Hello, I have received an update to Android Wear 5.0.1 yesterday on my LG G Watch R. Ever since I've updated it, the watch as been freezing and giving me a static screen. The screen will remain there for 5-10 minutes and then it will act fine again, but then it will randomly freeze and give this issue again. I deeply regret updating as the watch has been perfectly fine and running smooth before the update. I will try to attach a picture of the screen, but has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a possible fix?

I have a some what simillar problem.
After the update my custom faces no longer go on standby mode.
I'd remove all wear related apps on your phone. Uninstall android wear too. Then I'd factory reset my watch. Reinstall wear from the market and see if the problem persists

This sounded like a hopeful idea but upon resetting to factory settings, the device shut off and reboot(as expected) and then it just gave a static screen. The static screen stayed there for five minutes and it allowed to select a language, ect. I have just re-installed Android Wear onto my phone(I had it uninstalled before resetting the watch) and it is now paired and it is behaving as it did after updating it yesterday, just giving me random static screens I'm leaving the country tomorrow, but I will be checking back for any solutions between now and then. Anything would be helpful. But it does look like I will be contacting LG about the matter, it doesn't seem to be a common issue to have a static screen...
Some face are not compatible with new face api in V5. Try with a LG Standard face (Camping) to see if you freeze or not ?
I have issue with intellicom, weather Watchface..... now I'm trying original face and no issue in 24H

My first one did this, but would not get normal until the battery was empty, charging it did cause a reboot. Contacted LG, they said a Hardware failure, and send me a email with their conclusion (i send them a picture, with a description) so if the webshop i bought it from was reluctant to swap it for a new one, i was supported by this, not necessary, they swapped it, that one got the blinking issue, and now i have a third new one Get it replaced!

I might just go ahead an do this once I get back home. This morning the screen was acting very odd as I was swiping through notifications and it just began blinking and showing black lines near the edge. It stopped once I hit the power button twice. I'll just get it exchanged before it gets worse Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I get lucky the second time!

Hey all,
I was wondering if any of you have seen the heart rate and pedometer stop working all together. I have not rooted, rom'ed or done anything to this watch yet.
I have also tried reseting the device, powering it down and attempting the reading with both the google fit app and samsung heart rate app. Neither work and neither will turn on the green light that indicates the heart rate monitor is working.
Any ideas? I also have been having problems, like others, with random disconnecting and ok google commands failing to work.
Thanks.
Same problem with pedometer. Not rooted or ROM.
Help?

Went out for a jog after 30mins said I did 149Steps
Guess I need to pick up the pace?
I restarted the Fit app, and it looks like it started counted again.

You can say "start fit", or navigate to the start menu select the fit icon manually
Yes, yesterday I realised that despite running around after people at work all day I had actually managed 0 steps. Today has had a similar work load and once again I seem to have been floating serenely around the department.
I get two sets of data for step count the Note 3 says 10k
Run "Fit" it tells me 7000 steps?
The step count on the Gear Live just started acting up.
For those having issues with the step counter did you guys use facer or something similar and add the step count? I noticed mine acted up after I added it to face. Nothing short of reseting the watch would fix it either

I'm using facer, but not to display the step count, only the time & date.
Having the same issue, where steps count stays at 0, and heart rate monitor doesnt even light up. I tried resetting the device, then tried to use HRM before any apps are installed, but still no luck.
I think it started after installing a watchface (devops time). But the problem is still there after factory reset, so I dont think its the app's problem.
Still looking for solution..
Answer for those who are looking at this issue..
Just turn off your watch and wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. (restart doesn't work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-live/help/heart-rate-sensor-stopped-t2818335
All the sensors are alive now. Pedometer, accelerometer, HRM, compass.
I feel both stupid and relieved now.
heh I had this issue today was about to return the watch.. reset it, restarted it nothing worked then saw this and realized I never fully powered it off. Thanks!
GPe HTC One M8
With a GPe HTC One M8 (KitKat, stock) and a Samsung Gear Live, I found that my step counter stopped working when I installed Google Fit. Lots of tricks (including uninstalling 3rd party watch faces and powering off) didn't work. Uninstalling the Google Fit app fixed my problem.
Was very annoyed to find this on the Google Fit Help - Fit isn't tracking activities correctly: If you have an HTC One M8, your phone may be incompatible with Fit.
Can't tell from the help page if this is referring to the step counting built in to the M8 or something more fundamental to the Google Fit app.
For those experiencing lost steps with Google fit, there is an issue if you ate taking steps with the watch while the phone isn't moving. In any instance where the watch and phone step counts disagree the phone takes precedence.

Do you know if they are going to fix this? This has not always been the case. It used to sync with my watch and grab those steps. Why the other way around?
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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/help/android-wear-app-version-1-0-5-1785466-t3060252
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.
Not sure if this is a GWR issue, but if I disconnect it, I don't seem to get the problem occuring.
I'm using it with an Xperia Z3, recently updated to lollipop. I keep noticing the phone and watch have the star icon, meaning it has flipped into priority mode. It is doing this spontaneously without me doing anything. Yesterday it seemed to be really bad - almost every time I looked - there was the damn star.
Is anyone else having this issue? Found anything to fix it?

Thanks. Have uninstalled wear mini launcher and will see if it helps
I been having this annoying issue with the top left corner not responding to touch. This will often happen when I'm in a app or have multiple apps open. This never happened before. Until I got this replacement device. Has anyone else experience this issue?
can you remember if you were plugged in to the power source? I've had that few times using the phone while charging. unplug it then problem goes away. I think it's a known issue from the LG OS/software. it happens rarely so I don't really see that as a problem but surely a bug needs to be fixed.
I am having the same exact problem with my S6 edge. And looking around the Web, I've found that many others seem to be having the same problem with various devices. The only common link I've seen so far is lollipop.
Even if you rotate the screen, the dead area moves with the rotation and you still can't click on that area to access the menu, etc.
Of course, I can't find anyone official to acknowledge the problem, so I'm not sure what we can do.
Wow that's sucks. A buddy of mine is having the same issue with lollipop 5.1 I'm having this problem now after getting a brand new unopened lg g4.

I had the same issue a few days ago. This was after I flashed back to stock and just finished adding all my apps back. I don't know if flashing back or adding an app caused it. All I did was kdz back and my top left corner started working again.
Try to remove facebook messenger , restart and try it will be solved (worked with me )
FB Messenger is definitely the problem. I can pretty much guarantee it. Been testing it here and that's what I keep seeing as the cause of the issue.

The short version, a buttload of testing with various different phones between myself and other digital forensic examiners. Can't exactly say WHAT is causing it in their code. But we can comfortably say that it is being caused by the app. We have some speculation as to the problem, but not enough to exactly pinpoint it. But we can comfortably saw that it's Facebook Messenger.
I uninstalled the app and my screen started to work properly again. Kinda wish I knew this 3 replacement phones ago.
Dear guy
After I update to 1910.34 yesterday on my tencent phone , my right air trigger not working well I need to press so hard near lockscreen button to make it work even I set lowest force level and sensitive bosster turn on.
Does anyone have the same issue like mine? And is this hardware and software issue ?

Try update to 1910.44. This fix the problem
right air trigger is not working perfectly
Problem not resolved after update also.
Left Air-Trigger button not working properly
Yesterday my phone's left air-trigger started to loose its connection or something. I had to press really hard for it to notice that I am pressing the button. And even when I am holding it, it again looses its connection in between. Firstly I thought that it was app specific but then I tried it on multiple games and the issue was same on all. This has made it almost unplayable. Then I thought may be it will get fixed by updating the phone. But even after updating it to 1910.64 (which is latest by this day) the air trigger were not working as they were on the day of purchase. Please let me know if it is a software issue or a hardware issue. And if you need more information I will happy to provide them so feel free to ask. BTW I purchased this device this month only.
Have u tried folks factory reset?

Hi Everyone! Hope you all are well.. @arpitsinha explained..
I am facing the same issue since January update and its remains same till date.. i tried hard resetting, Rollback on android 9, again updating to letest android 10 and may 2020 update as well.
I also wrote mail to Asus about the same but their responce was cold and told me to visit Asus Service center after Lockdown. I also watche youtube video where a guy suggested to clean teigger spot with spirit and or try removing Back cover and use phone naked.. pointless but i did tried ...
Finally after trying all options I did something that didn't resolve My mobile issue but it resolved mine..
I stared using 4 finger.. hope asus acknowledge it and resolve this issue soon.
