Hey all,
I'm having issues connecting my GW5 to my S21U. Every time I try to connect Galaxy Watch manager force closes. I've uninstalled the manager and wear app, but no luck. The clock itself is recognized. Any Ideas?

I have to manually connect my watch s7 edge if they haven't been connected for awhile. Never timed it, but I connect it through quick connect
Hi all,
I'm growing increasingly frustrated with this watch because of connection issues.
When I received this watch in January, I was able to set it up no problem. Everything worked great. I just had two issues-
1. The Bluetooth car system would no longer work because the phone would use the watch as the default headset.
2. Google duo would go bonkers when I was getting a call if the watch was connected.
Both of these issues were solved with a solution found here in the forums-by unchecking the option to use the watch for phone connection.
I noticed immediately after doing that that the connection became unstable. I would disconnect randomly then reconnect. As the weeks went on the disconnections became more frequent i.e. Every 2-3 minutes. Then the watch wouldn't connect anymore. Once the watch wouldn't connect anymore neither would my car. Nothing related to Bluetooth would work on my phone. My Tiles wouldn't connect anymore either.
So I went through and deleted all data and cache related to the three Samsung apps and uninstalled the apps. I deleted all Bluetooth connections. Then reinstalled the apps and connected the watch. Within an hour I was still in the same situation. (With no other things connected to Bluetooth.)
I figured out that if I restart my phone everything works again for about 20-30 minutes.
I'm at the point where I don't feel like it is worth keeping anymore. I can't have anything else connected to Bluetooth and I have to restart the phone so often that it just doesn't make sense.
After reading through the forums here it doesn't sound like this is a common problem. Is there something I am missing? Is the watch defective? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You could well find the issue is with your phone and not the watch. I initially used my S3 with a Samsung phone that went bust. I went back to my Nexus 5 and found I had some issues and one app had disappeared from the app store. I contacted the app firm who told me that they were aware of it but it was Samsung that was blocking the app. On going back to a Samsung phone the app was available again and works fine. Can you check your S3 with a different phone?
I also have a S3 and a 6P. Disconnect the S3 Bluetooth from your phone Bluetooth settings and it should connect to your car. You should still see the "Gear S Plugin" notification if you swipe down on the the phone. You should still receive notifications on your phone but the Bluetooth will connect to your car. Connect the S3 to your phones Bluetooth again if you want to answer calls via your watch. Hope this helps.
I have the Mate 9 and the Frontier... when i enter my truck i just press airplan mode on the watch turning off all connection. bluetooth from phone to truck connects 1-2-3....
Clarification
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. Probably because of my long rambling post there is a little misunderstanding of where I'm at now.
Right now my problem is that my phone can't stay connected to my watch. I have nothing else connected via Bluetooth to my phone. Once it can't connect anymore, I have to restart my phone in order for it to connect again. And then it only stay connected for a couple of minutes before disconnecting.
It is like the Bluetooth gets locked up on my phone by the Samsung gear apps.
Maybe it's my phone. Maybe time to get a Pixel.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Try this. I do it when I lose notifications. Go to Bluetooth on your phone. "forget your watch" it will disconnect. Reboot phone. Then re pair watch and phone after reboot using your phone and the watch (not the gear app). That usually fixes most problems for me.

Hi all,
the case is:
since upgrading to Android10, when opening my Garmin Connect app, and clicking on my watch to sync, nothing happens. When I go to "apps", then the system app "bluetooth" and delete storage+cache, suddenly it works and the watch syncs.
I have to do this every time.
every other BT device works.
I have tried re-installing the Connect app of course, and to give it full permissions. nothing.
ideas?
thanks.
Hey guys,
So I have a Gear S3 Classic and a Galzxy Note 9 on Pie OS and I'm running through a connectivity issue every once in a while.
Basically if I don't connect my watch to my phone in a day or two, the next time I try to connect it it gets stuck on the finishing pairing screen on Galaxy Wearable, if I try to connect it from the Bluetooth settings, it says connected for calls except that it won't show it as connected on the companion app.
Also when I clear data/cache of the companion app it connects instantly but it tells me that I have to reset the watch as you can see on the screenshot. I can still fully use my Gear S3 even with that error message but I can't use the Galaxy Wearable app. So each two or threee days I have to reset my watch to keep using the Wearable app correctly.
Any ideas as to why this keeps happening? I only have this issue with my Gear S3 all the other Bluetooth equipements that I use connect just fine.
Any help is appreciated.

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?
