Offline but connected - LG G Watch R

Hello,
My smartwatch LG G Watch R is connected throug bluetooth, but 9 out of 10 times teh ok google says its offline, with a slashed cloud.
I have allready factory reset both phone and watch.
Reinstall Google Now
Check settings 100 times
Is my watch broken? Or can this be another problem?
regards,
Frans

I have had this a couple of times. It is the phone not connecting to the internet. I only have had it when on wifi. Switched wifi on phone off and on and that fixed it.
Does it happen on wifi and mobile data?

Hi. Yes it means that it's connected to the phone but the phone is not connected to the Internet.

Have the same problem; it's connected via bluetooth AND voice recognition works perfectly on the phone - any ideas anyone ?
Ash

seems to be when i receive a card, directly after it wont connect

Hi all, I've registered in order to ask exactly the same question.
Every time I use some voice recognition (i.e. give an order, answer to someone...) I got these "offline" errors same as OP.
"Offline" or "Can't reach Google at the moment" even if my phone is 100% with internet conectivity.
Anyone got this fixed? Any troubleshooting around it?
Thanks in advance !

I'd expect it would happen if you have a battery saver like Juice Defender on the phone that turns off data when the screen is off, or only switches it on every 15 mins etc. I'd turn off any battery saving stuff on the phone that could be doing anything like that and see if there's any improvement

At least I, I don't have any kind of battery saving application...

Add me to this list. Total garbage. I've had this watch for a few days and I'm very underwhelmed because of this problem.

I've experienced the same problem. Watch works when wifi is active but goes" offline" when only connected to data. I believe I've come across a solution. It's working for me.
Switch on background data for Google search.(on your phone) That worked for me.
Go to settings, data usage, scroll down to Google search (should be there on the list) and make sure background data isn't restricted.
Hope this helps. Good luck guys/girls.

Nope no joy for me with this...
No ticks in any app on that list..!
These constant disconnects are really getting to me now !
Strangely I'm on a note 3 too, albeit running the leaked lollipop rom, I take it your still on stock KitKat firmware ?
I was going to flash back to 4.4.3 stock to see if it cures it but if you're still on this I won't bother.

Looks like a very common problem across all android wear watches.
Even though I have a G Watch R, I've had a nosey around and according to the Moto 360 forums they are having the same issues so I would guess either lollipop on the watch has an issue or the latest android wear app.. rather than the watch itself if the 360 is doing the same.
And I don't think it did this when the Mrs first bought my watch and let me try it out prior to putting it away for xmas.
I had a good few hours playing with it to make sure it was working ok and what I wanted for my xmas present
This was before the updates to the app and watch firmware.
Had it been like it is now I think I would have sent it back...!
Hopefully it will get fixed after the New Year and everyone gets back to their jobs at Google..

Most of the functions still go to the "cloud" to work, so if you have any battery saving "features" enabled that restrict Google Play Service, then you'll likely to run into problems.
I've seen this problem also and it was caused by my flakey wifi connection or trying to make the watch do something while out of signal (like in an elevator). But that not the watch's fault...
You can try downloading the voice recognition offline, that could help, but it still neds internet to work properly. Uninstall all batery saving garbage (I have yet to see a working one) and try again.

Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. I had that problem on 4.3 and upgraded to 4.4 thinking it would solve the issue. Changing bootloaders, roms, android versions didn't fix it until I reenabled background data.
I was rooted running jedi 4.3 rom when I got my g watch r. Switched to PAC ROM 4.4.4 and the prob was still there. It's all good now though. Good luck and hope you find a fix. I totally understand your frustration.

HI Guys,

Any news or way to solve this ?
Thanks

gear live connection issues

So I've searched around a bit and not really found anyone else having this issue... Is it just me or is no one complaining?
The Bluetooth connection shows to be solid on the phone "connected, running sync loop" shows in the notification bar and the little connection lost cloud is not displayed on the watch.
However, notifications will not push and if I try to initiate a voice command it spins for while and then tells me that it is "unable to reach the Google server" turning Bluetooth on and then back off will rectify the issue temporarily. And... To make things more complicated it will randomly happen a lot one day and hardly at all another day ( of course it always acts up when someone starts asking questions about the watch and wants a demo, which in turn makes you look like a gullable early adopting fool.)
I'm currently using a gear live with a nexus 5 running the latest stable build of cm11. Ive also tested with and without WiFi enabled, because I thought I noticed a correlation but there seems to be none.
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?

That happened to me a couple of times too, but the watch usually had the cloud connection symbol thing while my phone said "connected, running sync loop." Turning bluetooth on and off and/or hitting the connect/disconnect button in the android wear app fixed the problem, but it seems to happen again whenever I leave the phone away from the watch and the BT connection is lost. It's doesn't seem to regain the connection on its own.
Is this is a CM11 problem, though? I also have CM11 (nightlies and milestones) and I had the same issue with my pebble watch. I'm thinking of going stock to see if it fixes the problem.

The thing that gets me is how inconsistent it appears to be. My phone is always in my pocket, and the cloud "disconnected" icon never appears.
however the link is clearly broken. I may do a wipe and install AOSP. I hope that is not the issue, ive really been enjoying the theme engine in cm11 along with all of the other customizability features

I had the same issue with my nexus 5 running CM11. Two or three times throughout the day my watch would just stop receiving notifications, but it would still say it was connected. Often I noticed it because when I went to give it a voice command it would not register and then say it was disconnected until I swiped away the notification. I've just flashed over to Omni ROM to see if that fares better, since I'm pretty sure the issue was mainly with CM11 on this phone.

Well I swapped to omnirom as well and sure enough, operation has been perfect. I also noticed while looking at obd2 apps that one had mentioned bluetooth connectivity issues on CM...
so i'd say, SOLVED.
My io2014 Samsung gear live won't connect to a new nexus 7 WiFi running 4.4.4 stock ROM.
Worked forma while, then flaky, nowmseems like zero connectivity.
Reset everything (on the watch and AR app), now it just won't pair.

The same exact thing is happening to me, just one day started to get in a "Pairing Loop" continually asking me to pair the watch to my phone. Upon pairing successfully and syncing some notifications the connection gets broken and immediately a new parigin code appears.
UPDATE:
I'm back on cm11 and everything is working properly. The problem is not the ROM, its the Kernel that comes baked in. Currently using elementalX Kernel and no issues.

[Q] LGR going offline after "OK Google" command

Hello all!
I must say, this watch is a very nice toy to play with and very handy in meetings! I have used the watch for a few days now, but I (only) have 2 issues to be solved which I cannot seem to find the answer yet:
1. The watch is connected to my phone OK (all notifications come through all the time). However, when I say "OK google" and then for instance "show me my steps" or "show me the weather", it will go to a screen saying me the connection is offline (white logo on blue background on the top of the screen). When I dismiss that message, I see that my connection is still OK! Weird .... this happens to me practically 80-90% of the times .... on a very rare occasion it succeeds to show me the info I want. By the way, my internet connection is OK at that time.
2. I have my phone also connected with BT to my Volvo V40 (2013). However, with the watch also on BT, the carkit of my Volvo is now almost useless as the voice is completely messed up (from the caller to me, and from me to the caller), sounds very intermittend or something. It seems like the BT connection is not happy with having 2 devices to be connected at the same time. My phone is an iNew V3 ... could it be something with BT profiles or versions?
I have already tried to reset the watch, re-install wear on my phone, deleted the dalvik cache (phone), un-installed apps, but no luck. Anybody have a clue on the above?
Maybe your Wifi/3G connexion is in sleeping mode and is too long to unsleep ? the watch can not connect so quickly ?
You sound like having BT reception issues on the phone. This behaviour might be triggered by the bluetooth interface itself (on the phone - bad design) or by bad drivers (also on the phone) or by interferences from the wifi module. Is your wifi on all the time?
Regular wifi is on 2.4GHz, the same frequency as BT. Wifi, however, uses more Rx/Tx power compared to BT so, under certain bad antenna designs, WiFi can just mess-up BT.
On my phone (Z1C) is the other way around: having BT ON will cause bad performance on 2.4GHz WiFi .... so I just stopped using the 2.4 band for WiFi.
Give it a try, Worst case scenario: use another phone.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the reply. About the first idea ... well if I have my phone on the charger and already switched on, it still happens. So there I assume the 3G / wifi connection is already on and this issue will not be due to the delay of switching the data connection on. Am I right?
Second option: my wifi is switched on all the time, you are right. I will try to experiment a little bit with it, let's see if that will make a difference. And, changing the phone ... hmmm well that would be a very high impact of course. My iNew V3 actually works very well ...
I am still a bit struggling with accepting it is my phone causing this issue ... only with the voice regocognition I have this issue ... with all other commands and apps the connection is OK! Only with the "OK google" option it says "offline" ... and immediately (I do not see the colored circle). To me it looks more like a but in the software or something, but after 3 resets of the device I also cannot believe that ...
Any more options? Thanks!

try to pair your watch with your friend phone and to check this is not a problem coming from your phone. sometimes certain kernel do have issue with some of the bluetooth device.
Hello everyone. Sorry for my English, because I am using a translator. I decided to write this post, because it happened to me the same trouble and I found her cause. In anticipation of its Nexus 6, I decided to temporarily buy fairly cheap option LG G60 (X135). When watch came to me, I noticed the same problem. I then tried to connect them to the Moto G (1st generation), and there is the same. but by chance, in the evening, in my hands was LG G90 and I connected watch to this phone. Everything works without any problem. it turns out that despite the declared characteristics (Bluetooth 4.0) in all devices, it works quite differently everywhere. I hope with Nexus no problems.
Hi all, after opening this thread I tried several things and have some new insights:
- new update (5.0.1) solved my issue with going "offline" after a voice command. Now it works perfectly! But only if I am not connected to my carkit.
- if my watch is connected and try to use the carkit the sound is still bad. So I would like to have my watch disconnected if my carkit connects:
-- this could be done by only allowing 1 device to pair with my phone and prioritize carkit to be first and watch to be second.
-- this could be done by actively unpairing the watch if I receive a call (and connect when call is over).
The first option would be the most reliable and most simple. I tried to find an app that restricts only having 1 pairing and having a prioritize option ... but I cannot find such app. People any options?
Thanks!
Hi guys, in response of the above, the app TRIGGER might do the job, but it seems closing the Android Wear app or disconnect via Bluetooth does NOT disconnect your watch! Has anybody succeeded in using TRIGGER to disconnect / connect the watch with a automatic job?

Smart lock not working?

Are you experiencing issues with bluetooth at all? Such as disconnecting from your devices randomly? It's just my initial thoughts but I'm going to keep looking around for more answers.

For the Smart Lock location issue there have been multiple people saying it's broken in play services at the moment. Some people have gone into maps and seen that their location was way off then it would get corrected and smart unlock would work.
Something worth trying is downloading GPS Status from the play store and it can reset your GPS and download new agps files for you to get better lock ons. It's worth a shot but I think you might be stuck until they fix it.
As for bluetooth, what are you doing when you notice it go out? Also are you rooted all that basic device info stuff?
#blamegoogle lol. Smart lock has been a bit buggy for a lot of users. I've had issues with the trusted places and trusted face. Hopefully Google will get this ironed out in future updates.

Nothing I've tried as fixed that issue, to the point of I don't even bother locking the phone anymore. Only time I really have any concern about anyways is when I'm away from home in public places, but I rarely leave my phone lying around for others to snoop or use or take!

The only reason I ask is that if a bluetooth device disconnects and reconnects you have to input your password once then smart lock works again.

OOPS. This was my fault. Well actually it is still the phones fault technically. I stream music mostly so when I leave the house my wifi is being used so when I leave the house and become out of range my phone will start looking for wifi again so my streaming music will stop. I thought it was the bluetooth but in actuality it was my phone looking for a wifi signal instead of instantly/quickly switching the data from wifi to LTE.
What really made me think it was the bluetooth is that, I have Optimum hotspots so my phone will switch from my home wifi to Optimum hotspots but the signal is not very strong for the data but strong enough to hold the wifi and not switch to LTE, soooooo I would turn my bluetooth on and off which most of the time would not work but by turning off wifi the phone will immediately switch to LTE and music is back. So its the phone that cannot tell or rather gauge a signals strength to see if it is too low for data and switch to LTE.
BUT YES, my bluetooth device smart lock is not working at all. Neither is the location smart unlock and I have tried the "Right and left neighbor address" trick. Still not working. Its broken.
Try the new play services: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/
It fixed the home location for me.

[Q] WiFi syncing

Hi all,
Purchased the watch couple days ago, yesterday was my first day to really put it through it's paces. Everything seems copacetic except for the WiFi syncing. I've got cloud sync turned on in the Wear app, and WiFi on the watch is set to "Automatic". I verified the watch is indeed connected to a valid WiFi network, with no exclamation points, etc., and I turn off BT on my phone (but keep it's data connection on.) I then try sending a text from the watch, no luck - "Try again from your phone." fail message. I send myself a text from my wife's phone to my phone, the phone registers it, but the watch doesn't. I go into Keep and delete a note on the phone, the watch still shows it. It's not until they reconnect via BT that everything syncs again. Oh, and I tried it on three different WiFi networks (2 at work, 1 at home), no success.
Here's the only thing that I can think of being different. The very first time I turned WiFi off on the watch, there's was a small Yes/No splash screen that came up saying something to the effect of "turning this off will prevent you from syncing"... I THINK. Honestly I can't recall what it said precisely (I was too excited playing with the watch), but the multiple times I've toggled WiFi since then, I have not seen that message again. Anyone know what message I'm talking about? Of course since it hasn't come up again I'm convinced it's the reason WiFi syncing isn't working now. I even factory reset the watch and cleared the data on my Wear app, hoping to get that message back. (It could be completely unrelated, it's just bugging me that ever since I chose "Yes I'm sure", syncing has not worked.)
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.

Did you ever figure this out?
I have the LG WATCH R with the Urbane rom and have the same issue. It shows connect to Wifi just fine but if I am away from the phone, I cannot send anything...just like when I have no connection.
I think the pop up you mentioned just had a option to prevent the warning from coming up again but should not affect the option to disable and enable the cloud sync.
Nope, afraid not. I posted it to the Google Android wear forums and a couple of "experts" replied to me with suggestions that did not help (factory reset, mainly.)

Yep that has been my "solutions" too so far. I am not sure how the Cloud Sync works do you? It is linked to your Google account? If so, I have 3 email accounts..could that create an issue? I am basically looking for anything right now
Here's what I did find out: my daily driver phone is a Moto X 2nd gen running Lollipop. I factory reset an old Samsung S4 and set it up with a Google account I'd just created. I then factory reset the watch and paired it to that phone. Wouldn't you know, the WiFi notifications worked!
I then factory reset the S4 again, this time using my main Google account to set it up. Factory reset the watch again also. After pairing them, the WiFi notifications did NOT work!
So, I can only conclude the issue is caused by how I have my main Google account configured, although right now I've gone through all the settings twice and verified that I have all of my sharing settings (like location) enabled. Argh.

Well my LG Watch R is now able to work with Wifi for real but only at home. Not sure what I did...I just deleted my accounts from Settings and added them back.
At work, though even when it shows connected, I do not receive any info from the Phone which is very lame since it was at work where I could really use it.

Cool! Can you tell me what you mean by "deleted my accounts from Settings"? I want to test it too.

I have 3 google accounts so I actually deleted only two that are not my primary. Then I went to the Sync options and made sure all was checked.
Then also for the Location I removed any other devices that are showing under my account that are not my Phone (tablet and older phones) but not sure which one of those did the trick.

Huh, okay, I'll give those a try. Thanks.
I did open a ticket with Android Wear Support and was told they were going to escalate the issue and I'd be contacted in 48 hours. That was Sunday. I just asked for an update and they replied that they have no solution ATM and no time frame to provide one. Heh! Oh well.

No "Pair" code during setup

Anyone know what could cause the LGWR to not show a pair code during setup? Because of this, the watch is pretty much junk at this point.
I've reset it to factory settings over and over again and I still get the same results. I'm going to assume it's a bad bluetooth module which sucks but I figured I'd ask on here if anyone might have suggestions before throwing it on ebay as parts. (or the trash can if nobody buys it)
Here is a picture to show what I mean:

Had same problem ... a quick new installation of the Android Wear app on my mobile and a reboot of both watch and mobile fixed it .... CouldnĀ“t connect the watch after a reset! Tried to reboot/reset watch and mobile many times w/o succsess ... had to do a fresh installation of the AW app then it worked ....
Hope that helps ....
I've tried that repeatedly and even tried flashing different versions of android wear and still no dice. I've contacted LG and that will be my only option aside from eBay it looks like.

Well try this (I had the same problem and find a solution not very orthodox but it works). If you have a tablet or other phone pair with him. Now with the watch paired with other phone/tablet, search in the watch Bluetooth definitions the phone that you really want to connect! This will give the code to the phone! Now, reset the watch and try to pair with the wanted phone!
Give a try... It works with me! Several times!
With Wear app? If watch was paired with another phone, then hard reset will help. Also, that code on picture is strange to me. Mine is with some numbers and letters...

That's the problem is it's not generating a pair code....it's blank! The first time I paired it, it had a pair code but now it doesn't. I have reset it more times that I can could trying to get it to pair to my phone, my tablet, my wifes phone, my kids' kindle fires....nothing works because none of them see the watch.
I sent it to LG to repair under warranty so we'll see what happens from them.
Had same problem just 2 hours ago again. About a dozen reboots and resets on both watch and phone and no pair code ... Deleted the wear app from phone, fresh installation from play store ... and it worked again? .... Sorry that i can't be more of a help than this even i know you tried it allready ...

Hey, I appreciate people still commenting in case anyone else might have this problem and their suggestions might help someone. For me, I uninstalled the app, tried it on other phones and tablets, I even reinstalled a new version of android on my phone just to have a clean slate and still nothing. I tried installing numerous versions of android on the watch and it always did the same thing....no pair code on that screen I posted a picture of.
When I contacted LG they said it sounded like a bad bluetooth module and I sent it off yesterday to be repaired by them so hopefully they get it repaired without trouble.
Same problem here. No solution so far.

I sent the stupid thing in and they "worked" on it and replaced the charging port on it and sent it back.....of course since I told them it was the bluetooth module and it wouldn't pair with any device then fixing the charging port obviously didn't fix it. I've emailed them again but they haven't responded. Idiots!
Sorry to hear that. So they didnt fix it?

No, they didn't fix it. I did a live chat with one of the people at LG yesterday and he's putting me in for another repair so I'll be sending it off tomorrow again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
same for me. the only thing that help me is to send it to lg in korea for fix under warrenty.
try to put the watch in the refrigirator for 10 min. and try again . it will show the 4 digit code and you will be able to connect but not for long.
It's official.... LG is the worst company to deal with in my experience. I have sent the watch a total of 3 times now and they will haven't fixed it correctly. First time they replaced the charging port, second time they fixed a "diode" and third time, the bluetooth module (supposedly). Still does the same thing..... Sits on the "install android wear" screen and won't do anything else.
I've lost confidence that it'll ever get fixed and I'll probably just sell it on eBay for parts and chalk LG up as a company to never buy anything from again.
Hey, I just got this issue
tried factory reset using watch and bootloader still no good*.
tried connecting using Bluetooth settings on my phone and still no good*.
enabled usb debugging and Bluetooth debugging on watch, then installed wear mini launcher on watch using abd(using cable) , then some magic happened and after i pressed the button on my watch it showed a pair code but not the screen from startup settings, then i tried connect using phone Bluetooth settings app and it connected, still android wear says it's not connected but when i tried again using android wear it finally did connect.
I know it is not a guide to resolve this problem but now my watch is working.
Don't know if this will work only when installing wear mini launcher or any app.
Still hope this will help some peoples.
Now I'm afraid to flash my phone again.
*no good= no pair code
EDIT:
I also enabled everything in the development menu containing bluetooth
I've just got myself a Watch R and am having a problem similar to this. When I try and start the watch, it asks me to pair the watch with my Samsung S7 edge. No problem. It sees the watch and the watch sees the phone. It updates, and syncs however, then it asks me to pair it with my phone which it doesn't see. The watch nor the phone shows itself as knowing that each other exists. I have tried reinstalling Androidwear, restarting the phone and watch several times. I also have an LG Urbane which is registered (although switched off) with androidwear.
HELP!!!!
