ever since the Android Wear apps on my phone got updated to version 1.0.5.1785466 , my watch has been getting random "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error ..
anyone else experiencing the same ?
EDIT : so after going through a rather painful day that involve several restart, connect and disconnect .. everything seems to be ok now .. hopefully just a bad update procedure ..
Yepp !
Many errors with this update.
Mine didn't synch steps with Google Fit anymore, even after full reset.
Same. I woke up this morning to the app being updated and it broke a whole bunch of things. WatchMaker for one. Its only my second day with this thing.
P.S. Try reverting the android wear app back a revision. Seemed to have fixed the issues. Also, determined the watch face doesn't work.
I've opened a ticket with Google. It's a bad update. I'm going to roll back a version using Titanium Backup.
It's really a bad update!
In my case this Android wear app update is DRYING my phone's battery (LG G2)

With my LG g watch R seems all OK...

LG watch R No Longer Works Correctly after 1.0.5.1785466
Constant disconnect and battery drains. Android Wear doesn't display the watch faces anymore. Watch Maker no longer is work also. Performed Multiple factory resets on the watch and uninstall/reinstall Andriod Wear. NOTHING seems to work. Called Google and the Support person said there hand are tied and that the the Engineers are working on it. This watch is very expensive for it not to work make me extremely upset.
I 've had the Urbane for three weeks now, and I'm pretty pleased* with the watch except for a major problem:
I keep seeing that "cloud with a line through it" icon on top of the watch face way to often.
I'm actually looking at it right now - I'm at work, my Urbane is on my left wrist, and my phone is on the desk 20 centimeters away.
Since I haven't heard many others complaining about this, I'm suspecting the problem to be on the phone side - this is a "China phone", an Elephone P3000S (64bit, 3GB RAM) that I bought quickly as a cheap, but (on paper) good spec'd replacement for my broken Sony Z1 Compact.
But nevertheless, I thought I'd asked here if anyone else are experiencing the same?
I've factory reset the watch, I often reboot it, I reboot the phone even more often, and most of the time connection is re-established but lasts only for maybe 15 minutes up to several hours. I have disabled wifi on the watch to see if that improves things - initially I thought maybe it did (as long as I kept the phone nearby, of course), but after a while it seems it's not the case.
Anyone have any other tips? ...Before I replace the phone?
Thanks,
Christopher
*: of course I would prefer a brighter screen (when needed, i.e. outdoors), light sensor, better battery capacity, ...
Try to find out what Bluetooth version the phone has.

Guys,
Having the same problem as well..... I'm using a Nexus 6 with Bluetooth 4.1 which is also not so far away from my watch all the time..... Really don't know what's going on....
I don't have an Urbane watch (yet) but ran into this issue myself....I downgraded Android Wear on my phone back to 1..0.5 to fix my problem. To get the apk I am using now, see the link below. Before that, my watch would constantly disconnect from the phone for no reason. Best of luck to you all! The Urbane is the BEST looking smart watch out there IMO!

Same here. N6 running CM12.1. Bluetooth works perfectly with car, around home, other devices. I've tried every setting I can think of. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Have you tried enabling/disabling the wireless syncing option? I had similar initial issues, had to factory reset and I disabled Wireless Syncing (and deleted the cloud data).
I then setup the phone again and didn't enable wireless sync for a few hours so I knew the phone was setup and working only using Bluetooth.
I knew something was wrong as once the wireless Sync was disabled and the cloud info deleted, my watch said it had lost connection to the phone and I had to factory reset it (even through Bluetooth was enabled still).
I am having significantly more instances of Bluetooth disconnections on this watch that I did with the Moto 360. This especially occurs in my car while driving. I'd bet that the watch disconnects every 10 minutes or so in the car.
Same here ... I have an LG G3 running Lollipop with an LG Watch Urbane running v5.1.1 This is to replce my LG Watch R but these connectivity issues every 10 seconds is highly frustrating ... Looking forward to a permanent fix on this thread ...
I'm starting to see the same thing, no issue while both are on WiFi, but without WiFi my watch is constantly disconnecting. Normally rebooting the watch seems to fix the issue, but really hope this gets fixed soon.
If I get away from my phone watch disconnects, thats normal. But when I get close to phone again, it doesn't connect automatically, or connects too late. Is that normal? This is so annoying.
well im all good not had that at all i get about 25 foot then loose bt soon as im back in 25 foot im good
i have a edge
I have an SGS6 Edge and it is slow connecting. I've found it will connect instantly if I turn BT off and back on.
Has anyone tried using phones wifi terhering instead of bt connection? Maybe that extends the connection distance?
Seems like my problems are solved for the most part. Doesn't disconnect that often anymore. Could be because of recent update to Android 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 and I factory resetted my urbane! Lookin' good now!!
How about you guys?
I have a Nexus 6P, and the disconnecting with my Urbane is beyond annoying. I'm starting to think that, despite the looks of the Urbane, the watch itself is a pile of poo.
Same issue here. Phone and watch constantly disconnect. If I walk 10 feet from my phone, it disconnects and doesn't reconnect when I come back within range of the bluetooth.
Pleased to report, though, that I went into Settings>Apps>Android Wear and cleared the cache and the phone has been reconnection pretty well. I have the LG V10 and the G3 before that and have found that you have the clear the cache on bluetooth connections every once in a while, and then things start to work smooth again.
Hope this helps someone out there.
I have been having the same problem since I got my new Nexus 6P. On my old phone, an Asus Zenfone 2, I would hardly ever lose connection. I might drop connection once a day. With my new phone, its about once an hour if I'm lucky. I just did a factory reset of both the phone and watch this evening, and so far it seems to have helped but I'm not going to call it fixed yet until I make a whole day without losing connection.
For what its worth, there are tons of people who are saying the BT on the N6P is boned, as well as a ton of people saying the same thing about the Urbane.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and have both Bluetooth and Wifi connected to my LG Urbane however:-
If I go away from phone - within my own house AND well within Wifi range - it LOSES connections to BOTH Bluetooth and Wifi. (Bluetooth I can understand but how come it is losing connection to Wifi)?
Anyone got any answers please?
I bought the Watch R a week or so ago and I've been trying to work out why the Google Now notifications are so unreliable.
At first, I thought it was just me - I never really embraced Google Now and actually had it turned off on my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge). A few days ago I turned it on, configured it and was expecting to see the odd card popup on my watch every now and then but I've had zip.
So, I thought I'd test the notifications on the watch, from the Android Wear app, but the only notification that works all the time is the phone call. Most of the other notifications just don't pop up on screen and the only way I see them is to swipe the face from above and then they're there. Is this normal behaviour? I thought that notifications were supposed to popup on the screen, like on my phone!
I've reset the phone a couple of times in desparation but it's made no difference. I've unpaired the watch from the phone and re-paired it after forgetting the device. No difference. Removed all the custom watch faces and used only the once that came with the watch and once again, no difference.
I do get notified of text messages and emails with no problem, but nothing from Google Now.
Can anyone please suggest anything?
I have the s6 and I don't receive any notifications except the test phone call. I believe it to be a samsung problem with it killing the wear app from running in the background. watch worked fine with my other phones.
It's ridiculous, my s6 / gwr doing the same thing. Reboot both and things work for a little while, then gradually peters away to nothing. Except for sometimes I'll tap the watch for the time, and some random google now cards will be there, which I dismissed days before! Swipe them away but the same few keep coming back! As for the weather reports, well they've not worked for over a month now. And all this without me touching any settings whatsoever. I've exempted the android wear app from battery optimisation in the s6 too, incase they were that dense they'd overlooked that core app, but doesn't seem to have sorted it. Seems every time these companies update stuff they break it, and don't care about fixing it.!
Just manually flashed the Android Wear 2.0 on my LG watch urbane at first it was slow and laggy and but then a day or two later it straightened​ itself out and it was like butter.
And the purpose of this topic is?
Mine is still really laggy after about 4 days.
Mind is unusabley lethargic.
Same here. A great smartwatch has become effectively useless since 2.0. Can't even answer calls on it anymore for cryin' out loud!
My watch was incredibly laggy and had terrible battery drain too. Today I did nothing different besides turning WiFi off and the lag is gone and the battery is similar to 1.5. (Which sucks since I used WiFi quite a bit, but at least the watch is usable.) I'm going to reenable WiFi tomorrow to see if the lag returns.

I just turned wifi off and the difference is night and day. Thanks, because I thought I was going to have to find a way to get 1.x back.
The UI is fluid most of the time, notifications come without delay but functionality seems to be down. I think Google has messed up Android Wear. Needs another major update imo.

Weird that it's seemingly such a randomly different experience for each user. My UI is laggy as hell, and the notifications only seem to show when they want to! It does vibrate when receiving them but either shows nothing (leaving me to swipe up to see what it is) or auto-pops up and takes up my whole​ watch face! Yet if I receive a phonecall, I'm lucky if my watch acknowledges it at all! Maybe, in 2 out of 10 tries?!
... Which leads me into completely agreeing with the downturn in functionality. On the couple of occasions my watch had picked up that I'm receiving a call, it only gives me the option to hang up! (Making my paid for Wear Speaker app effectively useless.) No way to answer from the watch at all. Same goes for notifications. Email for example, I can delete, archive or reply (all on the watch only) but I can't just tap to open it on my phone like I used to be able to! YouTube video subscription notifications are just that... Notifications! As the only option is to add to the watch later list. No option to open on the phone. Nothing!
Basically, it's great that they've added functionality that enables you to use the watch without the phone... But not at the expense of cutting out the phone completely! It still needs the phone to function fully, and is STILL only a companion product to go with a phone! I seriously don't understand how they've managed to screw this up so badly even after all the delays??! ?
It is weird because enough people report your experience for it to be just in your head. My was slow for a few hours but then sped up and is nice and at least as fluid as 1.5.
I did reboot and that didn't help. Factory reset made a huge difference.
Any ideas how to downgrade? My watch is practically usless... I hate the new update they've removed every single thing that made this watch remotely usefull
Yeah this update sucks on the urbane, everything takes much longer and isn't smooth... Good timing for me since I'm getting back into shape I bought a Fitbit charge 2 and will sell the urbane if it's worth anything.. I would like the Movado Wear watch but I'll make sure it's also not underpowered before purchase..
Thanks Google!

How can I install an apk in the watch? Untill now installing it on the phone was enough, but with 2.0 release it seems that you can only install programs with the play store installed on the watch. I suppose with adb I will able to install apks but does anyone know an easier method?
Thanks

In the settings on the watch there is an option for something like 'apps on phone' where you can select which apps you want to be installed from the phone instead of automatically like in 1.5. It may be an option in the Play store on the watch. I don't have 2.0 yet, waiting for my Urbane 2nd Edition update, but I've read about it.

Exactly!!! You can find an option in the watch Play Store called apps on phone where you can download into the watch the apps you need.
Thank you very much!!

Yeah, that option is missing now. Currently swiping down, tapping the sun symbol and then the watch-sysbol in the middle below seems to be the only way.
But at least after I did a factory reset of the watch yesterday and paired it again with my LG V10 the watch runs much smoother than before. Truth be told I have not installed all applications yet I was running on the Urbane before (like Watchmaker for example) but I will install one after another and check if the lags I had before reappear.
Mine had AW 1.1 out of the box. Upgraded to 2.0 and it was unusably laggy. Even tilt-to-wake was very delayed. "OK Google" would take over 10 seconds for assistant to come up.
My watch too has become barely useable. Google assistant can sometimes take upwards of 20 seconds to load. And there is a huge delay on my notifications, I don't even receive notifications for calls. Android wear 2.0 has definitely ruined my watch, which is sad because I love using assistant on my phone to control my Philips hue lights.
Did anyone contact LG or Google about this problem? Android Wear 2 made my device useless after just 1,5 years. That's unacceptable!
so have recieved the S10 today
i wont go into the things i like because it is an amazing phone
i just have couple if issues and wondering if anyone else had these and/or have fixes
some apps are crashing - basically open and they instantly force close
specifically: google photos, google home, Netflix
android wear is not finding my watch despite resetting the watch several times, and the watch seeing the phone but not other way around
do wall papers change as well or is it just the lock wall papers that change?
thanks xxx:silly:

Yes it's a wonderful phone but things can go wrong sometimes. The issues you described are most probably due to some weird setting or app. Try to reset your phone and see
I have the regular S10 and haven't experienced the issues you describe. The thing that caused me the biggest amount of grief was setting up WhatsApp!!
Try a factory reset - if issue persists get it exchanged although it sounds more likely it's a software issue. Good luck, hope you get it sorted.
Yeah I can't get android wear to recognize my android watch either
I also noticed that my LTE speeds are atrocious compared to my previous S8 (both on the same carrier...Sprint).
