nexus 6p)
Thanks.

How about phone calls? I have this weird bug that whenever i get a phone call, the names would show up on the gear....but on the phone, only numbers... like i dont have the person thats calling in my contacts.
And my phone wont display names until I delete samsung apps that connects to my phone.
Are you getting the same thing too?
I have the V20 (now with android 7)

Notification problems anyone ?

I must say i love the phone as in battery life and the camera also gives some nice pictures.
But what started it to not love the phone anymore is the notification problem.
I installed Whatsapp and as soon as the lockscreen was active or a few minutes later it stopped to receive notifications.
This also was for Telegram and my home automation app.
I have searched for topics and found quite allot of these similar notification problems with tips.
What i have done is set by every application that needed to be running in the background :
Enable autostart
Turn of battery saving mode - no limitation
Lock the app in the screen where you can empty / close the running apps.
Also found a topic and application that should "fix" some notification problems for MIUI.
https://github.com/FabioCZ
Not sure if this completly works but i am starting to get most notifications on whatsapp/telegram etc.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell,
the application is Hik-Connect.
Got my older samsung phone laying next to the note 10 and press the ring button.
Only samsung rings, the note 10 doesn't work at all.
ofcourse i have installed them both from the playstore, used the same settings on the xiaomi to keep it running.
Nothing
Is there anyone that has an idea, because the whole handy thingy is gone now.
maybe a custrom rom will solve it,but since i have no idea how to make it thats a no go
I did unlocked the phone , installed orange fox and magisk to use titanium backup.
Can say that this didn't work flawless also, getting magisk giving the toast message to give certain apps root acces etc etc.
whats even worse, can't return the phones ( got 2, 1 for me and for m girlfriend)
Well hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
edit: i am using nightskeeper to automatically turn of the sound at a certain time and turn it on.
Give some contacts rights to still call trough the audio block.
But also this application does not work anymore, i get this notice every time but its already active.
When i enter ok, and turn the permissions on it works again for a few hours or so and then its gone.
its getting a bit frustrating , hopefully my alarm clock will still stay working

try this setting

try to put a system sound, the same thing happens when I put an mp3 or music sound

thanks guys,
the sound trick was indeed a good one because it could not find the audio file that was set from my samsung phone ( used titanium backup to install WA again)
It does seem that 9 of 10 times i do get the notices.
Also got my Hik-Connect app finally running and ringing when i press the doorbell.
Now comes the strangest part, the settings that i have put in my phone are identical to the phone of my girlfriend.
And my phone works with most of the services that i want but the phone from my girl doesn't.
Also bumped into another thing, wifi tethering .
I have a android radio in my car, what i got set with Tasker for years is :
1 - jump in the car
2- bluetooth makes a connection to the radio/phone .
3- tasker notices this, starts wifi tethering / hotspot
4- radio will connect on the hotspot of the phone and live traffic naviation / streaming radio works.
That was how it was supposed to work, now i get a notice from tasker that its not working, need a extra application and root.
I have root / installed the wifi tasker tether application. Also found the module that should do the same and installed this in magisk.
But still a no go
i do like fiddeling around with my phones, but it has to work eventually haha.
Would come in handy if i know how to write code and make my own fix for this.
Ah well anyway, im going to make a full backup from my phone and try to set this 1:1 on my girls phone.
Hopefully the notifications and the doorbell will work then.
Thanks guys

Im using notifybuddy for notifications and it's a life changer.

Hello Vincenttot, I have bought a PocoX3 PRO mobile and the same thing happens to you.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell, the application is Hik-Connect. But on other phones it works fine.
Have you found any solution?
Thanks guys
