Question Google Assistant stuttering on Galaxy watch 4 44mm Bluetooth - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

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..

Yeah we have the same problem alright. Please keep me informed once you receive the watch back.

just got it back, they reinstalled and updated the watches OS, but no change... im pretty pissed

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

[Q] Wifi issue ! (Lollipop 5.1)

Hi All,
I got the Lollipop 5.1 OTA 2 days ago and installed it - everything went smooth and the phone working fine...
But I noticed that if I reboot my router (or turn it off / on again) the Wifi don't reconnect unless I turn on the screen (the second I turn on the screen the wifi connect normally).
I didn't have this issue with Lollipop 5.0.1
P.S.
I know that this is happening because I have a led on my router telling me if any of my Wifi devices is connected or not. And to make sure I also entered the router settings to see if my phone is connected or not.
Anyone noticed that issue with the new lollipop 5.1 ?
Cheers,
I think that your problem is not switching off the router. The problem is when your phone goes to suspension (screen off) and then it drops the wifi off.
My Nexus 5 with 5.1 is doing the same

I've got some similar behaviour here, both when updated from 5.0, and with a fresh install from the factory images. When I arrive at a place with known WiFi, the phone only connects once I turned on the screen. After that, it stays connected until I move out of range and back again.
It's probably a matter of responsiveness/battery life. The more it polls for networks, the more battery it uses. It should connect, even with the screen off, within a few minutes.
That being said, I have my wifi set to always stay connected, and I've seen it not connected when I turned the screen on, then connect a couple seconds later. So, there's that. Curious how often it does that.

That's what I suspected. Sometimes, the waiting game works, but I've had my N5 lying on my desk – where it usually gets full WiFi bars – for about 40 minutes the other day, still it did not connect until I turned the screen on.
Edit: Just now, my phone disconnected from WiFi when the screen turned off, which leads me to believe that this is all caused by the WiFi sleep policy. Could it be that Google messed up something there?

My "research" has led me to believe this is the case.
Anything in terms of a workaround?
I came across those settings in the developer options (see screenshot), especially the "Always allow WiFi Roam Scans" looked promising. Been playing with them, but so far no luck.
Hi All,
exactly the same issues as yours guys are happening since I received the OTA 5.1 and installed it !
I Guess something messed up with this new update in regard of the wifi... as you mentioned.
If you come across a workaround or a confirmation from "Google" please share.
Cheers,
(With almost everyone nowadays having data ..it is difficult to notice such a behavior due to the fast wifi/data switching)
I have seen this happen as well. My battery graph will even show a missing area for WiFi indicating it turned itself on and off twice within a few hours and then stayed on after that.
Google just now released LMY47I, has anyone had a chance to see if that version fixes our problem? Once I'm off work (in about 8 hours), I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Could you please elaborate on that? I'm familiar with Tasker, but I can't think of a way of dealing with this, since I'm not sure what actually happens with the WiFi. The settings appear untouched.

I'm sorry, but my phone is now in the service center , and press that I do not remember specifically . The idea is that when you disable wifi, a time interval is forced to connect to a particular network . Look presence on the internet , here is full of instructions.

Almost all of the changes on these different builds are SIM related for specific carriers.
LMY47I was only released to LGD821 devices with SIM cards from Indian and Australian carriers
Same problem here. I am slowly losing faith in Google. Get the frickin basics going guys!!!
Back to my 5.0.1 build.
I've gone back to 5.0.1, too. Pity, except for this I was pretty happy with 5.1. Maybe 5.1.1 will actually be usable.
Do you think it can be related to Issue 163350? code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=163350
I have just reported that, but I'm still trying to understand if it just happens to me or what.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.
I am waiting for your feedback.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Won't Find Any WiFi Networks

So just last night at around 5AM my Galaxy S7 was working perfectly in terms of WiFi (don't ask why I was up at 5AM lol). But I fell asleep and I wake up at around 3PM and it won't find any networks at all. If I go into the WiFi settings and turn WiFi on, the page where it's supposed to list nearby WiFi connections is blank. All it says is "Scanning for WiFi networks..." but nothing pops up. This isn't my home connection because there are TONS of nearby WiFi connections, and I know because I've seen them on the list before, And my laptop is working fine so it's only my S7 that's acting weird. I restarted it multiple times to check it that was the problem but it didn't fix it. Can anyone help?
Is the S7 Stock? What ROM is it running? did you have auto updates enabled? have you wiped and reset it yet?
same problem here

I did, it still doesn't work. I contacted Samsung support and they said it may be a physical problem. I did drop my phone and it cracked the screen, but I don't really see how it could be that. But the problem did start a day after I dropped my phone, so maybe.

Sounds very possible that dropping your phone from enough height to crack the screen could also damage internal hardware
Could be something as simple as a cable coming loose, but could also be physically damaged
I have the same problem, my wifi also cant find available networks, but when i try to connect it via WPS it connect and then it also show all available networks as well, but when the light goes or wifi disconnect due to some reason it once again cant find it and i have to connect it via WPS , also it cand find my office wifi

WiFi keeps disconnecting after the nougat update.

So far I love the nougat update. The main problem I have now is the WiFi disconnects when I turn off the screen. Really annoying because I listen to music a lot at work and ever since then the music will stop randomly so the wifi will have to connect again. Rebooting does nothing and I don't want to hard reset the phone to see if it will fix it. I have already gone through 3 different note 5 because of stupid problems. it seems like a battery saving thing. the old update power saving feature used to do the same thing and wouldn't let background apps use data when the phone was off and now its doing it on all the power settings. Not sure what to do.
first off, make sure your wifi is set to stay on always during sleep (at least just to test to see if that fixes things). That said, I've experienced this too (even with that setting set to "always") and hopefully I've fixed it but need more time (and others seeing this issue) to verify the fix and actually I really don't have a fix, just a work around.
I think what's going on is that wifi is being subjected to the battery optimization/power saving stuff and is disabled or whenever when the screen goes off. I've turned off all "power saving stuff" and now wifi seems to stay on.
---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------
This seems to be a pretty broad issue with Nougat updates, on many device models. Some have suggested disabling the advanced wifi setting "smart network". I just did that and will see how it goes.
Yep same problem here and I have tired nearly everything but smash the phone so far.
I gave up trying to fix it. Nothing is working and I'm not wiping the system just for that. Mostly only happens at work on that wifi. Home doesn't really disconnect much.

I'm thinking it happens for me when the phone tries to swap between to wifi access points of the same ssid... like at hotels and work.
Might be right but I know it has something to do with it going to sleep when my screen shuts off. I have the always on turned on but it only happens when my screen is off and I turn it back on

I tried a factory reset to fix the Wi-Fi issue. It did nothing except waste my time. I've been with the Note series since the 2 and I'm done with them. I seem to also have some issue with the damn things. I've never been on IOS but I'm ready to take it for a spin.

It's not your phone that's causing the problem it's Nougat itself and that and other reasons are exactly why I downgraded back to MM 6.0.1.. I have the firmware if you want to try that.

Hello Mr Mike,
I'm to the point I can no longer stand this issue. I'm constantly getting an exclamation mark beside my wifi. The thing that boggles me the most is I don't see very many complaints when researching this issue. Am I missing something simple? I also know it's not my router. My wife has an S7 edge, my son uses my old Note 3, and my daughter has an eclipse tablet. None of those devices have this issue. I also know that nothing associated with wifi is set up to sleep. I'm at a loss!
I would hate to roll back to marshmallow but I'm seriously considering it! I'm constantly streaming music and this issue has made this a nightmare.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!!

Do you have "smart network switch ebabled"? If you have no need for your mobile data to be enabled then disable it for as long as you're going to be near the Wi-Fi network so you can still receive texts and other stuff.. Just as a sort of test to see if your mobile data is fighting with your Wi-Fi data.. Also how many devices are connected to your Wi-Fi at the time the drop usually happens? For instance if I'm using most of the Wi-Fi data, like say your speeds capped at 10MB and your wife is downloading using almost all of the speed and then other devices will not be able to use that data and your phones going to think the Wi-Fi network is being slow and rather drop it altogether.

I've tried enabling and disabling smart switch and I have the same issue. I just tried forgetting the network and setting wi-fi back up fresh (after a factory reset, logging into my Samsung account sets up my Wi-Fi from previously saved settings). So far I haven't I disconnected.
The wife and kids do use some data, but not enough to warrant the issues I've been having. Once again thanks for a quick response. I will report if resetting the connection works.

Enable developer options and under Network make sure nothing is on.. I don't know much about your type of setup but I have internet through the cable company but I use my own modem and Wi-Fi network built into it and manually control what devices can use, like what amount of speed, the IP address it can use and so on so I don't really have any issues like that.. I even have it setup so it's a white list type setup so nothing can be connected unless I personally add that devices MAC address.. Neighbors always trying to get free internet!!
Hey just found something. There's a way to check to see what's making the wifi disconnect. For me it is my gear s2. Goto wifi settings and under advanced, scroll to bottom and control history is there. I clicked on it and it said gear s plugin turned my wifi off. So I went and disabled the wifi setting on my watch and made sure to turn sync wifi profiles off also. It seemed to help at home but at work it's still happening but less often. I don't think this is the culprit for most but I have seen an improvement at least for me, it seems.
The only solution I've found is to stop buying Samsung. I went 3 months without sensors working and now my wifi is garbage. So long Samsung!

So I think I've narrowed the issue down. Yesterday I had a pool party and used a Brookstone speaker I have that plugs into the 3.5mm jack (I usually connect to several Bluetooth speakers I use). I did not have one single issue. Is it conceivable that using Bluetooth is causing my Wi-Fi issues? If so, any ideas on a fix?

It could yes since a lot of them use 2.4GHZ like Wi-Fi does but it's usually unlikely that Bluetooth would cause your Wi-Fi to get messed up because Bluetooth uses AFH which basically identifies bad channels (i.e. those that are already in use) Bluetooth technology nowadays uses what’s called spread-spectrum frequency hopping. That is, they rotate between 70 randomly chosen frequencies within their range, changing 1,600 times a second. That makes it unlikely that two devices will share the same frequency. But if you have your Wi-Fi unit in a spot where it has to pass between a bunch of walls before it gets to you that could also cause a problem since Wi-Fi signals don't like traveling through walls and other objects.

Only 1600 times a second lol. Thanks, I'm going to try setting up a repeater to widen my signal.

I'm pretty sure it's the new "app power monitor" battery saver that comes with Nougat. You can disable it by going to Battery> Advanced Settings> App power monitor > OFF. I recently tried it and it worked instantly and consistently.
It looked like a good idea... basically, it was an official Android version of "Greenify", only it repeatedly turns off wifi. What a joke. I turned that off, and now my wifi is stable, instead of turning off every 5 seconds.
Where do we go from here? I still want the battery savings... I guess I'll go back to Greenify and Package Disabler Pro...
I'll try that out thanks

Wifi keeps disconnecting?

Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:
I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!
Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.
still no fix

ya my problem is still there. This phone is utter dog ****, to be honest. Still waiting for an update, but now I know..never buy a pixel again
Is Bluetooth on? This is what is causing my WiFi to be very unstable......

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.
