Wear OS watch doesn´t connect to Xiaomi Mi 8 - General Questions and Answers

Hi everybody!
I have a Ticwatch E that I'm trying to pair with my new Xiaomi Mi 8, I've been trying for 3 days and I still cannot pair it. This are the steps I execute to pair it:
I open the Wear OS app in my phone
I look for devices and my watch appears
I click on my watch in the device list
(Here comes the problem )
A PIN is shown in my watch, it should be shown in my phone too but it doesn´t. My phone says 'A prompt to connect will appear on this phone' but nothing happens.
After a few seconds of waiting, my phone says "Couldn´t pair with Ticwatch E 299 N, because of an incorrect PIN or passkey"
At first I thought it was a problem with the watch, since my brother has a Ticwatch E and a Xiaomi Mi 8 too and he could make it work in the first attempt, so I tried to pair my watch with his old Samsung Galaxy S7 AND IT WORKED!
After that I tried again the same steps as described at the beginning of the thread with no success, so I proceeded to try connecting it without the Wear OS app. I went to Settiongs -> Bluetooth -> Selected 'Ticwatch E 299 N', and the PIN to connect was showing both on my watch and my phone, I hit 'Pair' and then it got connected. The problem is that my watch says that I should continue the configuration process in my phone but there's no configuration process if I don't pair it with the Wear OS app.
Other things I tried:
- Downloading the Mobvoi app and trying to pair from there (it asks me to open Wear OS, so it's basically the same).
- Downloading multiple old Wear OS versions in my phone and trying to pair using them (none of them worked)
- Following this steps after having paired it to my brother's old phone and then trying to pair it with the Wear OS app (This time the wear showed the PIN and asked me if the PIN was the same that was being shown in the phone (no PIN was being shown in the phone), so I clicked Yes and then I got the same 'Incorrect PIN or passkey' error message)
- Deleting all the data (including cache) of Google Play Services, Google, Wear OS, Mobvoi app, Bluetooth/WiFi/Mobile Data connections, and then rebooting the phone multiple times (no success here too)
P.S.: I did a factory reset of the phone before every mentioned attempt.
More info about my watch versions:
Home App: 2.8.0.183948193
Google Play Services: 12.2.21
Android OS: 8.0.0
Security Patch: August 1st 2018
Info about my brother's watch versions:
Wear OS by Google: 2.6 (I don't know why I don't have this in my 'versions' section)
Home App: 2.22.0.234791771
Google Play Services: 15.0.90
Android OS: 8.0.0
Security Patch: August 1st 2018
As you can see there's a clear difference between the versions of each watch, I would like to update my watch to my brother's versions but I couldn't find how to do that without rooting the watch (I'd prefeer to keep it unrooted if possible).
Any idea of what could I do to solve this? My phone's bluetooth works fine (I can use other bluetooth devices such as headphones or a JBL Charge 3, this is the first one that didn't work) and my Ticwatch works fine too (I could make it work with the S7 )
UPDATE: I connected the watch to the Samsung S7, updated Wear OS and now all the versions of both phones are the same (except for the Google Play Services version, I couldn't update it), it still doesn't pair.

[Q] Can not Bluetooth pair iPad 2 ios 5.1.1 with Android 4.0.3 using BTStack 1.6.3

Devices and SW: iPad 2 ios 5.1.1 jailbroken, Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 Android 4.0.3, latest BTstackGPS 1.6.3 installed from Cydia.
Followed instructions: On iPad turn off ios BT and set BTstack as active stack. Turn on BTstackGPS.
Initiated pairing from the phone using the regular BT pairing procedure (which worked with other devices). The phone recognizes iPad and iPad recognizes the phone.
All pairing attempts failed !!! Some attempts prompted to enter a 4 digit code and some didn't even do that.
Point: When a pairing attempts were started from the phone, BTstackGPS on the iPad was turned off automatically (At least the screen changed to the home screen and I had to press the BTstakGPS icon again)
I also tried initiating the pairing from BTstackGPS. No success.
iPad (and other ios devices) in general can not pair with Android devices, but BTstack is supposed to resolve it.
There are testimonies of people that they were able to pair with older versions of ios and Android.
Any clues????????????????????????

[Paranoid Android] My Phone won't connect to my Moto 360

Yesterday my One wouldn't boot up so I figured this would be the time to try out Paranoid Android. After flashing and restoring all of my apps and data, I went to open Android Wear and connect to my watch. My phone will connect, but not the Android Wear app? When I start to connect, my phone and watch get a Pair message and I choose pair, my Android Wear app won't connect to my watch although when I go to the Bluetooth menu on my phone it says connected.
But It doesn't say connected on my watch either.
Could anyone help me? My Moto 360 is on Android Wear 4.4W2 and my phone is on Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5
Thanks.
Look what you are running
I got moto 360 and OnePlus One and I think it is because the beta build is not supported.

Gear S3 Frontier Pair with Nokia 6?

Hey all, thanks in advance for any responses. Trying to pair Gear S3 Frontier with Nokia 6, but it never connects. I have tried the non-samsung phone Gear Manager from the Samsung website, but when I attempt to setup it sees the watch but never actually connects. Any ideas? Not a huge issue as I am only using this phone temporarily, but I hate not having functionality between the watch and the phone.
In case it matters for whatever reason, it is the LTE version of the watch.
Thanks!

When it gets to the screen to pair the two devices (should say "refer to phone to complete setup" or something similar on the gear, and have the loading circle on the phone) without closing the gear app, open bluetooth then click on the Gear in the bluetooth devices menu. Should connect and complete the setup. For some reason the connection to the gear disconnects midway through setup and doesnt attempt to reconnect, so you have to do it manually. After that there shouldnt be any issue with the gears connection to the phone.
Found this out while mucking around with phone and gear in bed one morning.

It worked for Nokia 5 as well
Thank you
Worked on my Nokia too but the problem seems to be that the watch and the phone wont reconnect automatically if the connection breaks. I need to go to Settings - Bluetooth and tap the Gear S3 row so it will connect.
Anyone else facing the same?

Gear S3 does not connect with my OPPO R& plus as well! On the application it says not compatible!! Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
As ragegamr said - WHEN THE SAMSUNG GEAR APP DISPLAYS THE SPINNING GALAXY TRYING TO PAIR WITH THE WATCH AND THE WATCH SAYS CHECK YOUR PHONE TO COMPLETE THE SETUP GO TO YOUR PHONE'S SETTINGS - BLUETOOTH - AND CLICK ON THE GEAR S3 TO CONNECT TO IT. THEN GO BACK TO THE GEAR APP.

That works around the set-up issue but the symptom is actually due to a larger issue of the Gear S3 and the phone never automatically connecting.
I used to have a Samsung S8+ and never had issues with connectivity.
I could leave my phone on my desk, walk to the other side of the building, hear the watch disconnect then walk back and hear it connect automatically. Seamless - as it should be.
Now on my Nokia 8 I need to manually go into Bluetooth and connect to the watch every time the phone loses connectivity to it. This is ridiculous.
Further, when connecting to my car stereo, the phone calls no longer go to the car.
It looks like Nokia might need to do something to fix the Bluetooth problems at the driver or firmware level.
Well with my Nokia 8 sirocco the gear s3 fails to connect even when tapping manually. Once i tap on Gear s3 it says connecting, it shows connected for 1 second and again disconnects. Any help?

I am trying on nokia 6 2017 and still does not work.
Thank you so much!
This device in not compatible with Gear s3 .
Hello there,
I recently had a chat with Samsung support and they mentioned that only few devices are support with their watches.
check on Samsung website >>/global/galaxy/gear-s3/device-compatibility/
[Jaybee(Agent):11:19:30] Basing from mt resources the Nokia 6 cannot be seen as one of the compatible device.
[(Customer):11:21:48] So, developers need to make a patch for it ?
[Jaybee(Agent):11:22:31] It is not actually an error on Samsung side since the device is made for other devices.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:23:31] One thing that I can think off is that by the time the Gear S3 was released the Nokia 6 has not been manufactured and I believe this was the first Android device of Nokia.
[(Customer):11:24:06] Yeah, I believe so..
[(Customer):11:24:41] Is that any future for nokia to get possible connection with Gear s3
[Jaybee(Agent):11:26:46] We are actually unable to tell if in the future that the Gear S3 will be compatible with the Nokia.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:27:28] We hope that would happen since we definitely want to make sure that our products can be connected to any brands.
Another thing you can do is : go into gear s app> settings> gear connection (off) try to make it on. (if you are lucky)

Did you had any luck with this? Because I am having exactly the same issue?
easy solution
Activate Developer Mode in your phone. In Developer options find Bluetooth AVRCP Version click on it and change it to 1.3 (mine was set to 1.4 as default) restart your phone and connect it again(you might to reinstall and unpaired your Gear S3). works on my Nokia X6 2018 no problems. Cheers from Scotland ps let me know guys if it works for you (probably its same problem and solution for all android phones which have connection problems with Gear smart watches...)

Bluetooth not working after latest LineageOS update

A few months ago (I forgot exactly when), I updated to the latest available herolte LineageOS build for my (rooted) S7.
As I use a Samsung Gear S2 Classic smartwatch, I went about updating build.prop to make the Galaxy Wear app work on my phone (the app works out of the box on everything except flashed Samsung phones, which is circumvented by replacing 'samsung' with 'htc' in build.prop). However, my watch would not connect anymore, despite resetting my watch, reinstalling the app, etc etc. It simply did not show up on the menu. Then I noticed that I was also unable to connect to my bluetooth speaker as well, despite it being on and working perfectly fine as before with my laptop. Scanning for bluetooth devices simply shows nothing. The smartwatch would show up for very short periods of time and then disappear again, the bluetooth speaker is still listed as 'paired' but attempting to connect to it does nothing.
So, my Bluetooth is broken after this update and I have no idea how to begin fixing this. I have not attempted reflashing my phone yet. Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions for troubleshooting?

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?
