So I've had my R for a couple of months now, and it's been working fine, until after it was updated to 5.0.2. It stopped connecting to my Nexus 6, so I reset it. After that, the Android Wear app would never find it. I've wiped my phone, tried two other phones (Nexus 5 with Lollipop, Nexus 4 with KitKat) and nothing sees it. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It just sits at the "Install Android Wear on your phone" screen. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue as you right now.. in the past when my watch is still rooted... I just need to clear the dalvik cache in recovery and it be fine... but now i restored to stock so I can't perform this.
any help?
I am having the exact same issue. And lately google play services and contacts and other things began randomly crashing ALOT on my verizon note 4. Nothing rooted all stock on phone and watch. Did our bluetooth radios die or is this a widespread problem with an update noone has documented yet? I need my watch lol. Any one else?

Did anyone figure out a solution to this? Is it the watch or the phone (i'm using an s6 edge)?
All i get is "install android wear on your phone" on my moto 360, and on the android wear app it doesn't find my watch. I literally cannot do anything on my watch but stare at the "install android wear on your phone" message. I only tried to reset my watch because it was connecting and disconnecting rapidly every 5-10 seconds for hours and was my last resort.
Anyone please help?!

I am having same problem as op, why would you not root again and wipe dalvik if that was working before, i have been trying to root so i can do this but i cant got stuck on twrp and would not boot to start up so i flashed everything back to normal and bluetooth will not show at all on any device...
I believe it has to do with the latest version of android wear. Ever since the last update a lot of people have been reporting the same and similar problems in the play store. A fix for me even though it is inconvenient is resitting the watch and re installing android wear. Every since the update I have to do that every couple of days.

what I do is first I unpair the watch from the phones bluetooth settings, then I uninstall android wear from the phone. Then I take the watch and I go under settings and reset the watch, once the watch is finished resetting I re-install android wear on the phone and re-pair.

ANSWER: after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

i answered after scanning the thread too quickly
I've done every steps above: Factory reset my GWR, then on my phone I clear data in setting - apps - android wear then pair again. My GWR connect successfully but after sync app it disconnect, then my phone can not find the watch anymore.
I've done all these steps 5-6 times and the result still the same!
I dont know whats wrong with my GWR?
I have same problem
Especially when the "install android wear on your phone" text appear on watch, below it is G watch R but is there 4 digit " name" of the watch did not showed, and adroid wear not see the watch to pair.
The watch is on 5.0.2
Pls help me.

This is what happened to mine. I tried all the things mentioned in this thread, but finally the only thing that worked was a hard factory reset (swipe from top left to bottom right over the LG logo when booting) and then leaving the watch on charger for like 3 hours and finally my phone could see and connect to it. I've heard this worked for others too.

Anybody else having these problems? 2nd day to have it and it would freeze up and bootloop. At one point it was off for 2-3 hours and I couldn't get to fastboot. Finally I got it to factory reset twice and its doing fine for now. Unfortunately I'm on shift for 24 hours or I'd make Verizon give me a new one.

Could it be some app that you installed? Haven't had any problems myself with it.
Have you switched from dalvik to art?
I've had zero issues with bootloops so far.
Haven't switched to art and I doubt any nonroot app would cause bootloops. Who knows.

Had one this morning. Phone froze during a phone call, and then got stuck at the boot screen before the animation. Rebooted it by holding the volume and power button and it's worked since.
No problems here, have played games for several hours straight with no issues and have been playing with it all day.
Mine was solid for about 4 hours and its starting back up again. Maybe I have a lemon.

sounds like a defective unit or something.
i'd do a wipe, dont install any apps, see if it works fine or not. if it does, probably an app issiue. if you are getting problems even after the reset, its the phone.
Same issue here. Kept randomly rebooting, but only occasionally. Did a few factory resets, installing only essential apps each time thinking it was one of my apps that didn't play nice with Turbo (even though they played just fine with my Razr Maxx and Galaxy S5) to no avail. Last night, did a factory reset, didn't install any apps (nor did I update any of the pre-installed ones) and this morning, endless bootloop. I can't get it to stop. I'm really starting to hate this startup sound. LOL!
My phone locks up occasionally. Always restarts itself. I'm not sure what has been causing my phone to lock up but I haven't been able to pinpoint an action that is specifically creating the issue.
Sent from my XT1254
So I couldn't figure out a way to just power it down (all the usual button combinations just kept rebooting it, which then continued the bootloop) so I just figured I'd let it bootloop until the battery ran out. After about 3 hours of bootlooping, it just finally booted. I didn't touch anything. Weird. Maybe it's like a 4 year old temper tantrum, just let them get it out of their system and all will be better in a couple hours. Hahaha!
I have a phone that it's going this as well. I can get into recovery and reset but that didn't work. If I try to wipe cache the phone reboots and freezes which seems abnormal. I never had a phone reboot after wiping cache. I loaded the phone into fastboot and using RSD Lite I flashed the original software into the phone to no help. I did notice though that in the fastboot option that my baseband is blank. Might just be a bad device.? Does anyone know where I can find stock firmware 21.44 (that has the VoLTE option)?

With four turbos there seems to be more of a user error than system. you either disabled a needed apk, installed an apk that doesn't play nice, or you took an ota and havent completed an FDR. Its recommended and has been posted on here multiple times throughout this site/forum that always, always do a FDR with an update.

I'm not running any additional apks at this point and haven't since the second replacement device. Apparently, I just have good luck with this phone, that I now despise, and wish I could get rid of. I followed all the disable guides for what was safe, and I'm not sure what an FDR is, but if you tell me I'll give it a shot. Last replacement came updated as well. At this point this current model doesn't even receive phone calls, because it just doesn't work correctly.

I have the same problem. All started with the HTC One M7 problems with no audio during calls.
Did Full Wipe on the phone, reinstalled, finally got it working but couldn't connect the watch to Android Wear.
Restored Android Watch and data with Titanium but still nothing.
Finally read that you have to reset the watch. Did that and now I'm stuck on the "Install Android wear on your phone" screen.
I've tried connecting to the watch with different phones without any success..none of the phones sees the watch.
If I push the crown I get the settings page with only the following options:
Adjust Brightness
Bluetooth Devices - which shows: Bluetooth is currently disabled)
Always on Screen
Power off
Restart
Reset device
About
no place to check the airplane mode...nothing.. It's like there should be a "switch" to start the bluetooth somewhere..
any ideas greatly appreciated. For the moment I have a nice black thing on my watch which isn't doing anything..

Well I have an update. I honestly don't know what has changed...but my watch works again. Having the occasional connection lost problem as reported by many in the new 5.0 update in the watch but nothing too serious.
Anyway, reset your watch. Forget the watch in the Android wear app (or delete data and clear cache), but also delete the paired watch from the phones bluetooth menu.( BTW: I deleted all my paired devices in the phones bluetooth menu and then paired the watch first, don't know if this affected or not, if all else fails you can try this also).
Then turn off bluetooth from your phone. Start Android wear app and let it turn on bluetooth. THis way I can pair my phone. Whenever the watch loses connection to the phone and doesn't reconnect toggle bluetooth off and on from the phone and it works again.
Perhaps it's because the watch is already on Lollipop and the phone not yet...

I haven't had any issues and my T-Mo G3 is still on Kit-Kat.
Best practice if pairing gets wonky or whatever, is exactly what you did. Clear / Forget all pairings. Turns everything off. Turn phone on, enable BT, run Android Wear, turn on Watch - wait - follow regular steps and everything should be golden.
If it's still not working, try a reset on the Watch - if it's still won't work, RMA or take it back to the place you bought it from.

I'm on lollipop on both watch and phone and getting constant disconnections
I will say that my rom is a leaked version of lollipop from Samsung on my note 3
But to date since Xmas it's been a joke
To the point that it might be going back if it doesn't get fixed in the next few days
I am going to go back to official kit kat later and see if that helps
I must say before the lollipop update on both watch and phone it worked brilliant not one disconnection when I trialled the watch when it was first delivered.
If it had been like it is now I would have sent it back there and then
I'm just hanging on because I know it did work prior to the updates
So I'm sure it will again
So my watch updated last night, and now I am trying to figure out all the changes.
I see that we have new gestures. I don't really use them, so Meh.
I also see that my battery projection jumped from 50 hours to 3 days, so that I freaking awesome if it pans out.
Anyone see anything else?

I think Google's reason was: "Why? Because F**k you, thats why!" It also baffles me that they still haven't incorporated custom canned responses to declined phone calls; you are stuck with the default ones even though you set up custom ones on the phone - the reason was probaby the same as the reboot omisson.

Have you tried 'Unpair with phone'? To me that sounds like it would do a factory reset since an unpaired watch is basically useless.
Big change
Hi all,
Also got marshmallow, and biggest change for me is that it won't pair with phone. It comes up alright, and after accepting the Bluetooth code the phone wear app says "couldn't connect with ...". I tried factory resets (via unpair phone setting item), fresh install of wear phone app, and what not - still no luck.
Will try to downgrade and see if that helps.
Yours,

From what I understand factory reset is "Unpair with phone" now, as when you select it asks: "are you sure you want to unpair and factory reset watch.
Interesting thing, is the new Reminders app, doesn't seem to work it asks to update android wear on phone when I open it, but nothing happens.

I have the same issue. After OTA , i factory resetted and now it will not pair. I get "failed to pair...." I have tried multiple resets and cleared the data on the android wear app but no joy. I have gone back to 5.1.1 using the first post of the factory image thread. I was able to flash boot.img and system.img but recovery.img failed due to a partition error. Now everything is working again. Paired and synced on first attempt.

I also went back to 5.1.1 and things now work again - recovery flash also worked.
Seems the problem is really on the phone end. I have a Nexus 4 with "Fake stock" ROM (marshmellow). I could get the watch to pair with my Nexus 7 running stock 6.0..1 and that paired just fine. I also see other problems with the same Nexus 4 ROM with other bluetooth devices - e.g., my Jabra Tag II bluetooth audio RX/TX. I've posted on the ROM bug report forum.
My watch gives an error about a muted microfone although the mike is enabled everywhere in the settings where possible.
" Microfone disabled, waiting for injected audio."
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also the screen goes off after some time although I haven't enabled it anywhere?
Maybe I'll just reset it...
The biggest change for me - now we have native vibration when the watch disconnects (on connects) ... it was about f'in time ...

Manually updated mine to 6.0.1 using adb and now my iPhone (9.3 beta3 and latest android wear app) constantly looses connection. Have to pair as new device, restarting phone and/ or watch won't help.
Does anybody experience the same?

Hmm, well thats a disappointing. The removal of the reboot and reset is moronic and the new gestures are useless.
For the most part I cant get them to work, and even if I could why would I want to look like I was a nutter because I was randomly flapping my arm around trying (usually unsuccessfully) to control my damn watch?

I used the one at the top of the list. I don't know what the differences are between 5.1.1 versions
While playing around with getting TWRP installed on my Gear live things went South.
I can no longer get into any mode (fastboot, recovery, bootloader) except regular boot; using the "normal" method of hold-power-button and swipe diagonally once or twice. No matter how much I swipe, it will ONLY boot to regular system.
However, as soon as the boot finishes it asks for language and then hangs with message saying I have to "install android wear in your phone". Wear is already on my phone, but it will not pair with the watch.
I figure if I can't get into one of the modes mentioned above, there is no way to un-brick the watch. Hopefully, one of you will prove me wrong.
HELP???
Boowho
Similar issue with Samsung Gear Live watch....
I had a similar issue...... My Gear Live kept doing to the same " install android wear in your phone" message...
I use a Galaxy S6 Edge + to pair it with, not that the type of phone probably matters.... I did several, and i mean several reboots / reinstalls / restarts/ factory resets/remove and reinstall android wear... . finally called Samsung tech and they said it wasn't fixable and i needed to buy a replacement.
I am sorry, and don't know how i got 'lucky', but a few days later, before i gave up totally on it.. it did an OTA update and asked if i wanted to install it !! after that it asked for another update, and another update and another update. Each time it brought the ' security patch level closer and closer to the current date ( it is finally up to sept. 5,2016 )
Android Wear on the watch is now 1.50.3287245
Play service is 9.8.77
Android OS is 6.0.1
and with these updates it now has wi-fi capability ( yes - Gear Live has wi-fi )
All this happened right when i was about to give up on it / Now it works perfectly , updates from my phone with new watch faces immediately , etc.
very very cool watch.
ps. I did also read several, and i mean several posts all over the internet about the Gear Live and its issues. ( sorry, i don't have all the links, but sure if you google you can find the same ones i went to ) I did turn on NFC ( near field Comm) on my phone, as well as bluetooth and wifi.
There is a youtube video that walks you through factory resetting it... I did so many resets and downloads and re downloads ( I was on a mission ! ) Now, finally works like it should and have had zero problems with it for the past several months !

pss. I haven't posted to a forum in YEARS , but with all the frustration i went through I thought maybe my few tidbits might help you .. I truly had given up, when these updates started to come through -
Best wishes.

While playing around with getting TWRP installed on my Gear live things went South.
I can no longer get into any mode (fastboot, recovery, bootloader) except regular boot; using the "normal" method of hold-power-button and swipe diagonally once or twice. No matter how much I swipe, it will ONLY boot to regular system.
However, as soon as the boot finishes it asks for language and then hangs with message saying I have to "install android wear in your phone". Wear is already on my phone, but it will not pair with the watch.
I figure if I can't get into one of the modes mentioned above, there is no way to un-brick the watch. Hopefully, one of you will prove me wrong.
HELP???

Thanks for you interest....... I've been trying numerous re-boots, factory resets and other things. I can't get the watch to pair with my phone; so OTA update is not going to happen..
Can't get into fastboot/recovery mode either. The only thing I CAN do is get into DOWNLOAD mode, but I don't have then correct firmware files in ODIN format.
Thanks

I had a similar issue...... My Gear Live kept doing to the same " install android wear in your phone" message...
I use a Galaxy S6 Edge + to pair it with, not that the type of phone probably matters.... I did several, and i mean several reboots / reinstalls / restarts/ factory resets/remove and reinstall android wear... . finally called Samsung tech and they said it wasn't fixable and i needed to buy a replacement.
I am sorry, and don't know how i got 'lucky', but a few days later, before i gave up totally on it.. it did an OTA update and asked if i wanted to install it !! after that it asked for another update, and another update and another update. Each time it brought the ' security patch level closer and closer to the current date ( it is finally up to sept. 5,2016 )
Android Wear on the watch is now 1.50.3287245
Play service is 9.8.77
Android OS is 6.0.1
and with these updates it now has wi-fi capability ( yes - Gear Live has wi-fi )
All this happened right when i was about to give up on it / Now it works perfectly , updates from my phone with new watch faces immediately , etc.
very very cool watch.
ps. I did also read several, and i mean several posts all over the internet about the Gear Live and its issues. ( sorry, i don't have all the links, but sure if you google you can find the same ones i went to ) I did turn on NFC ( near field Comm) on my phone, as well as bluetooth and wifi.
There is a youtube video that walks you through factory resetting it... I did so many resets and downloads and re downloads ( I was on a mission ! ) Now, finally works like it should and have had zero problems with it for the past several months !

Hi.
I just saw Android Wear 2.0 came out for the Urbane so I thought factory resetting my watch is going to help me find the update,now I can't connect my watch to my phone.
I paired it,everything is ok on the Phone (it sees the watch and everything works) but i'm stuck on the " Syncing " white screen on the watch..
I reseted the watch 3 times,nothing works..
What's wrong? I don't want to factory reset my phone....

Factory reset your watch, also forget watch on the phone, power cycle bluetooth too on the phone, clear data for android wear app on the phone, also clear cache for google service framework. Hopefully it will work.
