G Watch R & HTC one M8 with Lollipop No connection! - LG G Watch R

I have been using my G Watch R with an HTC One M8 running Kit Kat 4.4.2 quite happily.
I just updated my M8 to Lollipop. I can see the G Watch, and pair with it, but android wear just reports " connecting to your watch" but never connects.
I have done a reset on my G Watch but still no connection
Any help or suggestions please

I had no issues with I updated my M7.
Reboot your M8 and see if that helps. If it does not, try uninstalling the Android Wear app from your M8, reboot and then reinstall.

Using m8 & GWR both on their respective versions of 5.0.1 without any issues whatsoever. This sounds weird... Could it be an issue with the Bluetooth on the m8 maybe? Can you use other BT devices? If not, I'd do a reinstall of the ROM.

I have reinstalled Android wear on My M8 and of course rebooted it and my watch several times.
I can connect with my Macbook and connection share fine via Bluetooth, so I dont think its a ROM problem.

You're running the stock ROM on the watch and phone right?

yes stock rom on phone and watch

I successfully paired and connected my watch with a Nexus 5 running Lollipop, and then after doing another 3 factory resets on the watch it has now successfully connected with my
M8. It appeared to be having problems with wear apps that were previously installed on my phone, so prior to the last attempt I deleted all the wear apps from my phone.
Anyway all good now!

Ya sounds really strange I was able to pair easily with both sense and gpe lollipop Roms without a hitch, just resetting the watch..

I'm having the same problem with my just lollipop-updated Galaxy S5 (Verizon). I've rebooted the watch several times which did not fix the problem. Trying a reset now.
The reset seems to have fixed the problem. Will see if it stays fixed.

Same here
Same problem. Watch connects, works fine for a few days, then won't connect any more. Needs multiple factory resets to get it to reconnect , then start all over again... and still only lasts a few days or a week before the connection fails. Only since lollypop update to my Nexus4. Spoke to LG, they deny the problem.

The problem is not the watch but Lollipop. It doenst matter what kind of mobile you use. Bluetooth on Lollipop is not working well. Not only for watches. Also car radios for example are loosing connection.
Now I am back on 4.4.2 with my Note 3 and everything works fine again. With Lollipop connection was lost too often.
I hope Google knows about the problem.

Just had this happen to me. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6, Lollipop 5.0.2. Just lost connection with the watch, the watch can't see the phone. The phone sees the watch, but they won't pair. Bizarro. Doing a full reset of the watch, reboot the phone, try again...

[Q] Can't get Gear Live to connect / stay connected

So I've got a new Samsung Gear Live from the Play Store. I'm attempting to pair the device to a Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Gear Live I'm prompted with selecting a language. I choose English US. Then i'm taken to the "Install Android Wear on your phone" Screen
At first this screen would show me the text "Gear Live 4AFV" (or something along those lines). However 9/10 (after rebooting or resetting the watch) it will simply show me "Gear Live" no 4 digit name.
Without the 4 digits showing the phone will not detect the bluetooth device to connect. On the off chance that it does show up and the phone is able to detect the watch, the pairing process can either work, or stall leaving both devices sitting at a "wait a moment while pairing" screen that never ends.
Lastly, if everything works and i'm able to pair the watch and phone. it will randomly disconnect and nothing I do will make it reconnect to one another.
Other things to note. Bluetooth has no issues on my phone with any other device.
I've reset the watch numerous times,
I've uninstalled the Android Wear app as well as any other watchfaces or launchers.
I've factory reset the phone.
Suffice it to say i'm almost certain there is a problem with the watch, the question is has anyone else experience this or anything similar with a Reset hasn't fixed the problem and is there possibly a solution to this problem that isn't a replacement.
Google has offered to replace the watch but I want to ensure I"m not missing something here.
thanks for any assistance in advance.

I have the same connection issue but not until I updated it to Android version 5.0 that I started to get connection issues and the gear live was constantly doing a sync loop and it would not stay connected or send SMS messages.

Turn by Turn Navigation Cards Not Appearing?

As title says I can't get the navigation cards to appear. They used to work initially on the original LG G Watch but since upgrading to the G Watch R I can't seem to get it to work. I say "OK Google navigate to ..." And it starts the app on my phone just fine but nothing pops up on my wrist. Am I missing something?
Same problem for me. Android 5.0.2. Latest Maps, latest Android Wear.
Same was here..
After i bought my watch it was on Android 4.4, after setup it with the phone it was updated automaticly to 5.0.1 and my navigation doesn't work. But today i've reset my watch and setup up again, and navagitaion works just fine. Maybe after system upgrade of the watch is good to do factory reset to effect of the new android.
Thanks for the reply lostindark, was hoping that would work for me but unfortunately it didn't. Just tried it and it still does the same thing. Just to confirm, you just tapped the reset from the settings menu on the watch right? I did that and it didn't work, then I also cleared the data on the wear app, re-paired the watch and still didn't have any effect Does the same thing mentioned in the OP, works fine on the phone and starts the maps app there but no cards on the watch.
Sorry to heat this, i reset my watch only through settings and notting more but it was worked for me. After the reset and pairing again android wear app put other apps automatically on my watch after that everything works just fine.
Thanks anyways for the suggestion mate, I ended up getting a Nexus 6 today and it is working just fine paired with this phone. Must have been something with my OPO but I have no idea what since it was 100% stock other than root.

After Marshmallow update my watch is malfunctioning.

I have LG R watch paired with Verizon HTC One. It was working fine until recent Android Marshmallow upgrade. Now the watch does not get the calls, but does get the messages but only via Coffee app. Also test notifications from Android Wear are not received by the watch, but updates for watch faces are coming through. One app, that I remove from the phone (Apollo Wear Launcher) still on the watch, even though I already went through factory reset of the watch and reinstalled Android Wear app! Also, weather updates and stock updates are no longer received by the watch...
I really like the watch, but I don't know now if it is the phone, new Android or the actual watch that cause all such problems. I think it is something to do with Android latest version since nothing else was changed for the phone or the watch.
Anyone have any suggestions? I tried everything possible except factory reset of the phone (I did it for the watch), but no luck.
Thank you for your help.

Issue not updating or installing new apps on watch

Even with WiFi, LTE and Bluetooth enabled not able to update or install new apps using Google play store on watch.
Just says downloaded pending and doesn't download anything. Tried for several days on wifi and off.
Should I reset the watch?
I had the same issue the other day. I tried everything I could but ultimately a reset is what fixed it.
Thanks I reset and it fixed. Now LTE is not working with Verizon.
I just started having this issue. LG Watch Sport with build NQF430. This is kinda ridiculous. Can't update or install anything. I really don't want to reset this thing again.

Android Auto didn't starts anymore in my car.

Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
