Question Can't connect to internet on watch? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Phone: Xiaomi Poco X3 nfc
So, I got the Watch4 BT the 27th and it worked okay after resetting and reinstalling about 4 times. But now, out of nowhere, my phone wouldn't connect to the watch anymore this morning. I but the bullet and did a reset once again.
Now it works fine again and it restored my backup properly.
But then I try to install my apps again via the store and I just can't connect. Not via the phone's internet and also not via the watch's internet.
Any solution to this? Because I'm on the verge of just returning the watch altogether.

Have you tried turning on wifi on your watch?

Yes, I did. But as mentioned, this did not allow me to connect to the internet.

Have you tried BT off WiFi on?

It seems to work, this way. But before, it used to connect to the internet through Bluetooth just fine.. So that would be more ideal than this.
Edit: I toggled Bluetooth tethering again and rebooted my phone. This seems to make it work again.

No internet over Bluetooth

I've been using the stock Touchwiz ROM on my Note 4 with no problems but changed to Lineage OS 14 last night.
I can get the watch to connect to my phone and the Android Wear app detects it. Adding the Google account was a bit of a pain but eventually sorted that.
The only problem I've got is I get no internet through the Bluetooth connection. And the Huawei app doesn't find the watch. Any ideas of anything I could try to fix it? Notifications are working and I can make a call using the watch but internet access only works with WiFi. Just using the Bluetooth connection shows the crossed out cloud icon.
I had the same problem... After trying a few things, then I realised that I had turned off data mobile for android wear app in order to save data.
That was all, now it's working perfectly
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that doesn't solve my problem It's definitely a Bluetooth issue with Lineage OS on my Note 4.
When I was using Touchwiz the watch said "Connected" in the Bluetooth settings. When using Lineage OS the watch says "Disconnected" even though it is paired and can receive information from apps on the phone, including notifications. It just doesn't pass the internet connection through it.
I have same problem. I did reset watch and now working connection via Bluetooth.

Glad to see im not alone . Having the very same issue with my note 4 on lineage 14.1 and my ticwatch e. Everything works but internet over bt.... Originally noticed the problem when adding my google account. Had to skip it until i was able to setup wi-fi. Paired the watch to my girls s7 with no problems at all and watch was fully functional. Anyone have an idea as to whats goin on here?
---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------
Ive tried factory resetting both the watch and phone multiple times but everything points to a problem within lineage.
Solved
Solved for me, need active Bluetooth tethering in the phone (shared internet connection through Bluetooth)
Settings > networks>tethering> "Bluetooth tethering"
I'm glad it works for you... ever since the 2.0 update, I've had nothing but problems too... I lost all notifications for a while, but then got them back by killing all the power saving BS on my Xiaomi phone for the Wear OS app. But now I can't get internet over Bluetooth, I've tried everything and now about to give up. I've done the following:
-Reset it (full reset on watch and removed app on phone)
-played around with both the settings on the phone app and the watch
-tried to enable bluetooth tethering (option gets turned off everytime i turn my phone off though...)
-tried mucking around with the bluetooth profiles
So i'm **** out of luck now lol
Same to me, I tried to reboot and reset both but no luck.
I'm using mi5 with global ROM
In my xiaomi works use this setings on Wear OS app.
https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi
What I did, I disconnected the phone from the WearOS app on my phone and re-connected it. Now it works...?? WTF? Really annoying issue.
Great. Thanks. that disconnected cloud icon finally went away. Still seems watch can't connect to WiFi though.
Is there any way to force watch to connect to WiFi?

Mobile network internet access stopped working

Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.
Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.
No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.

Question "Remote connection" not working on 44mm LTE watch4 with Pixel 4a 5G

Although I've mostly had good luck getting things working between my Watch4 LTE (T-Mobile US) and my phone (Google Pixel 4a 5G, Android 12), I have not been able to get the "Remote Connection" feature working (Wearables app>Settings>Advanced Features>Remote connection). This means my watch does not get SMS, phone calls to my phone's paired phone number, or notifications unless they're connected via Bluetooth. SMS or calls to the watch's phone number go through ok on LTE. Firmware and apps are all fully updated, and I tried a couple of factory resets, still no luck so far. Has anyone else experienced this? It's made the LTE connection totally useless for me.

Well, I'm glad to hear it's working for someone - there's still hope for me! Not sure if T-mo or Samsung support will be better for this; might take one more crack at it on my own. Can't seem to find an obvious culprit - of course the "find my phone" feature works over the LTE network, just nothing else.
Hello, I am the same with a pixel 5
I had the same issue withy Pixel 5 my solution was I set my watch up on a my Samsung s10 with my SIM in Samsung s10 phone and watch and then set up the LTE all should be worked fine then factory reset on the watch but do not remove the LTE data it gives you the option to delete Sim mobile data it DO NOT DELETE IT then setup the watch on your pixel and it should be all fine Hope is short guide helps
I'm glad that worked! I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone (still on Android 12 Beta 4.1) without restoring from my backup and Remote Connection worked fine! Now waiting for my restore to complete and hoping it will continue to connect. I'll update the thread with my results when I'm finished with the restore operation.
Restored from my backup and went through watch setup in the Galaxy Wearables app, and it's all working. Not sure exactly what was keeping it from working before I reset my phone, but it's working reliably now..
Hmm.. Just to make sure.. so in theory, the Remote Connection should work via LTE as well? I am getting the small disconnected icon at the top whenever I am not on BT with my phone... just wondering if should I start to mess all around with this trying to figure out why it fails.
Yes, that's right - your watch should be able to connect via wifi/LTE when the out of bluetooth range. I couldn't get mine to work after multiple watch factory resets, but a phone factory reset worked (maybe clearing the phone's cache would have worked, didn't try it). Now it works reliably and I can finally leave my phone at home and still get all my notifications on the watch.
Can you please verify that the remote connection is working on the LTE version of the watch for messages and CALLS too.
I am asking because in the past i had a active 2 Watch and i was so excited with the remote connection. Which i decided to buy the LTE version and with a cheap data plan only , i will be able to use the watch stand alone. Unfortunately to the LTE version of the watch the remote connection was supported only for messages and not for calls.

Question Problem with watch

Hi guys,
I'm currently experiencing problems with mt watch. I cleared it from bluetooth. So now when i pair to the watch it shows up twice iny bluetooth list. Once with a headphone and once with a regular bluetooth icon.
I can only connect to the headphone one. Also when i try to connect it trough Galaxy wearable it doesn't connect. I tried turninf developer mode on and off on both devices. I also tried rebooting both of em multiple times and toggle bluetooth on and off.
I tried reinstalling galaxy wear app but didnt work. I also dont wanna wipe all my data from the watch by pressing "Add new device"
Im on Xiamo Poco x3 Pro MIUI 13. And watch is base firmware and stuff. Please can someone help me out? Thanks !
Try a network reset.
Wearables needs all it's permissions enable and Google play Services enabled.
It can be a pain...

It's quit the menace when it behaves like this.
Make sure all the Samsung apps have all their permissions or it will puke on you. Try clearing the data in the Samsung apps or reinstalling them. The network reset option doesn't always work but it's nice when it does. Try clearing the system cache if that's an option.
If you do a factory reset without finding the root cause, it's likely to reoccur... not recommended.
First you need to go into your phone 's blue tooth and remove the two watch connections. Once you have done this, you need to use the Wear app to connect the watch. If it will not connect, then try clearing the cache and data for the wear app and then repairing the watch via the Wear app.

Update: Yea i eventually reset the watch and tried pairing it again. After a few failed tries i got trough the initial process and was able to pair it. Took me around two hours to set it up completely. on the plus side; i feel battery is lasting longer ! Thank you all for the help tho !
Good to hear.

Question Google Assistant stuttering on Galaxy watch 4 44mm Bluetooth

Hey everyone,
As the title says I have a problem with Google Assistant. It's stuttering when it is set to voice output. Basically it is unusable I had to turn off the voice. I have already rebooted both phone and watch, resetting the watch two times actually. Nothing helped. I think it is maybe a Bluetooth problem I don't know I have a xiaomi 11 lite 5g. I never had any issues with Bluetooth before like pairing earbuds or my previews smartwatch which was an amazfit GTS 2e. Bixby voice on the watch voice output is fine and also Bluetooth calls are also fine. The only thing that I did and helped but it's not a solution at all was to turn off Bluetooth on my watch and phone and turn on Wi-Fi on the watch then the assistant was fluent. I don't know what else to do.
I posted my problem to Reddit to Google support, here, and although there are other people that have the same problem no solution so far. Oh well
same on my galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm:
posted on reddit, no answer for me as well
talked to samsung customer service, they told me the usual stuff like factory resettiung it, and after i assured them i tested it, they told me to send it in. now im without my watch and have a feeling that nothing will come from it..

Sorry to hear that. I don't think it's the watch fault. I has to be something with the phone. I have a xiaomi m11 lite 5g. On Reddit someone else had the same problem with a nothing phone. What phone do you have?
right now its working fine for me, could be multiple reasons.
i assume its either stopping and starting the BT connection, or enabling contacts access for the watch in the phones BT menu.
Please just do all of the steps and we can try to narrow it down later:
On the watch:
make sure you have wifi enabled and are connected to a network
disable bluetooth in the watch settings
start google assistant and ask a question
(for me, i startet assistant like 3 times before it honored my wifi connection. before it just said im offline)
for me (and for several others who experienced the stutter) the answer is now not stuttering
go back to the settings and reactivate bluetooth
On the phone:
go to bluetooth settings
tap on your watch and make sure you have "Calls" and "Contact access" enabled. or any other permission you can give, for me its just those two
restart your phone and watch
Now, im connected via bluetooth (wifi on the watch still enabled), and it doesnt stutter.
idk what it is or if it will still work when i deactivate my wifi network or the wifi option on the watch, but for now, its the first time that it works for me
ill report back after some more testing (i will try to deactivate my wifi network at home, still keeping the watches wifi turned on. if it still works, i will disable the wifi on the watch)
In my original post as I said I have already done the wifi solution. The assistant response in fluent but as soon as I disable the wifi the stuttering returns. Also I have those two options on the phones Bluetooth enabled. I really want to thank you for trying. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this. if anything changes I will post.
Ok for me, deactivating the Network and deactivating WiFi in the watch itself did still Work, so my stutter is gone.. but im Sure i will Loop Back to Here when it comes Back, which it probably will

Do you have the lte version of the watch? Because you said deactivate the network. I tried the solution you gave me which is I turned on the Wi-Fi on the watch and turned off Bluetooth and assistant was working fine. But as soon as I activated Bluetooth again on my watch the stutter came back. Happy for you nevertheless
no i have the wifi only version. by deactivating the network, i meant i will shut down my wifi network at home. so the watch still has wifi enabled, but doesnt have any connection via wifi whatsoever

Aaaand its over. Stutter is Back.
I am on the Go at the Moment but tomorrow i will Invest some time and reproduce my steps, Testing every step of the way
That's a bummer. Sorry to hear it's back. Iam also trying different things but iam running out of ideas.
I dont think it's any particular thing but, here's what I did between when it worked last time and now:
Situation when it last worked:
Home, wifi, phone connected
Event protocol:
Phone turned off for faster charging
Watch taken off (locked itself)
Watch put on charger until 100%
Phone powered up again and removed from charger
Watch removed from charger, put on wrist, unlocked
Left house (no wifi for watch anymore)
Changed watch settings to access Google pay on double tap
Most if not all of this sounds unrelated but it may be interesting to reproduce or once someone figures it out
I also got it to work without stutter for a couple of questions answered when I switched off and then switched on the Bluetooth on my phone. But it didn't work every time I did that.
Can you try doing a network speed test on your phone when this happens? I've had this happen, but only when I was on a very slow WiFi connection or bad cellular network connection.

I did but the network speed is fine. In fact the only time the assistant is working properly is when the watch is connected to a wifi network and not Bluetooth
I have the same problem with the GW5 Bluettooh.
With Bluetooh on, the voice output always stutters.
With deactivated Bluetooth, only with WLAN it doesn't stutter.
Has anyone found a solution?
I use a Huawei P20pro as my cell phone
Thanks
